Abstract (en)
[origin: WO9723187A1] A reclining seat device, in particular for a sick or disabled user, including a frame (2) and a reclining seat (3). The seat is linked to the frame via a hinge (4) and positioning means for assisting the user or another person in reclining the seat. The axis of the hinge (4) is preferably adjacent to a vertical line passing through the centre of gravity (G1) of the user in a position corresponding to the balanced position of the empty seat. Resilient means exerting a gradual righting torque for returning the seat to the balanced position include resilient bearings (24) in the hinge, and preferably a constant-force gas cylinder (6), comprising a controlled locking device. A power cylinder (51) controlled by the user (48) may be provided instead of the gas cylinder. The device is useful as a stationary or wheeled seat for a sick or disabled person.
