- the upholstery material 15 is covered to hold the outside surface of the cushion material 14 and the outer peripheral edge of the base plate 13, and the peripheral edge 15a of the upholstery material 15 is fitted into the recessed groove 19 of the base plate 13 together with the tightening cord 18 on the lower surface side of the base plate 13.
- the tightening cord 18 and the peripheral edge 15a of the upholstery material 15 ride over only the first protruding wall 26 and are pushed into the recessed groove 19.
- the first protruding wall 26 and the second protruding wall 27 ride over the tightening cord 18 and the peripheral edge 15a of the upholstery material 15 and are pushed into the recessed groove 19.
- both end parts of the tightening cord 18 pulled out from the insertion hole part 17 of the peripheral edge of the upholstery material 15 are tightened using an appropriate instrument, and both the end parts of the tightening cord 18 are tied together in that state.
- the tightening of the tightening cord 18 can also be manually performed by a worker.
- the displacement, in the base-plate center direction, of the tightening cord 18 and the peripheral edge 15a of the upholstery material 15 is restricted by the first side wall 24 and the first protruding wall 26, and the displacement, in the base plate outward direction, of the tightening cord 18 and the peripheral edge 15a of the upholstery material 15 is restricted by the second side wall 25 and the second protruding wall 27.
- the second side wall 25 and the second protruding wall 27 that are the second locking means in addition to the first side wall 24 and the first protruding wall 26 that are the first locking means are provided at suitable positions on the lower surface of the base plate 13 of the seat body 4. Therefore, not only the displacement of the peripheral edge 15a of the upholstery material 15 that tends to narrow inward but also the displacement thereof that tends to widen outward can be appropriately restricted. For this reason, curling of the upholstery material 15 in various directions can be more reliably suppressed.
- the second side wall 25 and the second protruding wall 27 are provided in the linear parts 13b on both the left and right sides of the base plate 13 and the linear part 13b on the front side in the thick cushion material 14 superimposed on an upper surface. Therefore, the displacement of the peripheral edge 15a of the upholstery material 15 that tends to widen outward accompanying the tightening of the tightening cord 18 can be appropriately restricted.
- the first locking means is constituted of the first side wall 24 and the first protruding wall 26, and the second locking means is constituted of the second side wall 25 and the second protruding wall 27. Therefore, slip-out of the peripheral edge 15a of the upholstery material 15 from the recessed groove 19 can be reliably restricted by the first protruding wall 26 and the second protruding wall 27. In addition, even in a case where the tightening cord 18 or the peripheral edge 15a of the upholstery material 15 directly abuts against neither the first protruding wall 26 nor the second protruding wall 27, the displacement of the tightening cord 18 or the upholstery material 15 can be restricted by the first side wall 24 and the second side wall 25 that are walls of the recessed groove 19.
- the recessed groove 19 is provided in the lower surface of the base plate 13 so as to be continuous in the circumferential direction of the base plate 13, the first side wall 24 is constituted of an inside wall of the recessed groove 19, and the second side wall 25 is constituted of an outside wall of the recessed groove 19. Therefore, when the upholstery material 15 is attached, the tightening cord 18 or the peripheral edge 15a of the upholstery material 15 can be easily arranged inside the first protruding wall 26 or the second protruding wall 27, continuously pushing the tightening cord 18 or the peripheral edge 15a of the upholstery material 15 into the recessed groove 19 on the base plate 13. For this reason, the upholstery material 15 can be easily attached. Moreover, since the displacement of the tightening cord 18 or the peripheral edge 15a of the upholstery material 15 is restricted within the continuous recessed groove 19, the curling of the upholstery material 15 can be made less likely to occur.
- the continuous recessed groove 19 may not necessarily be formed in the lower surface of the base plate 13.
- the first side wall 124 and the second side wall 125 that are narrow may intermittently protrude from the lower surface of the base plate 113 so as to run along the direction in which the tightening cord 18 extends, and the first protruding wall 126 and the second protruding wall 127 may be respectively provided continuously with the vicinities of the respective protruding ends of the first side wall 124 and the second side wall 125.
