Definitions

  • the chairs illustrated in that specification are each braced in the lateral, namely side to side, sense of the chair frame, partly by two foldable X-frames.
  • One of these X-frames constitutes a bottom frame of the chair frame whereas the other X-frame constitutes the back frame of the chair.
  • the two X-frames are pivotally interconnected by connections at their adjacent corners and by upright side frames which flank the X-frames.
  • the X-frames when being folded, elongate in a sense away from their adjacent corners, but can be held in a laterally extended condition by interpivotted struts which themselves can be locked in an extended condition. These struts also contribute to bracing of the chair frame in the side to side sense. This mode of bracing is very satisfactory.
  • a second known chair frame is disclosed in Spanich Utility Model No. ES-U-222 387 which comprises:
  • two base members which are pivotally interconnected to form a laterally collapsible X-frame in which the opposite ends of the two base members provide front and back corners of the X-frame;
  • two back members which are disposed on coplanar axes and respectively extend upwardly from pivotal connections at the back corners of the X-frame;
  • two lower brace members respectively pivoted, at their lower ends, to the front corners of the X-frame;
  • two upper brace members respectively pivoted, at their upper ends, to the upper ends of the back members;
  • two knuckle joints respectively connecting the two lower brace members to the two upper brace members so as to prevent folding of the back members towards the X-frame when the chair frame is extended with the lower brace members respectively extending substantially colinearly with the upper brace members and the front or rear corners of the X-frame are held apart, but to allow the knuckle joints to move towards the back corners of the X-frame, thus permitting folding of the back members towards the X-frame when the back
  • the upper ends of the bracing X-frame cannot themselves be connected to pivot at fixed locations on the parallel chair back elements because the bracing X-frame, when being folded, must be allowed to elongate away from its lower ends at the back corners of the bottom X-frame, and this gives rise to the problem or reconciling the need to connect the upper ends of the bracing X-frame to the chair back elements and to permit elongation of the bracing frame during folding, with the desirability of optimum stiffening of the chair frame, in particular the chair back, in the side to side sense.
  • the bracing frame formed by unfolding the oblique struts should be of X-form, known per se, or of an X truncated to an inverted V-form, and the interconnection between the oblique struts locates a connection which comprises a pair of links, each such link being supported on a respective first pivot at one end of the link at a fixed location on a respective chair back element, the fixed location beng remote from the respective back corner of the bottom X-frame, and each such link being pivotally connected remote from the first pivot of the link, indirectly to the interconnection between the oblique struts.
  • the hereinbefore described second known chair frame also has a pair of equal seat back elements of rigid elongate form arranged between the side frames, each such seat back element having an upper end and a lower end, one such seat back element being pivoted by its lower end on one of the seat support elements, and the other such seat back element being pivoted by its lower end on the other seat support element, there being a second pair of oblique struts provided for bracing the seat back elements in the side to side sense when in an extended condition, the second pair of oblique struts having an interconnection about which to pivot relatively to each other and being arranged to unfold to supply a second bracing frame of X-form which extends between the side frames, the interconnection between the second pair of oblique struts being located in a fixed position in relation to the seat back elements when the chair frame is in an extended condition, the second pair of oblique struts thereby being located so that the struts thereof are inclined in opposite senses to each other and ob
  • a chair frame including a seat back bracing frame comprising two substantially identical parallelogram linkages each formed by respective struts pivotally connected to respective back rest members and to a common member disposed parallel to the back rest members, the common member forming a guide for a slide arranged to limit movement of the parallelogram linkages.
  • the prior art provides for a controlled operation of the parallelogram linkages but is complicated in construction in that a projection is required on the common member of the linkages.
  • the invention on the other hand eliminates any need for a projection at an intermediate position on the common member. (Claim 1).
  • ES-U-218 518 which discloses another form of seat frame does not disclose a seat arrangement movable between forward and rearward positions in which the back rest members have lower ends which are respectively pivoted to two seat side members, which overlie the two seat support members, each seat side member being connected to the seat support member which it overlies by at least two equal length parallel links which together with the seat side members and the seat support member together form a parallelogram linkage so that when the upper ends of the back rest members are in their lower positions, the seat side members may be moved from a rearward to a forward position, as in the present invention. (Claim 3).
  • the objects of this invention are to provide a foldable chair frame which alleviates the above- mentioned difficulties.
