Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a foldable assistive stand-up chair, and more particularly to a chair that assists a user to stand up when the user rises from the chair.

2. Description of the Related Art

With reference to FIG. 24 for a collapsible chair as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 7,628,450, the chair is provided for users to sit, or to lie on one's back by adjusting a control unit 71 (which is a seat rest slide 60 indicated in the specification of U.S. Pat. No. 7,628,450), so that the users can position the back of the chair horizontally backward and rest at a supine position on the chair.

Although this patent provides the desired function, users such as the elderly or mobility impaired people cannot rise from the chair due to deteriorated knee caps or weak muscles, and the aforementioned patent does not provide an effective solution.

With reference to FIG. 25 for a seating furniture as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 7,090,296, a design provided for lying on one's back in accordance with this patent is similar to that of U.S. Pat. No. 7,628,450, but this patent still does not come with a design of assisting users to stand up. In other words, this patent includes an element 72 similar to a hydraulic cylinder or a pneumatic cylinder, but the element 72 can be used only for driving a backrest to be elevated and providing a shock absorbing effect during the elevation process. In FIGS. 2 and 3 of U.S. Pat. No. 7,090,296, the chair does not come with a design of assisting users to stand up, and cannot achieve the foregoing expected effect.

a driving component 3, including a contractible driving device 31 and a follower 30 disposed at a rear side of the bottom of the chair frame 22, wherein an end of the driving device 31 is pivotally installed at the front base frame 11, and another end of the driving device 31 is pivotally coupled to the follower 30, and any of the two ends of the driving device 31 comes with a detachable design, and an end of the follower 30 is pivotally installed at the top of the rear base frame 12, and another end of the follower 30 is pivotally to the bottom of the back frame 21, and the driving device 31 of this embodiment is a hydraulic cylinder, a pneumatic cylinder, a lifting motor or a linear actuator that can be extended or contracted for operations, and the driving device 31 further comprises an operating interface (not shown in the figure) provided for making controls and adjustments by users, so as to facilitate controlling the movements of the assistive stand-up chair.

In this embodiment, the follower 30 comprises a link element 33, a driving rod 34 and two transmission elements 35, wherein an end of the link element 33 is pivotally coupled to the top of the driving device 31, and another end of the link element 33 is fixed to the middle position of the driving rod 34, and the axial direction of the driving rod 34 is perpendicular to the extending and contracting direction of the driving device 31, and both ends of the driving rod 34 are fixed to the two transmission elements 35 respectively, and an end (which is the rear end) of each transmission element 35 is pivotally coupled to left and right sides proximate to the bottom of the back frame 21, and another end (which is the front end) of each transmission element 35 proximate to the fixing element 13 is pivotally installed at left and right sides proximate to the top of the rear base frame 12. In addition, the aforementioned design uses the pivoting position of the chair frame 22 and the front base frame 11 as a moving center, such that the driving device 31 can be driven to produce an assistive stand-up movement of the chair mechanism 2 with respect to the base support 1.

With reference to FIGS. 3 to 5, FIG. 3 shows an application of the stand-up chair provided for a user to lie on the user's back. Assumed that a user (not shown in the figure) is sitting on the chair frame 22, and the user's back is leaning against the back frame 21, the driving and linking relations of components including the driving component 3 allow the stand-up chair to be set sequentially in the statuses as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5. Finally, the user can lie and rest on the chair as shown in FIG. 5. More specifically, the driving device 31 of the driving component 3 is retracted, such that components including the link element 33, the driving rod 34 and the transmission element 35 are linked to allow the back frame 21, the chair frame 22, the leg frame 23 and the armrests 24 of the chair mechanism 2 to produce movements like four link rods, so as to produce a tilted effect, wherein the back frame 21 and the leg frame 23 tend to be in a horizontal position after being tilted.

When the user wants to stand up, the chair may be situated at an initial status as shown in FIG. 3 or 5. Now, the driving and linking relations of components including the driving component 3 allow the stand-up chair to be set in the statuses sequentially as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, such that the chair can assist and support users, particularly the elderly and mobility impaired people to stand up. During the movements, the driving device 31 of the driving component 3 is extended to produce a link effect for the components including the link element 33, the driving rod 34 and the transmission element 35, so as to allow the back frame 21, the chair frame 22, the leg frame 23 and the armrests 24 of the chair mechanism 2 to move like four link rods, and tend to be tilted to a vertical position, wherein the back frame 21 and the leg frame 23 tend to be in a vertical status, and the armrests 24 and the chair frame 22 are tilted more than the original status as shown in FIG. 3 to facilitate a user to hold the armrests 24 by both hands and produce an upward pushing force by the user's hip at the chair frame 22 when the user is standing up. Such design is helpful for assisting the user to stand up.

