Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a covering structure for seats, in particular for seats of public transport vehicles, capable of withstanding lacerations.
  • the invention also relates to a method of manufacturing such structures.
  • the element opposing the action of a sharp object consists of a sheet of helical springs, partially embedded in an elastomer foam, itself adhering to a layer of '' a compact elastomer.
  • the coil springs only have satisfactory flexibility in one direction.
  • the need to partially drown the sheet of springs in a relatively thick layer of elastomer makes this packing of a rather complex manufacture and therefore relatively expensive.
  • a knitting of metal wires interposed between two layers of a flexible material is proposed, for the same purpose, a knitting of metal wires interposed between two layers of a flexible material.
  • the knitting of metallic threads has the advantage of having good flexibility in all directions, on the other hand, the shape of the stitches prohibits the use of metallic threads of a diameter sufficient to resist effectively to severe laceration.
  • the present invention aims to provide a covering structure for seats, which overcomes the drawbacks mentioned above.
  • the invention aims to propose a covering structure for a seat which is effectively opposed to laceration acts, which is flexible in any direction and which can be manufactured by simple methods, at a reduced cost, compared to the linings. of the prior art.
  • the subject of the present invention is a covering structure for a seat, capable of resisting lacerations, of the type comprising a sheet of flexible material lined with a reinforcing reinforcement, characterized in that the reinforcing reinforcement is made up of bands or wires spaced from each other, made of a material capable of opposing the passage of a cutting object, each band or wire having a sinuous profile made up of curved patterns and / or of patterns comprising rectilinear segments repeating regularly, the analogous patterns of the different bands or wires being arranged so as to juxtapose or overlap in corresponding positions such that each band or wire is spaced from the adjacent bands or wires by an interval imposing on a sharp object drawn along a rectilinear path necessarily meeting in any direction a band or a wire on its path, said bands or wires being either independent the u ns of the others, or joined transversely by spacers integral with these bands or wires, and being integral with the sheet of flexible material by means of at least one layer of adhesive or
  • the corresponding parts of the contiguous bands or wires can advantageously be spaced apart by a constant distance.
  • a sheet of decorative covering (tapestry, textile, leather, etc.) can be made integral with the face of the layer of adhesive or plastic material of which the sheet of flexible material is not integral.
  • a sheet of a decorative coating can be substituted for the sheet of flexible material and serve, in place of the latter, as a support for the strips or wires.
  • the important characteristic of the strips or threads of the sheet according to the invention is that they do not overlap or intertwine, or that they are joined together by auxiliary members in the manner of a mesh, a fabric or of a knitting. After having been preformed to the desired profile, they can therefore be simply applied in parallel to one face of the flexible sheet previously coated with an adhesive or a resin which is then polymerized, either strip by strip or thread by thread, when the strips or the wires are independent of one another, either in the form of a single framework, when the strips or the wires are joined transversely to each other, for example by spacers forming an integral part with them.
  • the invention therefore also relates to a method of manufacturing a covering structure for a seat capable of resisting lacerations, this method being characterized in that a first layer of an adhesive or a suitable resin is applied. to be polymerized on one face of a sheet of flexible material, in that strips or wires spaced apart from each other are then applied to this same face in a material capable of opposing the passage of a cutting object, each strip or wire having a sinuous profile consisting of curved patterns and / or of patterns comprising rectilinear segments repeating regularly, the different bands or wires being arranged on the sheet of flexible material so that the similar patterns of the different bands or wires juxtapose or overlap in positions such that each band or wire is spaced from the adjacent bands or wires by an interval imposing on a sharp object driven in a movement rectilinear to necessarily meet in any direction a strip or wire in its path, in that a second layer of adhesive or resin capable of polymerizing is then applied to the strips or son, and in that the adhesive is allowed to harden or
  • the strips or threads can be applied to the flexible sheet either independently of each other, or in the form of a single framework, depending on whether they are independent or joined transversely by spacers integral with them .
  • the strips or wires must naturally have sufficient flexibility to allow the covering element thus produced to deform freely.
  • the covering structure will be in the form of a sheet, which, advantageously can be rolled up on itself for storage before use.
  • the bands or wires can be made of metal and / or plastic, possibly reinforced.
  • the bands or wires are integral with each other, they form a one-piece frame, which can thus be manufactured to the dimensions of the part of the seat to be fitted with the covering structure, without loss of material due to updates. subsequent dimensions.
  • This will be in particular the case of covering structures comprising bands adjoining them by spacers, which will constitute a framework that can be cut with the press in a single operation to the desired dimensions and whose peripheral edges, not cut, form a relatively framed rigid, facilitating the implementation of the invention.
  • the coating structure thus produced constitutes a preferred embodiment of the invention.
  • Such a structure, in which the strip or the wires form a one-piece structure, can in addition alone constitute a seat element, for example a seat back, which can be easily fixed to the frame of the seat.
  • Another important advantage of such a monobloc structure lies in the fact that, if a strip breaks, it does not tend to protrude outside the lining. On the contrary, due to the flat shape of the strips, if one of them accidentally breaks, it remains inside the lining, where it is held in place by the other elements of the lining (layer elastomer and decorative fabric, for example). The laceration resistance of the lining is therefore not affected by the rupture of one or more bands of the reinforcing structure.
