Definitions
- the present invention relates to a backrest tilting device. More specifically, the present invention relates to a structure of a backrest tilting device for connecting a backrest of a chair or a vehicle seat so as to be tiltable with respect to the seat.
- Background art
- FIG. 7 shows the backrest 101 and the occupant before and after rotating backward or tilting backward about the trochanter point P2 based on the above-described conventional technology, and the backrest 101 and the occupant drawn by the two-dot chain line show the backrest 101 and the occupant.
- the figure shows the state after leaning backward.
- the center of rotation C of the backrest 101 is made coincident with or near the trochanter point P2, which is the point where the upper body of the occupant bends with respect to the lower body, so that the occupant's
- the trajectory when the back tilts and the tilt trajectory of the backrest 101 almost coincide with each other to prevent a shift from occurring between the backrest 101 and the back of the seated occupant, and to wrinkle the clothes.
- the goal is to prevent things from happening and reduce back discomfort.
- the sciatic tuberosity 102 becomes In order to rotate about point P2 and to move forward and further below seating surface S101, as shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG. Strong pressure is applied to the buttocks, which may cause discomfort to the occupant.
- the rotation of the ischial tuberosity 102 around the trochanter point P2 is restricted by the seat surface S101, and the posterior rotation of the pelvis of the seated person is suppressed, and excessive lumbar lordosis is assisted. If the backbone of the occupant is warped for a long time, the burden on the back of the occupant may increase.
- a compression coil spring is generally used to return the tilted backrest to the initial position.
- a link mechanism that converts the rotational motion of the backrest into a linear motion and transmits the linear motion to the compression coil spring is required, which complicates the mechanism, increases the number of parts and the number of assembly units, and increases manufacturing costs.
- a rod-shaped torsion spring may be attached to the rotation axis of the backrest in order to directly use the change in the rotational position of the backrest to accumulate the restoring force.
- the present invention relates to a backrest tilting device for connecting a backrest so as to be tiltable with respect to a seat, wherein a center of rotation of the backrest coincides with a surface of the seat or a surface of the seat. Higher than the frontmost point in the vertical center of the surface of the backrest in the initial position, and the front of the trochanter point of the occupant sitting in the seat. It is set so that it is set near the side, on the side and near the side of the backrest.
- the position of the trochanter point in the above positional relationship refers to the position where a seated person of average or ideal physique is sitting very naturally.
- the position of the trochanter point is determined based on ergonomics, statistics, and the like, as disclosed in the above-described conventional technology.
- the point on the ischial tuberosity of the seated person who is sitting in a very natural posture is closest to the seat surface as the ischial node.
- the initial position of the backrest refers to the position of the backrest in a state V where no load for tilting the backrest is applied.
- the ischial node of the seated person is located closer to the seat surface and closer to the backrest surface than the trochanter point of the seated person. Therefore, the rotation center of the backrest set as described above is located at a position where the distance to the sciatic node is shorter than the distance to the trochanter point, in other words, near the ischial node or at the ischial node. It will be set to the matching position. Therefore, the ischial tuberosity of the seated person who rotates following the tilt of the backrest can be naturally tilted on the seat surface without sinking below the seat surface.
- the ischial tuberosity in which the weight of the seated person is concentrated, from being strongly pressed against the seating surface, and to reduce the surface pressure acting on the buttocks of the seated person from the seating surface.
- the ischial tuberosity naturally tilts on the seat surface, as the back of the occupant falls, the pelvis of the occupant naturally rotates backward with the sciatic node as a fulcrum. Accordingly, by preventing excessive lumbar lordosis, that is, by preventing the seated person's spine from being excessively warped, the burden on the seated person's lower back can be reduced.
- the center of rotation of the backrest is set near the ischial node without making the center of rotation of the backrest coincide with the ischial node
- the center of rotation of the backrest is set in front of the ischial node, that is, the seat. It is desirable to set the rotation center of the backrest behind the ischial node, that is, on the back side of the seated person, rather than on the side facing the person. If the center of rotation of the backrest is located in front of the ischial node, the ischial tuberosity will tend to move further below the seat when tilting the backrest backwards, so the ischial node will be pressed against the seat.
- Pressing force is applied to the buttocks of the seated person.By setting the center of rotation of the backrest behind the ischial node, it is possible to move the ischial node above the seat when tilting the backrest backward. As a result, the ischial tuberosity is prevented from being strongly pressed against the seating surface, and the pressure on the buttocks of the seated person can be reduced.
- the seat back is moved upward from both sides of the seat. It is preferable that the two extending seat-side arms and the two rear-side arms extending forward from both sides of the backrest are connected with each other by a pair that forms a rotation center of the backrest.

