Benefits of technology

[0006]A dual use office and leisure chair is provided that overcomes the shortcomings of existing technology. A chair back is provided that is hingeably attached with the handrails. Installation of a pneumatic rod and adjustment device hingeably attached to the chair back enables adjustment to different inclination angles for the chair back, the inclination angle is selectively fixed at any angle within the travel of the pneumatic rod. Simple adjustment, easy use, and long lifetime make it possible to achieve office and leisure dual use for the chair.

Problems solved by technology

The inability to adjust the chair back from one fixed angle has limited the usefulness of such chairs and contributes to worker fatigue.
When an office worker feels tired, there is a tendency to recline his upper body to relax, but the conventional unadjustable chair back angle cannot satisfy the need of a worker for relaxation.

Embodiment Construction

[0013]The present invention has utility as a chair with a moveable chair back hingeably attached to two handrails through shafts. The installation of pneumatic rod and adjustment device hingeably attached with the chair back enables adjustment to different inclination angles α of the chair back that can simultaneously be selectively locked at a desired inclination angle α. Simple adjustment, easy use, and long lifetime make it possible to achieve both office and leisure dual use to the inventive chair. Typical range of inclination angle α range from 80 to 140 degrees and preferably are between 90 and 120 degrees. The minimum angle α is typically between 80 and 95 degrees, while the maximal angle α is typically between 100 and 140 degrees.

[0014]An inventive dual use office and leisure chair includes the chair legs, a chassis, a sitting board, and two handrails attached to the seat. The moveable chair back is hingeably attached to the bounding two handrails through a shaft. Opening sl...

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims priority benefit of PRC utility model application 2010291800437 filed Feb. 4, 2010, the contents of which are incorporated by reference.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention in general relates to a chair, and in particular to a dual use office and leisure chair.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]An office chair now is one of the necessary office supplies for an organization, but the traditional office chair only provides chair seat vertical adjustment relative to the chair legs. The inability to adjust the chair back from one fixed angle has limited the usefulness of such chairs and contributes to worker fatigue. When an office worker feels tired, there is a tendency to recline his upper body to relax, but the conventional unadjustable chair back angle cannot satisfy the need of a worker for relaxation.[0004]To respond to this limitation, many of these types of chairs have emerged with chair backs constru...
