Abstract

A chair of the tilting type which includes a base, a seat and back, with the base pivotally supporting the seat with two parallel links of a four-bar parallel linkage, with one of the links extending to support the back. The four-bar linkage is duplicated on each side of the chair by forming the two opposite parallel links or cranks from the upturned ends of the tubes which pass through the base in parallel but vertically offset fashion, the base thus forming the fixed bar of the linkage with its opposite bar or coupler being formed by the seat. A spring within the base is operative on one (of both) of the tubes to urge the chair to an upright position. The tubes are pivotally connected to the seat and one of the tubes extends and is fixedly connected to the back. As the back tilts, the four-bar mechanism is engaged and lifts the seat which thereby uses the occupant's weight to counteract the reclining. Also disclosed is an adjustable armrest that can readily raised, or lowered, and optionally rotated in a horizontal plane. A further aspect of the present disclosure is a headrest that is pushed into place when the chair is reclined and retracted when the chair returns to an upright position.

Description of the invention () Background of the invention 1. Field of invention (please read the notes on the back before filling out this page) The present invention is generally related to the device used to support the user in the seat, and is implemented in the best In this example, it is a reclining chair. In another preferred embodiment, the present invention relates to a chair having an automatic adjustable armrest. In yet another preferred embodiment, the present invention relates to a chair having an automatically adjustable headrest. In yet another preferred embodiment, the present invention is directed to having roll resistance that automatically adjusts as the user's weight increases proportionally and when the roll angle increases. In yet another preferred embodiment, the chair has a tilt mechanism that can change the angle of the seat and its support, increase the angle of the chair at maximum tilt, and provide a forward tilt position. 2. The previous technical description The reclining chair is usually used in the office. Usually, the back of the chair is tilted alone, or the back of the chair and the seat are tilted in a unit, or the back of the chair can be tilted in proportion to the seat. If the seat back is tilted alone, it usually causes a problem, β 卩 "tuck the tail of the shirt". This problem is particularly noticeable when the reclining of the seat back is not coordinated with natural human movements. This problem can also be highlighted because the user's hips tend to slide forward when the back of the chair is tilted backwards. When the consumer cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs prints the seat back and the seat as a unit, the user's feet tend to be lifted from the floor in the tilted position, causing the front edge of the seat to rest under the user's feet Excessive pressure just above the lateral knee. To overcome this problem, the pivot point of the tilting action can be moved sufficiently forward, and the user's feet can be stopped on the floor. Unwanted effect of this configuration: The angle between the user's body and feet has not changed. As a result, this paper size applies the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 mm). 1235645 Printed by the Consumer Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs A7 __—_ B7___ 5. Description of the invention () The horizontal plane of the user's eyes shows an unexpected drop when the chair is tilted. In any reclining chair, it is desirable to position the tilt pivot point at the center of the body, or where the user's back often pivots (ie, through the axis of the user's hip joint). The pivot point of a reclining chair is usually displaced from the ideal pivot point. It is also desirable that the chair allows the angle between the user's body and feet to be opened so that the pressure of squeezing inside the body can be relieved. Of course, it is also desirable to provide a chair in which the user's feet can rest on the floor and the tilting motion is close to parallel to the natural human motion to avoid the problem of the usual shirt pull. It is also desirable to provide a chair that has a simplified structure and a concise, pleasing appearance that highlights the independent, separate appearance of the seat and back to the supporting frame. The applicant's earlier U.S. Patent No. 4,943,114 shows a solution to these problems. U.S. Patent No. 4,943,114 issued to Piretti discloses a chair with a small backrest link mechanism that allows the chair backrest and the seat to tilt. U.S. Patent No. 5,251,958 to Roer i.ch. et al. Discloses a chair with a synchronous adjustment device that uses the weight of the user to provide a restoring force, after the user has tilted the chair Can be restored to its upright position. U.S. Patent No. 5,486,035 granted to Koepke et al. Does not provide any illustrations. Lines 29-34 of the first paragraph of the specification state "here In the structure, the difficulty of tilting the chair, that is, the generation of tilting force, increases with the tilting of the chair, and the adjustment device is generally used to increase or decrease the paper size of the chair.

Matters before filling in (This page) 1235645 A7 B7 V. Description of the invention () Tilt tension, this kind of adjustment device changes the tension of the spring, or changes the tilt mechanism. " Although a chair with a chair arm is a conventional technique, so far, the chair arm is fixed or adjustable. If the chair arm is adjustable, any adjustment is not ideal and is very cumbersome. In addition, this conventional technique also includes a headrest leaning on a chair, including a reclining chair. However, this headrest usually provides little support to the user, i.e. the headrest still maintains its position relative to the back of the chair when the chair is tilted. Or, if the headrest provides a lot of support to the user, usually the headrest needs a very inconvenient adjustment. The rationale for thinking is that the backrest is tilted, and the market is adjusted. Although it is inclined, it's the right person. · Tune it again and again. It is divided into ten pieces and there is only one, so it ’s too important to use it. The external needs are annoying. The whole chair must be a week. Opposite messengers use special chairs to adjust the size of the body. The body must be unique, and the combination of the child's chair and the mechanics to adjust the body to adjust the body can be adjusted. Those who are appropriate should use whatever needs to be owed, for some reason. If you want to rectify it, you have to change your words.

明另外傾斜椅子之實施例通常有基座形成連桿組之固定桿 。此連桿組將後連桿之作動傳遞到前連桿之角度變化。 本發明一些可傾斜椅子有彈簧在基座中,它作用在連桿 組一根桿上,可迫使椅子到直立位置。此彈簧亦對平衡使用 者之傾斜力提供一些幫助。 本發明可傾斜椅子之椅子升起機構通常不爲使用者所注 意到,而且椅子升起亦不會讓使用者腳部離地。 本^明提供可傾斜椅子,其中椅背樞轉在理想樞轉點上樞 轉,而克服了先前技術椅子之襯衫尾部拉住及腳部升起之共 同問題。本發明提供一種椅子,其中椅座及椅背從基座由連 桿組機構所支持,使椅背傾斜時增加使用者軀體對腳部之角 度。 經濟部智慧財產局員工消費合作社印製 椅座及椅背之傾斜可由四連桿之連桿組達成。四連桿之 連桿組可爲平行或者非平行。本發明椅子一個實施例中,椅 座之每一側是由四連桿之連桿組之連桿所支持。椅子之基座 形成第二連桿。第三連桿延伸以支持椅背。第四連桿將基座 之前部連結到椅座之前部。 連桿組複製在椅子之每一側中。 連桿組之樞轉被設計成,使用者之體重可平衡椅座樞轉 本紙張尺度適用中國國家標準(CNS)A4規格(210 X 297公釐) 1235645 A7 B7 五、發明說明() (請先閱讀背面之注意事項再填寫本頁) ,並且基座中之彈簧作用在連桿組之一個連桿上,以迫使椅 子回到直立位置,簡單地克服之重量並且使椅子未使用時保 持在直立位置上。 一般,當椅子被使用者傾斜時,彈簧加入少量之回復力。 但是,因爲使用者之體重決定了使椅子回到直立位置所須力 量之大小,故此力量因使用者及椅子傾斜程度而不同,本發 明椅子利用使用者體重反制使用者之傾斜。 椅子之每一側上連桿組之連桿可樞轉地連到椅座,並且 延長之連桿被固定地連到椅背,以突顯座椅及椅背之獨立 、分開之外觀。 一般,與椅座隔離而在其下方之基座爲很小、淸潔、並 且精構造之外殼,其中容納有上述第三及第四連桿之下方 軸頸。 基座上方之水平連桿爲軌道式,椅座盤被支持在導軌中, 使椅座可前後滑動以調整椅座深度。椅座導軌中之位置可由 傳統之機構固定。 經濟部智慧財產局員工消費合作社印製 最好,椅背及椅座部份由成型、很柔軟、彈性之合成塑 膠,如強化玻璃纖維或者可彎曲之高強度材料製成。椅座包 括上方、下側、前方及後方部份。同樣地,椅背有上方 '下 側、前方及後方部份。椅座之上方部份及椅背之前方部份一 般爲曲線輪廓成型,並且由傳統之襯墊材料所覆蓋。 椅座下側之前方區域(一般在支持椅座盤或支持件之導 軌前方)由樞軸而被連到基座,並且椅座後部之下側經連桿 本紙張尺度適用中國國家標準(CNS)A4規格(210 X 297公釐) 1235645 A7 厂 _ B7___ 五、發明說明() 被連到椅背之下方區域。 當椅座傾斜時,向後之連桿(一般爲椅背支持件的延伸) 繞椅子基座之後樞轉點樞轉。由於此樞轉,椅座支持件下方 之樞轉點微向上及向後升起。椅座支持件之向上及向後移動 拉住前連桿(例如上方水平椅座支持軌條),而將椅座之前 方部份提起。椅座提起抵住使用者重量,因而是利用使用者 之重量以「承載」椅背去抵擋傾斜力。結果,依照本發明此 方面構建之椅座,由於產生此種阻力之使用者體重之故,而 有均勻的對傾斜阻力。因爲傾斜張力是由使用者重量所調整 ,使用者重量越大時使椅背傾斜所須之力越大,反之亦然。 本發明一些實施例中,椅子有一或二個臂靠。可調整臂靠 是由i對從椅子背後發源之桿所支持。最好,調整臂支持桿 從固定椅背之「外骨架」而來。最佳爲具有調整臂之椅子爲 本申請案之可傾斜椅子,本發明之可調整臂可被應用到大部 份任何具有椅背之椅子。 本發明特別較佳之實施例中,椅臂隨時可提起或降下。欲 使臂脫離或重新定位,臂靠之遠端被升起些微量,如1公分 。一旦定位機構脫離時,臂可隨時重新定位到任何高度。當 被定位後,臂被釋放並且落入適當定位中,並且重新與定位 機構啣接。本發明之可調整臂一個實施例中,椅子具有兩個 彼此獨立之臂。本發明之可調整臂另一個實施例中,一個臂 之移動沿著同方向調整第二臂同樣的量。 本發明特別較佳之實施例中,椅子有頭靠,當椅子傾斜 -10-

