The present application relates generally to a body support assembly, for example a chair, and in particular to a backrest assembly and/or seat assembly incorporated into the body support assembly, and various components incorporated therein, together with methods for the use and assembly thereof.
Chairs, and in particular office chairs, may have a body support member configured with a suspension material, such as a mesh fabric, that is stretched across a frame. Such suspension materials conform to the body of the user, providing micro compliance along with improved air circulation, and the attendant cooling benefit. Typically, the frame must be rigid in order to maintain an appropriate level of tension in the suspension material. Such rigidity may limit, however, the flexibility of the body support member, and introduce unforgiving pressure points around the perimeter of the frame. In addition, suspension materials installed on a seat of a chair are typically required to sustain higher tensions due to the load being applied thereto by a seated user, which may exacerbate the limited flexibility and rigidity of the supporting structure.
While various mechanical systems, such as lumbar supports and tilt control mechanisms, may be introduced to mitigate the limited flexibility and provide additional adjustment capabilities, such systems are relatively expensive to manufacture, require additional maintenance, are susceptible to wear and tear over time, and may not be appropriately exploited by the user due to the requirement for individual adjustments. In addition, such tilt mechanisms typically include one or more rigid links, and mechanical connections, which are rigid and non-compliant, which result in a more rigid and less forgiving ride, and which may lead to a less desirable user experience. Conversely, systems relying on the materiality of the seating structure to introduce the appropriate kinematics and flexibility may not be suitable to support a suspension material. While body support surfaces may be defined by one or more foam cushions, foam materials may limit air circulation and often do not provide localized support. In addition, body support members configured with plastic shells, supported for example by peripheral frames, typically do not provide a comfortable body-conforming support surface.
The present invention is defined by the following claims, and nothing in this section should be considered to be a limitation on those claims.
In one aspect, one embodiment of a seat assembly includes a lower support platform having a first peripheral edge, an upper surface and a lower surface. A support ring is coupled to the first peripheral edge of the lower support platform and extends radially outwardly therefrom and defines a second peripheral edge. The support ring includes an upper surface. An upper shell is disposed over the upper surfaces of the lower support platform and the support ring and defines a concave cavity. The upper shell has a third peripheral edge defining a central opening and an upper surface. A suspension material is secured to the upper shell across the central opening and covers the concave cavity.
In another aspect, one embodiment of a body support member includes a carrier frame having a body facing first surface, a second surface opposite the first surface, a peripheral edge surface extending between the first and second surfaces, and a peripheral groove formed in and opening outwardly from the peripheral edge surface. A support frame includes a first surface and a peripheral edge. A flexible edge member is connected to the peripheral edge of the support frame. The flexible edge member has an inner surface spaced apart from and facing the peripheral edge surface of the carrier frame. The inner surface and the peripheral edge surface define a gap therebetween, with the gap being in communication with the peripheral groove. A textile material includes a peripheral edge. The textile material covers the first surface of the carrier frame and is disposed in the gap between the inner surface of the flexible edge and the peripheral edge surface of the carrier frame. The textile material engages at least a portion of the peripheral edge surface of the carrier frame. The peripheral edge of the textile material is disposed in the peripheral groove.
In another aspect, one embodiment of a method of manufacturing a body support member includes disposing a peripheral edge of a textile material into a groove formed in a peripheral edge surface of a carrier frame, covering at least a portion of the peripheral edge surface and a body-facing first surface of the carrier frame with the textile material, and connecting a flexible edge member to the carrier frame. The flexible edge member has an inner surface spaced apart from and facing the peripheral edge surface of the carrier frame, wherein the inner surface and the peripheral edge surface define a gap therebetween, wherein the gap is in communication with the peripheral groove, and wherein the textile material is disposed in the gap.