- the first protruding wall 26 and the second protruding wall 27 provided in the linear parts 13b are arranged so as to be separated from each other in the direction in which the tightening cord 18 extends, and to be adjacent to each other. Therefore, the length of the first protruding wall 26 and the second protruding wall 27 can be sufficiently extended without causing any contact between tip parts of the first protruding wall 26 and the second protruding wall 27. For this reason, the first protruding wall 26 and the second protruding wall 27 can be easily bent and deformed when the tightening cord 18 or the peripheral edge of the upholstery material 15 is attached. Therefore, this can facilitate the attachment of the upholstery material 15.
- the respective tip parts of the first protruding wall 26 and the second protruding wall 27 that are provided adjacent to each other in the linear parts extend to positions with substantially half lengths of the groove width (the separation width of the first side wall 24 and the second side wall 25) of the recessed groove 19. Therefore, the wide range of the recessed groove 19 is blocked by the first protruding wall 26 and the second protruding wall 27, and the slip-out of the peripheral edge 15a (tightening cord 18) of the upholstery material 15 from the inside of the recessed groove 19 can be effectively prevented.
- the respective tip parts of the first protruding wall 26 and the second protruding wall 27 are extended to the positions with substantially half lengths of the groove width of the recessed groove 19, if minimal setting is made so that the tightening cord 18 can pass through the recessed groove at least, the work of putting the peripheral edge 15a of the upholstery material 15 into the recessed groove 19 is not hindered by the first protruding wall 26 and the second protruding wall 27.
- FIG. 9 is a view illustrating lower surfaces of main parts of a base plate 213 of a third embodiment.
- tip parts of a first protruding wall 226 and a second protruding wall 227 provided in the linear parts are arranged at positions that face each other.
- the tip parts of the first protruding wall 226 and the second protruding wall 227 are arranged to face each other. Therefore, even if the displacement direction of the tightening cord 18 or the peripheral edge 15a of the upholstery material 15 varies, the displacement of the tightening cord 18 or the peripheral edge 15a of the upholstery material 15 can be reliably restricted by any one of the first protruding wall 226 and the second protruding wall 227.
- FIG. 10 is a view illustrating lower surfaces of main parts of a base plate 313 of a fourth embodiment of the invention.
- portions of tip parts of a first protruding wall 326 and a second protruding wall 327 provided in the linear parts face each other, and remaining portions thereof are arranged so as to be separated from each other in a direction in which the tightening cord 18 extends.

- the first protruding wall 326 and the second protruding wall 327 extend to be long along the direction in which the tightening cord 18 extends. For this reason, the first protruding wall 326 and the second protruding wall 327 can be easily bent and deformed when the tightening cord 18 or the peripheral edge 15a of the upholstery material 15 is attached. For this reason, the attachment of the upholstery material 15 can be facilitated.
- the invention is not restricted to the above embodiments, and various design changes can be made.
- the above embodiments exemplify a load-supporting body as a seat body, it is also possible to adopt the same structure for a backrest body of the backrest part.
Description
- The present invention relates to a chair in which an attachment part of an upholstery material of a load-supporting body, such as a seat body or a backrest, is improved.
- In seat bodies of chairs used for office work, generally, a cushion material, such as urethane, is arranged at an upper part of a base plate constituting a framework, and is covered with a sheet-like upholstery material from an outside surface of the cushion material to an outside edge of the base plate.
- When the upholstery material of this type of chair is attached, it is easy to replace the upholstery material with another at the time of fouling or the like, and it is easy to apply stable tension throughout the upholstery material. Therefore, a technique of narrowing a peripheral edge of the upholstery material on a lower surface side of the base plate using a tightening cord, thereby fixing the upholstery material to the cushion material and the base plate is frequently used (for example, refer to
Patent Documents 1 and 2). - In the chair described in
Patent Documents - In such a chair, the upholstery material can be easily attached to the cushion material and the base plate by tightening the tightening cord in the shape of a loop on the lower surface side of the base plate and tying the end parts. Moreover, variations in the tension that acts on the upholstery material can be reduced by managing the length of the tied part of the tightening cord.

