Benefits of technology

[0023]In the support shaft, an elastic member that is provided below the seat surface part and that returns the seat part to an original position is preferably disposed between the seat part and the frame. The support shaft is disposed below a seating part. Therefore, there is no risk of, e.g., part of the body of the operator coming into contact with the support shaft.

Problems solved by technology

Operations are not readily performed on the ceiling.

Abstract

A work seat apparatus (20) in which an operator (22) can work on a workpiece (13) while seated. The apparatus includes a horizontal first arm part (31) that is raised and lowered by a raising and lowering part (29), and a second arm part (32). The second arm part (32) is rotatably provided to the first arm part via a joint part (34). A seat on which the operator sits is rotatably provided to a distal end part of the second arm part and is readily brought near to an operation position.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates to a work seat apparatus in which an operator can perform an operation on a workpiece while sitting.BACKGROUND ART[0002]In a vehicle assembly line, an operator performs operations in a standing posture, a crouching posture, a seated posture while sitting in a seat, or a bent-over posture. A seated posture is preferable for increasing the ease with which tasks are performed. In other words, an operation can comfortably be performed if the operator can perform the operation while seated in a seat. A work seat apparatus for this purpose is disclosed in, e.g., Japanese Patent No, 3241492. The disclosed work seat apparatus shall be described below with reference to FIG. 18 hereof.[0003]A work seat apparatus 200 comprises a pair of travel rails 202, 202 anchored to a ceiling frame 201; a hanger rail 203 hung on the travel rails 202, 202 in a manner that allows movement in a direction perpendicular to the drawing; a slider 204 supported by...