In another aspect, one embodiment of a seat assembly includes a lower support platform extending in a longitudinal direction. The lower support platform includes opposite side edges and a laterally extending first flex region extending between the opposite side edges that bifurcates the lower support platform into a front portion and a rear portion. The first flex region is bendable such that the rear portion is downwardly deflectable relative to the front portion, even though both the front and rear portions may move upwardly during recline in one embodiment. An upper shell includes opposite side members connected to the support platform with a pair of connectors. Each of the connectors includes a second flex region, wherein the second flex regions are bendable such that the opposite side members are upwardly moveable relative to the lower support platform as the rear portion is downwardly deflectable.
In another aspect, a body support member includes a carrier frame having a central portion and a peripheral ring connected to the central portion with a plurality of connectors each having a flex region, with the peripheral ring defining a central opening. An elastic textile material is coupled to the peripheral ring across the central opening. A cushion is disposed between the central portion and the textile material. At least one the plurality of connectors is inwardly deflectable a first amount from a first unloaded configuration to a first loaded configuration in response to a load applied to the elastic material, and the elastic material is downwardly deflectable a second amount from a second unloaded configuration to a second loaded configuration in response to the load applied thereto. The cushion engages and provides auxiliary support to the elastic material when the first and second amounts of deflection result in the elastic material contacting the cushion.
In another aspect, one embodiment of a body support member includes a flexible carrier frame deformable from an unloaded configuration to loaded configuration, an elastic textile material coupled to the carrier frame, and a cushion disposed beneath the textile material. The flexible carrier frame, elastic material and cushion provide first, second and third amounts of resilient support to a user engaging and supported by the textile material.
In another aspect, one embodiment of a body support member includes a carrier frame having opposite side portions defining an opening therebetween. An elastic textile material is coupled to the side portions across the opening, with a cushion disposed beneath the textile material.

The elastic material is downwardly deflectable a second amount from a second unloaded configuration to a second loaded configuration in response to the load applied thereto, and the cushion engages and provides auxiliary support to the elastic material when the first and second amounts of deflection result in the elastic material contacting the cushion.
In another aspect, one embodiment of a body support assembly includes a seat having opposite sides spaced apart in a lateral direction and a front and rear spaced apart in a first longitudinal direction.
Various methods of using and assembling the body support assembly and other components are also provided.
The various embodiments of the body support assembly and components, and methods for the use and assembly thereof, provide significant advantages over other body support assemblies and methods. For example and without limitation, the structure allows for the integration of a suspension material into the backrest and/or seat, while maintaining an overall flexibility of those components. The structure and user interface provide a body support structure that adapts to the user's body and provides for macro compliance during use, while also providing micro compliance at the user interface and avoiding hard interfaces around the periphery thereof.
In addition, the various links and flex regions provide a simple but robust structure that ensures a proper fit for a multitude of users without the requirement of complex mechanical mechanisms and adjustment interfaces. The body support assemblies, with their various flex regions and material compliance, provide for improved comfort and fit, while reducing costs by reducing and/or eliminating the overall number of parts, including various metal components, which may reduce manufacturing costs. In addition, the compliant materials may reduce the overall weight of the body support assembly, and the attendant shipping costs associated therewith. The body support assembly is uncomplicated, durable, visually appealing and capable of a long operating life.

Tilt Control Assembly:
Referring to
In other embodiments, the tilt control assembly include integrally formed links 23, 25, 33, configured for example with strategic deformable locations that allow for predetermined deformations and define “flex regions,” otherwise referred to as “flex joints,” or virtual pivot locations. The various configurations of the links and flex regions may be configured as shown and disclosed in U.S. Pub. No. 2016/0296026 A1, entitled “Seating Arrangement,” and in U.S. Pub. No. 2018/0352961, entitled “Seating Arrangement and Method of Construction,” the entire disclosures of which are hereby incorporated herein by reference.