3728576 - [Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent Publication No.
4255670 - In the chair described in
Patent Documents - As the cause of this, for example, if the peripheral edge of the upholstery material is tightened by the tightening cord in a case where the base plate and the cushion material have a substantially rectangular shape in plan view, parts corresponding to vicinities of corner parts of the base plate or the cushion material on the peripheral edge of the upholstery material are most strongly pulled by the tightening cord. However, by the parts corresponding to vicinities of linear parts between the corner parts adjacent to each other on the peripheral edge of the upholstery material, pulling force becomes relatively weak. Therefore, it is predicted that the parts are displaced to partially widen outward due to the tension of the upholstery material.
- Thus, an object of the invention is to provide a chair that can appropriately restrict displacement of a tightening cord and a peripheral edge of an upholstery material and can reduce positional deviation of an upholstery material.
- In order to solve the above problems, a chair related to the invention includes a load-supporting body. The load-supporting body includes a base plate constituting a framework; a cushion material arranged on a front surface side of the base plate; an upholstery material stretched to cover at least an outside surface of the cushion material and an outer peripheral edge of the base plate; and a tightening cord inserted through a peripheral edge of the upholstery material and tightened to allow end parts to be tied together on a rear surface side of the base plate in a state in which the upholstery material has covered the outside surface of the cushion material and the outer peripheral edge of the base plate. The base plate is provided with first locking means for restricting displacement of the tightened tightening cord in a base-plate center direction, and second locking means for restricting displacement of the tightened tightening cord in a base plate outward direction.
- Accordingly, if the tightening cord inserted through the peripheral edge of the upholstery material is tightened on the rear surface side of the base plate in a state in which the upholstery material has covered the outside surface of the cushion material and the outer peripheral edge of the base plate, the displacement of the tightening cord in the base-plate center direction is restricted by the first locking means, and the displacement of the tightening cord in the base plate outward direction is restricted by the second locking means. Therefore, not only the displacement of the peripheral edge of the upholstery material that tends to narrow inward but also the displacement thereof that tends to widen outward is restricted.
- The base plate may be formed in a substantially rectangular shape having corner parts at four corners and linear parts between the corner parts, the corner parts may be provided with the first locking means, and at least some of the linear parts may be provided with the second locking means.
- In this case, if the tightening cord inserted through the peripheral edge of the upholstery material is tightened on the rear surface side of the base plate in a state in which the upholstery material has covered the outside surface of the cushion material and the outer peripheral edge of the base plate, the tightening cord tends to be displaced in the direction of narrowing inward in the corner parts of the base plate, and the upholstery material tends to be displaced in the direction of widening outward in some of the linear parts of the base plate. In this case, each displacement of the tightening cord is restricted by the first locking means and the second locking means. Therefore, in every part of the base plate, curling of the upholstery material can be appropriately prevented.
- According to the invention, the first locking means include a first side wall protruding from a rear surface of the base plate to a rear side, and a first protruding wall protruding in an outward direction of the base plate from the vicinity of a protruding end of the first side wall, and the second locking means may include a second side wall protruding from the rear surface of the base plate to the rear side, and a second protruding wall protruding in an inward direction of the base plate from the vicinity of a protruding end of the second side wall.
- In this case, slip-out of the tightening cord or the peripheral edge of the upholstery material is reliably restricted by the first protruding wall and the second protruding wall. Additionally, even in a case where the tightening cord or the peripheral edge of the upholstery material directly abuts against neither the first protruding wall nor the second protruding wall, the displacement of the tightening cord or the upholstery material is restricted by the first side wall or the second side wall.
- A recessed groove that is continuous in a circumferential direction of the base plate is formed in the rear surface of the base plate, the first side wall is an inside wall of the recessed groove, and the second side wall is an outside wall of the recessed groove.
