  • Patent number: 11096492
    Abstract: An oscillation system (1) for chairs includes a backrest support (3) oscillating about a rotation axis (4), a first support element (6) of the seat coupled to the frame (2) to assume, in the at rest position of the backrest support (3), a plurality of relative vertical positions with respect to the frame (2) depending on, and by effect of, a weight force applied to the first support element (6). A first elastic element (21) opposes an elastic reaction to the backrest support oscillation with respect to an at rest position of the backrest support (3). A lever (31) connects to the first support element (6) to be rotated by the first support element (6) during variation of the relative position, and connects to the first anchoring end (22) to displace the first anchoring end (22). A fulcrum axis (60) does not coincide with the rotation axis (4).

  • Patent number: 10357108
    Abstract: A seat tilting mechanism comprising a main body, a seat support, a backrest support and an articulation mechanism comprising a lever, a first portion of which defines along with a first arm, the seat support and the main body a first quadrilateral hinge, and a second portion of which defines alone with a second arm, the backrest support and the main body a second quadrilateral hinge. Interior corner angles and lengths of each side of the first and second quadrilateral hinges are such that a predetermined angular displacement ratio of the backrest support in relation to the seat support is provided. An extension resistance device is mounted between the main body and the first portion to provide resistance to rotation of the lever. A first end of the extension resistance device is rotationally mounted to the lever at a first mounting point, which is located between the midpoint and upper point, and is angularly displaced from a line extending between the midpoint and the upper point.
