Ababhali bafinyelela esiphethweni esiphusile ngezingxoxo eziningi nabahlali kanye nobukhulu bezihlalo. Lapha, sizobalula lezo zici ngendlela eqondakala kalula:

➢   Ukuphakama Kwesihlalo: Ukunciphisa Umzamo phakathi Kokuhlala Nokuma

Ukunquma ubude obuphelele kubantu asebekhulile kubalulekile njengoba kuthinta ngokuqondile umzamo wokuhlala ukuze ume (STS). Ukuphakama kwesihlalo ngokuvamile ibanga phakathi kwephezulu komcamelo kanye naphansi. Kodwa-ke, umcamelo ungacindezela ngaphansi komthwalo womuntu, ngaleyo ndlela unciphise ukuphakama kwesihlalo.

Umzamo odingekayo ukuze uqale ukunyakaza nokufaka umzamo ovela emisipha ukuze uphume esihlalweni ngokuyinhloko kuncike ekuphakameni kwesihlalo. Ukwehlisa ukuphakama kungaholela emzamweni owengeziwe ovela endaweni ye-pelvis, futhi ukuyenza ibe phezulu kakhulu kunganciphisa ukuzinza futhi kungase kuholele ku-venous thrombosis (VT). Ukuthola ibhalansi ephelele kubalulekile. Ngokuvumelana ne UChristenson (1990) , indawo ehlinzekela iqembu elikhulu labadala abanezilinganiso ezihlukahlukene ze-anthropometric kufanele ibe nezihlalo ezisuka ku-380 kuya ku-457 mm.

➢   Ukujula Kwesihlalo Nobubanzi: Usayizi Ofanelekile Wokuphumula Amathanga Ngokufanelekile

Ukujula kwesihlalo yibanga ukusuka ngaphambili kwesihlalo kuya ku-backrest. Lobu bukhulu bubalulekile njengoba bunquma ukuthi ithanga lizophumula ngokwanele yini. Uma ukuphakama kwesihlalo kuphezulu, kuzovimbela ukugeleza kwegazi emilenzeni. Uma ububanzi bukhulu, buzodala umphumela ofanayo, njengoba umsebenzisi kuzodingeka agxumele esihlalweni ukuze abeke umgogodla wakhe ngqo ku-backrest.

Ukujula kwesihlalo okuhle okusebenzela abasebenzisi abaningi kungu-440mm. Ngobubanzi, kucatshangelwa izilinganiso ze-anthropometric zezinqulu zomuntu, isihlalo sidinga ukuba nesikhala esizungeze isibhakela esigoqiwe nhlangothi zombili. Ngokucabangela isethi enkulu yedatha, i-percentile engu-95 iphumela ku-409mm.

➢   Ukuphumula Kwengalo: Yehlisa Ukucindezeleka Kwehlombe

NgokukaHolden noFernie (1989), ama-Armrests kufanele abe ngu-730 mm ukusuka phansi ngaphambili futhi abe ngu-250 mm ukusuka esihlalweni esingemuva, ububanzi obuyi-120 mm, kanye no-120 mm ukusuka emngceleni ongaphambili wesihlalo. Lezi zilinganiso ziqinisekisa ukuthi umzamo odingekayo we-STS mncane futhi ubeka ukucindezeleka okuncane emizimbeni esengozini yobuhlungu bemisipha.

Ukuphakama kwe-armrest okuphansi okungu-250 mm eduze nomhlane ophakeme wesihlalo uma kuqhathaniswa nangaphambili kuvumela abantu abadala ukuthi bahlale ngokukhululeka ngaphandle kokugcizelela amahlombe abo.

➢   I-Engeli Yesihlalo

I-slope kusukela ngaphambili kwesihlalo kuya ngemuva ibizwa ngokuthi i-engeli yesihlalo. Ezimweni eziningi, ukuba ne-engeli esihlalweni Sabantu Abadala akunconywa. Kungenza ukuphuma esihlalweni kube nzima futhi kuthinte ukuzimela kwabo.

➢   Ubude Basemuva Nokuhlehla

Ubude bangemuva bubalulekile esikhungweni sokuhlala esisizwayo. Ubude obujwayelekile besihlalo esingemuva ngu-1040mm, bufinyelela ku-1447mm. Izihlalo zamagumbi okuphumula zivame ukuba nomhlane ophakeme njengoba zikhanga ngobuhle futhi ziwubukhazikhazi. Kodwa-ke, uma kucatshangelwa izici zezokwelapha, ukuphakama kwe-1040mm emuva kulungele ukusekelwa okufanele komgogodla.

Ngokufanayo, ingcindezi kuma-intervertebral discs iyanda njengoba i-back recline angles. Kungabangela izinkinga ezinzima zeqolo kubantu asebekhulile. Ngakho-ke, ukuhlehlela emuva kwamadigri ayi-13 kuye kwayi-15 kungcono kakhulu ekunethezekeni nasekuphileni kahle komsebenzisi.

➢   I-Frame Material: Ukuqina Nokuphila Isikhathi Eside

Eceleni kobunjiniyela isihlalo esingemuva esinikeza induduzo nempilo enhle kwasebekhulile, sidinga ukuqina. Ukuqina nokuhlala isikhathi eside ezihlalweni kuza nokukhethwa kwezinto ezisezingeni eliphezulu. Idizayini idinga ukubamba amandla, ithathe indawo encane, ibe lula ukuyiphatha, futhi ibe lula futhi ihlale isikhathi eside.

Onjiniyela basebenzisa izinto ezifana ne-aluminium nokhuni ukuze bafeze lezi zinhloso. Abanye basebenzisa insimbi njengento yohlaka, kodwa lokhu kungandisa isisindo sonke sesihlalo. Ukusebenzisa i-aluminium enokhuni oluphelile ekhaya lomhlalaphansi kulungele ukuqina okukhulu nokuphila isikhathi eside.

➢   Izinto Eziphetha

Yonke indwangu, i-padding, i-webbing, futhi ngezinye izikhathi iziphethu kuhlangana ukwakha impahla ye-upholstery. Isihlalo esivamile esine-back back yabantu asebekhulile kufanele sibe ne-padding eqinile kanye nendwangu egezeka kalula.

Isinyathelo Ngesinyathelo Umhlahlandlela Wokukhetha Usihlalo Osemuva Wabadala

Manje njengoba sesiyazi ukuthi yiziphi izici zesihlalo okufanele sizibheke. Singakwazi ukungena ezinyathelweni okulula ukuzilandela zanoma yimuphi umthengi ofuna isihlalo esine-back-back esiphelele Sabantu Abadala. Ake siqale!