  • a chair frame of elongate rigid members which are interpivotted and foldable into a compact bundle in which the rigid members extend substantially parallel to each other, the chair frame comprising; two base members which are pivotally interconnected to form a laterally collapsible X-frame in which the opposite ends of the two base members provide front and back corners of the X-frame; two back members which are disposed on coplanar axes and respectively extend upwardly from pivotal connections at the back corners of the X-frame; two lower brace members respectively pivoted, at their lower ends, to the front corners of the X-frame; two upper brace members respectively pivoted, at their upper ends, to the upper ends of the back members; two knuckle joints respectively connecting the two lower brace members to the two upper brace members so as to prevent folding of the back members towards the X-frame when the chair frame is extended with the lower brace members respectively extending substantially colinearly with the upper brace members and the front or rear corners
  • the slide may be pivotally connected to one end of two obliquely disposed supporting members having their other ends connected to back members adjacent respective back corners of the X-frame.
  • a chair frame of elongate rigid members which are interpivotted and foldable into a compact bundle in which the rigid members extend substantially parallel to each other, the chair frame comprising; two base members which are pivotally interconnected to form a laterally collapsible X-frame in which the opposite ends of the two base members provide front and back corners of the X-frame; two back members which are disposed on coplanar axes and respectively extend upwardly from pivotal connections at the back corners of the X-frame; two lower brace members respectively pivoted, at their lower ends, to the front corners of the X-frame; two upper brace members respectively pivoted, at their upper ends, to the upper ends of the back members; two knuckle joints respectively connecting the two lower brace members to the two upper brace members so as to prevent folding of the back members towards the X-frame when the chair frame is extended with the lower brace members respectively extending substantially colinearly with the upper brace members and the front or rear corners of
  • the upper ends of the back rest members may extend through the space between the two back members when supported in their lower positions, but are disposed in front of the two back members when supported in their upper positions.
  • This embodiment of the invention has the advantage that it provides a foldable chair in which there are means for supporting a person in either the sitting or reclining position without substantially moving the position of the centre of gravity of the person relative to the base of the chair frame.
  • the folding push-chair is supported on wheels 10 and is constructed of elongate rigid members which are interpivotted and foldable into a compact bundle.
  • the push-chair frame comprises a bottom X-frame 11 which extends in a plane from back to front of the chair.
  • the members 11 a of the X-frame 11 are interconnected by a central pivot pin 11 b and the frame 11 is foldable in the plane mentioned.
  • the chair further comprises a pair of identical side frames whose planes extend upwardly.
  • the side frames are pivotally interconnected with respective front corners 11 c and respective back corners 11 dof the bottom X-frame 11, for pivoting and folding about the front and back corners 11 c and 11 d, respectively, in the back to front sense.
  • Each of the side frames comprises a chair back member 12 which extends upwardly away from a back corner 11d member 12 of one side frame being coplanar with the member 12 of the other side frame.
  • Each side frame further comprises a pair of interpivotted bracing members, namely a lower brace member 13 and an upper brace member 14, and a seat supporting member 15.
  • the brace members 13 and 14 of each side frame slope upwardly and back between the respective front corner 11 c of the bottom X-frame 11 and the upper end of the respective chair back member 12.
  • the members 13 and 14 are interconnected by a knuckle joint 16.
  • Each upper brace member 14 has an extension to provide a pair of handles 19 for pushing the chair, or for carrying it folded.
  • Each seat support member 15 extends between the respective back corner 11 d of the X-frame 11, and the respective lower brace member 13, the member 15 being pivotally connected to the back corner 11 d
  • the member 15 is also connected to the member 13 by a pivot connection 15a located between the knuckle joint 16 and the pivot connections 17.
  • the member 15 in each side frame thereby ensures that folding of each side frame and of the bottom X-frame 11 takes place simultaneously.
  • Two pairs of locking struts 20 and 23, respectively connected by pivot pins 20a and 26, have their opposite ends pivotally connected to spaced portions of the back members 12 by pivot pins 20b and 25 and are interconnected by means of a guide link 24 to form a laterally collapsible bracing frame 60 consisting of two identical parallelogram linkages.
  • Stop means are provided in the form of a slider 22, which is able to slide up and down guide link 24, and two supporting struts 21 which are pivotally connected to the slider 22 and to the pivots 20b to support the slider 22 relative to the back members 12 so that the two pairs of locking struts 20 and 23 are simultaneously movable into and out of an overcentre locking condition in which the frame members are held apart with the push-chair in its extended condition, as shown in Figure 1 and 2.
