At this time, the chair backrest rotation device (100) may be a left backrest rotation device connecting the left frame support (22) and the left backrest support (34), or a right backrest rotation device connecting the right frame support (24) and the right backrest support (36).

[0027] FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view showing an enlarged view of the chair backrest rotation device of FIG. 1, FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view showing only the chair backrest rotation device of FIG. 2 in enlarged view, and FIG. 4 is an exploded perspective view showing the chair backrest rotation device of FIG. 3 at a different angle.

[0028] Referring to FIGS. 2 to 4, the chair backrest rotation device (100) may include a tension spring (110), a first rotation body part (120), a second rotation body part (130), a tension adjustment part (140), and a rotation shaft coupling screw (150).

[0029] The tension spring (110) may include a spring body (112) having a cylindrical shape after rotating at least once, a first spring leg (114) connected to one end of the spring body (112), and a second spring leg (116) connected to the other end of the spring body (112). At this time, the tension spring (110) may have an initial angle (hereinafter referred to as the 'spring angle') between the first spring leg (114) and the second spring leg (116). For example, the tension spring (110) may include a torsion spring.

[0030] The first rotating body part (120) may include a first rotating body (120a) and a first spring fixing part (122).

[0031] The first rotating body (120a) may be connected to one side of either the chair frame (20) or the backrest (30). For example, the first rotating body (120a) may be connected to the left backrest support (34) of the backrest (30). Here, the first rotating body (120a) may be connected to be integrated with the left backrest support (34), or it may be connected by being combined with the left backrest support (34).

[0032] The first spring fixing part (122) is formed on one surface of the first rotating body (120a) facing the tension spring (110) and can fix the first spring leg (114). For example, the first spring fixing part (122) may include a spring fixing groove capable of receiving and fixing at least a portion of the first spring leg (114).

[0033] The second rotating body part (130) may include a second rotating body (130a) and a second spring fixing part (132).

[0034] The second rotating body (130a) may be connected to one side of the other of the chair frame (20) and the backrest (30). For example, the second rotating body (130a) may be connected to the left frame support (22) of the chair frame (20). Here, the second rotating body (130a) may be connected to be integrated with the left frame support (22), or may be connected by being combined with the left frame support (22).

[0035] Additionally, the second rotating body (130a) may be rotatably coupled to the first rotating body (120a). In this embodiment, either the first rotating body (120a) or the second rotating body (130a) may be rotatably coupled by having at least a portion of it inserted into the other of the first rotating body (120a) and the second rotating body (130a). In the drawing, the first rotating body (120a) may be inserted into the second rotating body (130a) and rotatably coupled. Specifically, the first rotating body (120a) may have a cylindrical shape, and the second rotating body (130a) may have a shape capable of accommodating the first rotating body (120a).

[0036] The second spring fixing part (134) is formed on one surface of the second rotating body (130a) facing the tension spring (110) and can fix the second spring leg (116). For example, the second spring fixing part (134) may include a spring leg receiving groove that can receive and fix at least a portion of the second spring leg (116). At this time, the width of the spring leg receiving groove may be formed to a size that allows the position of the second spring leg (116) to be changed.

[0037] The tension adjustment unit (140) is coupled to the second rotating body (130a) and can adjust the tension strength of the tension spring (110) by changing the position of the second spring leg (116) to adjust the spring angle. At this time, at least a portion of the tension adjustment unit (140) is placed in the spring leg receiving groove and can change the position of the second spring leg (116) by pushing the second spring leg (116). For example, at least a portion of the tension adjustment unit (140) is placed in the spring leg receiving groove and contacts the second spring leg (116), and can change the position of the second spring leg (116) by pushing the second spring leg (116) through user operation.

[0038] A tension adjustment groove (142) connected to the spring leg receiving groove may be formed in the second rotating body (130a). The tension adjustment part (140) may include a tension adjustment screw that penetrates the tension adjustment groove (142) and contacts the second spring leg (116), and when rotated in one direction, moves inward into the tension adjustment groove (142) to push the second spring leg (116) and change the position of the second spring leg (116). Accordingly, when the user of the above-mentioned backrest chair rotates the tension adjustment screw in the above-mentioned direction, the tension adjustment screw moves inward into the tension adjustment groove (142) to push the second spring leg (116) and change the position of the second spring leg (116), and when the user rotates the tension adjustment screw in the opposite direction to the above-mentioned direction, the tension adjustment screw moves outward into the tension adjustment groove (142) and changes the second spring leg (116) back to its original position.

[0039] Meanwhile, although the drawing illustrates the tension adjustment unit (140) in direct contact with the second spring leg (116) and directly pushes the second spring leg (116), at least one push means (not shown) may be disposed between the tension adjustment unit (140) and the second spring leg (116). That is, when a user operates the tension adjustment unit (140) to push the push means, the push means can push the second spring leg (116) again. The push means can perform the role of pushing the second spring leg (116) more easily. For example, the push means can perform the role of making the direction of movement of the tension adjustment unit (140) and the direction of movement of the second spring leg (116) different from each other. As an example, the push means may have a wedge shape. When the above-mentioned push means has the wedge shape, if the tension adjustment part (140) pushes the lower end of the wedge shape, the side of the wedge shape that gradually becomes thicker as it moves can push and move the second spring leg (116).

