Definitions
- the invention relates to a seat with a seat part mounted on a support frame with seat mechanism and a backrest arranged above the rear section thereof, the seat part and / or the backrest being displaceable back and forth.
- the position of the seat part is shifted over fixed elements of a support frame, for example a standpipe, the seat area remaining the same size.
- the distance to the backrest can also be changed.
- the invention has for its object to provide a seat of the type mentioned, in which the adaptation to a user is more flexible.
- This object is achieved with the features of claim 1.
- the seat part and the backrest can be displaced relative to one another, the rear section of the seat part being able to be displaced through or under the backrest and projecting beyond it to the rear.
- the effective size of the seat surface between the backrest and the front edge of the seat part changes.
- the size of the seat surface can be adapted to users of different sizes or different seating situations, with a continuous seat surface up to the backrest being always retained.
- the seat part is displaceable and lockable in a sliding guide of the seat mechanism, while the backrest is mounted immovably on the support frame, or that the backrest is mounted displaceably and lockable on the seat mechanism, while the seat part is fixed on the support frame is.
- the seating comfort is supported by the fact that on the seat part of the seat surface facing pool edge supports are arranged, which are held in the seating area near the adjacent lower backrest section during the displacement of the seat part.
- the arrangement of the pool edge supports is favored in that coupling pieces between the support frame and the pool edge supports are guided through slots running in a base part of the seat part in the sliding direction.
- the contour of the seat is further improved in that the seat part has an upholstery on its upper side and that the pool edge supports under the upholstery under a sliding surface e.g. are made of leather or suitable plastic material.
- the side of the pool edge supports facing the base part is also designed to slide smoothly.
- the Fig. Shows a section of a seat 1, in particular an office chair with its essential parts here, seat part 2, backrest 3 and support frame 4 with seat mechanism in cross section.
- the seat part 2 is provided on a bowl-shaped base part 2.2 with a padding 2.1.
- a sliding mechanism is arranged on the seat mechanism of the support frame 4, with which the seat part 2 can be moved back and forth relative to the support frame 4 and can be locked in a desired position.
- the rear section of the seat part 2 pierces the backrest 3 in its lower section or, depending on the connection thereof to the support frame 4 or the seat mechanism, runs under the backrest 3. Both in the most advanced pushed as well as the most retracted position remains a continuous seat between the front edge of the seat part 2 and the lower portion of the backrest 3.
- contour elements are arranged laterally above the base part 2.2 in the area of the seat near the lower section of the backrest 3, which are guided by means of coupling pieces 5.1 in the form of two screw domes through slots provided in the base part 2.2 and extending in the direction of displacement and with the support frame 4 or the seat mechanism are connected.
- the pelvic edge supports 5 remain in a fixed position with respect to the support frame 4 and thus move relative to the seat part 2 under the upholstery 2.1.
- a suitable sliding guide for the pool edge supports 5 is formed between the upholstery 2.1 and the upper side of the base part 2.2.
- the seat part 2 it can also be held relative to the support frame 4 on the seat mechanism and instead the backrest 3 can be displaceably mounted on the seat mechanism.
- a displaceable mounting of both the seat part 2 and the backrest 3 on the seat mechanism of the support frame 4 is also conceivable, e.g. the seat part 2 and the backrest 3 are moved when moving in opposite directions.
