Description
La présente invention se rapporte à un meuble utilisé pour s'asseoir ou pour s'étendre, notamment un fauteuil, une chaise, un canapé, un lit ou analogue comportant un élément, notamment une têtière, pouvant passer entre deux positions et/ou deux états, ainsi qu'à un ensemble comportant un meuble utilisé pour s'asseoir ou pour s'étendre, notamment un fauteuil, une chaise, un canapé, un lit ou analogue et un élément pouvant passer entre deux positions et/ou deux états, l'élément étant distinct du meuble, par exemple l'élément pouvant être une porte de meuble de télévision, à distance du canapé, une télévision, un système de sonorisation, une porte de bar, une table mobile, etc.The present invention relates to a furniture used to sit or to extend, including an armchair, a chair, a sofa, a bed or the like comprising an element, including a headrest, which can pass between two positions and / or two states, and an assembly comprising a piece of furniture used to sit or to extend, including an armchair, a chair, a sofa, a bed or the like and an element that can pass between two positions and / or two states, the element being distinct from the piece of furniture, for example the element that can be a television cabinet door, away from the sofa, a television, a sound system, a bar door, a mobile table, etc.
On connaît déjà dans l'art antérieur des canapés comportant une têtière montée de manière à pouvoir pivoter entre deux ou plusieurs positions, notamment une position abaissée et une position relevée, dans laquelle elle soutient la tête de la personne assise sur le canapé. Il est aussi connu de prévoir un système pour commander le déplacement de la têtière entre les deux positions relevée et abaissée, à savoir un système électrique qui commande l'activation/désactivation d'un moteur électrique entraînant un système mécanique lié à la têtière. L'utilisateur, lorsqu'il veut mettre la têtière dans la position dans laquelle elle supporte sa tête, commande, notamment par l'intermédiaire de boutons de commande, l'actionnement du moteur, ce qui entraîne en rotation la têtière jusqu'à la position relevée souhaitée. Ces canapés de l'art antérieur sont assez compliqués à utiliser, et notamment l'utilisateur doit, chaque fois qu'il s'assoit, régler la têtière dans la position appropriée dont il a envie, notamment en maintenant appuyé un bouton, puis, lorsqu'il quitte le canapé, il doit rabaisser la têtière dans sa position abaissée ou de repos, pour éviter que le système mécanique lié à la têtière ne soit détérioré par ur choc ou autre, le système mécanique n'étant pas, lorsque la têtière se trouve en position relevée, protégé d'une manière aussi sûre que lorsqu'elle est en position abaissée. En effet, dans la position abaissée, le système mécanique de déplacement de la têtière n'apparaît pas à l'extérieur et est donc protégé.Already known in the prior art sofas having a headrest mounted so as to pivot between two or more positions, including a lowered position and a raised position, in which it supports the head of the person sitting on the couch. It is also known to provide a system for controlling the movement of the headrest between the two raised and lowered positions, namely an electrical system that controls the activation / deactivation of an electric motor driving a mechanical system connected to the headrest. The user, when he wants to put the headrest in the position in which it supports its head, controls, in particular via control buttons, the actuation of the motor, which causes rotation of the headrest to the desired raised position. These sofas of the prior art are quite complicated to use, and in particular the user must, each time he sits, adjust the headrest in the appropriate position he wants, including holding a button, then, when he leaves the sofa, he must lower the headrest in its lowered or rest position, to prevent the mechanical system connected to the headrest from being damaged by shock or otherwise, the mechanical system not being, when the headrest is in the raised position, also protected sure when in the lowered position. Indeed, in the lowered position, the mechanical system of movement of the headrest does not appear outside and is therefore protected.

La présente invention vise à surmonter les inconvénients de l'art antérieur en proposant un meuble utilisé pour s'asseoir ou s'allonger, notamment un fauteuil, une chaise, un lit ou un canapé, qui surmonte les inconvénients de l'art antérieur, et en particulier qui est très simple d'utilisation, et dont le système de commande de l'élément pouvant prendre deux positions ou états, par exemple le système de déplacement de la têtière, a une longue durée de vie.The present invention aims to overcome the disadvantages of the prior art by providing a furniture used to sit or lie down, including an armchair, a chair, a bed or a sofa, which overcomes the disadvantages of the prior art, and in particular which is very easy to use, and whose control system of the element can take two positions or states, for example the system of movement of the headrest, has a long life.