For example, the tilt control assembly 18 may be configured as a four-bar mechanism as shown in
In operation, a user can move or recline the backrest and seat assemblies 6, 8 from an upright position to a reclined position by flexing the four bar mechanism, including portions of the seat assembly. It is contemplated that the four-bar linkage arrangement as used and described herein is inclusive of linkage arrangements comprising additional linkage members, such as five-bar linkage arrangements, six-bar linkage arrangements, and the like. In various embodiments, the thickness of one or more links 23, 25, 33, 57, and especially the front, base and seat links 23, 33, 57, and predetermined flex regions thereof, may be located to achieve a desired performance characteristic, including for example, the flexibility of the link. Further, in certain embodiments, the thickness of a link may vary along the length of the link to achieve a desired flexibility or rigidity across the link or in a localized portion of the link, for example at flex regions 27, 28, 31 and 53. In addition, and for example, the front links and seat assembly link may be more flexible than the rear link 25 to achieve the desired flexibility of the four-bar linkage. In some embodiments, the various links may be more flexible in a particular portion or localized area of the link such that the links are generally flexible in the localized area and are generally not flexible or less flexible in any other area of the link. It is noted that the relative areas of reduced thickness may extend along a short distance or the majority of the length of the associated link depending upon the support and bending characteristics desired.
Seat Assembly:
Referring to
The support platform 30 has a pair of laterally spaced pads 44 positioned at a forward portion of the support platform. As shown in
The support platform may be made of a flexibly resilient polymer material such as any thermoplastic, including, for example, nylon, glass-filled nylon, polypropylene, acetyl, or polycarbonate; any thermal set material, including, for example, epoxies; or any resin-based composites, including, for example, carbon fiber or fiberglass, thereby allowing the support platform to conform and move in response to forces exerted by a user. Other suitable materials may be also be utilized, such as metals, including, for example, steel or titanium; plywood; or composite material including plastics, resin-based composites, metals and/or plywood. The support platform may have strategically positioned tensile substrates, made for example of glass reinforced tape, to accommodate bending and deformation of the structure. Strategic locations on the lower support platform also are provided with specific geometries that allow for predetermined deformations and define “flex regions,” otherwise referred to as “flex joints,” or virtual pivot locations.
For example, the support platform may include an area of reduced thickness defining a laterally extending flex region or flexing zone 53 located in front of the boss structure 49, which divides or bifurcates the support platform into front and rear portions, which may have different lengths or dimensions, with the rear portion being downwardly deflectable relative to the front portion during recline as the flex region bends. The portion of the support platform extending between the flex region 53 and the flex region 27 defines a link of a four-bar mechanism, while a portion of the support platform rearward of the flex region 53 defines in part a portion of the rear link 25. It is noted that the relative areas of reduced thickness may extend along a short distance or the majority of the width of the support platform depending upon the support and bending characteristics desired. The phrase “flex region” refers to a portion of the structure that allows for flexing or bending in the designated region, thereby allowing or providing for relative movement (e.g., pivoting) of the component or structure on opposite sides of the flex region, thereby defining a virtual pivot location, for example a horizontal pivot axis, with the understanding that the virtual pivot axis may move during the flexing, rather than being defined as a hard fixed axis. The various configurations and materials of the support platform may correspond to the configuration and materials of various components as shown and disclosed in U.S. Pub. No. 2016/0296026 A1, entitled “Seating Arrangement,” and in U.S. Pub. No. 2018/0352961, entitled “Seating Arrangement and Method of Construction,” the entire disclosures of which are hereby incorporated herein by reference.
