Abstract
The invention concerns a seat ( ) with at least one seat base part ( ) and at least one backrest part ( ) which seat is supported on a seat carrier ( ) and is movable in relation to said carrier by positioning drive ( ). Considering one of possibly multiple seats ( ) it is of advantage, that the positioning drive ( ), is in controlling connection with at least one body position sensor ( ) to enable the advancing or retracting of a seat base part ( ) and/or a backrest part ( ) in accord with the bodily position assumed by a person on said seat ( ), or, for the retraction of the seat base part ( ) and or backrest part ( ) in accord with a bodily movement of a person on the seat ( ). In this arrangement, the seat base part ( ) and/or the backrest part ( ), are movably guided in an enforced guidance and pivotally connected to one another by a pivot connection ( ), and in addition the seat base part ( ) and the backrest part ( ) are guided, at a prescribed distance from the pivot connection ( ), and can rotate about their guide axes or guide pins ( ). This seat ( ) is especially comfortable and simple to manipulate and offers an ergonomically favorable arrangement in any adjustment position for the user, because of the enforced guidance system, and the linkage ( ) in connection with seat base part and backrest part.