Selon l'invention, un meuble utilisé pour s'asseoir ou s'allonger, notamment un fauteuil, une chaise, un lit ou un canapé est tel que défini à la revendication 1.According to the invention, a piece of furniture used to sit or lie down, in particular an armchair, a chair, a bed or a sofa, is as defined in claim 1.

En outre, une têtière 7 (une seule têtière est représentée aux figures pour la place de gauche sur le canapé, sachant que l'on peut également prévoir une têtière pour l'autre place ou une têtière commune aux deux places) est montée au dessus du dossier 9 de manière à pouvoir pivoter par rapport au bord supérieur de ce dernier, entre une position abaissée dans laquelle elle est sensiblement à l'horizontale en reposant sur le bord supérieur du dossier 9 et une position relevée inclinée vers le haut, notamment d'un angle qui peut être compris notamment entre 0 et 120°, de préférence entre environ 40 à 60° comme représenté à la
Le canapé comporte en outre deux accoudoirs 8 et 10 gauche et droite. Dans l'accoudoir 10, il est logé un système électrique 19 de commande, notamment à l'aide de circuits intégrés bien connus dans le domaine, qui est relié à un moteur 20 électrique incorporé dans le dossier qui entraîne le système mécanique lié à la têtière pour faire pivoter cette dernière entre ses deux positions abaissée et relevée et vice-versa. Ce système de commande de têtière par moteur électrique est bien connu dans le domaine et n'est pas décrit plus en détail ci-dessous. Il est prévu de pouvoir mémoriser plusieurs positions de têtière en fonction de chaque utilisateur, notamment en fonction du poids de l'utilisateur.The sofa also has two
Entre l'assise 2 et le coussin 4, il est monté un capteur 11 de pression destiné à capter la pression appliquée sur le coussin 4, notamment le poids d'une personne s'asseyant sur le coussin 4. Ce système de capteur est bien connu dans le domaine et n'est pas décrit plus en détail. Il est relié électriquement au système de commande électrique incorporé dans l'accoudoir. Suivant un autre mode de réalisation, plus simple et ne comportant pas de système de commande intégré à l'accoudoir, on peut prévoir qu'il soit directement relié au moteur d'entraînement de la têtière. On peut également prévoir une combinaison de ces deux modes de réalisation.Between the
En position de non utilisation du canapé (c'est à dire qu'il n'y a personne d'assis sur la partie d'assise), la têtière repose à plat sur le bord supérieur du dossier 9 du canapé. Lorsqu'une personne s'assoit sur le coussin 4, le capteur de pression détecte la présence de la personne sur le canapé, et notamment son poids. Le capteur de pression transmet alors un signal au système électronique de commande intégré dans l'accoudoir par l'intermédiaire de fils conducteurs électriques ou par une technologie sans fil, par exemple par ondes HF. A la réception du signal, le système de commande actionne le moteur pour qu'il entraîne le système mécanique lié à la têtière, pour amener la têtière en position relevée dans laquelle elle supporte la tête de l'utilisateur assis sur la partie d'assise.In the non-use position of the sofa (that is, there is no one sitting on the seat part), the headrest rests flat on the upper edge of the backrest 9 of the sofa. When a person sits on the
Lorsque la personne quitte le canapé, le capteur de pression détecte ce fait et, par exemple soit immédiatement, soit au bout d'un certain intervalle de temps donné à l'avance, transmet un signal correspondant au système électronique de commande qui actionne alors le moteur pour que ce dernier entraîne dans l'autre sens la têtière pour la ramener en position abaissée contre le bord supérieur du dossier.When the person leaves the couch, the pressure sensor detects this fact and, for example either immediately or after a certain time interval given in advance, transmits a signal corresponding to the electronic control system which then actuates the motor for the latter to drive the headrest in the other direction to bring it back into the lowered position against the edge upper folder.
