Definitions
- the present invention relates to a foldable structure in the form of a seat comprising a central part intended to support the body of a user and two lateral support parts for the central part, in contact with the ground, arranged on either side of this central part and intended to keep said central part away from the ground, the lateral parts being connected to the central part by articulations, the lateral parts and the central part forming a single element, said element comprising adjacent rigid blades arranged orthogonally to the longitudinal median axis (L) of said structure and connected longitudinally to each other by a flexible connection, each blade comprising two upper articulations and two lower articulations so as to define the central part and the lateral parts of the structure, the articulations of each blade being arranged so as to define a shape, dimensions and a predetermined profile of the central part relative to the ground when the lateral parts are arranged substantially perpendicular to the ground and define two edges resting on the ground.
- the assembly is light and compact, but the seat is not very comfortable and, in the second case, the seat is comfortable, but the assembly is heavy and bulky.
- Other embodiments are notably known from the publications DE 40 37 974 and EP 0 220 998 as well as from US patent 5,445,435.
- Publication DE 40 37 974 relates to an armchair, the back of which is produced from adjacent vertical slats, linked so as to have a rounded shape.
- This armchair is not made in one piece and is composed of several independent elements from each other which are assembled.
- Publication EP 0 220 998 also relates to an armchair, the back and seat of which are made in one piece by folding and cutting from sheets or flat strips of the same flexible and hard material so that the whole, in its storage position, is in the form of a flat package of small thickness. The assembly obtained is then mounted on feet by means of screws.
- US Patent 5,445,435 describes a method of manufacturing seats with a limited use period, the different parts of which are produced by folding several sheets of corrugated cardboard and are then assembled. These seats must be attached to a support to keep their shape.
- the German utility model published under No. G 94 11 182.0 describes a foldable structure in the form of a comfortable and space-saving seat when folded.
- This seat is formed of blades glued on either side of a strip of flexible material.
- the upper layer of the blades is cut according to a first curve and the lower layer is cut according to a second curve different from the first.
- the vertical boards only serve as support for the horizontal boards. These horizontal blades must be rigid enough to support the mass of a user. Therefore, the entire seat is relatively heavy.
- cuts along two different curves must be made. The realization of these cutouts being relatively complex, the fact of having two different curves makes the manufacture of the structure more complex and expensive. Because of this cutting, the blades must be placed on either side of the flexible material. They cannot be placed in a fabric sheath. It is also essential that the upper half-blades are completely independent of the lower half-blades. This prevents the use of certain manufacturing methods in which the folding zones are obtained in a manner other than by cutting.
- the structure can only be used on one side. This limits its use in certain applications, in particular as an advertising medium. On the other hand, it is not possible, for example, to have different colors or patterns on each face.
- the present invention proposes to overcome these drawbacks by offering a particularly light structure and having a minimal bulk during its storage, while offering optimal comfort to the user.
- this structure is reversible so that it can have different aspects on each side. It can also be contained in a fabric covering for example.
- the two articulations of each blade are formed in the width of said blade and arranged symmetrically with respect to the median axis of the structure.
- the transverse joints of each blade are arranged so that their ends are in contact with the ends of the joints of the adjacent blades and comprise a straight articulation section of variable inclination relative to the longitudinal edge of the blade.
- articulation sections are symmetrical with respect to the median axis of the structure and the series of articulation sections formed by all the blades of the structure define two articulation curves symmetrical with respect to said axis.
- the value of the angle formed by each section with a transverse axis of the structure is substantially between 45 and 135 degrees.
- the shape of the articulation curves is determined as a function of the shape, the dimensions and the profile of the central part.
- the lateral support parts and the central part are arranged in the same plane and form a quadrilateral having at least two non-consecutive parallel sides and, in a second position of said articulations defining the position of use of the structure, the lateral support parts are parallel to each other and perpendicular to the ground and the central support part has the desired profile, the chamfers of the blades of the central part cooperating with the chamfers of the blades of the side parts, to form an angle of 90 ° between these different parts, acting as keys arch.
- the blades are made of a rigid material and the joints and flexible connections between each rigid blade are formed by lines obtained by deformation of the material and defining zones of least resistance.
- the blades are formed by two superimposed half-blades and the joints and the flexible connections between each blade are formed by a strip of flexible material disposed between the half-blades.
- the blades of the structure can also be housed in compartments formed in a flexible material cover, the joints and the flexible connections being, in this case, formed by the means for delimiting said compartments.
- FIG. 1 is a top view of the structure according to the present invention in the storage position
- FIG. 2 is a top view of the structure of FIG. 1 in the position of use
- FIG. 3 is a front view of the structure of FIG. 1, in the transport position
- FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the structure of FIG. 2,
- FIG. 5 is a perspective view of a detail of a first embodiment of the invention.
- FIG. 6 is a perspective view of a detail of a second embodiment of the invention.
- FIG. 7 is a sectional view of a third embodiment of a detail of the invention.
- the foldable structure according to the invention which is intended, in a first position called the position of use, to form a seat (FIGS. 2 and 4), and, in a second position called the storage position, to form a planar element (Figure 1), is composed of a central part 11 on which a user can extend and two lateral parts 12 symmetrical and intended to support the central part 11 when the structure is in the position of use.
- the lateral parts 12 are connected to the central part 11 by a series of articulations 13 which will be described in more detail below.
- the three parts of the foldable structure as well as the joints form a single element 10.
- This element is obtained by a succession of adjacent blades 15 substantially rigid arranged orthogonally to the longitudinal median axis L of the structure and connected to one other by their longitudinal edge by means of a flexible connection 16 described in more detail with reference to FIGS. 5 to 7.
- the blades are rectangular and of equal length so that the element 10 in the storage state is in the form of a rectangle.
- Each blade 15 further comprises two joints, a joint 13a and a joint 13b formed in the width of the blade and arranged symmetrically with respect to the median axis L of the structure.
- Each end of each articulation 13a, 13b is disposed in the immediate vicinity of one end of the articulations of the adjacent blades and defines between the central part and the lateral parts of each blade a rectilinear section of articulation of variable inclination relative to the longitudinal edge of the blade.
- This inclination of the articulation sections is variable from one blade to another and the series of adjacent rectilinear sections thus defines on each side of the axis L an articulation curve 20 between the central part 11 and each lateral part 12
- the two articulation curves 20 are symmetrical with respect to the axis L of the structure and they define the shape and the dimensions of the central part 11 as well as the profile of this central part when, in the position of use such that shown in Figure 4, the side portions 12 are folded so as to form curved edges 14 in contact with the ground and arranged substantially parallel to each other, the length of the side portions of the blades determining the height at which the central portion is located report to the ground.
- the articulation curves 20 are produced on the two faces of the structure. The curves of each face are superimposed so that the structure is reversible.
- edges of all the blades 15, on the side of the flexible connection 16 and of the joints 13a and 13b, are chamfered at an angle of approximately 45 °.
- the function of the chamfer thus obtained will be explained in more detail below.
- the shape of the central part 11 is substantially that of an amphora and the articulation curves 20 which define it are constituted by rectilinear sections which form, with a transverse axis T of the structure, a angle whose value is substantially between 45 and 135 degrees.
- the upper zone of the central part 11 intended to support the head is narrower than the lower part intended to support the feet and raised relative to the latter since, the blades being of equal length, the wider the central part of the blade, the shorter the side parts.
- the element 10 forming the foldable structure has an isosceles trapezoid shape whose large base will be located on the side of the part that we want be the highest above the ground.
- the intermediate zone of the central part is wider and has, in the position of use, a curved profile in order to resist the weight of the user and to guarantee the stability of the seat by this weight.
- the structure In the folded state, that is to say in the position of use, the structure assumes a scalloped shape composed of nested three-way arches.
- the chamfers of the ends of the blades of the central part 11 rest on the chamfers of the blades of the side parts 12 to define, between said parts, an angle of 90 ° and act in the manner of keystones. Due to the shape thus obtained, part of the moment of inertia forces exerted by the weight of the user is transformed into surface pressures and tensions, in the same way as the distribution of forces in an eggshell.
