Definitions

  • An object of the invention is to provide a chair which whilst not having the unyielding quality of a rigid seat and back support has not the undesirable flexibility of a deck chair.
  • a chair according to the present invention includes a frame provided with suitable legs in which is suspended a support of sheet metal or other semi-stiff material for example moulded plywood, synthetic sheet material or the like, the support being suspended to the frame at the top and bottom only.
  • a support of sheet metal or other semi-stiff material for example moulded plywood, synthetic sheet material or the like, the support being suspended to the frame at the top and bottom only.
  • the chair according to the present invention is constructed so that it may be stacked, the feature being that there is a clear space on either side of the body support between this support and the frame enabling easy stacking.
  • Figure 1 shows in perspective a chair in accordance with the present invention
  • Figure 2 shows on a large scale a detail of one method of supporting the seat portion on the frame
  • Figure 3 shows a section on the line III-III of Figure 2
  • Figure 4 shows a detail of the connection between the frame members of the chair
  • Figure .5 is a cross section on the line VV of Figure 4,
  • Figure 6 shows a detail of an alternative method of suspending the seat portion
  • Figure '7 is a section on the line VII--V1I of Figure 6, and
  • Figure 8 shows how the chair shown in Figure 1 can be stacked vertically.
  • Figure 1 shows a chair in which the frame is formed from metal tube, for example steel tubing.
  • the frame is constructed from two lengths of tubing one length being formed into a U to form combined front legs and back frame I.
  • the other length of tubing 2 is also formed into a U to form the back legs 3 and the seat frame 4.
  • the portion forming the seat frame 4 preferably is bent above the point at which the two members cross.
  • the member 2 is formed into a narrower U than the portion I so that it passes between the legs of the member I, the two being joined as shown in Figures 4 and 5 by a junction piece 5 which may be welded to each leg.
  • the angle at which the two members are joined is such that the chair legs 3 and 6 incline at the same angle to the floor.
  • Ferrules I are provided at the bottom of each leg these ferrules conveniently being of rubber or other elastic material so as to deaden the noise made by movement of the chair.
  • the chair frame is provided with arms or lugs 8 which may be welded in position on the frame and formed from semi-circular pressings the ends of which are conveniently formed with flats 9 which are apertured to receive a nut and bolt [0.
  • the sides of the member 8 are conveniently flattened at ll so that the nut is prevented from turning when the bolt is turned.
  • a seat portion l2 Onto the arms or lugs 8 is suspended a seat portion l2 which is pressed from sheet steel or other suitable material into a proper shape and is apertured so that it may be attached to the arms or lugs 8 by the nuts and bolts II].
  • a rubber or other composition washer l3 In between the seat portion l2 and the arms 8 there is interposed a rubber or other composition washer l3 which insulates the seat from the frame.
  • a rubber or other composition washer l3 To finish the seat portion 12 and to improve the peripheral strength when the seat is formed from sheet metal the edge is turned back to form a hem [4.
  • This chair can be stacked very easily and by forming the frame so that the frame members where they cross are inclined at the same angle to the fioor upon which the chair rests the stacking is truly vertical; this is clearly shown in Figure 8 which shows two chairs stacked together. It will be seen that provided this is so the legs may be curved or otherwise shaped outwardly away from the enclosed angle between them and the seat and back frames may similarly be curved or bent outwardly from the enclosed angle between them where they cross and the chairs may still be stacked vertically.
  • Figures 6 and '7 show an alternative method of fixing th chair portion I2 to the frame in which it is hooked to the arms or lugs 8, a keyhole aperture being formed in the arcuate seat member I2 which engages with a round-headed pin I5 riveted or welded to the ends of the arms or lugs 8.
  • a chair of the stacking type comprising a pair of inverted U-shaped members forming the frame and legs of said chair, one of saidimembers having its legs at a wider spacing-thanuthei other of said members and positioned outwardly of the respective legs of said other member--and l extending in crossing relation thereto, said legs at each side of said chairt-beingirigidly joined at'their:v poi-ntsof crossing by; connecting members the exteriorl. dimensions of v which are wholly: confined. within the.
