Abstract
Description
L'invention concerne un nouveau meuble de repos.The invention relates to a new rest unit.
Dans la description et dans les revendications par "meuble de repos" on désigne tout meuble comportant une assise et un dossier, ou analogues, destiné au repos tel que chaise, fauteil, siège, lit, bain de soleil.In the description and in the claims by "rest unit" is meant any piece of furniture comprising a seat and a backrest, or the like, intended for rest such as chair, armchair, seat, bed, sunbathing.
On connait de nombreuses solutions pour que le dossier et l'assise soient réglables et inclinables l'un par rapport à l'autre. Pour ce faire on fait généralement appel à des articulations mécaniques assez complexes donc coûteuses à réaliser. En outre, à l'usage ces articulations se bloquent, se rouillent et même se cassent. Par ailleurs ces articulations mécaniques compliquent sérieusement l'habillage du dossier et de l'assise lorsque ceux-ci sont constitués par un cadre ridige habillé d'un fourreau.Many solutions are known for the backrest and the seat to be adjustable and tiltable with respect to one another. To do this, use is generally made of fairly complex mechanical joints which are therefore costly to produce. In addition, in use these joints become blocked, rust and even break. Furthermore, these mechanical joints seriously complicate the dressing of the backrest and the seat when these are constituted by a ridiculous frame dressed with a sheath.
L'invention pallie ces inconvénients. Elle vise un meuble du type en question qui soit facile et économique à réaliser, résiste bien dans le temps et dans lequel l'inclinaison du dossier par rapport à l'assise soit commode et stable.The invention overcomes these drawbacks. It aims at a piece of furniture of the type in question which is easy and economical to produce, resists well over time and in which the inclination of the backrest relative to the seat is comfortable and stable.
Selon l'invention le meuble de repos tel que chaise, siège, lit, du type comprenant un dossier et une assise, délimités chacun par un cadre rigide, et dans lequel le cadre de l'assise est fixé et articulé dans un chassis support rigide formant pied, se caractérise :
- d'une part, en ce que les cadres rigides définissant le dossier et l'assise sont délimités par des tubes qui sont disposés face à face, de manière à ce que les extrémités libres desdits tubes soient en regard ;
- d'autre part, en ce que lesdites extrémités libres en regard des tubes sont raccordées entre elles deux à deux par un manchon élastique ;
- et enfin, en ce que les tubes latéraux délimitant le cadre du dossier présentent des moyens de positionnement sur le chassis, de manière à ce que le dossier soit incliné par rapport à l'assise.According to the invention the rest furniture such as chair, seat, bed, of the type comprising a backrest and a seat, each delimited by a rigid frame, and in which the seat frame is fixed and articulated in a rigid support frame forming a foot, is characterized:
- On the one hand, in that the rigid frames defining the backrest and the seat are delimited by tubes which are arranged face to face, so that the free ends of said tubes are opposite;
- on the other hand, in that said free ends opposite the tubes are connected together in pairs by an elastic sleeve;
- And finally, in that the lateral tubes delimiting the frame of the backrest have positioning means on the chassis, so that the backrest is inclined relative to the seat.
En d'autres termes l'invention consiste à délimiter les bords des cadres du dossier et de l'assise avec des tubes ouverts, puis à relier les extrémités ouvertes en regard de ces tubes par une liaison souple élastique mais solide, et enfin à positionner le cadre du dossier sur le chassis support.In other words, the invention consists in delimiting the edges of the back and seat frames with open tubes, then connecting the open ends opposite these tubes by a flexible elastic but solid connection, and finally in positioning the back frame on the support frame.
