Description

The invention relates to a bionic and posture-correcting desk and chair, and more particularly to a bionic and posture-correcting desk and chair for primary or middle school students.
Nowadays, an increasing number of primary school students and middle school students are suffering from short-sight and hunchback. Thus, to develop a posture-correcting backrest for study is a consensus and requirement from people all over the world.
There are many causes for such unhealthy tendency and the results are serious. From the perspective of school hygiene, "forward sitting position" is defined if a person's upper body gravity is right on or in the front of the ischiatic tuberosity, where the balance is maintained by the back muscles and thighs. "Backward sitting position" is defined if a person's upper body gravity is behind the ischiatic tuberosity, where the back must be against the backrest. It is apparent that the forward sitting position is likely to cause fatigue while the backward sitting position is not. However, students are fond of using the forward sitting position to study by bending over the desks. From the perspective of the physiology, when your line of sight is perpendicular to the object you are looking at, the image projected onto your retina is the clearest. It is called the "physiological visual angle". Therefore, the students have to look down for the clearest image. From the perspective of the biology, human bones are made up of hard and fragile inorganic composition and flexible organic composition. The physical properties of bones are hardness and flexibility. The content of different composition and the physical properties of bones vary with age. For example, teenagers' bones are less hard but more flexible and elastic; therefore they are unlikely to be fractured but likely to be deformed. If students do not pay more attention on their sitting position when they study, they would suffer from hunchback, scoliosis or short-sight. Liu Zhiming, the attending physician in Beijing Puren Hospital (previously Beijing No. 4 Hospital), finds out after many years research that if teenagers pay less attention on their sitting position when they study, they are more likely to suffer from fatigue, short-sight and hunchback. An even more serious consequence is that they are at considerably higher risk of contracting cervical spondylosis after growing up.
However, this unhealthy phenomenon has not been deeply realized. On the one hand, students like to use the forward sitting position to study by bending over the desks, they have not been aware of the function of the backward sitting position. On the other hand, some students partially lay great emphasis on backward sitting position, they have not been aware of the importance of the forward sitting position and not recognized such position can be necessary and corrected. But in fact, if there is no "forward sitting position", Chinese traditional brush cannot be used properly. The backward sitting position, as a sitting position contrary to the forward sitting position, also has the problem that students study by bending over the desks. In addition, the forward sitting position and the backward sitting position, as two basic positions, can be freely switched. During the switch, there are other optional positions because people cannot sit with only one position. All the positions are contributable to correct sitting, reading, writing, and listening, i.e. a fist distance between chest and edge of desk and a foot from eyes to books. In this way, the fingertip can be an inch from the pen point while the head and body can remain straight.
To solve the above problems, some measures have been taken but with poor results. With respect to the backrest, related devices have been invented to prevent short-sight and hunchback. Chinese Pat. App. No. CN02354452 discloses a healthy desk and chair for study whose desk is fixed and the rear part thereof is tilted. However, the space between the desk and chair is difficult to adjust and even if the space is well adjusted, it is troublesome for a user how to get out from the desk and chair. Chinese Pat. App. No. CN03330221 discloses a chair whose legs are disposed with wheels, which is conducive to adjusting the space between the desk and chair but the wheels is inconvenient for turn on/off. Chinese Pat. App. No. CN03238636.2 discloses a novel desk and chair for prevention and treatment of myopia and humpback. The desk and chair has a backrest connected to a beam via a chin pad. An upper and lower adjustable columns are flexibly connected with the rear of the desk and slightly tilted backward. However, when users sit on the chair and leans against the backrest, the desk will shakes. Meanwhile, the alteration of sitting position is very difficult and the height of the device cannot be modified. Chinese Pat. App. No. CN03275800 discloses a desk and chair for study, in which the space between the desk and chair is adjustable. However, the desk does not have a sternal plate and users tend to study lying on the desk. Furthermore, the height of the device cannot be modified. French Pat. Appl. Publ. No. 683719A discloses a set of a school desk and a chair. The desktop of the desk is moveable and the height of the desk is adjusted by two plates which move in the vertical direction. The space between the desk and the chair is adjusted by sliding the desk and the chair on a track. However, the desk and the chair do not prevent users from being able to bend over the desktop.