- the above-mentioned reaction force device preferably has a spiral spring having one end attached to the seat-side arm and the other end attached to the back-side arm.
- the spiral spring has a structure in which a spring force is generated by tightening the spiral spring, the moment of rotation of the backrest with respect to the seat is directly used to return the backrest to the initial position. Force can be stored in the spiral spring. This eliminates the need for a link mechanism for converting the rotational motion of the backrest into a linear motion with respect to the linear motion, thereby contributing to the simplification of the mechanism, the reduction in the number of parts and the number of assembly steps, and the reduction in manufacturing costs and the like. Furthermore, since the spiral spring forms a concentric spiral, it does not protrude in the axial direction unlike a rod-shaped torsion spring, a torsion coil spring, or the like.
- the target spring force can be obtained while suppressing the space occupation ratio of the spring in the reaction force device.
- the spiral spring has a larger range in which it can be displaced than a compression coil spring, a rod-shaped torsion spring, or the like, even though it is compact, that is, has a small space occupancy. Therefore, it is possible to set the tilting range of the backrest to be large while having a compact configuration.
- the spiral spring has a spring constant Is smaller than a compression coil spring or a rod-shaped torsion spring. In other words, the spiral spring generates a substantially constant reaction force until the end of the leaning of the backrest where the increase in the displacement, that is, the increase in the tilting angle of the backrest is small.
- the periphery of the mounting shaft to which the center end of the spiral of the spiral spring is mounted is preferably a shape (excluding a perfect circle) that forms a closed curve.
- a shape excluding a perfect circle
- the spring force of the spiral spring is prevented from being reduced, and the spiral spring is prevented from being damaged due to overload. it can.

- the reaction force device can be housed in the connection between the seat-side arm and the back-side arm, and the backrest tilting device can be further reduced in size and simplified.
- the spiral spring does not appear on the external appearance, the appearance is improved, and an accident such as a hand or an object being caught in the spiral spring is eliminated.
- the position where the distance to the sciatic node is shorter than the distance to the trochanter point in other words, in the vicinity of the ischial node or coincides with the ischial node.
- the center of rotation of the backrest is set at the right position to prevent the ischial tuberosity, where the weight of the occupant is concentrated, from being strongly pressed against the seat, so that the pressure from the seat acting on the buttocks of the occupant It is possible to prevent the seated person's spine from being excessively warped, thereby reducing the burden on the seated person's back.
- the hip joint of the seated person accompanying the tilting of the backrest is compared with the case where the center of rotation of the backrest coincides with the trochanter point.
- the bend angle can be made slightly larger, and a larger open feeling can be given to the occupant when the backrest is tilted.

- the appearance is improved because the spiral spring 14 does not appear on the external appearance, and an accident such as a hand or an object being caught in the spiral spring 14 is eliminated.
- a retaining member is attached to the end face of the mounting shaft 17 which penetrates the hole 22 provided in the seat-side connecting portion 6b, so that the seat-side connecting portion 6b and the back-side connecting portion 7b are disengaged from each other.
- two screw holes 30 are provided beside the groove 17a of the mounting shaft 17, and a disc 31 having a larger diameter than the hole 22 is provided on the end surface of the mounting shaft 17 that has passed through the hole 22. Secure with two screws screwed into screw holes 30. As a result, even when an excessive load S is applied when the occupant tilts the backrest 2, it is possible to reliably prevent the fitting between the seat-side connecting portion 6b and the back-side connecting portion 7b from being disengaged. Can be prevented from coming off chair 1.
- the backrest 2 is rotatably connected to the seat 3 by fitting the backside connection part 7b and the seatside connection part 6b to the right and left sides of the chair 1 respectively. However, movement of the backrest 2 other than the rotation is prohibited. Then, as shown in FIG. 5, a rotation restricting portion 16 that rotates integrally with the back side connecting portion 7b, and a first restricting portion 19 and a second restricting portion 20 provided integrally with the seat side connecting portion 6b, The rotation range of the backrest 2 is restricted. That is, the spiral spring 14 applies a spring force so that the rotation restricting portion 16 of the back side connecting portion 7b comes into contact with the second restricting portion 20.
- the state in which the rotation restricting portion 16 is in contact with the second restricting portion 20 is a state in which the backrest 2 is at the initial position.
- the rotation restricting portion 16 becomes the first restricting portion 19.
- the state in which the rotation restricting portion 16 is in contact with the first restricting portion 19 is a state in which the backrest 2 has fallen most rearward.
- the mounting shaft 17 is formed in a shape having a substantially closed curve whose periphery is not a perfect circle, for example, a substantially elliptical shape. This prevents close contact between the spiral spring 14 and the wires, thereby preventing the above-described inconvenience.
