Definitions

  • the present invention relates to furniture and to a method of constructing an item of furniture.
  • the present invention relates to street furniture and specifically an outdoor stool and to a method of constructing street furniture and specifically outdoor stools.
  • Items of street furniture are generally provided in parks, playgrounds, shopping precincts etc. to enable users to sit down and rest. Such seats must be weather resistant and must also be anchored to the ground to prevent the seats being easily moved, for example, to prevent the street furniture being moved by the wind or by children.
  • the seats are placed on a specially prepared foundation surface which may comprise paving slabs or the like. These paving slabs must be arranged to provide a flat surface and the seat or legs of the seat may then be anchored to the foundation surface using bolts or similar anchor members.
  • the preparation and provision of a foundation surface significantly increases the cost and expense of the provision of the seating.
  • the necessity for a foundation surface increases the installation time since the materials used within the foundation surface may be required to cure over a prolonged period prior to the seat being installed and anchored.
  • the seating arrangement and configuration is relatively permanent and it generally requires a significant amount of time and expense to rearrange the seating plan or the seating configuration. For example, all of the installed seats would need to be unanchored from the ground and new foundation surfaces would need to be installed at the new positions. This would again require further building materials being transported to the site. In addition, the new foundation surface would again have to be allowed time to set and cure prior to the seats being anchored at the new positions.
  • materials that are sustainable and are preferably recycled are preferred.
  • building materials such as concrete and cement can have a significant environmental impact and many developers prefer or require a certain proportion of recycled and/or sustainable material to be used in the apparatus and installations.
  • US 4 988 090 discloses a portable safety play furniture assembly with a lightweight chair body and a chair base for supporting the chair body against rolling or tipping.
  • the chair body has a smooth, closed cylindrical interior surface to enable a child to sit within this cylindrical space.
  • the interior surface is moulded into a cylinder with no seams on the interior surface of the cylinder to provide a smooth, glass-like and impact and splinter resistant surface to reduce the risk of injury, while at the same time facilitating sliding, relatively low friction, movement along the interior surface.
  • the assembly may have empty buffer spaces to reduce the weight of the chair body whilst the base may have cavities filled with a ballast to further increase stability.
  • GB 2 181 948 discloses a seat in the form of an enlarged container which has a flexible and resilient wall defining a space partially filled with material which will support the weight of a person seated thereon.
  • the body of the seat is arranged to collapse when a person sits upon the top portion until the body of the seat reaches the filling material.
  • the filling material subsequently provides support for the user and conforms to the user's body shape.
  • the inner core comprises a part cylindrical inner core.
  • the inner core comprises a cylindrical inner core.
  • the outer covering comprises a part cylindrical outer covering.
  • the outer covering comprises a lower face.
  • peripheral wall of the outer covering is moulded to the peripheral wall of the inner core.
  • the item of furniture comprises a closure member which is arranged, in use, to engage over the sealable opening in order to retain the ballast within the inner chamber.
  • the closure member may comprise a bung.
  • the inner core may comprise a recycled liquid chemical drum.
  • the inner core may comprise a recycled steel drum or may comprise a recycled plastic drum.
  • the inner core comprises a recycled drum and more preferably comprises a recycled oil drum.
  • the inner core may comprise a recycled metal.
  • the diameter of the item of furniture may be greater than 100mm and preferably is greater than 300mm and more preferably is greater than 400mm.
  • the sealable opening may be substantially circular.
  • the outer covering comprises a thermosetting material.
  • the thermosetting material may comprise polyurethane or epoxy. More preferably, the outer covering is produced from a two-part polyurethane.
  • the two parts of the polyurethane consist of a resin component and an isocyanate component.
  • the resin component may comprise renewable materials, and may comprise polyols which may be produced from vegetable oils.
  • the polyols may be produces from a variety of vegetable oils including castor oil, sunflower oil, peanut oil etc.
  • the polyol is produced from rapeseed oil and more preferably from locally-produced rapeseed oil.
  • the resin component may also contain fillers such as sand, chalk or fly-ash. Alternatively, these fillers can be added as a third component rather than being part of the resin component.
  • the outer covering may comprise polyurethane.
  • the outer covering may comprise a painted surface which may comprise a two-part polyurethane paint.
  • the ballast may comprise a granular material.
  • the ballast comprises sand, soil or the like.
  • the outer covering may have printed matter adhered thereto.
  • the outer covering may have a vinyl transfer applied thereto.