- In this case, when the upholstery material is attached, the tightening cord or the peripheral edge of the upholstery material can be arranged inside the first protruding wall or the second protruding wall, pushing the tightening cord or the peripheral edge of the upholstery material into the recessed groove that is continuous in the peripheral direction of the base plate. Therefore, the upholstery material can be easily attached. Additionally, since the tightening cord or the peripheral edge of the upholstery material is arranged within the recessed groove that is continuous in the circumferential direction of the base plate, the upholstery material is not more easily curled.
- According to the invention, the first protruding wall and the second protruding wall is arranged so as to be separated from each other in a direction in which the tightening cord extends, and to be adjacent to each other.
- In this case, even if the length of the first protruding wall and the second protruding wall is extended, the tip parts of the first protruding wall and the second protruding wall are stopped from coming into contact with each other. For this reason, the length of the first protruding wall and the second protruding wall can be sufficiently extended, and when the tightening cord or the peripheral edge of the upholstery material is attached, the first protruding wall and the second protruding wall can be easily bent and deformed. Therefore, this can facilitate the attachment of the upholstery material.
- It is preferable that respective tip parts of the first protruding wall and the second protruding wall that are provided adjacent to each other extend to positions with substantially half lengths of the separation width of the first side wall and the second side wall in a direction intersecting the direction in which the tightening cord extends.
- In this case, since the wide range, in a slip-out direction, of a region where the peripheral edge of the upholstery material and the tightening cord are arranged is covered with the first protruding wall and the second protruding wall, slip-out of the peripheral edge of the upholstery material can be effectively prevented. Additionally, the work of putting the upholstery material between the first side wall and the second side wall is not easily hindered by the first protruding wall and the second protruding wall.
- Tip parts of the first protruding wall and the second protruding wall may be arranged at positions that face each other.
- In this case, since the tip parts of the first protruding wall and the second protruding wall are arranged to face each other, even if the displacement direction of the tightening cord or the peripheral edge of the upholstery material varies, the displacement of the tightening cord or the peripheral edge of the upholstery material is reliably restricted by any one of the first protruding wall and the second protruding wall.
- Portions of tip parts of the first protruding wall and the second protruding wall may be arranged to face each other, and remaining portions thereof may be arranged so as to be separated from each other in a direction in which the tightening cord extends.
- In this case, even if the displacement direction of the tightening cord or the peripheral edge of the upholstery material varies, the displacement of the tightening cord or the peripheral edge of the upholstery material is reliably restricted by any one of the first protruding wall and the second protruding wall. Additionally, since only the portions of the tip parts of the first protruding wall and the second protruding wall face each other, and the remaining portions thereof are separated from each other in the direction in which the tightening cord extends, the first protruding wall and the second protruding wall extend to be long along the direction in which the tightening cord extends. For this reason, the first protruding wall and the second protruding wall can be easily bent and deformed when the tightening cord or the peripheral edge of the upholstery material is attached. Therefore, this can facilitate the attachment of the upholstery material.
- According to the invention, since not only the displacement of the peripheral edge of the upholstery material that tends to narrow inward but also the displacement thereof that tends to widen outward can be appropriately restricted, positional deviation of the upholstery material can be more reliably suppressed.

