Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a single-seat (single-seat) or double-seat (2 to 4-seat) type sofa or sofa bed structure, and more particularly to a footrest housed in a sofa body. It is characterized in that it can be pulled out when necessary.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A general single-seat or double-seat sofa is
The first requirement is to satisfy the function that allows the user to sit back and relax, but when relaxing in the room, etc., a reclining mechanism or a footrest function, that is, a function to fully extend the legs is required. A sofa provided is required. However, the fact is that the development of a sofa having a footrest function as described above has hardly progressed in the past.

Of course, with respect to the footrest, the cushion is placed on the surface of a wooden box or the like, and another footrest whose surface is covered with a cloth for sofa is prepared. It is considered that daily use in a general household means that the person takes it out and uses it whenever necessary. In addition, in some cases, a flap-shaped auxiliary plate was attached to the front surface of the seat of the sofa body so that it could be rotated to a horizontal position by a ratchet etc., but the length of the flap (the amount of protrusion to the front) I couldn't extend my legs because I didn't have much), and at best I could only cross.

[0004]

Since the conventional sofa having only the function of merely sitting as described above cannot extend the legs, it is a pain for the user to keep the sitting position for a long time. It was also a hassle to take out a separate footrest from the storage place whenever necessary.

[0005]

In view of such a situation, the present invention has a footrest that can be stored in the front or side of the seat of the sofa and is attached so that it can be pulled out at any time. It is characterized by.

That is, in a single-seat or double-seat sofa consisting of a seat and elbows and backs on both sides, a footrest having a footrest surface on the front surface of the seat which is approximately the same height as or higher than the seat. A storage space for the platform is provided, and two or more straight rods project in parallel to the back surface of the footrest, while the straight rods are inserted and guided in the front surface of the seat 1d at the back of the storage space. The guide hole is provided to support the footrest so that it can be pulled out freely. If necessary, a means for attaching casters or the like to the four corners of the lower surface of the footrest is also used.

In addition, in a single-seat type or double-seat type sofa consisting of a seat portion and elbows on both sides and a back portion, a left or right elbow-equipped sofa at the front side of the seat portion is at the same height or slightly higher than the seat portion A storage space for a footrest having a surface is provided, and a bearing portion is provided on the lower side of the other side of the footrest storage portion with an elbow, while one end of the footrest having a shape that can be stored in the storage portion is engaged. The base of the worn rotating rod is supported by the bearing, and the foot rest is configured to be rotatable between the storage and the front of the sofa.
Further, in this case, a means is adopted in which the engaging portion between the footrest and the rotary rod is rotatable by a certain amount.

[0008]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Hereinafter, the structure of a sofa with a footrest according to the present invention will be described in more detail based on the embodiments of FIGS. 1 and 2 shown in the drawings. Regarding a double-seat sofa provided with a stand, 1 is a sofa body composed of a seat portion 1a for three persons, and an elbow 1b and a back portion 1c on both sides thereof, and a frame (W The surface fabric is attached to the surface of () via a cushioning material such as a foamed resin or a spring, which has the same structure as the conventional sofa of this kind.

Reference numeral 2 denotes a footrest, which has a footrest surface at the same height as or higher than the seat portion between the elbows 1b on the front surface of the seat portion 1a of the sofa body. Two straight rods 2b are provided in parallel on the right and left sides of the back surface 2a of the footrest 2. Further, 3 is the front surface of the seat 1d of the sofa body 1, that is, the storage portion (A) of the footrest 2.
Two guide holes are provided on the inner surface of the guide rod so that the entire lengths of the two rods 2b can be inserted and supported.

Thus, it is mechanically advantageous to fix the two pipes in the guide hole 3 by utilizing the lower frame (w) before and after forming the seat 1d of the sofa body. If necessary, a caster 2c or the like may be attached to a corner of the lower surface of the footrest 2 to make it easier to take in and out.

Next, as another embodiment of the present invention, FIG.
An example in which a rotary footrest is applied to a single-seat sofa body 4 as shown in 4 will be described. The sofa body 4 has a seat portion 4a, an elbow-equipped 4b, as in the double-seat sofa described above. The back plate 4c consists of a seat 4a and a back plate 4c for a single seat, that is, for one person, and a foot rest 5 is provided on the lower part of the front face of one of the elbows 4b. As a center, it can turn forward. That is, the seat portion 4 is located below the side surface of one of the left and right elbows 4b.
A storage part (A) of the footrest 5 having a footrest surface 5c that is the same as or slightly higher than the height a, and a bearing part that is a hinge or a bearing tube on the lower part of the front side of the elbow 4b on the other side While mounting 6, the base of the rotary rod 5a that engages with one end of the footrest 5 is supported by the bearing 6, and the footrest 5 connects the storage (A) and the front of the sofa body 4 to each other. It is configured so that it can turn and move between.

Further, in the above case, the engaging portion 5b between the footrest base 5 and the rotary rod 5a can be rotated by a predetermined amount, so that the footrest base 5 can be stored in the storage portion (A) during storage. At the same time as facilitating storage, the footrest 5 can always be made to face the protruding direction of the leg irrespective of the amount of rotation of the rotary rod 5a. In addition, when the bearing portion 6 is attached, if the ratchet or the like is used to rotate a fixed amount in forward and reverse steps, the height of the footrest surface can be freely set according to the user's preference. is there. Further, the back portions 1c, 4c of the sofa of the present invention having the above-described structure can be reclined by a known means used for a normal chair or the like, or elbows 1b, 4b on both sides.
It is also possible to divide it into one to several stages so that it can be undulated to a horizontal position.

The sofa with a footrest according to the present invention, which has been described with respect to the two embodiments, is individually equipped for one person or two persons, regardless of whether it is the drawer type or the rotary type. However, when applying a rotary footrest mechanism to a sofa with three or more seats, it is limited to the seats on the sides 1b and 4b with elbows on both sides, and the middle seat is pulled out. The expression will be used.

[0014]

As is apparent from the above detailed description, the sofa with a footrest according to the present invention can be used not only as a normal sofa but also as a footrest that is always stored in the storage section. , You can set the foot stand immediately by pulling it out by hand or turning it so that it is in front of the sofa body, as you have seen in the past,
The annoyance of setting a footrest is completely eliminated, and the height of the footrest can be adjusted at any time, so there is no pain or fatigue during long-time use such as reading.

Furthermore, since the design structure such as the width and depth of the upper surface of the seat (seat surface) can be freely selected, the existence of the footrest and the appropriate size of the seat surface interact with each other. In addition to the remarkable advantage of being able to spend a comfortable relaxing time such as a nap, the sofa with a footrest according to the present invention has the same appearance as a normal sofa when the footrest is stored in the sofa. Therefore, it has a wide range of useful effects, such as widespread use as high-end furniture.