之方法及機構,及/或傾側機構之方法及機構一起使用。第 3 4圖顯示一種椅子加入本發明之許多方面到椅子設計中, 具體上包括本發明用來使椅背傾斜之方法及機構,可調整 臂靠之方法及機構,可調整頭靠之方法及機構,及/或傾側 機構之方法及機構。 爲了解本發明之操作,許多分離之本發明方面將分開敘述。 起初從使椅背傾斜之方法及機構開始,其中座位使用者之體 重被利用來反制傾斜力將敘述。隨後,本發明椅子設計之其 他發明方面將被敘述。 參照第1圖,椅子包括基座110,固定在椅座支持件119上 之椅座111,以及支持椅背1 1 2之椅背支持件1 1 3。基座1 1 0 被支持在從五腳腳輪架1 1 5向上突出之樞軸1 1 4上,腳之末 端容納著腳輪1 1 6將椅子支持在地板11 7上。 椅座1 1 1由椅座支持件1 1 9所支持,接著向後由椅背支持 延伸部123,向前由支持臂120而連到基座110。具體上,椅 背支持延伸部1 2 3由水平樞軸點1 2 4而連到基座1 1 0,並且由 水平樞軸點1 22而連到椅座支持件1 19。對應地,支持臂1 20 由水平樞軸點121而連到基座110,並且由水平樞軸點118連 到椅座支持件1 1 9。結果,基座1 1 0,支持臂1 2 0,椅座支 持件119,椅背支持延伸部123及水平樞軸點118,121,122 及1 24形成實質上爲平行四邊形之連桿組,可沿著一個方向 在向前與向下位置之間運動(如第1圖所示),並且椅座Π1 -1 5 - 本紙張尺度適用中國國家標準(CNS)A4規格(210 X 297公釐) (請先閱讀背面之注咅?事項再填寫本頁) 裝--------訂---------線Λ 經濟部智慧財產局員工消費合作社印製 1235645 經濟部智慧財產局員工消費合作社印製 A7 B7 五、發明說明() 沿著另一個方向在向後與向上位置之間運動(如第2圖所示) 〇 基座110與支持臂120之假想水平延伸線形成前傾銳角 1 0 1,當椅子在停止位置時,此角約爲5度。較佳至少爲1 0 度,並且最好至少爲20度。然而,當椅子在停止位置時’ 前傾銳角101通常少於45度,較佳爲少於40度。當椅子在 停止位置時,最通常之前傾銳角1〇1爲26度。 對應地,基座110與椅背支持延伸部123形成前顧銳角102 ,一般它比成前傾銳角1 〇 1小。當椅子在停止位置時,前傾 銳角102約爲5度。較佳至少爲8度,並且最好至少爲15度 。然而,當椅子在停止位置時,前傾銳角102通常少於40 度,政佳爲少於30度。當椅子在停止位置時,最通常之前 傾銳角1 0 2爲1 8度。 較佳爲椅座1 1 1反制椅背支持件Π 3傾斜之升起量在0 . 2 與2英吋之間。更較佳之椅座升起量在0 . 4與1英吋之間。 在本發明傾斜椅子一個特別有用之實施例中,椅座在其前面 升起約0 . 6英吋,後面約升起0 . 8英吋。 由上述可知,椅背支持件傾側之水平樞軸點1 24並非椅子 使用者之臀部關節。故,椅背之傾側使周圍形成一個弧形, 它與使用者臀部關節形成之弧形有位移。但是,在此椅座升 起之傾側機構同時發生之動作,使用者產生一個淨定位,與 假如椅背傾側中心與臀部關節同時延伸時所達成之定位相 同。 -1 6 - 本紙張尺度適用中國國家標準(CNS)A4規格(210 X 297公釐)

聚烯經膠體是可用的。一般椅座111之膠墊約半英吋厚,並 且位在一英吋厚傳統軟泡沬層之頂部。更較佳爲椅座1 1 1被 成型爲可減少膠體最厚部份之壓力點。 一般,椅背1 1 2爲固定到剛硬外殼之3 / 4英吋厚傳統軟泡 沬層。 第2 1圖提供利用使用者體重之機構局部之互動以反制傾 斜力,而協助椅背回復到直立或停止位置。再次,椅背113 可樞#地在樞軸點1 2 4連到基座1 1 0。椅背支持延伸部1 2 3 接續著,並且可樞轉地在樞軸點1 22連到椅座支持件1 1 9。 同樣地,基座1 1 0前端由可樞轉地在樞軸點1 1 8連到基座1 1 0 之連桿1 20之操作而連到椅座支持件1 1 9前端,並且可樞轉 地在樞軸點1 2 1連到椅座支持件1 1 9。 第21圖顯示彈簧裝置125及可伸縮彈簧導件464經由枕 塊7 1 5而與固定在椅背支持件1 1 3上之連接件3 5 0互動。 第21圖亦顯示可使椅座向前或後前進之多個槽,以使椅 子能更舒適地容納使用者。此圖實施例中,槽能將椅座卡在 適當位置上。 第21A圖顯示一個可將可移動椅座鎖在所要位置上之裝 置。在此實施例中,使桿2 1 00升起繞樞軸關節2 1 1 0轉動, -1 7 - 本紙張尺度適用中國國家標準(CNS)A4規格(210 X 297公釐) (請先閱讀背面之注意事項再填寫本頁)

