Description

  The present invention relates to a method of attaching a skin material to be mounted so as to cover a surface of a backrest of a chair, a seat plate of a seat, and the like, and a chair to which the skin material is attached.

  As a chair in which a skin material is attached to a board such as a back plate or a seat board of a chair, as described in Patent Document 1, for example, a cushion material attached to the surface of the board is covered with the skin material, On the back side, there is one in which the tightening string inserted through the peripheral edge of the skin material is tensioned to narrow the peripheral edge. Such a method of attaching the skin material is generally applied to a substrate having a substantially flat plate shape. If the substrate is bent to the surface side near the center, a fastening string is used. When tightening and shrinking the periphery of the skin material, the periphery of the tightening string that opposes in the vicinity of the bent portion is greatly separated from the back surface of the substrate, so that the skin material is loosened in the vicinity of the bent portion and the surface is likely to wrinkle. .

In order to solve this problem, for example, in Patent Document 2, a cushion material provided on the surface of a substrate whose middle portion is bent in a letter-like shape in a side view is covered with a skin material, and the periphery of the skin material is covered. By locking the attached tightening string to the locking portions provided on the back surfaces of both sides near the bent portion of the substrate, the peripheral edge of the skin material is separated from the back surface of the substrate in the vicinity of the bent portion of the substrate. There is something to prevent.
Further, for example, in Patent Document 3, the surface of a substrate (back plate) whose middle portion in the vertical direction is bent in the shape of a side view is covered with a skin material, and the synthetic resin is fixed to both sides of the skin material. When the tape-shaped side edge member is fitted to the upper and lower bosses projecting from the back surface of both side portions on the back surface side of the back plate, both side portions of the skin material are detached from the substrate or loosened. A chair that can prevent this is disclosed.

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 9-10450 JP 2005-160894 A Japanese Patent Laying-Open No. 2011-92544 (FIG. 13 etc.)

  In the chair described in Patent Document 2, since the peripheral edges of both side portions of the skin material are locked to the locking portions only in the vicinity of the bent portion of the substrate, the tightening string is loosened or the skin material is left and right. When it is pulled strongly in the direction, both sides of the skin material may move toward the surface side of the substrate in a portion that is not locked by the locking portion, and the surface of the skin material may be loosened.

  Also in the chair described in Patent Document 3, both sides of the skin material are partially fitted in a discontinuous manner to a plurality of bosses that project apart from each other, so that the skin material is left and right. When pulled strongly in the direction, the portion of the skin material that is not fitted to the boss may move to the surface side of the substrate. Also, since both sides of the skin material are partially fitted to the boss, and the attachment strength of both sides of the skin material to the back plate is based only on the fitting between the boss and the mounting hole, the skin material When is pulled strongly in the left-right direction, a large pulling force is locally applied to the mounting hole, and the mounting hole may be torn.

Furthermore, since it is necessary to fix a side edge member made of synthetic resin, which is a separate member, on both sides of the skin material, or to make a mounting hole in this edge material, the cost of the skin material increases. There's a problem.
To attach and detach the skin material, the substrate must be completely removed from the back frame, and then the edge member must be detached from the boss. Therefore, the work of attaching and detaching the skin material is troublesome.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems, and the skin material covering the surface of the substrate is free from slack and wrinkles without performing any processing on the substrate or using special attachment means. An object of the present invention is to provide a method of attaching a skin material to a board of a chair, and a chair, which can prevent the lateral displacement and can be attached tightly and easily.

