Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a bench, specifically designed for public spaces, which consists of a body defining the back and the seat that rests on supporting legs.
  • Benches of the above described type for public spaces are generally conceived as sturdy assemblies, both as regards the seat body and the supporting legs.
  • traditional materials are stone, wood, iron and concrete.
  • plastic material particularly for the seat body.
  • the seat body consists of a single part; the supporting legs can be included in said body or be independent of it.
  • the object of the present invention is a bench with a different construction, fundamentally relying on a different structure of the seat body that allows manufacture with known and used materials and methods.
  • the seat body of the bench is comprised of three hollow longitudinal panels, of equal length, made of metal, preferably aluminium and obtained by extrusion.
  • the two end panels are identical, with a substantially flat shape, and are meant to determine the back and the seat, while the intermediate panel is transversally bent at an angle greater than 90°, with a rounded inner and outer vertex, to define a transition area between the seat and the back.
  • the three panels that form the bench have adjacent longitudinal edges that are provided with means for coupling and attachment by a tongue and groove configuration.
  • These means consist of a longitudinal protruding tongue and a groove having an equal section, transversally inclined and arched, with a free edge and a curved base.
  • the tongue and the groove have a section that is limited by two greater concave and convex edges with different radii, slightly convergent, and joined by a convex segment or profile.
  • the convex side of the longitudinal tongue has a right-angled longitudinal recess with one of the edges defining said angle being bevelled.
  • the transverse edges of the three panels are open and placed coplanar to each other, being closed on either side by a common cover that is attached to the three panels.
  • the panels that form the seat body are joined to each other by the longitudinal tongue and groove means and by the transverse covers.
  • This attachment can be complemented by locking screws inserted through threaded orifices made in the lower walls of the groove that become part of the coupling means.
  • the intermediate panel will have the grooves of the coupling means on its two longitudinal edges, while the end panel shall have the corresponding longitudinal groove on the edge adjacent to the central panel.
  • the bench of the invention is completed by legs made by a structure comprised of steel rods joined on one side to a baseplate of the bench body, while on the opposite end they form segments defining support feet.
  • the seat body can be prolonged, at least on one side, in the form of a table comprised of two panels: an anterior panel identical to one of the end profiles of the seat body and a posterior panel with a similar structure that reaches the start of the curvature of the intermediate seat panel.
  • the two panels that form the table are provided on their adjacent edges with coupling means similar to the panels of the seat body.
  • the two panels of the table are connected to the adjacent panels of the body of the bench by a bottom plate that is bolted to both sets of panels.
  • the bench of the invention can include armrests consisting of a substantially flat body, from the rear of which emerge stems that can be inserted in the orifices of the panels to which they are secured by screws.
  • Figure 1 shows a bench comprised of a body labelled by the number 1, support legs labelled by the number 2, a side table 3 disposed as a prolongation of the seat area of the body 1 and an armrest 4.
  • the bench body 1 as can be seen in figure 1, is comprised of three longitudinal panels, two end panels labelled 5 and 6 that are identical to each other and an intermediate panel 7.
  • the three panels are hollow and are comprised of an equal number of extruded aluminium profiles, of narrow width, provided between their greater walls with reinforcement partitions 40.
  • the panels 5 and 6 are substantially flat, with a slight transverse curvature on the end and respectively define a seat area and a back area, and are connected to each other by the intermediate panel 7 that determines a transition area between the seat area 5 and the back area 6 that has a transverse elbow with an angle greater than 90°, with the vertex rounded on the inside and on the outside.
  • the three panels are provided along their adjacent edges with a tongue and groove coupling system.
  • This system as can be best seen in figures 3 and 4, consists of a longitudinal groove 8 established along the longitudinal edges of the panel 7, and a tongue 9 provided along the longitudinal edge of the panels 5 and 6 adjacent to the intermediate panel 7.
  • Said groove 8 and tongue 9 have an equal section, transversally inclined and arched, limited by two greater edges curved in the same sense but with different radii, which are labelled in the tongue 9 by the numbers 10 and 11 and in the groove 8 by the numbers 10' and 11'.
