Definitions
- the present invention regards an articulated structure to be used for providing armchairs, chairs, seats, wheelchairs for the disabled and other similar products, according to the general part of claim 1.
- the vertebral column is a bone structure, surrounded by muscles with the support function, having three curved positions:
- the vertebral column is made up of vertebrae, cylindrical-shaped bones, stacked on each other; between one vertebra and the other there are present the intervertebral discs, constituted by disc-shaped fibre-elastic structures, which serve as dampers and anti-friction elements and which, over time or due to erroneous postures of the body, tend to be compressed and deform causing pain, which at times may be extremely intense and long-lasting.
- the devices mentioned above and the other known and commonly used devices are configured as apparatus having poor ergonomics and which could cause distortive effects to the spinal cord over time.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a device, referring to an articulated structure, to be used for making armchairs, chairs, seats, wheelchairs and the like free of the drawbacks revealed by the similar products of the known type.
- an object of the invention is to provide a device capable of facilitating a resting person, in the "overturned N" position ", capable of allowing the extension of the muscles and of the connected tendons, helping spacing the vertebrae and soothing the intervertebral discs, the entirety respecting the morphology of each person in seated position.
- Such objects are attained by providing a structure which allows the seated person to assume an ergonomic position and which is made up of a lumbar support, having the shape of the lumbar lordosis and moveable vertically, a tilting seat, inclinable with an angle below 90° with respect to the backrest, a footrest for conferring to the knee an acute angle and an under-armpit support which, exiting in the front part of the backrest, has the function of supporting the seated body on a seat assuming an angle below 90° and which may reach up to 30°. Furthermore, the under-armpits protrusions are moveable so as to be able to fit and pass beneath the armpits of the person who remains seated, with the waist having an inclination below 45°.
- figs 1 -2 represent two possible configurations of the articulated structure according to the invention, for conferring to the seated person two different "overturned N" positions;
- - fig 3 represents the exploded view of the structure according to the invention.
- - figs 4-5 represent the front views, respectively, of the entire structure according to the invention and of the backrest thereof alone;
- - figs 6-7 represent the conditions of a person normally seated or rising on the structure according to the invention.
- the articulated structure according to the invention allows the seated person to assume at least two different "overturned N" configurations and in particular more closed, when there is required a considerable tension of the vertebral column or more open, when there is required a rest position; said two configurations are made possible, after the seat 2 and the backrest 3 are suitably inclined, mutually connected through the base frame 4, solely modifying the support of the feet respectively on an upper step 5 or on a footrest 6, so as too vary the angle "a" of the knees and the angle " ⁇ " of the waist.
- the articulated structure 1 is also provided with a cushion or lumbar support 7, moveable vertically on the backrest 3 and sufficiently compact for maintaining the shape and the adherence of the lumbar lordosis.
- the under-armpit supports 8, constituted, for example, by two iron bars, covered using a soft and non-allergic material exiting from the backrest, are provided so as to be able to correctly fit and passing beneath the armpits of the seated person, with the waist having an inclination below 45°, i.e. so as to be able to best adapt to the physical configuration of the user; they can be adjusted in the two spatial directions, through the insertion thereof in one of the holes 9 of the series obtained on the backrest 3.
- the framework 1 is completed with a cushion 10, or cervical support, moveable vertically, which serves as support for the head and the over-shoulder.
- the articulated structure 1 substantially constituted by a chair, has at the beginning a closed seat and a 90° angle between the seat 2 and backrest 3;
- the two under-armpit supports 3 are inserted in the holes 9 present on the backrest 3; - the person sits and, supported by the two under-armpit supports, adjusts the tilting seat so that, lowering the waist and, simultaneously with the support action of the aforementioned under-armpit supports, the back is tensioned, so that the muscles extend and sooth the dorsal and lumbar intervertebral discs;
- the seat and the backrest are hinged through the pins, respectively 1 1 and 12, to the base frame 4, this allowing the aforementioned structure also to serve as a normal chair (seat and backrest at 90°) or , with the forward inclination of the seat, facilitating the sitting or rising, in particular for persons with mobility problems.

Abstract
Cette invention concerne une structure articulée utilisée pour fabriquer des fauteuils, des chaises, des sièges, des fauteuils roulants pour handicapés et autres produits similaires. Cette structure vise à supprimer la tension entre les vertèbres lombaires et les vertèbres dorsales. Elle permet à l'occupant du siège de prendre la position d'un « N » renversé, ce qui permet l'étirement des muscles, des tendons et des vertèbres et soulage les disques intervertébraux. Cette structure est ergonomique et respecte la morphologie de chacun des occupants. Elle est caractérisée par un support lombaire (7) ayant la forme de la lordose lombaire et modulable verticalement, une assise inclinable (2), l'inclinaison étant inférieure à 90° par rapport au dossier (3), et une marche/un repose-pieds (5) permettant aux genoux de former un angle inférieur à 90°.
