Definitions

  • the invention relates to a folding outdoor seat of the trunk-bench type in which a panel forms either, in the open position the back of the bench, or in the closed position the trunk lid.
  • document FR 2 550 070 describes a device for maneuvering a moving part in rotation between two extreme positions and a piece of furniture of the bench seat type which comprises it and whose handling is very simple and very reliable.
  • a frame forms the fixed part of the trunk and a movable part forms either the lid of the trunk, or the backrest and the part forming a seat.
  • the operating device comprises an operating part having an active blocking position, means for holding this part in the active position and means for controlling this operating part.
  • the objective of the invention is to provide an outdoor seat having the same advantages, which is even more resistant whatever the conditions of its use and which can, as a bench seat be as comfortable as a non-folding piece of furniture. In addition, it must withstand rain without the need to shelter it or extract any element from it.
  • a folding piece of furniture is available of the bench-seat type comprising a device for maneuvering a movable part in rotation relative to a chassis, said movable part consisting of a first panel alternately forming the seat back in the open position and the trunk lid in the closed position and a second panel, perpendicular to the first, forming a seat part in the open position and comprising a third panel forming the other seat part and articulated with respect to the second and a part maneuver pivotally mounted on the movable part having an active blocking position in which it keeps the movable part in the open position, means for holding the actuating part in its active blocking position and means for controlling the part maneuver to move it away from its active blocking position, in which in its active blocking position, the operating part limits the movement of the part this mobile whatever the direction of the force exerted on its panels.
  • the seat of the invention comprises armrests.
  • the seat of the invention is a folding furniture of the bench seat type. It is therefore intended to be able, in the closed position, to constitute a trunk as shown in FIG. 1, and in the open position to constitute an armchair or a bench as shown in FIG. 2.
  • This movable part consists of a first panel 2a alternately forming the seat backrest in the open position and the trunk lid in position closed and a second panel 2b perpendicular to the first forming part of the seat in the open position. It also includes a third panel 4 forming the other part of the seat and articulated relative to the second panel.
  • the seat comprises an operating part 5 pivotally mounted on the moving part 2 and having an active locking position in which it keeps the moving part 2 in the open position.
  • It also comprises means 6, 7, 8 for holding the operating part in its active blocking position and control means 9 for the operating part making it possible to move it away from its active blocking position.
  • the seat comprises means limiting the movement of the moving part 2 when a force is exerted on the first panel 2a in the open position, towards the rear. This force results for example from the support of the user against the backrest.
  • the seat comprises two uprights 19, 20 integral with the chassis 3 and fixed relative to the latter
  • these uprights 19, 20 are connected at their upper end by a bar 21.
  • the chassis 3 has wheels 22, 23.
  • the bar 21 makes it possible to lift the rear of the seat which, then resting on the wheels 22 and 23 can be easily moved.
  • the operating part 5 in its active blocking position, limits the movement of the moving part 2 whatever the direction of the force exerted on these panels 2a and 2b.
  • the operating part 5 In the open position, the operating part 5 is maintained in a substantially vertical position. Thus, whatever the force applied downwards on any one of the seat parts, the operating part 5 prevents any movement and keeps the backrest and the seat in their position. When a force horizontal is applied rearward on the backrest 2a the movement of the operating part 5 being limited the movement of this backrest 2a is quickly stopped.
  • the operating part 5 In the closed position, represented for example in FIG. 8, the operating part 5 is substantially horizontal resting on the bottom of the chassis 3 the first panel 2a constitutes the trunk lid while the panel 2b has come to be placed in a vertical position at the inside this chest.
  • the operating part 5 comprises two substantially cylindrical lugs 6a and 6b each cooperating with a key 7 and a stop 8 to limit the movement of the operating part relative to its active locking position.
  • the key 7 prevents its movement backwards and limits the movement upwards, the stop 8 prevents movement forwards except when the operating part is raised to a level higher than this.
  • the pins 6, the keys 7, the stops 8 constitute the means for blocking the operating part 5.
  • the operating part tends to rise.
  • the pins 6 carried by the operating part 5 at the end opposite to its axis of articulation with the part 2 are first of all moved forward then at the end of their movement when the part 5 approaches the vertical position the pins 6 go from front to rear. Sliding on the bottom of the chassis they are slightly raised by the stops and come to engage in the space delimited by the stops 8 and the keys 7.
