Description

Office chair for bodily sensation actuator

The present invention relates to an office chair for a sensation actuator.

Conventionally, a sound source such as an external sound source or an internal sound source, in particular, a low frequency component (a component having a frequency of 150 Hz or less) of an acoustic signal as an external sound source is converted into mechanical vibration by an electro-mechanical vibration converter, and the vibration is experienced. A “sensory sound device” that listens to music while listening to music has been proposed. As an example of a body sensation acoustic apparatus having a relaxation effect, there is a “chair type” device (Patent Documents 1 to 5).

The chair-type body sensation apparatus or the chair-type body sensation support body includes an electro-mechanical signal converter at least in the backrest portion, and is electrically connected to the box-type housing (vibration driving device) via an electric cord. The box-type housing is used separately from the chair-type sensation supporter.

That is, FIG. 2 of Patent Document 1 controls a sound generating means (internal sound source) and a signal of an internal sound source acquired from the sound generating means in one portable box-shaped housing (vibration driving device). And a color change signal processing circuit, a sound signal processing circuit, and a vibration signal processing circuit for processing control signals from the control means, respectively, while being separate from the box-type housing. A box-type amplifier (amplifier) is connected to the box-type housing via a connection cord, and a chair-type sensation is provided to each output terminal for color change signal, sound signal, and vibration signal provided in the box-type amplifier. It describes matters to be connected to each input terminal of the visual stimulation actuator, sound actuator, and vibration actuator provided on the body.

Further, FIG. 4 of Patent Document 1 or FIG. 1 of Patent Document 2 shows an external sound source generating means of a box-shaped housing and a portable box-shaped housing (vibration driving device) separate from the external sound source generating means. And a box-type amplifier (amplifier) that is separate from the box-type housing is electrically connected via a connection cord.

Further, in FIG. 5 of Patent Document 3 or FIG. 2 of Patent Document 3, a specific configuration of an “electro-mechanical signal converter (hereinafter referred to as“ vibration actuator ”) called a transducer is shown as an application example ( It is described together with a chair-type sensory support.

Further, FIG. 1 of Patent Document 5 shows that in a drive device for a sensation actuator, a disk-type storage medium storing vibration data is placed in a housing of the drive device, or storage means accessed by a control means. A matter for storing sound and vibration data is described (paragraph 0023).

Therefore, in the driving device for the sensation actuator, the control means acquires and controls the color / sound / vibration signal from the external sound source or the internal sound source, and the control signal is used for the color (light) / sound (sound). It is a well-known matter to process with a signal processing circuit for vibration (processing circuit for each signal), and amplify and output the processed signal with an optical amplifier, a sound amplifier, and a vibration amplifier.

However, as is clear from the descriptions and drawings of Patent Documents 1 to 5, an external sound source generating means (for example, a CD player) or a box-shaped casing (vibration driving device) or a box-type amplifier (amplifier). Since each is a separate and independent casing, there are problems such as the need for an installation location and installation stand, and the need to connect each casing appropriately using multiple connection cords. . Further, when operating the operation unit of each box-type casing, for example, a box-type casing (vibration driving device), a box-type amplifier (amplifier), and the like are supported as shown in FIG. There is also a problem that the operation is troublesome because the box-type amplifier is placed below the seat part of the chair-type sensation support.

Furthermore, Patent Document 6 describes an oxygen enricher (oxygen concentrator). The configuration of the oxygen enricher includes a control unit, a suction pump that controls driving by the control unit and sucks air from the outside of the installation type housing, and a pressure pump from the suction pump. An oxygen concentrating means for generating oxygen-enriched air based on the air to be supplied, and for supplying the oxygen-enriched air generated by the oxygen concentrating means to the outside of the portable casing, And a tubular discharge means provided integrally on one side wall (which is non-removably connected).

The tubular discharge means discharges oxygen-enriched air from one free end of a headphone type, and an operation for instructing an input signal to the control means in the middle of the tubular discharge means Is provided.

By the way, although this installation type oxygen enricher has the advantage that it can be operated remotely, there is a problem that the oxygen concentrating means cannot be freely replaced. Therefore, at present, from a practical point of view, it is possible to replace the oxygen concentrating means, and by combining the oxygen enricher and the body acoustic device, an office chair that can further improve the relaxation effect. Appearance is desired.

The intended purpose of the present invention is to solve the problems of the installation location and connection cord and to obtain a relaxation effect while performing disk work. The second object is that the box-type casing does not get in the way of use, and the experienced person can operate the input unit (operation unit) of the box-type casing while sitting on the office chair.

In other words, it is to improve the convenience of operation. The third purpose is that maintenance such as repair and inspection is easy. A fourth purpose is to convert a general office chair into a “chair-type sensation support”. Furthermore, the fifth object is that the oxygen concentrating means can be exchanged from a practical viewpoint, and the relaxation effect can be further improved by combining the oxygen enricher and the body sensation acoustic device. It is to provide an office chair.