A support ring 48 has an inner ring 50 with an interior peripheral edge 52 that defines a central opening 54. The interior peripheral edge 52 surrounds and is coupled to the outer peripheral edge 32 of the support platform, namely the rear edge 40, front edge 38 and side edges 42, of the support platform 30, which is received in the opening 54. The inner ring 50 has a trapezoidal shape defined by a front member 56, a rear member 58 and a pair of side members 60 defining the opening 54. The interior peripheral edge 52 may be stepped, meaning a peripheral edge portion 70 thereof is thinner than a central portion 72 thereof, with the edge portion 70 overlapping and mating with the edge portion 66 of the lower support platform. As shown in
In one embodiment, the support ring 48 further includes an outer ring 74 with side members 76 joined to side members 60 of the inner ring with a pair of front connectors 78 and a pair of intermediate connectors 80. A pair of rear three-sided openings 81 are defined between an inner edge of the outer ring 74, an edge of the side member and the edges of the connectors 80. The openings 81 each have an inner side 85, a longer, outer curved side 87, with the sides 87 and 85 converging along the rear of the opening 81 to define a nose 89, and a third side 91 extending along and defining the connector 80 and joining the sides 85, 87. A pair of front three-sided openings 83 are defined between an inner edge of the outer ring 74, an edge of the side member 60 and the edges of the connectors 80. The openings 83 each have an inner side 93, a longer, outer curved side 95, with the sides 93. 95 converging along the front of the opening 83 to define a nose 99, and a third side 97 extending along and defining the connector 80 and joining the sides 93, 95.
It should be understood that in one embodiment, the intermediate connectors 80 may be omitted. The outer ring has a front cross member 82 and a rear member 58, which it shares with the inner ring, and which are connected to the side members 76. The front cross member 82 is spaced apart from the front member 56, which define an elongated and laterally extending U-shaped opening 84 therebetween. A flexible membrane 55 covers the opening 84, is connected to the support ring around the perimeter of the opening, and maintains the spacing between the cross member 82 and front member 56 when the cross member 82 flexes relative to the front member 56, for example when undergoing a load applied by a user's thighs. The membrane 55 may also serve as a limiter by limiting the amount of deflection of the cross member 82 when the load is applied thereto. The membrane 55 may be made of urethane, and may be over molded on the support ring 48 to cover the opening 84. Side slots 86 allow for front portions 88 of the side members 76 to flex or bend such that the front member 82 may deflect when loaded by the user's legs, while the connectors 78, 80 provide greater rigidity to the outer ring 74. An outer peripheral edge 90 is stepped, meaning a peripheral edge portion 92 thereof is thinner than the central portion 72 thereof. A pair of lugs 94 extend downwardly from the inner ring and are disposed along the sides of the boss structure, where they are supported by the tilt control assembly 18. The support ring 48 extends radially outwardly from the lower support platform 30. The support ring, including the outer ring, the inner ring and connectors, defines an upper surface 96 and a concave cavity 98. The support ring 48 is made of a compliant flexible material, which is configured to position and hold the flexible edge member 162, described in more detail below. The support ring 48 is less stiff than the support platform, and has a modulus of elasticity that is less than a modulus of elasticity of the support platform. The support ring may be made, for example, of polyester urethane, or a thermoplastic polyester elastomer.
An upper shell, also referred to as a carrier frame 100, has a central portion 102 overlying the inner ring 52 of the support ring and the lower support platform 30, and an outer ring 104 overlying the outer ring 74 of the support ring and the upper surface 34 of the support platform. The outer ring 104 and central portion 102 of the upper shell are coupled with at least two connectors, including a pair of front connectors 106 and a pair of intermediate connectors 108, which are curved with an upwardly facing concave curvature such that is rigid and resists outward/downward deflection/deformation.
A pair of rear three-sided openings 109 are defined between an inner edge of the outer ring 104, an edge of the central portion 102 and the edges of the connectors 108. The openings 109 each have an inner side 111, a longer, outer curved side 113, with the sides 111, 113 converging along the rear of the opening 109 to define a nose 115, and a third side 117 extending along and defining the connector 108 and joining the sides 111, 113. A pair of front three-sided openings 119 are defined between an inner edge of the outer ring 104, an edge of the central portion 102 and the edges of the connectors 108. The openings 119 each have an inner side 121, a longer, outer curved side 123, with the sides 121, 123 converging along the front of the opening 119 to define a nose 125, and a third side 127 extending along and defining the connector 108 and joining the sides 121, 123.