  • the frame consists of independent strips cut in an adjoining position in a sheet of a material resistant to laceration, in particular in a metal sheet.
  • a material resistant to laceration in particular in a metal sheet.
  • This may be of any suitable material: fabric, nonwoven, felt, canvas, plastic film or even tapestry intended to form the external face of the seat element, as indicated above.
  • Adhesives based on silicone may advantageously be used to secure the flexible sheet and the strips or wires.
  • two layers of adhesive will be used, a first layer applied directly to the flexible sheet, on which the strips or threads will be placed, and a second layer on these strips or threads, so as to completely coat them, to better secure the different components and protect the tapes or wires.
  • wires with circular cross section their diameter may be between 0.6 and 1.2 mm, and approximately 100 wires may be available per meter of ply, in a direction transverse to the general direction of the wires.
  • the strips 1 of laceration-resistant material consist of a succession, alternately, of rectilinear segments 2, of equal width and parallel to each other, and of rectilinear segments 3, also of equal width between them and inclined by 135 ° with respect to the previous ones.
  • the segments 2 and 3 thus form successive inverted trapezoidal profiles, the assembly being able to be considered as an approximate sinusoidal profile made up of rectilinear portions.
  • the segments 2 and 3 of the different bands are parallel to their counterparts in the other bands, so that the different profiles trapezoidal are nested at a constant distance from each other, so as to be able to oppose in any direction a cutting tool moved along a straight path and thus avoid a deep laceration of the coating ply.
  • the different strips 1 are independent of each other, that is to say that they are not joined transversely by auxiliary members to form grid, knitted or fabric structures, and they do not are not joined by spacers integral with them.
  • they are simply applied to a flexible sheet 4, of fabric for example, previously coated with a first layer 5 of adhesive, and they are then preferably covered with a second layer of adhesive, joining them in a simple and effective way with the fabric 4 and to which a sheet 20 of a tapestry can be applied, intended to form the external face of the seat element to be fitted with this covering structure.
  • the sheet 20 of tapestry or the like can optionally replace the flexible sheet 4 and serve directly as a support for the strips 1.
  • the straight segments 2 of a strip may have a length l of about 10 mm, and be separated from the parallel segments 2 of the same strip by a constant interval x of 5 mm.
  • the distance y from the segments of a strip to the corresponding and parallel segments of a contiguous strip will be 5 mm.
  • each strip 7 again consists of rectilinear segments 8, parallel to each other and of equal width, and of segments 9, also of equal width between them, inclined by 135 ° compared to the previous ones.
  • Each strip comprises in this case, successively, two segments 8 parallel to each other, which alternate with two segments 9 parallel to each other and inclined by 135 ° with respect to the previous ones.
  • the strips 7 have a cumulative length (addition of the lengths of the segments 8 and 9) greater than that of the strips 1 in FIG. 1 and they therefore have greater flexibility.
  • the lengths 1 and the distances x and y may have the same values as in the embodiment of Figure 1, that is to say, respectively, 10 mm, 10 mm and 5 mm.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 can naturally be replaced by wires 10 of circular or oval cross-section, for example drawing approximate sinusoidal profiles, as shown in FIG. 5.
  • the strips are however preferred because, as explained above and as shown in FIG. 4, they can be easily cut from the same strip unwound from a reel, the contiguous strips remaining joined at the ends of the strip. by uncut parts 12, as well as by lateral fasteners 13, in regularly spaced locations between the ends, which allows rewinding of the cut strip and easily store it in the form of a reel.
  • the fasteners 12 and 13 can optionally be eliminated before positioning the strips on a sheet of flexible material and making them integral.
  • the bands shown in Figures 1 to 4 have a constant width along their entire length, but they can also have variable widths, as seen in Figure 6, where the band 21 is made up of straight segments 21a and 21b of widths different.
  • the strips of the structure according to the invention can be applied independently of each other on the flexible sheet with which they are made integral, but they can also constitute a monobloc framework, cut with the press in a plate with the dimensions of the seat element, thus minimizing the falls and the losses of raw material. This is illustrated by Figures 7 to 10.
  • the strips 24 have a crenellated profile, consisting of rectilinear segments perpendicular to each other, juxtaposed in contiguous position so as to oppose the passage of a blade .
  • the strips 24 are cut from the same rectangular plate having the dimensions of the seat element to be fitted and the ends adjoin two non-cut parallel edges 25 of the plate.
  • the strips 27 are also cut with the press from a plate 28 and are separated by cutouts 29 of crenellated profile similar to the profile of the strips 24 of FIG. 8.
  • the ends of the strips 27 are adjoining two parallel edges 28a of the plate 28.
  • the different strips adjoin each other by transverse spacers 30, which interrupt the cutouts 29 at regular intervals.
  • strips 32 are cut from a plate 33 and adjoined by their ends to two opposite edges 33a of this plate.
  • the bands 32 are separated by intervals 34 of shape similar to the profile of the bands of FIG. 1 and they are joined at regular intervals to the bands contiguous by transverse spacers 35, which interrupt the intervals 34.
  • the invention therefore provides a simple and effective means for protecting seats, in particular seats for public places, and in particular for public transport.
