Isihlalo sikaPalm esivela ku-Autonomous sibizwa ngokuthi 'isihlalo sehhovisi esingcono kakhulu esisebenza kahle'. Njengomuntu ochithe ingxenye enkulu yeminyaka engamashumi amabili edlule egxile kakhulu ezihlalweni zehhovisi, izingxenye zami ezingezansi zifanelekile ngokukhethekile ukuhlola induduzo yangempela yesihlalo sehhovisi. Nakuba okwamanje ngisebenza ekhaya futhi nginedeski lokuma, ngisachitha okungenani ingxenye yosuku ngihleli futhi i-ergonomics ayinakuba yinto ebaluleke kakhulu. Ngakho-ke isihlalo sikaPalm senze kanjani?
TL;DR isihlalo sikaPalm siyisihlalo esikhululekile nesisebenza kahle kakhulu esiye sabekwa ngemuva kwami (ikakhulukazi umhlane wami) eminyakeni engu-20.
Umsebenzi wami waqala ngesinye sezihlalo ezinezimbobo ezibiza kakhulu nezinobungane emakethe. Lokhu kwakungo-1999, ngakho angikhumbuli lo mkhiqizo, kodwa ngangisebenza kwezokubala ngakho ngiyakhumbula ukuthi zazishibhile. Zazinezimbobo, zilungiseka ngokugcwele futhi zinikeza ukwesekwa okwanele. Vele, ngaleso sikhathi empilweni yami engokwenyama, i-ergonomics yayingabalulekile kimi njengoba ibaluleke manje. Kusukela lapho, njengoba kukhulunywa ngezihlalo, ikhwalithi yehla kakhulu.
Emahhovisi eminyakeni edlule, kwakuvame ukuba nezimpi zangempela zokufuna izihlalo ezingcono kakhulu ngemva kokuhlelwa kabusha noma isikhathi sokudilizwa. Izinkampani ezimbalwa zazinomusa ngokwanele ukungithengela izihlalo, ngaphakathi kwesabelomali esithile ngokwemvelo. Azikho kulezi zihlalo ezake zamelana nezokuqala, ngokuvamile ziyizihlalo ezisindayo noma izihlalo zehhovisi zohlobo lweStaples ezinesekelo elincane le-lumbar (ngokuvamile zenza umonakalo omkhulu kunokuhle). Akukho sihlalo engihlale kuso eminyakeni edlule esiqhathaniswa nePalm uma kukhulunywa ngokusekelwa kwe-full back.
I-Palm yenzelwe ukuba yisihlalo esilungele ukuguquguquka, hhayi isihlalo esinezici ezithile ezilungele ukuguquguquka. Konke ngalesi sihlalo, kusukela eziphethwini esihlalweni kuya esisindweni sesihlalo (35lbs) kuya esisindweni saso (350lbs) kuklanyelwe ukuhlala isikhathi eside ngendlela efanele. Kunezindawo eziningi zokulungisa: ukujula kwesihlalo, ukujula kokubeka izingalo nokuphakama, ukuthambekela emuva, ukuqina nokuphakama kwesihlalo. Uma usuthole indawo yakho emnandi (ukuqinisekisa ukuthi izingalo zakho zilingana nedeski lakho namadolo nge-engeli engama-90-degree kuya phansi) usungahlala emuva nge-mesh bese uphumula.
Bengilokhu ngihlushwa yizinkinga zomhlane eminyakeni edlule futhi ngesonto eledlule bengibhekene nendawo evalekile esifundeni sami se-lumbar. Sengihlale kulesi sihlalo isonto lonke futhi sesikhohliwe. Angisho ukuthi i-Palm iyixazululile, kodwa ayizange ikwenze kube kubi kakhulu njengaleso sihlalo esishibhile engisithenge esitolo sezimpahla zasehhovisi. Futhi i-Palm ayibizi kangako ngo-$419.
Ngike ngahlala ezihlalweni ezibiza kakhulu futhi nakuba zinezici ezifanayo ze-ergonomic, zizwakala zibiza kakhulu ngenxa yokuthi zibiza kakhulu. Mhlawumbe nginobandlululo. Ngithanda isihlalo esiqinile esinomhlane ogobekayo obumba umzimba wami futhi ungivimbele ukuthi ngishelele phambili.
Nginezinkinga ezimbalwa ngesihlalo sePalm, kodwa uma ngihlala kuso isikhathi eside, lezi zinkinga zibonakala zincane kakhulu. Noma kunjalo, zisasebenza ngandlela thile.