  • the edge 11-11' has the greater radius and the two edges converge slightly to end in a rounded edge in the tongue 9 and in an also rounded base in the groove 8.
  • the tongue 9 is provided in its convex edge 11 with a longitudinal recess 12 with a right-angled profile, with one of the edges ending in a bevelling 13.
  • the tongue 9 of the panels 5 and 6 is coupled to the opposing groove 8 of the panel 7.
  • the rounded edge of the tongue 9 is placed opposite the opening of the groove 8, with the panels 5 and 7 defining a certain angle.
  • the panel 5 is turned with respect to the panel 7, while the tongue 9 is gradually inserted in the groove 8 until a full coupling is achieved, as shown in figure 7.
  • the same process is followed for the panel 8, which will define the back area, and the intermediate panel 7.
  • the panel 7 is provided on its bottom surface near the groove 8 with a threaded orifice 14 through which can be inserted a locking screw that will rest against the opposite surface of the recess 12 of the tongue 9, preventing said tongue, together with the panel 5, from turning with respect to the panel 7 in the sense that would uncouple them.
  • the panels 5, 6 and 7 are equal in length, so that their open end sections are coplanar on either side and are closed by a cover 15, figure 8, with an outline that matches that of the transverse edges of the bench body and is provided with orifices 16 for passage of screws that are threaded in the inner cells 17 of the panels, thereby securing the assembly of the bench body without risk of separation of its component elements.
  • each leg is comprised of structures of steel rods as shown in figures 9 to 12.
  • each leg consists of two rods folded into a C-shape, labelled 19 and 20, with two diverging side branches with different inclination and length.
  • These two C-bars are connected through the central branch by a plate 21, after which the corresponding side branches converge to end in end segments 22 that are set against and joined to each other, with a reinforcement cross bar 23 running between the start of them.
  • the plate 21 rests on the bottom surface of the bench body, partly on the panel 5 and partly on the panel 7, and is joined to these by screws passing through the orifices 24 of the plate 21 and are attached to the threaded orifices of the panels 5 and 7 not shown. It is possible to couple flanges 26 to the end segments 22, attached by locking screws 27.
  • the bench body can include armrests 4, which determine a supporting body that is the armrest itself, from which extend rear tubular stems 28, internally threaded starting at their free end, and one or more lower tubular rods 29 also internally threaded starting at their free ends that pass through the orifices of the anterior wall of the panels 6 and 7 and are placed opposite the orifices of the rear wall of said panels, through which are inserted locking screws, not shown.
  • the bench of the invention can include a table 3 as an extension of the seat area.
  • This table 3, as shown in figure 5, is comprised of two hollow panels labelled 30 and 31 in turn comprised of as many extruded aluminium profiles.
  • the panel 30 is identical to the end panels 5 and 6 of the body of the bench, while panel 31 is identical to the intermediate panel until the start of its curvature, so that the top of the table 3 is disposed exactly as an extension of the top surface of the seat area of the bench.
  • Said panels 30 and 31 are provided on their adjacent longitudinal edges with coupling means identical to those described with reference to figures 3 and 4, consisting of a groove 8' and a tongue 9', with identical characteristics as described above.
  • the end transverse edge of the top of the table 3, formed by the panels 30 and 31, is also closed by a cover similar to that described with reference to figure 8 but which matches the path of the edges of the panels 30 and 31, with the attachment effected by screws as described above.
  • the panels 30 and 31 can also be joined on the bottom by a plate 32, figures 13 and 14, that is provided on one of its surfaces with a longitudinal reinforcement rib 33.
  • This plate is provided with orifices 34 and is sized so that it rests on the panels 30 and 31 of the table top and also on the panels 5 and 7 of the bench, being attached to all of these panels by screws passing through the orifices 34 and threaded in the threaded orifices of said panels.
  • the outer surface of the panels 5, 6 and 7 can be longitudinally ribbed except on the free longitudinal edges of the panels 5 and 6.
  • the inner surface of the bench body could be upholstered, such as with removable pillows.
