Definitions
- the present invention relates to a multi-function and multi-position chair, automatically transformable under the action of a jack into any intermediate position between a fully extended position and a vertical station position for the user, of the type comprising a backrest, a seat and a footrest, the movements of movement from one position to another being ensured by a linkage connecting the different elements together which forms a plurality of chains respectively of the backrest, the seat and the rest feet.
- a chair of this type has already been the subject, for example, but not limited to, of patent application EP 0183630.
- the object of the present invention is to remedy this while retaining the practicality of use of the previous embodiment.
- this result is obtained with a multi-function and multi-position chair, automatically transformable under the action of a jack into any intermediate position between a fully extended position and a vertical station position for the user.
- a multi-function and multi-position chair automatically transformable under the action of a jack into any intermediate position between a fully extended position and a vertical station position for the user.
- a linkage connecting the different elements together which forms a plurality of kinematic chains sequentially ensuring the different movements respectively the backrest, the seat and the footrest, characterized in that it comprises respectively: - a footrest control assembly;
- a control assembly for the backrest position mechanism and for maintaining said backrest in a vertical position acting on a subframe complementary to said seat, the footrest can be completely retracted in the intermediate sitting and vertical position, and coming into the extension of the seat and backrest in a horizontal position.
- FIG. 1 is a view in a fully extended position
- FIG. 1 is an intermediate view between the lying position and the sitting position
- FIG. 3 is a subsequent intermediate view between the lying position and the sitting position
- FIG. 4 is a view in a seated position
- the chair according to the invention essentially consists of:
- FIGS. 5A and 5B These various elements are more particularly visible in FIGS. 5A and 5B.
- the cylinder is controlled by a control box actuated by the user, or a third party, and ensures all of the different movements.
- the footrest control mechanism consists essentially of two links (12,13) and a spring (14).
- the links (12,13) are hinged together at a point (15). Furthermore, the footrest receiving link (12) is articulated at (17) on the frame (16) forming the footrest (4) while at its other end, the footrest control link (13) is articulated at (18) on a projection (19) secured to a central connecting rod (20).
- the seat control mechanism (2) essentially consists of three links (25,26,27) articulated at a central point (28) and which are at their other ends articulated respectively: - the reception link (25) on the seat at the front axis (28) of the seat;
- the mechanism for controlling the positioning of the backrest and keeping the backrest in an upright position essentially consists of:
- the central connecting rod (20) is articulated at one of its ends (31) on the frame (5) and at its other end at a point (32) with the two connecting rods (29,30).
- the link (29) is articulated at (33) on the subframe (3).
- the link (30) is articulated at (34) on the rear spar (24) of the backrest.
- the subframe (3) comprises a mechanical stop (35) disposed substantially perpendicular thereto and which comes into abutment, from the seated position to the lying position against a horizontal beam (36) of the frame.
- the spring (14) which keeps the footrest in the deployed position is transformed, from the position of maximum extension of the slide into a rigid link.
