Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a furnishing object that can be folded or unfolded for storage, use or for decorative purposes.
  • Some objects are designed to be folded when not in use, to facilitate their transport, storage or to turn them into a decorative object. They are subsequently unfolded for their use. These objects are, for example, chairs, tents, cribs, etc.
  • the folding and unfolding of these objects are often complex operations to perform because they require several sequences of movements or more than two simultaneous shots, so that a person can not run them alone.
  • the folding or unfolding obtained is not always in accordance with expectations and is subject to hazards (bad chaining, folding to a place not expected, ).
  • the object of the invention is to provide a foldable furniture object in a single gesture, using one hand.
  • the object In its unfolded position, the object is designed to rest on a support, for example on any type of soil, on a table or on a carpet.
  • the gripping means By pulling on the gripping means, the object folds to take a predetermined position without effort or additional movement.
  • the folding is guided by the links which are more deformable than the panels and results in rotational torques generated on the panels by their weight and by the upward traction exerted by the gripping means.
  • the folding is accomplished by a fluid and continuous movement of the object.
  • at least two external panels sandwich at least two other panels, thanks to the sufficiently wide connection that connects the two outer panels.
  • panel means any three-dimensional object, two of the dimensions of which are much larger than the third and which is rigid enough to have a clean and substantially constant shape.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a foldable and unfoldable furniture object in a single gesture, with one hand.
  • These holding means serve to stabilize the folded position of the object.
  • Some means such as snaps, complementary shapes or Velcro strips require handling after folding.
  • Other means such as magnets can be activated automatically after folding.
  • these holding means are positioned on the underside of support of the object when the latter is in its unfolded position. This helps to conceal them and improve the safety and aesthetics of the object.
  • the furnishing object 10 has a parallelepipedal shape of which two of the three dimensions are identical. In other words, it forms a square tablecloth. It is placed on a flat support 12, against which it is supported by its lower bearing surface (not visible in figure 1 ).
  • the furnishing object comprises sixteen panels 14A-14P connected in pairs by links which are here rectilinear 16AB, 16BC, 16CD, 16DE, 16EF, 16FG, 16GH, 16HI, 161J, 16JK, 16KL, 16LM, 16MN, 16NO, 16OP, 16CP, 16DG, 16HK and 16LO in the form of segments. Each link defines a pivot axis between two adjacent panels.
  • the center of gravity 20 is located at the intersection of the two diagonals of the sheet. square.
  • the handle 18 can be attached to the object directly at its center of gravity 20, as on the Figures 1, 2 and 3 , or through four links symmetrical with respect to the barycentre 20 connecting the handle to the panels 14C, 14D, 14K and 14L, or through four links symmetrical with respect to the barycentre 20 connecting the handle to the panels 14G, 14H, 140 and 14P.
  • the weight of the object 10 suspended by the handle 18 causes it to pass from an unfolded position, represented on the figure 1 , at a predetermined folded position, shown in the figure 3 .
  • the links 16CP, 16DG, 16HK and 16LO of the pairs of panels (14C; 14P), (14D; 14G), (14H; 14K) and (14L; 140), said external panels have a width I1 sufficient to accommodate between the two panels of each of these pairs, the pairs of panels (14A; 14B), (14E; 14F), (14I; 14J) and (14M; 14N).
  • a pair of panels 14A-14P i.e.
  • Links 16AB, 16BC, 16DE, 16EF, 16FG, 16HI, 16IJ, 16JK, 16LM, 16MN and 16NO intersect at four link intercept nodes and links 16CD, 16GH, 16KL, 16OP, 16CP, 16DG, 16HK and 16LO intersect at center of gravity 20, which is an interception node of eight links.
  • the panels all have a triangular outline.
  • the panels 14A, 14B, 14E, 14F, 14I, 14J, 14M and 14N have the same dimensions. It is the same for panels 14C, 14D, 14G, 14H, 14K, 14L, 140 and 14P.
  • the links 16CD, 16GH, 16KL and 16OP fold downward while the links 16CP, 16DG, 16HK and 16LO fold upwards, orienting the panels of the pairs (14C; 14D), (14G; 14H), (14K, 14L) and (140; 14P) against each other.
  • the 16CP, 16DG, 16HK and 16LO links bend down and the 16CD, 16GH, 16KL and 16OP links bend upwards, orienting the pairs panels (14C; 14P), (14D, 14G), (14H, 14K) and (14L; 140) against each other.
  • the panels 14C, 14D, 14G, 14H, 14K, 14L, 140 and 14P are all identical, the two configurations are in fact equivalent.
  • the following folding is described in the case of the first configuration knowing that the process is similar for the second configuration.
  • the links 16BC, 16DE, 16FG, 16HI, 16JK, 16LM, 16NO and 16PA are fold upwards, while the links 16AB, 16EF, 16IJ and 16MN fold down, until the panels of the pairs (14A, 14B), (14E; 14F), (14I; 14J) and ( 14M, 14N) are parallel in pairs, ie they are pressed against each other, and are housed between the pairs of outer panels (14C; 14P), (14D; 14G; ), (14H, 14K) and (14L; 140).