FIGS. 1 to 7 will be described. -
FIG. 1 is a side view illustrating the overall configuration of thechair 1 of this embodiment, andFIG. 2 is a perspective view when thechair 1 from which some components are removed is seen obliquely from below. - As illustrated in these drawings, the
chair 1 of this embodiment includes aleg part 2 placed on a floor F, a box-like supportingbase 3 installed at an upper end of theleg part 2, aseat body 4 on which a sitting person sits down, a seat-receivingmember 5 attached to an upper surface of the supportingbase 3 to support theseat body 4, and abackrest part 6 that extends to a rear part upper side from the supportingbase 3 and supports the back of a sitting person who sits down on theseat body 4. - The
leg part 2 includes amulti-branch leg 7 withcasters 7a, and aleg pillar 8 that is erected from a central part of themulti-branch leg 7 and incorporates a gas spring that is a lifting mechanism, and the supportingbase 3 is attached to an upper end part of theleg pillar 8 so as to be rotatable in a horizontal direction. A lift-adjusting mechanism of theleg pillar 8 and a tilt-adjusting mechanism of thebackrest part 6 are incorporated into the supportingbase 3. Thebackrest part 6 includes a backrest-supportingframe 9 having a substantially L-shape in a side view, and abackrest body 10 that is attached to a front surface of a rear upper part of the backrest-supportingframe 9 and directly supports the back of a sitting person who sits down on theseat body 4, and a front lower end of the backrest-supportingframe 9 is coupled to the tilt-adjusting mechanism within the supportingbase 3. - In addition,
reference signs 11 inFIGS. 1 and2 designate a pivotal shaft of the backrest-supportingframe 9 on the supportingbase 3, andreference sign 12 designates an operation knob of the tilt-adjusting mechanism provided to protrude from a side surface of the supportingbase 3. Additionallyreference sign 90 inFIG. 1 designates armrests attached to lower surfaces on both left and right sides of theseat body 4 as additional parts. -
FIG. 3 is a bottom view of theseat body 4. In this embodiment, theseat body 4 constitutes a load-supporting body of thechair 1 of this embodiment. - The
seat body 4 includes abase plate 13 constituting a framework, acushion material 14 made of urethane attached to an upper part of thebase plate 13, and anupholstery material 15 that is stretched to cover an outside surface of thecushion material 14 to an outer peripheral edge of thebase plate 13. In addition, inFIG. 3 , theupholstery material 15 is illustrated by phantom lines for the sake of illustration. -
FIG. 4 is a perspective view when thebase plate 13 is seen obliquely from below. - The
base plate 13 is formed of synthetic resin having elasticity, and is formed in a substantially oblong shape with four rounded corners in a top view. That is, thebase plate 13 is provided withcorner parts 13a that are rounded at four corners, and has an external shape in whichlinear parts 13b are respectively arranged between thecorner parts 13a adjacent to each other. Thebase plate 13 is provided such that acontinuous shielding wall 16 serving as a reinforcing rib protrudes downward from a lower surface of a peripheral edge excluding a central region of a rear side. The shieldingwall 16 conceals that a lower surface of thebase plate 13 is seen from a side, and functions to restrict excessive bending deformation of the whole region of thebase plate 13. Additionally a plurality of reinforcingribs 23 with low protruding height extending in a forward-rearward direction are provided at equal intervals so as to protrude from a region closer to an inner side than the shieldingwall 16 of the lower surface of thebase plate 13. - The
base plate 13 is held by the seat-receivingmember 5 fixed on the supportingbase 3 so as to be slidable forward and backward. - As illustrated in
FIG. 2 , a lockinglever 21 for locking the front and rear positions of theseat body 4 is tiltably attached to a left side part of thebase plate 13. A plurality of lock holes 35 are formed in the seat-receivingmember 5, and the sliding position of thebase plate 13 is locked by a tip part of the lockinglever 21 being fitted into anarbitrary lock hole 35. Arelease operation knob 22 to be gripped by an operator is integrally formed on a base end side in the lockinglever 21. -
FIG. 5 is an enlarged view illustrating a V portion ofFIG. 3 , andFIGS. 6 and7 are views illustrating sections corresponding to a VI-VI section and a VII-VII section ofFIG. 3 . - A bag-shaped
