Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an adjusting device comprising a brake body which is adjustable between a braking position in which the brake body is brought into frictional contact with a braking surface, and a release position in which the brake body is retracted from the braking surface, a load input section therefor is to receive a loading force of a user, and a load triggering mechanism, which converts a force acting on the load input portion loading force in an adjustment movement of the brake body from the release position to the braking position.
  • the invention relates to a mobile unit with such an actuator, with which the movement of the mobile unit along a substrate can be braked.
  • Actuators of the above type are known in the art, for example in the form of foot-operated brakes on rollable trolleys or other pieces of furniture.
  • a brake By loading a load input section through the foot of a user, a brake can be adjusted from the release position to the braking position to prevent unintentional rolling away of the unit.
  • a disadvantage of such braking devices is that the user has to perform a separate, sometimes somewhat complicated operation of the brake in order to ensure the securing of the unit against unintentional movement. If the user forgets the operation of the brake, then unintentional results or even accidents can not be ruled out, for example if a user leans on a piece of furniture that is not sufficiently secured against rolling away or sits down on it.
  • the rolling or sliding movement of the mobile unit is generally desirable in some situations. So should be about in the case of an office chair provided with castors, mobility of the chair along the ground, even in the loaded state of the unit, may be possible in a controlled manner. Accordingly, there should basically be the possibility of an unrestricted movement of such a unit.
  • an object of the present invention to provide an actuating device which can slow down or block inadvertent movement of the unit in a mobile unit, which, however, at the same time allows a controlled movement of the mobile unit at the request of the user.
  • an adjusting device comprising a brake body which is adjustable between a braking position in which the brake body is brought into frictional contact with a braking surface, and a release position in which the brake body is retracted from the braking surface, a load input portion which is arranged to receive a loading force of a user, a load triggering mechanism which converts a loading force acting on the load input portion into an adjusting movement of the brake body from the release position to the braking position, and a brake release mechanism arranged to move the brake body from the braking position to the release position to adjust while acting on the load input section, the loading force.
  • the adjusting device thus comprises, on the one hand, a load-triggering mechanism which ensures that the brake, upon application of a load by the user, reaches the braking position in order to prevent inadvertent movement in this way.
  • a brake release mechanism according to the invention is provided which, even with continuous action of the loading force, a controlled release of the brake by user operation and thus a movement of mobile unit on request allows.
  • the actuator is incorporated in a rollable piece of furniture such as an office chair
  • a user's force acting in a vertical direction can be translated to a braking position of the brake body, so that the brake automatically becomes effective as soon as the user moves the piece of furniture downwardly loaded, for example, sits down on the chair or in a direction obliquely down against this leaning.
  • the brake is automatically activated accordingly and prevents unintentional rolling away of the furniture under the effect of this loading force. If the user then sits on the furniture or leaning against it and then decides to allow a rolling movement of the furniture, the brake release mechanism of the invention allows the brake body to be adjusted to the release position so that the desired movement can be made along the ground.
  • the adjusting device further comprises a return mechanism, which resets the load release mechanism in an initial state upon removal of the loading force, so that the load release mechanism then converts a load force acting again on the load input portion into an adjustment movement of the brake body from the release position to the brake position.
  • a return mechanism which resets the load release mechanism in an initial state upon removal of the loading force, so that the load release mechanism then converts a load force acting again on the load input portion into an adjustment movement of the brake body from the release position to the brake position.
  • the return mechanism reliably and automatically returns the actuator to an initial state, so that when re-acting the load, such as the user or a another user sets again on the piece of furniture or leans against this, the load release mechanism always automatically puts the brake body in the braking position to secure the mobile unit against accidental rolling or slipping.
  • the load receiving portion and the load triggering mechanism are adapted to receive a substantially vertically downwardly acting loading force.
  • the braking function can then be activated in particular at least partially by the weight of a user.
  • the brake body can move in its movement from the release position to the braking position in the downward direction to allow a simple structure and reliable operation.
  • a downward force acting force can be converted by the weight of the user in a simple manner in a braking force.
