Definitions

  • the subject of the present invention is a seat, and more specially a salon seat with an envelope inside which are arranged non-compressible filling elements, such as polystyrene beads.
  • seats of this type in which the envelope which is, for example, made of a textile material or a material waterproof synthetic, has an interior volume greater than the volume of constituent balls of the filling elements. It is thus possible to move the balls inside the pocket, to allow different seat conformations, and in particular to adapt the seat to the shape of the body of the user, in a seated position.
  • seats of this type have an unpleasant aesthetic, insofar as there is a surplus envelope to allow the displacement of the polystyrene beads, and the seat remaining, when the user leaves it, in the position in which it was before the user got up.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a seat of this type, which is self-adaptable to the body shape of one or more users, and who automatically returns to an original position when the user gets up, to give the seat an excellent aesthetic, during not used.
  • the seat it concerns comprising an envelope inside which are arranged non-compressible filling elements, such as balls polystyrene, is characterized in that it comprises a lower wall and side walls made of rigid, semi-rigid and / or waterproof material, and an upper wall, at least part of which is made of a material elastic and permeable, the filling elements occupying the entire volume delimited by the lower, side and upper walls.
  • non-compressible filling elements such as balls polystyrene
  • the side walls In order to favor the lateral blocking of the elements of filling, the side walls have a return made in the same material, at the top wall.
  • the lower wall and / or the side walls are made of a sheet of flexible material, waterproof and inextensible.
  • the lower walls, side and top are joined together, for example by sewing, and form a pocket containing the filling elements.
  • the walls side consist of a belt, inside which is arranged at least one pocket containing the filling elements, of which the upper wall is made of elastic and permeable material.
  • the belt is constituted by a rigid panel.
  • the belt is constituted by a sausage in homogeneous material, such as rubber or foam synthetic material or by an inflatable tube.
  • Figure 1 shows a generally cylindrical pouffe having a bottom wall 2 constituted by a sheet of material waterproof and inextensible, extended by a side wall 3 made up in this same material, this side wall comprising a return peripheral 4 at the level of the upper wall.
  • the center of the wall upper is made of a sheet of elastic and permeable material.
  • the pouffe When the pouffe is in the non-use position, it has the shape shown in Figure 2.
  • a pressure F downwards, having tendency to form a hollow by displacement of the balls in the zones where less pressure is exerted.
  • the balls are blocked laterally by the side wall, taking into account the nature of the material from which it is made. Given the permeability of the upper wall 5, the air can escape into areas where there is less pressure, such as represented by arrows in figure 3, the balls being able to move in this area and form a folder for the user.
  • Figure 4 shows a second embodiment of a seat according to the invention, in which the outer wall 7 consists of a sausage independent of a pocket 8 containing elements of filling 9.
  • the flange 7 can be made of rubber or foam, or be filled with air, the main thing being that it blocks the elements filling to avoid any movement of these outwards when pressure is exerted on the pocket 8.
  • at least the upper wall 10 of the pocket 8 is made of a sheet of elastic and permeable material.
  • FIG. 5 represents a seat which constitutes a variant execution of the seat of FIG. 4, in which the same elements are designated by the same references as above.
  • central part of the seat is formed not by a pocket 8, but by three pockets 8.
  • the invention provides a great improvement to the existing technique by providing a seat for simple structure, which is self-adapting to the body shape of the users, and which returns to its original position, as soon as any pressure has ceased to be exerted on him.