insertion hole part 17 running along a circumferential direction is provided at aperipheral edge 15a of theupholstery material 15 that is arranged so as to be routed to a lower surface side of the peripheral edge of thebase plate 13. Theinsertion hole part 17 is broken at a portion of theperipheral edge 15a of theupholstery material 15 in the circumferential direction, and atightening cord 18 is inserted from the broken portion of thetightening cord 18. Thetightening cord 18 tightens theperipheral edge 15a of theupholstery material 15 on the lower surface side of thebase plate 13, in a state in which theupholstery material 15 is stretched to hold the outside surface of thecushion material 14 to the outer peripheral edge of thebase plate 13, and bothend parts - Here, a recessed
groove 19 running along the circumferential direction is formed in the lower surface of the outer peripheral edge of thebase plate 13, and theperipheral edge 15a of theupholstery material 15 is fitted into the recessedgroove 19 together with thetightening cord 18. - The recessed
groove 19 is formed by a firstannular side wall 24 that protrudes downward from the lower surface of thebase plate 13, and a secondannular side wall 25 that protrudes downward from the lower surface of thebase plate 13 at a position separated to the outside of thefirst side wall 24. In this embodiment, a portion of thefirst side wall 24 is formed continuously with a root side of the shieldingwall 16. In other words, the shieldingwall 16 is formed continuously with a protruding end of thefirst side wall 24. - A plurality of first protruding
walls 26 that protrude in an outward direction of thebase plate 13 from the vicinity of the protruding end of thefirst side wall 24 are provided in regions corresponding to therespective corner parts 13a of thebase plate 13 of thefirst side wall 24, and regions corresponding to thelinear parts 13b. Meanwhile, a plurality of second protrudingwalls 27 that protrude in an inward direction of thebase plate 13 from the vicinity of a protruding end of thesecond side wall 25 are provided in regions corresponding to thelinear parts 13b on both left and right sides of thebase plate 13 and thelinear part 13b on the front side thereof, in thesecond side wall 25. - In this embodiment, the
first side wall 24 and the first protrudingwall 26 constitute first locking means for restricting the displacement of the tightenedtightening cord 18 in a base-plate center direction, and thesecond side wall 25 and the second protrudingwall 27 constitute second locking means for restricting the displacement of the tightenedtightening cord 18 in the outward direction of the base plate. - The first protruding
wall 26 and the second protrudingwall 27 provided in the regions corresponding to thelinear parts 13b on both left and right sides and thelinear part 13b on the front side are arranged so as to be separated from each other by a predetermined distance in a direction in which (thetightening cord 18 of) the recessedgroove 19 extends, and to be adjacent to each other. That is, the first protrudingwall 26 and the second protrudingwall 27 are alternately arranged with the recessedgroove 19 interposed therebetween. - Regarding the first protruding
wall 26 and the second protrudingwall 27 that are provided to be adjacent to each other in the regions corresponding to thelinear parts 13b on both left and right sides and thelinear part 13b on the front side, as illustrated inFIG. 5 , their respective tip parts extend to positions with substantially half lengths of the groove width of the recessedgroove 19. - In the
chair 1 of this embodiment, in a case where thecushion material 14 is arranged on thebase plate 13 and theupholstery material 15 is attached thereto, first, theupholstery material 15 is covered to hold the outside surface of thecushion material 14 and the outer peripheral edge of thebase plate 13, and theperipheral edge 15a of theupholstery material 15 is fitted into the recessedgroove 19 of thebase plate 13 together with thetightening cord 18 on the lower surface side of thebase plate 13. In this case, in therespective corner parts 13a and thelinear part 13b on a rear side, thetightening cord 18 and theperipheral edge 15a of theupholstery material 15 ride over only the first protrudingwall 26 and are pushed into the recessedgroove 19. Meanwhile, in thelinear parts 13b on both left and right sides and thelinear part 13b on the front side, the first protrudingwall 26 and the second protrudingwall 27 ride over the tighteningcord 18 and theperipheral edge 15a of theupholstery material 15 and are pushed into the recessedgroove 19. - Next, in this state, both end parts of the