  • a method of manufacturing an item of furniture comprising moulding an outer covering to an inner core wherein the inner core comprises a lower face and a peripheral wall and the outer covering comprises a peripheral wall and an upper surface, the method further comprising providing an inner hollow chamber with a sealable opening, the method further comprising inserting a ballast through the sealable opening into the inner hollow chamber in order to anchor the item of furniture characterised by moulding the outer covering to an inner metal core.
  • the method may comprise collecting ballast material from the site adjacent to the installation site of the item of furniture.
  • the method may comprise inverting or at least partially inverting the item of furniture whilst filling the inner hollow chamber with ballast material.
  • the present invention provides an item of furniture and, in particular, an item of street furniture.
  • the item of street furniture comprises a stool 10.
  • the present invention provides an interior chamber 11 into which a ballast 15 can be located in order to weigh the stool 10 down.
  • This ballast 15 inhibits the easy movement of the stool 10 and, in particular, prevents the inadvertent movement of the stool 10.
  • the stool 10 is a very simple and plain stool which is essentially a cylinder.
  • the stool 10 is very versatile and comprises a simple cylindrical shape.
  • the stool 10 can be quickly and easily installed at any suitable location and, in particular, can be included in outside areas, for example, parks, school playgrounds and shopping precincts. At these locations, several stools 10 can be provided which can be arranged in any pre-determined pattern or configuration, for example a snake like line.
  • the stool 10 is provided in a selected bright colour and can also be manufactured with emblems and/or logos moulded onto the surface or may be provided with externally applied transfers.
  • the stool 10 is both practical and has environmental benefits with respect to prior art stools.
  • the stool 10 is essentially a cylinder having a lower circular face 16, an upper circular face 12 and a peripheral wall 14 connecting the respective edges of the upper face 12 and lower face 16.
  • the lower face 16 rests on the ground and supports the stool 10.
  • the upper face 12 provides the seating surface for users.
  • the stool 10 includes an inner hollow chamber 11 in which a ballast 15 can be contained in order to anchor the stool 10 to the ground and inhibit easy movement of the stool 10.
  • the ballast thereby provides the stool with significant stability.
  • the stool 10 is relatively lightweight when the inner hollow chamber 11 is empty but when the inner hollow chamber 11 is filled or partially filled with a ballast 15 the stool 10 is relatively heavy.
  • the amount of ballast 15 directly influences the weight of the stool 10 and, the user can directly and easily select an appropriate amount and weight of ballast for the particular circumstances.
  • the cylindrical stool 10 comprises an inner core and an outer covering.
  • the inner core is essentially cylindrical and comprises an upper face 22, a lower face 26 and a peripheral wall 24 connecting the respective edges of the upper face 22 and the lower face 26.
  • the inner core defines the inner hollow chamber 11 at the stool 10.
  • the inner core provides the strength for the stool 10.
  • the inner core comprises a metal and in the preferred embodiment the inner core is steel and specifically rolled steel.
  • the steel may be recycled steel.
  • the inner core is a conventional 200 litre mild steel drum, manufactured with no specific contents in mind.
  • the drum is ideally a recycled drum.
  • the inner core may comprise a recycled oil drum.
  • the oil drum is a conventional and standard 210 litre oil drum which is cut down in size.
  • the outer covering can be applied to the inner core.
  • the outer core comprises a thermosetting material which is moulded on to the inner core.
  • an outer covering of approximately 10 mm thickness is moulded to the upper face 22, lower face 26 and peripheral wall 24 of the inner core.
  • the outer covering is also provided with an opening 38 which corresponds with the opening 28 of the inner core in order to provide the ballast entry opening in the stool 10.
  • thermosetting material proves a tough and weather resistant material which can withstand rain, wind and sun without any significant deterioration or degradation.
  • the thermosetting material comprises a resin including chemical(s) derived from a renewable source(s).
  • the chemical(s) are derived from rapeseed oil.
  • the resin has two important fillers contained within it.
  • the fillers are waste fly-ash from power stations and granulated rubber from waste tyres. Accordingly, it can be seen that the present invention is manufactured from recycled materials and renewable materials.
  • the outer covering comprises a environmental polyurethane and/or a "green" polyurethane.
  • the outer covering comprises a pigmented material which uses an environmentally friendly rapeseed oil with the capacity to colour the polyurethane casting material to complement the product paint colour.
  • the material of the outer covering may comprise a rigid polyurethane foam.
  • thermosetting material Once the thermosetting material has been applied, the assembly is painted using a high quality two-part polyurethane paint. This gives a bright, glossy finish which does not chip and does not fade under bright lighting conditions.
