Abstract
The invention concerns an adaptable, retractable, removable side headrest, consisting in a device for equipping an armchair or an ordinary seat with a side headrest. The device comprises a seat cover (9, dotted lines) adapted to the armchair top, two side armrests, consisting of a fixed part inside the cover (1 and 2) and serving as support, and a movable part (5 and 6) covered with foam and fabric serving as side headrest. These two side armrest parts are linked by standard or serrated articulation (3 and 4) capable of being moved inwards, upwards or downwards for easier storage. The rigidity of the side headrests relative to the armchair is provided by adjustable seat belts integrated in the cover, one at the rear (8) and the other at the front (7). A variant of the device consists in replacing one adjusting support belt (7 or 8) or both (7 and 8) by adjusting rigid rods. The headrest can be used for seats in aeroplanes, trains, ferry-boats and cars.
Description
APPUI-TETE LATERAL AMOVIBLE, RETRACTABLE ET UNIVERSEL REMOVABLE, RETRACTABLE AND UNIVERSAL SIDE HEADREST
La présente invention concerne un dispositif permettant d'équiper un fauteuil ou un siège ordinaire d'un appui-tête latéral.The present invention relates to a device for equipping an ordinary chair or seat with a lateral headrest.
Effectivement, que ce soit en avion, train, ferry-boat, voiture, etc., il est très difficile de se reposer dans les fauteuils du fait que notre tête n'est pas tenue latéralement.Indeed, whether by plane, train, ferry, car, etc., it is very difficult to rest in the chairs because our head is not held laterally.
Cette invention peut remédier à cet inconvénient : tout fauteuil ordinaire se transformera, grâce à la pose de cet appui-tête latéral amovible, en un siège permettant un repos complet de la tête et facilitera le sommeil et l'assoupissement. Cet appui-tête est donc : - Universel : il sera possible de régler la largeur de cet appui-tête latéral.This invention can remedy this drawback: any ordinary chair will be transformed, by fitting this removable lateral headrest, into a seat allowing complete head rest and will facilitate sleep and drowsiness. This headrest is therefore: - Universal: it will be possible to adjust the width of this lateral headrest.
- Amovible : pour permettre de placer cet appui-tête sur un fauteuil et de le retirer à sa convenance ( par exemple, les compagnies aériennes pourraient fournir ou retirer cet appui-tête latéral à la demande).- Removable: to allow this headrest to be placed on an armchair and to be removed at its convenience (for example, airlines could supply or remove this lateral headrest on request).
- Rétractable : pour procurer un gain de place lors du rangement ou de l'entreposition, il sera possible de replier le deux bras de soutien latéraux (cette option est plus pratique, mais des modèles non rétractables sont également possibles).- Retractable: to save space when storing or storing, it will be possible to fold the two lateral support arms (this option is more practical, but non-retractable models are also possible).
