Abstract (en)
[origin: WO9639067A1] A relaxation device for furniture, particularly for an armchair or relaxing chair, includes body support flats (11, 12, 13; 101; 201) which are each formed of interconnected elongated support members (3) extending parallel to each other and transversally to a longitudinal axis of the device (Z), a frame (2) and means (23, 43) for coupling the above support flats (11, 12, 13; 101, 201) to the frame (2), characterised in that each set of elongated support members (3) is mounted by means of a multiple action suspension system (S1, S2) which is formed of a first stage suspension unit wherein each pair of adjacent elongated support members (3', 3") is externally coupled by means of primary intermediate suspension parts (31), and at least one additional second stage suspension unit wherein each pair of adjacent primary intermediate suspension parts (31', 31") is externally coupled by secondary suspension parts (33; 32', 32") which are directly (23) or indirectly (23, 33, 24) connected to the frame (2), so that the elongated support members (3) are mutually movable in two modes and can move from an unloaded state (A) to a loaded state (B) with the superimposed undulatory motion of said members (3).