  • the shape of the key is adapted in such a way that the movement of the operating part 5 is limited not only backwards but also upwards.
  • the stops 8 for their part limit moving the operating part forward. The seat is thus locked in the open position.
  • the key 7 and the stop 8 are fixed to the bottom of the chassis 4 and the key is movable and tilts when the piece of furniture is in the closed position.
  • the stop comprises an inclined face oriented upwards from front to rear, facilitating the movement then the engagement of the pins 6.
  • the rear face of these stops is substantially vertical so as to avoid any movement of the operating part 5 once in locking position from rear to front.
  • the lugs 6 are protuberances carried by the operating part.
  • they are constituted by a metal rod rigidly fixed to the lower part of this maneuvering plate, the ends of which extend slightly beyond the sides of the maneuvering plate so as to constitute the pins 6.
  • the operating part 5 is pivotally mounted on the movable part 2 it can for example be connected by one or more hinges.
  • the control means 9 of the operating part 5 simultaneously produce its lifting and its forward movement so as to release it from the stop 8.
  • the operating part being thus released all of the movable part of the cabinet is in unstable position.
  • the cover 2a tends to close, bringing with it the whole of the part 2 and the third panel 4, the movement of which is damped by the slides 10.
  • the operating part 5 returns to its horizontal position corresponding to the closed position of the seat.
  • control means 9 of the operating part 5 comprises an approximately flat plate generally parallel to the bottom of the chassis and articulated around an axis which passes through it parallel to the pivot axis of the operating part 5.
  • the furniture of the invention comprises elements 11 which constitute armrests in the open position and are folded back inside the chassis in the closed position.
  • the armrests 11 are integral with the part 2 but partially movable in rotation relative to the latter. They are connected to the cover 2a by means of part 12.
  • the shape of the part 12 and of the armrests 11 is such that in the open position only an upward rotation movement of the armrests is authorized.
  • the connecting pieces 12 are made in three thicknesses 12a, 12b, 12c and the armrests also in three thicknesses 11a, 11b, 11c.
  • An axis 13 then makes it possible to achieve the desired rotation while being concealed inside these thicknesses.
  • the armrests thus being housed inside the chassis when closing the trunk once closed no longer reveals any moving parts or any opening. It is thus easy to produce a good quality seal.
  • the furniture of the invention comprises feet 15 whose dimensions allow the nesting of several pieces of furniture on top of one another with a small footprint during their storage.
  • These feet 15 preferably have the same height as the chassis of the trunk when closed.
  • Their upper part is shaped so as to be able to guide and receive the lower part of the feet of another chest.
  • the furniture of the invention advantageously comprises cushions 17 integral with the backrest 2a and seat parts 2b and 4 and that in the closed position the connection of the cover 2a on the chassis 4 is sealed.
  • This provision is particularly interesting and clearly shows the advantages provided by the entire system.
  • outdoor seats, armchairs, lounge chairs, sun loungers, sun loungers can be made really comfortable since they are provided with upholstery, cushions, or mattresses. It is no longer necessary to return the cushions as soon as the rain threatens and to bring them out as soon as the sun appears.
  • a single gesture with one hand opens the seat of the invention and similarly a single movement of the foot allows these same cushions to be sheltered.
  • the cushion 17a carried by the backrest and the cushion 17b carried by the third panel 4 are fixed relative to their support during the closing or opening movements of the seat.
  • the third cushion 17c carried by the part of the seat 2b secured to the backrest is partially free to slide thereon. Indeed, during the closing movement, starting from the open position, an angle is formed between the seat parts 2b and 4; without particular provision, the closure would require exerting pressure on the backrest to obtain and maintain a complete closure of the trunk and would end up creating permanent deformations of the cushions 17b and 17c.
  • the cushion 17b being fixed relative to the part of the seat 4, the cushion 17c is integral by its upper surface on one side of the upper face of the cushion 17b more precisely by the edge 18 and behind the part of seat 2b. In the open position, a free space is provided under the cushion 17a carried by the file between the cushion 17c and the file 2a.
  • the cushions can be connected to the backrest or the seat by removable fasteners such as for example "VELCRO" fasteners which allows for example the use of cushions with removable covers and therefore washable.
