Description

흔들의자 {Swing chair}Rocking Chair {Swing chair}

본고안은 공원이나 산책로 등에 설치하는 벤치용 흔들의자에 관한것으로 일반적인 고정형벤치를 흔들의자의 기능을 갖도록 개량하되 흔들의자의 좌석판에 앉은 사람의 앞,뒤 흔들림이 머리쪽 보다는 엉덩이쪽이 주로 흔들리도록 설계를 하므로써 흔들의자에 앉은 이용자가 편안한 감을 느껴서 안정된 자세를 유지토록 함에 목적이 있는 것이다.This study relates to bench rocking chairs installed in parks and walkways. The general fixed bench is designed to function as a rocking chair, but the front and rear swings of the person sitting on the seat of the rocking chair are mainly shaken by the hips rather than the head. The purpose is to maintain a stable posture by the user sitting on the rocking chair by feeling comfortable.

일반적으로 공원이나 산책로 등에 설치되는 벤치용 의자는 상체프레임과 하체프레임이 일체고정형으로 형성되어 있고, 따라서 상체프레임의 등판프레임과 좌판프레임에는 여러조각의 목판이 고정되어 일체고정형의 의자를 형성하고 있으므로 본고안은 종래의 일체형인 벤치를 개량하여 벤치용 흔들의자를 제공함에 목적이 있다.In general, a bench chair installed in a park or a promenade has an upper body frame and a lower body frame formed in one body. Therefore, several pieces of wooden boards are fixed to the back frame and the seat frame of the upper body frame to form an integrated fixed chair. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a bench rocking chair by improving a conventional one-piece bench.

본고안은 벤치용 의자를 앞,뒤로 흔들리는 흔들의자를 형성하되, 의자의 상부좌석대가 하부받침대에서 앞,뒤로 흔들리는 정도를 좌석판에 앉은 사람의 머리쪽 보다 엉덩이쪽이 주로 흔들리게 구성하므로써 의자에 앉은 사람이 편안하고 안정된 자세를 유지하여 편히 쉴 수 있도록 한 것이다.This proposal forms a rocking chair that swings the bench chair back and forth, but the upper seat of the chair swings forward and backward from the lower base so that the hips are more shaken than the head of the person sitting on the seat plate. The seated person is to maintain a comfortable and stable posture to relax.

벤치용 의자를 앞,뒤로 흔들리는 흔들의자로 개량한 것이다.The bench chair is an improved rocking chair that swings back and forth.

본고안은 앞,뒤로 흔들리는 흔들의자의 상부좌석대가 앞,뒤로 흔들릴때 좌석판에 앉은 사람이 머리쪽 보다 엉덩이쪽이 주로 흔들리도록 설계되었으므로 흔들의자에 앉은 사람이 편안하고 안정된 자세를 유지하는 안정감과 흔들림을 느끼면서 쉴 수 있는 효과가 있다.This seat is designed so that when the upper seat of the rocking chair swinging forward and backward swings forward and backward, the person sitting on the seat swings the hip side more than the head side, so the person sitting on the rocking chair maintains a comfortable and stable posture The effect is to relax while feeling the shaking.

본 고안의 흔들의자(1)는, 도 1 내지 도 6에 도시된 바와 같이, 철재로 되는 상부좌석대(2)(2a)를 하부받침대(3)(3a) 위에서 앞,뒤로 흔들리게 구성하되, 상부좌석대(2)(2a)에는 상부프레임(4)(4a)의 하단중앙부 앞쪽(4b)과 뒷쪽(4c)에 로울러끼움홈(5)(5a)이 하면에서 상향으로 뚫렸으며, 그 로울러끼움홈(5)(5a)을 관통하여 로울러축끼움구멍(6)(6a)이 뚫려서 링(ring)형의 로울러(7)(7a)가 로울러끼움홈(5)(5a)내에 위치하도록 로울러축(8)(8a)과 너트(9)(9a)로 끼워고정되고, 하부받침대(3)(3a)의 상단에는 "

