Definitions

  • the invention relates to a chaise-longue.
  • This type of chaise-longue is relatively complex, because it consists of a plurality of elements including, among other things, articulation axes, crutches, links ...
  • the multiplicity of these elements leads not only to mounting relatively long, but also with a certain brittleness, and involves maintenance requirements, because certain elements, such as in particular the axes, the rods, the crutches ..., are necessarily metal parts which, in more or less long term , are subject to oxidation and rust if they are not regularly maintained.
  • These deckchairs also have the unfortunate characteristic of being bulky, including during periods of non-use, which affects their storage.
  • GB-A-328 563 also discloses an armchair with a reclining backrest in which the positioning and the adjustment of the position of the backrest on the frame of the armchair are obtained by cooperation of three fingers, the first of which cooperates with the one or the other of several notches arranged in the armrest, the second of which cooperates with one or the other of several notches arranged in a rack, and the third of which cooperates with a slide.
  • the layout of this chair is relatively complex; but above all it has the drawback of not allowing the use of the armchair in a chaise-longue and making it practically impossible if not very difficult to dismantle the backrest relative to the frame of the armchair.
  • E 1 1 ea for r purpose for this purpose, a chaise-longue in which the frame comprises the seat surface and the backrest comprises two means or pairs of adjustable support means, one of these means being constituted by an axis bearing on the frame at an adjustable point placed substantially at the level of the seat surface, this means being located in the position of use of the chaise-longue in front of the center of gravity of the backrest, and the other means being placed at the lower end of the backrest so that , by simple cantilever effect, the backrest retains the position given to it on the frame and that no force acting from front to back in a visible area of the front face of the backrest can release it from this position.
  • This chaise-longue is made up of two essential elements: a seat (1) and a backrest (2). These are two elements which are advantageously made of synthetic resin and are obtained by molding.
  • the seat element comprises the seat itself (1) which comes from molding with two side members (3) which themselves come from molding with two feet (4) located below the seat and with two extensions ( 5) serving as support for the axles of two wheels (6) which allow the chaise-longue to be moved, but which also serve, in combination with the legs (4), to rest on the ground.
  • Each of the two beams (3) has a light (7) arranged in a vertical plane; and laterally to this light (7), the upper edge of the beam (3) has notches (8) which are, for example, four in number. These notches play the role of a rack with which any other member cooperates making it possible to position and adjust the inclination of the backrest (2).
  • This file (2) comes from molding with two arms (9) which are located on its dorsal face, and which project relative to the lower edge of the file.
  • the spacing of these arms (9) is equal to the spacing of the lights f) of the two side members (3) of the seat element (1); and their thickness is such that, by their projecting lower end, they can freely penetrate inside these lights.
  • Each of the two arms (9) carries a lateral finger (10) whose role is to bear in one or other of the notches (8) of the rack fitted on the upper edge of the corresponding spar (3) of the 'seat element; and on its lower extreme edge each arm (9) has two notches (12) one of which is intended to cooperate with one or the other of two stops (13 and 14) fixed on the inner face of the corresponding spar (3) of the seat element (1).
  • Figures 3, 4, 5 and 6 also illustrate the various tilt positions that can be given to the backrest (2) relative to the seat (1).
  • FIG. 3 illustrates a position in which the backrest (2) occupies the position of minimum inclination.
  • each of the two fingers (10) of the backrest (2) rests in the notch (8a) which is the one closest to the seat itself (1); and against the stop (13) of the seat element bears on the upper edge of the corresponding arm (9) of the backrest, above the notches (12).
  • each of the two fingers (10) of the backrest (2) is no longer supported in the notch (8a) but in the following (8b); and the lower end of each of the two arms (9) bears against the stop (13) no longer by the upper edge of the arm, but by its upper notch (12b).
  • the backrest (2) is more inclined than in the previous position in Figure 3.
  • each of the two fingers (10) of the backrest (2) is no longer supported in the notch (8b) but in the notch (8c) of the rack (8); and the very edge of each arm (9) bears against the stop (13) no longer by its notch (12b), but by that (12c).
  • the backrest (2) occupies a posi tion even more inclined than that of FIG. 4.
  • each of the two fingers (10) of the backrest (2) is no longer supported in the notch (8c) of the rack (8), but in its notch (8d) which is the most distant seat (1); and the extreme edge of each of the two arms (9) of the back rests by its notch (12c) no longer against the stop (13), but against that (14) which is located at a higher level.
  • the inclination of the backrest (2) is such that the seat (1) and the backrest (2) constitute a daybed, since they are located substantially in the extension of one another.