According to the method of attaching the skin material to the board of the chair of the present invention, the above problems are solved as described in the following items.
(1) a substrate support frame supported by a leg or a support provided thereon, and a substrate attached to the surface side of the substrate support frame and having an intermediate portion bent convexly toward the surface side in a side view The board in a chair provided with a skin material having a folded portion folded back on the back surface side, covering the outer periphery of the substrate and a part of the back surface continuous with the periphery of the planar portion covering the surface of the substrate. A method for attaching a skin material, wherein the folded portions on the left and right side portions of the skin material can be extended in the longitudinal direction, and by extending the left and right folded portions, the skin material is placed on the substrate, and the folded portions around it. Is attached from the front surface side so as to cover the outer peripheral portion of the back surface of the substrate, and then at least the back surface of the folded portion of the left and right side portions facing the bent portion of the substrate is placed on both the left and right sides of the substrate support frame. The protrusion protruding surface side of the section, is pressed toward the surface side, attaching said substrate to the substrate support frame.

According to such a configuration, when the back surface of the bent portion of the substrate in the folded portion on both the left and right sides is pressed to the surface side by the protruding portions on the left and right sides of the substrate support frame, tension is applied to the folded portion on both sides, Since the surface of the skin material is pulled to the left and right sides, the skin material will be loosened and wrinkled on the substrate without any processing or using special attachment means. It is possible to prevent this from happening and tighten it tightly.
Further, when the folded portions on both sides are pressed to the surface side, both sides of the skin material are in close contact with both sides of the substrate and the frictional resistance is increased, so that the possibility of the skin material being shifted outward is reduced. Therefore, it is not necessary to use a skin tightening string or fixing means.
Furthermore, since the folded portions on both sides can be extended in the longitudinal direction, the skin material can be easily attached to or detached from the substrate.

(2) In the above item (1), the folded portion of the skin material excluding the folded portions on both the left and right sides is made inextensible.

  According to such a configuration, the tension when pressing the folded portions on both sides is transmitted to the folded portions other than the both sides, and they are prevented from extending at the same time. It is possible to prevent the portion from sagging over the entire circumference and prevent the surface portion from being slackened or wrinkled.

(3) In the above item (2), the stretch preventing member is attached to the folded portion of the skin material excluding the folded portions on the left and right side portions, thereby making the portion non-stretchable.

  According to such a structure, the folding | returning part of the general skin material used for a chair can be easily made into an expansion-contraction simply by attaching an expansion | extension stop member.

(4) In the above item (3), the stretch preventing member is made of a synthetic resin stretch preventing tape or a stretch preventing plate.

  According to such a configuration, the folded portion of the skin material can be reinforced.

(5) In any one of the above items (1) to (4), ribs facing the longitudinal direction and projecting to the front surface side as projections are provided on the left and right sides of the substrate support frame. The folded portions on both the left and right sides are clamped by the back surface of the substrate.

  According to such a configuration, it is possible to prevent the folded portions on both the left and right sides from coming off the outside of the substrate and the occurrence of slack in the surface portion of the skin material.

(6) In the above item (5), on the inner side of the ribs of the substrate support frame, longitudinal protrusions projecting toward the rear surface are provided on the back surfaces of the left and right sides of the substrate. The folded portions on the left and right sides are clamped by the surface of the support frame.

  According to such a configuration, the folded portions on the left and right side portions are sandwiched between the inner side and the outer side, so that the folded portions on the left and right side portions can be disengaged to the outer side of the substrate. It is surely prevented that slack is generated.

According to the chair of the present invention, the above problems are solved as follows.
(7) A substrate support frame that is supported by a leg or a support provided thereon and has protrusions projecting to the surface side on both sides, and is attached to the surface side of the substrate support frame, and the intermediate portion is the surface in a side view A substrate bent in a convex shape toward the side, a planar portion covering the surface of the substrate, a peripheral portion thereof, and folded back to the back surface side so as to cover the back surface outer peripheral portion of the substrate, and at least left and right Both sides of the folded portion, and at least the back surface of the portion facing the bent portion of the substrate at the left and right sides of the folded portion is extended to the front side by the protrusion of the substrate support frame. And a skin material pressed toward the surface.

