Back For Seating Unit

View page
US Patent:
20010043003, Nov 22, 2001
Filed:
Aug 2, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/920870
Inventors:
Glenn Knoblock - Kentwood MI, US
Arnold Dammermann - Grand Rapids MI, US
Larry DeKraker - Holland MI, US
Kevin Ekdahl - Chicago IL, US
Kurt Heidmann - Grand Rapids MI, US
Gardner Klaasen - Ada MI, US

Michael Yancharas - Comstock Park MI, US
International Classification:
A47C003/025
US Classification:
297/284400
Abstract:
A back for a seating unit, such as a chair, includes a back frame and a compliant back that is flexibly bendable to define different curvilinear shapes for sympathetically and ergonomically supporting a seated user's back. The back includes a bracket with forwardly-extending flanges pivotally connecting the compliant back to the back frame at a bottom connection generally aligned with a seated user's hip joint. The back also includes a top connection pivotally connecting the back to the back frame above the first connection. An adjustable torsional force-generating mechanism is connected to the first connection that biases a lumbar portion of the compliant back forward with respect to the chair. The top and bottom connections, in combination with the adjustable force generating mechanism, constrain the compliant back to move over a range that provides excellent ergonomic lumbar support to a seated user.

Abstract:
A chair is provided having a base assembly, a back assembly pivoted to the base assembly for movement between upright and reclined positions, and a seat slidably supported on the base assembly and pivoted to the back frame so that the seat moves forwardly and its rear moves forwardly and downwardly with the back frame upon recline. A flexible back is connected to the back frame at top and bottom locations and is provided with lumbar adjustment for improved lumbar force/support and shape. A seat is provided with seat depth adjustment and with active and passive thigh flex support. A novel energy mechanism is provided that includes a moment arm shift adjuster for adjusting the spring tension on the back frame. The moment arm shift adjuster is readily adjustable and includes an overtorque device to prevent damage to components of the energy mechanism.
