Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a foldable chair assembly and a brace mechanism therefor. Specifically, the present invention relates to a foldable chair assembly including the brace mechanism.
  • Foldable chairs are typically made from light-weight materials such as tubular aluminium or steel and where the seat and back areas are covered by a lining. Linings are usually also light weight fabrics for example, canvas or plastics materials or blends thereof. Due to the very nature of the materials used in the manufacturing of foldable chairs, the tubing which goes to make up the skeletal structure of the chair is quite thin. Accordingly, when an adult is seated on the erected unfolded chair, there is a tendency for the upright support frame members of the back support area of chair to flex inward toward one another due to the weight or pressure applied by the seated adult resting on the back support area of the chair.
  • Another option available to a manufacturer is to increase the gauge of or composition of the tubing used.
  • increased thickness or using stronger materials for the upright support members comes at a cost wherein the gross weight of the chair is increased or the manufacturing costs and later the sale price of the chair has to increase to off-set the cost of the more expensive tubing involved.
  • Increased weight has a knock on effect of increases in transport freight costs. Further, weight increases impact on the end user as the chair is heavier to carry to the location in which it is to be used.
  • the above described conventional back support areas have not enhanced the comfort or supportability of the chair to the end user, as a user is not able to support their neck and head on the back support area without having to slouch in the chair.
  • the present invention seeks to provide an improved foldable chair assembly that provides at least one of additional stability, strength and rigidity to the foldable chair assembly without substantially increasing its weight or imparting additional thickness to its frame.
  • the present invention may also provide additional comfort to a user when seated on the foldable chair assembly in its opened or unfolded state.
  • One advantage offered by the present invention is the improved stability and strength gained by the back support area of the chair, as a result of the brace mechanism holding the back support members apart and thus lining at the back support area is more taut, which in turn provides greater support to the back of the user when seated and resting against the back support area lining.
  • the brace mechanism is operably connectable, preferably located adjacent to and links, the back support members of the foldable chair assembly to enable a user to operatively select the condition of the brace mechanism between the braced condition and relaxed condition.
  • the back support members are not purposefully being held apart and rely upon their own inherent strength to remain apart, when a user is seated on the chair assembly.
  • the back support area lining is more giving in that it is not held as tight or taut. The ability to select between the braced condition and the relaxed condition provides improved stability and comfort.
  • the brace mechanism may also include a locking mechanism which substantially prevents the brace mechanism from independently or accidentally moving from the upper, over-centre position (i.e., from the braced condition) to the central or lower, under-centre position, which is the relaxed condition, by virtue of increased tension to the back support members when a user sits on the foldable chair assembly, hi certain embodiments, the locking mechanism may be at least one assisted catch means which operates with, at least one releasable fixing means on each limb. Each releasable fixing means can interact with its corresponding or complimentary catch means on the hub to further help in holding the brace mechanism in the braced condition when the hub is moved to the upper, over-centre position.
  • a locking mechanism which substantially prevents the brace mechanism from independently or accidentally moving from the upper, over-centre position (i.e., from the braced condition) to the central or lower, under-centre position, which is the relaxed condition, by virtue of increased tension to the back support members when a user sits on the foldable
  • Each releasable fixing means is usually located towards the end on its limb that is pivotally attached to the hub.
  • the assisted catch means are openings/holes in the hub into which the releasable fixing means, preferably pressure-loaded or releasably urged pins can engage. By disengaging the pins from the openings in the hub, the brace mechanism can be placed into the relaxed condition.
  • the bracing mechanism includes two limbs which are pivotally connected to one another to form a pivotable mechanism. At least one of the limbs includes a catch means while the other limb includes a releasable fixing means.
  • both limbs include a catch means and a releasable fixing means.
  • the catch means and/or the releasable fixing means are positioned towards the proximal or free end of the or each limb.
  • the releasable fixing means is at or adjacent the proximal or free end of the or both limbs.
  • the catch means being located away from the proximal or free end or preferably extends as a zone from behind the releasable fixing means partially back towards the distal end of the or each limb.
  • the catch means and/or releasable fixing means form a detachably connectable zone on the or each limb.
  • the pivot point of the brace mechanism is preferably located closer to the proximal or free end of the or each limb and within the detachably connectable zones.
  • each limb has a catch means and a releasable fixing means
  • the catch means on one limb is adapted to co-operate with the releasable fixing means on the other limb, while the releasable fixing means of the one limb co-operates with the catch means of the other limb.
  • the brace mechanism is in the braced condition.
  • the brace mechanism is placed into its relaxed condition. Therefore, the user is able to operably select the condition of the brace mechanism between the braced condition and the relaxed condition.
