Description

L'invention concerne un siège convertible en lit à modules et un kit d'assemblage d'un tel siège.The invention relates to a convertible seat module bed and an assembly kit of such a seat.

On connaît du document US 2013/255044A1 décrit un système d'ameublement doté au moins d'un mobilier et d'une autre unité d'ameublement, l'autre unité d'ameublement pouvant être positionnée relativement par rapport au mobilier.Document is known US 2013 / 255044A1 describes a furniture system with at least one furniture and another furniture unit, the other furniture unit being relatively positionable relative to the furniture.

Généralement, les canapés convertibles en lit comprennent un premier sommier constituant l'assise et un second sommier constituant le dossier du canapé, et une embase sur laquelle repose l'assise. Les deux sommiers sont articulés de sorte que le second sommier pivote entre une position relevée dans laquelle il constitue le dossier de canapé, et une position abaissée dans laquelle il forme avec le premier sommier un lit continu.Generally, convertible sofas bed include a first bed base constituting the seat and a second bed frame constituting the back of the sofa, and a base on which rests the seat. The two mattresses are articulated so that the second bed frame pivots between a raised position in which it constitutes the sofa back, and a lowered position in which it forms with the first mattress a continuous bed.

De nombreux modèles de canapé et de fauteuil convertibles en lit sont déjà connus. Cependant, tous les modèles connus sont généralement lourds et volumineux, ce qui non seulement complique leur transport mais également augmente l'encombrement.Many models of sofa and convertible armchair in bed are already known. However, all known models are generally heavy and bulky, which not only complicates their transport but also increases the size.

De plus, les modèles intégrant un matelas replié à l'intérieur du canapé lorsque ce dernier est en position de canapé présentent généralement un confort moindre au niveau du couchage que le confort d'un lit traditionnel. La dégradation du confort de couchage est généralement due à l'épaisseur réduite du matelas utilisé, l'épaisseur du matelas étant limitée en fonction du logement prévu pour le matelas une fois le canapé plié. La dégradation du confort est également due à l'écrasement du matelas dans l'assise lorsque le canapé est plié. En effet, l'écrasement réduit la souplesse et l'élasticité avec le temps, et donc la capacité d'amortissement du matelas.In addition, models incorporating a folded mattress inside the couch when the latter is in the couch position generally have a lower comfort in sleeping than the comfort of a traditional bed. The deterioration of the sleeping comfort is generally due to the reduced thickness of the mattress used, the thickness of the mattress being limited according to the housing provided for the mattress once the sofa folded. The degradation of comfort is also due to the crushing of the mattress in the seat when the sofa is folded. Indeed, crushing reduces flexibility and elasticity over time, and therefore the damping capacity of the mattress.

Les modèles connus présentent également un choix limité dans la forme et le style et ne sont pas souvent très esthétiques.Known models also have a limited choice in form and style and are often not very aesthetic.

L'invention se propose de résoudre les problèmes mentionnés ci-dessus en fournissant un siège comme défini dans la revendication 1, convertible en lit à structure modulaire permettant une variété de configurations différentes et permettant de faciliter le transport.The invention proposes to solve the aforementioned problems by providing a seat as defined in claim 1, convertible into a modular structure bed allowing a variety of different configurations and to facilitate transport.

Selon un aspect de l'invention, il est proposé un siège modulable convertible en lit comprenant une assise, un dossier et au moins une articulation mécanique montée entre l'assise et le dossier apte à faire pivoter le dossier entre une position relevée et une position abaissée.According to one aspect of the invention, there is provided a modular seat convertible into a bed comprising a seat, a backrest and at least one mechanical joint mounted between the seat and the backrest able to rotate the backrest between a raised position and a lowered position.

Selon une caractéristique générale de l'invention, l'assise et le dossier ont chacun une structure modulaire, l'assise comprenant au moins un premier module élémentaire et le dossier comprenant au moins un second module élémentaire, le premier et le second modules élémentaires comportant chacun des moyens de solidarisation réversibles destinés à la fixation réversible d'un module élémentaire additionnel.According to a general characteristic of the invention, the seat and the backrest each have a modular structure, the seat comprising at least a first elementary module and the backrest comprising at least a second elementary module, the first and the second elementary modules comprising each of the reversible securing means for the reversible attachment of an additional elementary module.

Les moyens de solidarisation permettent, d'une part, de solidariser ainsi un premier module élémentaire avec un module élémentaire additionnel qui est préférentiellement un autre premier module élémentaire et, d'autre part, de solidariser un second module élémentaire avec un module élémentaire additionnel qui est préférentiellement un autre second module élémentaire. Le siège peut ainsi être modulé selon des configurations différentes permettant de former par exemple un fauteuil, un canapé deux places, un canapé trois places ou un canapé d'angle.The securing means make it possible, on the one hand, to thereby secure a first elementary module with an additional elementary module which is preferably another first elementary module and, on the other hand, to secure a second elementary module with an additional elementary module which is preferably another second elementary module. The seat can thus be modulated in different configurations to form for example an armchair, a two-seater sofa, a three-seater sofa or a corner sofa.

