Abstract

A chaise lounge has a supporting unit whose longitudinal members are provided with rollers and are slotted to receive arms of a backrest which have pins selectively engageable in notches along these slots and whose free ends are engageable by abutments on the underside of the supporting unit to cantilever the backrest on the latter.

Description

L'invention a pour objet une chaise-longue.The invention relates to a chaise-longue.

Il existe divers types de chaises-longues; et c'est ainsi que sont connues des chaises-longues qui, destinées plus particulièrement aux jardins et aux terrasses, comportent un châssis servant à la fois de piétement et d'assise, et équipé, d'une part, de deux roues et, d'autre part, de deux poignées ou organes similaires pour permettre de déplacer la chaise-longue; et sur le châssis est articulé un dossier dont l'inclinaison est réglable.There are various types of lounge chairs; and this is how deckchairs are known which, intended more particularly for gardens and terraces, comprise a frame serving both as a base and a seat, and equipped, on the one hand, with two wheels and, on the other hand, two handles or similar members to allow the chair to be moved; and on the chassis is articulated a backrest whose inclination is adjustable.

Ce type de chaise-longue est relativement complexe, car il est constitué par une pluralité d'élements comprenant, entre autres, des axes d'articulation, des béquilles, des biellettes... La multiplicité de ces éléments conduit non seulement à un montage relativement long, mais aussi à une certaine fragilité, et entraîne des impératifs d'entretien, car certains éléments, tels que notamment les axes, les biellettes, les béquilles..., sont nécessairement des pièces métalliques qui, à plus ou moins long terme, sont sujettes à oxydation et à rouille si elles ne sont pas régulièrement entretenues. Ces chaises-longues présentent par ailleurs la caractéristique regrettable d'être volumineuses, y compris en période de non utilisation, ce qui nuit à leur stockage.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 lounge chairs also have the unfortunate characteristic of being bulky, including during periods of non-use, which affects storage.

Par le GB-A-328 563, est d'autre part connu un fauteuil à dossier inclinable dans lequel le positionnement et le réglage de la position du dossier sur le bâti du fauteuil sont obtenus par coopération de trois doigts dont le premier coopère avec l'un ou l'autre de plusieurs crans aménagés dans l'accoudoir, dont le second coopère avec l'un ou l'autre de plusieurs crans aménagés dans une crémaillère, et dont le troisième coopère avec une glissière. L'agencement de ce fauteuil est relativement complexe; mais il présente surtout pour inconvénient de ne pas permettre l'utilisation du fauteuil en chaise-longue et de rendre pratiquement impossible sinon très difficile le démontage du dossier par rapport au bâti du fauteuil.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.

L'invention remédie à tous ces inconvénients. Elle a pour objet une chaise-longue du type dont le bâti forme la surface d'assise et dont le dossier est d'inclinaison réglable par rapport à cette surface et prend appui sur le bâti par deux moyens ou deux paires de moyens, dont l'un est constitué par un doigt prenant appui en un point réglable situé sur le bâti sensiblement au niveau de la surface d'assise. L'originalité de la chaise-longue selon l'invention réside dans le fait que son dossier se prolonge en dessous de la surface d'assise, et le bord inférieur de ce prolongement constitue le deuxième moyen d'appui qui est ainsi situé en dessous de cette surface d'assise, de telle sorte que, par simple effet de porte-à-faux, le dossier conserve sur le bâti la position qui lui a été donnée et qu'aucune force agissant d'avant en arrière en une zone visible de la face avant du dossier ne peut le dégager de cetteThe invention overcomes all these drawbacks. It relates to a chaise-longue of the type whose frame forms the seating surface and whose backrest is of adjustable inclination with respect to this surface and is supported on the frame by two means or two pairs of means, including l 'One consists of a finger resting on an adjustable point located on the frame substantially at the level of the seat surface. The originality of the chaise longue according to the invention lies in the fact that its back extends below the seating surface, and the lower edge of this extension constitutes the second support means which is thus located below of this seat surface, so that, by simple cantilever effect, the backrest retains the position given to it on the frame and no force acting back and forth in a visible area of the front of the backrest cannot release it from this

position.position.

