Description
- The invention refers to a rotary joint, and to a furniture item comprising the joint.
- Folding chairs such as picnic chairs, taken as an example here, are often foldable and collapsible to take up less space during transport. The chair frame is made with a pair of suitably curved metal tubes hinged together with a rivet or screw.
- A problem with these chairs is that the relative position of the tubes is unstable at the end-of-travel positions, and there is no intermediate adjustment between the two end-of-travel positions. Conversely, it would be desirable to improve the stability of these chairs and provide less coarse adjustments.
- The main object of the invention, defined in the attached claims in which the dependent ones define advantageous variants, is to improve this state of the art.
- Particular object is to create a joint to solve at least one of the aforementioned problems.

- a coupling member that passes through the first and second members to hold them axially together and pivot them about a common rotation axis.
- To fix angular positions of the joint the first member and the second member comprise respectively
- a first surface and a second surface which face each other (and for example are sliding on each other), wherein the first surface comprises a protrusion and the second surface comprises a seat, or vice versa,

More preferably the concavity is provided with a fastening member for fixing one of the two parts therein.
- In a variant, which maximizes the coupling stability, also or only the second member, on a portion opposite the second surface, comprises a second concavity to house therein in a complementary manner the other of the two parts, the concavity facing away from the coupling member (in a direction opposite the coupling member). More preferably, the second concavity is provided with a fastening member for fixing the other of the two parts therein.
- The joint allows said parts to be hinged in various ways, according to the arrangement of said concavities with respect to the rotation axis. In a variant, said axis is arranged so as to be incident on the surface of one or each of said concavities, preferably incident on the center of one or each of said concavities.

- In a variant, the first and second members are two blocks hinged together along a central axis.
- In a variant, the first and second members are approximately L- shaped, are hinged together at one end or semi-portion of the L, and have said concavity between the two wings (or segments) of the L.
- In a preferred variant, the projection is movable relative to the first surface for retracting into the first surface, e.g. along a direction orthogonal to the first surface. In a more preferred variant, the movable protrusion is coupled to an elastic member, the elastic member being mounted in the first member to bias the movable protrusion outwards of the first surface.

- A rotary joint 10 (see dotted circle in
fig. 1 and enlargements infigs. 2-4 ) is applicable for example to achair 12. Thechair 12 has e.g. a tubular frame that defines fourlegs 14, twosides 16 of a seat, twosides 18 of a backrest and twoarmrests 20. In particular, a first foldedtubular member 98 forms thefront legs 14, thesides 16 of the seat and thesides 18 of the backrest, while a secondtubular member 96 forms therear legs 14 and thearmrests 20. - To collapse the
chair 12, therear legs 14 are hinged to the sides of theseat 16 via therotary joint 10. Therotary joint 10 comprises afirst member 32 and asecond member 30 that are relatively rotatable, and therear legs 14 are fixed to themember 32 and thesides 16 of the seat are fixed to themember 30. - Each
member fig. 4 ) asurface 34 and asurface 36 which face each other and for example are slidable on each other. - A
central pin 28, e.g. a telescope screw, crosses and stably joins the twomembers central pin 28 coincides with an X axis of relative rotation for themembers surfaces - In the surface 36 (or 34) a, e.g. ball,
dowel 40 is installed which is radially offset with respect to the X axis and whose head protrudes from the surface 36 (or 34) and can engage one or morecomplementary seats 42 provided on the opposite surface 34 (or 36). - The
seats 42 are arranged along an arc that thedowel 40 travels when the twomembers - The
members tubular members member 32 comprises aconcavity 44 in which abracket 90, integral with thetubular member 96, can be snugly housed and fixed. For example, thecentral pin 28 is exploited to fix the bracket 90: it has a hole into which thecentral pin 28 is inserted. - The
member 30 instead comprises aconcavity 46 whose surface is complementary to the lateral surface of a cylinder (and of the tubular member 98), i.e. the radius of curvature of theconcavity 46 is equal to that of thetubular member 98. Thus theconcavity 46 is adapted to receive thetubular member 98 in a stable way. - E.g. the
central pin 28 is exploited to fix thetubular member 98 in the concavity 46: thecentral pin 28 passes through thetubular member 98 and holds it in theconcavity 46. - The
members abutment surfaces abutments members - From the foregoing it is understood that by manually moving the
tubular members first member 32 rotates with respect to thesecond member 30, bringing thedowel 40 from one of theseats 42 into another. When thedowel 40 has arrived inside thenew seat 42 it blocks the relative angular position of themembers chair 12 connected to them. - The number of
seats 42 determines the number of stable positions for the first andsecond members second members - In a variant, see
fig. 6 , a joint 50 differs from the joint 10 because it has afirst member 52 different from thefirst member 32. Here thefirst member 52 also has aconcavity 56 whose surface is complementary to the lateral surface of a cylinder (and of the tubular member 96), like theconcavity 46. Thus bothmembers - The
concavities - A third variant is the joint 60 of
fig. 7 and 8 , useful e.g. to articulatetubular members first member 62 and asecond member 64, approximately L-shaped, which are relatively rotatable. Eachmember fig. 4 ) asurface 66 and asurface 68 which face each other and slide on each other. - A
central pin 70, e.g. a telescope screw, crosses thesurfaces members central pin 70 coincides with an X2 axis of relative rotation for themembers surfaces tubular members - The
surfaces dowel 40 and theseats 42, with the same conformation and function. - The
members tubular members member concavity concavity 46 to snugly accommodate and fix therein therespective tubular member - The
concavities - From the foregoing it is understood that by manually moving the
tubular members first member 62 is rotated with respect to the second 64, thereby causing the dowel to jump from one of the seats to another and establishing a relative angular position of themembers - This variant allows the rotation of the
tubular members tubular members tubular members - Preferably the
dowel 40 is pushed by anelastic member 100, e.g. a spring, towards the outside of thesurface 34; but for example the mechanical deformation of theseat 42 can also be sufficient. - The
elastic member 100 allows the resistance of the joint to be modulated during a variation of stable angular position. - The joint may be applied to articulate tubular or non-tubular structures, with circular or polygonal cross-section, or other, by changing the profile of the
concavities - The
members - Note that the action of the
elastic member 100 pushing on thedowel 40, and therefore on the respective concave seat, also allows the elimination of axial play. - Generally speaking, the
ball dowel 40 represents a possible solution but not the only one to obtain the result described above. A variant envisages that the protrusion of thedowel 40 is replaced by an equivalent protrusion integrally provided on thesecond member tubular structure 96, curved to give a certain pre-load and guarantee such thrust. - The