Les moyens de solidarisation étant réversibles, le siège peut facilement être reconfiguré, ou même démonté en modules élémentaires ce qui permet de faciliter son transport par rapport à un canapé lit traditionnel.The securing means being reversible, the seat can easily be reconfigured, or even disassembled in basic modules which facilitates its transport compared to a traditional sofa bed.

De préférence, le siège comprend un coussin par module élémentaire, chaque coussin ayant la même épaisseur.Preferably, the seat comprises a cushion per elementary module, each cushion having the same thickness.

L'utilisation d'un coussin par module permet de faciliter le transport du siège lorsque celui-ci est démonté. Un matelas est d'autant plus difficile à porter et à manipuler qu'il est grand et épais, non seulement à cause du poids mais aussi à cause de sa grande souplesse. En scindant le matelas en modules, le transport est facilité et l'encombrement est réduit étant donné que les coussins peuvent être empilés ou séparés pour le transport.The use of a cushion per module makes it easier to transport the seat when it is disassembled. A mattress is all the more difficult to wear and handle because it is large and thick, not only because of the weight but also because of its flexibility. By splitting the mattress into modules, transport is facilitated and space is reduced as the cushions can be stacked or separated for transport.

De plus, l'utilisation d'un coussin par module permet de changer facilement la configuration du siège en ajoutant ou retirant un module et son coussin.In addition, the use of a cushion per module makes it easy to change the configuration of the seat by adding or removing a module and its cushion.

L'utilisation de coussins de même épaisseur permet de s'assurer que, lorsque le dossier est pivoté dans la position abaissée pour que le siège forme un lit, le matelas formé par les coussins ait une épaisseur uniforme.The use of cushions of the same thickness makes it possible to ensure that, when the backrest is pivoted into the lowered position so that the seat forms a bed, the mattress formed by the cushions has a uniform thickness.

Avantageusement, les modules élémentaires peuvent comprendre des pieds, au moins un des pieds du ou des module(s) élémentaire(s) formant le dossier étant escamotable.Advantageously, the elementary modules may include feet, at least one of the feet of the module (s) elementary (s) forming the folder being retractable.

Le caractère escamotable des pieds des modules élémentaires formant le dossier, c'est-à-dire des seconds modules élémentaires, permet, d'une part, d'éviter que les pieds ne sortent ou ne soient visibles lorsque le dossier du siège est pivoté dans la position relevée, et, d'autre part, de maintenir le dossier à la même hauteur que l'assise lorsqu'il est pivoté dans la position abaissée et que les premiers modules formant l'assise comprennent des pieds.The retractable nature of the feet of the elementary modules forming the backrest, that is to say the second elementary modules, allows, firstly, to prevent the feet from coming out or being visible when the seat back is rotated in the raised position, and, secondly, to maintain the backrest at the same height as the seat when pivoted in the lowered position and the first modules forming the seat include feet.

Les pieds peuvent avantageusement comprendre des roulettes pour améliorer la mobilité du siège modulable convertible lorsqu'il est assemblé.The feet may advantageously comprise rollers to improve the mobility of the convertible modular seat when assembled.

Avantageusement, le siège peut comprendre un panneau frontal apte à être fixé de manière réversible au(x)dit(s) module(s) élémentaire(s) formant l'assise du siège de manière à obturer au moins partiellement l'espace en regard de la face du ou des module(s) formant l'assise exempte de coussins.Advantageously, the seat may comprise a front panel adapted to be reversibly fixed to said module (s) elementary (s) forming the seat of the seat so as to close at least partially the space next to the face of the module (s) forming the seat without cushions.

Le panneau frontal permet d'améliorer l'esthétique du siège en cachant notamment les pieds éventuels.The front panel can improve the aesthetics of the seat including hiding feet.

De préférence, le panneau frontal comprend une pluralité de portions de panneaux assemblés en une structure pliable.Preferably, the front panel comprises a plurality of panel portions assembled into a foldable structure.

La réalisation du panneau frontal en une pluralité de portions de panneaux articulées les unes par rapport aux autres permet de réduire l'encombrement lorsque le siège est démonté pour son transport. La réduction de l'encombrement est notable pour un canapé deux ou trois places par exemple.The realization of the front panel in a plurality of panel portions articulated relative to each other reduces the space when the seat is disassembled for transport. The reduction in size is notable for a sofa two or three places for example.

Le siège peut également comprendre un panneau arrière apte à être fixé de manière réversible au(x)dit(s) module(s) élémentaire(s) formant le dossier du siège de manière à obturer au moins la face du ou des module(s) élémentaire(s) formant le dossier exempte de coussin lorsque le dossier est en position relevée.The seat may also include a rear panel adapted to be reversibly fixed to said module (s) elementary (s) forming the seat back so as to close at least the face of the or elementary module (s) forming the backrest without a cushion when the backrest is in the raised position.

Le panneau arrière permet d'améliorer l'esthétique du siège en cachant toute la face arrière du dossier, correspondant à la face inférieure du dossier lorsque le dossier est pivoté dans la position abaissée. Ainsi, le siège peut être placé en plein milieu d'une pièce sans que l'esthétique n'en soit affectée, les pieds escamotés et la structure du siège étant cachée par le panneau arrière.The rear panel improves the aesthetics of the seat by hiding the entire back of the backrest, corresponding to the underside of the backrest when the backrest is rotated in the lowered position. Thus, the seat can be placed in the middle of a room without the aesthetics is affected, the legs retracted and the seat structure is hidden by the rear panel.

