Definitions

  • the present invention refers to a procedure in which complete plastic material sides, including anchorages for fastening to the floor or even steps, as well as fixed armrests or means for jointing folding armrests, can be produced in the same operation.
  • sides for seats are made by using a single mould which has a fixed part that permits the production of the main body of the side, common to all of them, and a series of inserts or exchangeable parts that enable the differentiating items or parts of each side to be produced.
  • the seat sides are obtained from a single mould which has a fixed part whose configuration matches the body of the side, which is common to all sides, and an exchangeable part of variable geometry from which the leg and bearing shoe, in such a way that, depending on the configuration of the exchangeable part of the mould, sides are obtained with legs of different lengths and bearing shoes of different angles.
  • This procedure successfully uses a single mould to produce seat sides for adjustment to the desired height of the seat and adaptation to the different slopes present in the floor.
  • the holder of the present invention also applied for Invention Patent ES 2 179 754 which is entitled "Procedure for producing a seat side and the side produced by this procedure” and refers to a procedure for producing sides using a mould that has a fixed part from which the main body and leg of the side are obtained, and a moving part that produces the shoe for anchoring it to the floor.
  • Seats are often also set in place on stepped surfaces, in the form of tiers, in which the sides may be anchored to the horizontal plane of the steps or else suspended from the front or vertical face of the steps.
  • the seat sides should include a fixed armrest as an integral part of the side, or else folding armrests with the means needed for pivoting the aforesaid armrest.
  • the procedure for producing seat sides covered by this invention enables complete plastic sides, i.e. including the necessary support or anchoring means, to be produced in the same moulding operation, as well as the fixed armrests or the means necessary for the provision of folding armrest joints, so that all the possible seat side configurations are obtained from the same mould.
  • the mould includes a fixed part from which most of the seat side is obtained and two exchangeable or variable parts which produce the differentiating or distinctive items or parts of each side.
  • the fixed part of the mould provides for the production of the body of the side proper, excluding the end or top finish in which the armrest is extended or jointed, as well as the lower part corresponding to the side support or anchoring means.
  • One of the exchangeable parts permits the manufacture of the top of the side and it may have different configurations, an initial configuration according to which a fixed armrest is produced as a prolongation of the upper part of the body of the side, and a second one which is used to produce end extensions to the side where the folding armrest will be attached.
  • the other exchangeable part of the mould is for producing the support area of the side, presenting different configurations depending on the surface on which the seat is to be anchored and thus, for instance, the following configurations are envisaged:
  • the folding armrest side solution makes allowance for end extensions to be prolonged at the top from the rear of the body of the side in a parallel layout, forming an empty space between them that accommodates the folding arm rear end, which pivots in relation to these extensions by means of a pin consisting of the body of a bolt which first passes through one of the extensions and then penetrates a through-hole in this end and afterwards in the other extension, to be secured finally with a nut.
  • the rear end of the armrest has a generally cylindrical shape and belongs to a support body which exhibits an elongated body of a general rectangular prismatic configuration provided with fins on each side at its base.
  • a protuberance at the top, which, together with the base fins, forms the contact surfaces of a supplementary piece, of two possible designs, with or without a glass holder, which is installed on the support to which it is attached by means of screws that pass through the base of the supplementary piece and engage in threaded holes defined in the support.
  • pedestal sides (3) i.e. for anchoring to a flat floor
  • step sides (33) for mounting on the horizontal plane of a step or stepped floor
  • step front sides (133) for installation suspended from the vertical face of steps
  • the seat sides may each comprise a fixed armrest (8) or parallel end extensions (9) for attaching folding armrests (12).
  • the sides produced in a single piece also comprise all the elements needed for bracing, for the installation of the seat and the seat, and for fitting finish covers.
  • the procedure consists of moulding the sides in a single mould which enables different configurations of the sides to be obtained, for which purpose the mould is provided with a fixed part (1) and two variable or interchangeable parts that present different configurations in accordance with the differentiating items envisaged for each side.
  • the fixed part (1) permits the production of the main body (2) of the side, common to all the side configurations, but without including the floor anchor elements, nor the upper part to which the respective armrest is attached or coupled.
  • the mould also includes an upper interchangeable piece or part (6), (66) which provides for the production, respectively, of a fixed armrest (8) and the end extensions (9) specified for the jointing of a folding armrest (12).
  • a lower interchangeable piece or part (4), (44), (144) is also used to permit production of the leg (5) and shoe (7) for resting on a flat floor or the curved leg(10) and vertical flange (11) for installing on the front face of a step.
  • this lower interchangeable part (44) is blind, so that no side element or part is produced.
  • FIGs 1 to 6 show the six different configurations of sides that may be made with the procedure covered by this invention, while the configurations of the different parts of the mould required in each case are represented in figures 7 to 12.
  • figure 1 represents a seat side with a fixed armrest (8), a leg (5) and an anchor shoe (7), for mounting on a flat floor, whether level or sloping, produced from a mould composed of a fixed part (1) and two interchangeable and variable parts (6), (4) as may be observed in figure 7.
  • Figure 2 represents a seat side with a fixed armrest (8) for installing on a step, produced from a mould consisting of a fixed part (1) and an upper interchangeable part (6).
  • the lower interchangeable part (44) will be blind so that no moulding is produced in it, as may be observed in figure 8.
  • Figure 3 represents a side with a fixed armrest (8), a curved leg (10) and a vertical flange (11) for anchoring on the front of a step, obtained from a mould consisting of a fixed part (1) and two interchangeable and variable parts (6) and (144), as may be observed in figure 9.
  • Figure 4 represents a side provided with end extensions (9) for attaching a folding armrest (12), a leg (5) and an anchor shoe (7) for installation on a flat floor, whether horizontal or sloping, produced from a mould consisting of a fixed part (1) and two interchangeable parts (66) and (4), as may be observed in figure 10.
  • Figure 5 represents a side provided with end extensions (9) for attaching a folding armrest (12) for installation on a step, produced from a mould consisting a fixed part (1) and an upper interchangeable part (66).
  • the lower interchangeable part (44) is blind so that no moulding is produced, as may be seen in figure 11.
  • Figure 6 represents a side provided with end extensions (9) for attaching a folding armrest (12), a curved leg (10) and a vertical flange (11) for installing on the front of a step, produced from a mould consisting of a fixed part (1) and two interchangeable and variable parts (66), (144), as may be seen in figure 12.
  • the end extensions (9) are prolonged rearwards and upwards from the main body (2) between which a space is defined that accommodates the rear end (13) of the folding armrest (12), which is provided with a through-hole (14) facing holes (15) defined in the end extensions (9) through which runs a bolt (16), secured with a nut (26), which acts as the pivot pin of the folding armrest (12) in respect of the main body (2).
  • the folding armrest (12) has a rear end (13) of a sensibly cylindrical shape belonging to an elongated support (17) of a generally rectangular prismatic configuration provided with fins on each side (18)at its base, which, along with a protuberance (19) located between the rear end (13) and the support (17) form the contact surfaces on which there rests a supplementary piece (20), with or without a glass-holder (21), which is attached by means of screws (22) that run through the base of the support (17) and engage in threaded holes (23) defined in the supplementary piece (20).
