Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a back for chairs, seats or the like with simplified assembly.
  • seats and chairs designed for various applications are currently constituted by various components, which are assembled either directly at the factory or at the installation site by specialized workers or by the user.
  • the components that constitute the seats and chairs provide for snap-together couplings and, especially for auxiliary components, for couplings obtained by means of threaded elements or equivalent couplings.
  • a seat, chair or the like with simplified assembly has therefore been devised and marketed and is disclosed in EP-1042976 in the name of Challenger Gestao e Consultadoria Sociedade Unipessoal Limitada; it comprises components that are applied exclusively by snap-together action and are suitable to form at least one sitting surface and at least one back.
  • the back comprises at least one rigid support, which is fixed by means of first couplings to uprights that protrude from the frame, and a body that supports a padding layer is applied by snap-together coupling to said rigid support.
  • the sitting surface comprises a rigid bottom, which is fixed by snap-together coupling to a flat supporting element; these elements are in turn fixed by snap-together coupling, by way of second engagement elements, to at least two horizontal cross-members of the frame.
  • each one of the first engagement elements is constituted by two series of mutually opposite tabs, which are suitable to form as a whole a sliding guide in which it is possible to insert a corresponding portion of upright.
  • Connecting pins cantilever out from the rigid support, on the side suitable to be coupled to the body that supports the layer of padding, and each pin is provided with a mushroom-shaped head, in which slots are provided for elastic yielding.
  • Each pin is inserted with a snap-together action in a corresponding tubular seat formed in the rigid body.
  • Positioning studs cantilever out from the body that supports the padding layer; each stud is suitable to pass through respective holes formed in the rigid support at a corresponding seat formed by one of said series of tabs and in the corresponding portion of upright inserted therein.
  • the two components of the back can be assembled directly only during manufacture, since the cantilever studs that protrude from the supporting body of the padding upon assembly must pass both through the part of the rigid support that forms the seat of the upright and through the upright.
  • the aim of the present invention is to provide a seat, chair or the like whose structure optimizes the advantages that derive from the structure cited in EP-1042976, allowing to preassemble the back completely before it is fitted to the frame.
  • an object of the present invention is to provide a back that is particularly strong and functional and allows highly ergonomic use.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a back that is easy and quick to assemble even for personnel lacking specific experience.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a back that can be manufactured at low cost with conventional equipment and systems.
  • a back for chairs, seats or the like with simplified assembly of the type that comprises a rigid support, which is fixed by means of engagement elements to uprights that protrude from a frame, a body that supports a padding being applied by snap-together coupling to said rigid support, each one of said engagement elements being constituted by a sliding guide in which it is possible to insert a corresponding portion of an upright, positioning studs protruding in a cantilever fashion from said body that supports the padding, at least one of said studs for each upright being suitable to pass through respective holes formed in said rigid support, in said sliding guide of the upright and in the corresponding portion of upright inserted therein, said back being characterized in that each one of said uprights has, on the face provided with the corresponding insertion hole for said stud, in the region comprised between said hole and the end to be inserted in said guide, a portion that tapers toward said end, said tapering portion constituting, when said rigid support is assembled to said
  • a seat is generally designated by the reference numeral 10 and comprises a frame 11 made of metal tube, to which a sitting surface 12 and a back 13 are assembled.
  • the back 13 comprises a rigid support 14 made of plastic material, which is contoured anatomically and is applied by means of respective engagement elements, described in greater detail hereinafter, to two tubular uprights 15 that protrude from the frame 11.
  • said engagement elements are constituted by two guides 21 formed on the rigid support 14; each guide is constituted by the set formed by two series of equidistant tabs 20, which are arranged opposite with respect to a longitudinally elongated central flat portion 20a and protrude from the support 14 so as to form a seat for accommodating the corresponding end portion of a corresponding upright 15.
  • the equidistant tabs 20 are conveniently flat and perpendicular with respect to the central flat portion 20a.
  • a padding 16 is applied by snap-together coupling to the rigid support 14 and is supported by a body 16a made of plastics, as described in greater detail hereinafter.
  • Pins 22 protrude in a cantilever fashion from the rigid support 14 of the back 13, and each is provided with a mushroom-shaped head 23 on which slots 24 are provided which ensure the necessary elastic yielding.
  • Each one of the pins 22 is suitable to be inserted with a snap action in a corresponding tubular seat 25 formed on the body 16a that supports the padding 16.
  • the pins 22 are conveniently arranged in the region of the back 14 that is comprised between the positions for coupling to the two uprights 15.
  • Studs 26 further protrude from the body 16a; the position of two of said studs corresponds to a respective hole 27 formed in the rigid support 14 at each one of the corresponding guides 21.
  • a hole 28 is formed in each end portion of the uprights 15.
  • each one of the uprights 15, which in this case is tubular, is provided, on the face 29 provided with the corresponding hole 28 for the insertion of the stud 26, in the region comprised between the hole 28 and the end 30 to be inserted in the guide 21, a portion 31 that tapers towards the end 30.
  • the tapering portion 31 is provided in this case by means of two parallel slits in the wall so as to form a tab that is deformed so as to tilt toward the opposite wall, which it touches with its end.
  • said tapering portion designated by the reference numeral 31a, is obtained by cold-forging the end 30a, therefore at a lower cost than the sequence of the two successive processes described above (cutting to form a tab and subsequent bending of the tab).
  • end 30a is substantially shaped into a cone or rounded as an alternative, so as to facilitate its insertion in the corresponding guide 21.
  • the tapering portion, both in the variation 31 and in the variation 31a, which is arranged at the centerline of the axis of the upright 15 like the hole 28, constitutes, when the rigid support 14 is assembled to the body 16a that supports the padding 16, during the insertion of the upright 15 in its seat of the guide 21, a guide for the head 32 of the stud 26 that forces an axial movement thereof by elastic deformation of the body 16a that supports the padding 16 (as shown in Figure 5) until the stud 26 ( Figure 6) is inserted in its corresponding hole 28 of the upright 15.
  • the elastic deformation of the body 16a is allowed by the fact that the studs 26 are arranged in regions of said body that protrude with respect to the pins 22.
  • the rigid support 14 and the body 16a that supports the padding can be preassembled before they are coupled to the frame 11 by inserting the uprights 15 in the guides 21, said insertion occurring in the manner described above.
  • the seat in fact has a structure that optimizes the advantages arising from the structure disclosed in EP-1042976, by allowing to preassemble completely the back before it is assembled to the frame.
  • the structure is particularly strong and functional and allows highly ergonomic use.
  • the back can be manufactured at a low cost with conventional equipment and facilities.
  • the materials employed, so long as they are compatible with the contingent use, as well as the dimensions, may be any according to requirements.
