La présente invention concerne un dispositif permettant la rotation à 360 d'une chaise longue, sur un axe horizontal, alors que son utilisateur y reste assis ou allongé, sans que ce dernier n'ait à prendre appui sur le sol. The present invention relates to a device for rotating 360 of a lounge chair, on a horizontal axis, while the user remains sitting or lying there, without the latter having to bear on the ground.

Les chaises longues sont des supports de repos généralement composés d'une assise, elle-même composée d'un support pour la partie supérieure du corps et d'un support pour la partie inférieure du corps, sur laquelle sont fixés un ou plusieurs pieds en appui sur le sol. Habituellement, l'utilisateur d'une chaise longue n'appose pas ses pieds sur le sol. Par conséquent, l'utilisateur d'une chaise longue qui souhaite suivre la rotation du soleil au cours d'un certain laps de temps doit régulièrement se lever et déplacer sa chaise longue manuellement, ce qui requiert un certain effort physique. The lounge chairs are resting supports generally composed of a seat, itself composed of a support for the upper part of the body and a support for the lower part of the body, on which are fixed one or more feet. support on the ground. Usually, the user of a deck chair does not put his feet on the floor. Therefore, the user of a lounge chair who wishes to follow the rotation of the sun during a certain period of time must regularly get up and move his deckchair manually, which requires some physical effort.

Certaines chaises longues peuvent permettre à l'utilisateur de leur faire effectuer une rotation sur le plan horizontal sans avoir à se lever, sous réserve que ce dernier utilise la force de ses jambes, lesquelles doivent prendre appui sur le sol pour exercer une poussée latérale, ce qui ne réduit que partiellement l'effort à effectuer pour obtenir la rotation désirée. Some lounge chairs may allow the user to rotate them horizontally without having to get up, provided that the latter uses the force of his legs, which must rest on the ground to exert a lateral thrust, which only partially reduces the effort required to achieve the desired rotation.

Le dispositif selon l'invention permet de remédier à cet inconvénient. Il comporte, selon une première revendication, un socle rotatif pour assise de chaise longue lui-même composé de deux supports: un support fixe monobloc en appui sur le sol comportant en son axe central un usinage cylindrique proéminent de type boîte à camembert surmonté d'un pignon fixe et sur lequel sont fixés en étoile - autours dudit pignon -des rouleaux, ainsi qu'un support rotatif composé de deux blocs assemblés autours de l'usinage cylindrique de type boîte à camembert , sur lequel est fixé une assise de chaise longue, et comprenant sur sa partie extérieure un volant rotatif surmonté d'un pignon d'entraînement sur lequel est positionnée une courroie d'entraînement crantée traversant latéralement l'un des blocs du support rotatif et positionnée en son autre extrémité sur le pignon fixe du support fixe. La rotation manuelle du volant entraîne ainsi la rotation du pignon d'entraînement, lequel entraîne la courroie d'entraînement et permet ainsi de réaliser la rotation du Support de l'assise, et donc de l'assise elle-même. The device according to the invention overcomes this disadvantage. It comprises, according to a first claim, a rotary base for a chaise longue seat itself composed of two supports: a fixed one-piece support resting on the ground comprising in its central axis a cylindrical machining prominent camembert-type box surmounted by a fixed pinion and on which are fixed in a star - around said pinion - rollers, and a rotating support consisting of two blocks assembled around the cylindrical machining type camembert box, on which is fixed a seat of chaise longue , and comprising on its outer part a rotary flywheel surmounted by a drive pinion on which is positioned a toothed drive belt laterally traversing one of the blocks of the rotary support and positioned at its other end on the fixed gear of the support fixed. The manual rotation of the flywheel thus causes the rotation of the drive pinion, which drives the drive belt and thus makes it possible to rotate the support of the seat, and thus of the seat itself.

