Abstract
A one-piece office chair in three dimensions made of composite plastic materials with an adjusting apparatus comprises a middle axle seat, a seat frame, a back frame, and two armrests, all of which are formed in one-piece to complete the entire chair frame. Also, an adjusting apparatus is applied to provide supports and elasticity for the chair frame, enabling the back frame to adjust the angle in accordance with users' movements. With the dynamic design and the resilience of the materials, the present invention further allows sideway movements in three-dimensional angles by having the back frame and the seat frame adjusting the angle from a middle axle seat thereof; meanwhile, the back frame thereof also allows lying back movement, featuring the present invention a comfortable seating in every angle.
Claims6
A one-piece office chair in three dimensions, comprising a one-piece chair frame and an adjusting apparatus;
- wherein said chair frame is made of resilient composite plastic materials, including:
- a middle axle seat with a combination hole arranged beneath and a first convexity at rear;
- a plurality of supporting arms in arc shape, each extending upwards from said middle axle seat as a claw under;
- a seat frame formed on the top of each supporting arms with a front frame, a rear frame, a left frame, and a right frame, defining a first quadrant and a second quadrant at the front thereof, and a third quadrant and a fourth quadrant at the rear thereof from the middle axle seat as the center, where an empty space is arranged between the rear thereof and the middle axle seat, and a left tractional element and a right tractional element extend from the corresponding left and right frame, downwards and then inwardly extending to connect to the rear frame, defining a symmetrical structure in curves;
- a second convexity arranged in the middle of said seat frame at the rear thereof, corresponding to said first convexity;
- a one-piece back frame formed by extending upwards from the rear of the seat frame;
- two armrests extending upwards from the corresponding left and right sides of said seat frame, on top of each a flat surface is formed, and each flat surface further extends to said back frame so as to complete the structure of said chair frame;
- and
- wherein said adjusting apparatus includes a first tube, a second tube, and a spring arranged inside said first and second tube as the first and second tube being mutually coupled and able to displace axially with a first socket on a first top corresponding to said first convexity whereby said first top fitting the bottom of said first tube, and a second socket on a second top corresponding to said second convexity whereby said second top fitting the top of said second tube, thereby enabling the first and second tube to stretch axially by the spring inside and therefore engaging said first and second socket with said first and second convexity, so as to provide elastic support to said seat frame and back frame whenever the spring is pressed by the movements of back frame and then adjusts the angle by having the first and second convexity revolving around the first and second sockets;
- whereby the back frame and the seat frame can adjust the angle from the middle axle seat, allowing sideway movements of the chair and lying backwards of the back frame.
