Abstract

The invention concerns outdoor seats, chairs, armchairs (1) or benches with a back portion (2) serving as protective cover when it is set in a substantially horizontal position. In said configuration, water trickling from the outer surface of the back portion (2) and from its edges is stopped by a profile (4) preventing the drops from trickling inwards. The inventive chairs are particularly designed for outdoor use where they are subjected to bad weather conditions.

Description

CHAISE A DOSSIER DE PROTECTION COMPORTANT UN PROFIL STOPPANT IiΕ RUISSELLEMENT PROTECTIVE BACK CHAIR COMPRISING A STOPPING PROFILE
L'invention s'applique en particulier aux sièges, chaises, fauteuils, bancs d'extérieurs.The invention applies in particular to seats, chairs, armchairs, outdoor benches.
Les chaises d'extérieur ne possèdent traditionnellement pas de protection propre à la pluie et aux salissures. L'état de la technique permet de connaître : - Brevet E-uropéen N° EP 95/902813.5 publié sous le N° 0731 657 (FANTINO) : "Siège dont le dossier articulé fait office de couverture de protection pour l'assise lorsqu'il est rabattu." Ce dossier, pour autant qu'il protège l'assise de la pluie en la recouvrant lorsqu'on le bascule sur celle- ci, ne possède pas de profil intérieur.Outdoor chairs have traditionally not had their own protection against rain and dirt. The state of the art makes it possible to know: - European patent N ° EP 95 / 902813.5 published under N ° 0731 657 (FANTINO): "Seat whose articulated backrest acts as a protective cover for the seat when he is turned down. " This backrest, insofar as it protects the seat from the rain by covering it when it is tipped over, does not have an interior profile.
Il pourra comporter d'éventuelles "Joues latérales sensiblement verticales" qui constituent, dans ce cas particulier, une forme spécifique de dossier. En temps de jpluie, l'écoulement de l'eau venant de la face extérieure du dossier, qui est en position relativement horizontale, vas atteindre les rebords de celui-ci et se transmettre partiellement par ruissellement sur sa face intérieure. Le problème est similaire pour des chaises classiques dont le dossier non articulé serait plein et aurait une largeur plus importante que l'assise, ces chaises pouvant êtres basculées en avant par rapport à leurs pieds tout en prenant a_ppui par exemple sur une table avec le dossier. Hormis le fait que cette solution apporte une protection inférieure au siège à dossier de protection articulé due à une plus grande vulnérabilité de l'assise aux intempéries j&t qu'il est plus difficile d'obtenir une position relativement horizontale du dossier, cette disposition ne permet pas d'éviter le ruissellement de l'eau sur la face intérieure de celui-ci. Dans le cas d'un fauteuil, la présence d'accoudoirs rajoute le problème supplémentaire du ruissellement de l'eau sur la face ou l'on pose les bras, lorsque lesdits accoudoirs sont en position de protection c'est à dire sensiblement verticaux.It may include any "substantially vertical side cheeks" which constitute, in this particular case, a specific form of backrest. In time of rain, the flow of water coming from the external face of the backrest, which is in a relatively horizontal position, will reach the edges of the latter and be transmitted partially by trickling on its internal face. The problem is similar for conventional chairs whose non-articulated back would be full and have a greater width than the seat, these chairs can be tilted forward relative to their feet while taking a support for example on a table with the back . Apart from the fact that this solution provides lower protection to the seat with articulated protection backrest due to a greater vulnerability of the seat to the weather j & t it is more difficult to obtain a relatively horizontal position of the backrest, this arrangement does not allow not to avoid runoff from water on the inside of it. In the case of an armchair, the presence of armrests adds the additional problem of water runoff on the face where the arms are placed, when said armrests are in the protective position, that is to say substantially vertical.
La chaise selon l'invention, permet de remédier à ces problèmes. En effet, le siège, chaise, fauteuil ou banc étant du type à dossier plein, articulé ou pas, faisant office de couverture de protection pour l'assise, de par ses dimensions et lorsqu'il est en position relativement horizontale, est caractérisé par le fait que ledit dossier comporte sur tout ou partie du pourtour de sa face intérieure un profil de rupture d'écoulement permettant de stopper le ruissellement des gouttes d'eau venant de la face extérieure et des rebords. Le profil empêchant le passage des gouttes du fait de la discontinuité de la face ou elles ruissellent, celles-ci sont condamnées à la chute et l'on obtient ainsi une protection totale à la pluie.The chair according to the invention overcomes these problems. Indeed, the seat, chair, armchair or bench being of the full back type, articulated or not, acting as a protective cover for the seat, by its dimensions and when it is in a relatively horizontal position, is characterized by the fact that said backrest comprises on all or part of the periphery of its inner face a flow rupture profile making it possible to stop the runoff of drops of water coming from the outer face and from the edges. The profile preventing the passage of drops due to the discontinuity of the face where they run, they are condemned to fall and thus obtaining total protection against rain.
Selon des modes de réalisation particuliers :According to particular embodiments:
Le profil est constitué par une arête accolée à une rainure .The profile consists of an edge adjoining a groove.
Le profil est constitué par une rainure. - Le profil est constitué par une arête saillante. Le profil peut s'intégrer sur les bords des accoudoirs d'un fauteuil. - Un même profil peut varier d'une forme à une autre selon les types : arête accolée à une rainure, rainure ou arête saillante.The profile consists of a groove. - The profile consists of a projecting edge. The profile can be integrated on the edges of the armrests of an armchair. - The same profile can vary from one form to another depending on the types: edge joined to a groove, groove or projecting edge.
