Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to fordable deckchair, so called "rocker, chairs, and more particularly a safety and adjustment device for positioning the back of said chairs.
- The document DE-A-19857752 discloses a foldable chair, corresponding to the preamble of claim 1 and comprising a pair of front legs, a pair of rear legs which are pivotally connected to the top of the front legs and provided with arm-rests, a seat frame pivoted to an intermediate section of the front legs, a back frame pivotally connected to a rear part of the seat frame, and a cloth applied to the seat and back frames to constitute the seat and backrest, and wherein said back frame in movable at least between and upright position and a backwards reclined position.
- Said foldable chair further comprises a safety device that includes at least a locking means pivotally connected to the back frame and designed to engage with one crosspiece or indexing elements fixed to the seat rear legs. The locking means is provided with a control rod or lever which extends upwards to the level of the chair arm rest and has an end facing frontward on which a sitting person may act with an arm or an elbow in order to disengage the locking means from the crosspiece or indexing elements, thus modifying the position of the back frame.
- In such a construction, the back frame finds a stable support on the crosspiece or indexing elements when it is in position for use, but may, however, be accidentally tipped forward, onto the seat frame, which is not admissible for safety purposes of the chair.
- Also the document US-A-2 696 862 discloses a structure of a foldable chair having a back supporting unit which engages with notched plates fixed to rear legs to vary the inclination of the back frame. But, this structure of foldable chair does not disclose nor suggest the presence of safety members suitable to prevent the back frame may be accidentally tipped up to the seat frame, too.
- The object of the present invention is to obviate the disadvantage of the prior art and provide a chair with a safety and adjustment device which may be controlled with an elbow and prevents the backrest from tipping forward up to the seat when it is in position for use.
- The object is achieved by a safety and adjustment device for a chair according to the characterising part of claim 1.
- wherein:
- Figs. 1 and 2 show a perspective view and a side view, respectively, of a chair in position for use and complete with a safety device; and
- Fig. 3 shows a detailed view of the safety device.
-
- The said designs show a so-called "rocker" chair including, in the known construction, a pair of
fore legs 11; a pair ofback legs 12 convergent and hinged to the top of thefore legs 11 and having each an extension forming the arm-rests 13; aseat frame 14 hinged to an intermediate section of thefore legs 11; abackrest frame 15 hinged to the back part of theseat frame 14; and acloth 16 applied to theframes - The chair structure according to this configuration is foldable to reduce the volume when not in use, and when it is unfolded for use the
backrest frame 15 may be positioned and locked in at least two extreme positions: an upright position for the use of the structure as a chair, and a backwards reclined position for use as a lie-down. Thebackrest frame 15 may also be locked in one or more intermediate positions between the said extreme positions. - A crosspiece or
element 17 is fixed to theback legs 12 and alocking device 19 intended to be engaged with saidcrosspiece 17 so as to constitute the safety and positioning device is hinged, in 18, to least one side arm of thebackrest frame 15. In particular, thelocking device 19 comprises arod 20 having a side bearing locking teeth configured to engage with thecrosspiece 17 thus blocking thebackrest 15 in upright position and in one or more other backwards reclined positions. The figures illustrate, as an example, alocking device 19 with threeteeth 21 to define, in addition to the extreme positions, upright and reclined backwards, an intermediate position. At its lower end therod 20 is provided with ahook 22 intended to intercept from the bottom upwards the crosspiece orelement 17 so as to prevent the backrest from accidentally tipping forward. - The upper end of the
rod 20, above thehinging point 18 with the backrest frame, is bent forward horizontally so as to form alever 23 to allow the user to operate thelocking device 19 with an elbow, while remaining sitting on the chair. - In practice it is possible to disengage the
locking device 19 from thecrosspiece 17 in order to change inclination of the backrest or to free theend hook 21 from the crosspiece or element for a voluntary folding of the chair by just pushing thelever 23 downwards. - The locking rod, furthermore, may be provided with two
pins 24 jutting transversally one from the external side of the rod and the other from the internal side, intended to intercept respectively aback leg 12 of the chair and the side arm of the backrest frame on which the rod is hinged, thus maintaining thelocking device 19 in position for use even when it is free to rock. - Finally, it should be noted that the deckchair may be provided, if necessary, with two
locking devices 19, one for each side of thebackrest 15, connected to each other by a crosspiece for simultaneous movement thereof.