Ukulungiswa okuvundlile ezihlalweni zokubeka izingalo akukwazi ukukhiywa, ngakho-ke, azihlali lapho kudingeka zibe khona. Njengengqondo yakho engaphumuli, zihlala zihamba futhi zihlala zilungiswa njalo uma usukuma uzishaya ngezindololwane zakho. Bheka, akufani nokuthi zisesilayidini esikhululekile, kukhona ukubamba lapho, kodwa ziyahamba. Njengoba ngingathandi ukuhlala ngithule, empeleni ngikuthole kungacasuli njengoba isikhathi siqhubeka.
Induku yokucindezela ifana nokugingqa ifasitela emotweni ngaphambi kwamafasitela kagesi. Lokhu akuyona into embi ngempela, ngaphandle kokuthi ukucindezela okuthandayo kushiya isibambo sinamathele phambili, singene ethangeni lakho. Ngakho kuzodingeka usisunduze kancane, noma usishiye sikhululekile ukuze ugcine induku yokucindezela ibheke phansi. Leli iphuzu eliqondile kakhulu lokungqubuzana nokusebenza kwesihlalo sonke futhi akufanele ngisho nokukhulunywa ngakho. Kodwa-ke, ngikuqaphelile ngakho-ke nansi-ke.
Ingxenye enemeshi yesihlalo sePalm yenziwe nge-thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) kanye ne-polyester fabric upholstery. Lokhu akuyona indwangu, ngakho awusheleli njengoba ubungenza esihlalweni sehhovisi esivamile. Lokhu kuyamangalisa. Uma sengizinzile, ngiyangena kukho. Lokhu kuvimbela ukugoba kanye ne-ergonomics yomzimba omubi. Akukho ukushelela phambili uye phansi futhi ungagcina imilenze yakho isendaweni eqondile engama-degree angu-90 phansi.
Uma ushelela ngenkani, i-Palm idonsa izingubo zakho. Ngenhlanhla i-backrest iyisiqeshana esisodwa ngakho ifihla ngobuqotho noma yikuphi ukuqhekeka kwezinqe okubonakalayo.
Ngokwesimo sezinto, lezi yizikhalazo ezincane uma ubheka ukungcola kwezihlalo zehhovisi engihlale kuzo eminyakeni engamashumi amabili edlule.
Izinto ezifanayo engizijabulelayo ngesihlalo sePalm yizinto abanye abahlali abangazithandi. Ukuqina kwesihlalo, ukuguquguquka komhlane yizinto ezimbili abanye abantu abanomuzwa wokuthi okuphambene nalokho kufanele kube yiqiniso. Uma kunjalo, khona-ke isihlalo sePalm asifanele labo bantu futhi lokho kulungile. Nokho, ngokombono we-ergonomic, lezo zinto zithinta ukuma, ukusatshalaliswa kwesisindo kanye nokucindezeleka kwemisipha. Ekuqaleni ngangikhathazekile ngokuntuleka kwesihlalo sokuphumula, kodwa uma isihlalo sibeka umhlane endaweni efanele, ngithole ukuthi isihlalo sokuphumula asidingeki.
I-ergonomics njengoba injalo akuyona indaba engenampikiswano nhlobo. Nakuba kunezidingo ezijwayelekile ze-ergonomics zenduduzo nokulawula umzimba womuntu, ukushaywa okuhlukile kwabantu abahlukene nokunye. Abanye abantu bangadinga ukwesekwa komhlane okuqinile nokungaguquguquki, abanye bangadinga isihlalo esithambile. Abanye bangadinga ingxenye ye-lumbar evelele kakhulu. I-Palm, yize ngokuqinisekile igcwalisa izidingo zami ze-ergonomics, iyisihlalo esiyingqayizivele kakhulu maqondana nokusebenziseka kahle.
Ngokuyisisekelo, isihlalo sikaPalm sika-Autonomous asifani nemigqa yezihlalo zasehhovisi ozozibona esitolo. Akusona isihlalo esiboshwe ngesikhumba esiphezulu esithambile kakhulu, noma isihlalo esijwayelekile. Senzelwe ngqo ukucabangela isethi ethile (futhi eyamukelwa kabanzi) yemithetho ye-ergonomic. Kimi, lokho kuphelele. Yilokho kanye engikudingayo, lokho umhlane wami okudingayo kanye nalokho okudingwa yimpundu yami. Mina sonke sidinga ifenisha ekhululekile, kodwa eqinile nethethelelayo, ngenhloso yokuhlala ehambisana nezidingo zami ze-ergonomic kanye ne-Palm enikezayo.
