Chair with tilting backrest
A chair with a tilting backrest including two flexible supporting sectional elements set at a distance from one another in a transverse direction, wherein each of said supporting sectional elements is provided with a plurality of through notches that form respective points of localized bending that enable bending backwards of the supporting sectional element, and wherein each of said notches has a first contact surface and a second contact surface that, in the position of maximum inclination backwards of the backrest, come to bear upon one another to stop bending backwards of the sectional element, wherein the projections of said first and second contact surfaces in a vertical plane parallel to the longitudinal axis of the chair are at least partially superimposed on one another in such a way as to prevent visual communication through said notches in a direction orthogonal to said vertical plane.
1. A chair with a tilting backrest including two flexible supporting sectional elements set at a distance from one another in a transverse direction, wherein each of said supporting sectional elements is provided with a plurality of through notches that form respective points of localized bending that enable a bending backwards of the supporting sectional element, wherein each of said notches has an upper contact surface and a lower contact surface that, in the position of maximum inclination backwards of the backrest, come to bear upon one another to stop bending backwards of the sectional element, wherein an upper-most portion of the lower contact surface has an elevation above a lower-most portion of the upper contact surface so as to prevent visual communication therethrough.
2. The chair according to claim 1 , wherein said notches are formed in an integral ribbing that extends in a vertical plane.
3. The chair according to claim 1 , wherein said upper and lower contact surfaces in a plane orthogonal to said vertical plane are substantially V-shaped.
4. The chair according to claim 1 , wherein said upper and lower contact surfaces in a plane orthogonal to said vertical plane are substantially Ω-shaped.
5. The chair according to claim 1 , wherein said upper and lower contact surfaces in a plane orthogonal to said vertical plane are shaped like inclined bars.
