Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a seat with back support. More specifically, the invention relates to a seat stamped out of a sheet of cardboard consisting of parts which are folded along fold lines and glued so as to produce a folding seat with back support.
  • the invention is intended for use at festivals and the like.
  • Participating in festivals requires a great deal of standing and sitting on the ground. This may result in both the back and legs becoming tired. In order to rest the back, it is an advantage to have a seat device with back support.
  • Seat devices intended for festivals can be found in the form of deckchairs and other folding chairs. Storing these chairs requires a relatively large space, and even though the weight per chair is not necessarily so very great, a large number of chairs will represent a "considerable weight. There is a need for a type of seat device which is light and easy to move, and where a substantial number can be stored in as small a space as possible. The seat device, moreover, should be easy and inexpensive to produce.
  • US-4385782 describes how a seat can be made from cardboard. This seat has several drawbacks, one of which is that it is relatively flimsy and therefore unable to stand the strain when one leans against the back support for a long period.
  • US-5020854 describes a seat which has a back support that will stand more weight, and will be better suited for leaning against than the seat described in the previous paragraph. Nevertheless it is not particularly suitable for use at arrangements where a great many people are gathered, since the part that holds up the back support is exposed to blows or kicks which may cause the back support to give way.
  • the present invention solves the above-mentioned problems, and describes a folding seat device in the form of a seat with a solid back support.
  • a stamped-out piece of cardboard is folded along fold lines and glue is applied to some parts in order to form a seat with a back support. After this, the chair is folded up so that it becomes completely flat and thereby suitable for stacking, storage and transport.
  • the present invention describes a seat with back support which is made of a sheet of cardboard stamped out in one piece which is folded along fold lines and glued so that the seat is formed by means of folding and gluing operations.
  • the inventive feature of the seat is that it can be converted from a folded to an unfolded state by means of one folding operation. This is made possible by side members which have a fold line that causes the side members to be folded in between a back support and a rear panel, and moreover that a part of an underside located between the back support and the rear panel has a fold line that causes it to be unfolded from the two last-mentioned parts when the seat is folded up.
  • the seat has a high reuse value and is particularly well suited for use at concerts and festivals held outdoors.
  • the invention also describes how to fold and glue different parts of a sheet of cardboard in order to provide a seat according to the invention.
  • Figure 1 illustrates an example of a stamped-out cardboard sheet with a shape which forms the basis for making the seat according to the invention
  • Figure 2 illustrates the unfolded seat viewed partly from behind
  • Figure 3 illustrates the folded seat viewed from the side
  • Figure 4 illustrates details in a folded seat.
  • Figure 1 illustrates an example of a basis for making a seat 1.
  • the seat 1 with back support 2 is made of a sheet of cardboard 3 stamped out in one piece which is folded along fold lines, thereby forming the seat 1 by means of folding and gluing operations.
  • the cardboard sheet 3 comprises a plurality of parts which are interconnected at the fold lines, and where the parts comprise a sitting surface 8, a back support 2, two side members 5, 5', a rear panel 9 and an underside 6.
  • the seat 1 can be converted from a folded to an unfolded state by one folding operation which is made possible by the side members 5, 5' having a fold line which causes the side members 5, 5' to be folded in between the back support 2 and the rear plate 9, and moreover the part of the underside 6 located between the back support 2 and the rear panel 9 has a fold line that causes it to be unfolded from the two last-mentioned parts when the seat 1 is folded up.
  • Small grooves 7, 7' are preferably made in the cardboard sheet 3 in order to ease the load at a stress point.
  • the grooves 7, 7' are in the form of a curve in order to distribute the forces outwards in the transition between the sitting surface 8 and the back support 2.
  • the cardboard sheet is further provided with a handle 10 and a flap 11 for inserting in a groove 12 which will be described in greater detail below.
  • the letters A to D indicate fold lines, and each letter describes how the different surfaces bordering on the fold lines should be folded in order to assemble a seat according to the invention, and in order to open or fold up the seat.
  • a and B indicate folding operations required to make the seat by means of folding and gluing operations.
  • A indicates that the surfaces bordering on this fold line are folded up from the paper plane, and B indicates that the surfaces bordering on this fold line are folded down in the paper plane.
  • One of the side members 5 has a fold line that forms a first locking part 4 which is glued to the lateral edge of the rear panel 9.
  • the bottom part of the sitting surface 8 has a lower part 13, with a second locking part 14, both of which are glued to the underside of the sitting surface 8.
  • the groove 12 is stamped out and forms a part of the locking mechanism when the seat is folded up.
  • the locking part 14 is preferably glued to the underside of the sitting surface 8, close against and flush with the edge of the underside 6 which is also glued to the underside of the sitting surface 8.
  • Figure 2 illustrates the seat that results when the folding operations A and B as well as the gluing described above have been completed.
  • the seat is then operative in the sense that it can be used to sit on.
  • parts of the underside 6 are glued to the underside of the sitting surface 8.
  • a folding seat 1 with back support 2 by means of a sheet of cardboard 3 stamped out in one piece with parts and fold lines as described above, the parts are folded along the fold lines A and B so that the side members 5, 5' are at 90° to the back support 2 and the rear panel 9. Furthermore a first locking part 4 in one side member 5 is glued to the lateral edge of the rear panel 9, thereby forming a cavity between the back support 2, the rear panel 9 and the side members 5, 5'. The underside 6 is at around 60° to the rear panel 9 and the back support 2, thereby closing the said cavity. Finally, a lower part 13, which is at 180° to the sitting surface 8, is glued with a second locking part 14 to the underside 6.
  • C and D in figures 1 and 2 indicate folding operations required for opening and folding up the operative seat.
  • C indicates that the surfaces bordering on this fold line are folded up from the paper plane
  • D indicates that the surfaces bordering on this fold line are folded down in the paper plane.
  • Figure 3 illustrates the seat 1 in a folded state with parts of the underside 6 located between the rear panel 9 and the underside 6 which is glued to the underside of the sitting surface 8.
  • a protuberance 15 marking the edge of the groove 12 shown in figure 1.
  • the handle 10 for carrying the folded seat is also shown.
  • Figure 4 illustrates details of the folded seat, and how the folded position is secured by the seat 1 being provided with a flap 11 in the upper part of the back support 2 and a groove 12 in the lower end of the sitting surface 8 for receiving the flap 11, thereby fastening them to each other.
