Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2374375A1] A bedchair (10) having a seat part (12) and a backrest part (14) which is pivotally attached to the intended rear of the seat part (12). The backrest part (14) can be secured in any selected one of a plurality of angular positions relative to the seat part (12) by means of respective interengaging portions (50,52) attached to the seat part (12) and the backrest part (14) respectively. At least one clamp (58,64,76) is arranged in relation to the interengaging portions (50,52) to be adjusted between a release position in which the interengaging portions (50,52) can be moved relative to one another to enable the relative positioning between the backrest part (14) and the seat part (12) to be altered, and a locked position in which the interengaging portions (50,52) are locked in interengagement with one another, so as to hold the backrest part (14) in a selected angular position relative to the seat part (12). The interengaging portions (50,52) are so attached to the seat part (12) and the backrest part (14) respectively as to be able to rotate relative thereto about respective attachment axes of rotation. These axes are in alignment when the backrest part (14) is in an intended horizontal position substantially co-planar with the seat part (12), whereby the interengaging portions (50,52) together can be rotated about their aligned axes from a position above the seat (12) and backrest parts (14) to a position below them.