The outer ring 104 has a front cross member 110 and a rear member 112 that are connected to side members 114. The outer ring has a peripheral length defined around the perimeter thereof, with the length being fixed or maintained as a relative constant during recline of the seat. In other words, in one embodiment, the outer ring 104, defined by the side members 114, front cross member 110 and rear member 112, does not elongate during recline, or does not undergo elastic deformation along a tangent or length thereof in response to tensile forces, although the outer ring 104 is capable of bending or flexing as described in more detail below. The front cross member 110 is spaced apart from a front edge 116 of the central portion 102, which define an elongated and laterally extending U-shaped opening 118 therebetween. Side slots 120 allow for front portions 122 of the side members 114 to flex or bend such that the front cross member 110 may deflect when loaded by the user's legs, while the connectors 106, 108 provide greater rigidity to the outer ring 104. The connectors 106, 108 overlie the connectors 78, 80, with openings 84 and 118, along with membrane 53, being aligned. The upper shell includes pads 124 that overlie the pads 46. The upper shell 100 is secured to the support platform with fasteners, including for example hooks and screws.
The upper shell, or carrier frame 100, is flexible, but stiffer than the support ring 48, and has a modulus of elasticity that is greater than the modulus of elasticity of the support ring, but the carrier frame is less stiff than, and has a modulus of elasticity less than a modulus of elasticity of the support platform 30. The upper shell, or carrier frame 100, may be made of a flexibly resilient polymer material such as any thermoplastic, including, for example, nylon, glass-filled nylon, polypropylene, acetyl, or polycarbonate; any thermal set material, including, for example, epoxies; or any resin-based composites, including, for example, carbon fiber or fiberglass, thereby allowing the support platform to conform and move in response to forces exerted by a user. Other suitable materials may be also be utilized, such as metals, including, for example, steel or titanium; plywood; or composite material including plastics, resin-based composites, metals and/or plywood.
The intermediate connectors 108 of the upper shell 100 may include an area of reduced thickness defining flex regions or flexing zones 155. The upper shell 100 also may have an area of reduced thickness defining a flex region or flexing zone 153 that overlies the flex region 53 of the underlying support platform, located in front of the boss structure 48.
The upper shell, or carrier frame 100, has a body facing upper surface 126, a lower surface 128 opposite the upper surface 126 and a peripheral edge surface 130, or side edge face, extending between the first and second surfaces 126, 128. In one embodiment, the peripheral edge surface 130 is substantially planar and has a vertical orientation, although it should be understood that the edge surface may be curved, curvilinear, or non-planar, and/or may be oriented at angles other than a vertical plane. The carrier frame 100 defines a concave cavity 132 with the outer ring defining a central opening 134.
A peripheral groove 136 is formed in and opens outwardly from the peripheral edge surface 130 or face. The groove 136 extends around at least a portion of the carrier frame, and in one embodiment, extends continuously around the entire periphery of the carrier frame 100. The peripheral edge portion 92 of the support frame 62 extends outwardly beyond the face 130 of the carrier frame as shown in
A textile material 150 is secured to the carrier frame 100 across the central opening 134 such that it covers the concave cavity 132. The textile material may be a suspension material, or may cover a cushion supported by the support and/or carrier frames 64, 100. The textile material covers the upper surface 126 of the upper shell, and engages the landing portion 144. The textile material 150 wraps around and engages a portion of the outer peripheral edge surface 130, and in particular an upper portion 152 of the peripheral edge surface extending between the groove 136 and the upper surface 126, or landing portion 144 thereof. A peripheral edge portion 154 of the textile material 150 is coupled to the peripheral edge of the upper shell, for example with the edge portion 154 of the textile material being disposed in the groove 136. In one embodiment, a stay 156 (shown in
In another embodiment, and referring to
A carrier frame 100 has a body portion 530 with a bottom surface 532 overlying and engaging the bottom wall and an insert portion 534 that is received in the channel 526 and engages the engagement surface 528. As shown in
Suspension Material:
In one embodiment, the textile material is made of an elastomeric woven or knitted material, and may be configured as a suspension material having heat-shrinkable yarns and heat shrinkable elastomeric monofilaments, which shrink in response to the application of energy, for example heat, whether applied by radiation or convection. Various suitable suspension materials are disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 7,851,390, entitled “Two-Dimensional Textile Material, Especially Textile Fabric, Having Shrink Properties and Products Manufacture Therefrom,” the entire disclosure of which is hereby incorporated herein by reference. One commercially suitable heat-shrink suspension material is a SHRINX fabric available from Krall+Roth, Germany.