L'invention sera bien comprise d'ailleurs, et ses avantages ainsi que d'autres caractéristiques ressortiront de la description qui suit, en référence au dessin schématique annexé représentant à titre d'exemple non limitatif, une forme d'exécution de cette chaise-longue:The invention will be understood moreover, and its advantages as well as other characteristics will emerge from the description which follows, with reference to the appended schematic drawing representing by way of nonlimiting example, an embodiment of this chair- long:

Figures 1 et 2 en sont des vues en perspective, respectivement, à l'état de séparation des deux éléments essentiels qui la constituent et en position d'utilisation;Figures 1 and 2 are perspective views, respectively, in the state of separation of the two essential elements which constitute it and in the position of use;

Figures 3, 4, 5 et 6 en sont, à plus grande échelle, des vues partielles de côté en élévation dans diverses positions d'inclinaison du dossier.Figures 3, 4, 5 and 6 are, on a larger scale, partial side views in elevation in various positions of inclination of the backrest.

Cette chaise-longue est composée de deux éléments essentiels: une assise (1) et un dossier (2). Il s'agit de deux éléments qui sont avantageusement constitués en résine synthétique et sont obtenus par moulage.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.

L'élément d'assise comprend l'assise proprement dite 1 qui vient de moulage avec deux longerons (3) venant eux-mêmes de moulage avec deux pieds (4) situés en-dessous de l'assise et avec deux prolongements (5) servant de support aux axes de deux roues (6) qui permettent de déplacer la chaise-longue, mais qui lui servent aussi en combinaison avec les pieds (4), à reposer sur le sol.The seat element comprises the seat itself 1 which comes from molding with two longitudinal members (3) which themselves come from molding with two feet (4) located below the seat and with two extensions (5) serving as a 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.

Chacun des deux longerons (3) présente une lumière (7) aménagée dans un plan vertical; et lateralement à cette lumière (7), le bord supérieur du longeron (3) présente des encoches (8) qui sont, par exemple au nombre de quatre. Ces encoches jouent le rôle d'une crémaillère avec laquelle coopère tout autre organe permettant de positionner et de régler l'inclinaison du dossier (2).Each of the two beams (3) has a light (7) arranged in a vertical plane; and laterally at 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).

Ce dossier (2) vient de moulage avec deux bras (9) qui sont situés sur sa face dorsale, et qui dépassent par rapport au bord inférieur du dossier. L'écartement de ces bras (9) est égal à l'écartement des lumières (7) des deux longerons (3) de l'élément d'assise (1); et leur épaisseur est telle que, par leur extrémité inférieure débordante, ils puissent librement pénétrer à l'intérieur de ces lumières.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 (7) 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.

Chacun des deux bras (9) porte un doigt latéral (10) dont le rôle est de prendre appui dans l'une ou l'autre des encoches (8) de la crémailière amenagée sur le bord supérieur du longeron correspondant (3) de l'élément d'assise; et sur son bord extrême inférieur chaque bras (9) présente deux encoches (12) dont l'une ou l'autre est destinée à coopérer avec l'une ou l'autre de deux butées (13 et 14) fixées sur la face intérieure du longeron correspondant (3) de l'élément d'assise (1).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).

C'est par la coopération des deux doigts (10) du dossier avec les deux crémaillères (8) de l'élément d'assise et par la coopération des encoches (12) du dossier avec l'une ou l'autre des butées (13 et 14) de l'élément d'assise qu'il est possible, non seulement de positionner le dossier (2) sur l'élément d'assise (1) mais aussi de régler sa position d'inclinaison.It is by the cooperation of the two fingers (10) of the backrest with the two racks (8) of the seat element and by the cooperation of the notches (12) of the backrest with one or the other of the stops ( 13 and 14) of the seat element that it is possible not only to position the backrest (2) on the seat element (1) but also to adjust its tilt position.

Les figures 3, 4, 5 et 6 illustrent d'ailleurs les diverses positions d'inclinaison susceptibles d'être données au dossier (2) par rapport à l'assise (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).