Ainsi, le système suivant l'invention est particulièrement simple d'utilisation, puisque l'utilisateur n'a plus à agir, soit manuellement sur la têtière, soit en appuyant sur des boutons, pour positionner la têtière lorsqu'il s'assoit sur le canapé, la têtière se mettant en position de support de tête d'elle-même sans que l'utilisateur n'ait rien à faire. En outre, lorsque l'utilisateur quitte le canapé, il n'a pas besoin non plus de ramener la têtière en position abaissée, ce qu'il a souvent tendance à oublier de faire dans les systèmes de l'art antérieur, ceci prenant beaucoup de temps. Il en résulte que la têtière est plus souvent au cours de sa vie en position abaissée, position qui est préférable pour que la durée de vie du système mécanique d'entraînement de la têtière soit prolongée. En effet, en position relevée, le système mécanique est plus susceptible d'être détérioré, par exemple par un choc.Thus, the system according to the invention is particularly simple to use, since the user no longer has to act, either manually on the headrest, or by pressing buttons, to position the headrest when it sits on the sofa, the headrest putting itself in the head support position of itself without the user having anything to do. In addition, when the user leaves the couch, he also does not need to bring the headrest down, which he often tends to forget to do in the systems of the prior art, this taking a lot of time. As a result, the headrest is more often during its life in the lowered position, a position which is preferable for the life of the mechanical drive system of the headrest is extended. Indeed, in the raised position, the mechanical system is more likely to be damaged, for example by a shock.
Suivant un mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention, on peut également mémoriser dans le système de commande électronique du moteur électrique des positions préréglées de la position relevée de la têtière, de sorte que, lorsqu'une personne s'assoit, les signaux envoyés par le capteur déclenche le moteur pour qu'il amène la têtière dans une des positions préenregistrées en fonction du poids de la personne ou dans la dernière position mémorisée, permettant ainsi pour chaque occupant de la maison d'avoir à disposition une position préréglée de la têtière qui lui convient de manière automatique.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, it is also possible to memorize in the electronic control system of the electric motor preset positions of the raised position of the headrest, so that, when a person sits, the signals sent by the sensor triggers the motor to bring the headrest into one of the prerecorded positions according to the weight of the person or in the last stored position, thus allowing for each occupant of the house to have available a preset position of the headrest that suits him automatically.
Suivant encore un autre mode de réalisation, on peut également prévoir des moyens qui bloquent automatiquement le moteur et donc la rotation de la têtière lorsque la têtière vient en contact avec la tête de l'utilisateur, pour ainsi prendre sa position relevée finale.According to yet another embodiment, it is also possible to provide means which automatically block the motor and therefore the rotation of the headrest when the headrest comes into contact with the user's head, thus to take its final raised position.
Suivant un mode de réalisation, le système mécanique lié à la têtière n'apparaît à l'extérieur que dans la position relevée de la têtière.According to one embodiment, the mechanical system connected to the headrest appears on the outside only in the raised position of the headrest.
Suivant un autre mode de réalisation, le système mécanique lié à la têtière n'apparaît pas à l'extérieur dans aucune des positions de la têtière.According to another embodiment, the mechanical system connected to the headrest does not appear outside in any of the positions of the headrest.
A la
Ainsi, le système suivant l'invention est particulièrement simple d'utilisation, puisque l'utilisateur n'a plus à agir, soit manuellement sur la télévision, soit en appuyant sur des boutons, pour allumer la télévision lorsqu'il s'assoit sur le canapé, la télévision s'allumant d'elle-même sans que l'utilisateur n'ait rien à faire. En outre, lorsque l'utilisateur quitte le canapé, il n'a pas besoin non plus d'éteindre la télévision, ce qu'il a souvent tendance à oublier de faire dans les systèmes de l'art antérieur, ceci prenant beaucoup de temps. Il en résulte que la télévision est plus souvent au cours de sa vie à l'état éteint, état qui est préférable pour que sa durée de vie soit prolongée.Thus, the system according to the invention is particularly simple to use, since the user no longer has to act, either manually on the television, or by pressing buttons, to turn on the television when he sits on the couch, the television lighting up of itself without the user having anything to do . In addition, when the user leaves the couch, he also does not need to turn off the television, which he often tends to forget to do in the systems of the prior art, this taking a lot of time . As a result, television is more often during its life in the off state, a state that is preferable for its lifetime to be prolonged.