Le panneau arrière est enlevé lorsque le dossier est pivoté en position abaissée pour former le lit.The rear panel is removed when the backrest is rotated to the lowered position to form the bed.

De préférence, le panneau arrière comprend une pluralité de portions de panneaux assemblés en une structure pliable.Preferably, the back panel comprises a plurality of panel portions assembled into a foldable structure.

La réalisation du panneau arrière en une pluralité de portions de panneaux articulées permet de réduire l'encombrement et ainsi de ranger le panneau arrière plié plus facilement, notamment lorsque le siège modulable convertible est en position de lit, position dans laquelle le panneau arrière n'est pas fixé au siège.The realization of the rear panel in a plurality of portions of hinged panels reduces the size and thus to store the folded back panel more easily, especially when the convertible modular seat is in the bed position, position in which the rear panel n ' is not attached to the seat.

Le siège peut avantageusement comprendre deux modules latéraux aptes à être solidarisés de manière réversible à un premier module élémentaire.The seat may advantageously comprise two lateral modules able to be reversibly secured to a first elementary module.

Les panneaux latéraux permettent de cacher la structure du siège sur les parties latérales. Ils permettent également de fournir d'éventuels accoudoirs pour le siège et/ou une tête de lit.The side panels allow to hide the seat structure on the side parts. They also allow to provide possible armrests for the seat and / or headboard.

L'utilisation des moyens de solidarisation réversible permet de monter et démonter les panneaux latéraux à loisir, et de réduire le nombre de pièces de montage.The use of the reversible fastening means allows to mount and dismount the side panels at leisure, and reduce the number of mounting parts.

Avantageusement, chaque module latéral peut comporter deux portions articulées l'une par rapport à l'autre de manière à plier le module latéral.Advantageously, each lateral module may comprise two portions articulated with respect to each other so as to fold the lateral module.

La réalisation des modules latéraux en deux portions articulées permet de réduire l'encombrement des modules latéraux lorsqu'ils sont démontés, le module latéral mesurant à l'état plié une fraction de sa dimension à l'état déplié.The realization of the lateral modules in two articulated portions makes it possible to reduce the bulk of the lateral modules when they are disassembled, the lateral module measuring in the folded state a fraction of its dimension in the unfolded state.

Dans une variante, la réalisation des modules latéraux en deux portions articulées peut permettre d'utiliser un module latéral à l'état plié comme accoudoir lorsque le siège convertible est en position relevée et forme un siège, et d'utiliser le même module latéral à l'état déplié comme une tête de lit lorsque le siège convertible est en position abaissée pour former un lit.In a variant, the embodiment of the lateral modules in two articulated portions can make it possible to use a lateral module in the folded state as an armrest when the convertible seat is in the raised position and forms a seat, and to use the same lateral module to the unfolded state as a headboard when the convertible seat is in the lowered position to form a bed.

De préférence, les coussins ont les mêmes dimensions. Il est ainsi possible d'utiliser les mêmes coussins pour l'assise ou le dossier.Preferably, the cushions have the same dimensions. It is thus possible to use the same cushions for the seat or the backrest.

Dans un mode de réalisation, les premier(s) et second(s) modules élémentaires sont identiques.In one embodiment, the first (s) and second (s) elementary modules are identical.

En ayant des premier(s) et second(s) modules identiques, le montage est facilité et le nombre de configurations possibles accru.By having first and second identical modules, editing is facilitated and the number of possible configurations increased.

Les modules élémentaires peuvent chacun comprendre un sommier à lattes flexibles pour supporter les coussins.The elementary modules can each include a flexible slatted frame to support the cushions.

Par ailleurs, les coussins peuvent être déhoussables pour faciliter le lavage des housses de coussin et/ou permettre un changement de housse.In addition, the cushions can be removable to facilitate the washing of the cushion covers and / or allow a change of cover.

Selon un autre aspect de l'invention, il est proposé un module élémentaire configuré pour appartenir à un siège modulable convertible en lit tel que défini ci-dessus, le module élémentaire étant destiné à être utilisé comme un premier ou un second module élémentaire ou un module élémentaire additionnel.According to another aspect of the invention, there is provided an elementary module configured to belong to a modular seat convertible into a bed as defined above, the elementary module being intended to be used as a first or a second elementary module or a module. additional elementary module.

Il est également proposé un kit d'assemblage d'un siège modulable convertible en lit tel que défini ci-dessus.It is also proposed an assembly kit of a modular seat convertible into a bed as defined above.

