A seat of a chair includes a frame, and a cushion member; the frame includes an upper loop-shaped part, and a lower part connected to the upper loop-shaped part; the lower part of the frame has such a shape as to have a space within it, which is under and in communication with a space within the upper loop-shaped part; the cushion member includes several elastic elements, a soft part, and a mesh-like part; the elastic elements is positioned across and connected to the upper loop-shaped part at two ends; the soft part is positioned over the upper loop-shaped part of the frame; the mesh-like part is positioned over the soft part and the upper loop-shaped part to hold the soft part in position; thus, the cushion member is allowed to sink into the space within the lower part of the frame.
Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to a seat of a chair, more particularly one, which includes a frame, and a cushion member capable of sinking into a space within the frame.
- 2. Brief Description of the Prior Art
- Referring to
FIGS. 1 and 2 , aconventional seat 10 of a chair such as a swivel office chair, and a bar stool includes asoft cushion part 101, and ahard board part 102. Thesoft cushion part 101 has certain softness and thickness so that it will sink when one person is seated thereon. And, thesoft cushion part 101 the same width and length as thehard board part 102. Thehard board part 102 is secured on a bottom of thesoft cushion part 101, and connected to aleg 20 of a chair. - The
soft cushion part 101 is used to provide comfortableness. However, thesoft cushion part 101 usually will sink to such a degree as to touch thehard board part 102 when people are seated on theseat 10. Consequently, the sitters' buttocks will touch thehard board part 102, and the sitters feel uncomfortable, and have improper body posture and poor blood circulation eventually. - It is a main object of the invention to provide an improvement on a seat of a chair to overcome the above disadvantages.
- The seat of the invention includes a frame, and a cushion member. The frame includes an upper loop-shaped part, and a lower part connected to the upper loop-shaped part. The lower part has such a shape as to have a space within it, which is under and in communication with a space within the upper loop-shaped part. The cushion member includes several elastic elements, a soft part, and a mesh-like part. The elastic elements is positioned across and connected to the upper loop-shaped part at two ends while the soft part is positioned over the upper loop-shaped part. The mesh-like part is positioned over the soft part and the upper loop-shaped part to hold the soft part in position; thus, the cushion member is allowed to sink into the space within the lower part of the frame when one heavy person is seated on the seat.
- The present invention will be better understood by referring to the accompanying drawings, wherein:
-
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the conventional swivel office chair as described in Background, -
FIG. 2 is a front view of the conventional bar stool, -
FIG. 3 is a fragmentary perspective view of the first embodiment of a seat in the present invention, -
FIG. 4 is a vertical sectional view of the first embodiment of a seat. -
FIG. 5 is a fragmentary perspective view of the second embodiment of a seat in the present invention, and -
FIG. 6 is a vertical sectional view of the fourth embodiment of a seat in the present invention. - Referring to
FIG. 3 , afirst embodiment 1 of a seat of a chair includes a frame 11, and acushion member 13. - The frame 11 includes an upper loop-
shaped part 111, and alower part 112. Thelower part 112 of the frame 11 is connected to the upper loop-shaped part 111, and aleg 20 of a chair such as a swivel office chair as shown inFIGS. 3 and 5 . Furthermore, thelower part 112 of the frame 11 has such a shape as to have aspace 113 within it, which is right under and in communication with a space within the upper loop-shaped part 111. - The
cushion member 13 includes severalelastic elements 131, asoft part 132, and a mesh-like part 133. Two ends of each of theelastic elements 131 are bent downwards, and theelastic elements 131 are positioned across and inserted into the upper loop-shaped part 111 of the frame 11 at the downwards bent ends. - The
soft part 132 is made of soft material such as sponge, and has a certain thickness. And, thesoft part 132 is positioned on the upper loop-shaped part 111 of the frame 11, and it has such dimensions that thesoft part 132 will encompass the upper loop-shaped part 111. - The mesh-
like part 133 has very good elasticity, and it is positioned over thesoft part 132 and the upper loop-shaped part 111 of the frame 11, and connected to the upper loop-shaped part 111 so as to hold thesoft part 132 in position. - Because of the
elastic elements 131, theseat 1 will provide more elasticity than thesoft part 132 will alone. And, because of the space within the upper loop-shaped part 111 and thespace 113 within thelower part 112 of the frame 11, thecushion member 13 is allowed to sink a relatively long distance into the space within thelower part 112 of the frame 11 when one heavy person is seated on thecushion member 13. Consequently, the seat is comfortable to sit on. - Referring to
FIG. 5 , thecushion member 13 of the seat of the invention has thesoft part 132 and the mesh-like part 133, but is doesn't have theelastic elements 131. Although thecushion member 13 doesn't have theelastic elements 131, it still has enough elasticity. Moreover, the mesh-like part 133 can be positioned over and connected to the upper loop-shaped part 111 of the frame 11 alone to make a comfortable seat. - Referring to
FIG. 6 , a fourth embodiment of a seat, which is suitable for use on a bar stool, includes a frame, a mesh-like part 133, and asoft part 14, which frame has substantially the same structure as the frame 11 of the seat of the first embodiment, including an upper loop-shaped part 111, and alower part 112 plus having a space within the upper loop-shaped part 111 and aspace 113 within thelower part 112, which is right under and in communication with the space within the upper loop-shaped part 111; thesoft part 132 is positioned on top of the upper loop-shaped part 111 of the frame while the mesh-like part 133 is positioned over the upper loop-shaped part 111. Thus, the seat has good elasticity, and is comfortable to sit on. - From the above description, it can be understood that the seats of the present invention have more elasticity, and are more comfortable to sit on than the conventional seat as described in Background.
