Abstract:
The invention concerns a seat forming a rigid sitting surface (8) and a backrest frame (1) globally oriented in intersecting directions in a crossover area situated towards the rear of the rigid sitting surface, characterized in that it includes a flexible sheet (3), in that the backrest frame includes a device (7) for suspension of said flexible sheet, disposed higher than the rigid sitting surface, in that said flexible sheet includes a transition panel (18) extending between the suspension device and an intersection area (9) globally in front of the suspension device, so that said transition panel serves as a rear sitting surface portion and a bottom backrest portion.
Abstract:
A backpost for use in wooden dining chair. The backpost unit provides reclining movements for a wooden chair of the type having a stationary frame section within which the backpost unit is secured. The backpost unit consists of an interlocking mechanism with minimum components and requires minimum maintenance and provides a solid and reliable reclining mechanism. The chair enables the user to secure an accurate posture of sitting during eating and also enables the user to enjoy a relaxing posture while sitting on the same dining chair.
Abstract:
A resting furniture which includes an adjustable unit and a support frame; the adjustable unit includes several members that are connected with each other by joint means and by a support installation, whereby the members are held in position at the support installation by means of fixing mechanisms.
Abstract:
A seating arrangement includes a base support, a support arrangement movable between upright and reclined positions, and a spring arrangement that includes a first portion attached to the support arrangement, a second portion attached to the base support, an intermediate portion positioned between the first and second positions, first and second members configured to bias the support arrangement from the reclined position toward the upright position, the second spring member spaced from the first spring member, and an adjustment member positioned between the first and intermediate portions, the adjustment member adjustable between positions that adjust the force exerted by the first and second spring on the support arrangement.
Abstract:
A progressively curved lumbar support located within the back of an office or home chair to enable a user to be seated close to a work surface (e.g., a desk or a table). The chair back tilts backwards and forwards when the user shifts his weight back and forth. The lumbar support includes a cushion back support manufactured from a resilient material that is responsive to a compressive force applied thereto when the user reclines against the chair back. In particular, a tilt pressure-responsive rod rides up and down over a pair of inclined guide blocks to cause the cushion back support to change its shape from a convex configuration at which to support the user's lower back and maintain a proper posture when the user sits erect and the chair back stands upright to a relatively flattened configuration when the chair back tilts backwards.
Abstract:
An adjustable chair structure comprises a support frame of substantially L-shape conformation supported by a base in the form of an upright column supported on a set of radial feet carried on castors. The L-shape support frame has a horizontal arm for supporting a seat part of a seat body, and an upright (i.e. vertical or inclined at an acute angle to the vertical) arm which supports a seat back part of the seat body. The seat part is connected to the seat back part by means of a flexible tongue projecting from the middle of the rear edge of the seat part of the seat body, which tongue has notches by which the position of the seat back with respect to the seat part can be determined.
Abstract:
The chair has a back rest provided with stiffening means which impart to the back rest a substantially stiff form up to about the level of the sixth lumbar vertebra of the chair occupant, thus ensuring a continuous transition from the chair seat to the back rest, but allow the back rest an increasingly greater flexibility from said level upwards with the result that the upper part of the back rest bends backwards when the occupant leans back, further characterized in that the upper end of the back rest is joined to the shoulder rest via a bracing corrugation in order to ensure that the chair profile in the region of the occupant's shoulder is a smooth curve matching that of the occupant's spine.