D'autres avantages et caractéristiques de l'invention apparaîtront à l'examen de la description détaillée d'un mode de réalisation de l'invention nullement limitatif, et des dessins annexés, sur lesquels :

  • la figure 1 représente, de manière schématique, une vue éclatée en perspective d'un siège modulable convertible en lit selon un mode de réalisation de l'invention ;
  • la figure 2 représente une vue en perspective de dessus du siège illustré sur la figure 1 converti en lit.
Other advantages and characteristics of the invention will appear on examining the detailed description of an embodiment of the invention which is in no way limitative, and the appended drawings, in which:
  • the figure 1 schematically represents an exploded perspective view of a modular convertible bed seat according to one embodiment of the invention;
  • the figure 2 represents a perspective view from above of the seat illustrated on the figure 1 converted to bed.

Sur la figure 1 est représentée de manière schématique une vue éclatée en perspective d'un siège modulable convertible en lit selon un mode de réalisation de l'invention.On the figure 1 is schematically represented an exploded perspective view of a modular seat convertible into a bed according to one embodiment of the invention.

Plus particulièrement, la figure 1 présente un canapé trois places convertible en lit selon un premier mode de réalisation de l'invention.In particular, the figure 1 has a three-seater sofa convertible into a bed according to a first embodiment of the invention.

Le canapé modulable comprend une assise 1 comportant trois premiers modules élémentaires 2 et un dossier 3 comportant trois seconds modules élémentaires 4.The modular sofa comprises a seat 1 comprising three first elementary modules 2 and a backrest 3 comprising three second elementary modules 4.

Le canapé comprend en outre des charnières 5 à cran. Chaque charnière à cran 5 est fixée à un premier module élémentaire 2 et un second module élémentaire 4 de manière à permettre l'articulation du second module élémentaire 4 par rapport au premier module élémentaire 2. Chaque premier module élémentaire 2 est ainsi attaché de manière articulée à un second module élémentaire 4 à l'aide d'une paire de charnières à cran 5.The sofa also includes hinges 5 notch. Each notch hinge 5 is fixed to a first elementary module 2 and a second elementary module 4 so as to allow the articulation of the second elementary module 4 with respect to the first elementary module 2. Each first elementary module 2 is thus hingedly attached. to a second elementary module 4 using a pair of detent hinges 5.

Les charnières à cran 5 permettent de faire pivoter le second module élémentaire 4 par rapport au premier module élémentaire 2 auquel il est attaché entre une position abaissée dans laquelle le premier et le second modules élémentaires 2 et 4 attachés ensemble via les deux charnières à cran 5 sont adjacents et forment un angle plat de 180°, et une position relevée dans laquelle le second module élémentaire 4 forme un angle inférieur à 180°, et plus particulièrement un angle compris entre 90° et 120° avec le premier module élémentaire 2 auquel il est attaché via les deux charnières à cran 5.The detent hinges 5 make it possible to pivot the second elementary module 4 with respect to the first elementary module 2 to which it is attached between a lowered position in which the first and the second elementary modules 2 and 4 are attached together via the two notched hinges 5 are adjacent and form a flat angle of 180 °, and a raised position in which the second elementary module 4 forms an angle less than 180 °, and more particularly an angle of between 90 ° and 120 ° with the first elementary module 2 to which it is attached via the two notched hinges 5.

Les charnières à cran 5 permettent en outre de bloquer le second module élémentaire 4 dans la position relevée lorsque cela est souhaité.The hinges 5 notch further allow to block the second elementary module 4 in the raised position when desired.

Dans le mode de réalisation illustré sur la figure 1, les premiers et seconds modules élémentaires sont identiques.In the embodiment illustrated on the figure 1 the first and second elementary modules are identical.

Dans des variantes, les premiers et seconds modules élémentaires peuvent posséder des caractéristiques différentes telles que des dimensions différentes ou bien des pieds fixes pour les uns et des pieds escamotables pour les autres.In variants, the first and second elementary modules may have different characteristics such as different dimensions or fixed feet for some and retractable feet for others.

Dans le mode de réalisation illustré sur la figure 1, les modules élémentaires, c'est-à-dire les premiers et seconds modules élémentaires, 2 et 4 comportent chacun un cadre 6 rigide fixe réalisé en bois. Le cadre 6 possède une forme parallélépipédique creuse formée à partir de deux montants longitudinaux 7 et de deux traverses 8. Chaque module élémentaire 2 et 4 comprend en outre des lattes flexibles 9 dont chaque extrémité est fixée à un montant longitudinal 7 de manière à former avec le cadre 6 une portion de sommier.In the embodiment illustrated on the figure 1 , the elementary modules, that is to say the first and second elementary modules, 2 and 4 each comprise a fixed rigid frame 6 made of wood. The frame 6 has a hollow parallelepipedal shape formed from two longitudinal uprights 7 and two crosspieces 8. Each elemental module 2 and 4 further comprises flexible slats 9 each end of which is fixed to a longitudinal upright 7 so as to form with the frame 6 a portion of box spring.

Les modules élémentaires 2 et 4 comprennent également des pieds 10 escamotables. Chaque pied 10 peut ainsi être placé dans une position d'utilisation dans laquelle le pied 10 est sorti de manière à surélever le module élémentaire 2 ou 4, ou dans une position escamotée dans laquelle le pied 10 est rentré dans le cadre 6, le module élémentaire 2 ou 4 reposant alors directement sur le cadre 6.The elementary modules 2 and 4 also include retractable legs. Each foot 10 can thus be placed in a position of use in which the foot 10 is out so as to raise the elementary module 2 or 4, or in a retracted position in which the foot 10 is retracted into the frame 6, the module elementary 2 or 4 then resting directly on the frame 6.

