Abstract

The sofa frame, comprising a supporting structure for cushions (11) and covers, is made up of two L-shaped modules (13'). Each module has two L-shaped elements (2', 3') with cross bars, connected at their forward ends by pivots (15), and at the top by levers (4) with two arms (5, 6). The upper module is sprung relative to the lower one by compression springs (10) so that the levers rock when a weight is applied to the sofa by a person sitting on it, at the same time tilting a rear headrest (12) into a near vertical position.

Description

Domaine technique de l'invention,-Technical field of the invention, -

La présente invention se réfère à une armature pour canapés, du type de celles qui sont formées par une structure portante recouverte d'éléments tels que le coussin, les housses et d'autres éléments de revêtement.The present invention relates to a frame for sofas, of the type of those formed by a supporting structure covered with elements such as cushion, covers and other covering elements.

Antécédents de l'invention.-History of the invention.

Les canapés et les fauteuils sont normalement formés d'une armature constituée d'une structure portante, en général métallique, mais cette dernière peut être également formée d'autres matériaux rigides, tels que le bois ou le plastique ou une combinaison des deux. Cette structure est recouverte d'éléments tels que le coussin, les housses et d'autres éléments de revêtement qui déterminent le siège, le dossier et dans certains cas l'appui-tête.Sofas and armchairs are normally formed of a frame consisting of a supporting structure, generally metallic, but the latter can also be formed from other rigid materials, such as wood or plastic or a combination of both. This structure is covered items such as the cushion, covers and other items of upholstery that determines the seat, the backrest and in some cases the headrest.

Dans certains cas, la présence d'un appui-tête émergeant du dossier du canapé n'est pas très esthétique et peut empêcher la vision. Lorsqu'un canapé est placé au milieu d'un espace, sans aucune paroi derrière, il est très difficile, voire même impossible, que l'usager puisse disposer d'un coussin afin d'y reposer la tête. Cela peut présenter des inconvénients pour certaines applications.In some cases, the presence of a headrest emerging from the backrest of the sofa is not very aesthetic and can prevent vision. when sofa is placed in the middle of a space, with no walls behind, it is very difficult or even impossible for the user to have a cushion to rest your head there. This can have drawbacks for some applications.

Explication de l'invention.-Explanation of the invention.

Afin de résoudre ces inconvénients, la présente invention propose une armature pour canapés, qui se caractérise essentiellement en ce que la dite structure se compose de deux modules essentiellement en «L», ces derniers étant chacun formé de deux membres également en «L», les deux modules étant articulés à une de leur extrémité ; un châssis pour supporter un coussin ou un élément analogue, solidaire simultanément aux modules en «L» par des moyens d'articulation ; et des moyens élastiques de raccord entre les modules qui tendent à les maintenir écartés en permanence, tout cela adapté de façon à ce que le châssis, en absence de sollicitations, demeure en position de repos essentiellement différente de la verticale et lorsque l'on exerce une force vers le bas sur le module, en faisant pression sur la résistance des moyens élastiques à partir de cette position de repos, le module supérieur descend et se rapproche du module inférieur, en créant le basculement des moyens d'articulation, faisant que le châssis adopte une position essentiellement verticale.In order to resolve these drawbacks, the present invention provides a frame for sofas, which is essentially characterized in that the so-called structure consists of two essentially L-shaped modules, these being each formed by two members also in "L" shape, the two modules being articulated at one of their ends; a frame to support a cushion or a similar element, fixed simultaneously to the "L" modules by means of articulation; and elastic means of connection between the modules which tend to keep them apart all the time, all this adapted in a way the chassis, in the absence of stress, remains in the position of rest essentially different from the vertical and when exercising a force down on the module, pressing the resistance of the elastic means from this rest position, the upper module descends and approaches the lower module, creating the tilting of the means of articulation, causing the chassis to assume a position essentially vertical.

Selon une réalisation préférée, le module inférieur est fixe et le module supérieur est sensé tourner autour d'un axe d'articulation horizontal.According to a preferred embodiment, the lower module is fixed and the module upper is supposed to rotate around a horizontal axis of articulation.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, les membres analogues de chaque module sont unis par des traverses qui solidarisent les deux modules.According to another characteristic of the invention, the analogous members of each module are united by crosspieces which join the two modules.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, les moyens d'articulation entre le châssis et les modules comprennent deux leviers respectifs qui relient les membres en «L» de chaque module à leur extrémité opposée à celle de l'articulation horizontale, chaque levier étant composé de deux bras, chacun étant respectivement articulé à chaque membre au moyen d'une articulation.According to another characteristic of the invention, the articulation means between the chassis and the modules include two respective levers which connect the L-shaped members of each module at their opposite end to that of the horizontal joint, each lever being composed of two arms, each being respectively articulated to each member by means of a joint.

Préférentiellement, les moyens élastiques sont constitués au moins d'un ressort disposé verticalement entre une traverse, qui unit les membres du module inférieur, et une traverse qui unit les membres du module supérieur.Preferably, the elastic means consist at least a spring arranged vertically between a cross member, which unites the members of the lower module, and a cross which unites the members of the upper module.

    • Description détaillée des dessins.-Detailed description of the drawings.

    Sur ces dessins, on peut voir que l'armature 1 pour canapés 20 est formée d'une structure portante, en particulier métallique, destinée à être recouverte d'éléments tels que le coussin 11, 12, des housses et d'autres éléments de revêtement, afin de former le siège horizontal 21, le dossier pour le dos 22 et un appui-tête 23, selon la Fig. 5.In these drawings, it can be seen that the frame 1 for sofas 20 is formed of a supporting structure, in particular metallic, intended to be covered with elements such as cushion 11, 12, covers and others covering elements, in order to form the horizontal seat 21, the backrest for the back 22 and a headrest 23, according to FIG. 5.