The above devices have effects to some extent but still have the following problems. The conventional adjustable support is the sternal plate. The lower end of the sternal plate is not connected with the ventral plate and the abdomen is not supported. When students are in study, their waists are likely to bend and their bodies are likely to move downwards. In addition, under normal circumstances, sitting tools do not have backrests, if they have, the backrests are mostly fixed. Even if the backrests are moveable forwards and backwards, they are not fit with the conventional adjustable support, therefore, the external condition for study with the correct sitting position is not achieved
It is one objective of the invention to provide a bionic and posture-correcting desk and chair. It allows users to maintain the correct "forward sitting position" and "backward sitting position" or a sitting position therebetween all the time, and meanwhile the sitting positions which are comfortable and unlikely to cause fatigue can be easily adjusted or changed.
To achieve the above objective, in accordance with the invention as defined in the appended claims, there is provided a bionic and posture-correcting desk and chair, comprising a separate or combined desk and chair or stool, the bottom of desk legs being connected with a footrest and a chair back being connected between supports of the chair back, wherein at the upper and lower parts of the desk and chair are disposed with a posture-correcting device and a mechanism for fixing the posture-correcting device; the posture-correcting device is replaceable at will and allows users to maintain the correct "forward sitting position" and "backward sitting position" or a sitting position therebetween all the time, and a desktop lifting mechanism is disposed between the desktop and a desk drawer for adjustment of the height and inclination of the desktop.
The desktop lifting mechanism is a lifting mechanism disposed between a desktop and a bookrack for synchronous lifting and lowering the desktop and bookrack. The lifting mechanism comprises a vertical slot disposed at the relative inner sides of the desk's left and right front legs. The relative inner sides of the upper ends of the left and right supports are attached by a vertical plate. The supports connect the vertical plate and its two ends are moveable up and down the vertical slot and the inner legs.

For the posture-correcting device and the mechanism for fixing the posture-correcting device, at least one footrest is disposed at the place where the height-unadjustable desk and chair legs are flatly placed. The footrest is directly or indirectly placed on the ground or the track or covered in the desk layer cover to float above the connecting bracket.
The footrest is disposed on a height-adjustable desk and chair having signal left and right legs. The width of the footrest is the width of the desk legs and the footrest is fixed on the desk legs. Alternatively, the footrest is disposed on a height-unadjustable desk and fixed on the desk legs. The rear ends of the chair beams are moveably connected with the lower ends of the chair back supports. Between the lower portions of the chair beams and chair bases are connected with lower chair legs. The lower ends of the upper chair legs are inserted in the upper ends of the lower chair legs on the chair beams and fixed. The desk and chair legs comprise upper legs and lower legs and the upper ends of the two lower legs are connected together as a whole. The lower ends of the two upper legs that are connected under the desk box and the chair beam are respectively inserted in the upper ends of the lower legs and fixed. The rear end of the chair beam is moveably connected with the lower end of the chair back support. The opposite outer sides of the front ends of chair armrests are respectively connected with an armrest plate. The armrest plate is moveably connected with a moveable tube outwards. The movable tube comprises an external tube and an internal tube. The front end of the internal tube is moveably connected with the armrest plate and the rear end of the external tube is moveably connected with the chair back supports. The front end and the bottom of the external tube are reversely disposed with a spring bolt. The spring bolt fits with the positional adjustment holes at the front lower portion of the internal tube. The rear section of the internal tube is disposed with an aperture. The aperture moveably cooperates with an adjustable slot under the rear section of the external tube. The chair back is moveable back and forth or fixed. In addition, if the chair has four legs disposed at four sides, the chair having the chair base disposed between the left and right chair legs can be placed on the desk footrest having a leg cover opening and a leg cover aperture.
The desk and chair legs are disposed with layer covers. The width of the layer cover is the length between the front and rear legs of the desk and chair and the length of the layer cover is the length between the left and right legs. The layer cover is connected with the gap of one layer or multiple layers of at least two strips. The outer sides of the left and right ends of the transversal layer cover, or the front and rear or one end of the longitudinal layer cover are separately connected with a baffle. The strips are directly connected with the legs or the vertical plate having the same width as the two legs. The left and right sides of the vertical plate cover the other two sides of the legs to form a recess/square tube/circular tube layer cover, which is fixed to the legs by the bolt (spring clamp) via the positional adjustment holes or moveably covered on the legs. A connecting plate is used to connect the two ends of the vertical plate. One end of the vertical plate is disposed with an aperture that fits with the corresponding boss of the footrest. A flat square is disposed under the chair or the footrest. Between the flat square and the vertical plate is disposed with a layer cover. The layer cover, the long-strip aperture or pin head are sheathed together.
