Patient Chair With Quaternary Spring Motion
US Patent:
2002000, Jan 3, 2002
Filed:
Jun 14, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/881544
Inventors:
Samuel Conte - Fort Wayne IN, US
International Classification:
A47C001/024
US Classification:
297/302300
Abstract:
A patient chair has a support pedestal with a pair of front legs, a pair of rear legs, a pair of side members, a rear frame member connecting the two rear legs and a cross member connecting the side members at a location between the front and rear legs. A pair of leaf springs is attached to the underside of the cross member with portions thereof extending forwardly and rearwardly therefrom in a substantially horizontal manner. Each leaf spring includes a U-shaped bight or loop portion at the forwardmost extremity of the leaf spring coupling the forwardly extending portion with a horizontal overlying portion which passes over the cross member and extends rearwardly therefrom terminating in an orthogonally generally upwardly extending back support portion. A seat is fastened to the horizontal overlying portion of each leaf spring for receiving and supporting a chair occupant. Each leaf spring is provided with two spaced apart resilient members which are fixed to the chair and engage the horizontal overlying portion when the seat is supporting a load. The resilient members contribute to the spring action opposing closing of the U, but not to the spring effect opposing opening of the U.
Reclining Chair With Foot And Leg Rest
US Patent:
2005014, Jun 30, 2005
Filed:
Dec 1, 2004
Appl. No.:
11/001379
Inventors:
Samuel Conte - Fort Wayne IN, US
International Classification:
A47C001/02
US Classification:
297068000
Abstract:
An actuator assembly is provided for use with a chair to actuate movement of the chair leg rest in response to recline of the backrest. The backrest drives translational motion of an actuator rod that is pivotingly connected at its upper end to the backrest. The rod passes through a linear slide bearing block that is pivotingly connected to the rear end of the seat. The rod is connected at its lower end to a linkage mechanism that actuates movement of the leg rest. The pivot point for the slide bearing block is off-center or offset relative to a central location thereof. This offset pivot connection produces an asymmetrical pivoting action in the slide bearing block. Each side of the chair is equipped with an identical arrangement of actuating-related components to provide a stable system.
