Description

Domaine techniqueTechnical area

L'invention concerne l'équipement mobilier et d'ameublement du type siège, fauteuil, lit, pouvant être utilisés aussi bien dans des situations d'utilisation quotidienne en habitation classique, que dans le cadre d'utilisations ponctuelles ou temporaires, pendant les périodes de vacances, ou à l'occasion de loisirs divers.The invention relates to furniture and furnishings of the type seat, armchair, bed, can be used both in situations of daily use in conventional housing, only in the context occasional or temporary use, during vacation periods, or on the occasion of various leisure activities.

En d'autres termes, les sièges, fauteuils, lits et articles similaires peuvent être utilisés comme accessoires pour le camping, la randonnée, les loisirs hebdomadaires ou en situation d'habitat classique.In other words, seats, armchairs, beds and the like can be used as accessories for camping, hiking, leisure weekly or in a traditional housing situation.

Art antérieurPrior art

On connaít depuis longtemps des meubles formant sièges, dits fauteuils de relaxation (voir figure 1), constitués de longerons rigides parallèles, formant éventuellement des cadres en U fermés sur et entre lesquels est tendue une toile porteuse accrochée par des moyens élastiques. Dans la forme de réalisation représentée figure 1, commercialisée notamment par le demandeur depuis de nombreuses années, les moyens élastiques du type tendeur sont enfilés dans un ensemble d'oeillets aménagés à cet effet sur les bords de la toile, et des crochets ou analogues prévus à cet effet sur les longerons permettent ainsi l'enfilage du tendeur passant alternativement en zigzag d'un oeillet à un crochet. En pratique, les crochets successifs sont réalisés à partir d'un fil métallique ondulé en zigzag, avec des zones soudées le long de la génératrice intérieure du longeron, en définissant entre deux zones de liaison successives une ouverture de passage du tendeur ou autre moyen d'accrochage du même type. Selon l'art antérieur ainsi rappelé, le problème posé réside dans les coûts de fabrication et de mise en oeuvre du dispositif de liaison de la toile par rapport à l'armature portante. On conçoit que l'enfilement successif des tendeurs à travers les oeillets et les formes en crochet reste long, fastidieux et peu pratique. Il reste limité à des opérations manuelles. Il est en effet difficile de prévoir des successions d'enfilement dans un sens et dans un autre à l'aide de bras manipulateurs ou autres, dans le cadre d'une automatisation de part et d'autre du plan longitudinal donné par l'armature porteuse. Cependant, l'avantage de cette solution réside dans le fait qu'il y a un équilibrage des tensions données sur la toile.We have known for a long time furniture forming seats, called armchairs relaxation (see figure 1), made up of parallel rigid longitudinal members, forming possibly U-shaped frames closed on and between which is stretched a load-bearing canvas hung by elastic means. In the form of embodiment shown in Figure 1, sold in particular by applicant for many years, elastic means of the type tensioner are threaded in a set of eyelets fitted for this purpose on the edges of the fabric, and hooks or the like provided for this purpose on the longitudinal members thus allow threading of the tensioner passing alternately in zigzag from eyelet to crochet. In practice, successive hooks are made from a corrugated zigzag wire, with zones welded along the inner generator of the spar, defining between two successive connecting zones an opening for passage of the tensioner or other means of attachment of the same type. According to the prior art thus recalled, the problem lies in the costs of manufacturing and implementing the device for connecting the fabric with respect to the supporting frame. We design that the successive threading of the tensioners through the eyelets and the hook remains long, tedious and impractical. It remains limited to operations manual. It is indeed difficult to predict threading successions back and forth using manipulator arms or whatever, in part of an automation on either side of the given longitudinal plane by the supporting frame. However, the advantage of this solution lies in the fact that there is a balancing of the tensions given on the fabric.