Sur la figure 1, les pieds 10 des premiers modules élémentaires 2 formant l'assise 1 sont en position d'utilisation et permettent de faire reposer les premiers modules élémentaires 2 sur le sol via les pieds 10. En revanche, les pieds 10 des seconds modules élémentaires 4 formant le dossier 3 du canapé illustré sur la figure 1 sont en position escamotée, et sont donc cachés à l'intérieur du cadre 6 de chaque second module élémentaire 4.On the figure 1 , the feet 10 of the first elementary modules 2 forming the seat 1 are in the use position and allow to base the first elementary modules 2 on the ground via the feet 10. In contrast, the feet 10 of the second elementary modules 4 forming the backrest 3 of the couch shown on the figure 1 are in the retracted position, and are therefore hidden inside the frame 6 of each second elementary module 4.

Les pieds 10 peuvent également comprendre des roulettes, non représentées sur la figure 1, aux extrémités libres des pieds 10 pour faciliter le déplacement des modules élémentaires ou du siège une fois assemblé.The feet 10 may also comprise rollers, not shown on the figure 1 , at the free ends of the feet 10 to facilitate the movement of the elementary modules or the seat once assembled.

Chaque module élémentaire 2 et 4 comprend en outre des moyens de solidarisation réversibles 11 destinés à la fixation réversible d'un module élémentaire additionnel 2 ou 4. Dans le mode de réalisation illustré sur la figure 1, les moyens de solidarisation réversibles 11 comprennent un tenon 12 et une mortaise réalisée sous la forme d'une empreinte 13 complémentaire. Chaque empreinte 13 est réalisée dans le cadre 6 de chaque module élémentaire 2 ou 4 de manière à être en regard d'une empreinte 13 d'un module élémentaire 2 ou 4 adjacent.Each elementary module 2 and 4 further comprises reversible securing means 11 intended for the reversible attachment of an additional elementary module 2 or 4. In the embodiment illustrated in FIG. figure 1 , the reversible securing means 11 comprise a pin 12 and a mortise made in the form of a complementary cavity 13. Each imprint 13 is made in the frame 6 of each elementary module 2 or 4 so as to face an imprint 13 of an elementary module 2 or 4 adjacent.

Chaque empreinte 13 possède une forme en queue d'aronde, c'est-à-dire une forme de base trapézoïdale avec la petite base b réalisée sur l'extérieur du cadre 6 et la grande base B sur l'intérieur du cadre 6 du module élémentaire 2 ou 4. La grande base B d'une empreinte 13 est ainsi creusée sur la face interne d'un montant longitudinal 7 de manière à être en regard du montant longitudinal 7 opposé du même cadre 6, tandis que la petite base b est creusée sur la face externe du montant longitudinal 7 de manière à être en regard d'un éventuel autre module élémentaire 2 ou 4.Each cavity 13 has a dovetail shaped, that is to say a trapezoidal basic shape with the small base b formed on the outside of the frame 6 and the large base B on the inside of the frame 6 elementary module 2 or 4. The large base B of a footprint 13 is thus hollowed on the inner face of a longitudinal upright 7 so as to be opposite the opposite longitudinal amount 7 of the same frame 6, while the small base b is hollowed on the outer face of the longitudinal upright 7 so as to be opposite any other elementary module 2 or 4.

Le tenon 12 possède une forme de double queue d'aronde. Le tenon 12 possède ainsi une forme complémentaire à deux empreintes 13 en regard l'une de l'autre. Le tenon 12 permet ainsi de coopérer avec deux empreintes 13 adjacentes en regard l'une de l'autre et ainsi de solidariser les deux modules élémentaires 2 ou 4 disposés côte à côte.The post 12 has a double dovetail shape. The stud 12 thus has a shape complementary to two cavities 13 facing one another. The post 12 thus makes it possible to cooperate with two adjacent indentations 13 facing one another and thus to secure the two elementary modules 2 or 4 arranged side by side.

Le tenon 12 et l'empreinte 13 forment ainsi une liaison mécanique en queue d'aronde empêchant deux modules élémentaires 2 ou 4 adjacents de se séparer latéralement l'un de l'autre.The tenon 12 and the cavity 13 thus form a dovetail mechanical connection preventing two adjacent elementary modules 2 or 4 from separating laterally from one another.

On ne sort pas du cadre de l'invention lorsqu'on utilise d'autres moyens de solidarisation réversibles telle qu'une mortaise ou une fente coopérant avec un tenon troué qu'on insère dans la mortaise et une cheville qu'on insère dans l'élément du cadre dans lequel la fente est réalisée de manière à traverser la mortaise et le tenon.It is not beyond the scope of the invention when using other reversible securing means such as a mortise or slot cooperating with a perforated tenon which is inserted into the mortise and an ankle inserted into the slot. element of the frame in which the slot is made so as to pass through the mortise and tenon.

On ne sort pas non plus du cadre de l'invention lorsque les moyens de solidarisation réversibles sont des fermetures à cadenas comprenant une partie en saillie sur un côté d'un module élémentaire destiné à coopérer avec une empreinte complémentaire réalisée sur un côté opposé du module élémentaire de manière à ce que la partie en saillie d'un module élémentaire coopère avec l'empreinte complémentaire d'un module adjacent.It is also not within the scope of the invention when the reversible fastening means are padlock closures comprising a portion projecting on one side of an elementary module intended to cooperate with a complementary cavity made on an opposite side of the module. elementary so that the projecting portion of an elementary module cooperates with the complementary cavity of an adjacent module.

L'utilisation des moyens de solidarisation réversibles 11 illustrés sur la figure 1 comportant un tenon 12 coopérant avec une empreinte 13, ou de moyens de solidarisation réversibles équivalents permettent de facilement et rapidement assembler/désassembler des modules élémentaires 2 ou 4 ensemble sans outil.The use of the reversible fastening means 11 illustrated on the figure 1 having a peg 12 cooperating with a recess 13, or equivalent reversible securing means allow to easily and quickly assemble / disassemble elementary modules 2 or 4 together without tools.

Le canapé modulable comprend en outre des coussins 15 destinés à être posés sur ou contre les lattes flexibles 9 d'un module élémentaire 2 ou 4. Les coussins 15 sont maintenus en position à l'aide d'une languette de fixation solidaire du coussin 15 et apte à être fixée à un élément d'un module élémentaire 2 ou 4 tel qu'une latte 9 flexible. La languette peut être fixée à l'aide d'une fermeture à glissière ou bien d'une bande auto-agrippante.The modular sofa further comprises cushions 15 intended to be placed on or against the flexible slats 9 of an elementary module 2 or 4. The cushions 15 are held in position by means of a fastening tab integral with the cushion 15 and adapted to be attached to an element of an elementary module 2 or 4 such as a flexible batten 9. The tongue can be fixed using a zipper or a self-gripping tape.

Dans une variante, les coussins peuvent comprendre une portion de fermeture à glissière sur une arête latérale du coussin destinée à être en contact avec une portion de sommier et un coussin adjacent. De cette manière, deux coussins adjacents peuvent être rendus solidaires l'un de l'autre à l'aide des portions complémentaires de fermeture à glissière disposées sur chacun des deux coussins.Alternatively, the cushions may include a zipper portion on a side edge of the cushion for contacting a bed frame portion and an adjacent cushion. In this way, two adjacent cushions can be secured to one another by means of the complementary zipper portions disposed on each of the two cushions.

Dans le mode de réalisation illustré, les coussins 15 possèdent tous la même épaisseur. De cette façon, lorsque le dossier 3 est abaissé, c'est-à-dire lorsque les seconds modules 4 sont pivotés dans la position abaissée, la surface visible des coussins 15 destinée à recevoir au moins un utilisateur est à la même hauteur sur toute la surface. La surface visible destinée à être en contact avec un utilisateur est donc uniforme.In the illustrated embodiment, the cushions 15 all have the same thickness. In this way, when the backrest 3 is lowered, that is to say when the second modules 4 are pivoted in the lowered position, the visible surface of the cushions 15 intended to receive at least one user is at the same height on any the surface. The visible surface intended to be in contact with a user is therefore uniform.

En plus d'avoir la même épaisseur, les coussins 15 ont également la même longueur et la même largeur. La longueur et la largeur d'un coussin 15 correspondent à la longueur et à la largeur du cadre 6 d'un module élémentaire 2 ou 4 de manière à couvrir tout la surface du module élémentaire 2 ou 4.In addition to having the same thickness, the cushions 15 also have the same length and the same width. The length and width of a cushion 15 correspond to the length and width of the frame 6 of an elementary module 2 or 4 so as to cover the entire surface of the elementary module 2 or 4.

Dans le mode de réalisation illustré sur la figure 1, les premiers et seconds modules élémentaires 2 et 4 sont identiques. L'assemblage des coussins 15 est réalisé de manière à ce que, en position relevée, pour chaque couple de premier et second modules élémentaires 2 et 4, un coussin 15 soit positionné à plat, horizontalement, de manière à couvrir entièrement le premier module élémentaire 2 et un coussin 15 soit positionné debout, verticalement, contre le second module élémentaire 4 et sur le coussin 15 reposant à plat sur le premier module élémentaire 2. Le coussin 15 positionné debout dépassera alors en hauteur par rapport au cadre 6 du second module élémentaire 4 d'une hauteur égale à l'épaisseur des coussins 15.In the embodiment illustrated on the figure 1 the first and second elementary modules 2 and 4 are identical. The cushions 15 are assembled in such a way that, in the raised position, for each pair of first and second elementary modules 2 and 4, a cushion 15 is positioned flat, horizontally, so as to completely cover the first elementary module 2 and a cushion 15 is positioned upright, vertically, against the second elementary module 4 and on the cushion 15 resting flat on the first elementary module 2. The cushion 15 standing position will then exceed in height relative to the frame 6 of the second elementary module 4 with a height equal to the thickness of the cushions 15.