  • a knob 20c can be provided on the pivot pin 20a for foot operation of the laterally collapsible bracing frame 60.
  • Figure 4 shows the laterally collapsible bracing frame 60 in an extended condition, the slider 22 being adjacent to the locking struts 23.
  • Figure 6 shows the laterally collapsible bracing frame 60 partially collapsed and the slider 22 spaced from the locking struts 23.
  • An auxiliary pair of centre-locking or overcentre-locking struts 27 interpivotted at 27a is pivotally connected by its outer end to the upper brace members 14, between the handles 19 and the pivot connections 18, in order to stiffen and secure the upper part of the chair frame.
  • the struts 27 are shown extended in Figure 4, for example, and partially folded in Figure 6.
  • the front corners 11 c of the bottom X-frame 11 are tied by a flexible strap 28 which provides a footrest.
  • the push-chair also includes a sheet of fabric which is supported by two seat side members 29a and by two back rest members 29b respectively connected to the seat side members 29a by means of pivot pins 30 and brackets 30a attached to the seat side members 29a.
  • the back rest members 29b are thereby inclinable in a sense parallel to the side frames when the chair is in extended condition.
  • the members 29b are primarily for stiffening and controlling reclining of a fabric seat back 31 of a fabric seat 32 extending between the seat support members 15 and fastened to the seat side members 29a, but also contribute to stiffening the chair frame in the side to side sense, particularly be resisting forces imposed in that sense by an infant seated in the chair.
  • each seat side member 29a is pivotally connected to a respective seat supporting member 15 by means of six identical links 50, the rearmost four of which are attached to opposite sides of the rearmost end of the seat member 29a. It is thereby possible to swing the seat side members 29a between rearward and forward positions, respectively shown in Figures 1 and 2 in which they rest on the seat supporting members 15. This allows the seat side members 29a to be moved forwardly when the back rest members 29b are lowered, as shown in Figure 2, so that when the back rest members 29b are lowered, the centre of gravity of a child reclining on the fabric sheet supported by the seat members 29a and the back rest members 29b remains substantially midway between the front and rear wheels 10.
  • the seat back rest members 29b are braced in the side to side sense by a second X-frame 70 which extends between the side frames.
  • the second X-frame comprises a pair of intersecting members 33 having a pivot pin 34 about which to pivot relatively to one another.
  • the lower ends of the second X-frame 70 are connected by pivots 35 at fixed locations on the back rest members 29b themselves.
  • the second X-frame 70 also has a connection at its upper ends which allows these ends to pivot in relation to the members 29b, but this connection is indirect, being by means of a pair of seat back links 36.
  • pivot pin 34 needs a slightly oversize hole in which to operate, because the pivot pin 34 moves perceptibly eccentrically in relation to the hole during folding and unfolding of the push-chair.
  • Each link 36 is connected to a respective back rest member 29b by a first pivot pin 37 at the outer end of the link at an upper fixed location on the member 29b remote from the lower fixed location of pivot pin 35 on the same member.
  • the links 36 are interconnected by a second pivot pin 38.
  • Each of the upper ends of the second X-frame 70 is connected to a respective link 36 by a third pivot pin 39 between the first pivot pin 37 which supports the link 36 on the respective back rest member 29b, and the second pivot pin 38 which interconnects the links 36.
  • Each link 36 is thus pivotally connected indirectly through the respective pivot pin 39 to the interconnection provided by the pivot pin 34.
  • the interconnection provided by the pivot pin 34 locates the links 36 and is fixed in relation to each pivot pin 35 and each member 29b when the push-chair is sustained in an extended condition by the locking struts 20 and 23.
  • the two links 36 are respectively formed with an optional extension 36a and 36b, as shown in Figure 5, which extend beyond the second pivot 38, the extensions 36a and 36b of each link overlapping the other link when the links 36 are in an extended condition, one of the link extensions 36a engaging in a gap 40 formed between the other link and the respective upper end of one of the members 33 of the second X-frame 70.
  • the second pivot pin 38 which interconnects the links 36 is disposed above a horizontal line between each of the third pivot pins 39 so that, without manipulation, folding of the second X-frame 70 will accompany folding of the rest of the push-chair.