另一種用來取代支持臂120而將使用者體重與使椅子回 復到其直立位置互連之機構具有與上述四連桿組機構完全 相同之功能,可用來取代四連桿組機構。例如,支持臂1 2 0 可由裝在基座110上之軌道以及從椅座支持件119向下突出 之移動件所取代。當椅背支持延伸部1 2 3在椅背1 1 2傾側而 樞轉時’椅座支持件1 1 9將移動件沿著向後傾斜之軌道拉向 上。最好軌道或移動件兩者具有如聚四氟乙烯 (polytetrafluoroethylene)之低摩擦表面。 本發明具有頭靠之實施例中,最好頭靠具有一英吋厚之 傳統軟泡沬層。 經濟部智慧財產局員工消費合作社印製 本發明基座110之第一實施例顯示於第7圖中。如圖所示 ’基座110經由活塞400而裝在樞軸114上。活塞400是傳 統氣缸之零件用心使椅子之高度升起或降下。基座110有前 樞軸1 2 1及後樞軸1 2 4。本發明可傾斜椅子中,樞軸被連到 使椅背與椅座升起互連之四連桿組上之兩個連桿。基座110 有彈簧裝置1 2 5,它施加力量到椅子以維持未使用之椅子在 直立位置上。彈簧裝置125被裝在氣缸720周圍,氣缸720 接著裝在氣缸基部710上,氣缸基部710最好固定在與基座 Π0 —體形成之固定點700上。 -1 8 - 本紙張尺度適用中國國家標準(CNS)A4規格(210 X 297公釐)

之聚四氟乙烯(polytetrafluoroethylene)之低摩擦材料製 成。 第7圖亦顯示固定到椅座支持件Π9之延伸部7 25,它在 自動可調整頭靠之實施例中,可形成一個固定平台,使桿將 椅背之傾側轉變成頭靠之向前移動。 在本發明另一較佳實施例中,基座110,椅座111及椅背 1 1 2爲_ 了傾側而具有稍微傾斜之兩部份外殻。例如,如第8 及1 0圖所示,基座1 1 0之頂部3 2 0容納水平樞軸點1 2 1及1 2 4 。在第1 0圖中亦顯示外殼3 1 5容納傳統機構(如連桿3 1 7 ) ,它是用來釋放裝在控制基座110高度用之樞軸114中之第 一傳統氣缸。此實施例亦有第二傳統氣缸,亦即氣缸3 0 0。 氣缸300之功能爲可使椅子在基座110上方之部份以及固定 到頂部3 2 0之零件傾側。 經濟部智慧財產局員工消費合作社印製 第8圖顯示基座1 1 0在前傾側位置上之側圖。在此圖中, 基座頂部3 20實質上爲水平。基座頂部3 2 0可樞轉地連到在 水平樞軸點121處之基座外殼底部430。氣缸300之活塞420 可樞轉地連到樞軸點431處之連桿組430。接著,連桿組430 可樞轉地連到在樞軸點4 3 2處之連桿組4 3 3,形成一個在樞 -19- 本紙張尺度適用中國國家標準(CNS)A4規格(210 X 297公釐) 1235645 Α7 Β7 五、發明說明() 軸點4 3 5處連到連桿組4 3 7之曲柄軸,連桿組4 3 7在樞軸點 4 3 9處固鎖在基座外殻頂部3 2 0。經由此連桿組系統,氣缸 3 0 0施加力量以改變其上方之椅子零件的傾側角。 第8圖亦顯示傳統連桿組機構,它操作上使外殻3 1 5 (爲 連桿3 1 7 )與裝在控制基座1 1 0高度用之樞軸1 1 4中之傳統氣 缸400之傳統釋放機構40 5連接。 第8圖之機構的較佳實施例中,桿3 1 7之反時針方向轉動 作動了傳統釋放機構405,而桿3 1 7之順時針方向轉動作動 了氣缸3 00。同時,因爲槽4 2 7之故,桿317之順時針方向 轉動使連接桿3 1 7到氣缸400之機構可「浮在」或者滑動在 槽427中,因而不作動傳統釋放機構405。 第έ圖亦顯示較佳彈簧機構,它在傾側角增加時可增加傾 側回復力。具體地,彈簧125被裝在彈簧基部460上,它是 可樞轉地連到彈簧外殼450之容室456中之承座458上。臂 4 5 4可樞轉地連接彈簧外殻4 5 0到下基座外殼部4 0 8。彈簧 125中裝有彈簧活塞462,其頂部爲彈簧活塞頂部464 (或可 伸縮彈簧導件)推抵容室46 8之頂部46 6。 較佳爲容室468之頂部466爲弧形,它從彈簧基部460之 承座4 5 8到容室468之頂部466爲等距。此配置使彈簧125 及活塞組合或可伸縮彈簧導件464從樞軸124移動可變距離 ,因而增加或者減少到椅背支持件1 1 3之槓桿力。 第9圖顯示基座1 1 0在完全後傾側位置上之側圖。在此圖 中,基座頂部3 20實質上爲傾斜。特別是,臂4 5 4及其樞轉 -20 - 本紙張尺度適用中國國家標準(CNS)A4規格(210 X 297公釐) (請先閱讀背面之注意事項再填寫本頁) 裝--------訂---------線爲 經濟部智慧財產局員工消費合作社印製 1235645 A7 B7 五、發明說明() (請先閱讀背面之注意事項再填寫本頁) 連接部4 5 2,在此圖中,沿著頂部466之下表面徑向地滑動 到最遠離樞軸124之位置。頂部466有下表面爲成曲線狀之 角狀,使連到彈簧基部460,彈簧活塞462及活塞組合(或 可伸縮彈簧導件)464之臂454向後傾側,使彈簧125頂部從 樞軸1 24更進一步移動,因而增加了槓桿。可伸縮彈簧導件 464之頂部可樞轉地承裝於枕塊715中,而可沿著頂部466 之下表面滑動而不改變彈簧1 2 5之壓縮。由於此種重定位, 彈簧活塞頂部464在一個更遠離水平樞軸點1 24之點推抵容 室468之頂部466。換言之,當傾側機構增加其向後傾側時 ,彈簧1 25之中心線以相對於垂直面較增加之角度而向後 傾側。這些改變增加了在向後傾側位置中彈簧1 2 5之槓桿, 產生f彈簧125之傾斜壓縮,它在彈簧125之從垂直面之傾 側角度增加時會增加,在彈簧1 25之從垂直面之傾側角度減 少時會減少。淨效應爲增加了彈簧1 2 5進行任何進一步增量 變形之阻力。此彈簧1 2 5 ’之增量變形阻力之增加,由於使 用者在較大傾側角時其上體傳遞到背靠之更大負荷之故,而 對支持背靠上增加之負荷提供了較大之阻力。 經濟部智慧財產局員工消費合作社印製 彈簧1 2 5 ’之增量變形阻力,在椅子以其他方式傾側時會 增加。例如,任何使彈簧1 25遠離水平樞軸點1 24之傾側可 達成此點。在另一實施例中,彈簧125被裝在樞轉基座上, 有護蓋升起。人工接觸之桿推抵此護蓋因而使彈簧1 2 5傾側 。此傾側增加了彈簧1 2 5頂部與水平樞軸點1 2 4之間的距離 ,因而增加了彈簧1 2 5 ’之增量變形阻力。 -21 - 本紙張尺度適用中國國家標準(CNS)A4規格(210 X 297公釐) 1235645 A7 B7___ 五、發明說明() 本發明另外加入到可傾斜椅子之傾側機構之功能顯示在 第5及6圖中。第5圖顯示椅子在停止位置上。圖中未顯示 者爲另外之傾側機構可達到之前傾機構。第6圖顯示可傾斜 椅子之另外傾側機構在增強傾側位置。 更特別地,第5圖中,基座1 10頂部3 20在大致水平位置 上。因爲頂部3 20爲使椅座1 1 1升起之四連桿組中之固定連 桿,當頂部3 20爲水平時,椅座1 1 1亦成水平。下基座外殻 部4 0 8可樞轉地連到在水平樞軸點1 2 1處之基座1 1 0頂部 3 20。當椅子使用者在椅子上傾斜時,另外之傾側機構使頂 部3 20之後部降下,而頂部3 20之前部仍大致在相同位置上 。頂部3 2 0之移動使454繞樞軸452轉動,接著使彈簧外殻 4 5 0降低,並且增加了彈簧125中心線與穿過彈簧125中心 線基部之垂直線之間的角度。此移動亦增加了樞軸點1 24與 彈簧3 5 0接觸椅背支持件1 13之點之間的距離。 如上所述,彈簧1 2 5之此項轉動增加了彈簧壓力中心之距 離,接著增加了迫使椅背回到其停止位置之力量。但是,此 彈簧力量須要額外由使用者體重提供之力量,來使椅子回到 其直立位置,當椅子使用者傾側時。 最好,另外傾側機構對前傾加入約1度到1 5度之間的傾 側,(即椅座之後端相對於前端之升起),並且最好另外傾側 機構加入到約3度到1 0度之間的前傾。更較佳爲傾側機構 加入到約4度到8度之間的前傾。在特別之較佳之實施例中 ,傾側機構加入約6度的前傾。 -22- 本紙張尺度適用中國國家標準(CNS)A4規格(210 X 297公釐) (請先閱讀背面之注咅?事項再填寫本頁) 裝----ί丨訂·------I 1 *§^座 經濟部智慧財產局員工消費合作社印製 1235645 A7 B7 五、發明說明() (請先閱讀背面之注意事項再填寫本頁) 如上所述,另外傾側機構加入到約1度到1 2度之間的後 傾(即椅座之後端相對於前端之降低)。更較佳爲傾側機構加 入到約2度到1 0度之間的後傾。另外更較佳爲傾側機構加 入到約3度到7度之間的後傾。在特別之較佳之實施例中, 傾側機構加入約5度的後傾。在加入額外之後傾之中,必須 小心防止使用中之椅子傾斜到其重心移到樞軸1 1 4之後很 多’以防止椅子向後翻倒。 本發明之另一方面,椅子裝有頭靠,當椅背傾側時,頭 靠會被迫向前。椅子傾側越多時,頭靠會被迫向前移動越多 。椅子自動可調整頭靠之較佳實施例中加入有由使用者體 重所反制之傾斜背及本發明自動可調整頭靠之較佳實施例 顯示i第3及4圖中。 具體上,除了與第1圖椅子傾斜機構有關之許多已敘述之 元件之外,此實施例中亦包括自動可調整頭靠3 7 0。 經濟部智慧財產局員工消費合作社印製 裝在頭靠370背後爲垂直調整桿380。一般,有一對平行 之垂直調整桿3 8 0裝在頭靠3 7 0背後。最好垂直調整桿有2 到1 0英吋之間的調整範圍,更較佳爲這些垂直調整桿有3 到7英吋之間的長度調整範圍。特別較佳之垂直調整桿調整 範圍爲約5英吋。 垂直調整桿380穿過承座390。最好承座390及垂直調整 桿3 8 0以一個方式互相作用,使頭靠3 7 0拘束在相對於承座 3 9 0之位置上。例如,垂直調整桿3 8 0可由傳統摩擦啣接法 而維持在承座390中之位置上。或者,垂直調整桿380有多 -23 - 本紙張尺度適用中國國家標準(CNS)A4規格(210 X 297公釐) 1235645 A7 「 _ B7____ 五、發明說明() (請先閱讀背面之注意事項再填寫本頁) 個孔,承裝桿可穿過其中,而將垂直調整桿3 8 0鎖住在承座 3 9

