Definitions

  • the invention relates to a spit and/or noise protection device for attachment to a chair.
  • Spit protection devices that are fixedly or removably attachable to serving counters, especially for unpackaged foods, have been known for some time.
  • the reference US2006175940A1 shows such a device.
  • Spit protection devices worn on a person's head are also known, e.g. the devices known under the term "hygienic mask", which are made of non-woven, cellulose, or textile materials and cover one's mouth and nose, as shown in W00074509A1 , or transparent shields worn on one's head at a distance in front of the face, as e.g. shown in USD321268S.
  • hygienic masks cover a large area of the person's face and therefore their facial expression and lip movements cannot be seen while the person is speaking. Also, for wearers of glasses, fogging of the eyeglasses is a frequently observed problem. Persons having skin problems or sensitive skin often experience acne or allergic reactions. For persons suffering from respiratory problems or who are sensitive to phobias, the masks are constricting and can aggravate the problem. It is also known that wearing hygienic masks for several hours is negative as a part of the exhaled carbon dioxide is again inhaled. This may lead to fatigue, dizziness, etc. The transparent devices worn at a distance in front of the face may hinder the person, especially when making phone calls.
  • the protective device Due to the fact that the protective device is attached to a chair while in use, it allows the user extensive freedom of movement and still prevents co-workers, documents, work surfaces or keyboards from being contaminated by droplets emitted while speaking or sneezing.
  • the protective device also reduces the cleaning expenditure in the work environment.
  • the protective shield can be designed in such a way that the user's surroundings are less disturbed, especially by telephone calls made by the user.
  • Figure 1 a detail of the protective device
  • Figure 2 a first embodiment for attachment to the top of the backrest of a chair
  • Figure 3 a second embodiment for attachment to the side of the backrest of a chair;
  • Figure 4 a top view of the embodiment according to figure 3;
  • Figure 5 a third embodiment for attachment to the headrest of a chair
  • Figure 6 a top view of the embodiment according to figure 5;
  • Figure 7 a fourth embodiment for attachment by means of a coupling device provided in the backrest of a chair
  • Figure 8 a fifth embodiment for attachment to an armrest of a chair
  • Figure 9 a sixth embodiment for attachment to a chair without back and side rests.
  • Figure 1 shows a part of the protective device with components that are the same in all the embodiments described below.
  • the protective device is attached to a chair in such a way that a protective shield 1 can be positioned in front of the face of a person sitting on the chair.
  • Protective shield 1 may be flat or curved and may have a size of e.g. 30 by 20 centimeters.
  • Figures 4 and 6 show a unidirectionally curved protective shield 1 .
  • protective shield 1 may also be curved about two axes so that it has a bowl-shaped form that is concave as viewed from the person. It can be made of a transparent or sound-absorbing material. Combinations are also possible, e.g. in that the shield has a transparent area in the center and is covered with a sound-absorbing material such as fleece or foam at its edges.
  • the sound-absorbing material may be attached in a replaceable manner, e.g. by means of a Velcro fastener.
  • Protective shield 1 is held at one of its edges by means of a holder 2 to which a ball joint 3 is attached.
  • a ball joint 3 allows the angle of protective shield 1 to be adjusted about an approximately horizontal axis, as indicated by the curved arrow, and on the other hand, ball joint 3 also allows protective shield 1 to be swung away from the person's face when he or she wants to lean forward, e.g. while standing up from a chair.
  • Ball joint 3 is supported by a relatively short arm 4 which in turn is fastened to a longer boom 6 by means of a joint 5 and in use extends over one shoulder of the person sitting on the chair.
  • boom 6 is mounted so as to extend over the shoulder of a person sitting on the chair on the left side.
  • Boom 6 is adjustable in length, as indicated by the double arrow. To this end, it may e.g. consist of two concentric, telescopically adjustable tubes. Boom 6 is held by means of a further joint 7 on a substantially vertically oriented support 8 so as to be able to pivot about an approximately vertical axis. Joint 7 allows protective shield 1 together with parts 2 to 6 to be swung away laterally, e.g. when the person sitting on the chair wants to stand up. Support 8 is also adjustable in length, and further details of support 8 will be discussed in more detail below in connection with the various embodiments. By means of joints 3, 5, and 7 as well as length-adjustable boom 6, the position of protective shield 1 in front of the person's face can be adjusted as desired.
  • FIG 2 shows a mobile work chair equipped with a backrest, with a person sitting thereon and a protective device mounted on the chair. It is understood that the protective device is also suitable for non-mobile chairs.
  • a retaining part 9 is arranged which has the shape of a downwardly open U and carries support 8, which in this case is made relatively short as compared to the embodiments according to Figures 3, 4, 7, and 8.
  • Retaining part 9 may have resilient or plastically deformable legs so that it is attached to the top of the backrest by clamping.
  • retaining part 9 may be designed as a clamping device having rigid legs and a clamping screw. Retaining part 9 is either made relatively wide, so that the protective device cannot tilt about an axis parallel to the boom, or two retaining parts are provided with a connecting part (not shown) extending between them.
  • FIGs 3 and 4 a further embodiment of the protective device is illustrated.
  • the protective device is again attached to the backrest of a chair.
  • two retaining parts 10 are provided which are clamped to the backrest from two sides.
  • the two retaining parts 10 are connected to each other by a length-adjustable connecting part 11 , thereby allowing an adjustment to the width of the backrest.
  • a respective joint 12 is arranged between each of the retaining parts 10 and connecting part 11 so that the protective device can further be adapted to the curvature of the backrest.
  • the embodiment according to Figures 5 and 6 is intended for chairs having a headrest.
  • two opposing retaining parts 10 are provided, which partially enclose the rods supporting the headrest.
  • the protective device can thus be fixed to the back of the headrest.
  • a click fastening device 13 is arranged at the lower end of support 8, which is adapted to a corresponding counterpart on the backrest of a chair.
  • the counterpart may also be provided at the back of the backrest, preferably in the middle between the lateral edges of the backrest.
  • the advantage of attaching the protective device to the backrest of a chair according to Figures 2 to 7 is that the protective device is moved along when the angle of inclination of the backrest is adjusted and the relative position in front of the person's face is maintained.
  • Figure 8 shows an embodiment where an angled support extension 8.1 is provided on support 8, which extension can be adjustable in length.
  • a clamping device 14 is attached by means of which the protective device can be fixed to the armrest of a chair.
  • the angled support extension 8.1 allows the user to retain complete elbow freedom.
  • the embodiment according to in Figure 9 demonstrates that the protective device can also be attached to chairs having neither lateral armrests nor a backrest.
  • the angled support extension shown here is denoted by the numeral 8.2.
  • the mentioned joints 3, 5, and 7 can be either self-locking or equipped with locking means such as a set screw.

Abstract

Le dispositif de protection contre les postillons et/ou le bruit est destiné à être fixé à une chaise et comporte un écran de protection (1) destiné à être placé devant le visage d'une personne assise sur la chaise. Il est maintenu sur un bras (6) qui, à son tour, est agencé au niveau d'une première extrémité d'un support plus ou moins vertical (8). La seconde extrémité du support (8) est raccordée grâce à des moyens de fixation destinés à fixer le dispositif de protection contre les postillons et/ou le bruit à une chaise. Le dispositif de protection confère à l'utilisateur une grande liberté de mouvement et empêche néanmoins que des collègues, documents, surfaces de travail ou claviers ne soient contaminés par des gouttelettes lors de la parole et/ou d'éternuements et/ou que les collègues ne soient gênés d'un point de vue acoustique, par exemple par des conversations téléphoniques.