Le dispositif selon l'invention comporte donc une housse (en tissus ou plastique) qui s'adapte au haut du fauteuil ou du siège, et permet de positionner l'invention. Dans cette housse se trouvent des sangles de serrage, réglables en longueur, donnant la rigidité à l'ensemble, et deux bras latéraux (une partie fixe dans la housse et une partie mobile à l'extérieur) articulés, en plastique ou métal, qui, recouverts de rembourrages et de tissus, serviront d'appui-têtes latéraux. Ainsi l'utilisateur pourra reposer sa tête sur l'un ou l'autre des cotés, ou replier les bras (vers le haut, le bas ou l'intérieur), ou même retirer l'ensemble de l'appui-tête en enlevant la housse. Selon des modes particuliers de réalisation:The device according to the invention therefore comprises a cover (in fabric or plastic) which adapts to the top of the armchair or seat, and makes it possible to position the invention. In this cover are tightening straps, adjustable in length, giving rigidity to the assembly, and two lateral arms (a fixed part in the cover and a mobile part outside) articulated, in plastic or metal, which , covered with padding and fabric, will serve as side headrests. So the user can rest his head on either side, or fold the arms (up, down or inside), or even remove the entire headrest by removing the cover. According to particular embodiments:
- les sangles servant d'armatures aux bras latéraux peuvent être remplacées par des tiges rigides (en métal ou plastique); - l'articulation existante entre la partie du bras latéral fixée dans la housse et la partie servant d'appui-tête pourra être de type classique ou cranté pour permettre un réglage et un repliage vers le haut, le bas ou l'intérieur;
- le rembourrage des appui-têtes latéraux pourra être remplacé par des chambres à air gonflables;- the straps used to reinforce the lateral arms can be replaced by rigid rods (in metal or plastic); - The existing articulation between the part of the lateral arm fixed in the cover and the part serving as a headrest can be of the conventional or notched type to allow adjustment and folding up, down or inside; - the padding of the side headrests may be replaced by inflatable air chambers;
- la housse servant de support de l'appui-tête pourra se régler et s'attacher selon un dispositif d'élastiques, de velcros, de cordelettes ou de boutons. Le dessin annexé (fiq.1 ) illustre le dispositif de l'invention :- the cover serving as a support for the headrest can be adjusted and attached using a device of elastic bands, velcros, cords or buttons. The attached drawing (fiq.1) illustrates the device of the invention:
Le dispositif comporte :The device includes:
- une housse (9, en pointillés) s'adaptant au haut du fauteuil, et maintenue sur les cotés par un dispositif de serrage;- a cover (9, in dotted lines) adapting to the top of the chair, and held on the sides by a clamping device;
- deux bras latéraux, constitués d'une partie fixe à l'intérieur de la housse(1 et 2) et servant de maintien, et d'une partie mobile (5 et 6) recouverte de mousse et de tissus (ou d'une autre matière) servant d'appui-tête latéral. Ces deux parties des bras latéraux sont reliées par une articulation (3 et 4) dont les mouvements pourront être dirigés vers l'intérieur, le haut ou le bas pour faciliter le rangement, l'entreposition et l'adaptation de l'invention. Cette dernière articulation pourra être de type classique ou de type cranté pour faciliter le réglage.- two lateral arms, consisting of a fixed part inside the cover (1 and 2) and serving to hold it, and a mobile part (5 and 6) covered with foam and fabrics (or a other material) serving as a side headrest. These two parts of the lateral arms are connected by an articulation (3 and 4), the movements of which can be directed inwards, upwards or downwards to facilitate storage, storage and adaptation of the invention. This last articulation may be of the conventional type or of the notched type to facilitate adjustment.
La rigidité des appui-têtes latéraux par rapport au fauteuil sera donnée par des sangles réglables incorporées à la housse, l'une derrière le fauteuil (8), et l'autre devant (7).The rigidity of the lateral headrests with respect to the chair will be given by adjustable straps incorporated in the cover, one behind the chair (8), and the other in front (7).
Une autre variante du dispositif consiste à remplacer l'une (7 ou 8) ou les deux (7 et 8) sangles de maintien et de réglage par des tiges rigides (plastique ou métal) réglables également.Another variant of the device consists in replacing one (7 or 8) or both (7 and 8) holding and adjusting straps by rigid rods (plastic or metal) also adjustable.
Le système de rembourrage des appui-tête latéraux en mousse pourra être remplacé par une autre matière, ou par des chambres à air gonflables.The padding system of the side foam headrests can be replaced by another material, or by inflatable air chambers.
Applications industrielles : l'appui-tête décrit ci-dessus permettrait une utilisation pour les fauteuils des compagnies aériennes, ferroviaires, de ferries- boats, des constructeurs automobiles et accessoiristes automobiles, etc..
Industrial applications: the headrest described above would allow use for the seats of airlines, railways, ferries, car manufacturers and car accessories, etc.