  • the load triggering mechanism comprises a first actuating element, which is movable by the action of the loading force along a control axis, for example, vertically downward movable.
  • the loading force can be used directly as a force to move the actuator.
  • the first adjusting element may be biased by a first elastic means in a direction counteracting the loading force, so that a removal of the loading force can be automatically converted into a corresponding opposite movement of the actuating element and a corresponding provision of the adjusting device is possible.
  • the actuator transmits the loading force to a brake actuator to cause the actual braking movement of the brake body.
  • the brake body may be formed on the brake actuator (or even form the brake actuator itself) or the brake body can be moved by the brake actuator.
  • the brake release mechanism may in particular be adapted to adjust the brake control element in its movement from the braking position to the release position so that a distance between the brake body and the first control element is smaller.
  • the brake release mechanism allows an adjustment of the brake body from the braking position to the release position, and this although the first actuator remains in the loaded position. In other words, the brake body moves in the power transmission chain to the first actuator.
  • a second elastic means may be provided which biases the brake body in a direction towards the first actuating element. This can be helpful in particular when the brake body is located in the vertical direction below the first control element, so that the second elastic device can then be selected so that it overcomes the weight of the brake body or the brake actuator.
  • the brake release mechanism can cause relative rotation between the brake actuator and the first actuator, in particular a relative rotation about the actuator.
  • Such a brake release mechanism can in particular be designed to save space.
  • the brake releasing mechanism may further comprise, in another embodiment of the invention, an operating portion for manual operation by a user, a second adjusting member movable by the operating portion along the adjusting axis, and a control portion converting the sliding movement of the second adjusting member into rotational movement of the first adjusting member.
  • This embodiment is particularly advantageous when said rotational movement of the first actuator changes a coupling between the first actuator and the brake actuator, for example, changed between a state for transmitting a motive force from the first actuator to the brake actuator in the direction of the braking position and a state of cancellation this power transmission, so that an approximation of the brake actuator to the first actuator is possible.
  • the adjusting device further comprises a foot portion, relative to which the load input portion is rotatably mounted, and that the brake release mechanism comprises an operating portion for manual operation by a user, wherein the actuating portion is rotatable relative to the foot portion together with the load input portion.
  • the operating section rotates / raises in unison with the seating surface and the load input section and is always in the same position with respect to a person seated thereon, so that it can be operated reliably.
  • the operating portion may be a lever whose fulcrum may then be rotatable relative to the foot portion together with the load input portion.
  • the lever rotation axis can thereby run parallel to the axis of rotation of the load input section relative to the foot section.
  • the operating portion may comprise a cable pull mechanism with a pull cable guided in a cable guide, in which case the cable guide together with the load input portion may be rotatable relative to the foot portion.
  • a cable pull mechanism allows increased freedom of design with respect to the choice of travel path of the actuation section.
  • an electromechanical actuation by a button or the like as an operating portion is conceivable.
  • the load input portion may be rotatable relative to the foot portion about an adjusting axis and the adjusting device may then have an actuating element which is rotatable about this adjusting axis to move the brake body from the braking position to the release position when the actuating element is actuated by a user.
  • the choice of the same axis for the rotational movements of load input section, foot section and Control element can simplify the structure of the adjusting device.
  • the adjusting device may further comprise a Gaznverstellmechanismus, the Constellmechanismus having a first part and a second part, which are selectively movable or lockable for the purpose of length adjustment relative to each other, wherein the first part receives the loading force of the load input portion and the second part in the locked state, the loading force in the direction of the brake body passes.
  • the length adjustment mechanism can operate in particular independently of the load release mechanism or the brake release mechanism.
  • the above-described functions of the automatic brake function and the brake release mechanism are thus independent of a currently set length of the length adjustment mechanism. In the example of a rollable chair, the brake function is thus independent of the set seat height of the chair.
  • the actuating element is attached to the first part or held in rotation therewith relative to it, so that it is moved with a movement of the first part and thus is movable together with the load input section.
  • a person seated or supported on the load input portion can then always find the operation portion at the same position regardless of a current position of the load input portion relative to a foot portion.
