Definitions

• the present finding concerns a device for adjusting the inclination and, consequently, the height of the arms with respect to the plane of the seat of a chair.
• the purpose of the present finding is that of making a chair in which the arms can be adjusted in height with respect to the plane of the seat and in which it is possible to keep the angle formed between the forearm and the back of the person unchanged as the inclination of the back varies; the relative moving device must be simple to construct, it must be made up of a limited number of elements and it must not require any maintenance.
• Such a purpose is obtained with a device that simply consists of a gas spring, coupled with a lever arm, so as to form a link mechanism between the arm and the back.
• the small size of the entire device allows it to be positioned on the back without compromising the seating comfort of the person sat down.
• fig. 1 represents an overall view of a chair equipped with the device according to the finding
• fig. 2 represents a front elevated section view of the back equipped with the device according to the finding
• fig. 3 represents a detailed view, according to the direction "X" of fig. 2
• fig. 4 (Table III) represents a lower perspective view of the back according to fig. 2
• fig. 5 (Table IV) represents a front perspective view of the back according to fig. 2.
• the device supports the arched structure 2 of the arms and is applied to the inner part of the rigid wall 3 of the back 4.
• the device 1 is in the form of an articulated link mechanism made up of a gas spring 5 and a lever arm 6 hinged together at their end points 7; said link mechanism is idly fitted onto the wall 3, with the pin 8, at the spring and with the pin 9 at the lever arm, respectively.
• the arched structure 2 is applied and supported, outside the wall 3 and partially penetrating into the back through the opening 11 made on said wall .
• the actuation of the gas spring 5 can, in a preferred embodiment, be obtained mechanically through a flexible wire 12 connected to a button 13, arranged on one of the arms.
