Description

Seat base.

Object of the invention

The invention described herein has its main application in the provision of seats to the general public to use in places attended to witness any crowd show, sporting event, etc., outdoors or in any other circumstance or other place where a person require a sturdy and moderately comfortable seat, to low price.

More specifically, the present invention is refers to a seat base, preferably made of cardboard, with a honeycomb shaped honeycomb configuration, between two sandwich sheets.

It is therefore an object of the invention that the basis of seat is easy to manufacture, in cheap materials and preferably recyclable, while providing strength and insulation to be used outdoors in more than one chance.

Another object of the invention is to provide a means advertising promotion through the possibility of incorporating text or drawings printed on the outside of the cardboard sheets that make up the proposed seat base.

Background of the invention

Today, celebrations are very frequent of public, cultural, sporting, entertainment events, etc., many times outdoors, which people go to in mass.

Attendance at such shows at weathering sometimes means staying static, constantly standing in one place, causing fatigue in individuals and discomfort among attendees wanting to position themselves to see well.

Therefore, the use of seats at the event venue, but in most spaces open audiences where they are organized, such as stadiums, squares, car parks, etc., it is difficult to provide all Spectators with good seats.

Given these facts, many people are forced to buy there or bring from your own homes, some cushions or fine portable chairs, with considerable cost in effort and money that implies.

In most cases, when trying ensure a more or less comfortable place among the public of the event each carrying his cushion or folding stool, the spectator the nuisance again at the end of the show of loading with your own seat, since they are not normally disposable.

As a solution to these inconveniences, there are currently lightweight folding seats, such as cardboard or plastic, obtained from the development of one or more sheets with cut and fold lines that allow the assembly of the seat " in situ " , being able to disassemble and comfortably transport the user.

Said seats made of sheets stamped folded cardboard or other similar material adopting the The shape of a chair, with or without a backrest, has the advantage of have a reduced price compared to conventional chairs wood, metal and other rigid but non-recyclable materials easily.

On the contrary, they have the disadvantage that tend to be more uncomfortable and less resistant, being serviceable For single use.

On the other hand, in the manufacture of structures of cardboard, it is well known that a configuration with alveoli forming a honeycomb gives a remarkable resistance to the structure, facing flexion as well as compression, keeping it with a light weight.

Currently, among other applications, the honeycomb honeycomb structure is usual in conditioners of packaging, usually used for handling products delicate or perishable, including foods such as fruits, pastry shop, etc.

However, the applicant does not know that apply as a base, as a chair or cushion, to sit.

Description of the invention

The present invention resolves, among others, the problem discussed above, fully satisfactory in each and every one of the different aspects commented, offering interesting improvements over background.

The proposed invention is designed with a structure and materials that allow its use as a seat, resistant as well as economical, being able to be used several times or be disposable after use.

It is a seat base comprising in essence a central structure with alveoli, preferably in honeycomb shape although it can adopt other configurations, integrated between two sheets of cardboard or other similar material, one upper and lower, conventionally joined by means of Some kind of tail.

The traditional honeycomb structure is manufactured in cardboard, with the advantages that such material entails: ease of obtaining, economic price, manageability, etc.

With the honeycomb between the two sheets that make up the base of the seat, lightness is achieved while high compressive strength as well as insulation thermal that provides the cardboard, giving the set of a remarkable thickness and to be able to withstand the weight of a problem without problem person for a long time.

The raw material of the seat base, whose simplicity and economy of manufacturing is evident, it is recyclable one hundred per cent, being able to be constituted entirely or partly by Old paper seized after use.

The invention is even more profitable, if take advantage of the cardboard sheets that form the basis of the seat, to incorporate advertising motifs, figures or text, drawn or printed on their external faces, being able to use as an element of promotion, in the same place of organization of the event where the seat can be used, or as a means of mobile advertising that the user carries to the site they want.

Said seat base can be incorporated into a existing chair at the event site itself or on a stool or another folding chair available by the user, being part integral to the same chair or as a simple cushion independent, which can be discarded after use in any garbage container, relieving the user of the trouble of having What to carry with him when the show ends.

A practical example of use that could have a lot  distribution in our country is like a seat in the bullring or to go to football.

Even so, thanks to its resistance, the user you can choose to keep it for another occasion, because the nest of Cardboard bee is very light.

In order to reinforce the outer surface of the seat base, its sheets can be externally equipped with a layer of waterproofing, plastic or varnished, that protects the humidity set, frequent if the event is held at fresh air.

Another alternative is to add a sheet of paper or  plasticized, with printed advertising adhered to the external face of at least one of the cardboard sheets that make up the base of described seat.

Description of the drawings

To complement the description that is being performing and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, according to a preferred example of practical realization of it, is accompanied as part member of this Utility Model, a game of drawings where with an illustrative and non-limiting nature, what has been represented next:
