Description

DESCRIPTION

Sliding system plus chest.

Object of the invention

The present invention relates to a sliding plus chest system that allows a larger chaise longe-like seating surface to be achieved by sliding a second seat portion that is initially hidden in the back of the sofa, in turn providing cavities so storage chest.

The industrial sector to which this invention belongs is the manufacture of furniture and rest elements.

Background of the invention

Although no invention identical to that described has been found, we present below the documents found that reflect the existing background.

Thus, document ES1028989U refers to a folding structure for furniture that can be transformed into a bed, which is constituted by a fixed frame intended to incorporate the interior or rear seat of the sofa, and by a folding assembly consisting of two frames articulated together , the first of whose frames is attached in a tilting and turning arrangement on the fixed frame, while the other frame is simply attached to that first frame by means of the corresponding hinge assembly, providing support legs in the free end area on the ground for horizontal maintenance in the deployed position. This is the typical furniture convertible into a bed, very different from the convertible sofa with chest, object of the present invention. The typical sofa bed is also known as the one described in document ES2218365T3. twenty.

Document ES1069101U describes a multipurpose, foldable and transportable armchair that reclines the interior or rear seat, consisting of an internal structure of tubes and transverse strips of articulated plastic material with padded foam padding and upholstery, 4 ES 2 547 495 A1 4 comprising a seat without legs and an interior or rear seat, coupled to each other by means of an adjustable articulation mechanism that allows the positioning of said backrest at different opening angles with respect to said seat.

Conclusions: As can be seen from the indicated inventions, none of the documents found solves the problems posed as the proposed invention does.

Description of the invention

This invention comes to solve a very common problem in today's homes: lack of space.

It consists of a new way to extend the surface of the seat by horizontally unfolding the sofa seat until it is converted into an extendable chaise longue or sofa bed type sofa and can be folded again until it becomes a standard sofa again.

It also has accommodation or bunkers with drawers inside the sofa.

The sofa extends its seat, forming a much larger seat, consisting of two different seat portions, a rear initially housed in the sofa frame, only available when it is in its final position (fully removed) and another front or seat, always available.

The sofa extends its seat, thanks to the fact that within the sofa frame there is a seat body, referred to as a rear seat portion, initially located in the plane perpendicular to the floor, which, by means of a sliding system, with their respective guides and stops are extracted longitudinally, remaining in the horizontal term to the ground, until gaining a greater extension of the seat. Thus, the surface of the interior or rear seat is added to that of the original seat, which allows it to become a sofa with a "chaise longue" seat or a sofa bed.

The novelty of the present invention consists in the system that allows the conversion of a sofa seat into another "chaise longue" or sofa bed according to the extension of the final seat configured by the union of both parts, front and rear, thanks to the sliding of the body interior or rear and its annexed to the external or front integrated in the frame.

The particularity of this sofa is that the interior seat or rear seat portion hidden inside the sofa frame, slides from the interior of the frame, working together, inseparable, to the sofa seat or front seat portion, by means of a set of hinges until you finish your journey in a second position or extended end position. Thus, a new and extended two-piece seat is configured, as a result of the union of the interior seat or rear part of the seat to the front of the original seat or seat, both being joined in a plane parallel to the floor, giving the sofa seat the length of "chaise longue" or bed, without altering the shape or structure of the sofa. This movement of extension or retraction of the seat can be done manually or motorized, at the will of the user.

In addition, the sofa has a skeleton interior or rear seat folding sofa, and swinging, giving the sofa in its final position a new configuration and functionality, a chest cabinet, with bunkers housed inside, subject to the frame by rails, guides and bearings.

Brief description of the drawings

To complement the description that is being made and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, a set of drawings is attached as an integral part of said description, where the following is represented with an illustrative and non-limiting nature:

Figure 1.- Shows a perspective view of the sliding system plus chest in its initial position. As can be seen, only the front seat portion is available, since the rear seat portion is hidden in the lower part of the inner or rear seat.

Figure 2.- Shows a perspective view of the sliding system plus chest in its final position. In this position, the seat has the two seat portions available for use.

Figure 3.- Shows a perspective view of the sliding system plus chest in its final position, showing the available chest at the bottom of the front seat portion.

Figure 4.- Shows a sequence of the operation of the sliding system plus chest, from its initial position to its final position, passing through an intermediate position. The object of This figure is to show more clearly the position of the different seating portions along the path of the system.

The main components that stand out in the different figures are:

(1) Front seat portion

(2) Rear seat portion

(3) Chest

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

As can be seen in Figures 1 to 6, the seat of the present invention can be placed in two different positions.

The position of figure 1 corresponds to the position of a conventional armchair, in which the outer seat portion (1) does not substantially protrude from the armchair and the inner seat (2) is hidden in the sofa frame, in a position suitable for ensure the comfort of a user when sitting in the seat of the present invention.

The position of figure 2 corresponds to the position with the front seat portion (1) in an extended position, and with the rear seat (2) in horizontal position joining both seats and configuring a new seat of greater length as it is You can see in this figure 2.

The position of figure 3 corresponds to a position that allows the user of the seat to raise the upper part thereof or cover and access a lower space or cavity with storage drawers.

For this, the front seat portion (1) is in its fully extended position, in which it protrudes from the sofa or seat more than in the position of Figure 1, and in addition the rear seat (2) is attached to the front ( 1) and is also in the horizontal plane to the ground. It is also accessible to the space of the lower front seat cavity when it is in the position of Figure 1, by lifting the upper part of the front seat, or cover.

To achieve these two positions the sofa, the sliding of the rear seat (2) is required, which is housed and hidden inside the sofa frame, according to figure 4, and once the mechanisms are manually or mechanically activated, when they are joined by hinges the front seat (2) slides between rails and stops, moving from a retracted position according to figure 5 to an extended position, to form a seat of greater length, in the horizontal plane, forming a chaise longe sofa or sofa bed, with cavities and drawers inside (3), accessible by raising the upper part of the seat (1), according to figure 6.

Thus, the present invention comprises, in a sofa with its frame, its rear seat portion (2), the front seat (1), both movable and joined, which once extended form a sofa bed or chaise longe and the storage space and drawers (3).

The backrest of the sofa and the frame are open and accessible by means of side covers allowing access to the interior backrest and frame space in order to facilitate storage in these spaces.
