Abstract
Chair with a seat and an inherently elastically compliant back rest that consists in the hip area of several transverse ribs separated from one another by interspaces, which are held together by connectors in such a way that the transverse ribs can rotate with respect to one another around horizontal axes, and that the connectors consist of film hinges with rotation-limiting elements bridging over the interspaces, with the seat together with the back rest and together with the transverse ribs being molded in one piece from plastic over continuous cross sections, formed by the film hinges and spring elements associated with them.
Claims9
A chair having a seat, a back, and an inherently elastically compliant back rest in the hip area, said chair comprising:
- said back rest being formed of a plurality of transverse ribs, said ribs being separated from one another by interspaces;
- a plurality of connectors holding said ribs together and holding said ribs to said seat and said back, said connectors allowing said transverse ribs to rotate around horizontal axes with respect with one another, said connectors being formed of mutually coacting film hinges, spring means and rotation limiting means, said connectors being molded of plastic in one piece over continuous cross-sections together with said seat, said back and said back rest.
