Description

On sait qu'en vue de réduire l'encombrement et faciliter ainsi leur stockage et leur transport, on a proposé des fauteuils ou autres sièges dans lesquels les quatre éléments principaux, à savoir l'assise, le dossier et les deux flancs, sont constitués par des pièces séparées susceptibles d'être aisément assemblées les unes aux autres par l'utili­sateur lui-même. Il y a cependant lieu d'observer que les solutions qui ont été adoptées n'ont pas donné pleine satisfaction, par suite soit de la complexité des opérations de montage et de démontage, soit de l'im­plication de pièces d'assemblage séparées risquant d'être égarées, soit encore de la rigidité insuffisante du siège à l'état monté.We know that in order to reduce the size and thus facilitate their storage and transport, we have proposed armchairs or other seats in which the four main elements, namely the seat, the backrest and the two sides, are made up by separate parts which can be easily assembled together by the user himself. It should however be observed that the solutions which have been adopted have not given full satisfaction, owing either to the complexity of the assembly and disassembly operations, or to the involvement of separate assembly parts which risk d 'be lost, or still insufficient rigidity of the seat in the assembled state.

C'est à ces inconvénients que la présente invention entend principale­ment remédier.It is these drawbacks that the present invention mainly intends to remedy.

Dans le siège suivant l'invention, la partie antérieure de l'assise et la partie médiane du dossier sont assemblées aux flancs à l'aide de bou­tons latéraux opposés qui présentent un profil irrégulier et qui sont aptes, moyennant une orientation réciproque, différente de celle d'uti­lisation, momentanément conférée aux éléments envisagés, à venir s'in­troduire dans des boutonnières à profil correspondant et à être retenus à l'intérieur de celles-ci moyennant pivotement par rabattement desdits élements jusqu'à la position d'utilisation, tandis que la partie arrière de l'assise est réunie aux flancs par des oreilles latérales en saillie qui en fin de rabattement s'engagent dans des goussets d'appui conju­gués.In the seat according to the invention, the front part of the seat and the middle part of the backrest are assembled to the sides using opposite lateral buttons which have an irregular profile and which are capable, by means of a reciprocal orientation, different from that of use, momentarily conferred on the envisaged elements, to be introduced into buttonholes with corresponding profile and to be retained inside of them by pivoting by folding down said elements to the position of use, while that the rear part of the seat is joined to the sides by projecting lateral ears which, at the end of the folding down, engage in conjugated support gussets.

On comprend qu'un tel système ne fait appel à aucune pièce d'assemblage séparée et que sa mise en oeuvre pratique est à la portée de n'importe quel utilisateur, sans nécessiter aucun outil. On observera par ailleurs qu'on obtient un véritable bridage des quatre éléments du siège, en évitant radicalement toute apparition de jeu intempestif.It is understood that such a system does not use any separate assembly part and that its practical implementation is within the reach of any user, without requiring any tool. It will also be observed that a real clamping of the four elements of the seat is obtained, radically avoiding any appearance of untimely play.

Il convient encore de noter que l'invention ne fait pas obstacle à la réalisation de sièges à dossier réglable en inclinaison, et qu'elle permet surtout, moyennant l'apport de barres de renfort et de supports intermédiaires appropriés, l'obtention de sièges à places multiples, en forme de banquettes, bancs ou similaire.It should also be noted that the invention does not preclude the production of seats with adjustable backrest in inclination, and that it allows above all, by means of the provision of reinforcement bars and suitable intermediate supports, obtaining seats with multiple seats, in the form of benches, benches or the like.

Le fauteuil représenté en fig. 1 et 2 est formé, à la façon en soi con­nue, par l'assemblage de quatre éléments séparés, à savoir un dossier 1, une assise 2 et deux flancs verticaux creux 3, la partie supérieure de chacun de ces derniers étant conformée de manière à constituer accoudoir 3a ou à recevoir un tel accoudoir.The chair shown in fig. 1 and 2 is formed, in the manner known per se, by the assembly of four separate elements, namely a backrest 1, a seat 2 and two hollow vertical sides 3, the upper part of each of these being shaped so to form an armrest 3 a or to receive such an armrest.

