Abstract
A sitting apparatus having a frame configured to be situated at a sitting location. A seat assembly on the frame defines a support for a user in a sitting position. At least one armrest assembly has at least one surface to support an arm of a user in a sitting position on the seat assembly. The at least one armrest assembly is configured to be changed between first and second states. The at least one surface changes in angular relationship to a horizontal reference plane as an incident of the at least one armrest assembly changing between the first and second states.
Claims21
A sitting apparatus comprising:
- a frame configured to be situated at a sitting location;
- a seat assembly on the frame defining a support for a user in a sitting position;
- and
- at least one armrest assembly having at least one surface to support an arm of a user in a sitting position on the seat assembly,
- the at least one armrest assembly configured to be changed between first and second states,
- the at least one surface changing in angular relationship to a horizontal reference plane as an incident of the at least one armrest assembly changing between the first and second states,
- wherein the at least one surface moves in an arc centered above the at least one surface as the at least one armrest assembly changes between the first and second states.
The sitting apparatus according to claim wherein the sitting apparatus has a front and rear and laterally spaced sides and the sitting apparatus is configured so that a lateral inclination of the at least one surface can be changed.
A sitting apparatus comprising:
- a frame configured to be situated at a sitting location;
- a seat assembly on the frame defining a support for a user in a sitting position;
- and
- at least one armrest assembly having at least one surface to support an arm of a user in a sitting position on the seat assembly,
- the at least one armrest assembly configured to be changed between first and second states,
- the at least one surface changing in angular relationship to a horizontal reference plane as an incident of the at least one armrest assembly changing between the first and second states,
- wherein the at least one surface moves in an arc centered approximately at a height of the one surface.
A sitting apparatus comprising:
- a frame configured to be situated at a sitting location;
- a seat assembly on the frame defining a support for a user in a sitting position;
- and
- at least one armrest assembly having at least one surface to support an arm of a user in a sitting position on the seat assembly,
- the at least one armrest assembly configured to be changed between first and second states,
- the at least one surface changing in angular relationship to a horizontal reference plane as an incident of the at least one armrest assembly changing between the first and second states,
- the armrest assembly comprising a linkage with relatively movable link members that connect to each other and a part of the at least one armrest assembly that moves as one piece with the at least one surface for relative movement around four substantially parallel axes so that the linkage has a projecting pivot location around which the at least one surface moves in an arcuate path as the at least one armrest assembly is changed between the first and second states.
