Definitions

  • This invention relates to chairs and stools made of metal rods or tubes, for example, steel tubes bent in the form of loops and consists essentially in that the base frame consists of a single preferl ably closed loop having two parallel sides and two parallel ends or struts arranged transversely of .the sides, the parallel sides being bent in the shape of a U W or L to form a resilient supporting frame for the seat frame.
  • the seat frame which if desired may also be sprung. 4
  • the sides of the base frame may bebent in the form of a U or W open at the front.
  • parallel sides include floor enga ing portions and upper horizontal supporting portions connected by intermediate portions.
  • the upper horizontal portions are yieldingly supported by the intermediate portions.
  • the upper horizontal portions provide arm rests with relation to the seat frame while the upper transverse ends or struts act to brace the back of the seat frame.
  • the transverse ends or struts are bent downwards and below the seat, that is, at the front. they are bent backwards and. at the back forwards.
  • the transverse ends or struts wlll'not interfere with the comfort of the user of the seat, that is, they are'prevented from coming into contact withthe downwardly de-' pressed elastic seat and with the legs of the user.
  • the side parts of the seat frame may be bentsubstantially in the form of a semi-circle.
  • The-rear end of the upper limb or horizontal portion of the base frame which carries the transverse struts or ends may be curved downwards and forwards. This transverse strengthening then forms at the same time transverse strengthening of the seat frame secured to the base frame.
