Abstract

An embodiment seating device includes a frame unit including a chair region capable of supporting a user and a leg region extending downward from the chair region, a backrest unit disposed at a rear side of the frame unit, and a handle unit coupled to a first side of the frame unit, the handle unit including a fixing handle body region having a first side coupled to the frame unit and rotatable relative to the frame unit and a lifting handle body region having a first side coupled to the fixing handle body region and rectilinearly movable relative to the fixing handle body region.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A seating device comprising:
a frame unit comprising a chair region capable of supporting a user and a leg region extending downward from the chair region;
a backrest unit disposed at a rear side of the frame unit; and
a handle unit coupled to a first side of the frame unit, the handle unit comprising:
a fixing handle body region having a first side coupled to the frame unit and rotatable relative to the frame unit; and
a lifting handle body region having a first side coupled to the fixing handle body region and rectilinearly movable relative to the fixing handle body region,
a motor comprising a rotary shaft;
a screw member having a screw thread region formed on an outer portion thereof, the screw member being fixedly coupled to the fixing handle body region; and
a nut member coupled to the screw thread region of the screw member and configured to rotate by receiving power from the motor, the nut member being rotatably coupled to the lifting handle body region.

2. The seating device of claim 1 ,
wherein the lifting handle body region is configured to perform a translational motion relative to the fixing handle body region using a translational motion of the nut member.

3. The seating device of claim 2 , further comprising a connection rotary shaft having a first side configured to penetrate the fixing handle body region and a second side configured to penetrate the leg region;
wherein the handle unit further comprises a torsion spring member comprising a winding region, a first spring extension region extending from a first side of the winding region, and a second spring extension region extending from a second side of the winding region; and
wherein the connection rotary shaft is inserted into and coupled to the winding region.

4. The seating device of claim 3 , further comprising a spring accommodation member protruding from the connection rotary shaft in a direction intersecting a direction in which the connection rotary shaft extends, wherein the first spring extension region of the torsion spring member is seated in an internal space of the spring accommodation member.

5. The seating device of claim 3 , wherein:
the screw member comprises a spring interference region configured to face the torsion spring member; and
the handle unit further comprises an interference region fixing member having a first side fixedly coupled to the spring interference region and a second side fixedly coupled to the fixing handle body region.

6. The seating device of claim 5 , wherein the spring interference region comprises an interference body portion facing the torsion spring member and configured to come into close contact with the second spring extension region when the fixing handle body region rotates relative to the chair region by an angle exceeding a predetermined angle.

7. The seating device of claim 6 , wherein the spring interference region further comprises an interference guide portion protruding from the interference body portion and surrounding an outer side of the second spring extension region.

8. The seating device of claim 3 , further comprising a peripheral recessed member disposed outside the connection rotary shaft and having a plurality of recessed sections disposed in a circumferential direction of the connection rotary shaft, each of the recessed sections having a shape recessed toward the connection rotary shaft, wherein the handle unit further comprises a coupling module comprising a pin member rotatable so as to be inserted into the recessed sections or spaced apart from the recessed sections.

9. The seating device of claim 8 , wherein:
the coupling module further comprises a rotation locking button member coupled to the fixing handle body region, movable relative to the fixing handle body region, and fixed to the pin member; and
the pin member is inserted into the recessed sections or spaced apart from the recessed sections by a movement of the rotation locking button member relative to the fixing handle body region.

10. A seating device comprising:
a frame unit comprising a chair region capable of supporting a user and a leg region extending downward from the chair region;
a backrest unit disposed at a rear side of the frame unit; and
a handle unit coupled to a first side of the frame unit, the handle unit comprising:
a fixing handle body region having a first side coupled to the frame unit and rotatable relative to the frame unit; and
a lifting handle body region having a first side coupled to the fixing handle body region and rectilinearly movable relative to the fixing handle body region, wherein the handle unit further comprises a clutch fixing module detachably provided on the fixing handle body region, the clutch fixing module comprising:

a fixing module body region having a through-hole formed therein;
a fixing pin region protruding from the fixing module body region toward the fixing handle body region; and
a first interference region having a first side connected to the fixing pin region and having a shape extending from a second side in a direction away from the fixing pin region; and
wherein the fixing handle body region comprises:
a pin insertion hole formed in a surface of the fixing handle body region and configured such that the fixing pin region is inserted into the pin insertion hole; and
a second interference region having a shape extending in a direction away from the pin insertion hole and protruding toward the clutch fixing module.

11. The seating device of claim 10 , wherein the clutch fixing module further comprises a first magnet disposed adjacent to the fixing pin region, and the fixing handle body region further comprises a second magnet configured to face the first magnet when the fixing pin region is inserted into the pin insertion hole.

12. The seating device of claim 10 , wherein:
the fixing handle body region further comprises a guide region spaced apart from the second interference region in a circumferential direction of the pin insertion hole and protruding toward the clutch fixing module; and
the guide region has a shape having a height at which the guide region protrudes outward, the height varying depending on positions in the circumferential direction of the pin insertion hole.

13. The seating device of claim 12 , wherein the guide region has a shape such that the height at which the guide region protrudes outward decreases toward two opposite ends based on the circumferential direction of the pin insertion hole.

14. The seating device of claim 10 , wherein the clutch fixing module further comprises:
a bolt member protruding from the fixing module body region toward the fixing handle body region; and
a bolt rotating member connected to the bolt member and configured to rotate the bolt member; and
wherein the fixing handle body region further comprises a fixing handle nut member provided on a surface of the fixing handle body region and coupled to the bolt member by a bolt-nut engagement.

15. A seating device comprising:
a frame unit comprising a chair region capable of supporting a user and a leg region extending downward from the chair region;
a backrest unit disposed at a rear side of the frame unit, the backrest unit being rotatable relative to the frame unit and comprising:
a first concave-convex member having a first concave-convex region;
a second concave-convex member having a second concave-convex region having a shape corresponding to the first concave-convex region;
a first handle member fixedly coupled to the second concave-convex member;
a rod member configured to penetrate the s