Figure 112011037034878-utm00003
" 형)의 레일구멍(11)(11a)이 뚫려 상부프레임(4)(4a) 하단부에 축설되는 로울러(7)(7a)가 레일구멍(11)(11a)에 끼워지도록 상호 결합구성되는데 레일구멍(11)(11a)의 원호면을 따라 이동하는 로울러(7)(7a)는 좌석판(16)에 앉은 사람의 머리를 중심으로 머리쪽 보다 엉덩이쪽이 주로 흔들리게 설계가 되어 구성되었다. 그리고, 상부프레임(4)(4a)의 등받이프레임부(12)(12a)와 좌석프레임부(13)(13a)에는 단면이 "I" 형인 요입부(14)(14a)에 등받이판(15)과 좌석판(16)을 여러 개 횡으로 끼워 옆에서 나사못(17)으로 조여 붙이므로써 등받이판(15)과 좌석판(16)이 상부좌석대(2)(2a)의 양쪽 상부프레임(4)(4a) 사이에서 당겨 조여지면서 튼튼하게 결합되도록 구성하여서 된 것이다.
다시 설명하면, 본 고안의 흔들의자(1)는, 사용자가 앉는 자리를 형성하는 상부좌석대(2)(2a); 상기 상부좌석대(2)(2a)의 하부에서 상기 상부좌석대(2)(2a)를 지지하되 상기 상부좌석대(2)(2a)를 앞,뒤로 흔들리도록 하는 하부받침대(3)(3a); 상기 상부좌석대(2)(2a)의 상부프레임(4)(4a) 하단중앙부 앞쪽(4b)과 뒷쪽(4c)에 뚫리게 가공된 로울러끼움홈(5)(5a); 및 상기 상부좌석대(2)(2a)가 앞,뒤로 흔들릴 때 상기 흔들의자(1)에 앉은 사람이 머리쪽 보다 엉덩이쪽이 상대적으로 더 흔들릴 수 있도록, 상기 로울러끼움홈(5)(5a) 내에 축설되되 상기 하부받침대(3)(3a) 상단의 레일편(10) 중앙부 앞쪽(10a)과 뒷쪽(10b)에 뚫린 레일구멍(11)(11a)에 끼워지면서 결합되는 로울러(7)(7a)를 포함하고 있다. 그리고 상기 상부프레임(4)(4a)의 등받이프레임부(12)(12a)와 좌석프레임부(13)(13a)에는 단면이 "I" 형인 요입부(14)(14a)에 등받이판(15)과 좌석판(16)을 여러 개 횡으로 끼워 옆에서 나사못(17)으로 조여 붙임으로써 상기 등받이판(15)과 상기 좌석판(16)이 상기 상부좌석대(2)(2a)의 양쪽 상기 상부프레임(4)(4a) 사이에서 당겨 조여지면서 결합되도록 하고 있다.The rocking chair 1 of the present invention, as shown in Figures 1 to 6, is configured to swing back and forth on the lower pedestal (3) (3a) made of steel In the upper seat (2) and (2a), the roller fitting grooves (5) and (5a) were drilled upward from the lower surface in the front (4b) and the rear (4c) of the lower center of the upper frame (4) (4a). The roller shaft fitting holes 6 and 6a are penetrated through the roller fitting grooves 5 and 5a so that the ring-shaped rollers 7 and 7a are located in the roller fitting grooves 5 and 5a. It is fitted with roller shafts (8) (8a) and nuts (9) (9a), and at the top of the lower support (3) (3a)
Figure 112011037034878-utm00002
"Rail piece 10 of the shape is formed, and the arc part (") in the front part 10a and back part 10b of the rail piece 10 is formed.
Figure 112011037034878-utm00003
The rails 11 and 11a of the "type" are drilled to be arranged at the lower end of the upper frame 4 and 4a so that the rollers 7 and 7a are fitted to the rail holes 11 and 11a. The rollers 7 and 7a moving along the arc surface of the holes 11 and 11a are designed so that the hips are mainly shaken from the head side with respect to the head of the person sitting on the seat plate 16. In addition, the backrest frame portions 12, 12a and the seat frame portions 13, 13a of the upper frames 4, 4a have a back plate 15 in the recessed portions 14, 14a having an "I" cross section. ) And the seat plate (16) in the transverse direction by fastening with screws 17 on the side, the back plate (15) and the seat plate (16) is the upper frame (2) (2a) of both upper frames (4) It is designed to be firmly coupled while being pulled and tightened between the (4a).
In other words, the rocking chair 1 of the present invention comprises: an upper seating table 2, 2a forming a seating position of a user; Lower pedestal (3) (3a) to support the upper seat (2) (2a) in the lower portion of the upper seat (2) (2a) to shake the upper seat (2) (2a) forward and backward ); Roller fitting grooves (5) (5a) formed to be drilled in the front (4b) and the rear (4c) of the lower center of the upper frame (4) (4a) of the upper seat (2) (2a); And the roller fitting groove (5) (5a) so that the person sitting on the rocking chair (1) can shake the hip side relatively more than the head side when the upper seat (2) (2a) shakes back and forth. Rollers (7) (7a) which are installed inside and fitted into rail holes (11) (11a) drilled in the front (10a) and rear (10b) centers of the rail pieces (10) at the top of the lower support (3) (3a). ) Is included. The backrest frame portions 12, 12a and the seat frame portions 13, 13a of the upper frames 4, 4a have a back plate 15 in the recessed portions 14, 14a having an "I" cross section. The back plate 15 and the seat plate 16 on both sides of the upper seat table 2 and 2a by inserting a plurality of seat plates 16 laterally and tightening them with screws 17 from the side. The upper frame (4) (4a) is pulled between the tightening to be coupled.

도면 중 미설명부호 18은 상부좌석대(2)(2a)가 하부받침대(3)(3a)에서 흔들릴때 그 흔들림을 보여 주는 모양표시부이며, 19는 하부받침대(3)(3a)의 고정막대이고, 20, 20a는 팔걸이 이다.In the figure, reference numeral 18 is a shape indicator showing the shaking when the upper seat (2) (2a) is shaken from the lower support (3) (3a), 19 is a fixed rod of the lower support (3) (3a) And 20, 20a are armrests.

이와 같이 본고안은 상부프레임(4)(4a) 의 하단에 축설된 로울러(7)(7a)가 원호형인 레일구멍(11)(11a)을 따라 앞,뒤로 이동할때 상부좌석대(2)(2a)가 앞,뒤로 흔들림이 상부보다 하단부가 주로 흔들리므로 좌석판(16)에 앉은사람은 머리쪽 보다 엉덩이쪽이 주로 흔들려서 흔들의자(1)에 앉은 사람이 편안하고 안정된 자세를 유지하는 안정감을 느끼면서 쉴 수 있다.In this way, the upper seat (2) (when the rollers (7) (7a) arranged on the lower end of the upper frame (4) (4a) moves forward and backward along the arcuate rail holes (11) (11a). 2a) is shaken forward and backward, because the lower part is mainly shaken than the upper part, the person sitting on the seat plate 16 is mainly shaken by the hip side than the head side, so that the person sitting on the rocking chair 1 maintains a comfortable and stable posture. You can relax while feeling.
