Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a movement mechanism.
- The present invention is advantageously used in the field of furnishings upholstered furniture and it is applicable in recliner chair, or in a sofa with at least one recliner place, for moving mobile parts, in particular the sitting of the cited reclining armchair or sofa, or even footrest, back-rests and the like, to which the following description will make explicit reference without thereby losing generality.
- Generally, in the upholstered furniture industry mechanisms are known for the movement of mobile parts of a chair or a reclining sofa defined by hinged articulated quadrilateral type-like levers to move such movable parts between a reclined closed position and an open position of maximum extension adapted to realize a configuration of the chair or sofa known as "relax" position.
- Currently such articulated mechanisms made of metallic material are very bulky, and are subject to easy wear out.
- In addition, In addition, the hinged lever and articulated wishbones cause security problems related to the danger of shearing and cutting: in order to solve these problems, the upholstery of the chair or sofa should be geared to cover the mechanism and prevent people and pets can be damaged.
- This safety requirement requires construction of upholstered structures aesthetically forced and heavy because they have to cover the mechanism.
- Furthermore, the shapes of such mechanisms are often not satisfactory from the aesthetic point of view, and do not integrate well with the design features of the armchairs or sofas supporting such mechanisms.
- The purpose of the present invention is therefor to provide a movement mechanism which is free from the drawbacks of prior art specified above.
- In particular, the aim of the present invention is to provide an efficient and durable movement mechanism, so as to drastically reduce the possibility of wear out and breakage during functional operation, as well as to users safety problems.
- A further object of the present invention is to provide a movement mechanism that integrates perfectly and optimally with the aesthetic shapes of the armchairs or sofas designs.
- The structural and functional characteristics of the present invention and its advantages will become even more clear and evident from the underlying claims, and in particular from an examination of the description that follows, referring to the attached figures, which show a preferred but not limiting embodiment of the mechanism of in object, in which:
-
Figure 1 shows in a schematic perspective view exemplifying a frame structure of a recliner supporting the mechanism in object and in a closed operating position; -
Figure 2 shows a perspective schematic exploded view and on an enlarged scale of a preferred embodiment of the moving mechanism in object; -
Figure 3 shows a perspective schematic exploded view and on an enlarged scale of some components of the mechanism ofFigure 1 ; -
Figure 4 shows a perspective schematic exploded view and on an enlarged scale of some components of the mechanism ofFigure 3 ; -
Figures 5a, 5b and 5c show respective schematic side views of three different operating positions of the mechanism of the present invention and illustrated inFigures 2 to 4 . - With reference to
Figure 1 , with T is generally indicated a frame structure (trunk) of a mobile recliner upholstered MI, such as a reclining chair or sofa with movable parts, such frame T, also provided with armrests (known and not shown), is adapted to carry mounted a movement mechanism M according to the present invention to move in particular the upholstered sitting - SE (also including footrest) of the mobile recliner upholstered MI.
- The mechanism M is of the extensible type-like components with telescopic mode and comprises, preferably but not limited to, two
movement groups group 1 mounted on an L1 side of the frame T and theother group 2 mounted on an opposite side L2 of the frame T, then with specular shape. - As shown in
Figure 2 , eachgroup pair 3 of profiledelements 4 and 4' adapted to be formed so as to have, each, in correspondence of a inner surface Si, of curvilinearhollow seats - The
elements 4 and 4' are coupled on the opposite side laterally toactuator member 7 provided with free-rotatable rollers same actuator member 7, so thatsuche rollers respective seats element 4 and 4' for sliding, in use, within thesame seats 5. - As shown more clearly in
Figure 3 , theactuator member 7 comprises acentral body actuator 10 coupled and closed laterally by two profiledelements 11 and 11' supporting externally therollers - The two
elements 11 and 11 'of the pair C1 are shaped so as to have, each, in correspondence with its own inner surface Sii, a curvilinear hollow seat 12. - As shown more clearly in
Figure 4 , theactuator body 10 is of the linear type and comprises anshaft screw element 13 connected to anelectric drive motor 14 for moving saidelement 13, in a clockwise rotating direction or, alternatively, in a opposite counterclockwise direction, so as to bring ablock 15, provided with apin 16 which protrudes from both sides of thesaid block 15 and sliding on saidelement 13, to slide to and from theelectric motor 14 on thecentral body 10. Thecentral body 10 is closed laterally by a pair C2 ofplates 17, 17', each of whichplates 17,17' mounted to afree end 18,19 apivotable arm element pair end plate 17,17' is provided with ahollow seat respective plate 17,17'. - Each
seat pin 16 projecting from theblock 15 to move forward or backward theplates 17, and 17 'of the couple C2. - As shown in
Figures 5a to 5c , in use, the mechanism M so structured, with the upper surfaces of theelements electric motor 14 suitably operated by a user of the mobile MI, is adapted to move the sitting SE itself between a closed position PC (Figure 5a ), which corresponds to substantially erected user's bust, and an open extended position PE, and then reclined (Figure 5c ) known as "relax", passing through a substantially intermediate position PI (Figure 5b ) only partially extended. - In other words, by controlling the drive of the
motor 14 which activates theactuator member 7, the progressive movement of theelements 11,11 'of the pair C1 is firstly obtained up to a maximum extension configuration of thesame elements 11,11' in said intermediate position PI, then gradually the movement of theplates 17,17 'of the pair C2 up to a configuration of maximum extension of thesame elements 17,17' in the aforementioned extended position PE, and vice versa to return the sitting SE in the closed position PC. - It's to be noted that, in correspondence of the cited extended position PE, the footrest above mentioned can be rotated upwards around the axis of R2 to thereby further increase the extent of the sitting SE of the upholstered furniture MI.
- To the
central body 10 is also mechanically connected, through apin 29 of the samecentral body 10, a known hinged bar type-like element 28 (Figure 2 andFigures 5a - 5c ) adapted to support, in a known manner and not illustrated, a backrest (also known and not illustrated) in such a way that the cited positions PC and PE correspond to a similar movement of the backrest concordant with that one of the sitting SE, i.e. with theelement 28 that varies its inclination allowing to the backrest connected to it to recline backwards, simultaneously to the extension of the sitting SE or only later so allowing to get the so-called position "TV" (user's legs up and bust erected to watch a TV screen). - All the above parts of the mechanism M described above, with the exception of the
shaft element 13 made of steel or equivalent, may advantageously be implemented in various types of material, also non-metallic such as plastic, Teflon, various composite materials such as carbon fiber or equivalent, so as to ensure resistance and excellent durability and at the same time giving light weight and reliability.