  • the links 16CD and 16KL fold completely so that the panels 14C, 14D, 14K and 14L, adjacent to these two links, touch each other in pairs and that the panels of the pairs ( 14C, 14P), (14D; 14G), (14H; 14K) and (14L; 140) are arranged parallel in pairs.
  • the object 10 is thus obtained in its folded position of the figure 3 .
  • the object 10 does not include the links 16GH and 16OP. This deletion does not change the folding of the object according to the steps described above.
  • the object of furnishing 50 of the figure 4 has a substantially parallelepiped shape, placed on a support on its lower side. It comprises an envelope 52 which completely covers it and thus conceals its internal structure.
  • a handle 54 is positioned on the object so that the weight of the object 50 suspended by this handle 54 causes its passage from an unfolded position, illustrated by the figures 4 and 5 , at a predetermined folded position, illustrated by the figure 7 . It is located for example at the first third of a diagonal 56 of the object 50 and is fixed on the object 50, on either side of the diagonal 56.
  • the object 50 illustrated by the Figures 5 to 7 comprises ten 60A-60J panels connected in pairs by straight links in the form of segments 62AB, 62BC, 62CH, 62H, 62IJ, 62GJ, 62FG, 62AF, 62DE, 62EF, 62CD, 62HI and 62EJ less rigid than the panels. These links define pivot axes for the panels adjacent to said links.
  • a handle 54 is attached to the object on the diagonal 56, more precisely, on the first third of the diagonal 56. Alternatively, the handle may be fixed near the diagonal 56 straddling the panels 60D and 60E.
  • the panels 60A and 60B are symmetrical with respect to the diagonal 56.
  • the links 62AB, 62BC, 62CH, 62H, 62IJ, 62GJ, 62FG, 62AF, 62DE, 62EF, 62CD, 62HI and 62EJ intersect at interception nodes of at least four links (one interception node of six links between links 62AB, 62BC, 62CD, 62DE, 62EF and 62AF).
  • the panels 60A, 60B, 60D, 60E, 60G, 60H have a substantially triangular outline, while the panels 60C, 60F, 60I, 60J have a parallelogram-shaped outline. The panels have well-defined angles to facilitate folding.
  • the panels 60G, 60H, 601, 60J also lift, but the links 62EJ, 62DI and 62IJ can, at this stage, remain in contact with the flat support 12, provided that the handle 54 is still raised. by increasing the distance between the latter and the plane support 12.
  • the links 62GJ and 62HI then fold upwards, so that the panels 60G and 60J, respectively 60H and 60I, come closer to each other, thus bringing panels 60F and 60E, respectively 60C and 60D closer, and causing downward bending of bond 62AB between panels 60A and 60B. At this point, all the links have started folding.
  • the folded object presents all its panels as close as possible to each other, almost all parallel, which corresponds in a timely manner to the position of the assembly in which the center of gravity of each panel is the farthest possible from the position of the handle 54, given the constraints of folding the object.
  • the links 62CD, 62EF and 62IJ have a sufficient width L1 so that the pairs of adjacent panels (60E; 60F), respectively (60C; 60D) and (60I; 60J), said external panels, can accommodate between them the pairs of panels (60G, 60J), respectively (60H; 60I) and (60D; 60E).
  • the link 62AB has a width L2 sufficient for the pair of outer panels (60A; 60B) to accommodate between them the two pairs of panels (60C; 60D) and (60E; 60F).
  • the outer panels are arranged substantially parallel two by two.
  • the figure 9 shows a variation of the previous embodiment in which the non-peripheral panels 60D and 60E of the previous embodiment are absent.
  • the object 80 obtained after folding comprises only a pair of outer panels (82A; 82B) which sandwich panels 82C and 82F. This implies that the link connecting the panels 82A and 82B has a width sufficient to allow this configuration.
  • the gripping means is constituted by a handle 84 located at the first third of a diagonal of the object 80 and son 85 which connect the handle 84 to the panels 82C, 82I, 82J and 82F.
  • a panel 60 has a multilayer structure comprising a lightened plane 66, preferably made of honeycomb, of rigid plastics material, a damping layer 68 positioned above the lightened plane 66 in the direction 64, and two outer layers of fabric forming part of a fabric envelope 70 which includes the remainder of the panel 60.
  • the two outer fabric layers 72a and 72b are part of the envelope 52 which includes all the panels.
  • the invention is not limited to the embodiments presented and other embodiments will become apparent to those skilled in the art. It is possible in particular to vary the structure of the panels depending on the use, for example a monolayer structure of silicone or fabric, or the shape of the panels or their dimensions. It is also possible to replace the handle by any other mechanism to exert traction on the object.
  • the object may be in particular a child play mat or a trivet.