移動之弧度一致,當使用者坐上椅子後其頭部向前或後傾側 時。最好,此弧度有中心點與通過使用者肩部關節之假想軸 一致,並且半徑與此中心點到使用者耳朵底部之距離爲一致 〇 經濟部智慧財產局員工消費合作社印製 在台車連接部3 6 5處,台車3 8 5可樞轉地在點3 6 7處連到 桿3 60。桿3 60之下端可樞轉地在點3 5 7處連到椅座支持件 延伸部725,接著連到椅座支持件119。因爲桿360長度實 質上爲固定,椅背1 13及下方桿樞軸7 25之間弧形之微分與 椅座支持件1 19之額外升起作用結合造成桿3 60之上推,接 著移動頭靠支持台車385在其軌道上,以形成所要之向上及 向前移動。向上之力造成台車3 8 5沿著椅背支持件延伸部 3 7 5內側上之軌道之曲線路徑移動。台車3 8 5之此項移動接 著使頭靠從其與椅背支持件1 1 3排列之位置移動到第4圖所 示之向前位置。由於此移動,頭靠3 7

Matters before filling out this page) Another object of the present invention is to provide a reclining chair, in which the frame supporting the seat and the backrest is pivotally connected to the seat, and fixedly Attaches to the backrest to accentuate the separate, separate appearance of the seat and back. Another purpose is to provide an armrest that can be adjusted at any time. These and other objects and advantages of the present invention will be understood from the following expanded description. In order to complete the foregoing and related aspects, the present invention includes features which will be described in detail later, and will be specifically indicated in the scope of the patent application. The following description and drawings illustrate the embodiments of the present invention in detail, but this is only to show a few principles of the invention Many ways can be applied. Briefly explain the advantages printed by the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs' employee consumer cooperative. In terms of advantages, some embodiments of the present invention provide a user weight operation with a reclining back chair, in which the user weight carries the chair mechanism and automatically Adjust the tilt tension to tilt the seat back. In another preferred version of this embodiment, a user-operated chair provides a substantially uniform force against the tilt of the seat back within its range of movement. Furthermore, although this mechanism includes a spring, it does not rely on springs or other adjustments to increase or decrease the chair reclining force. Instead, the spring only provides a secondary or auxiliary force to the force provided by the user's weight. The spring does not require any adjustment. A chair operated by a user according to the present invention includes a seat having a seat and a backrest mounted on a support structure such as a wheel frame. The backrest is tiltable to the seat, and the structure of the chair and the relationship between the parts are such that when the backrest is tilted, the entire seat rises against the weight of the user. In this way, the weight of the chair is carried by the user's weight. The paper size is applicable to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 (210 X 297 mm) 1235645 A7 B7. All are reclined recliner chairs with the inner range required. } The reclining W reclining backrest chair makes the rear seat in the seat to be a good one.