Referring to
A plurality of yarn strands 556 are interwoven with the elastomeric and non-extensible threads 552, 554 in the weft direction, or longitudinal direction 2, 2′ in one embodiment. The non-extensible threads 554 and the yarn strands 556 do not shrink when exposed to heat or energy, and are not elastomeric. Rather, the yarn strands 556 provide shape control to the overall suspension material in a final configuration after heat shrinking. The yarn strands 556 may be made of various colors, e.g., blue, to provide color to the textile material. The overall color of the blank is thereby easily changed simply by introducing different yarns in the weft direction. In contrast, the elastomeric threads are preferably transparent or black.
Referring to
Energy, such as heat, may be applied to the fabric blank from an energy source, causing the heat shrinkable elastomeric threads 552 to shrink. In other embodiments, the textile material is wrapped around or covers a cushion or underlying substrate such as a plastic or metal web, which supports the user, with the edge of the textile material secured to the carrier frame as described herein. In those embodiments, the textile material 150 may be, but is not necessarily, put in tension around the cushion or across the opening 134.
The flexible edge member 162 is configured as a ring surrounding and coupled to the peripheral edge 92 of the support frame. It should be understood that the ring may be continuous, or that the flexible edge member may extend only partially around the periphery of the carrier frame 100. The flexible edge member 162 extends upwardly from the support frame 64 and has an inner peripheral surface 164, or face, facing inwardly toward, and spaced apart from, the peripheral edge surface 130 of the carrier frame so as to form a gap G, for example and without limitation having a width of between 0.50 to 1.00 mm that is communication with the groove 136, meaning the groove and gap form a continuous, but non-linear slotted opening or pathway that receives the textile material 150. In one embodiment, the inner surface 164 is substantially planar and has a vertical orientation and extends in the Z direction, although it should be understood that the edge surface may be curved, curvilinear, or non-planar, and/or may be oriented at angles other than a vertical plane. In one embodiment, the inner surface 164 has substantially the same shape as the peripheral edge surface 130 such that the gap G is maintained constant, regardless of whether either surface or the gap G is linear. In one embodiment, the gap G is the same or slightly larger than the thickness of the textile material, which may have a thickness of about 0.75 to 1.00 mm, while in other embodiments, there is no gap (i.e. G=0), or the gap G is less than the thickness of the textile material, with the surfaces 130, 164 abutting, and/or squeezing or slightly compressing the textile material 150 therebetween. The inner surface 164 faces and covers the groove 136 and textile material 150. In addition, the flexible edge member 162 further entraps the stay 156 and textile material 150, thereby further helping to ensure that the stay 156 does not become dislodged from the groove 136.