Advantages of the invention are summarized below: 1. According to the bionic principle, the lower end of the single-column lower adjustable pillar, similar to the desk backrest sternal plate, extends to the lower part of the abdomen and the bottom of the desk box (desk box baseplate) from the chest to the desk edge. The fixed connection between the lower end of the lower adjustable pillar and the desk edge is changed to the moveable connection. The upper adjustable plate between the desk backrest sternal plate and the ventral plate is inserted in a transversal gap of the adjustable plate cover or the adjustable cover of the mounting plate. The lower adjustable plate moveably connected with the lower end of the sternal/ventral plate is directly or indirectly moveably connected with the desktop lifting mechanism and the bookrack lifting mechanism to make the desk and chair as a whole. The desk or the chair is disposed with a footrest. A chair back support adjustment mechanism and a chair back adjustment mechanism are disposed on the chair including the layer covers, tracks, desk and chair seats and foot button. The problem that students study by bending over the desks is solved by using such structure. If the user places his feet hardly on the footrest, the sternal/ventral plate and the chair back are against the chest, abdomen, waist and back. The user is clamped in the middle. He can bend over or lean behind at will. The desktop can be flat or inclined. The bookrack can be lifted with the desktop and remains the optimal distance and angle with eyes, therefore a reasonable space will be formed between the head, eyes, neck, chest, abdomen, waist, back, buttocks, elbows, legs, feet and the desk and chair. Users will always be at the correct "forward sitting position" or "backward sitting position" or any position in between. In addition, the position can be changed at will and students will not easily fatigue. It saves large amount of time for teaching and study. 2. The distance between the desk and the chair can be adjusted at will. Although it is the distance that is adjusted and controlled between the desk and the chair, the amount of inclination for forward and backward movement of the waist, back, chest and abdomen are indirectly controlled. Furthermore, the chair back and a sternal/ventral plate are supported and moveably connected. It is helpful to keep the waist, back, chest and abdomen straight, to allow the feet to place flat to be as wide as the shoulder. Users can easily meet the requirement for study with correct sitting positions. The space between the desk and the chair can be adjusted to be wide or narrow and users can bend over or lean behind. They are suitable for the nature of students; 3. The height of the desk and chair can be easily adjusted, especially with the application of the layer covers. Screwdrivers and wrenches are not required. It overcomes the drawbacks that tall users need to bend over and short users cannot reach. The set of desk and chair is suitable for users whether you are young or old. Only one set of the desk and chair is enough for a primary student, who can still use in high school. For a class, the desk and chair can be tailored for different students with different height. After using the desk and chair, the students will be at the same height; 4. By using the desk and chair provided by the invention is good for tidiness. The noises when moving the desk and chair is low. The chair box provided by the invention can hold more books. The desk and chair are moveable; it is easy for students to clean the floor, and 5. The bionic and posture-correcting desk and chair provided by the invention is applicable not only for families but schools. The effects are immediate. The structure is simple and it is easy to be popularized.

If the footrest is used as the footrest seat 58 and place the spring type footrest in a rectangular square (the length and width are defined by feet) in the middle of the footrest seat 58, the footrest under pressure will be parallel with the footrest seat 58. As an improvement, the layer covers and the spring type footrest can be combined together to be disposed in the desk and chair. The layer covers are placed in a layer box 68, which is connected with the upper portion of the spring type footrest. The spring type footrest is disposed on the chair base 9, which extends 1/2 or half of the chair length. The front and rear bottoms of the chair base 9 are respectively disposed with wheels 11 to fit with the desk that is either fixed to the ground or disposed on the connecting bracket 71. The layer cover between the left and right chair legs matches with the chair and the desk is applicable to a plurality of chairs. With respect to the layer box 68, the layer cover is mounted from the left and right sides of the footrest and the baffle is mounted at the rear end of the layer cover. The layer box 68 can be disposed on the connecting bracket 71 or the track 30. Use a hinge to connect the rear upper end of the layer box 68 to the front of the chair front legs of the connecting bracket 71. The front two upper ends of the layer box 68 extend to the left and right sides with a butt plate. The butt plate is either on the connecting bracket 71 or the track 30. The chair fits with the desk that is fixed on the connecting bracket 71. The chair is fixed at the rear of the connecting bracket 71. The desk whose front and rear legs are disposed with wheels 11 and desk base-tops 10 is placed on the connecting bracket 71 or the track 30. The relative outer lower ends of the desk legs are connected with the upper section of a flat bar 73. The relative inner lower ends of the lower section of the flat bar 73 are connected with the longitudinal layer cover 22 and float under the desk legs. The front and rear bottoms of the chair base 9 are respectively disposed with wheels 11 to fit with the desk that is fixed to the rear of the connecting bracket 71.