  • the members 33 of the second X-frame 70 and the links 36 are preferably of stiff plastics strip so that they will fold compactly.
  • the heads of the pivot pins 34, 35 and 37 to 39 can be seated in countersunk depressions.
  • the upper ends of the back rest members 29b are tied to the chair back elements 12 by a pair of rigid links 41 (see Figure 9) which can be manipulated to sustain the members 29b in a forward position as in Figure 1 and in a reclined position as shown in Figure 2.
  • the links 41 are arranged between and adjacent to the side frames.
  • Each link 41 is formed at one end with a hole for receiving a first pivot pin 43 on respective member 29b and with a slot 44 which extends along the link 41 from the other end thereof.
  • the slot 44 receives a second pivot pin 45 carried by a bracket 12a mounted on the respective member 12.
  • One end of each pivot pin 45 is screw threaded and fitted with an internally screw threaded knob 45a.
  • the knobs 45a are first loosened, to allow the links 41 to rotate about the pivot pins 45 and to allow the slots 44 to slide along the pivot pins 45.
  • the seat side members 29a are then swung forward on the links 50 and, finally, the back rest members 29b are lowered and the knobs 45a are re-tightened.
  • the reverse procedure may be adopted to return the push-chair to the arrangement shown in Figure 1. However, in this case, it is possible to return the seat side members 29a to their rear position before raising the back rest members 29b.
  • the auxiliary strut pair 27 is unlocked with one hand, the knob 20c kicked up to unlock the lower strut pair 20 and, by consequential upward thrusting movement of the guide link 24 on pivot pin 26, to cause locking struts 23 to fold.
  • Such movement of the guide link 24 is in relation to the slider 22 which disengages from the locking struts 23.
  • the oblique struts 21 pivot on the slider 22 and on the back corners 11 b of the bottom X-frame 11 with consequential folding of the pair of oblique struts 21.
  • the chair frame is unfolded by reversal of the above procedure and finally locked by the pairs of struts 20, 23 and 27.
  • the chair back members 12 carry the rear pairs of wheels 10.
  • the construction shown could be modified by extending the seat support members 15 rearwards beyond the back corners 11 Q and mounting the rear pairs of wheels 10 suitably on the rearward extensions of the members 15, the lower ends of the chair back members 12 would terminate at the back corners 11 d.
  • the push-chair shown in figures 10 to 13 differs from that shown in Figures 1 to 9 in that the rigid links 41 are in the form shown in detail in Figure 12.
  • Each link 41 is formed at one end with a hole 42 for receiving a first pivot pin 43 on the respective back rest member 29b and with an L-slot 44 which extends along the link 41 from the other end thereof.
  • the slot 44 receives a second pivot pin 45 on the respective chair back member 12.
  • the foot 58 of the slot 44 is located adjacent to the other end of the link 41 formed with the hole 42, and is directed upwardly so that the link 41 can pivot about the first pivot pin 43 and engage the second pivot pin 45 by the foot 58 of the slot 44.
  • the back rest members 29b are thereby maintained in the forward position.
  • the back rest members 29b are released for movement into the reclined position by pivoting each link 41 upwards individually by hand about the first pivot pin 43, thereby disengaging the foot 58 of the slot 44 from the pivot pin 45.
  • the pivot pin 43 approaches and then passes underneath the pivot pin 45 as the back rest members 29b move from the forward position shown in Figure 10 to the reclined position shown in Figure 11, finally coming to rest when the pivot pins 43 and 45 become separated by the full extent allowed by the L-slot 44.
  • the collapsible bracing frames 70 shown in Figure 4 and Figure 13 may be replaced by either of the bracing frames of X-form shown diagrammatically in Figures 14 and 15, to which the same reference numerals are applied to the bracing frame and links to indicate the correspondence.
  • the seat back links 36' in Figures 14 and 15 are shorter than the seat back links 36 in Figure 4 or Figure 13, the links 36' merely connecting the pivots 37, 39'.
  • the bracing frame 70 comprising intersecting members 33 located on pivot pin 34, has two upper ends and each of links 36' is connected to a respective upper end of the bracing frame by a pivot 39'.
  • Figure 15 shows one pivot 39' tied to the corresponding pivot 39' at the upper end of the bracing frame 70 by an auxiliary pair of interpivotted links 46 extending between the ends of the bracing frame.
