Abstract

A movable chair backrest is substantially composed of an upper board pivotally attached to a front of a backrest frame. A lower end of the upper board is connected to a lower board by a resilient sheet. A bouncing board connects between the lower board and the backrest frame. Therefore, the lower board operationally swings forward, backward, rightward, leftward relative to the upper board to correspond to different sitting and leaning postures of a user.

Claims (11)

1. A movable chair backrest comprising:

a backrest frame having a front face;

an upper board having an upper edge and a bottom edge;

a lower board having an upper edge and a bottom edge;

a resilient sheet connected to the bottom edge of the upper board and the upper edge of the lower board; wherein the upper edge of the upper board is pivotally attached to the backrest frame about a pivot axis parallel to the upper edge of the upper board; and

a bouncing board, connected to the bottom edge of the lower board and connected to the front face of backrest frame at a connection, with the connection spaced from and intermediate the upper and bottom edges of the lower board, with the upper edge of the lower board and the bottom edge of the upper board being parallel to the upper edge of the upper board; wherein the bouncing board pushes the lower board apart from the backrest frame to make a buffering distance between the backrest frame and the backrest, with the bottom edge of the upper board abutable with the front face of the backrest frame intermediate the upper edge of the upper board and the bouncing board.

2. The movable chair backrest as claimed in claim 1 , wherein:

the resilient sheet has multiple stubs; and

the upper board and the lower board respectively have multiple recesses to correspondingly engage the multiple stubs on the resilient sheet.

3. The movable chair backrest as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the backrest frame is a Y-shaped frame having a bottom end adapted to engage a seat to serve as a supporting frame and having at least one buffering block formed on the front face of the backrest frame to correspondingly align with the bottom edge of the upper board.