As shown in FIGS. 14-16, the lower portions of the desk legs are moveably disposed with a transversal or longitudinal layer cover 22. The underside of the bottom strip 23 of the transversal layer cover 22 is connected with the upper end of the columns 37 of the spring type footrest. The spring type footrest uses the two desk bases 9 whose front and rear sides are disposed with wheels 11 as the footrest seat 58. The desk footrest 20 that fits with the transversal layer cover 22 is disposed in a moveable cover 76. The width of the moveable cover 76 equals to the width between the front and rear sides (including the front and rear desk legs) of the transversal layer cover 22 and the length of the moveable cover equals to the length between the left and right desk legs. The inward recess at the opposite sides of the left and right moveable cover 76 is formed by vertical plates, upper/lower strips and front/rear baffles. The front of the recess is disposed with a convex plate 78 at the left and right legs. The convex plate is then equipped with a spring. Between the left and right desk legs, the rear of the recess is sheathed with the desk footrest 20 whose width equals to the length of the desk leg. The shaft passes through the aperture, the spring and the convex plate 78 that are in the recess of the desk footrest 20 to fix the desk footrest to the center of the front and rear baffles of the recess. The upper and lower portions of the front section of the recess are attached by the connecting plate 26 as a whole. Because the desk footrest 20 is extendable and the desk can move close to the chair, the leg cover opening 85 is not required. The middle of the two desk bases 9 and the connecting plate 26 in the middle of the desk bases 9 are disposed with a lock 79. An aperture 232 in the middle of the left and right sides of the long-strip plate 82 of the lock 79 is moveably connected with the corresponding portion of the connecting plate 26 and the aperture 232 is used as the centre of circle to the bottom of the strips 23 at the middle of the front and rear desk legs as an arc edge 81. From the aperture 232 on a long-strip plate 82 to one side of the chair at one end of the arc edge 81 is connected with an acute angle plate that is shorter from the aperture 232 to the arc edge 81. The other end of the acute angel plate (including the centre of circle to the long-strip plate 82) having the same length as the acute angle plate has a side edge facing downwards (90°). When a user kicks the side edge of the other end of the long-strip plate 82 by feet to make it engage with the side of one end of the connecting plate 26, the arc edge 81 at the two ends of the long-strip plate 82 is just under the left and right strips 23, and the lower end of the column 37 under pressure cannot reach to the ground. When a user kicks the side edge of the acute angle plate by feet to make it engage with the side of one end of the connecting plate 26, the arc edge 81 at the two ends of the long-strip plate 82 moves to the front and rear inner sides of the left and right strips 23, and the lower end of the columns 37 under pressure can reach to the ground. The upper portion of the chair legs are further equipped with the longitudinal layer cover 22 and the flat square 182. Furthermore, it is possible to make apertures at the front and rear of the bottom strip 23 to the chair. Then use a reversed T-shaped pin to fasten from bottom to top and rotate 90 degree to place the pin on a reversed hook at the L-shaped opening under the strip 23.

The chair box 12 comprises a cover plate, a bottom plate, left and right side plates 16, a rear block plate 74, and chair box door 140.
When the desktop is flat, the user is "clamped" in the middle of the desk backrest 21 and the chair back 17 to maintain the correct "forward sitting position" and "backward sitting position" or the sitting position in between at all times, and meanwhile the sitting positions can be easily adjusted or changed. The book placing board 115 can be pulled or pushed forwards or backwards and is moveable up and down the frame tube 111 together with the support tube 112. The book placing board 115 maintain the optimal distance and angle with eyes. At this point, the lower adjustable plate 99 is moveable along the step 105 of the secondary connecting plate 103. When the desk backrest 21 leans forwards to the maximum limit of the correct "forward sitting position", the lower adjustable plate 99 will fall from the step 105 to the flat plate 106 underneath. The end of the lower adjustable plate 99 will be against the front of the secondary connecting plate 103 at the front of the flat plate 106. At this point, it is the fixed and correct "forward sitting position". If the user uses the study position with the inclined desktop, when the user uses his elbows to press the elbow plate 6 and uses his abdomen to act on the sternal/ventral plate 178, the secondary connecting plate 103 will move forwards under the effect of the adjustable baseplate 89. The end of the secondary connecting plate 103 will be naturally placed in the inner side of the raised edge 104 of the adjustable baseplate 89 and against with each other. The front end of the lifting plate 102 will be gradually raised up and stop after it pushes the desktop to get the required inclined state. The support tube 112 is moveably connected with the frame tube 111 and goes up with front end of the lifting plate 102. The lower end of the book placing board 115 moves forwards on the desktop and remains the optimal distance and angle with eyes. The front end of the lower adjustable plate 99 is moveable along the flat plate 106 and the raised edge 104. At