Description
CHAIR SEAT SLIDING AND LOCKING MECHANISM
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
100011 The present invention relates to a chair seat sliding and locking mechanism and, more particularly, to a mechanism for reliably locking a chair seat in a desired position.
[00021 Conventional leisure chairs permitting position adjustment for sitting and lying generally include a rod fixed on a base. A locking mechanism is slidably mounted on the rod and is coupled with a chair seat. The chair seat can be moved through adjustment, and the locking mechanism can move along the rod. When the chair seat reaches a desired position, the locking mechanism and the rod are fixed to position the chair seat. The backrest is also moved together with the chair seat, such that the sitting angle or lying angle can be adjusted.
100031 Conventional locking mechanisms are generally fixed by turning a knob to press against the rod, which is inconvenient and not always reliable in positioning if the knob is not rotated to a tightened state. Furthermore, when the knob is turned loose, the backrest in a reclined state is liable to recline to its maximum reclining angle under the gravitational force, leading to inconvenient adjustment in the angular position.
100041 In an arrangement to overcome the above disadvantages, a positioning device includes a clamping seat, a positioning block, an adjusting rod, and a coupling mechanism. The clamping seat can move together with a chair seat and includes a hole receiving a fixed rod on the chair seat. The clamping seat further includes first and second clamping members movable relative to each other between an open state and a clamping state. The positioning block is mounted on the clamping seat. The adjusting rod is coupled to a side of the positioning block by the coupling mechanism.
Thus, the adjusting rod can pivot to move the first and second clamping members to the open state, permitting the chair seat and the clamping seat to slide along the fixed rod.
When the seat reaches the desired position, the adjusting rod is pivoted to move the first and second clamping members to the clamping state, thereby locking the clamping seat and the chair seat in place. An example of this arrangement is disclosed in U.S. Patent No.
7,735,925.
[0005] However, the adjusting rod displaces when the chair seat and the clamping seat move, such that the hand of a user cannot control the adjusting rod according to the habitual position. Furthermore, when the clamping seat is moved to a front position permitting the user to lie down, the user may have to get up to grip the adjusting rod that has moved to the front position, causing inconvenience in use.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0006] An aspect of the present invention is to provide a chair seat sliding and locking mechanism providing improved operational convenience and improved locking stability.
According to another aspect of the invention, there is provided a chair seat sliding and locking mechanism comprising:
a positioning tube configured to be mounted to a rod of a base of a chair having a chair seat, wherein the positioning tube is rotatable relative to the rod but is not slidable relative to the rod along a longitudinal axis of the rod, and wherein the positioning tube includes a positioning portion;
a sliding seat including a coupling portion coupled with the chair seat, permitting joint movement of the sliding seat and the chair seat, wherein the coupling portion includes a receiving portion having a receiving hole with a catching portion, wherein the positioning tube is received in the receiving hole, wherein when the positioning tube is rotated relative to the rod to a first position in which the positioning portion disengages from the catching portion, the sliding seat is movable along the positioning tube, and wherein when the .. positioning tube is rotated relative to the rod to a second position in which the positioning portion engages with the catching portion, the sliding seat is fixed relative to the positioning tube.