  • the length adjustment mechanism may comprise a pneumatic or hydraulic piston-cylinder unit, in particular a lockable gas spring.

  • the chair can be adjustable between a first configuration as a seat and a second configuration as a standing aid.
  • a standing aid is loaded obliquely downward in one direction when in use by the user. There is thus a load component in the horizontal direction, which carries the risk that the standing aid rolls away or slips when a user leans against it. Unsecured, that means unchecked, can be one Steh Anlagen thus lead to accidents.
  • the adjusting device can be adjusted so that the load component acting in the downward direction is sufficient to automatically adjust the brake body by the load release mechanism from the release position to the braking position.

  • the overload device is realized in that the claw 188 is mounted with limited play movable on the jaw body 187 and is biased by a second spring 191 in the direction of the shift sleeve 189.
  • the game is big enough for that Disconnect teeth of claw 188 and shift sleeve 189 against the force of the second spring 191 disengaged when in a state in which the actuating lever 162 counterclockwise in FIG.
  • the rotational movement of the shift sleeve 189 is converted into a rotational movement of a first actuating element 142, which is responsible in a corresponding manner, as described above for the first embodiment, as part of the brake release mechanism for releasing a brake by lifting a brake actuator.
  • a second actuator 164 is provided, which is arranged coaxially with the first actuator 142 and rotatably, but axially displaceable, with the first actuator 142 is coupled, for example, by engagement of an axial rib 168 of the second actuator 164 in an axial longitudinal opening 170 of the first control element 142.
  • the second control element 164 is in turn rotatably connected to the shift sleeve 189 or formed integrally therewith.
  • the operation of the adjusting element 128 differs from that of the first embodiment substantially by the above-described arrangement and function of the operating lever 162, in particular by the fact that the actuating lever 162 remains stationary in its initial position (without actuation) relative to the seat portion (load input portion), that is rotates with a rotation of the seat portion with and also in a height adjustment of the seat portion is moved together with the seat portion in the vertical direction.
  • the actuating housing 182, which carries the actuating lever 162 is non-rotatably connected to the first part 130 of the gas spring 122, to which also the seat portion is to be fastened (although the seat portion in FIG FIG. 10 not shown, but so for example on FIGS.
  • the first part 130 of the gas spring 122 is longitudinally displaceably guided in a guide sleeve and rotatably guided to allow an adjustment of the seat height and a rotation of the seat.
  • the operating lever 162 thus rotates and rises together with the seat and is always accessible to the user at the same position.
  • Figures 13 and 14 show a third embodiment of the invention, which represents a variant of the second embodiment. Elements and features which are the same as or correspond to those of the first or second embodiment are designated by references 200 and 100, respectively. In the following, only the differences to the first or second embodiment will be discussed in more detail and reference is otherwise made to the above descriptions of the first or second embodiment.
  • a Bowden cable arrangement with a pull cable 292, which is guided in a cable guide 293, takes the place of the actuating lever 162 of the second exemplary embodiment.
  • the cable guide 293 is fixedly provided on an actuating housing 282, which in turn can be formed in the manner described above for the second embodiment and attached to a first part of a gas spring, so that it can rotate with a seat portion.
  • An end body 294 of the traction cable 292 is hooked into a claw body 287, which corresponds in its other design and function of the claw body 187 of the second embodiment, in particular about a lever axis 263 is pivotally provided in a switching ring 280.
  • the switching ring 280 is in turn in the manner described in the second embodiment about a control axis H rotatably mounted on the actuator housing 282.
  • actuated position pulls the pull cable 292 then the jaw body 287 on and causes a common rotational movement of jaw body 287, jaw 288, shift ring 280 and shift sleeve 289 to the adjusting axis H to release the brake.
  • a return spring 295 rotates the shift ring 280 and the pawl body back to their original positions.
  • the flexibility of length and path of the Bowden cable can be used to position an actuator (not shown), via which the Bowden cable assembly is actuated, to a suitable position of the chair, which is easily accessible to the user.
  • the actuating element may be arranged on a seat device.
  • the function of the actuator assembly of the third embodiment is similar to that of the first or second embodiment.