this point, the user can lean forwards or backwards with the desk backrest 21 and the chair back 17, and maintain the correct "forward sitting position" and "backward sitting position" or the sitting position in between at all times, and meanwhile the sitting positions which are comfortable and unlikely to cause fatigue can be easily adjusted or changed. It should be noted that during the process when the secondary connecting plate 103 moves towards on the desktop under the effect of the lower adjustable plate 99, the user can use his elbows to press the elbow plate 6 and uses his abdomen to push the sternal/ventral plate 178 to maintain balance. The desktop can be easily made with different inclined angles for correct "backward sitting position". If the user intends to use the study position with the flat desktop again, he can use his elbows to press the elbow plate 6 and use his abdomen to act on the sternal/ventral plate 178, and at the same time use one feet that is on the desk footrest 20 to kick the rear of the lower longitudinal plate 261 to enable the column 83 to push the secondary connecting plate 103 to the top of the raised edge 104 of the adjustable baseplate 89. Afterwards, when the users uses his elbows to press the elbow plate 6 to allow the desktop to slowly drop, he uses the chest to act on the sternal/ventral plate 178 of the desk backrest 21 to allow the desk backrest 21 to be back to the position for correct "forward sitting position". The desktop will be back to the flat position. The support tube 112 is sheathed with the frame tube 111 and perpendicularly drops with the desktop. The lower end of the book placing board 115 moves backwards and remains the optimal distance and angle with eyes. If the user intends to lean forwards or backwards, he can use his feet to kick the rear of the longitudinal plate 261 to allow the column 83 to pass through the aperture on the secondary connecting plate 103 and push the lower adjustable plate 99 from the flat plate 106 to the step 105 of the secondary connecting plate 103 under the condition that the end of the lower adjustable plate 99 is moveable on the step 105 of the secondary connecting plate 103. In this way, the user will always be at the correct "forward sitting position" or "backward sitting position" or any position in between, and meanwhile the sitting positions can be changed at will. If the user intends to change the distance between the desk and the chair or have a rest, what he needs to do is to raise his feet and push or pull the desk or chair once.
On the chair back support 18 is disposed with the chair back support adjustment mechanism. The chair back support adjustment mechanism divides the left and right chair back supports 18 into upper and lower chair back supports. The upper chair back support is covered in the lower chair back support. The relative inner sides of the upper ends of the two upper chair back supports are moveably connected with the chair back 17. The lower sections of the two upper chair back supports are fixed with a resilient adjustment pin The resilient adjustment pin is a resilient strip (piece) and is in a bended shape (or the circular bended shape). The end of the bended strip is disposed with 1-2 projected pins, passing through the aperture on the inner wall of the upper chair back support and fit with the positional adjustment holes of the lower chair back support. The two ends of the chair back 17 are moveably connected with the upper chair back support and can be adjusted up and down in the lower chair back support. When a user sits on the chair, he withdraws his feet, uses his hands to pull or push the desk or chair to the appropriate distance, allows his waist to lean against the chair back 17 and chest/abdomen lean against the sternal/ventral plate 178, uses his feet to stamp on the footrest hardly to allow the desk to be securely connected with the chair as a whole. Place the two elbows on the desktop or on the elbow plate 6, and place the chin on the chin pad of the desk backrest. When the user bend over or lean behind, the desk backrest 21 will move with the chair back 17 and the user will be "clamped" in the middle. It allows the user to maintain the correct "forward sitting position" and "backward sitting position" or the sitting position in between at all times, and meanwhile the sitting positions which are comfortable and unlikely to cause fatigue can be easily adjusted or changed. In addition, the book placing board 115 is adjustable back and forth to maintain the optimal distance and angle with eyes. At this point, the lower adjustable plate 99 is on the adjustable baseplate 89 to move back and forth. When a user leans forwards, the chin is on the chin pad and the neck becomes shorter. When the user lean backwards, the neck become longer. Consequently, the user is required to press the adjustment button on the desk backrest 21 when to change the sitting position. In that case, the adjustable support can be extended and the chin can be placed on the chin pad.
The middle portion of the desk footrest 20 is disposed with a foot button 235. The lower portion of the foot button 235 is connected with a foot block 174 by the springs 35. When the desk is unused, the springs 35 act on the foot block 174 to leave the ground to make the desk move. When the desk is in use, the springs 35 act on the foot block 174 to be tightly against the ground because feet are placed on foot button 235. Alternatively, the above structure can also be used for chair footrest 320.
The desk backrest 21 used in the invention can also be replaced by the bionic and posture-correcting backrest for study described in the patent 2009201681014 .