Conformément à l'invention et comme plus particulièrement montré en fig. 2, 3 et 4, la partie antérieure de l'assise 2 comporte, opposés l'un à l'autre, deux boutons latéraux 4 conformés de manière à présenter une partie cylindrique solidaire d'un talon à profil irrégulier. De la même manière, on a prévu dans la paroi de chaque flanc 3 qui est tournée vers l'intérieur une boutonnière 5 établie au même profil, si bien qu'en affectant à l'assise 2 une orientation appropriée par rapport aux deux flancs 3 (illustrée en 2′ en fig. 3), on est en mesure d'introduire les boutons 4 dans les boutonnières 5, ces boutons se trouvant verrouillés en place dans lesdites boutonnières une fois ladite assise 2 rabattue à l'horizontale par pivotement.In accordance with the invention and as more particularly shown in FIG. 2, 3 and 4, the front part of the seat 2 comprises, opposite one another, two lateral buttons 4 shaped so as to have a cylindrical part secured to a heel with an irregular profile. Similarly, there is provided in the wall of each sidewall 3 which faces inward a buttonhole 5 established with the same profile, so that by assigning the seat 2 an appropriate orientation relative to the two sides 3 (illustrated in 2 ′ in fig. 3), it is possible to introduce the buttons 4 into the buttonholes 5, these buttons being locked in place in said buttonholes once said seat 2 is folded horizontally by pivoting.

Le même système d'assemblage par boutons latéraux 4 et boutonniéres correspondantes 5 est adopté pour la fixation du dossier 1 aux deux flancs 3. Comme montré en fig. 2, les boutons 4 sont prévus dans la partie médiane du dossier 1, de façon à coopérer avec des boutonniéres 5 ménagées dans la partie supérieure des flancs 3, au niveau des accou­doirs 3a. Dans ce cas, l'engagement des boutons 4 dans les boutonnières 5 implique l'orientation pratiquement horizontale du dossier 1 qui est ensuite rabattu à la verticale par pivotement pour assurer le verrouil­lage.The same assembly system by lateral buttons 4 and corresponding buttonholes 5 is adopted for fixing the backrest 1 to the two sides 3. As shown in FIG. 2, the buttons 4 are provided in the middle part of the backrest 1, so as to cooperate with buttonholes 5 formed in the upper part of the sides 3, at the level of the armrests 3 a . In this case, the engagement of the buttons 4 in the buttonholes 5 implies the practically horizontal orientation of the backrest 1 which is then folded vertically by pivoting to ensure locking.

La base du dossier 1 vient finalement prendre appui contre une butée arrière 3b (fig. 5) prévue à cet effet sur chaque flanc 3. Cette base comporte un bec 1a qui fait saillie vers l'avant de façon à déterminer une portée horizontale apte à accueillir le bord arrière de l'assise 2 lorsque cette dernière est rabattue vers le bas.The base of the backrest 1 finally comes to bear against a rear stop 3 b (fig. 5) provided for this purpose on each side 3. This base has a spout 1 a which projects forward so as to determine a horizontal range able to accommodate the rear edge of the seat 2 when the latter is folded down.

Il convient d'observer (fig. 2, 5 et 6) que la partie arrière de l'assi­ se 2 comporte, opposées l'une à l'autre, deux oreilles latérales 6 en saillie qui, lorsque ladite assise arrive en fin de basculement, vien­nent s'engager dans des goussets latéraux 7 ménagés sur la paroi inté­rieure des flancs 3, ces goussets 7 étant agencés pour former appuis pour les oreilles précitées.It should be noted (fig. 2, 5 and 6) that the rear part of the seat behaves, opposite one another, two projecting lateral ears 6 which, when said seat reaches the end of tilting, engage in lateral gussets 7 formed on the inner wall of the sides 3, these gussets 7 being arranged to form supports for the aforementioned ears.

Afin d'éviter tout relevage intempestif de l'assise 2 au cours de la manipulation du fauteuil, on a prévu un mécanisme de verrouillage qui, dans l'exemple de réalisation envisagé en fig. 7, comprend une dent 9 solidaire du bord arrière de ladite assise et profilée de manière à venir s'encliqueter élastiquement à l'intérieur d'une ouverture 10 pra­tiquée dans la base du dossier 1, immédiatement au-dessus du bec 3b de celui-ci.In order to avoid any untimely lifting of the seat 2 during the handling of the chair, a locking mechanism has been provided which, in the embodiment envisaged in FIG. 7, includes a tooth 9 integral with the rear edge of said seat and shaped so as to snap elastically inside an opening 10 made in the base of the backrest 1, immediately above the spout 3b of that -this.