tightening cord 18 pulled out from theinsertion hole part 17 of the peripheral edge of theupholstery material 15 are tightened using an appropriate instrument, and both the end parts of thetightening cord 18 are tied together in that state. In addition, the tightening of thetightening cord 18 can also be manually performed by a worker. In this way, if both the end parts of thetightening cord 18 are tightened, thetightening cord 18 and theperipheral edge 15a of theupholstery material 15 tend to be displaced in a base-material center direction in the regions corresponding to therespective corner parts 13a of thebase plate 13 and the rearlinear part 13b, and thetightening cord 18 and theperipheral edge 15a of theupholstery material 15 tend to be displaced in a base material outward direction in some of the regions corresponding to thelinear parts 13b on both the left and right sides of thebase plate 13 and thelinear part 13b on the front side, and tend to be displaced in the base-material center direction in some of the other above regions. In this case, the displacement, in the base-plate center direction, of thetightening cord 18 and theperipheral edge 15a of theupholstery material 15 is restricted by thefirst side wall 24 and the first protrudingwall 26, and the displacement, in the base plate outward direction, of thetightening cord 18 and theperipheral edge 15a of theupholstery material 15 is restricted by thesecond side wall 25 and the second protrudingwall 27. - As described above, in the
chair 1 related to this embodiment, thesecond side wall 25 and the second protrudingwall 27 that are the second locking means in addition to thefirst side wall 24 and the first protrudingwall 26 that are the first locking means are provided at suitable positions on the lower surface of thebase plate 13 of theseat body 4. Therefore, not only the displacement of theperipheral edge 15a of theupholstery material 15 that tends to narrow inward but also the displacement thereof that tends to widen outward can be appropriately restricted. For this reason, curling of theupholstery material 15 in various directions can be more reliably suppressed. - Particularly, in the
chair 1 related to this embodiment, thesecond side wall 25 and the second protrudingwall 27 are provided in thelinear parts 13b on both the left and right sides of thebase plate 13 and thelinear part 13b on the front side in thethick cushion material 14 superimposed on an upper surface. Therefore, the displacement of theperipheral edge 15a of theupholstery material 15 that tends to widen outward accompanying the tightening of thetightening cord 18 can be appropriately restricted. - Additionally, in the
chair 1 related to this embodiment, the first locking means is constituted of thefirst side wall 24 and the first protrudingwall 26, and the second locking means is constituted of thesecond side wall 25 and the second protrudingwall 27. Therefore, slip-out of theperipheral edge 15a of theupholstery material 15 from the recessedgroove 19 can be reliably restricted by the first protrudingwall 26 and the second protrudingwall 27. In addition, even in a case where thetightening cord 18 or theperipheral edge 15a of theupholstery material 15 directly abuts against neither the first protrudingwall 26 nor the second protrudingwall 27, the displacement of thetightening cord 18 or theupholstery material 15 can be restricted by thefirst side wall 24 and thesecond side wall 25 that are walls of the recessedgroove 19. - Moreover, in the
chair 1 related to this embodiment, the recessedgroove 19 is provided in the lower surface of thebase plate 13 so as to be continuous in the circumferential direction of thebase plate 13, thefirst side wall 24 is constituted of an inside wall of the recessedgroove 19, and thesecond side wall 25 is constituted of an outside wall of the recessedgroove 19. Therefore, when theupholstery material 15 is attached, thetightening cord 18 or theperipheral edge 15a of theupholstery material 15 can be easily arranged inside the first protrudingwall 26 or the second protrudingwall 27, continuously pushing thetightening cord 18 or theperipheral edge 15a of theupholstery material 15 into the recessedgroove 19 on thebase plate 13. For this reason, theupholstery material 15 can be easily attached. Moreover, since the displacement of thetightening cord 18 or theperipheral edge 15a of theupholstery material 15 is restricted within the continuous recessedgroove 19, the curling of theupholstery material 15 can be made less likely to occur. - However, the continuous recessed
groove 19 may not necessarily be formed in the lower surface of thebase plate 13. As in a second embodiment illustrated inFIG. 8 , thefirst side wall 124 and thesecond side wall 125 that are narrow may intermittently protrude from the lower surface of thebase plate 113 so as to run along the direction in which thetightening cord 18 extends, and the first protrudingwall 126 and the second protrudingwall 127 may be respectively provided continuously with the vicinities of the respective protruding ends of thefirst side wall 124 and thesecond side wall 125. - Additionally, in the