La figure 3 illustre une position dans laquelle le dossier (2) occupe la position d'inclinaison minimale. Dans cette position, chacun des deux doigts (10) du dossier (2) repose dans l'encoche (8a) qui est celle la plus proche de l'assise proprement dite (1); et contre la butée (13) de l'élément d'assise prend appui le bord supérieur du bras correspondant (9) du dossier, au-dessus des encoches (12).FIG. 3 illustrates a position in which the backrest (2) occupies the position of minimum inclination. In this position, 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).

Dans la position représentée à la figure 4, chacun des deux doigts (10) du dossier (2) prend appui non plus dans l'encoche (8a) mais dans celle suivante (8b); et l'extrémité inférieure de chacun des deux bras (9) vient en appui contre la butée (13) non plus par le bord supérieur du bras, mais par son encoche supérieurr (12b). Dans cette position, le dossier (2) est plus incliné que dans la position précédente de figure 3.In the position shown in Figure 4, 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). In this position, the backrest (2) is more inclined than in the previous position in Figure 3.

Dans la position illustrée à la figure 5, chacun des deux doigts (10) du dossier (2) prend appui non plus dans l'encoche (8b) mais dans l'encoche (8c) de la crémaillère (8); et le bord extrême de chaque bras (9) vient en appui contre la butée (13) non plus par son encoche (12b), mais par celle (12c). Dans cette position, le dossier (2) occupe une position encore plus inclinée que celle de la figure 4.In the position illustrated in FIG. 5, 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 extreme edge of each arm (9) bears against the stop (13) no longer by its notch (12b), but by that (12c). In this position, the backrest (2) occupies an even more inclined position than that of FIG. 4.

Enfin, dans la figure 6, chacun des deux doigts (10) du dossier (2) prend appui non plus dans l'encoche (8c) de la crémaillère (8), mais dans son encoche (8d) qui est celle la plus éloignée de l'assise (1); et le bord extrême de chacun des deux bras (9) du dossier vient en appui par son encoche (12c) non plus contre la butée (13), mais contre celle (14) qui est située à un niveau plus haut. Dans cette position, l'inclinaison du dossier (2) est telle que l'assise (1) et le dossier (2) constituent un lit de repos, car ils sont situés sensiblement dans le prolongement l'un de l'autre.Finally, in FIG. 6, 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. In this position, 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.

Il est important de remarquer que le passage de l'une à l'autre de ces positions s'effectue très facilement et très rapidement, car il suffit d'exercer de simples mouvements de traction manuelle de bas en haut sur le dossier pour permettre à ses doigts (10) de se dégager de l'une ou l'autre des encoches de la crémaillère (8) et pour permettre à son bord inférieur extrême de se dégager de l'une ou l'autre des deux butées (13 et 14); et après que le dossier a ainsi été dégagé, il est amené dans la nouvelle position recherchée en faisant coopérer ses doigts (10) avec celle voulue des encoches (8), et les bords extrêmes de ses bras (9) avec celle voulue des deux butées (13 et 14).It is important to note that the passage from one to the other of these positions is very easy and very fast, because it is enough to exert simple manual pulling movements from bottom to top on the backrest to allow its fingers (10) to disengage from one or the other of the notches of the rack (8) and to allow its extreme lower edge to disengage from one or the other of the two stops (13 and 14 ); and after the backrest has thus been released, it is brought into the new desired position by making its fingers cooperate (10) with that desired of the notches (8), and the extreme edges of its arms (9) with that desired of the two stops (13 and 14).

Ainsi, il n'existe pas de moyens de liaison permanente et définitive entre l'assise (1) et le dossier (2). Cela présente un avantage supplémenaire, à savoir celui de permettre le démontage instantané du dossier c'est-à-dire son dégagement total hors de l'élément d'assise (1).Thus, there are no means of permanent and final connection between the seat (1) and the backrest (2). This has an additional advantage, namely that of allowing instantaneous disassembly of the backrest, that is to say its total clearance from the seat element (1).