Le caractère démontable des éléments du fauteuil permet la réalisation de sièges multiplaces en forme de banquettes, bancs ou similaires. En fig. 8, on a illustré l'agencement d'une banquette à deux places dans laquelle les deux flancs 3 sont réunis par deux barres tubulaires de renfort 11 pour former, en combinaison avec un support intermédiaire 12, une ossature apte à recevoir deux dossiers 1 et deux assises 2.The removable nature of the elements of the chair allows the realization of multi-seat seats in the form of benches, benches or the like. In fig. 8, there is illustrated the arrangement of a two-seater bench seat in which the two sides 3 are joined by two tubular reinforcing bars 11 to form, in combination with an intermediate support 12, a frame capable of receiving two backs 1 and two seats 2.

Les extrémités des barres horizontales 11 viennent s'engager dans des consoles 13 prévues sur la paroi intérieure de chacun des flancs 3, tandis que le support intermédiaire 12 comporte des portées 12a ouvertes vers le bas de manière à prendre appui sur lesdites barres, ledit sup­port se trouvant ainsi suspendu à celles-ci. La retenue en place des éléments de l'ossature ainsi réalisée est opérée par les deux dossiers 1 et les deux assises 2 dont les boutons latéraux 4 viennent coopérer soit avec les boutonnières 5 des flancs 3, soit avec des boutonnières équiva­lentes ménagées dans le support intermédiaire 12. Ce dernier comporte également des goussets latéraux 7 pour recevoir les oreilles 6 des assi­ses 2, si bien que l'ensemble des éléments de la banquettes se trouve parfaitement bridé en formant un tout rigide.The ends of the horizontal bars 11 engage in consoles 13 provided on the inner wall of each of the sides 3, while the intermediate support 12 has bearing surfaces 12 a open downwards so as to bear on said bars, said support thus being suspended from them. The retention in place of the elements of the framework thus produced is operated by the two backs 1 and the two seats 2, the side buttons 4 of which cooperate either with the buttonholes 5 of the sidewalls 3, or with equivalent buttonholes formed in the intermediate support 12. The latter also includes lateral gussets 7 for receiving the ears 6 of the seats 2, so that all of the elements of the benches are perfectly clamped, forming a rigid whole.

On conçoit que la longueur des barres 11 varie en fonction du nombre de places désiré pour la banquette ou le banc à réaliser, cette longueur étant en tout état de cause un multiple de la largeur de chaque siège. Pour soutenir les barres 11 lorsqu'elles présentent une longueur consi­dérable, on peut remplacer le support intermédiaire 12 de fig. 8 par celui référencé 14 en fig. 9, qui est pourvu de pieds propres à prendre appui sur le sol ; en pareil cas les portées 14a sont ouvertes vers le haut de façon à soutenir les barres 11.It will be appreciated that the length of the bars 11 varies as a function of the number of places desired for the bench or bench to be produced, this length being in any event a multiple of the width of each seat. To support the bars 11 when they have a considerable length, one can replace the intermediate support 12 of FIG. 8 per that referenced 14 in fig. 9, which is provided with feet suitable for bearing on the ground; in this case the bearing surfaces 14a are open upwards so as to support the bars 11.

Il va de soi que les supports intermédiaires 12 ou 14 sont susceptibles de comporter des accoudoirs analogues à celui des flancs 3. Par ailleurs le dossier 1 de l'un des sièges élémentaires du banc ou banquette peut être supprimé, tandis que l'assise 2 est remplacée par un plateau hori­zontal formant tablette, éventuellement agencée pour recevoir un bac à fleur ou article similaire.It goes without saying that the intermediate supports 12 or 14 are likely to include armrests similar to that of the sidewalls 3. Furthermore the backrest 1 of one of the elementary seats of the bench or bench can be omitted, while the seat 2 is replaced by a horizontal tray forming a shelf, possibly arranged to receive a flower box or similar article.