Furthermore, the change of the resistance to lateral tilt resistance when the beard must be applied can be used to increase the tilt of the reclining chair pair. In the low-resistance tilt tilt mode, the tilt is reversed and the ij ΠΙΣTΗ is self-leveling. Before the side change, this paper applies the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 mm) 1235645 A7 ------ B7_____. This invention is completed without any adjustment by the user. (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page.) Some preferred embodiments of the reclining chair of the present invention have a base, which pivotally supports the seat by the opposing links of two four-link mechanism. Generally, in this embodiment, a set of opposing links extend on each side of the chair to support the seat back. Embodiments of the present invention in which the reclining chair is generally provided with a fixed rod whose base forms a link set. This link group transmits the action of the rear link to the angle change of the front link. Some reclining chairs of the present invention have a spring in the base, which acts on a rod of the link set, forcing the chair to an upright position. This spring also helps to balance the tilting force of the user. The chair lifting mechanism of the tiltable chair of the present invention is usually not noticed by the user, and the chair does not lift the user's feet off the ground. The present invention provides a reclining chair in which the back of the chair pivots at an ideal pivot point, which overcomes the common problems of pulling the shirt tail and raising the feet of the prior art chair. The present invention provides a chair in which a seat base and a seat back are supported by a link group mechanism from a base, so that the angle of the user's body to the foot is increased when the seat back is tilted. Printed by the Consumer Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs The tilt of the seat and back can be achieved by a four-link linkage set. The four-link link set can be parallel or non-parallel. In one embodiment of the chair of the present invention, each side of the seat is supported by the links of a four-link link set. The base of the chair forms a second link. The third link extends to support the seat back. The fourth link connects the front of the base to the front of the seat. Link sets are duplicated in each side of the chair. The pivot of the connecting rod set is designed so that the user's weight can be balanced. The seat pivots. The paper size is applicable to China National Standard (CNS) A4 (210 X 297 mm) 1235645 A7 B7. 5. Description of the invention () (please Read the precautions on the back before filling this page), and the spring in the base acts on one of the links in the link set to force the chair back to the upright position, simply overcome the weight and keep the chair in the unused position In an upright position. Generally, when the chair is tilted by the user, the spring adds a small amount of restoring force. However, because the weight of the user determines the amount of force required to return the chair to the upright position, the force varies depending on the user and the degree of chair inclination. The chair of the present invention uses the user's weight to counteract the user's inclination. The links of the link set on each side of the chair can be pivotally connected to the seat, and the extended links are fixedly connected to the back of the chair to highlight the independent and separate appearance of the seat and back. Generally, the base below the seat base is a small, clean, and well-structured housing that houses the lower journals of the third and fourth links described above. The horizontal link above the base is orbital, and the seat pan is supported in the guide rail, allowing the seat to slide back and forth to adjust the seat depth. The position in the seat rail can be fixed by conventional mechanisms. It is best printed by the Consumer Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs. The back and seat parts are made of molded, very soft and elastic synthetic plastic, such as reinforced glass fiber or flexible high-strength materials. The seat consists of upper, lower, front and rear sections. Similarly, the seat back has upper, lower, front and rear portions. The upper part of the seat and the front part of the back are generally contoured and covered with traditional cushioning materials. The front area of the lower side of the seat (usually in front of the guide supporting the seat plate or support) is pivoted to the base, and the lower side of the back of the seat is connected by a link. ) A4 size (210 X 297 mm) 1235645 A7 Factory _ B7___ 5. Description of the invention () It is connected to the area below the seat back. When the seat is tilted, the rearward link (usually an extension of the backrest support) pivots around the pivot point behind the chair base. Due to this pivot, the pivot points under the seat support are raised slightly upwards and backwards. Move the seat support upwards and backwards Pull the front link (such as the upper horizontal seat support rail) and lift the front part of the seat. The seat is lifted against the user's weight, so the user's weight is used to "load" the seat back to resist the tilting force. As a result, the seat constructed in accordance with this aspect of the present invention has a uniform resistance to tilting due to the weight of the user who generates such resistance. Because the tilt tension is adjusted by the weight of the user, the greater the weight of the user, the greater the force required to tilt the seat back, and vice versa. In some embodiments of the invention, the chair has one or two armrests. Adjustable armrests are supported by i-pair rods that originate from the back of the chair. Preferably, the adjustment arm support bar comes from the "outer frame" of the fixed seat back. Most preferably, the chair with the adjusting arm is the reclining chair of the present application, and the adjustable arm of the present invention can be applied to most of any chair having a back. In a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, the chair arm can be raised or lowered at any time. To disengage or reposition the arm, the distal end of the arm is raised slightly, such as 1 cm. Once the positioning mechanism is disengaged, the arm can be repositioned to any height at any time. When positioned, the arm is released and falls into proper positioning and re-engages with the positioning mechanism. In one embodiment of the adjustable arm of the present invention, the chair has two independent arms. In another embodiment of the adjustable arm of the present invention, the movement of one arm adjusts the second arm by the same amount in the same direction. In a particularly preferred embodiment of the present invention, the chair has a headrest, and when the chair is tilted -10- This paper size applies to China National Standard (CNS) A4 (210 X 297 mm) (Please read the precautions on the back before filling in this Page) -------- Order --------- ^ Printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs 1235645 A7 B7 V. Description of the invention () You can move forward to support the chair The user's head, and retract when the chair returns to its upright stop position. In this way, the user's head of the chair can be supported when it is most needed, i.e., when the user's head is not fully reclined in line with the user's back. However, when support is not needed ', i.e., when the user's head is in line with the user's back when in the upright position, the support is removed. It is best to move the head against an arc to mimic the natural movement of the head. Most preferably, a chair with an automatic headrest is a tiltable chair of the present application. The automatic headrest of the present invention can be applied to most of any chair with a backrest.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention contains many developments that can be added separately or incorporated into traditional chair designs. For example, the method and mechanism for tilting a chair back of the present invention may be separately -1 4-This paper size is applicable to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 (210 X 297 mm) 1235645 A7 ____B7______ 5. Description of the invention () is used Or, it can be used with methods and mechanisms of adjustable armrests, methods and mechanisms of adjustable headrests, and / or methods and mechanisms of tilting mechanisms. Figure 34 shows a chair incorporating many aspects of the present invention into a chair design, specifically including the method and mechanism for tilting the back of the chair, the method and mechanism for adjusting the armrest, the method for adjusting the headrest, and Institutions, and / or methods and institutions of tilting institutions. To understand the operation of the present invention, many separate aspects of the invention will be described separately. Initially, the method and mechanism for tilting the back of the chair will be described, in which the weight of the seat user is utilized to counteract the tilting force. Subsequently, other inventive aspects of the chair design of the present invention will be described. Referring to FIG. 1, the chair includes a base 110, a seat 111 fixed to a seat support 119, and a seat back support 1 1 3 supporting the seat back 1 1 2. The base 1 1 0 is supported on a pivot 1 1 4 which protrudes upward from the pentagonal caster stand 1 1 5. The end of the foot accommodates the caster 1 1 6 to support the chair on the floor 11 7. The seat 1 1 1 is supported by the seat support 1 1 9 and then supported by the seat back in the extension 123 and forwardly connected to the base 110 by the support arm 120. Specifically, the back support extension 1 2 3 is connected to the base 1 1 0 by the horizontal pivot point 1 2 4 and is connected to the seat support 1 19 by the horizontal pivot point 1 22. Correspondingly, the support arm 1 20 is connected to the base 110 by the horizontal pivot point 121, and is connected to the seat support 1 1 9 by the horizontal pivot point 118. As a result, the base 1 10, the support arm 1 2 0, the seat support 119, the back support extension 123, and the horizontal pivot points 118, 121, 122, and 1 24 form a substantially parallelogram-shaped link group, Can move in one direction between forward and downward positions (as shown in Figure 1), and the seat Π1 -1 5-This paper size applies to China National Standard (CNS) A4 (210 X 297 mm) ) (Please read the note on the back?