En variante, la configuration des coussins 15 pourraient être réalisée de manière à ce que ce soit le coussin 15 reposant sur le premier module élémentaire 2 qui dépasse du premier module élémentaire 2.Alternatively, the configuration of the cushions 15 could be made so that it is the cushion 15 resting on the first elementary module 2 which protrudes from the first elementary module 2.

Dans autre une variante, il est possible d'avoir des dimensions différentes entre les premiers modules élémentaires 2 formant l'assise 1 et les seconds modules élémentaires 4 formant le dossier 3 de manière à ce que le coussin 15 positionné debout ne dépasse pas en hauteur par rapport au second module élémentaire 4 et que le coussin 15 positionné à plat ne dépasse pas du cadre 6 du premier module élémentaire 2.In another variant, it is possible to have different dimensions between the first elementary modules 2 forming the seat 1 and the second elementary modules 4 forming the backrest 3 so that the cushion 15 standing does not exceed in height relative to the second elementary module 4 and that the cushion 15 positioned flat does not exceed the frame 6 of the first elementary module 2.

Pour cela, lorsqu'on considère que la longueur d'un module est mesurée dans la direction dans laquelle un premier et un second modules 2 et 4 sont alignés lorsqu'ils sont assemblés ensemble, les premiers modules 2 formant l'assise 1 ont une longueur égale à la somme de la longueur d'un coussin 15 avec l'épaisseur d'un coussin 15, et les seconds modules 4 formant le dossier 3 ont une longueur égale à la différence entre la longueur d'un coussin 15 et l'épaisseur d'un coussin 15.For this, when considering that the length of a module is measured in the direction in which a first and a second modules 2 and 4 are aligned when they are assembled together, the first modules 2 forming the seat 1 have a length equal to the sum of the length of a cushion 15 with the thickness of a cushion 15, and the second modules 4 forming the backrest 3 have a length equal to the difference between the length of a cushion 15 and the thickness of a cushion 15.

Sur la figure 2 est illustrée une vue en perspective de dessus du canapé modulable convertible en lit de la figure 1. Comme cela est illustré, les coussins 15 définissent deux zones de couchage de largeur égale, équivalente à la longueur d'un coussin, et de longueur égale, équivalente à la longueur de trois coussins. Que les premiers et seconds modules élémentaires 2 et 4 aient des dimensions égales ou différentes, tant que la longueur totale d'un premier module élémentaire 2 assemblée avec un second module élémentaire 4 est égale à la longueur de deux coussins identiques 15, la zone de couchage du canapé permettra de définir deux zones de couchage distinctes et égales.On the figure 2 is illustrated a perspective view from above of the modular sofa convertible into bed of the figure 1 . As illustrated, the cushions 15 define two coating zones of equal width, equivalent to the length of a cushion, and of equal length, equivalent to the length of three cushions. That the first and second elementary modules 2 and 4 have equal or different dimensions, as long as the total length of a first elementary module 2 assembled with a second elementary module 4 is equal to the length of two identical cushions 15, the zone of Sleeping the couch will define two separate and equal sleeping areas.

Sur la figure 2, les pieds 10 des seconds modules élémentaires 4 formant le dossier 3 du siège lorsqu'il est en position relevée sont sortis de manière à faire reposer le dossier 3 sur les pieds 10.On the figure 2 , the feet 10 of the second elementary modules 4 forming the backrest 3 of the seat when it is in the raised position are extended so as to rest the backrest 3 on the feet 10.

Dans le mode de réalisation illustré sur la figure 1, le canapé comprend en outre de modules latéraux 16 comportant deux portions 17 de panneau assemblées ensemble à l'aide d'une articulation 18 telle que des charnières. Les articulations 18 permettent de réaliser un couplage entre les deux portions 17 adjacentes et de faire pivoter une portion 17 par rapport à l'autre entre une position ouverte dans laquelle les deux portions 17 sont alignées ensemble en formant un angle plat de 180° et une position repliée dans laquelle les deux portions 17 forment un angle nul.In the embodiment illustrated on the figure 1 , the sofa further comprises side modules 16 having two panel portions 17 assembled together using a hinge 18 such as hinges. The articulations 18 make it possible to form a coupling between the two adjacent portions 17 and to pivot a portion 17 with respect to the other between an open position in which the two portions 17 are aligned together forming a flat angle of 180 ° and a folded position in which the two portions 17 form a zero angle.

Chaque module latéral 16 peut ainsi être replié lors du transport de manière à réduire son encombrement.Each lateral module 16 can thus be folded during transport so as to reduce its bulk.

Chaque portion 17 des modules latéraux 16 comprend un tenon 19 fixé sur la portion 17 et dont la forme en queue d'aronde est complémentaire aux empreintes 13. Le tenon 19 de chaque portion 17 est disposé sur la portion 17 de manière à permettre la solidarisation de la portion 17 correspondante à un premier module élémentaire 17. Chaque module élémentaire 16 forme alors un accoudoir.Each portion 17 of the lateral modules 16 comprises a pin 19 fixed on the portion 17 and whose dovetail shape is complementary to the indentations 13. The pin 19 of each portion 17 is disposed on the portion 17 so as to allow the joining together of the portion 17 corresponding to a first elementary module 17. Each elementary module 16 then forms an armrest.

