Patent number: 11166556Abstract: A chair has a seat with a seat shell. A frame for supporting the seat has, on its side facing the seat, a mounting strut running parallel to the plane of the seat shell. An underside of the seat shell if formed with a receiving profile for the mounting strut. The receiving profile has a fastening section extending from a circumferential edge of the seat shell parallel to a plane of the seat shell into the interior of the seat shell and having an access opening at the circumferential edge of the seat shell. A clamping strip is provided for clamping the mounting strut in the fastening section. The clamping strip is slid from the access opening in a direction parallel to a longitudinal direction of the fastening section and is fixed in its end position in the fastening section perpendicular to the plane of the seat shell.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 2019Date of Patent: November 9, 2021Assignee: VS Vereinigte Spezialmoebelfabriken GmbH & Co.

Patent number: 9055817Abstract: An article of furniture, such as a chair, including a free-swinging seat and a free-swinging backrest. The chair includes a seat and backrest coupled to a chair frame, where the chair frame includes first and second laterally spaced apart components. The first and second components each have a floor strut and a pair of legs that may be arranged in a substantially triangular configuration for supporting the seat. The chair also includes a coupling device, which may include a spring element, coupled to the legs and configured to allow forward movement of the seat and backward movement of the backrest, where movement of the seat and backrest may occur independently of one another. In some embodiments, the maximum movement of the seat and backrest may be limited by restricting movement of the coupling device.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2011Date of Patent: June 16, 2015Assignee: VS Vereinigte Spezialmobelfabriken GmbH & Co. KGInventors: Reinhard Weber, Walter Richter, Markus Schuppler

Patent number: 8764116Abstract: An item of seating furniture contains a seat providing a seat surface, a generally circular foot panel positioning the item of seating furniture on a floor, and a central part, which connects the seat to the foot panel and of which a vertical center axis runs centrally through the foot panel. The foot panel is of at least partially convex configuration and that side of the foot panel which is directed toward the floor is configured, at least in part, as a non-slip surface. This creates an ergonomic item of seating furniture which stands in a stable state.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 2010Date of Patent: July 1, 2014Assignee: VS Vereinigte Spezialmoebelfabriken GmbH & Co. KGInventors: Reinhard Weber, Thomas Braun, Walter Richter, John Harding

Patent number: 4578626Abstract: An electric control arrangement for controlling the speed of a roll driving motor for rolling mills for manufacturing hollow blocks is described. A power controller determines from the speed, field strength and armature current of the driving motor, the actual value of the motor power, compares the latter with a reference value, and generates a controlled variable which is fed to a current controller of the control arrangement to control the motor so that the motor delivers constant power.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 1985Date of Patent: March 25, 1986Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventor: Walter Richter
