Description

[0001] The utility model refers to the field of office and home furniture, namely devices for creating comfort during long-term operation of the computer and for the prevention of diseases of the musculoskeletal system.

[0002] For mounting on backrests (RU 20289, IPC A47C 7 / 46, B60N 2 / 00, publ 27.10.2001 d) with a cushion, an element for attachment to the backrest, which is reclined by the upholstery. The cushion is inflatable and equipped with an autonomous pumping device.

[0003] The disadvantage is a small range of adjustment of the position and the degree of support

[0004] A chair is known (RU 29641, IPC A47B 39 / 00, A47V 39 / 10, A47V 39 / 12, publ 27.05.2003 d) includes a seat and its support, a backrest with a movable stop preferably for the lumbar spine (lordosis), equipped with a parallelogram mechanism connecting the stop to the backrest of the chair - the possibility of vertical adjustment of the stop in the lumbar zone, the position of the correct posture "sitting" of a particular person, wherein the stop is fixed by means of a rigidly connected shoe on the upper axis of the parallelogram mechanism and is equipped with a regulator of an angle of inclination of the stop and a limiter of its movement, - a parallelogram mechanism located in the slot in one of the sides of the parallelogram mechanism.

[0005] The disadvantage is that the stop can be attached strictly at specific points (circumference of the circular sector) during vertical adjustment.

[0006] The technical task of the utility model is to provide a lumbar support that can be mounted on the backrest frame and provides position adjustment over a wide range.

[0007] The technical result is to provide support for the waist by placing it evenly on the back of the user against the back of the chair

[0008] The task and the technical result are solved by an adjustable lumbar support with a frame with grooves, according to: which can be moved and fixed in a certain position by the position adjustment unit of the lumbar support, in which the elastic bands are tensioned by turning the screws.

[0009] According to the utility model, the frame can be attached to the frame of the backrest of the chair using a screw connection through the holes.

[0010] According to the utility model, the adjustment assembly can adjust the position of the anvil relative to the backrest padding by turning the wing nut.

[0011] The nature of the model is explained using drawings of an embodiment of an adjustable lumbar support, where Fig. 1a a lumbar pore and in Fig. 1b shows a sectional view of the adjustment unit. In Fig. Figure 2 shows a general view of the seat.

[0012] 2 The adjustable lumbar support comprises a frame 1, which consists of two horizontally arranged plates - two vertically arranged outer plates 3 and two vertically arranged inner plates 4. All plates are connected to each other by a welded joint. The plate 4 has grooves along which the adjustment unit 5 with the stop 6 is moved. The adjustment unit 5 has a carriage 7, a wing nut 8 and a rivet nut 9. The carriage 7 consists of a U-shaped plate 10, a nut 11, a washer 12 and a screw 13. 6 consists of curved metal plates 14, a plug 15, clamps 16, screws 17 and straps 18.

[0013] The use of a screw connection in the connection of the frame 1 and the carriage 7 makes it possible to fix the position of the stop 6 by pressing the plate 4 against the washer 12 while tightening the screw 13.

[0014] The possibility of rotating the jaws 16 with respect to the screws 17 allows the position of the strap 18 to ensure a uniform fit on the back of the chair

[0015] The combination of the adjustment option by means of the wing nut 8 and the nut 11 makes it possible to provide the necessary position of the stop 6

[0016] Thus, the claimed utility model provides a reliable, adjustable lumbar support that can be mounted on the back frame with soft padding and provides position adjustment over a wide range. QUOTES CONTAINED IN THE DESCRIPTION