Il a aussi été proposé dans un brevet italien MARGA n° VI94U000041 un autre système de mise en tension de la toile. Il est alors prévu dans le cadre de ce brevet de disposer intérieurement par rapport au cadre métallique une barre supplémentaire solidaire dudit cadre, la fixation des extrémités latérales de la natte ou de la toile étant réalisée au moyen d'un cordon élastique passant dans une pluralité d'oeillets formés sur les bords de la toile et retenus par une pluralité de crochets, chaque crochet étant prévu entre deux oeillets successifs sur la barre précitée. Cette mise en oeuvre est plus complexe. Son seul avantage réside dans le fait que le cordon élastique peut être disposé en enfilade sur lesdits oeillets, puis après par des opérations où les parties de cordon élastique pouvant être déplacées latéralement pour être positionnées sur des crochets associés à la barre précitée. Cette solution n'est guère satisfaisante néanmoins. It has also been proposed in an Italian patent MARGA n ° VI94U000041 a another system for tensioning the fabric. It is then provided in the framework of this patent to have internally with respect to the metal frame a additional bar secured to said frame, fixing the ends side of the mat or the canvas being produced by means of a cord elastic passing through a plurality of eyelets formed on the edges of the fabric and retained by a plurality of hooks, each hook being provided between two successive eyelets on the aforementioned bar. This implementation is more complex. Its only advantage is that the elastic cord can be arranged in a row on said eyelets, then afterwards by operations where the elastic cord parts which can be moved laterally to be positioned on hooks associated with the aforementioned bar. This solution is hardly satisfactory, however.

Buts recherchésGoals sought

Le but recherché selon l'invention était donc de rechercher et concevoir un dispositif de fixation, de liaison et de pose de la toile qui soit aisé à réaliser, facilement manipulable par l'opérateur et d'un coût de fabrication limité par rapport à l'art antérieur.The aim sought after according to the invention was therefore to seek and design a device for fixing, connecting and laying the fabric which is easy to produce, easily manipulated by the operator and a manufacturing cost limited by compared to the prior art.

Un autre but recherché selon l'invention est de concevoir un dispositif qui, tout en étant facile à être positionné pour assurer la liaison de la toile par rapport à l'armature portante, assure complètement une fonction de verrouillage ou d'auto verrouillage, de sorte qu'ensuite l'assise puisse être utilisée en toute sécurité.Another aim sought after according to the invention is to design a device which, while being easy to be positioned to ensure the connection of the canvas by in relation to the supporting frame, completely fulfills a function of locking or self-locking, so that the seat can then be used safely.

Un autre but recherché selon l'invention est de concevoir un dispositif qui puisse être partiellement remplacé en cas de détérioration, sans nuire à la qualité de portage de la toile par rapport à l'armature portante.Another aim sought after according to the invention is to design a device which can be partially replaced in the event of deterioration, without harming the quality of carrying of the fabric compared to the load-bearing frame.

Selon une première caractéristique de l'invention, le dispositif de mise en place et de fixation d'une toile sur une structure réceptrice portante d'ameublement d'équipement mobilier et d'assise, ladite structure comprenant au moins un longeron sur lequel est rapporté et fixé un profilé en fil ondulé en zigzag définissant des intervalles ouverts de passage de moyens de liaison, est remarquable en ce qu'il comprend une bande réalisée en matière plastique solidarisée sur la ou les bordures extérieures de la toile, ladite bande présentant au moins une patte profilée obtenue par moulage et monobloc avec la bande, ladite patte présentant une forme en berceau d'appui pour être introduit contre la paroi en regard du longeron de la structure portante, et dans les intervalles formés entre ledit longeron et un profilé solidarisé au dit longeron, et en ce que la zone de jonction entre la bande et la patte constitue une zone de contre appui susceptible de permettre l'appui d'une partie ondulée du profilé en autorisant ainsi un verrouillage en position de la patte par rapport au longeron en regard.According to a first characteristic of the invention, the setting device place and fasten a canvas on a load-bearing receiving structure furniture and seating equipment, said structure comprising at least one beam on which a profile is attached and fixed in zigzag wavy wire defining open intervals of passage of connecting means, is remarkable in that it comprises a strip made in plastic material secured to the outer edge (s) of the fabric, said strip having at least one profiled tab obtained by molding and integral with the band, said tab having a cradle shape support to be introduced against the wall opposite the side member of the bearing structure, and in the intervals formed between said spar and a section secured to said spar, and in that the junction zone between the band and the leg constitutes a zone of counter support likely to allow the support of a corrugated part of the profile thereby allowing a locking in position of the tab relative to the facing spar.

Ces caractéristiques et d'autres encore ressortiront bien de la suite de la description.These characteristics and others will become clear from the rest of the description.

Afin de rendre plus concret l'objet de l'invention, on le décrit maintenant d'une manière non limitative illustrée aux figures des dessins.In order to make the object of the invention more concrete, it is now described in a nonlimiting manner illustrated in the figures of the drawings.

L'invention vise à réaliser un dispositif (D) susceptible d'assurer la liaison et le positionnement d'une toile (1) destinée à être tendue sur un équipement mobilier ou d'ameublement du type siège, fauteuil, lit et similaires. La toile peut être de toute configuration et tout matériau approprié. La structure portante (2) peut être réalisée à partir d'un ou plusieurs longerons (2a) tubulaires ou non, rigides, parallèles, fermés ou ouverts, formant cadre, et présentant d'une manière connue sur le bord et la génératrice intérieure médiane longitudinale un profilé (2b) en forme de fil continu ou discontinu, comprenant une pluralité d'ondulations (2c) disposées en zigzag. Ces ondulations constituent sur un même plan des zones de fixation (2d) sur le longeron par soudure ou autrement et entre deux zones de liaison audit tube ou longeron précité, elles définissent des intervalles ouverts (2e) de passage pouvant constituer des zones de crochetage.The invention aims to produce a device (D) capable of ensuring the connection and positioning a canvas (1) intended to be stretched over a furniture or furnishings such as seats, armchairs, beds and Similar. The canvas can be of any configuration and any material appropriate. The supporting structure (2) can be produced from one or several beams (2a) tubular or not, rigid, parallel, closed or open, forming a frame, and having in a known manner on the edge and the longitudinal median interior generator a wire-shaped profile (2b) continuous or discontinuous, comprising a plurality of undulations (2c) arranged in a zigzag pattern. These undulations constitute, on the same plane, fixing zones (2d) on the spar by welding or otherwise and between two connection zones to said tube or spar above, they define open intervals (2e) of passage which can constitute zones of lock picking.

En variante et sans sortir du cadre de l'invention, la structure portante peut être réalisée en bois, ou en matière plastique thermoformée ou injectée, en incorporant dans cette mise en oeuvre directement le longeron et le profilé associé. La forme du profil (2b) peut varier, l'essentiel étant de former des ouvertures de passage par rapport au longeron.As a variant and without departing from the scope of the invention, the structure load-bearing can be made of wood, or of thermoformed plastic or injected, by incorporating in this implementation directly the beam and the associated profile. The shape of the profile (2b) can vary, the main thing being forming passage openings relative to the spar.