Description of the invention () Movement in the other direction between the backward and upward position (as shown in Figure 2) A sharp forward angle of 101 is formed. When the chair is in the stopped position, this angle is about 5 degrees. It is preferably at least 10 degrees, and most preferably at least 20 degrees. However, when the chair is in the stop position, the acute forward lean angle 101 is usually less than 45 degrees, preferably less than 40 degrees. When the chair is in the stop position, the most common prior angle of inclination 101 is 26 degrees. Correspondingly, the base 110 and the back support extension 123 form an acute front angle 102, which is generally smaller than the forward lean acute angle 101. When the chair is in the stopped position, the acute forward tilt angle 102 is about 5 degrees. It is preferably at least 8 degrees, and most preferably at least 15 degrees. However, when the chair is in the stop position, the forward lean acute angle 102 is usually less than 40 degrees, and Zhengjia is less than 30 degrees. When the chair is in the stopped position, the most common angle of inclination before it is 10 2 is 18 degrees. It is preferred that the chair seat 1 1 1 counter the chair back support Π 3 and the lifting amount is 0.  Between 2 and 2 inches. The better seat lift is 0.  Between 4 and 1 inch. In a particularly useful embodiment of the reclining chair of the present invention, the seat is raised about 0 in front of it.  6 inches, rising about 0.  8 inches. As can be seen from the above, the horizontal pivot point 1 24 of the tilt of the seat back support is not the hip joint of the chair user. Therefore, the inclination of the seat back forms an arc around it, which is displaced from the arc formed by the hip joint of the user. However, in this simultaneous movement of the tilt mechanism of the seat lift, the user generates a net positioning that is the same as if the tilt center of the seat back and the hip joint were extended simultaneously. -1 6-This paper size applies to Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 (210 X 297 mm) (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) -------- Order ----- ---- 1235645 A7 ____B7_____ 5. Description of the invention () Figures 1 and 2 show the non-spring device 125. When the chair is used, it can force the seat back support 11 3 to return to its stop position. Generally, the seat 1 1 1 and the seat back 1 1 2 have a rigid outer shell like a plastic injection molded product. Preferably, the seat 111 has a layer of incompressible, movable colloid. For example, polyenes are available via colloids. Generally, the cushion of the chair seat 111 is about half an inch thick, and is positioned on top of a one-inch thick conventional soft foam layer. More preferably, the seat 1 1 1 is shaped to reduce the pressure point of the thickest part of the colloid. In general, the seat back 1 1 2 is a 3/4 inch thick traditional soft foam layer fixed to a rigid shell. Figure 21 provides local interaction using the body weight of the user to counter the tilting force and assist the seat back to return to the upright or stopped position. Again, the seat back 113 can be pivotally connected to the base 1 1 0 at the pivot point 1 2 4. The back support extensions 1 2 3 are continuous and pivotably connected to the seat support 1 1 9 at pivot points 1 22. Similarly, the front end of the base 1 10 is pivotally connected to the front end of the seat support 1 1 9 by the operation of the link 1 20 pivotally connected to the base 1 1 8 at the pivot point 1 1 8 and can be pivoted Turn the ground at the pivot point 1 2 1 to the seat support 1 1 9. Fig. 21 shows that the spring device 125 and the retractable spring guide 464 interact with the connecting member 3 50 fixed to the seat back support member 1 13 through the pillow block 7 1 5. Figure 21 also shows slots that allow the seat to be advanced forward or backward to allow the chair to more comfortably accommodate the user. In the embodiment of the figure, the slot can hold the seat in place. Figure 21A shows a device that can lock a movable seat in a desired position. In this embodiment, the lever 2 1 00 is raised and pivoted about the pivot joint 2 1 1 0, -1 7-This paper size is applicable to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 (210 X 297 mm) (Please read first Note on the back, please fill in this page again.) -------- Order --------- Printed by the Consumers' Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs 1235645 A7 ____B7____ V. Invention Description () ( Please read the notes on the back before filling this page) and the pin 2120 moves out of the slot 2130. When the pin 2120 moves out of the groove 2130, the seat 111 is fixed by a pin 2140 having an enlarged head 2145 under the support member 119 and can be moved along the support member 1 1 9. The upper end of the pin 2 1 40 is fixed to the seat 1 1 1. Another mechanism for replacing the support arm 120 to interconnect the user's weight with returning the chair to its upright position has the same function as the above-mentioned four-link mechanism, and can be used instead of the four-link mechanism. For example, the support arm 120 can be replaced by a track mounted on the base 110 and a moving member protruding downward from the seat support 119. When the seat back support extension 1 2 3 is tilted and pivoted on the seat back 1 1 2 ', the seat support 1 1 9 pulls the moving member upward along a track inclined backward. Preferably, both the track or the moving member has a low-friction surface such as polytetrafluoroethylene. In the embodiment of the present invention having a headrest, it is preferable that the headrest has a conventional soft foam layer of one inch thick. Printed by the Consumer Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs The first embodiment of the base 110 of the present invention is shown in FIG. As shown, 'the base 110 is mounted on a pivot 114 via a piston 400. The piston 400 is a part of a conventional air cylinder that intentionally raises or lowers the height of the chair. The base 110 has a front pivot 1 2 1 and a rear pivot 1 2 4. In the tiltable chair of the present invention, the pivot shaft is connected to two links on a four-link set that interconnects the seat back and the seat up. The base 110 has a spring device 1 2 5 which applies force to the chair to keep the unused chair in an upright position. The spring device 125 is mounted around the cylinder 720, and the cylinder 720 is then mounted on the cylinder base 710. The cylinder base 710 is preferably fixed at a fixed point 700 formed integrally with the base Π0. -1 8-This paper size is in accordance with Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 (210 X 297 mm) 1235645 A7 B7 V. Description of the invention () (Please read the notes on the back before filling this page) In addition, Figure 7 Also shown is a retractable spring guide 464 (sliably mounted in the spring cylinder 7 20). The top pillow block 7 1 5 is pivotally mounted on the top of the retractable spring guide 4 6 4 and abuts the connecting element 3 5 0 between the seat back support 1 1 3. Preferably, the top pillow block 7 1 5 is made of low friction material of polytetrafluoroethylene which is sold on the market under the registered trademark of TEFLON. Figure 7 also shows the extension 7 25 fixed to the seat support Π9. In the embodiment of the automatic adjustable headrest, it can form a fixed platform, so that the bar changes the tilt of the seat back into the headrest forward mobile. In another preferred embodiment of the present invention, the base 110, the seat 111, and the back 1 1 2 are tilted and have a slightly inclined two-part housing. For example, as shown in Figures 8 and 10, the top 3 2 0 of the base 1 10 accommodates horizontal pivot points 1 2 1 and 1 2 4. Figure 10 also shows that the housing 3 1 5 houses a conventional mechanism (such as the connecting rod 3 1 7), which is the first conventional cylinder used to release the pivot 114 mounted on the control base 110 for height. This embodiment also has a second conventional cylinder, that is, the cylinder 300. The function of the air cylinder 300 is to tilt the part of the chair above the base 110 and the parts fixed to the top 320. Printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs. Figure 8 shows the side view of the base 1 1 0 in the forward tilt position. In this figure, the top 3 20 of the base is substantially horizontal. The base top 3 2 0 is pivotally connected to the base housing bottom 430 at the horizontal pivot point 121. The piston 420 of the air cylinder 300 is pivotally connected to a link set 430 at a pivot point 431. Next, the connecting rod group 430 is pivotably connected to the connecting rod group 4 3 3 at the pivot point 4 3 2 to form a pivot at -19- This paper size applies the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 mm) 1235645 Α7 Β7 V. Description of the invention () The crankshaft is connected to the connecting rod group 4 3 7 at the pivot point 4 3 5 and the connecting rod group 4 3 7 is fixed to the base at the pivot point 4 3 9 Shell top 3 2 0. Through this linkage system, the cylinder 300 exerts force to change the tilt angle of the chair part above it. Fig. 8 also shows a conventional linkage assembly mechanism, which operates the conventional cylinder 400 in the housing 3 1 5 (for the connecting rod 3 1 7) and the pivot 1 1 4 mounted on the control base 1 10 height. The traditional release mechanism 40 5 is connected. In the preferred embodiment of the mechanism of Fig. 8, the counterclockwise rotation of the lever 3 1 7 activates the conventional release mechanism 405, and the clockwise rotation of the lever 3 1 7 activates the cylinder 3 00. At the same time, because of the slot 4 2 7, the clockwise rotation of the lever 317 allows the mechanism connecting the rod 3 1 7 to the cylinder 400 to "float" or slide in the slot 427, and thus does not actuate the conventional release mechanism 405. The first figure also shows a better spring mechanism, which can increase the roll back force when the roll angle is increased. Specifically, the spring 125 is mounted on a spring base 460, which is pivotally connected to a holder 458 in a container 456 of the spring housing 450. The arm 4 5 4 pivotally connects the spring case 450 to the lower base case portion 408. A spring piston 462 is installed in the spring 125, and the top of the spring 125 is a spring piston top 464 (or a retractable spring guide) that pushes against the top 46 of the receiving chamber 46 8. It is preferable that the top 466 of the receiving chamber 468 is arc-shaped, and it is equidistant from the holder 4 5 8 of the spring base 460 to the top 466 of the receiving chamber 468. This configuration allows the spring 125 and the piston combination or the retractable spring guide 464 to move a variable distance from the pivot 124, thereby increasing or decreasing the lever force of the seat back support 1 1 3. Fig. 9 shows a side view of the base 1 10 in the fully backward tilted position. In this figure, the top 3 20 of the base is substantially inclined. In particular, the arm 4 5 4 and its pivot -20-This paper size is applicable to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 (210 X 297 mm) (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) Pack --- ----- Order --------- The line is printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economy 1235645 A7 B7 V. Description of the invention () (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) Link The portion 4 5 2, in this figure, slides radially along the lower surface of the top portion 466 to the position farthest from the pivot 124. The top surface 466 has a curved angle at the lower surface, so that the arm 454 connected to the spring base 460, the spring piston 462 and the piston assembly (or retractable spring guide) 464 is tilted backward, so that the top of the spring 125 is from the pivot 1 24 Moving further, thus increasing leverage. The top of the retractable spring guide 464 is pivotally received in the pillow block 715 and can slide along the lower surface of the top 466 without changing the compression of the spring 1 2 5. Due to this repositioning, the top of the spring piston 464 pushes against the top 466 of the chamber 468 at a point further away from the horizontal pivot point 124. In other words, when the tilt mechanism increases its backward tilt, the center line of the spring 125 is tilted backward at an increased angle relative to the vertical plane. These changes increase the lever of the spring 1 2 5 in the backward tilted position, resulting in the tilt compression of the f spring 125, which increases as the tilt angle of the spring 125 from the vertical plane increases, and the spring 1 25 tilts from the vertical plane It decreases when the angle decreases. The net effect is to increase the resistance of the spring 1 2 5 to any further incremental deformation. The increase of the incremental deformation resistance of the spring 1 2 5 ', because the user transmits a larger load from the upper body to the backrest at a larger inclination angle, it provides a larger support for the increased load on the backrest. Of resistance. The incremental deformation resistance of the spring 1 2 5 ′ printed by the Consumer Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs will increase when the chair is tilted in other ways. For example, any inclination that moves spring 12 25 away from horizontal pivot point 1 24 can achieve this. In another embodiment, the spring 125 is mounted on a pivot base with a cover raised. The manual contact lever pushes against this cover thereby tilting the spring 1 2 5. This inclination increases the distance between the top of the spring 1 2 5 and the horizontal pivot point 1 2 4, thereby increasing the incremental deformation resistance of the spring 1 2 5 ′. -21-This paper size is in accordance with China National Standard (CNS) A4 (210 X 297 mm) 1235645 A7 B7___ V. Description of the invention () The function of the tilt mechanism of the reclining chair added to the present invention is shown in sections 5 and 6 In the figure. Figure 5 shows the chair in the stopped position. What is not shown in the figure is that another tilting mechanism can reach the forward tilting mechanism. Figure 6 shows another tilt mechanism of the tiltable chair in the enhanced tilt position. More specifically, in Fig. 5, the tops 3 20 of the bases 1 10 are in a substantially horizontal position. Because the top 3 20 is a fixed link in a four-link set that raises the seat 1 1 1, when the top 3 20 is horizontal, the seat 1 1 1 is also level. The lower base housing part 408 is pivotably connected to the top of the base 1 1 0 at the horizontal pivot point 1 2 1 3 20. When the chair user leans on the chair, the other tilt mechanism lowers the rear portion of the top portion 3 20, while the front portion of the top portion 3 20 remains approximately in the same position. The movement of the top 3 2 0 causes the 454 to pivot about the pivot 452, then lowers the spring housing 450, and increases the angle between the center line of the spring 125 and the vertical line passing through the base of the center line of the spring 125. This movement also increases the distance between the pivot point 1 24 and the point where the spring 3 50 contacts the seat back support 1 13. As described above, this rotation of the spring 1 2 5 increases the distance of the spring pressure center, and then increases the force for forcing the seat back to its stopped position. However, this spring force requires additional force provided by the user's weight to return the chair to its upright position when the chair user tilts. Preferably, another tilt mechanism is added to the forward tilt between about 1 degree and 15 degrees (that is, the rear end of the seat is raised relative to the front end), and it is best to add another tilt mechanism to about 3 degrees to 10 Degrees forward. More preferably, the tilt mechanism is added to a forward tilt of about 4 to 8 degrees. In a particularly preferred embodiment, the tilt mechanism incorporates a forward tilt of about 6 degrees. -22- This paper size applies to China National Standard (CNS) A4 (210 X 297 mm) (Please read the note on the back? Matters before filling out this page). --I 1 * § ^ Printed by the Consumers ’Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs 1235645 A7 B7 V. Description of the invention () (Please read the notes on the back before filling this page) As mentioned above, another tilting agency has joined Backward tilt between 1 degree and 12 degrees (that is, the lower end of the seat relative to the front end). It is more preferred that the tilt mechanism is tilted back to between about 2 and 10 degrees. In addition, it is more preferable that the tilt mechanism is tilted back to about 3 to 7 degrees. In a particularly preferred embodiment, the tilt mechanism incorporates a back tilt of about 5 degrees. After adding the extra back tilt, care must be taken to prevent the chair in use from tilting until its center of gravity moves much behind the pivot 1 1 4 'to prevent the chair from tipping backwards. In another aspect of the invention, the chair is equipped with a headrest, which is forced forward when the backrest is tilted. The more the chair tilts, the more the headrest will be forced to move forward. The preferred embodiment of the chair's automatic adjustable headrest includes an inclined back that is countered by the weight of the user and the preferred embodiment of the automatic adjustable headrest of the present invention. Figures 3 and 4 are shown. Specifically, in addition to many of the components already described in connection with the chair reclining mechanism of Fig. 1, this embodiment also includes an automatic adjustable headrest 370. Printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs. The vertical adjustment lever 380 is mounted on the back of the headrest 370. Generally, a pair of parallel vertical adjusting rods 380 are installed behind the headrest 370. It is preferred that the vertical adjustment levers have an adjustment range of 2 to 10 inches, and more preferably that these vertical adjustment levers have a length adjustment range of 3 to 7 inches. A particularly preferred vertical adjustment lever has an adjustment range of about 5 inches. The vertical adjustment rod 380 passes through the seat 390. Preferably, the seat 390 and the vertical adjustment lever 3 80 interact with each other in such a way that the headrest 3 70 is restrained in a position relative to the seat 3 900. For example, the vertical adjustment lever 380 can be maintained in the position in the seat 390 by a conventional friction engagement method. Or, there are more than 23 vertical adjustment levers 380-This paper size applies to China National Standard (CNS) A4 (210 X 297 mm) 1235645 A7 "_ B7____ V. Description of the invention () (Please read the precautions on the back before Fill out this page) holes through which the mounting rod can pass and lock the vertical adjustment rod 3 80 in the holder 3 900. Another alternative method includes a traditional ratchet mechanism or virtually any other conventional use Device for fixing a lever in a position in the seat. The seat 3 9 0 is fixed to the trolley 3 8 5. The trolley 3 8 5 moves along a track on the inside of the seat back support extension 3 7 5. The seat back support The extension 3 7 5 and the corresponding track along the inner side of the back support extension 3 7 5 are curved. The curve of the back support extension 3 7 5 (and thus the inner track) and the movement of the user's head The radian is the same when the user leans forward or backward when he sits on the chair. Preferably, the radian has a center point that is consistent with the imaginary axis passing through the user's shoulder joint, and the radius from this center point to the user's ear The distance at the bottom is the same. The production co-operative consumer cooperative is printed at the trolley connection 3, 6 and the trolley 3 8 5 is pivotably connected to the pole 3 60 at point 3 6 7. The lower end of the pole 3 60 is pivotally at point 3 5 7 Is connected to the seat support extension 725, and then to the seat support 119. Because the length of the rod 360 is substantially fixed, the differential of the arc between the seat back 1 13 and the lower rod pivot 7 25 and the seat support The combination of the extra lift of piece 1 19 causes the lever 3 60 to be pushed up, and then moves the headrest support trolley 385 on its track to form the desired upward and forward movement. The upward force causes the trolley 3 8 5 to move along the chair The curved path of the track on the inside of the back support extension 3 7 5 is moved. This movement of the trolley 3 8 5 then moves the headrest from its position aligned with the back support 1 1 3 to the position shown in FIG. 4 Forward position.