chair 1 related to this embodiment, the first protrudingwall 26 and the second protrudingwall 27 provided in thelinear parts 13b are arranged so as to be separated from each other in the direction in which thetightening cord 18 extends, and to be adjacent to each other. Therefore, the length of the first protrudingwall 26 and the second protrudingwall 27 can be sufficiently extended without causing any contact between tip parts of the first protrudingwall 26 and the second protrudingwall 27. For this reason, the first protrudingwall 26 and the second protrudingwall 27 can be easily bent and deformed when thetightening cord 18 or the peripheral edge of theupholstery material 15 is attached. Therefore, this can facilitate the attachment of theupholstery material 15. - Particularly, in the case of this embodiment, the respective tip parts of the first protruding
wall 26 and the second protrudingwall 27 that are provided adjacent to each other in the linear parts extend to positions with substantially half lengths of the groove width (the separation width of thefirst side wall 24 and the second side wall 25) of the recessedgroove 19. Therefore, the wide range of the recessedgroove 19 is blocked by the first protrudingwall 26 and the second protrudingwall 27, and the slip-out of theperipheral edge 15a (tightening cord 18) of theupholstery material 15 from the inside of the recessedgroove 19 can be effectively prevented. Additionally, as in this embodiment, even in a case where the respective tip parts of the first protrudingwall 26 and the second protrudingwall 27 are extended to the positions with substantially half lengths of the groove width of the recessedgroove 19, if minimal setting is made so that thetightening cord 18 can pass through the recessed groove at least, the work of putting theperipheral edge 15a of theupholstery material 15 into the recessedgroove 19 is not hindered by the first protrudingwall 26 and the second protrudingwall 27. -
FIG. 9 is a view illustrating lower surfaces of main parts of abase plate 213 of a third embodiment. - In this embodiment, tip parts of a first protruding
wall 226 and a secondprotruding wall 227 provided in the linear parts are arranged at positions that face each other. - In the case of this embodiment, the tip parts of the first protruding
wall 226 and the second protrudingwall 227 are arranged to face each other. Therefore, even if the displacement direction of thetightening cord 18 or theperipheral edge 15a of theupholstery material 15 varies, the displacement of thetightening cord 18 or theperipheral edge 15a of theupholstery material 15 can be reliably restricted by any one of the first protrudingwall 226 and the second protrudingwall 227. -
FIG. 10 is a view illustrating lower surfaces of main parts of abase plate 313 of a fourth embodiment of the invention. - In this embodiment, portions of tip parts of a first protruding
wall 326 and a secondprotruding wall 327 provided in the linear parts face each other, and remaining portions thereof are arranged so as to be separated from each other in a direction in which thetightening cord 18 extends. - In this embodiment, even if the displacement direction of the
tightening cord 18 or theperipheral edge 15a of theupholstery material 15 varies, the displacement of thetightening cord 18 or theperipheral edge 15a of theupholstery material 15 can be reliably restricted by any one of the first protrudingwall 326 and the second protrudingwall 327. - Additionally, since only the portions of the tip parts of the first protruding
wall 326 and the second protrudingwall 327 face each other, and remaining portions thereof are separated from each other in the direction in which thetightening cord 18 extends, the first protrudingwall 326 and the second protrudingwall 327 extend to be long along the direction in which thetightening cord 18 extends. For this reason, the first protrudingwall 326 and the second protrudingwall 327 can be easily bent and deformed when thetightening cord 18 or theperipheral edge 15a of theupholstery material 15 is attached. For this reason, the attachment of theupholstery material 15 can be facilitated. - The invention is not restricted to the above embodiments, and various design changes can be made. For example, although the above embodiments exemplify a load-supporting body as a seat body, it is also possible to adopt the same structure for a backrest body of the backrest part.
- According to the chair of the invention, since not only the displacement of the peripheral edge of the upholstery material that tends to narrow inward but also the displacement thereof that tends to widen outward can be appropriately restricted, positional deviation of the upholstery material can be more reliably suppressed.