Fig. 10 illustre la réalisation, conformément à l'invention, d'un fau­teuil à dossier inclinable. Celui-ci comprend deux flancs 3 identiques à ceux ci-dessus décrits, de manière à coopérer avec un dossier 21 et une assise 22. Comme plus particulièrement montré en fig. 11 et 12, la par­tie arrière de cette assise 22 comporte, en arrière de chaque oreille latérale 6, une saillie 15 qui en combinaison avec une demi-bride 16 aménagée dans le flanc 3, constitue une sorte de coquille ouvrable en deux piéces définissant un palier cylindrique 17. La retenue de l'assise 22 est dans ce cas opérée par une languette de verrouillage 18, agencée de manière à venir s'encliqueter élastiquement au-dessous du gousset 7 du flanc correspondant 3 par exemple.Fig. 10 illustrates the production, in accordance with the invention, of an armchair with a reclining back. This comprises two sides 3 identical to those described above, so as to cooperate with a backrest 21 and a seat 22. As more particularly shown in FIG. 11 and 12, the rear part of this seat 22 comprises, behind each lateral ear 6, a projection 15 which in combination with a half-flange 16 arranged in the sidewall 3, constitutes a sort of shell which can be opened in two parts defining a cylindrical bearing 17. The retaining of the seat 22 is in this case operated by a locking tab 18, arranged so as to snap elastically below the gusset 7 of the corresponding flank 3 for example.

Les deux paliers 17 ainsi prévus au niveau de la partie arrière de l'assise 22 sont destinés à recevoir à pivotement deux tourillons laté­raux 19 prévus à la base du dossier 21, lequel peut ainsi être orienté par rapport à ladite assise. Au voisinage de son sommet, ce dossier 21 comporte deux pattes latérales 20 pourvues d'un bossage 23 tourné hori­zontalement vers l'extérieur afin de venir s'engager à l'intérieur d'un logement 24a ménagé dans chacun des bras latéraux d'une barre oscillante de manoeuvre 24.The two bearings 17 thus provided at the rear part of the seat 22 are intended to pivotally receive two lateral pins 19 provided at the base of the backrest 21, which can thus be oriented relative to said seat. Near its top, this folder 21 comprises two lateral lugs 20 provided with a boss 23 horizontally turned outwards in order to be engaged inside a housing 24 is formed in each of the side arm a maneuvering swing bar 24.

La paroi de ces bras qui est tournée vers l'extérieur est solidaire de boutons 4 qui sont destinés à être engagés dans les boutonnières supé­rieures 5 des flancs 3, de telle sorte que la partie médiane du dossier 21 est réunie auxdits flancs par l'intermédiaire des bossages 23 et de la barre de manoeuvre 24. Etant donné que les logements 24a des bras de cette barre 24 présentent un profil triangulaire à angles arondis, on comprend que les tourillons 23 sont susceptibles de venir s'adapter dans les angles référencés 25 et 26 en fig. 13 et 14, en conférant ainsi au dossier 21 deux orientations différentes parfaitement stables, le passa­ge de l'une à l'autre de ces deux orientations étant opéré moyennant déplacement angulaire de la barre oscillante 24, impliquant le passage à une position intermédiaire représentée en fig. 12.The wall of these arms which is turned towards the outside is secured to buttons 4 which are intended to be engaged in the upper buttonholes 5 of the sides 3, so that the middle part of the backrest 21 is joined to said sides through bosses 23 and the operating bar 24. Since the housings 24 has arms of this bar 24 have a triangular profile with rounded angles, it is understood that the pins 23 are capable of coming to fit in the angles referenced 25 and 26 in fig. 13 and 14, thus conferring on the file 21 two different perfectly stable orientations, the transition from one to the other of these two orientations being effected by angular displacement of the oscillating bar 24, implying the transition to an intermediate position shown in fig. 12.

Il va de soi que ce mode de mise en oeuvre de l'invention, permettant à l'utilisateur de régler aisément l'orientation du dossier par rapport à l'assise, est susceptible d'être adopté pour la réalisation de sièges multiplaces du genre de celui illustré en fig. 8 et 9.It goes without saying that this embodiment of the invention, allowing the user to easily adjust the orientation of the backrest with respect to the seat, is capable of being adopted for the production of multi-seat seats of the kind from that illustrated in fig. 8 and 9.
