Abstract: The present invention relates to an arrangement in a chair, which for the object of giving the chair (1) a floating or heaving property is specific in that the chair (1) comprises one or more resilient elements (5a-5d) rendering the chair (1) freedom of movement in both vertical and side-wise directions as well as in forward and rearward directions.

Abstract: Arrangement in a chair (1), for example a combi-chair allowing for a plurality of sitting positions, in which in order to make it easier for the user (20) when sitting down on the chair, and presenting a larger variety of sitting positions for the user (20), there is suggested an arrangement (10) which comprises one or more support devices (13) which are adapted to the user (20) of the chair (1), and which by the user (20), for example by a simple movement of the foot, may be brought into or away from arbitrary positions in relation to the chair seat (2), such that the user (20) on the one hand with the different support devices in their positions of use is given the choice between a plurality of stable support positions, for example a kneeling-like sitting position having the shins resting on a calf support, a conventional sitting position with the feet resting on on the floor, a backwardly slanting position with the feet resting on supporting devices, or an advanced rearwardly tilted position with the back

Abstract: A swivel stool or chair adapted to support a person so that the person's weight is distributed between the posterior and the shins in a kneeling-like position, the stool combines a base member from which there extends upwardly a substantially vertical supporting column adjustable in vertical supporting column adjustable in vertical direction, a substantially flat preferably slanting seat support being arranged at a first level at the top area of said supporting column for supporting the posterior of a stool user and a substantially flat shin support is spaced from and disposed at a second level below and forward of said seat support and preferably slanting in the opposite direction thereof.

Abstract: This invention relates to an improvement in the manufacture of pipe-shaped bodies of wood composed of a plurality of longitudinally straight but transversely curved wood-staves, the longitudinal edges thereof being provided with a tongue and groove configuration and being glued together, while being mounted in a sidewise engagement in a craddlelike mounting means. The pipe-shaped bodies are later processed by milling, grinding or polishing internally and externally, whereafter the pre-made cylindrical, hollow bodies are cut or cut out to form one or more furnitures, for example chairs, cabinets or the like. Preferred embodiments of the pipe-shaped body are cut from a pipe-shaped blank so as to form one or more pairs of similar pieces of furniture, the cutting line between said pair or pairs of furniture following a symmetrical line to give optimum utilization of the pipe-shaped material. The invention also relates to the use of such pipe-shaped bodies as combined sculptures and furnitures.

Abstract: A tilting mechanism (1), preferably for a chair seat or similar article, comprises a rigid element (2) which, via a mounting means (3), can be attached to a chair base (4), a supporting means (6) adapted to the chair seat and pivotably connected in relation to said mounting means (3), resilient means (8a, 8b) so arranged between the supporting means (6) and the rigid plate (2) that the supporting means (6) can be tilted in relation to said rigid plate (2) under the influence of the resilient means (8a, 8b), as well as locking means (20, 21, 24) for adjusting the seat supporting means (6) to various tilting positions. To achieve a compact tilting mechanism offering separate or individual tightening of the tilting stiffness in the forward direction and the rearward direction without changing the seat angle in relation to the neutral it is, suggested that at least one of the resilient means (8a, 8b) be displaced in relation to the tilting shaft (5) of the supporting means (6).

Abstract: A device for use in a kneeling-like sitting position having a per se known, optionally tiltable and optionally height-adjustable chair seat on a chair supporting a person's posterior, and having at least one cushion supporting the person's knee/calf area, said cushion or cushions being supported by a support frame, which preferably is detachably mounted on the frame of the chair or parts of said frame. Optionally, a five-branch crossed base may form part of the chair frame, said support frame being made to engage with the outer section of two of the branches of the crossed base.

Abstract: A chair having supporting members for the seat and the shins, respectively, of a chair occupant, said supporting member being mechanically interconnected. A frame part (3; 25) interconnects the two supporting members (1, 2) and a supporting column (10) extends downward from said frame part (3; 25), and at its lower end is provided with a base (13; 14-18; 19-22) e.g. a base having legs, provided with roller members (23). A table assembly (32-41) may be attached to the chair through a transverse member (4) provided at the front and lowermost end of the frame part (3). The chair is intended for a kneeling-like sitting posture of a chair occupant.

Abstract: A supporting device for a person, said device having a posterior supporting face (2) and thigh supporting members (5,6) designed to engage a front portion of the person's respective thighs. A leg (3) depends from the posterior supporting face (2) and is suitably, through a transition member (12), connected to a leg base (13) being provided with casters (14). An anti-tilting device (15) may be provided at the rear end of the base (13). Foot engaging projection (16) may be present to contact a floor upon downward pressure thereon. The supporting device provides a stable 3-points support for a person assuming a standing-like sitting position.