Selon l'invention, le dispositif comprend une bande (3) réalisée en matière plastique qui est disposée surmoulée sur la ou les bordures extérieures (la, 1b) de la toile ou pouvant être cousue à celle-ci. Cette bande présente en extrémité une patte (3a) profilée obtenue par moulage, destinée à former un berceau d'appui contre la paroi en regard du longeron tubulaire correspondant. La partie adjacente (3b) plane et entourant lesdites pattes (3a) peut constituer également une zone de contre-appui susceptible de permettre l'appui de la partie en ondulation en regard du profilé (2b) précité. La bande (3) rapportée peut être établie sous forme de module avec seulement une patte, ou être agencée sur une plus grande longueur pour recevoir à intervalles successifs plusieurs pattes du type précité pour venir s'engager dans les intervalles ouverts (2e) formés dans les passages des formes en ondulation du profilé (2b) associé au longeron support. On peut noter également que les pattes (3a) sont agencées avec un profil correspondant au dit longeron, de sorte qu'il y ait un contre-appui systématique entre le longeron et la partie de la bande rapportée surmoulée ou non, ou cousue à la toile.According to the invention, the device comprises a strip (3) made of material plastic which is placed overmolded on the outer edge (s) (the, 1b) of the canvas or can be sewn to it. This tape presents in end a profiled tab (3a) obtained by molding, intended to form a support cradle against the wall opposite the tubular beam corresponding. The adjacent part (3b) planar and surrounding said legs (3a) can also constitute a counter-support zone capable of allow the support of the undulating part opposite the profile (2b) supra. The attached strip (3) can be established in the form of a module with only one leg, or be arranged over a longer length to receive at successive intervals several legs of the aforementioned type to come engage in the open intervals (2e) formed in the passages of corrugated shapes of the profile (2b) associated with the support beam. We can also note that the legs (3a) are arranged with a profile corresponding to the said spar, so that there is a counter-support systematic between the spar and the part of the over-molded attached strip or not, or sewn to the canvas.

Le montage de l'ensemble est extrêmement aisé et on supprime par l'invention l'utilisation des tendeurs ou cordons élastiques connus antérieurement et donc on s'exonère de leur montage. Les bandes réceptrices de pattes profilées en berceau du type précité, peuvent être établies sur des longueurs correspondant à la longueur des toiles ou être adaptées selon des modules appropriés. Il va de soi dans cette réalisation que le montage est beaucoup plus rapide à réaliser et à mettre en oeuvre, ainsi qu'il apparaít aux figures des dessins.The assembly of the assembly is extremely easy and we remove by the invention the use of known elastic tensioners or cords previously and therefore it is exempt from their mounting. Groups receptacles for profiled cradle legs of the aforementioned type, may be established on lengths corresponding to the length of the fabrics or be adapted according to appropriate modules. It goes without saying in this realization that the assembly is much faster to realize and to implement, as it appears in the figures of the drawings.

La mise en place d'un ensemble permet d'obtenir une suspension rigide et ferme, ainsi que verrouillée. Il faut impérativement l'intervention d'un opérateur pour détacher ou déplacer l'une des pattes du dispositif, afin d'assurer un décrochage. Le dispositif ainsi réalisé est beaucoup plus sûr. La mise en oeuvre et les coûts de fabrication sont largement réduits, puisque la bande est obtenue par injection ou thermoformage en continu et découpée aux longueurs souhaitées. La liaison de la bande sur la toile pour chacun de ses côtés est effectuée par soudure ultrason, piquetage, couture ou autre.The installation of an assembly makes it possible to obtain a rigid suspension and closed, as well as locked. The intervention of a operator to detach or move one of the legs of the device, so to ensure a dropout. The device thus produced is much safer. The implementation and manufacturing costs are greatly reduced, since the strip is obtained by continuous injection or thermoforming and cut to the desired lengths. The binding of the strip on the canvas for each of its sides are made by ultrasonic welding, picketing, sewing or other.

Dans l'hypothèse où l'une des pattes viendrait à être détériorée et cassée par exemple, il est facilement envisageable de la changer et de remplacer une longueur de bande en détachant celle-ci de la toile à la partie correspondante.In the event that one of the legs becomes damaged and broken by example, it is easily possible to change it and replace a strip length by detaching it from the canvas to the part corresponding.

L'invention trouve de nombreuses applications dans des structures réceptrices d'ameublement, d'équipement mobilier tels que chaises, fauteuils, lits et similaires, et pour tous usages et circonstances de loisirs ou non.The invention finds numerous applications in structures furniture receivers, furniture equipment such as chairs, armchairs, beds and the like, and for all uses and leisure circumstances or no.