Avantageusement en pratique, de manière connue le dossier et l'assise se présentent sous la forme d'un fourreau en matière textile tendu sur un cadre ridige tubulaire, en forme de U, ledit fourreau étant fermé sur un côté par une fermeture à glissière ; avantageusement ce fourreau est constitué par un fil enduit résistant aux conditions d'exposition à l'extérieur, tricoté selon une armure stable ;
- le manchon élastique caractéristique de raccordement est constitué par un tube en élastomère, renforcé par une armature textile, de préférence cylindrique, plein, voire creux, dont les extrémités sont emmanchées dans chacune des extrémités ouvertes des tubes en regard de chaque cadre, dans lesquelles elles sont verrouillées par une vis ou tout organe approprié ;
- le meuble est un siège ou une chaise et le chassis support, d'une part présente dans sa partie inférieure un pied articulé sur ce chassis pour former un compas de manière à réaliser un piètement, et d'autre part se prolonge sur sa partie supérieure pour entourer le cadre rigide du dossier, le cadre de l'assise étant articulé autour du chassis sur l'axe d'articulation de celui-ci avec le pied compas, alors que les branches latérales du cadre du dossier comportent un ergot de positionnement dirigé vers l'extérieur, destiné à coopérer avec une gâche disposée sur la face interne des branches latérales du haut du chassis, de manière à positionner le cadre dossier par rapport au chassis ; dans une première forme de réalisation l'ergot est fixe et la gâche présente une pluralité de positions destinées à coopérer avec ledit ergot ; dans une autre forme de réalisation la gâche est unique et l'ergot peut coulisser le long d'une crémaillère fixée sur la face externe des branches latérales du cadre dossier ;
- l'axe d'articulation du cadre assise sur le chassis est symétrique de l'ergot de positionnement du cadre dossier par rapport au raccord élastique ;
- le pied compas arrière est articulé sur le chassis au moyen d'une chappe.Advantageously in practice, in a known manner, the backrest and the seat are in the form of a sheath of textile material stretched over a tubular ridge frame, U-shaped, said sheath being closed on one side by a zipper; advantageously this sheath is constituted by a coated wire resistant to the conditions of exposure to the outside, knitted according to a stable weave;
- The characteristic elastic connection sleeve is constituted by an elastomer tube, reinforced by a textile reinforcement, preferably cylindrical, full, even hollow, the ends of which are fitted into each of the open ends of the tubes opposite each frame, in which they are locked by a screw or any suitable member;
- the piece of furniture is a seat or a chair and the support frame, on the one hand has in its lower part a foot articulated on this frame to form a compass so as to make a base, and on the other hand extends over its part upper to surround the rigid frame of the backrest, the seat frame being articulated around the chassis on the articulation axis of the latter with the compass foot, while the lateral branches of the backrest frame include a positioning lug directed outwards, intended to cooperate with a keeper disposed on the internal face of the lateral branches of the top of the chassis, so as to position the back frame with respect to the chassis; in a first embodiment, the lug is fixed and the keeper has a plurality of positions intended to cooperate with said lug; in another embodiment the keeper is unique and the lug can slide along a rack fixed on the external face of the lateral branches of the back frame;
- the hinge axis of the frame seated on the chassis is symmetrical with the lug for positioning the back frame with respect to the elastic connection;
- the rear compass foot is articulated on the chassis by means of a clevis.
Dans une autre forme d'exécution le meuble est un lit et le chassis support à la forme d'un cintre en U dont les extrémités des deux branches reposent sur le sol ; le cadre assise est articulé autour d'une branche de ce cintre alors que le cadre dossier forme têtière vient se positionner sur l'autre branche. En pratique la face arrière du cadre dossier présente une entretoise articulée à ses deux extrémités sur un bras lui même articulé sur chaque branche latérale du cadre dossier, ladite entretoise étant destinée à coopérer avec des butées fixées sur la branche arrière du cintre de manière à régler l'inclinaison du dossier par rapport à l'assise ; avantageusement la face interne de ces butées est concave de manière à bien coopérer avec l'entretoise de forme tubulaire.In another embodiment the piece of furniture is a bed and the support frame has the shape of a U-shaped hanger whose ends of the two branches rest on the ground; the seat frame is articulated around a branch of this hanger while the backrest frame frame is positioned on the other branch. In practice, the rear face of the backrest frame has a spacer articulated at its two ends on an arm itself articulated on each lateral branch of the backrest frame, said spacer being intended to cooperate with stops fixed on the rear branch of the hanger so as to adjust the inclination of the backrest relative to the seat; advantageously the internal face of these stops is concave so as to cooperate well with the spacer of tubular shape.
Dans une autre forme d'exécution non représentée, les cadres de l'assise et du dossier sont pleins et rigides (bois, métal, plastique..) et sont bordés par des tubes dont les extrémités ouvertes en regard se comportent comme celles des cadres tubulaires en U.In another embodiment, not shown, the frames of the seat and of the backrest are solid and rigid (wood, metal, plastic, etc.) and are bordered by tubes, the open ends of which look like those of the frames. U-shaped tubulars.
L'expression "les extrémités ouvertes des tubes sont disposées en regard" couvre également une réalisation dans laquelle les dites extrémités seraient légèrement décalées, par exemple de l'ordre d'un diamètre, et dans laquelle on jouerait sur l'élasticité du manchon caractéristique.The expression "the open ends of the tubes are arranged opposite" also covers an embodiment in which said ends are slightly offset, for example of the order of a diameter, and in which we play on the elasticity of the characteristic sleeve .