With reference to FIGS. 8 to 11 for stacking, folding and storing the stand-up chair of the aforementioned embodiment, the fixing element 13 as shown in FIG. 3 is separated from the front and rear base frames 11, 12 first, and the bottom of the driving device 31 is separated from the bottom of the front base frame 11. Of course, the fixing element 13 in this embodiment can be components such as bolts and nuts provided for a locking purpose. In addition, other components as shown in FIG. 12 can be used to achieve the installation and removal effects, and a design of a quick release structure 131 can be adopted at the position of the fixing element 13 to achieve the effect of connecting or separating the front and rear base frames 11, 12 quickly.

In summation, the stand-up chair of this embodiment is secured by components such as bolts and nuts, so that it is necessary to remove the bolts and nuts first before the user can stack and fold the base support 1, the chair mechanism 2 and the driving component 3, wherein the front and rear base frames 11, 12 and the driving device 31 can be folded towards the front of the stand-up chair, and the back frame 21 and the leg frame 23 can be pivotally folded towards the front and the rear of the stand-up chair, and the related stacking and folding processes and movements are indicated by arrows in FIGS. 8 to 10. The finally folded chair is shown in FIG. 11, and the foldable chair has the advantages of occupying not much storage space and providing an easy way for storage and transportation.

In summation of the description above, the first preferred embodiment of the present invention includes the chair mechanism mounted onto the base support, and the chair mechanism is driven and moved by the driving component, and the pivoting position of the chair frame of the chair mechanism and the front base frame of the base support is used as a pivoting center, such that the back frame, the chair frame, the leg frame and the armrests can be moved like four link rods with respect to the base support of the chair mechanism as shown in FIGS. 3 to 7. In addition to the lying function, the chair also assists users particularly the elderly and mobility impaired people to stand up. The assistive stand-up status of the chair is shown in FIG. 7.

A chair mechanism 5 includes a back frame 51, a chair frame 52, a leg frame 53 and two armrests 54 disposed on left and right sides of the chair mechanism 5 respectively, wherein the chair frame 52 is situated between the front and rear base frames 41, 42, and left and right sides proximate to the front of the chair frame 52 are pivotally installed on left and right sides proximate to the top of the front base frame 41, and left and right sides of a distal end of the front of the chair frame 52 are pivotally coupled to left and right sides of the leg frame 53, and left and right sides of the rear of the chair frame 52 are pivotally coupled to left and right sides proximate to the bottom of the back frame 51, and left and right sides proximate to the top of the leg frame 53 are pivotally coupled to the front end of the two armrests 54, and the rear end of the two armrests 54 come with a dislocation design, and pivotally coupled to left and right sides of the back frame 51, and the pivoting position of the armrests 54 and the back frame 51 is higher than the pivoting position of the chair frame 52 and the back frame 51. Of course, the back frame 51 and the chair frame 52 of the embodiment can include a back cushion and a seat cushion (not shown in the figure) provided for a user to sit.

A driving component 6 includes a contractible driving device 61 and a follower 60 disposed at the bottom of the chair frame 52, and an end of the driving device 61 is pivotally installed at the front base frame 41, and another end of the driving device 61 is pivotally coupled to the follower 60, and an end of the follower 60 is pivotally coupled to the bottom of the back frame 51, and another end of the follower 60 is pivotally installed at the top of the rear base frame 42, wherein the driving device 61 of this embodiment is a hydraulic cylinder, a pneumatic cylinder, a lifting motor or a linear actuator that can be extended or contracted during the operation, and the driving device 61 further includes an operating interface (not shown in the figure) provided for users to control and adjust the movement of the assistive stand-up chair.

In this embodiment, the follower 60 includes a link element 63, a driving rod 64 and two transmission elements 65, and an end of the link element 63 is pivotally coupled to another end of the driving device 61, and another end of the link element 63 is fixed onto a driving rod 64 disposed at the bottom of the chair frame 52, and an axial direction of the driving rod 64 is perpendicular to the extending and contracting direction of the driving device 61, and both ends of the driving rod 64 are coupled to the two transmission elements 65 respectively, and an end of each transmission element 65 is pivotally coupled to left and right sides proximate to the bottom of the back frame 51, and another end of each transmission element 65 is pivotally coupled to left and right sides proximate to the top of the rear base frame 42, wherein the pivoting position of the transmission element 65 and the rear base frame 42 is higher than the pivoting position of the connecting element 43 and the rear base frame 42. The pivoting position of the chair frame 52 and the front base frame 41 is used as a moving center, such that the chair mechanism 5 can be driven by the driving device 61 to produce an assistive stand-up movement with respect to the base support 4.

