Abstract

A structure (S) for a relax armchair comprises a reclining backrest (1) frame (T1), a seat (2) frame (T2) and a base element (3), wherein said backrest (1) frame (T1) is connected to first movement means (A) for moving said backrest (1) from and towards a reclined position (PR) of said backrest (1), and said seat (2) frame (T2) being provided with extension members (K) connected to second movement means (B) for moving said seat (2) from and towards an extended open position (PE).

Description

The present model relates to an improved structure for a relax armchair.
In particular, the model in question is advantageously used in the sector of production and marketing of upholstered furniture such as armchairs, chairs or equivalent which can be reclined and with mobile parts which can be extended or opened and extended, thus allowing the users to lie down in a rest position.
The object of the present model is that of realizing an armchair structure with a reclining backrest and with extensible front parts which is easy and practical to use and capable of being effectively and quickly brought to and from its open configuration. Another object of the present model is to provide a structure for an armchair which in its open configuration allows a comfortable and effective support of the users' legs.
The structural and functional characteristics of the present model and its advantages over the known art will result even more clear and evident from the underlying claims, and in particular from an examination of the following description, referred to the attached drawings, which show the schematization of a preferred but non-limiting embodiment of an improved structure of a relaxation chair, wherein:

Figure 1 is a perspective view of the improved frame structure for a relaxation chair subject of the present model in its own operating position;

Figure 2 is a top view on an enlarged scale of a seating portion of the structure shown in Figure 1;
Figure 3 is a perspective view of the armchair frame structure object of the present model in its own rest position;
Figure 4 is a perspective view of the frame structure of Figure 1 with its own front portion in an open configuration; And

Figure 5 represents an exploded schematic perspective view of the frame structure in question.

With reference to the attached figures 1 to 5, S globally indicates a structure used in the sector of production and marketing of upholstered furniture such as armchairs, chairs or equivalent with reclining backs and with extensible or open and elongated movable front parts.
The structure S comprises a reclining backrest 1 frame T1 adapted to be in use, moved and movable from and to a reclined position PR (Figure 3) under the thrust of movement means A, a seat frame T2 2 provided with members K of extension for the extension of the seat 2 itself from and towards an extended open position PE (Figures 2, 3 and 4), and a base element 3 of the type with four spokes for supporting the structure ST itself (Figure 5).
The aforesaid movement means A are substantially defined as actuator means A of the gas piston type or equivalent able to act on the aforesaid backrest 1 on command of remote control means (known and not illustrated) and actuated by the user.
The aforementioned extension members K of the frame T2 of the seat 2 are defined by a plurality of arms 4 hinged in an articulated quadrilateral and telescopic rods 5, arranged hidden below the seat 2 (Figures 1 and 2) in their closed position PC to open and extend until it reaches the extended position PE (Figures 3 and 4) under the thrust of movement means B of the gas piston type a or equivalent capable of acting on the members K on command of remote control means (known and not illustrated) and operated by the user.
In this way, in correspondence with the cited position PE of the structure S, the user's legs can comfortably rest on a platform 6 slightly raised upwards and brought to the end of the cited members K, as can be better seen in Figures 3 and 4 attached. Preferably but not limitedly, as better illustrated in Figure 3, the reclined position of the backrest 1 and the open position PE are used in combination or simultaneously, for an optimal comfort and rest for the user.

Claims

Improved structure (S) for a relaxation armchair, comprising a reclining backrest (1) frame (T1), a seat frame (T2) (2) and a base element (3), characterized in that the said frame (T1) of backrest (1) is connected to first movement means (A) for moving said backrest (1) from and towards a reclined position (PR) of said backrest (1), and that said frame (T2 ) seat (2) is provided with extension members (K) connected to second movement means (B) for moving said seat (2) from and towards an extended open position (PE) .
Structure according to claim 1, characterized in that the said extension members (K) of the said frame (T2) of the seat (2) are defined by a plurality of arms (4) hinged in an articulated quadrilateral and rods (5) telescopic, arranged hidden under said seat (2) in correspondence with its own closed position (PC) to open and extend until it reaches said extended position (PE).
Structure according to claim 1 or 2, characterized in that said first and second movement means (A,B) comprise piston actuator means.
Structure according to one or more of claims from 1 to 3, characterized in that said first and second handling means (A,B) are operated in combination by means of remotely controlled means.
