Abstract

The mobile structure for working with computer equipment or electronic devices, couplable to slanting chairs or armchairs that the invention proposes is therefore configured as a novelty within its field of application, because, when it is implemented, the said objectives are satisfactorily achieved, the characterizing details making it possible are suitably appearing in the final claims attached to this specification.

Concretely, what the invention proposes, as it has been stated before, is a structure which aim is to allow the incorporation of computer equipment or electronic devices so that it is possible to work with them, or use them for leisure purpose, in a slanting chair or armchair and to be able to angularly move it, according to the tilt of the chair, at least in an upright position and a slanted position, being formed for it, by a mobile arm with a moving mechanism that is coupled to any slanting chair or armchair and that is provided with supporting means as a kind of desk to incorporate the computer equipment.

Claims

1. A mobile structure for working or using computer equipment or other electronic devices couplable to slanting chairs or armchairs, characterized in that it comprises a mobile arm (2) that, at its distal end (21), incorporates supporting means (3) to incorporate different elements of a computer or electronic equipment, and which opposite or proximal end (22) is coupled to a slanting chair or armchair (4) incorporates a moving mechanism (5) which operation determines the rotation of the said arm (2) jointly with the said supporting means (3) to change its tilt with respect to the seat of the chair (4) and at least two positions of use, and being able to place it in concordance with the slanted position of the chair (4).

2. The mobile structure for working or using computer equipments or other electronic devices couplable to slanting chairs or armchair, according to the claim 1, characterized in that the moving mechanism (5) of the arm (2) is a pawl mechanism operated by hand by means of a crank (52).

3. The mobile structure for working or using computer equipment or other electronic devices couplable to slanting chairs or armchairs according to claim 1, characterized in that the moving mechanism (5) of the arm (2) comprises, at least a gearwheel (50) which is linked to the proximal end (21) of the arm (2) and with a first rotation shaft (51) to which, in turn, a crank (52) is also jointly linked, and there exists in addition a locking finger (53) that locks the position of the arm (2) when it is interlocked in the gearwheel (50).

4. The mobile structure for working or using computer equipment or other electronic devices couplable to slanting chairs or armchairs, according to claim 3, characterized in that the finger (53) is associated to a spring (54) that is prone to pull it to keep it interlocked in the gearwheel (50) and has a protrusion (55) to be able to release it from its interlocking.

5. The mobile structure for working or using computer equipment or other electronic devices couplable to slanting chairs or armchairs, according to claim 3, characterized in that the finger (53) is associated to a second rotation shaft (56) both shafts (51, 56) being provided with bearings (58) inserted in them so that the bearings are in the structure of the frame (41) of the seat of the chair or armchair (4) to which the structure (1) is coupled.

6. The mobile structure for working or using computer equipment or other electronic devices couplable to slanting chairs or armchairs, according to claim 5, characterized in that both rotation shafts (51, 56) with bearings (58) show final stops (59) to prevent them from coming out of their position.

7. The mobile structure for working or using computer equipment or other electronic devices couplable to slanting chairs or armchairs, according to claim 1, characterized in that the moving mechanism (5) of the arm (2) is a motor-driven paw mechanism

8. The mobile structure for working or using computer equipment or other electronic devices couplable to slanting chairs or armchairs, according to claim 1, characterized in that the supporting means (3) comprise a column (30) with a grip (31) preferably flat for coupling screens, viewfinders or imaging devices, and a main base (32), perpendicular to the said grip for screens (31), having a likewise flat surface for keyboards and other similar input peripherals.

9. The mobile structure for working or using computer equipment or other electronic devices couplable to slanting chairs or armchairs, according to claim 8, characterized in that the column (30) and the main base (32) is joined to parallel respective bars (33) that are provided with end holes (34) in which worms (35) are screwed that are inserted in them crossing the straight length of the distal end (21) of the arm (2), to achieve the anchorage of the arm (2).

10. The mobile structure for working or using computer equipment or other electronic devices couplable to slanting chairs or armchairs, according to claim 8, characterized in that adjacent to the main base (32) there is an additional base (321) as surface for the mouse, such base (321) can be fixed with a variable tilt, by means of a worm (36), arranged on the end of one of the parallel bars (33).