With reference to FIGS. 15 to 17, FIG. 15 shows an application of a user lying on the user's back. Assumed that a user (not shown in the figure) is sitting on the chair frame 52, and the user's back is leaning against the back frame 51, the driving and linking relation of components such as the driving component 6 allows the stand-up chair to be set in statuses as shown in FIGS. 16 and 17. Finally, the user can lie and rest on the chair in a supine position as shown in FIG. 17. More specifically, the driving device 61 of the driving component 6 is retracted to produce a linking effect for components including the link element 63, the driving rod 64 and the transmission element 65 to allow the back frame 51, the chair frame 52, the leg frame 53 and the armrests 54 of the chair mechanism 5 to be moved like four link rods, so as to produce a tilted effect, wherein the back frame 51 and the leg frame 53 tend to be disposed in a horizontal position after being tilted.

When the user wants to stand up, the chair may be situated at an initial status as shown in FIG. 15 or 17. Now, the driving and linking relation of components including the driving component 6 can be used for assisting users to stand up as shown in FIGS. 18 and 19, so that the chair can assist and support users such as the elderly and mobility impaired people to stand up. More specifically, the driving device 61 of the driving component 6 is extended to produce a linking effect for components including the link element 63, the driving rod 64 and the transmission element 65, so as to move the back frame 51, the chair frame 52, the leg frame 53 and the armrests 54 of the chair mechanism 5 like four link rods and tend to tilt them to a vertical position, wherein the back frame 51 and the leg frame 53 are almost in a vertical status, and the armrests 54 and the chair frame 22 are tilted more than the general original status as shown in FIG. 15. Therefore, a user can hold the armrests 54 by both hands and produce an upward force by pushing the chair frame 52 by the user's hip to stand up more easily, while the user is standing up. Obviously, such design can achieve the effect of assisting users to stand up.

With reference to FIGS. 20 to 23, this embodiment further comprises a pivoting portion 511 disposed at a position where the armrests 54 and the chair frame 52 are pivotally coupled to the back frame 51 and provided for folding and stacking the stand-up chair, and the pivoting portion 511 of this embodiment is a through hole, such that when the pivoting position of the armrests 54 and the back frame 51 is displaced and pivotally installed at the pivoting portion 511, the base support 4, the chair mechanism 5 and the driving component 6 can be stacked and folded. Of course, the same effect can be achieved by components such as bolts and nuts. When folded, the front and rear base frames 41, 42 can be pivotally turned and folded to the rear and front of the stand-up chair, and the back frame 51 and leg frame 53 can be pivotally turned and folded towards the front and rear of the stand-up chair. Of course, the pivoting position of the armrests 54 and the back frame 51 can come with a dislocation design. In other words, an integral slide slot (not shown in the figure) can be formed separately on both sides of the back frame 51 for pivotally coupling related components that are passed therein, so as to produce up and down displacements and facilitate the folding process. The folding process and related movements are indicated by arrows as shown in FIGS. 20 to 23. Finally, the folded chair as shown in FIG. 23 has the advantages of occupying not much space and providing an easy way for storage and transportation.

In summation of the description above, the second preferred embodiment of the present invention also includes a chair mechanism mounted onto the base support, and the chair mechanism is driven and moved by a driving component, wherein the pivoting position of the chair frame of the chair mechanism and the front base frame of the base support is used as a pivoting center, such that the back frame, the chair frame, the leg frame and the armrests of the chair mechanism can be moved with respect to the base support like four link rods as shown in FIGS. 15 to 19. The chair not just provides a function for a user to lie on the user's back only, but also supports and assists the user such as the elderly and mobility impaired people to stand up. The status of the chair for supporting and assisting users to stand up is shown in FIG. 19. Obviously, the design with an assistive stand-up function of the present invention is more convenient and useful than the traditional chairs. Different configurations of the present invention allow consumers to select a chair according to their requirements. As to manufacturers, the chairs can be manufactured selectively to minimize costs. In addition to the aforementioned advantages, different embodiments also show that the present invention can achieve the effect of assisting users to stand up conveniently.

While the invention has been described by means of specific embodiments, numerous modifications and variations could be made thereto by those ordinarily skilled in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention set forth in the claims.