Selon des modes particuliers de réalisation: Les rouleaux peuvent être remplacés par des roulements à bille; - La courroie d'entraînement crantée peut être remplacée par une chaîne d'entraînement; - Le support fixe peut comporter un orifice permettant de le remplir d'eau pou de sable aux fins d'augmenter la portance et la stabilité dudit support. According to particular embodiments: The rollers may be replaced by ball bearings; - The notched drive belt can be replaced by a drive chain; - The fixed support may comprise an orifice for filling it with water for sand to increase the lift and stability of said support.

En référence à ces figures, le dispositif comporte un socle composé d'un support fixe et d'un support rotatif et plus précisément: IO - Un support fixe monobloc (1) apposé au sol, comportant en son axe central un usinage cylindrique proéminent de type boîte à camembert (13), distingué de la partie inférieure dudit socle par une saillie circulaire (14) et surmonté d'un pignon fixe monobloc (11). Huit rouleaux rotatifs (5) sont fixés en étoile autours du pignon fixe monobloc (II) sur l'usinage cylindrique proéminent de type boîte à camembert (13),. With reference to these figures, the device comprises a base consisting of a fixed support and a rotary support and more specifically: IO - A fixed one-piece support (1) affixed to the ground, comprising in its central axis a cylindrical machining prominent of pie-box type (13), distinguished from the lower part of said base by a circular projection (14) and surmounted by a fixed one-piece gear (11). Eight rotary rollers (5) are star-fixed around the fixed one-piece gear (II) on the prominent cylindrical camembert-type machining (13).

chacun au moyen d'une tige de maintien et de rotation (6). Le support fixe (1) peut être plein ou creux, auquel cas il peut comporter un orifice (12) sur sa partie supérieure, permettant de le remplir d'eau ou de sable aux fins d'assurer sa stabilité. each by means of a holding rod and rotation (6). The fixed support (1) may be solid or hollow, in which case it may include an orifice (12) on its upper part, allowing it to be filled with water or sand in order to ensure its stability.

- Un support rotatif (2) sur lequel est fixée l'assise de chaise longue (15) au moyen de quatre vis (4a à 4d). Le support rotatif est composé de deux blocs assemblés au moyen de vis (3a à 3h) autour de l'usinage cylindrique de type boîte à camembert (13) et des rouleaux qu'il comporte (5), la base des dits blocs s'encastrant dans la saillie circulaire (14) du support fixe (1). Le support rotatif (2) encastre ainsi le support fixe (1), tout en conservant sa mobilité en rotation, et l'assise de chaise longue (15) reste maintenue sur le plan horizontal. Sur l'un des côtés du support rotatif est fixé un volant (7) surmonté d'un pignon d'entraînement (8) maintenu par clavette(s), permettant d'entraîner une courroie d'entraînement (10) traversant horizontalement le bloc du support rotatif (2) sur lequel le volant (7) est fixé, ledit bloc comportant une cavité (16) usinée à cet effet. La courroie d'entraînement (10) est positionnée à son autre extrémité sur le pignon fixe (11) solidaire du support fixe (1) . La rotation manuelle du volant (7) entraîne ainsi la rotation du support rotatif (2) et donc de l'assise de chaise longue (I5) - sur le support fixe (1), dans le sens opposé de la rotation du volant (7). - A rotatable support (2) on which is fixed the chair seat (15) by means of four screws (4a to 4d). The rotary support is composed of two blocks assembled by means of screws (3a to 3h) around the cylindrical machining of the pie-box type (13) and the rollers that it comprises (5), the base of said blocks being embedded in the circular projection (14) of the fixed support (1). The rotary support (2) thus encases the fixed support (1), while maintaining its mobility in rotation, and the lounge chair (15) remains maintained on the horizontal plane. On one side of the rotary support is fixed a flywheel (7) surmounted by a drive pinion (8) held by key (s), for driving a drive belt (10) traversing the block horizontally the rotary support (2) on which the flywheel (7) is fixed, said block having a cavity (16) machined for this purpose. The drive belt (10) is positioned at its other end on the fixed gear (11) integral with the fixed support (1). The manual rotation of the flywheel (7) thus causes rotation of the rotary support (2) and thus of the long chair seat (I5) - on the fixed support (1), in the opposite direction of the rotation of the steering wheel (7). ).
