  • a methods of producing an upholstered item of furniture that utilizes a flexible plate which is substantially flat in the non-flexed state and which is flexed to and held in a desired curvature in the completed item of furniture.
  • the plate is upholstered in the substantially flat, non-flexed state. Thereafter the upholstered plate is flexed to a desired curvature and secured in its flexed state.
  • This invention relates to upholstered items of fumiture.
  • the invention involves the use of a tufting button which has both a decorative effect and which serves to hold padding to a frame.
  • a tufting button which provides not only the usual decorative tufting effect but which also serves to hold padding onto a frame.
  • such tufting buttons serve as the sole means of attachment of the padding to the frame.
  • an upholstery method may be employed with the invention which utilizes a flexible plate which is substantially flat in the non-flexed state and which is flexed to and held in a desired curvature in the completed item of furniture.
  • the substantially flat, non-flexed plate is upholstered, which is easily accomplished because of the flatness of the plate.
  • the plate is then flexed to the desired curvature and secured in the flexed state.
  • the tufting buttons just referred to may serve to secure the upholstered plate in the flexed state to a frame, creating a tufting in the upholstery.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 are perspective views of a chair embodying the invention.
  • FIG. 3 is a sectional view, to an enlarged scale, of the chair shown in FIG. 1, taken along the section 3-3 in FIG. 1.
  • I FIG. 4 is a sectional view similar to that of FIG. 3 showing the details of the forming of a cushion assembly.
  • FIGS. 5 to 7 illustrate an uphblstery niethod useful in the practice of the invention.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 a chair is shown embodying the invention.
  • the chair includes a back rest portion 12 and seat portion 14.
  • the back rest and seat portions are secured to a frame 16 as will be described in more detail below.
  • the frame 16 includes a back rest 3,285,660, R. Beckman, et al., Nov. 15, 1966;
  • the back rest 12 and seat 14 are secured to the frame 16 by means of tufting buttons 20 which provide both a decorative tufting effect and a fastening effect.
  • the seat '14 comprises a padding 22 which is covered by an upholstery material 24. Positioned within the padding is a stiffening element 26.
  • the padding 22 includes holes 22a therethrough; likewise the upholstery material 24 includes holes 24a and 24b theret-hrough as does the stiffening element 26 (holes 26a therethrough).
  • a tufting button 20 that is used includes a head portion 20a that is exposed to view and which provides the decorative effect.
  • the tufting button also includes a shank portion 20b which is internally threaded so that a screw 28 may be threaded therein to hold the seat 14 in place.
  • the shank portion 20b of the tufting button is also grooved on the outside thereof, as at 20c, in order to receive a washer 30.
  • the seat 14 may be considered to be a cushion assembly which includes the padding 22, the stiffening element 26 and the upholstery material 24.
  • the tufting buttons are positioned so that the shank portions 20b pass through the holes 22a, 24a and 24b, and 26a respectively in the padding, upholstery material and stiffening element.
  • the washers 30 are pressed onto the ridged ends 20c of the shank portions of the tufting buttons. This provides a cushion assembly which may be independently stored or used immediately.
  • the cushion assembly is fastened to the frame 16 as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4.
  • the screws 28 pass through the frame section 1611 and are threaded into the internally threaded shank portions of the tufting buttons 20. Tightening of the screws 28 produces the finished chair assembly shown in FIG. 3.
  • the back rest 12 of the chair is held to the frame sec- 7 tion 16a by thesame technique utilizing tufting buttons 20 and screws 28.
  • FIGS. 5 to 7 an upholstery technique is shown utilizing a flexible plate 40 which is substantially flat in the non-flexed state thereof as shown in FIG. 6.
  • the flexible plate 40 is similar to the stiffening element 26 shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 described above.
  • the plate 40 may be flexed to a desired configuration or curvature in the completed item of furniture, as shown in FIG. 7. However, in the non-flexed state thereof, it is substantially flat as just described. In the non-flexed state thereof, the plate 40 is upholstered.
  • the upholstery may take the form of a resilient foam material 42 and a covering fabric 44.
  • the upholstering of the substantially flat, non-flexed plate 40 is relatively simple, inasmuch as no difficult curves are present. Any sewing that need be done is essentially two-dimensional.
  • the plate may be flexed and secured to a frame 46.
  • tufting buttons 20, screws 28 and washers 30 as described above in connection with the chair of FIGS. 1 to 4 maybe utilized in securing the upholstered plate to the frame 46.

  • a chair or other items of furniture could be produced.
  • portions of the flexible plate might be bent adjacent other portions thereof and secured to each other by fasteners, such as the tufting buttons 20.
  • a multiplicity of various shapes can be produced.
  • One unit may be attached to another unit, for example, to gang together chairs.
  • the item may be adjustable, for example, a seat back angle adjustment is possible with one upholstered flexible plate, or a lounge chair might be convertible to a bed.
  • a substantially flat plate is utilized in the non-flexed state to facilitate the upholstering thereof, which is thereafter shaped to a desired curvature and secured in place. If upholstery repair or reupholstering or cleaning must be completed, the upholstered flexible plate is simply removed from the supporting framework; it returns to the substantially flat,
  • An upholstered item of furniture comprising a frame, a padding, one or more tufting buttons each having an internally threaded shank portion, and one or more screws threaded into the internally threaded shank portions of the tufting buttons securing the padding to the frame.
