Chair with positioning member
A chair in one aspect of the present invention comprises a leg body and a seat body. The leg body comprises a support frame that supports the seat body. The seat body comprises a frame body and a sheet-like member stretched across the frame body. The frame body has a positioning member provided on a back surface thereof that positions the seat body to be in a seatable state. An amount of protrusion of the positioning member is defined so that the positioning member contacts the frame body while a lowest part of the sheet-like member at the time the sheet-like member is deformed when a user sits down on the seat body is located above a top of the support frame.
1. A chair comprising:
a pair of left and right leg portions; and
a support frame that connects the pair of left and right leg portions,
wherein the support frame comprises:
a main body extending in a left-right direction and having a cross-section definable along a plane perpendicular to a normal direction that is the left-right direction, the cross-section being longer in a first direction than in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction; and
backrest supporting pieces that respectively extend from left and right regions of the main body so as to support a backrest;
wherein the pair of left and right leg portions comprises:
front legs extending forwardly and downwardly from the main body; and
rear legs extending rearwardly and downwardly from the main body; and
wherein, relative to the rear legs, the front legs are medially inset to respectively extend from the main body at positions located closer to a center portion of the main body.
2. The chair according to claim 1 , further comprising a seat body secured in a manner so as to be rotatable about an axis extending in the left-right direction,
wherein the seat body comprises at least one positioning member provided on a back surface and protruding therefrom so as to contact the support frame and thereby to position the seat body to be in a seatable state.
3. The chair according to claim 1 , wherein the first direction is substantially a front-rear direction.
4. The chair according to claim 1 ,
wherein the front legs extend from a front end of the main body, and
wherein the rear legs extend from a rear end of the main body.
5. The chair according to claim 1 ,
wherein left and right end surfaces of the main body, left and right outer surfaces of the backrest supporting pieces, and left and right outer surfaces of portions of the rear legs connected to the main body are respectively flush with one another on corresponding planes perpendicular to the normal direction.
6. A chair comprising:
a pair of left and right leg portions; and
a support frame that connects the pair of left and right leg portions,
wherein the support frame comprises:
a main body extending in a left-right direction and having a cross-section definable along a plane perpendicular to a normal direction that is the left-right direction, the cross-section being longer in a first direction than in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction; and
backrest supporting pieces that respectively extend from left and right regions of the main body so as to support a backrest;
wherein the pair of left and right leg portions comprises:
front legs extending forwardly and downwardly from the main body; and
rear legs extending rearwardly and downwardly from the main body; and
wherein the main body and the backrest supporting pieces comprise a unitary, one-piece assembly.
7. The chair according to claim 6 , wherein the unitary, one-piece assembly further comprises the front legs and the rear legs.
8. A chair comprising:
a pair of left and right leg portions; and
a support frame that connects the pair of left and right leg portions,
wherein the support frame comprises:
a main body extending in a left-right direction and having a cross-section definable along a plane perpendicular to a normal direction that is the left-right direction, the cross-section being longer in a first direction than in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction; and
backrest supporting pieces that respectively extend from left and right regions of the main body so as to support a backrest;
wherein the pair of left and right leg portions comprises:
front legs extending forwardly and downwardly from the main body; and
rear legs extending rearwardly and downwardly from the main body; and
wherein left and right end surfaces of the main body, left and right outer surfaces of the backrest supporting pieces, and left and right outer surfaces of portions of the rear legs connected to the main body are respectively flush with one another on corresponding planes perpendicular to the normal direction.
9. A chair comprising:
a pair of left and right leg portions; and
a support frame that connects the pair of left and right leg portions,
wherein the support frame comprises:
a main body extending in a left-right direction and having a cross-section definable along a plane perpendicular to a normal direction that is the left-right direction, the cross-section being longer in a first direction than in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction; and
backrest supporting pieces that respectively extend from left and right regions of the main body so as to support a backrest;
wherein the pair of left and right leg portions comprises:
front legs extending forwardly and downwardly from the main body; and
rear legs extending rearwardly and downwardly from the main body; and
wherein the first direction is substantially a front-rear direction, the front legs extend from a front end of the main body, the rear legs extend from a rear end of the main body, and the main body comprises a flat upper surface.
