Definitions

  • the present invention refers to a structure for the formation of rows of seats, and to a seat formed with this structure.
  • the structure object of patent no. 8903161 is formed of a tubular longitudinal beam of rectangular cross-section, to two of whose larger opposing sides are fixed the seat itself and the backrest, formed by two pieces, preferably of a dish-like metal sheeting, provided with respective flat and inclined faces destined to be juxtaposed upon the corresponding faces of the longitudinal beam, to which they are attached by bolts.
  • the longitudinal beam itself incorporates panels which constitute little tables.
  • the longitudinal beam of the structure is supported by legs provided with a clamp fixed around the longitudinal beam.
  • the longitudinal beam includes exterior ribs and depressions, while the pieces which constitute the seats and the backrests are provided on the faces which are juxtaposed to those of the longitudinal beam with shoulders whose contour corresponds to that of the ribs of the longitudinal beam, so that they can be coupled to the same in the fitting position.
  • the tubular longitudinal beam includes two flat sides which form a solid angle with each other, on which are juxtaposed the flat faces of the pieces which make up the seats and the backrests, which longitudinal beam presents a third rear face of dished profile, flanked by longitudinal depressions and ribs, into which are coupled the shoulders of the pieces which constitute the seats and backrests.
  • the panels which make up the little tables are joined to a bracket and assembly piece on the longitudinal beam, which piece includes, at least, a rigid wing which projects from below with respect to the panel, provided with fastening means to one of the sides of the longitudinal beam.
  • the rigid wing is provided with a shoulder which has a profile corresponding with the ribs of the longitudinal beam, for coupling thereof to one of them in the assembly position.
  • the projecting wing of the support piece of the panels which make up the little tables presents some orifices, the positions of which coincide with those of the orifices with which the faces of the seats and backrests are provided, and which in turn coincide with other orifices throughout the length of one of the faces of the longitudinal beam, to permit the passage of fastening bolts for the seats and little tables.
  • the longitudinal beam is provided with spaced-apart openings into which there slot one of the semi-clamps which make up the securing clamp of each of the legs which support the longitudinal beam, opposite which openings the longitudinal beam is fitted with an internal partition provided with an orifice facing another orifice on the opposite side of the longitudinal beam itself. These orifices allow for the passage of the union bolt of the two semi-clamps.
  • One of the semi-clamps presents the face for coupling to the longitudinal beam with a profile complementary to that of the dished face of the longitudinal beam and to its ribs and depressions.
  • the semi-clamps are juxtaposed to each other by two complementary faces, one of them presenting a prolongation in the form of a tail, to which is fitted a third piece with means of guidance with respect to that prolongation, fitted with bolts accessible from the exterior in order to achieve expansion or approximation of this piece with respect to the prolongation of the semi-clamp.
  • the third piece and the tail of one of the semi-clamps are housed in the upper end of the tubular leg in which is fitted the clamp for securement to the longitudinal beam.
  • figure 1 is a perspective view exploded diagram of a row of seats provided with the structure described;
  • figure 2 is a perspective view exploded diagram of one of the union clamps of the longitudinal beam;
  • figure 3 is a cross-section view of one of the clamps incorporated into the corresponding leg and fixed around the longitudinal beam;
  • figure 4 is a similar view showing the union of a seat and a backrest to the longitudinal beam;
  • figure 5 is a cross-section view of a little table fixed to the longitudinal beam;
  • figure 6 is a perspective view of an assembled row of seats.
  • the structure object of the present patent comprises a longitudinal beam of general reference -1- which has a cross-section shaped approximately like a sector of a circle, with two flat sides -2- and -3- which form an angle between them with a rounded edge -4-, and a third rear side -5-, dished, throughout the length of which and near its edges the longitudinal beam presents two longitudinal ribs -6- and near them corresponding longitudinal depressions -7- limiting the dished part -5- of this rear face of the profile.
  • the interior of the profile is reinforced by a transversal partition -8- near the edge -4-, provided with spaced orifices -9-.
  • each pair constitutes a clamp destined to be secured to the longitudinal beam -1- by means of a transversal bolt -14- which joins them and passes through the longitudinal beam -1- via orifices -15- aligned with respect to orifices -9- provided for this purpose (figure 3).
  • the semi-clamps -12- and -13- present juxtaposed inclined surfaces -16- and -17-, with aligned orifices -18- for the fastening of an optional bolt -18a-.
  • Semi-clamp -13- presents an internal profile complementary to the profile of the dished face -5- and the depressions -7- of the longitudinal beam -1-, for perfect coupling to the same.
  • the semi-clamp -12- has a prolongation in the form of a tail -12a-, to which a piece -19- is juxtaposed.
  • the tail -12a- and the piece -19- have complementary orifice -20- and pin -21- sets, which centre and guide the positions of both.
  • the piece -19- is provided with two bolts -22-, threaded into orifices -22a-, which press against the tail of the semi-clamp -12-.
  • the assembly formed by the tail -12a- and the piece -19- is destined to be housed in the upper end of tubular columns -23- provided with feet -24- or -25-. These columns with their respective feet constitute the support legs for the longitudinal beam -1- by means of the semi-clamps -12- and -13-, coupled to each other around the same, as illustrated in figure 3 of the drawings.
  • the piece -19- moves away from or closer to the tail -12a-, thus fixing or releasing the clamp assembly in relation to the end of the tubular column -23-.
  • the seats -26- To the faces -2- of the longitudinal beam -1- are anchored the seats -26-, provided with a rear surface -27- finished with an arched shoulder -28- for fitting around the corresponding rib -6-.
  • the fastening of the seats -26- is carried out by means of bolts -29- which pass through orifices -30- provided in the surface -27-, and the orifices -11- of the longitudinal beam -1- (figure 4).
  • the bolts themselves -29- fix to backrests -31-, paired up with the seats -26-, in a similar way to the latter, with a lower surface -32- with orifices -32a- aligned with orifices -11- and -30-.
  • the lower surface -32- is finished with an arched shoulder -33- which fits around the corresponding rib -6-.
  • the structure also comprises some little tables -34- fitted with a lower bracket -35-, with an inclined wing or surface -36-, provided with orifices -37- which can be aligned with orifices -11- of the longitudinal beam -1-, for passage of the fastening bolts -38- -figure 5-.
  • the inclined surface -36- presents a shoulder -36a- which may be adapted around one of the ribs -6- of the profile -1-.
  • the orifices -37- of the surface -36- of the bracket -35- have the same layout as the orifices -30- and -32a- of the surfaces -27- and -32- of the seats -26- and backrests -31-, so that it is possible to assemble a little table in the place of a seat and backrest.
  • the structure is completed by some arms or side endings -39-, with means for fixing of same to the ends of the longitudinal beam -1-.