These rods 625 and 630 are connected to the seat back 113. In this embodiment, the seat back 113 has at least two ratchet surfaces 640 and 650 on opposite sides of the inside of the seat back 113. The locking lever 6 7 5 is locked on the lever 625 by the connecting device 660. The locking lever 6 7 5 has a ratchet surface to assist the ratchet 640. Similarly, the locking lever 670 is locked to the lever 630 by the connecting device 665. The locking lever 670 has a ratchet surface to assist the ratchet teeth 650. When the arm 610 is slightly raised at the end 610, as shown in FIG. 12, the rod 625 is pushed backward, while at the same time the rod 630 is pushed forward. The movement of the levers 625 and 630 disengages the auxiliary ratchet surface 645 from the ratchet tooth 640 and the ratchet surface 655 from the ratchet tooth 650. In this disengagement condition, the arm can be repositioned with a small amount of force. In order to assist the ratchet surface with the auxiliary ratchet, the lock lever (670 and 675) has a chamber in which the spring 3 4 can push against the piston 6 9 0, and then push against the back support arm 1 1 3 The inner wall of the chamber is connected with the driving ratchet surface and the auxiliary ratchet. Generally, the armrest is fixed to the back of the chair, about 6 to 12 inches above the back of the seat. Generally, when a chair has two armrests connected together, the two armrests are connected by a pair of substantially "C" shaped rods. The locking mechanism interacts with these "C" rods at the point where the rod passes through the seat back support, or at the shell mounted on the seat back for this purpose. When the armrests are not interconnected, the rod shape may be approximately a quarter of a circle. However, these shapes are general features, and any shape can be used to provide -26- this paper size applies Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specifications (210 X 297 public love) (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page ) -------- Order --------- 1235645 A7 B7 V.