According to such a configuration, the back surface of the bent portion of the substrate at the folded portion on both the left and right sides is pressed to the front side by the protruding portions on both the left and right sides of the substrate support frame, and the folded portion on both sides Because the tension is applied and the surface portion of the skin material is pulled to the left and right sides, the skin material is loosened on the board without any processing or using special attachment means. It is possible to prevent tightness and wrinkles and tighten them tightly.
Also, if the folded portions on both sides in the stretched state are pressed to the front side, both sides of the skin material will be in close contact with both sides of the substrate and the frictional resistance will increase, so the skin material may shift outward. Becomes smaller. Therefore, it is not necessary to use a skin tightening string or fixing means.
Furthermore, since the folded portions on both sides can be extended in the longitudinal direction, the skin material can be easily attached to or detached from the substrate.

(8) In the above item (7), the stretch preventing member is attached to the folded portion of the skin material except for the folded portions on both the left and right sides, thereby making the portion non-stretchable.

  According to such a configuration, it is possible to provide a chair in which the stretchable member cannot be easily expanded and contracted simply by attaching the stretch preventing member to the folded portion of a general skin material.

(9) In the above item (8), the stretch preventing member is made of a synthetic resin stretch preventing tape or a stretch preventing plate.

  According to such a configuration, a chair in which the folded portion of the skin material is reinforced can be provided.

(10) In any one of the above (7) to (9), the folded portions on the left and right side portions are provided on the left and right side portions of the substrate support frame so as to face the longitudinal direction and protrude to the surface side. A pressure is applied between the tip of the rib as the protrusion and the back surface of the substrate.

  According to such a configuration, it is possible to provide a chair in which the folded portions on both the left and right side portions are prevented from coming off the outside of the substrate or the surface portion of the skin material being slackened.

(11) In the above item (10), the folded portions of the left and right side portions are provided on the back side of the left and right side portions of the substrate on the inner side of the ribs of the substrate support frame so as to protrude to the back surface side. The tip of the ridge is clamped by the surface of the substrate support frame.

  According to such a configuration, the folded portions on the left and right side portions are sandwiched between the inner side and the outer side, so that the folded portions on the left and right side portions can be disengaged to the outer side of the substrate. Thus, it is possible to provide a chair that is reliably prevented from being slackened.

  According to the present invention, without subjecting the substrate to any processing or the use of special attachment means, the skin material covering the surface is prevented from being loosened and wrinkled, and laterally displaced. It is possible to provide a method of attaching a skin material to a base plate of a chair and a chair that can be attached tightly and easily while preventing the problem.

As shown in FIG. 2 and FIGS. 7 to 11, the substrate support frame 9 is formed with an inner edge of each vertical rod 13 and extended vertically from there to an upper connecting portion 14 and a lower connecting portion. Vertical ribs 32 forming ribs on the front surface of 15 are projected forward.
Inside the support means (described later) for supporting both side portions of the back support substrate 10, the back support substrate 10 is provided on the inner front edge of the left and right vertical rods 13, that is, on the inner front edge of each vertical rib 32. A deformation-permitting portion 33 for the back support substrate 10 that forms a gentle arcuate curved surface in which the distance from the rear surface of the back support substrate 10 gradually increases from the front end surface in contact with the rear surface toward the inside. It is provided continuously in the vertical direction.

By making the radius of curvature of the deformation allowing portion 33 gradually smaller from the upper portion toward the lower portion, the distance between the rear surface of the back support substrate 10 and the facing surface of the deformation allowing portion 33 is gradually increased upward. (See FIGS. 7 to 11).
Although illustration is omitted, the radius of curvature of the deformation allowing portion 33 is gradually increased from the upper portion toward the lower portion, and the separation dimension of the facing surface of the back surface of the back substrate 10 and the deformation allowing portion 33 is directed downward. May be gradually increased. In addition to the arcuate curved surface, the deformation-permitting portion 33 may have, for example, a parabolic surface whose radius of curvature gradually decreases toward the inside, or a partly flat inclined surface.