Dans une première forme d'exécution montrée aux figures 1 à 6, l'invention concerne une chaise notamment pour l'extérieur. Cette chaise désignée par la référence générale (1) comprend tout d'abord un chassis tubulaire (2) de forme générale rectangulaire légèrement incurvé en son milieu (3) (angle voisin de 150°). Un pied (4) également tubulaire et en forme de U est relié par une chappe (5) pour être articulé en (3) sur le chassis (2) de manière à réaliser un piétement en forme de compas, dans lequel le piétement avant (6) est fixe et le piétement arrière (4) repliable. La chaise comporte également deux cadres rigides tubulaires en forme de U respectivement (8) et (9) formant le dossier (8) et l'assise (9). Selon une première caractéristique de l'invention ces deux cadres rigides (8), (9) délimitant le dossier et l'assise ont une forme générale en U disposés face à face de manière à ce que les extrémités libres (11-12) des branches du dossier (8) soient en regard des extrémités (13-14) des branches de l'assise (9).In a first embodiment shown in Figures 1 to 6, the invention relates to a chair in particular for the exterior. This chair designated by the general reference (1) firstly comprises a tubular frame (2) of generally rectangular shape slightly curved in the middle (3) (close to 150 ° angle). A foot (4) also tubular and U-shaped is connected by a clevis (5) to be articulated in (3) on the frame (2) so as to produce a base in the form of a compass, in which the front base (6) is fixed and the rear base (4) foldable. The chair also comprises two rigid tubular U-shaped frames respectively (8) and (9) forming the backrest (8) and the seat (9). According to a first characteristic of the invention, these two rigid frames (8), (9) delimiting the backrest and the seat have a general U-shape arranged face to face so that the free ends (11-12) of the back legs (8) are opposite the ends (13-14) of the seat legs (9).
Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention lesdites extrémités (11-14) libres en regard sont raccordées entre elles deux à deux (11, 13 ; 12, 14) par un manchon élastique respectivement (15, 16) montré en détail à la figure 4. Ce manchon élastique peut être un cylindre de caoutchouc renforcé par de la matière textile emmanché de force dans les extrémités tubulaires (11-14) et verrouillé en place par des vis symbolisées (17, 18). Ce manchon caractéristique (15-16) est avantageusement un cylindre, plein ou creux, en élastomère (PVC) souple. Il importe que ce manchon soit mécaniquement résistant et revienne facilement et sans déformation à sa position initiale. Ce peut être également un ressort hélicoïdal.According to another characteristic of the invention, said free ends (11-14) facing each other are connected together in pairs (11, 13; 12, 14) by an elastic sleeve respectively (15, 16) shown in detail in the figure. 4. This elastic sleeve can be a rubber cylinder reinforced with textile material force fitted into the tubular ends (11-14) and locked in place by symbolized screws (17, 18). This characteristic sleeve (15-16) is advantageously a cylinder, full or hollow, made of flexible elastomer (PVC). It is important that this sleeve is mechanically resistant and returns easily and without deformation to its initial position. It can also be a helical spring.
Le chassis déformable formé par les cadres (8) et (9) est recouvert de manière connue d'un fourreau ouvert sur le côté par une fermeture à glissière non représentée réalisée en un fil résistant aux agents agressifs extérieurs tricotés selon une maille stable bien connue pour ce type d'application. On comprend que vu la forme générale rectangulaire et déformable de cet ensemble (8, 9) l'introduction du fourreau soit facilitée.The deformable chassis formed by the frames (8) and (9) is covered in a known manner with a sheath open on the side by a zipper not shown made of a wire resistant to external aggressive agents knitted according to a well known stable mesh for this type of application. It is understood that given the generally rectangular and deformable shape of this assembly (8, 9) the introduction of the sheath is facilitated.
Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, les deux branches latérales de l'assise (9) présentent en leur milieu, dirigées vers l'extérieur, des axes d'articulation respectivement (19), (20) destinés à venir se positionner en (3) sur l'axe d'articulation du piétement arrière (4) sur le chassis (2).According to another characteristic of the invention, the two lateral branches of the seat (9) have in their middle, directed outwards, hinge pins respectively (19), (20) intended to be positioned in (3) on the articulation axis of the rear base (4) on the chassis (2).
Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention les branches latérales du cadre dossier (8) présentent également en leur milieu des axes d'articulation (21, 22), symétriques de (19, 20) par rapport au manchon caractéristique élastique (15,16), destinés à venir coopérer avec des gâches (23, 24) prévues à cet effet sur le haut du chassis (2) (voir figure 5). Cette gâche (23) comporte de manière connue une fente d'introduction verticale (24) où s'engage l'ergot (21) raccordé à une fente horizontale (25) permettant de bloquer l'ergot (21) en position.According to another characteristic of the invention, the lateral branches of the backrest frame (8) also have in their center hinge axes (21, 22), symmetrical with (19, 20) with respect to the characteristic elastic sleeve (15,16 ), intended to come to cooperate with strikes (23, 24) provided for this purpose on the top of the chassis (2) (see Figure 5). This keeper (23) comprises in a known manner a vertical insertion slot (24) which engages the lug (21) connected to a horizontal slot (25) making it possible to block the lug (21) in position.
Dans une variante non représentée, l'ergot (21) peut coulisser sur la branche du cadre (8) le long d'une crémaillère. Cela permet ainsi de modifier l'inclinaison (8) du dossier par rapport à l'assise (9).In a variant not shown, the lug (21) can slide on the branch of the frame (8) along a rack. This thus makes it possible to modify the inclination (8) of the backrest with respect to the seat (9).
Dans une autre forme d'exécution l'ergot (21) est fixe et unique et la gâche (23) est constituée par une pluralité de dents successives contre lesquelles vient s'appuyer et se loger l'ergot (21).In another embodiment, the lug (21) is fixed and unique and the keeper (23) consists of a plurality of successive teeth against which comes to bear and lodge the lug (21).
Lors du montage le pied arrière basculant formant compas (4) est articulé par la chappe (5) en (3) et le cadre rigide d'assise (9) est engagé par les axes externes d'articulation (19, 20) sur ce point d'articulation (3). Lors du transport ou du stockage, il suffit de replier le compas (4) contre le piétement avant (6) et de laisser libre le cadre général (8, 9).During assembly, the tilting rear foot forming a compass (4) is articulated by the clevis (5) at (3) and the rigid seat frame (9) is engaged by the external articulation axes (19, 20) on this articulation point (3). During transport or storage, it is sufficient to fold the compass (4) against the front base (6) and leave the general frame (8, 9) free.
Lorsque l'utilisateur veut mettre l'ensemble en position chaise il ouvre à l'instar du compas le piétement arrière (4) puis appuie sur le haut du cadre rigide (8) pour faire jouer les manchons de raccordement (15, 16) jusqu'à amener l'ergot (21) en face de la gâche appropriée (23) et de l'engager dans celle-ci. On a donc ainsi analysé une articulation souple, stable et commode.When the user wants to put the assembly in the chair position he opens, like the compass, the rear base (4) then presses on the top of the rigid frame (8) to play the connection sleeves (15, 16) until 'to bring the lug (21) opposite the appropriate keeper (23) and engage it therein. So we analyzed a flexible, stable and convenient joint.
Dans une autre forme de réalisation montrée aux figures 6 à 8, l'invention est appliquée à un lit de bain de soleil désigné par la référence générale (20). Celui-ci se compose de deux chassis en forme de U disposés face à face respectivement (21) formant dossier têtière et (22) formant chassis reliés entre eux par des manchons élastiques caractéristiques de l'invention respectivement (23, 24) analogues à (15, 16). Sur le cadre général (25) formé par (21, 22) on engage également un fourreau textile fermé sur le côté par une fermeture à glissière.In another embodiment shown in Figures 6 to 8, the invention is applied to a sun bed designated by the general reference (20). This consists of two U-shaped chassis arranged face to face respectively (21) forming a headrest and (22) forming a chassis connected together by elastic sleeves characteristic of the invention respectively (23, 24) similar to ( 15, 16). On the general frame (25) formed by (21, 22) also engages a textile sheath closed on the side by a zipper.
Pour des raisons de confort, l'extrémité (26) de l'assise (22) comporte un pied articulé (27) transversal.For reasons of comfort, the end (26) of the seat (22) comprises an articulated foot (27) transverse.
Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, le lit comporte un chassis (30) ayant la forme d'un cintre en U dont les deux extrémités (31, 32) reposent sur le sol pour former pied. Le cadre (22) est articulé respectivement en (33) et (34) sur la branche avant du cintre (30). La branche arrière (35) présente une pluralité de butées successives (36) dont la face avant (37) est concave. La face arrière du cadre dossier têtière (21) présente une entretoise (40) transversale, articulée à ses deux extrémités sur un bras respectivement (38, 39) lui même articulé sur la branche latérale du cadre (21).According to another characteristic of the invention, the bed comprises a frame (30) having the shape of a U-shaped hanger whose two ends (31, 32) rest on the ground to form a foot.