The flexible edge member 162 is made of a thermoplastic olefin or thermoplastic elastomer, and may be made of the same material as the membrane 53, such that the flexible edge member may be compressed, for example if impacted. The flexible edge member 162 has a greater resilience, or is more flexible and has a substantially lower modulus of elasticity less than the support frame 62, with a durometer in the shore D range, with one embodiment having a durometer of 80-90. The flexible edge member 162 protects the textile material 150 from inadvertent impact and wear and has an upper surface 166 substantially flush with, or slightly lower than, an upper surface 168 of the textile material 150, thereby preventing snags and providing a pleasing appearance. As mentioned, the flexible edge member 162 abuts, or is slightly spaced from, the portion of the textile material 150 disposed between the flexible edge member 162 and carrier frame 100. The flexible edge member has a groove 170, with the peripheral edge 92 of the support ring being disposed in the groove 170. In one embodiment, the flexible edge member 162 is over molded onto the peripheral edge 92 of the support frame 62, or support ring, and may be made of the same material as the membrane 53. In other embodiments, the flexible edge member may be secured to the support frame by friction, or with adhesives, mechanical fasteners, such as staples or screws, or combinations thereof. The geometry of the flexible edge member 162 further promotes the protective and elastic properties thereof. For example, the flexible edge member 162 may be tapered from a first thickness T1 along the inner surface 164 to a second thickness T2 at an outermost peripheral edge thereof, with the thickness being measured parallel to the inner surface 164, or in substantially the Z direction. In one embodiment, the nose tapers to a point where T2=0. In one embodiment, the flexible edge member 162 in cross-section has a rounded nose shape. The flexible edge member 162 may be compressed in response to a load applied in the X and/or Y directions, or may deflect in response to a load applied in the Z direction as shown in
In one embodiment, an auxiliary support member 200, shown as a cushion, is disposed between the upper surface 126 of the carrier frame 100 and a bottom surface 190 of the textile material 150, configured as a suspension material, or the space defined therebetween. An upper surface 202 of the auxiliary support member 200 is spaced apart from the bottom surface 190 of the suspension material such that a gap G2 or space is defined therebetween when the suspension material is in an unloaded configuration (i.e., without a user disposed on the suspension material). In various embodiments, the gap G2 may be maintained as a constant, with the cushion having a contoured upper surface 202 that matches the contour of the bottom surface 190 of the suspension material. In various embodiments, the gap G2 is greater than 0 and less than 5 mm, and in one embodiment is 3 mm, such that the suspension material contacts the auxiliary support member 200 as soon as the user engages, or sits on, the suspension material. The auxiliary support member 200 may have a generally trapezoidal shape in plan view that matches the shape of the central portion 102 of the carrier frame or the support platform 30. The auxiliary support member 200 extends forwardly to cover the opening 118 and support the thighs of the user. The auxiliary support member may be made of foam. The auxiliary support member 200 may be secured to the support platform 30 and/or carrier frame 100 with fasteners, including mechanical fasteners such as screws or adhesive. In one embodiment, the auxiliary support member 200 has a bottom substrate 201, for example a plastic or wood sheet, that may be engaged with fasteners and which is connected to, or embedded in, an upper foam cushion 203 as shown in
In operation, and referring to
It should be understood that in other embodiments, the auxiliary support member 200 abuts and supports the textile material in an unloaded condition. For example, the textile material may simply cover a cushion, which fills the space of the cavity 132 of the carrier frame, with the textile material forming an upholstery cover over the top of the cushion.
In one embodiment, a method of manufacturing or assembling a body support member 10 includes positioning and securing the auxiliary support member 200 on top of the carrier frame 100. The method further includes disposing the peripheral edge portion 154, 252 of the textile material 150, 234 into the peripheral groove 136, 244 formed in the peripheral edge surface 130, 246 of the frame, with the stay 156, 250 engaging one surface of the groove. As the stay 156, 250 is rolled over for insertion into the groove, the suspension material covers the portion of the peripheral edge surface 130, 246 between the groove and the upper (or front) surface 126 (i.e., body-facing first surface of the frame). The carrier frame 100, 242 is then connected to the support frame 62, 236, which has a flexible edge member 162, 240 secured thereto for example by way of support ring 48. Conversely, the flexible edge member 162 may first be connected to the carrier frame 100, for example by way of the support ring 48, with those components thereafter being coupled to the support platform 30. In one embodiment, the flexible edge member 162, 240 is secured to the support frame 62, or support ring 48, by over molding the flexible edge member 162 onto the peripheral edge 92 of the support frame/support ring. The flexible edge member may be secured in other ways, including with adhesive or mechanical fasteners. Energy, for example thermal energy or heat applied by radiation or convection, may be applied to the suspension material 150, 234, causing the suspension material to shrink and create tension therein. The energy may be applied to the suspension material either before or after the carrier frame 100, 242 is secured to the support frame 62, 212. As the suspension material shrinks, the suspension material is put in tension across the opening 134 and the stays 250, 156 are anchored in the grooves 136, 244.
