Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a folding chair, e.g. of the type which is used in home environments or similar.
  • folding chairs are those having a movable seat, which can be rotated and positioned parallel to the backrest.
  • the legs make the same movement in pairs, in a substantially accordion-like fashion, until a parallelepipedon is obtained which is made up of overlapping front legs, rear legs, seat, backrest and various mechanisms that allow for movement, rotation and articulation of the various parts.
  • the chair thus folded still takes up considerable room, in that its height is given by the vertical dimension of the legs plus the vertical dimension of the backrest.
  • the overlapping parts also create a rather thick folded chair.
  • the Applicant has dealt with the problem of limiting as much as possible the dimensions of a folding chair in the folded condition. Furthermore, the Applicant has also dealt with the problem of simplifying the steps necessary for switching the chair from the unfolded condition to the folded condition and vice versa.
  • an unfolded chair is meant to be a chair in a condition wherein a person can use it to sit down.
  • a folded chair is meant to be a chair in a condition wherein it takes minimal room.
  • One aspect of the present invention relates to a folding chair having the features set out in the appended claim 1.
  • the chair according to the present invention comprises a fixed structure 2, substantially shaped like an upside down "U", to which respective articulated support frames 31 and 32 supporting the fixed structure on the ground are constrained on each of the two vertical sides 21 and 22 of the "U".
  • Each frame can rotate relative to its corresponding vertical side, e.g. through suitable pins 23, so that both frames, when the chair is folded, are inside fixed structure 2 and, when the chair is unfolded, are substantially orthogonal to said structure.
  • a seat 4 is constrained in an articulated way to one of the two support frames 31 or 32; when the chair is unfolded, it is coupled to the other frame 32 or 31, whereas when the chair is folded it is held inside the free space obtained within the frame to which it is constrained.
  • both support frames are made from sections having a rectangular or quadrangular shape, and the seat is constrained to the upper horizontal section of the frame itself.
  • the seat also comprises at least one sleeve 41 associated with the upper horizontal section of the frame it is integral with. On the opposite side of the seat there is at least one hook 42 that engages the upper horizontal section of the opposite frame, preferably into a suitable housing 33.
  • the two movable frames substantially act as legs supporting the chair on the ground, and may also be shaped differently with respect to the embodiment shown herein, provided that they are still articulated and foldable by rotating within fixed structure 2. Furthermore, their dimensions must be compatible with the possibility of folding them within the same structure and with the possibility of housing the seat in the central space.
  • Backrest 5 is constrained to seat 4 in an articulated way; it can rotate relative to said seat about an axis parallel to upper horizontal side 24 of the fixed structure, so as to unfold the chair and be locked, through suitable locking means, in a substantially vertical position or tilted by a few degrees (e.g. up to 10°) relative to the vertical.
  • said locking means comprise two vertical bars 51 and 52 between which said backrest is constrained, which rotate relative to the seat through respective pins 53 inserted at the rear corners of the seat itself.
  • the folded chair has the backrest folded against the seat; the seat itself is folded and held within the frame it is constrained to, and both frames are folded and held within the fixed structure; all this is done in a manner such that said chair, when folded, becomes a small parallelepipedon, the side surface of which is not bigger than the side surface of the fixed structure, and the thickness of which does not exceed the thickness of the vertical sides of said fixed structure.
  • the locking means have such a shape that allows the backrest to have some elasticity with respect to the final unfolded position.
  • the various parts of the folding chair may be made of metal or plastic material.
  • strong and light materials should be preferred over other materials, e.g. heavier ones.
  • preferable materials include carbon, aluminium and alloys thereof.

    - une structure fixe (2), sensiblement en forme de « U » renversé, vers laquelle des cadres de support articulés (31, 32) supportant la structure fixe sur le sol sont contraints sur chacun des deux côtés verticaux (21, 22) du « U », chaque cadre pouvant tourner par rapport à son côté vertical correspondant, de telle sorte que les deux cadres, lorsque la chaise est pliée, se trouvent à l'intérieur de la structure fixe (2) et, lorsque la chaise est dépliée, sont sensiblement orthogonaux à ladite structure,
    - une assise (4) contrainte d'une manière articulée vers l'un des deux cadres de support (31, 32), ladite assise étant couplée à l'autre cadre (32, 31) lorsque la chaise est dépliée, et ladite assise étant maintenue à l'intérieur de l'espace libre obtenu au sein du cadre vers lequel elle est contrainte lorsque la chaise est pliée,
    - un dossier de chaise (5) contraint d'une manière articulée vers ladite assise (4), et positionné de telle manière que lorsque la chaise est pliée, il est plié contre l'assise elle-même au sein de l'espace central non occupé par les cadres, et lorsque la chaise est dépliée, il est dans une position sensiblement verticale, ou est incliné de quelques degrés par rapport à la verticale, au-dessus dudit côté horizontal de la structure fixe, et est maintenu dans cette position par des moyens de verrouillage.
  2. Chaise pliante selon la revendication 1, dans laquelle ledit dossier tourne autour d'un axe parallèle au côté horizontal arrière (24) du « U ».
  3. Chaise pliante selon la revendication 1, dans laquelle lesdits moyens de verrouillage comprennent deux barreaux verticaux (51, 52) entre lesquels ledit dossier est contraint, qui tournent par rapport à l'assise par le biais de tiges respectives (53) insérées au niveau des angles arrière de l'assise elle-même.
  4. Chaise pliante selon la revendication 1, comprenant en outre au moins un manchon (51) associé à la section horizontale supérieure du cadre solidaire avec l'assise, et dans laquelle sur le côté opposé de l'assise, il existe au moins un crochet (52) qui se met en prise avec la section horizontale supérieure du cadre opposé, de préférence dans un logement approprié (33).
