  • Patent number: 7147288
    Abstract: The backrest of a chair comprises a frame, a backrest support and a neck support. A membrane is clipped into the frame, and the backrest support is articulated on a tilting mechanism. The frame comprises two side parts and two cross-pieces, the lower cross-piece lying at the height of the user's lumbar vertebra. The frame and the backrest support are interconnected in one piece. The component created as a result is advantageously a plastic injection molding produced by the gas injection technique (GIT) and the plastic is a glass-fiber-reinforced polyarylamide. This overall structure of the backrest provides a high level of sitting comfort by elastic support of the back in all major regions and directions of movement, but at the same time also considerably reduces production, transport and assembly complexity and has an aesthetically impressive, distinctive form.

  • Patent number: 6712009
    Abstract: A folding table including a folding steel wire frame and a table top. The wire frame includes four vertical struts and four cross-struts, and the table top has a front edge profile connected thereto. The front edge profile pivotably connects to the upper ends of the vertical struts. The vertical struts each connect on their lower ends to rollers in a horizontally non-pivoting manner. The rollers are also connected to the lower ends of the cross-struts in a horizontally pivoting manner. A first anchor plate is arranged on the bottom of the table top for fixably connecting upper ends of two of the cross struts, and a second anchor plate is arranged on the bottom of the table of fixably connecting upper ends of the other two of the four cross struts.

  • Patent number: 6575530
    Abstract: A device for lumbar support for an office chair having a seatback including a seatback frame and a membrane stretched over the seatback frame. The device can be arranged behind the membrane and can be housed in the seatback frame to provide vertical and horizontal adjustment independent of the membrane. Preferably, the device includes a central part having two comparably rigid carrier elements connected to each other via an elastic element arranged therebetween, the rigid carrier elements each including a guide track that can be arranged in the seatback frame to provide the vertical adjustment. A front part includes a cushion attached to an upholstery plate, the upholstery plate facing the membrane. A rear part includes a plastic plate. The cushion and the plastic plate are connected via a clip connection, and the clip connection is guided in slots of the carrier elements.
