BACK REST-CARRYING CHAIR.

摘要

A chair provided with a backrest for use in offices, etc., comprising an inner shell (2) and an outer shell (3). Conventional chairs of this type have a problem that there is little freedom in design with respect to strength and flexibility since only the inner shell serves as a structural member. An object of this chair is to increase the freedom. To this end, in the chair of this invention, the outer shell (3) as well as the inner shell (2) are formed as an integral body L-shaped in side view and comprising a seat portion (31) and a backrest portion (32), so that a three-dimensional shell structure is formed. In this chair, various measures are taken to solve the problem caused by the outer shell which is formed into an integral body. First, a fixed shell (6) is adopted for preventing a gap from being formed. Also, to obtain a required resiliency the shells (2, 3) are of such a construction as to allow a positional shift between the shells, and the inner shell (2) is supported by two brackets (118, 119) . In order not to make the user feel uneasy upon resilient deformation of the shells, they are so constructed that the backrest point (d) can be suitably shifted. Moreover, to connect the shells properly claws (302, 602) of a particular type and inclined bolts (355) are used. Also, to make a mechanism to be provided between the shells (2,3) as compact as possible, the balancing members (101) support a backrest suppport (104).
