Definitions

  • the present invention relates to all types of furniture seats, vehicles, etc. comprising suspension means making it possible to provide the user with the desired support and comfort.
  • the object of this invention is to provide a seat which does not have the disadvantages of the aforementioned known seats.
  • This object is achieved by the seat, object of the invention, which comprises a lower frame and an upper frame on which are fixed bearing surfaces respectively forming the bottom and the backrest, in which at least one of the bearing surfaces is constituted by a elastic ply formed of wires arranged transversely, each wire having at least one permanent deformation preferably situated in the plane of the ply, and which is characterized by the fact that these permanent deformations are elastic and have a linear portion offset parallel to the rest of the wire and connected to it by two oblique portions.
  • Certain known seats intended more particularly for equipping automobiles, are of the type illustrated in FIG. 1 and comprise two respectively upper 1 and lower 2 frames, generally metallic and produced by stamped parts, profiles or tubular elements.
  • the bearing or support surfaces namely the backrest and the bottom, can be constituted by wire mesh 3, 4, fixed to lateral strips 5, 6.
  • Each rigid mesh-lateral strip assembly is fixed laterally to the respectively upper frame and lower by means of spring 7, 8, these being on the one hand hooked to the side rods 5, 6 and on the other hand fixed in orifices made in the respective frames 1, 2.
  • the frames and the trellises are covered for example with plastic foam and a fabric or other external material enveloping it in order to constitute the finished seat.
  • FIG. 2 is illustrated an embodiment of an elastic sheet 10 fixed to the upper frame 11 of a seat according to the invention and constituting the backrest thereof.
  • This sheet 10 is formed of a plurality of metal wires 12 arranged transversely practically parallel to one another.
  • Each wire has a permanent elastic deformation 13, here in the middle portion of the wire.
  • This can be made of an iron wire, or preferably of a normal or hardened spring steel wire (for example according to standard DIN 2076).
  • each wire is preferably located in a plane, and more particularly that of the sheet; its geometry can be that illustrated in FIG. 2, that is to say with a linear portion offset parallel to the rest of the wire and connected to it by two oblique portions (hereinafter referred to as "bowl" shape ").
  • the wire can have one or more of these deformations along its length.
  • the transverse wires 12 are preferably fixed by their ends to the lateral branches of a support element 14 here in the shape of a U.
  • the support element 14 carrying the elastic sheet or spring 10 is fixed to the frame by means of clips 15 pinched on the tube 11 constituting this frame.
  • Figures 6 and 7 illustrate two variants 15,15 'of these clips, which can be made of spring steel, plastic, etc.
  • elements 16 are arranged in the plane of the ply perpendicular to said wires, the latter passing through transverse orifices made in these elements at regular intervals.
  • These spacers 16 may for example be made of polypropylene cords.
  • the section of FIG. 3 makes it possible to better illustrate on the one hand the fact that the deformation 13 presented by the middle part of the wire 12 is indeed in the plane of the sheet, and on the other hand the fixing of the support 14 of the sheet to the tubular frame 11 by means of the clips 15.
  • the section of FIG. 4 shows the deformation of the wire 12 under the effect of a push according to the arrows V due for example to the support against the backrest of the back of the seat user.
  • Figure 5 shows in more detail and in plan the elastic deformation 13 of the wire 12.
  • solid line is illustrated the position of the wire 12 before the assembly of the sheet on the frame.
  • the ratio between the dimensions of the oblique portions 13 ′ and of the offset linear portion 13 ′′ of the cup-shaped deformation can be modified according to the desired spring effect.
  • dashed line is illustrated the shape of the deformation 13 in the position of rest of the wire 12, the elastic sheet being fixed to the frame and the support uprights 14 being slightly more apart from one another, while the dashed lines illustrate the shape of said deformation 13 when the wire 12 is stressed by a thrust substantially perpendicular to the plane of the spring ply.
  • the seat according to the invention as described above with reference to the drawings is still covered, for example, with a plastic foam, a fabric or another material enveloping it. to constitute the finished seat.
  • the seat according to the invention has the particular advantage of being more comfortable, the spring ply having better elasticity characteristics than a rigid trellis suspended laterally, because it s extends over at least part of the bearing surface.
  • the possibility of providing different forms of deformation and of arranging them differently on the surface of the elastic ply allows the seat according to the invention to be given different elastic characteristics which are distributed differently depending, for example, on the external lining envisaged. the seat (shape and elasticity of the padding in particular), the nature of the vehicle intended to be fitted with the seat (utility, luxury, sports car, etc.) and other factors such as the weight of the user, vehicle suspension characteristics, etc.
  • the fixing of the elastic sheet to the frame by means of simple clips facilitates manufacture, since it avoids the drilling of orifices in the frame and allows the use of light tubular frames, and on the other part allows the delivery in parts of the seat and makes its final assembly easy.