- Figure 3 shows the structure in its transport position. Indeed, by the flexible connection 16 existing between two consecutive blades 15, the planar element 10 forming the structure, which can be stored vertically or horizontally by stacking, can be rolled for transport or even stored in the form of 'a roll. To decrease the volume of this roller, you can give a progressive width to the blades.
- Figures 5 to 7 illustrate different embodiments of the flexible connections 16 and the joints 13 between the blades of the structure according to the present invention.
- Figure 5 shows in perspective a section made through a structure made of a rigid material, but partially flexible, such as for example corrugated cardboard.
- the blades 15, the connections 16 between two blades 15 as well as the articulations 13 are obtained by making a grooving at the appropriate places of a sheet of cardboard or of another material forming the element 10. This grooving allows to obtain thin lines defining on the one hand the blades 15 and on the other hand the joints allowing the folding.
- the lines of least resistance of the upper face coincide with the lines of the lower face so as to be able to place the structure in the position of use.
- the blades 15, for example having a thickness of 5 mm are made of plastic, wood or other material and consist of two half-blades 15a and 15b superimposed.
- the superimposed half-blades of each blade part are glued on either side of a flexible material 30, such as a sheet of plastic material or a piece of canvas having the dimensions and the shape of the structure unfolded so to form entire blades 15 and to connect all the parts together in an articulated manner.
- a flexible material 30 such as a sheet of plastic material or a piece of canvas having the dimensions and the shape of the structure unfolded so to form entire blades 15 and to connect all the parts together in an articulated manner.
- the joints 13 and the flexible connections 16 between each blade 15 are formed by the canvas or the plastic material disposed between the half-blades.
- each part of the half-blades 15a and 15b are provided with a chamfer 31 having an angle of approximately 45 ° so that, in the folded position, the ends of the blades of the central part 11 bear, at an angle of 90 °, against the ends of the blades of the side parts 12 to form vertical parts.
- a chamfer 31 having an angle of approximately 45 ° so that, in the folded position, the ends of the blades of the central part 11 bear, at an angle of 90 °, against the ends of the blades of the side parts 12 to form vertical parts.
- FIG. 7 illustrates a partial section view of an embodiment in which the blades 15, formed from a relatively rigid material such as wood, cardboard or a synthetic material and produced separately in three parts, are housed in compartments of a fabric cover 40 having the dimensions and shape of the unfolded structure.
- the compartments 41 are delimited by a seam, a bonding or a weld or any other suitable means 42.
- the joints 13 and the flexible connections are housed in compartments of a fabric cover 40 having the dimensions and shape of the unfolded structure.
- the blades which can also be formed by cylinders or any other profile, can also be connected by other flexible connecting means such as for example cords or cables.
- the foldable structure of the invention has many advantages.
- the rigidity of the blades is ensured by their overlapping and by the fact that they act in the manner of a keystone.
- the horizontal blades take up moments of force due to the mass of a user, the forces being distributed over a large area of the structure.
- Such a structure can easily support a 100 kg user.
- the use of the keystone principle therefore makes it possible to obtain a particularly light structure for a very great resistance.
- This structure is also compact thanks to its original design.
- the shape of the seat obtained can vary at will by changing the shape of the articulation curves 20 and that of the base planar element 10.
- This foldable structure can also be used as a beach mat in its flat position or as a screen when it is placed in the semi-folded state on one of its lateral edges. In addition, it can serve as an advertising medium on one or both sides. When made of a honeycomb structure or of polymer foam, it floats and can be used as an air mattress.
- the structure of the present invention can also be coupled in a chain by means of a fixing such as a zipper, to form a continuous bench seat intended for example for waiting rooms.
- a fixing such as a zipper
- Such a flexible fixing method also makes it possible to obtain rounded-shaped benches.
- the outer edges of the blades forming the edges can be made with a rounded shape so as to obtain a seat that can swing, that is to say of the rocking chair type.
- the two lateral parts can also be made integral with one another in the position of use by a connection in the form of a strap. This strap could also be used to keep the structure rolled up during transport or storage.