- An armrest 23 is attached to the surface of the seat-side connection portion 6b opposite to the surface facing the back-side connection portion 7b, for example, by screwing.
- Reference numeral 24 in FIG. 4 is a screw hole for screwing the armrest 23 to the seat-side connecting portion 6b, and reference numeral 25 in FIG. 2 is a cap fitted to the armrest 23 after the screwing.
- the material of each member constituting the chair 1 described above can be appropriately selected from metal materials and synthetic resins having necessary or desirable mechanical strength, light weight, weather resistance, workability, and the like. is there.
- the back arm 7 is integrally formed by a die casting method using an aluminum alloy
- the seat-side connecting portion 6b and the mounting portion 6c are also integrally formed by a die casting method using an aluminum alloy.
- the inner shell member 2b of the backrest 2 is made of polypropylene.
- a foamed or greasy fibrous cushion material such as polyurethane or the like wrapped with a skin member such as cloth is used.
- the backrest 2 tilts as follows. That is, when a load is applied by the seated person leaning against the backrest 2 at the initial position, the backrest 2 rotates so as to fall backward about the point C.
- the center of rotation C of the backrest 2 is set near the ischial node P1.
- FIG. 6 shows the backrest 2 and the occupant before and after rotating backward or tilting around the ischial tuberosity point P1, and is drawn by a two-dot chain line. Show after you do.
- the ischial tubercle 4 of the occupant rotating about the ischial node P1 tilts on the seat surface S1 without trying to sink further below the seat surface S1. I do.
- the center of rotation C of the backrest 2 near the ischial node P1, especially by setting the center of rotation C slightly behind the ischial node P1 as in the present embodiment, By preventing the ischial tuberosity 4 supporting the weight from being strongly pressed against the seating surface S1, the surface pressure acting on the buttocks of the seated person can be reduced.
- the ischial tuberosity 4 tilts naturally on the seating surface S1, as the seated person's back falls, the seated person's pelvis also uses the ischial node P1 as a fulcrum. And naturally rotate backwards.
- the backrest 2 is compared with the prior art shown in FIG. 7 in which the rotation center C of the backrest 2 is matched with the trochanter point P2.
- the bending angle of the hip joint of the seated person due to the tilting of the seat back can be slightly increased, and the seated person can be given a feeling of opening when the backrest 2 tilts.
- the backrest 2 is shifted while contacting the back of the seated person as compared with a case where the rotation center C of the backrest 2 is provided below the seating surface S1 or a case where the rotation center C is provided behind the backrest surface S2. Since the amount of the backrest is also reduced, the same effect as in the case where the rotation center C of the backrest 2 is made coincident with the trochanter point P2 can be obtained, such as preventing the clothes from wrinkling.
- the backrest 2 When the external force that tilts the backrest 2 backward is released, the backrest 2 returns to the initial position by the return force of the spiral spring 14. According to the chair 1 of the present embodiment, the use of the backrest 2 alone without interlocking the seat 3 makes it possible to realize a comfortable use and comfort without discomfort.
- the above embodiment is an example of a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to this, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
- the backrest tilting device 5 of the present invention was applied to the office swivel chair 1.
- other chairs such as work chairs, nursing chairs, medical chairs, etc.
- the present invention can be applied to chairs in general, and the present invention may be applied to vehicle seats such as automobiles.
- the seat arm 6 and the back arm The reaction force device 13 using the spiral spring 14 is incorporated in the connection portion with the arm 7, but this is not necessarily the case.
- a motor or the like is incorporated in the connection portion, and the backrest 2 is tilted electrically. You may make it do.
- the seat 3 and the backrest 2 are connected by the turning pair forming the rotation center C of the backrest 2, but the backrest 2 and the seat 3 are connected via the link mechanism, A virtual rotation axis may be set at a position that is the rotation center C of the backrest 2.
- the backrest 2 and the seat 3 may be connected via a link mechanism that swings the seat 3.
- the rotation center C of the backrest 2 may be provided above the seating surface S1 and the force rotation center C may be provided at a position matching the seating surface S1.
- the “position that matches the bearing surface S1” includes a position that substantially matches the bearing surface S1.
- the force using the disc 31 as a retaining member is ensured.
- the configuration using the retaining member is not limited.
- the seat arm 6, the back arm 7, and the mounting plate 8 are made of metal, for example, to increase the rigidity of these members, and when the occupant tilts the backrest 2, the seat arm 6, the back arm 7 Therefore, the inner shell member 2b is prevented from being deformed radially.
- the backrest 2 when the seated person tilts the backrest 2, the fitting of the seat-side connecting portion 6b and the back-side connecting portion 7b is prevented from being disengaged due to the radius deformation, and the backrest 2 can be used as a chair.