Comme cela est illustré sur la figure 1, chaque module élémentaire 2 ou 4 comprend également des empreintes 13 réalisées de la même manière que pour les moyens de solidarisation 11 dans la traverse 8 exempte de charnières 5 à cran, c'est-à-dire une traverse 8 libre. Ces empreintes 13 réalisées dans la traverse 8 permettent de former un canapé d'angle en assemblant par exemple un premier module élémentaire supplémentaire devant l'un des premiers modules élémentaires 2 à l'aide d'un tenon 12 des moyens de solidarisation 11.As illustrated on the figure 1 each elementary module 2 or 4 also comprises indentations 13 made in the same manner as for the securing means 11 in the cross member 8 without hinges 5 notch, that is to say a free cross 8. These cavities 13 made in the crosspiece 8 make it possible to form a corner sofa by assembling, for example, a first additional elementary module in front of one of the first elementary modules 2 by means of a tenon 12 of the securing means 11.

Le canapé modulable comprend en outre un panneau frontal 20 comportant trois portions 21 de panneaux assemblées ensemble à l'aide d'articulations 22 telles que des charnières. Les articulations 22 permettent de réaliser un couplage entre deux portions 21 adjacentes et de faire pivoter une portion 21 par rapport à l'autre entre une position ouverte dans laquelle les deux portions 21 sont alignées ensemble en formant un angle plat de 180° et une position repliée dans laquelle les deux portions sont superposées en formant un angle nul.The modular sofa further comprises a front panel 20 having three portions 21 of panels assembled together by means of hinges 22 such as hinges. The joints 22 make it possible to couple between two adjacent portions 21 and pivoting a portion 21 relative to the other between an open position in which the two portions 21 are aligned together forming a 180 ° flat angle and a folded position in which the two portions are superimposed forming a zero angle.

Le panneau frontal 20 peut ainsi être replié lors du transport de manière à réduire son encombrement.The front panel 20 can be folded during transport so as to reduce its bulk.

Chaque portion 21 du panneau frontal 16 comprend au moins une empreinte 13 formée dans une partie supérieure de la portion. L'empreinte 13 coopère avec un tenon 12 d'un moyen de solidarisation 11 et une empreinte 13 réalisée dans une traverse 8 libre d'un premier module élémentaire 2 formant l'assise 1 pour fixer de manière réversible le panneau frontal 16 à l'assise 1.Each portion 21 of the front panel 16 comprises at least one cavity 13 formed in an upper portion of the portion. The impression 13 cooperates with a tenon 12 of a securing means 11 and an impression 13 made in a free crossmember 8 of a first elementary module 2 forming the seat 1 for reversibly fixing the front panel 16 to the sitting 1.

Dans un mode de réalisation impliquant un fauteuil formé à partir d'un seul premier module élémentaire et d'un seul second module élémentaire, les dimensions des premier et second modules élémentaires peuvent être différentes pour permettre l'obtention d'une zone de couchage suffisante lorsque le second module élémentaire est en position abaissée. Ou bien un module élémentaire supplémentaire et un coussin supplémentaire peuvent être ajoutés à la suite du premier et du second module élémentaires alignés en position de lit pour augmenter la zone de couchage. Dans ce dernier cas, le module élémentaire supplémentaire est facilement et rapidement solidarisé avec l'un des premier et second modules élémentaires à l'aide d'un tenon 12 et des empreintes 13 réalisées dans les traverses 8.In an embodiment involving a chair formed from a single first elementary module and a single second elementary module, the dimensions of the first and second elementary modules may be different to allow to obtain a sufficient sleeping area when the second elementary module is in the lowered position. Either an additional elementary module and an additional cushion may be added following the first and second elementary modules aligned in the bed position to increase the sleeping area. In the latter case, the additional elementary module is easily and quickly secured to one of the first and second elementary modules by means of a pin 12 and indentations 13 made in the crosspieces 8.

Dans un mode de réalisation dans lequel le siège modulable convertible en lit forme un divan en position relevée et ne comporte donc pas d'accoudoirs, les modules latéraux 16 peuvent être de la même hauteur que le panneau frontal 20 et posséder des moyens de solidarisation 11 similaires avec une empreinte réalisée dans une partie supérieure des modules latéraux 16 et des tenons 12.In one embodiment in which the modular seat convertible into a bed forms a couch in the raised position and therefore does not include armrests, the side modules 16 may be of the same height as the front panel 20 and have securing means 11 similar with an impression made in an upper part of the lateral modules 16 and tenons 12.

L'invention fournit donc un siège convertible en lit à structure modulaire permettant une variété de configurations différentes et permettant de faciliter le transport. Un tel siège permet en outre de renouveler le style du siège convertible à partir de la modification d'un ou de plusieurs éléments visibles constitutifs du siège comme le (ou les) panneau(x) et/ou les housses des coussins.The invention thus provides a convertible bed seat modular structure allowing a variety of different configurations and to facilitate transport. Such a seat also makes it possible to renew the style of the convertible seat from the modification one or more visible elements constituting the seat as the (or) panel (s) and / or cushions covers.