  • the catch means comprises a complimentary shaped receiving channel oi recess formed in the body of the or each limb. More preferably, the catch means is formed by inwardly collapsing, squeezin or pinching a portion of a wall of the or each limb along its longitudinal axis to form a channel or recess that is suitably sized to substantially retain or accommodate the releasable fixing means, whilst the releasable fixing means is formed at or adjacent to the proximal or free end of the body of the limb.
  • the brace mechanism is operably connectable to the back support member by a pivotable mechanism. Preferably, the pivotable mechanism can be established by fastening the distal end of a limb to connection means on the back support member.
  • connection means is in the form of a stirrup or bracket which itself can be either integral or fixable to the back support member.
  • the stirrup or bracket can be fastened to the back support member by fastening means such as through a screw, nut and bolt, rivet or permanently fastened by welding it to the back support member.
  • the stirrup or bracket may be mounted on a stepped bush to provide improved pivotal movement.

  • a portion of the surface area of the back support member is substantially flat in order to allow increased surface area contact between the distal end of the or each limb and the back support member pivotally connected thereto.
  • the distal end of the or each limb is substantially flat to maximise the contact area between the limb and the back support member.
  • the brace mechanism can be a unitary member capable of holding the back support members apart.
  • a distal end of the unitary member is preferably pivotally connected to one of the back support members whilst the proximal end is removably connectable to the other back support member.
  • One advantage provided by incorporating a unitary member is the requirement for fewer parts to form a brace mechanism compared to a brace mechanism formed from two limbs with or without a hub.
  • each end of the unitary member is connected to a respective back support member to substantially hold the back support members apart when a user is seated in the chair.
  • the unitary member can be pivoted at its distal end so that it substantially aligns with the back support member to which it is connected to enable the foldable chair assembly to be folded.
  • the foldable chair assembly includes two back support members orientated substantially parallel to each other and in a substantially vertical orientation relative to the surface upon which the assembly in its unfolded state will stand.
  • the foldable chair assembly includes two back support members orientated slightly away from each other.
  • at least a part of each of the two back support members is substantially angled outwardly.
  • the back support members when view from behind or from the front have the general appearance of a "winged-back"-type back section.
  • Such an embodiment provides a greater back support area to the chair and thus offers improved protection and comfort to the user.
  • Each back support member is connected to a foldable frame of the foldable chair assembly. While the frame and thus the back support members are preferably tubular in a more preferred form they are made of suitable sized and thickness hollow rods, pipe or tubing. More preferably, each back support member can include or have fixed to it an extension piece. These extension pieces act to increase the overall length of the back support members and thus the height of the top of the back support area. Through the extension pieces the height of the back support area can be higher than the top of the head of the user when seated in the chair. In this way, the shoulders, neck and even the head of the seated user is provided with better protection, for example, from wind when blowing from behind and/or direct sunlight from behind.
  • the extension pieces can be made telescopic relative to the back support member within which or over which they are located. In this way the user can decide to either withdraw or extend the back support members. Further, being telescopic, rather than separate pieces minimises the possibility of losing or inadvertently displacing the extension pieces relative to the remainder of the foldable chair assembly. Thus the extent to which the extension pieces can be withdrawn from within or over the support member in which they are located in or on can dictate the overall height of the chair assembly when unfolded. However, the height of the chair assembly when in its folded configuration and with the extension pieces being held substantially within the back support members, there is little, if any, difference in the length of the folded chair assembly compared to one which does not contain extension pieces.
  • a plurality of brace mechanisms may be present and co-operate with the back support members of the foldable chair assembly to improve at least one of stability, strength and overall rigidity when the brace mechanisms are in the braced ⁇ condition.
  • Each brace mechanism may be the same or different embodiments as herein described.
  • connecting the brace mechanism to the back support members of the foldable chair assembly does not substantially increase the number of manipulation steps required to assemble or fold the foldable chair assembly. Accordingly, the user of the foldable chair assembly is provided with at least one of increased stability, strength, rigidity and comfort without substantially increasing the number of manipulation steps required to assemble or fold the foldable chair assembly.

  • the connecting means is in the form of a connector plate that is adapted to connect the ends of adjacent support legs to allow pivotal movement of the support legs between the folded and opened states.
  • the support Jegs are connected to the connector plate by means of a fastener means, for example rivets, passing through apertures on the connector plate.
  • a fastener means for example rivets
  • each end of the support legs terminates in an aperture, which is aligned to a similarly shaped aperture on the connector plate. Once the apertures are aligned, the rivet is passed through the aligned apertures and the support legs are connected.
