Description
A CHAIR FOR BARBERS OR HAIRDRESSERS TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION :
The present invention relates to a chair to be used in barber's and hairdresser's shops.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Barbers and hairdressers require standing for long period while hairdressing or hair cutting. Standing on a hard concrete floor for long periods puts undue stress on their feet, knees, and back. A recent study showed that around 70% of hairdressers reported pain after standing for long periods and that the pain may cause Varicose Veins. Hence there is a need for a chair that allows barbers and hairdressers to sit while carrying out their work. There are various types of wheel chairs available in the market used by various professionals such as architects, dentists, office employees. Further, there are chairs available in the market including patent domain particularly designed for hairdressers and barbers.
There are also patents and patent applications such as US Patent 2,252137, recent WIPO Publication WO 2009/056894 that provides auxiliary seats for barbers that is rotatably connected to the barber chair.
However, also these seats are cumbersome, consume more floor space and use wheels for rotation. This results in increment of distance between the hairdresser's chair and the customer's seat when the later moves it to the front, back, right or left. As a result, the hairdresser cannot perform his work properly. Further, the hair fallen on the floor continuously entangles in the wheels, thereby making it very difficult to rotate the barber's seat. Moreover, over the period, the chairs become noisy when they are moved on the floor especially when the flooring has small defects like the point that the tiles join and slanting surface of floor.
Further, there are patents or patent applications such as US2440644, US2542653, US2678086 are available that provide auxiliary seats for barber chairs. However, they are directly adapted to the hydraulic shaft as an attachment by using a ring connected to the stationary part of the hydraulic system of the chair. Hence, these auxiliary seats are not durable. Further, it creates problem to operate hydraulic system of the chair and proper maintenance of the chair also. Moreover, it does not move freely, thereby restricting the barbers from working flexibly.
Hence, there is a need of a chair that solves at least one of the problems described above.