    La structure se compose de deux modules 13 et 13' en «L» articulés à une de leurs extrémités 14, dans ce cas l'extrémité antérieure inférieure correspondant au canapé 20 en question.The structure consists of two modules 13 and 13 'in "L" articulated to one of their ends 14, in this case the lower anterior end corresponding to the sofa 20 in question.

    Chaque module 13 et 13' est formé respectivement de deux membres 2, 2' et 3, 3' essentiellement en «L».Each module 13 and 13 'is respectively formed by two members 2, 2 'and 3, 3' essentially in "L" shape.

    Le module 13' inférieur est fixe et le module 13 supérieur est basculant, pouvant pivoter autour d'un axe d'articulation horizontal 15.The lower module 13 'is fixed and the upper module 13 is tilting, able to pivot around a horizontal articulation axis 15.

    Les membres 2 et 2' du module 13' inférieur sont rigidement unis entre eux au moyen de traverses 8. Les membres 3 et 3' du module 13 supérieur sont rigidement unis entre eux au moyen de traverses 9.The members 2 and 2 'of the lower module 13' are rigidly united between them by means of crosspieces 8. The members 3 and 3 'of the upper module 13 are rigidly joined together by means of crosspieces 9.

    Chaque module 13 et 13' comprend des moyens d'articulation 25 disposés à l'extrémité postérieure supérieure du canapé 20 à l'opposé de l'articulation antérieure inférieure 15, ces moyens 25 d'articulation comprennent un levier 4 pour chaque membre 2, 2' et 3, 3' du module qui unit les deux membres en 2, 3 et 2', 3'. Chaque levier 4 est formé de deux bras 5 et 6. Le bras 5 est articulé au membre en «L» inférieur 2 et le bras 6 est articulé au membre en «L» supérieur 3 du module 13. Les bras 5 et 6 sont articulés entre eux par une articulation 16.Each module 13 and 13 'includes articulation means 25 arranged at the upper rear end of the sofa 20 opposite the lower anterior articulation 15, these articulation means 25 include a lever 4 for each member 2, 2 'and 3, 3' of the uniting module the two members in 2, 3 and 2 ', 3'. Each lever 4 is formed by two arms 5 and 6. The arm 5 is articulated to the lower “L” member 2 and the arm 6 is articulated to the upper “L” member 3 of module 13. Arms 5 and 6 are hinged together by a hinge 16.

    L'armature 1 comprend un châssis 7 destiné à supporter un coussin ou un élément analogue pour un appui-tête 23. Le châssis 7 est solidaire simultanément aux bras articulés 6 des deux leviers 4 des moyens d'articulation 25 de chaque module 13 et 13'.The frame 1 comprises a frame 7 intended to support a cushion or a similar element for a headrest 23. The chassis 7 is integral simultaneously to the articulated arms 6 of the two levers 4 of the means 25 of each module 13 and 13 '.

    Entre les modules 13 et 13' se situe un ressort 10 disposé verticalement entre une traverse 8, qui unit les membres 2 et 2' du module 13', et une traverse 9, qui unit les membres 3 et 3' du module 13. Le ressort 10 est à compression, de façon à ce qu'il tende à maintenir, en absence de sollicitation, lorsque personne n'est assis sur le canapé 20, écarter le module 13 supérieur du module 13' inférieur et donc le châssis 7 demeure ainsi en position horizontale rabattue.Between the modules 13 and 13 'is located a spring 10 disposed vertically between a cross member 8, which joins the members 2 and 2 'of the module 13 ', and a cross 9, which unites the members 3 and 3' of the module 13. The spring 10 is compression, so that it tends to maintain, in the absence of solicitation, when nobody is sitting on the sofa 20, move the module aside 13 upper module 13 'lower and therefore the chassis 7 thus remains in folded horizontal position.

    Le fonctionnement du canapé 20 pourvu de l'armature 1 selon l'invention est le suivant. En absence de sollicitations, le châssis 7 est en position de repos, (Fig. 1, 3 et 5) essentiellement différente de la verticale. Lorsqu'un usager s'assied sur le canapé 20, il exerce une force vers le bas sur le module 13 supérieur, force essentiellement équivalente à celle du poids de la personne, qui fait pression sur le ressort 10. Le module 13 supérieur s'abaisse alors et se rapproche du module 13' inférieur, en créant le basculement des leviers 4 des moyens d'articulation 25, et ces leviers entraínent dans leur rotation le châssis 7, et par ce dernier l'appui-tête 23 qui adopte une position essentiellement verticale (Fig. 2 et 4) remplissant ainsi sa fonction.The operation of the sofa 20 provided with the frame 1 according to the invention is as follows. In the absence of stresses, the chassis 7 is in rest position, (Fig. 1, 3 and 5) essentially different from the vertical. When a user sits on the sofa 20, he exerts a downward force on the upper module 13, force essentially equivalent to that of the weight of the person, who puts pressure on the spring 10. The upper module 13 then lowers and approaches the lower module 13 ', creating the tilting of the levers 4 of the articulation means 25, and these levers drive in their rotation the chassis 7, and by the latter the headrest 23 which adopts an essentially vertical position (Fig. 2 and 4) thus fulfilling its function.

    Une fois la nature de l'invention suffisamment décrite ainsi que l'exemple de réalisation préférée, les matériaux, la forme, la dimension et la disposition des éléments décrits peuvent être modifiés sans supposer toutefois l'altération des caractéristiques essentielles de l'invention dont les revendications se trouvent à la suite.Once the nature of the invention has been sufficiently described as well as the preferred embodiment, materials, shape, size and arrangement of the elements described can be modified without assuming however the alteration of the essential characteristics of the invention including the claims lie after.