  In this way, the distance from the rear surface of the back support substrate 10 gradually increases from the front end surface in contact with the rear surface of the back support substrate 10 to the inner front edge of the vertical rib 32 in the left and right vertical rods 13. When the deformation allowance portion 33 is increased, when the back support substrate 10 is pressed rearward by the seated person's back, the left and right sides of the back support substrate 10 are elastically deformed rearward. The portion is also easily elastically deformed rearward along the deformation-permitting portion 33 with the front edge inside the vertical rod 13 as a fulcrum. Accordingly, a large difference in deformation amount between the center portion and both side portions of the back support substrate 10 is less likely to occur, and the entire back support substrate 10 is effectively elastically deformed rearward so that the seated person's back is comfortably supported. Become so.

  Further, since the deformation-permitting portion 33 has a gently curved shape, the backrest substrate 10 is easily elastically deformed rearward along the deformation-permissible portion 33 and is greatly bent on both sides of the backrest substrate 10. Since no stress is applied, the risk of wear of the rear surface in contact with the vertical rod 13 is reduced.

  Further, the radius of curvature of the deformation allowing portion 33 is gradually decreased from the upper portion toward the lower portion, and the separation dimension of the opposing surface of the back surface of the back substrate 10 and the deformation allowing portion 33 is gradually increased upward. Then, since both sides of the upper part of the back support substrate 10 to which a large back load is applied are elastically deformed rearward, the feeling when the backrest 6 is reclined and drowned is improved.

  On the contrary, the radius of curvature of the deformation allowing portion 33 is gradually increased from the upper portion toward the lower portion, and the separation dimension of the facing surface between the rear surface of the back support substrate 10 and the deformation allowing portion 33 is directed downward. When gradually becoming larger, when the seat is deeply seated in the back of the seat 5 and the backrest 6 is reclined in this state, the both sides of the lower portion of the backrest substrate 10 are moved backward. Since it is easily elastically deformed greatly, the vicinity of the waist is comfortably supported.

There is no fear that the tension is transmitted to the upper folded portion 11b and the lower folded portion 11c, and they are stretched simultaneously. Therefore, since the surface portion 11a of the skin material 11 is prevented from being squeezed over the entire circumference, it is possible to prevent the surface portion 11a from being loosened or wrinkled.
Further, when the back support substrate 10 is formed in a shape that is curved in a substantially arc shape so that the central portion in the left-right direction protrudes rearward in plan view as in the embodiment, the planar portion 11a of the skin material 11 is It does not occur that the seating comfort is worsened by being excessively separated from the front surface of the back support substrate 10.
Further, when the upper folded portion 11b and the lower folded portion 11c are prevented from extending in the left-right direction, the upper and lower ends of the planar portion 11a of the skin material 11 are rearward by the seated person's back during use of the chair. When pressed, the portions do not bend backwards excessively, and the back is comfortably supported.

Since the upper end portion of the rear cover 12 is in contact with or close to the rear surface of the upper rear portion of the upper folded portion 11b (see FIG. 5), it is not separated rearward from the rear surface of the back support board 10.
Further, since the front surface of the lower connecting portion 15 of the substrate support frame 9 is close to the rear surface of the stretch stop plate 71 attached to the lower folded portion 11c, the stretch stop plate 71 is rearward from the rear surface of the back support substrate 10. There is no separation.

As explained above, in the method for attaching the skin material and the chair of the above embodiment, the side folded portion 11d can be expanded and contracted in the vertical direction, so that the skin material 11 can be easily attached to the backrest substrate 10. And can be removed.
Further, the skin material 11 can be tightly stretched on the back support substrate 10 only by pressing the rear surface of the side folded portion 11d forward by the front surfaces of both side portions of the substrate support frame 9, and the side folded portion can be provided. The portion 11d is pinched by the tips of the vertical ribs 34 of the substrate support frame 9 and the protrusions 40 of the back support substrate 10, and is prevented from being displaced outward or detached from the back support substrate 10. Therefore, it is not necessary to apply any processing or the like for locking the skin material 11 to the back support substrate 10 and the skin material 11, or to use a tightening string or a special attachment means.