[0040] A first spring body groove (124) that accommodates a part of the spring body (112) may be formed on one side of the first rotating body (120a), and a second spring body groove (134) that accommodates another part of the spring body (112) may be formed on one side of the second rotating body (130a).

[0041] A first rotational shaft portion (126) that is received within the spring body (112) may be formed in the first spring body groove (124), and a second rotational shaft portion (136) that is received within the spring body (112) may be formed in the second spring body groove (134) at a position corresponding to the first rotational shaft portion (126).

[0042] The above-mentioned rotational shaft connecting screw (150) may rotatably penetrate either the first rotational shaft portion (126) or the second rotational shaft portion (136) and may be screw-coupled to either the first rotational shaft portion (126) or the second rotational shaft portion (136). For example, the above-mentioned rotational shaft connecting screw (150) may rotatably penetrate the second rotational shaft portion (136) and be screw-coupled to the first rotational shaft portion (126) to be fixed.

[0043] The first rotating body part (120) may further include a first rotation limiting part (128) formed on one surface of the first rotating body (120a) facing the second rotating body (130a), and the second rotating body part (130) may further include a second rotation limiting part (138) formed on one surface of the second rotating body (130a) facing the first rotating body (120a). At this time, the second rotation limiting part (138) may be combined with the first rotation limiting part (128) to limit the first rotating body (120a) to rotate only at a reference angle relative to the second rotating body (130a).

[0044] For example, either of the first rotation limiting part (128) and the second rotation limiting part (138) may include a rotation receiving groove. The other of the first rotation limiting part (128) and the second rotation limiting part (138) may include a rotation projection that can move within the rotation receiving groove, at least a portion of which is inserted into the rotation receiving groove, so that the first rotation body (120a) rotates relative to the second rotation body (130a). In the drawing, as an example, the first rotation limiting part (128) may include the rotation receiving groove, and the second rotation limiting part (138) may include a rotation projection that can move within the rotation receiving groove.

[0045] FIG. 5 is a side view illustrating the state in which the backrest is rotated in the backrest chair of FIG. 1, and FIG. 6 is a conceptual diagram illustrating the change of the tension spring in the backrest chair of FIG. 5.

[0046] Referring to FIGS. 5 and 6, the backrest chair has the backrest (30) in an initial rotational position, and when a user sits on the chair (10) and pushes the backrest (30) backward with their back, the backrest (30) can rotate to a maximum rotational position. Afterward, when the user removes the force pushing the backrest (30) backward, the backrest (30) can return to the initial rotational position. At this time, the user can feel a reference tension strength in the backrest (30).

[0047] FIG. 7 is a partially cutaway perspective view showing the lowest tension strength of the chair backrest rotation device when the backrest of the chair backrest of FIG. 5 is in the initial rotational position, FIG. 8 is a partially cutaway perspective view showing the maximum tension strength of the chair backrest rotation device when the backrest of the chair backrest of FIG. 5 is in the initial rotational position, and FIG. 9 is a conceptual diagram showing only the tension spring according to FIG. 7 and FIG. 8 in the chair backrest rotation device of FIG. 5.

[0048] Referring to FIGS. 7 through 9, the tension spring (110) may have a minimum tension strength in the state before the tension adjustment screw is inserted into the tension adjustment groove (142) and tightened inward. When a user rotates the tension adjustment screw in the one direction, the tension adjustment screw is tightened inward within the tension adjustment groove (142), and the position of the second spring leg (116) can be changed by slowly pushing it. Accordingly, the tension strength of the tension spring (110) may gradually increase from the minimum tension strength. Subsequently, when the user tightens the tension adjustment screw to the maximum, the tension strength of the tension spring (110) may increase to the maximum tension strength. When the user rotates the tension adjustment screw in the opposite direction of the above one direction, the tension strength of the tension spring (110) can be gradually reduced from the maximum tension strength.

[0049] FIG. 10 is an exploded perspective view to explain that the chair backrest rotation device of FIG. 1 has a different connection relationship than FIG. 2.

[0050] Referring to FIG. 10, the first rotating body (120a) may be connected to the left frame support (22) of the chair frame (20) differently from FIG. 2. Here, the first rotating body (120a) may be connected to be integrated with the left frame support (22), or may be connected by being combined with the left frame support (22).

[0051] On the other hand, the second rotating body (130a) may be connected to the left backrest support (34) of the backrest (30) differently from FIG. 2. Here, the second rotating body (130a) may be connected to be integrated with the left backrest support (34), or it may be connected by being combined with the left backrest support (34).

[0052] As such, according to the present embodiment, the chair backrest rotation device (100) is equipped with a tension adjustment unit (140) capable of adjusting the tension strength of the tension spring (110) by changing the position of the spring leg of the tension spring (110), so that a person using the backrest chair can adjust the tension strength of the tension spring (110) to a tension strength of their choice by operating the tension adjustment unit (140).
