Ukuqonda ubude obufanelekileyo beZitulo zeArm kubantu abadala

Ukufumana ubude obufanelekileyo bezihlalo ze-armchairs kubantu abadala kwindawo yokunyamekela abantu abadala kufuna ukuvavanya ngokucophelela i-anthropometrics yabantu. Ukuphakama kufuneka kube ngokwaneleyo ukuvumela lula ukuhlala kunye nokuma. Abaphandi baye benza izifundo ezininzi kulo mbandela. Ngaphambi kokuba singene kubude obulungele abantu abadala, kufuneka sazi ukuba abaphandi bacinga ntoni ngezinye izinto.

Izinto ekufuneka ziqwalaselwe xa ukhetha uBude beSitulo seArmchair

∎  Ukuphakama kwabahlali abahlukeneyo

Akukho situlo esinobukhulu obunye esinokusebenza kubo bonke abahlali. Ukuphakama okungafaniyo komhlali ngamnye kwenza kube nzima ukukhetha ubude obunye kuzo zonke izitulo zengalo. Nangona kunjalo, uphando olufanelekileyo lwenziwa ngu Blackler et al., 2018 . Iphetha ngokuba nezitulo ezinobude obahlukeneyo zikhokelela kwindawo yokuhlala engcono.

  ∎   Iimeko ezahlukeneyo zempilo

Iimeko zempilo zabahlali zinokwahluka. Abanye banokuba nemiba edibeneyo okanye iintlungu zangasemva, okwenza izihlalo eziphezulu ze-armchairs zilungele. Ngokwahlukileyo koko, abahlali abadumba emilenzeni kunye nokunciphisa ukujikeleza kwegazi emzimbeni banokuzuza kwizitulo ezisezantsi. Ke, izitulo ezikhethiweyo kufuneka zibenayo enye yazo.

∎   Ukomelela kwemisipha kunye nokuguquguquka

Wonke umhlali wahlukile ngokusekwe kwindlela ababephila ngayo xa babebancinci. Noko ke, abanye banesiphiwo semizila yemfuza ebenza babe namandla angaphezu kwawomntu. Kuzo zombini ezi meko, ukwanelisa iimfuno zemizimba yomibini kubalulekile ekuphuculeni ulwaneliseko lwabo kumaziko okunyamekela abantu abakhulileyo.

Umphakamo oLungileyo we-Armchair kubantu abadala

Ngoku siyazi iimfuno zeqela ngalinye lobudala, iintlobo zabo ezahlukeneyo zemizimba, kunye neemeko zempilo. Sinokuthenga ezona zihlalo ziphakamileyo zezihlalo zabantu abadala. Nantsi isethi yedatha eqokelelwe kwiziko lokukhathalela abantu abadala:

Ukuqwalasela idatha eqokelelwe kumaziko amaninzi kunye nokuhlalutya i-anthropometrics, sinokutsho ngokukhuselekileyo ukuba uluhlu olufanelekileyo lwezihlalo ze-armchair kufuneka lube phakathi. 405 kunye ne-482mm  emva koxinzelelo. Nangona kunjalo, ngoxinzelelo, ukuphakama kufuneka kunciphe nge-25mm. Izihlalo ezininzi kufuneka zifumaneke kwindawo yokuhlala encediswayo eyohluka phakathi kwale miphakamo.

Uluhlu oluLungileyo lweSitulo esiPhezulu seArmchair kubantu abadala: 405 kunye ne-480 mm

Ukugqitywa

Sikholelwa ukuba akukho ukuphakama okukodwa kuhambelana nezihlalo eziphezulu ze-armchairs kubahlali abadala. Kufuneka kubekho iindidi kunye nezitulo ezikhethekileyo ezisekelwe kwiimfuno zabahlali. Imfuneko yokuphakama inokuxhomekeka kwizinto ezifana nendawo yesitulo kunye nokusetyenziswa kwayo. Izitulo ezisetyenziswa rhoqo ezifana nezitulo zokutyela zinokuba nobude obusezantsi bezitulo, ngelixa i-cinema okanye izitulo zegumbi lokulala zinokuba nezihlalo eziphezulu.

Ukuphakama kwesihlalo esicetyiswayo phakathi kwe-380 kunye ne-457mm kuya kunika induduzo kwinani eliphezulu labahlali ngokusekelwe kwi-95 yepesenti yokuqokelela idatha. Abangaphandle baya kuhlala befuna ingqalelo ekhethekileyo. Siyathemba ukuba ufumene ixabiso kwinqaku lethu. Ndwendwela i Yumeya iwebhusayithi yefenitshala yengqokelela yokugqibela ye isihlalo esiphezulu se-armchair kubantu abadala  ezibonelela ngentuthuzelo ngomlinganiselo obalaseleyo wexabiso ukuya ekusebenzeni.
