Benefits of technology

The present invention is a computer chair that reduces fatigue and discomfort for users who work on computers for long periods of time. The chair has a tilting backrest that supports the loads from the user's upper body, reducing the concentration of loads on the spine. The chair also has a dual rotary type wrist rest that moves and supports the weights of the arms, reducing fatigues at the wrists and arms. Additionally, the chair has a leg support part that supports the user's legs with the legs being unfolded, providing more comfort when keeping the legs in a relaxed position. Overall, the chair design improves the user's comfort and allows for longer periods of work without fatigue or discomfort.

Problems solved by technology

To meet the above mentioned demands, several ideas have been suggested and products invented to improve the computer workspace; however it is still difficult to find a computer chair which has been developed under the analysis of the structure of a human body and minimizing fatigue of the user's body.
Many computer users are still working on the computer for long periods of time in poor postures under unimproved computer using environment, so they may suffer from conditions such as the VDT (Visual Display Terminal) syndrome.
The above mentioned two postures may cause fatigue on the spine, which may lead to a herniated cervical disc or the carpal tunnel syndrome.
Such problems have occurred because the existing computer using environments are designed without consideration of user's postures.
In the current computer working environment, the user has to bend his neck and back forward so as to see the monitor whose center is often lower than the user's viewing height, which consequently causes a continuous fatigue on the user's body.
Most of the existing computer workspace fails to consider the above mentioned physical characteristics of the computer user in its design.

Embodiment Construction

[0025]The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026]The computer chair according to the present invention comprises a T-shaped metallic bottom frame member 51 which is two times wider than the width of a seat and is two times longer than the length between the front and rear ends of the seat bottom in order to support the whole structure and prevent the structure from wobbling or falling aside.

[0027]The bottom frame member 51 is made of a pipe whose cross section is rectangular. Each connection portion of the bottom frame member 51 is bolted or welded using a connection member.

[0028]At the bottom of an end portion of each member of the bottom frame member 51 is installed a screw type height adjusting support part 56 which is made of such material as rubber or urethane having an impact absorbing function so as to prevent any slipping or damages to the indoor floor.

[0029]At the top of the bottom frame member 51 a...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a computer chair comprising a seat support, a leg support, a monitor mount, a rotatable keyboard and mouse support and double rotatable armrests centred on a power seat which allows sitting posture to be adjusted so as to match the body form of the user. The object of the present invention is to make computer usage environments more ergonomic than hitherto, and to provide a computer usage environment which allows the user to perform more work effectively as they feel less tired even when operating a computer for a long time.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates to a computer chair, and in particular to a computer chair which allows a user to work on a computer in a comfortable posture by providing to a chair, whose posture is adjustable by a motor, a frame structure which can be equipped with a computer basic element such as a monitor, a computer body, a keyboard and a mouse and other computer peripherals.BACKGROUND ART[0002]As information and communication technologies advance, a computer is widely used to process a variety of work, so the computer has become a key appliance in life, and computer usage continues to increase. Many computer users strongly want to work on computers in a more comfortable posture.[0003]To meet the above mentioned demands, several ideas have been suggested and products invented to improve the computer workspace; however it is still difficult to find a computer chair which has been developed under the analysis of the structure of a human body and minimizing fati...