Correspondingly, FIGS. 15 and 16 show still another embodiment of the mechanism for fixing the adjustable arm rest position, in which only the upper rod 6 2 5 is connected to the ratchet surface 645 and engages with the ratchet 640. In a chair having left and right armrests, a mechanism for fixing an adjustable armrest position-In a preferred embodiment, two armrests are interconnected, so that the adjustment of one armrest also adjusts the other. In this embodiment, the preferred configuration is that only the upper rod 6 2 5 is on one arm, that is, the right arm rests on the ratchet surface 645 and the auxiliary ratchet 640, and the other, in this example, the left arm, only the lower rod 6 3 0 has ratchet surfaces 6 5 5 and auxiliary ratchet teeth 6 5 0. In this embodiment, there are two ratchet mechanisms (one for the upper lever and the other for the lower lever) between the two arms, which cooperate with each other to control the positioning of the arms. Figure 17 provides an equivalent view of a pair of armrests, with the upper and lower rods interconnected. Specifically, the armrest 600 is supported by an upper rod 625 and a lower rod 630. In the seat back support arm 1 1 3, the upper rod 6 2 5 and the lower rod 6 3 0 can be engaged with or disengaged from the positioning mechanism. The upper rod 6 2 5 is interconnected by a connecting rod 6 3 7 and the lower rod 6 3 0 is interconnected by a connecting rod 6 3 3.

In this embodiment, the repositioning of one arm does not affect the positioning of the other. Figure 19 provides an equivalent view of a pair of armrests, with the upper rod 625 interconnected. In this embodiment, the repositioning of one arm is transferred by the connecting rod 637 to the repositioning of the other arm. In another embodiment, the connecting rod 637 may include conventional means for attaching or detaching from the rod, such as a slider or a set of screws. In this embodiment, the user may choose to adjust one armrest to adjust the other when using the connecting rod, or to adjust one armrest independently of the other when the connecting rod is disengaged. Figures 23 and 3 show a further aspect of the invention, which can be incorporated into a recliner chair or any chair with a back support 1 1 3 and a separate seat back 1 1 2 according to the invention. ^ In this embodiment, the track 900 is installed on the front side of the seat back support 1 13. The seat back 112 has a pair of trolleys moving on these tracks 900. In addition, the track 900 or the trolley 910 has a conventional locking mechanism for fixing the position of the trolley 910 on the track 900. A useful conventional locking mechanism ratchet mechanism allows the trolley 9100 to clamp the rod, bolt mechanism on the track 9 00, and a mechanism in which pins are inserted to fix the trolley position. In a particular embodiment of the trolley 910 and the track 900, the trolley 910 also has a traditional pivot mechanism so that the seat back 1 1 2 can be slightly rotated around this pivot, and further adjustments can be provided to better support the use of the chair By. Such an embodiment is shown in Fig. 23A. In order to fix the trolley 910 in place, the lever 920 is fixed to the trolley 910.

Description of the invention () It can be installed on the pole 920 at one time. Conversely, when the rod 920 is pushed and the pin 930 is withdrawn from the slot 940, the trolley 910 can move up and down along the track 900, and then when the rod 9 20 returns to its engaged position, the pin 930 enters another new slot 940 And lock the seat back 1 1 2 in position. A spring can be used to force the rod 920 into the joint. In addition, the seat 1 1 1 or a conventional seat plate directly below the seat 1 1 1 can be mounted on a pair of trolleys and moved along a track provided on the top of the seat support 1 1 9. It is best that the trolley also has a traditional device to fix the trolley on the track position. In addition, it is desirable that such tracks have stops at each end to prevent the trolley from moving beyond the end of the track. Since the seat 1 1 1 is placed on such a track mechanism, the user can be provided with another device to ensure that the chair conforms to the geometric shape of the user's body and vice versa. Figures 23 to 33 show another mechanism for armrests, which can be added to the adjustable armrest of the present invention, or added to a traditional armrest to make the armrest pivotally reposition horizontally. For example, as shown in Figure 24, the armrest 600 can pivot inward or outward. This additional pivoting of the armrest allows the user to rest the arm under the user's forearm when performing a task such as typing on a keyboard. As a result, the chair provides more support to the user and is therefore believed to be less tired when using the chair. Referring to Figure 25, there is shown an embodiment of a pivoting arm rest without a padding top 800. At the beginning of the back of the armrest 6 0, a U-shaped hook base 8 1 0 is fixed on the rods 625 and 630 to support the armrest 600. A pivot pin in the U-hook base 810 allows the armrest 600 to rotate about the pin 805.

In addition, in order to prevent the free pivoting of the armrest 600, the armrest also has a rod 8 2 5 which has a groove so that the pointer arm 820 can be locked thereon. The cam follower 840, the cam cutout 84 5 and the slide lock-release controller 8 3 5 cooperate to lock in place (or swing freely). When the slide lock-release controller 8 3 5 is in the position shown, the spring 830 forces the lever 82 5 to drive toward the pointer arm 820 and locks the pivot arm 600 in place. However, when the slide lock-release controller 8 3 5 slides into its alternate position, the cam follower 840 is placed in the alternate position in the cam cutout 845, so that the tension of the spring 8 3 0 to the lever 8 2 5 is Release, thus moving the pointer arm 8 20 into a different groove. If the cam follower 840 is left in its restrained position, the lock lever 8 2 5 is disengaged and the armrest 600 can move freely. In another preferred embodiment of the pivot arm, the distance between adjacent grooves represents a pivot of about 5 °. Therefore, if there are six grooves, the arm can pivot about 30 ° with 600.