Backrest Assembly:
Referring to
A transition portion 216, which is a curved and defines a rearwardly facing convex bow shape in one embodiment, extends rearwardly and upwardly from the lower portion 214. A pair of laterally spaced uprights 218 extend upwardly from the transition portion 216. The back frame 210 further includes an upper cross member 220 extending between and connecting upper ends of the uprights 218, with the cross member 220, upright 218 and lower portion 214 defining a central opening. The back support 212, otherwise referred to as a support frame, is flexible, and includes flex regions 225, 233 allowing it to bend and deflect in response to the user reclining in the body support structure. The back support, or support frame 212, includes a pair of laterally spaced uprights 222, each having a forwardly facing convex bow shaped portion 223 at a first location proximate a lumbar region of the back support, with each bow shaped portion including and defining a flex region.
A bottom portion 224 extends between and connects the uprights. The back support 212 further includes a lower portion or support arm 226 that extends forwardly from the bottom portion, with the support arm or lower portion coupled to the control assembly. The uprights 222 of the back support are coupled to the uprights 218 of the back frame with connectors 228. The back support 212 is pivotable with the back frame 210. In one embodiment, the uprights 218, 222 may be pivotally connected with a mechanical pivot joint, including for example the pivot structure disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 9,826,839, the entire disclosure of which is hereby incorporated herein by reference.
The back support 212 includes an upper member 230 extending between and connected to upper ends of the pair of second uprights 222, and the bottom portion 224 extends between and is connected to the lower ends of the pair of second uprights. The upper member 230, uprights 222 and the bottom portion 224 define a central opening 232. A suspension material 234 is stretched across the central opening 232 and is secured to the back support 212 in a similar fashion as the seat.
Specifically, the upper member 230, the bottom portion 224 and the pair of second uprights 222 define a support frame 236 having a peripheral edge 238 as shown in
In another embodiment, and referring to
Operation:
In operation, and referring to
The resilience and deflection of the side portions 114 is primarily a function of the deflection of the at least one connector 80, 108 extending between the central portion 102 and support platform 30 and the side portions 114. The connectors 80, 108 extend upwardly and outwardly from the central portion, and curved with an upwardly facing concave surface such that is rigid and resists outward/downward deflection/deformation. As noted above, the connectors 80, 108 includes a pair of opposite side connectors that are inwardly deflectable from the first unloaded configuration to the first loaded configuration in response to the load applied to the elastic material.
The user 101 may recline, with the tilt control assembly 18 providing for the seat and/or backrest assemblies 8, 6 to move rearwardly, whether by pivoting, rotation, translation or a combination thereof, for example by way of a four-bar mechanism including links 8, 23, 25 and 33.
Referring to
Due to the orientation of the front and rear links, and relative positioning of the flex regions 27, 53, which are disposed upwardly and forwardly of the flex regions 29, 31 respectively, the four-bar linkage provides a weight activated system, meaning the weight of the user is taken into account when reclining since the increase in potential energy is offset by the kinetic energy required to recline. In this way, the four-bar mechanism will provide more resistance to a heavier user and automatically counterbalance the user. As noted previously, the amount of recline may be limited by the recline limiter, while energy may supplied to boost the resistance to recline and return the body support assembly to the upright, nominal position.
Although the present invention has been described with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art will recognize that changes may be made in form and detail without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. As such, it is intended that the foregoing detailed description be regarded as illustrative rather than limiting and that it is the appended claims, including all equivalents thereof, which are intended to define the scope of the invention.
