Definitions

  • the frame of a piece of furniture consists of at least two interconnected components, each of which comprises an approximately U-shaped yoke extending in a plane and two extensions protruding from the yoke substantially at right angles to that plane.
  • This invention relates to a piece of furniture which comprises a frame composed of interconnected com ponents consisting of tubes, rods, or the like.
  • Such pieces of furniture have the advantage that they can be made in a relatively simple manner and are nevertheless very stable.
  • this object is accomplished in that at least two components comprise each an approximately U-shaped yoke provided with extensions integrally adjoining the free ends of the legs of the yoke substantially at right angles to its plane. As will be shown hereinafter, such components can actually be used to assemble greatly different pieces of furniture.
  • the large number of variations realizable with my improved construction of pieces of furniture can be further increased if, according to a further feature of the invention, the U-shaped yoke of one of two components is higher than the U-shaped yoke of the other component.
  • the number of variations can be increased still further if one of two components, preferably the higher one, has two extensions which are shorter than those of the other component and the difference in length between the two extensions of one component is equal to the difference in length between the two extensions of the other component.
  • the invention can be applied in a very simple manner to the formation of a seat frame in which two components with vertical yokes of different height are joined so that their extensions abut and in which the taller yoke forms the backrest frame.
  • the transverse component or components may also comprise tall yokes constituting armrest frames.
  • a seat frame embodying my invention may alternatively comprise two components joined so that their extensions abut, and a covering extending between the crosspieces or bight portions of their Ushaped yokes.
  • a component having a tall yoke may be provided which extends transversely to the two components which carry the covering.
  • a table frame may be formed which comprises four identical components interconnected in pairs wit orthogonally abutting extenions.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 are perspective views showing respective components of a frame structure according to my invention
  • FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing diagrammatically a seat frame made from the components of FIGS. 1 and 2,
  • FIG. 4 is an elevation showing a seat incorporating the frame of FIG. 3 and upholstery placed thereon;
  • FIGS. 5 and 6 are diagrammatic representations of other seat frames embodying my invention and FIG. 7 shows a table frame according to my invention.
  • FIG. 1 shows a component 1 which is integrally bent from round-section stock to form a U-shaped yoke which extends in a vertical plane and comprises two upright legs 3 and a crosspiece 4 at the bight of the U.
  • Parallel horizontal extensions 5 and 6 protrude from the free lower ends of legs 3 substantially at right angles to the plane of the yoke.
  • the component 2 shown in FIG. 2 has also an upright U-shaped yoke, lower than the yoke of component 1, comprising two legs 7 and a crosspiece 8.
  • Two extensions 9 and 10 protrude from the free lower ends of legs 7 at right angles to its plane extensions 9 and 10 are respectively shorter than extensions 5 and 6. The same difference exists between the lengths l and 1 of extensions 9 and 10 and between the lengths l and 1 of extensions 9 and 10.
  • Height h of component 1 47 centimeters height h of component 2 15 centimeters
  • length 1 is 67 centimeters
  • length 1 54.5 centimeters length 1 10.5 centimeters
  • spacing of legs and of their exten sions 50 centimeters spacing of legs and of their exten sions 50 centimeters.
  • a seat frame can be formed in a very simple manner by assembling a component l and a component 2. For this purpose it is sufficient to join the two components so that their extensions abut longitudinally.
  • the joints may be formed, e.g., by sleeves fitted over the extensions, by connectors inserted into same, or in any other known manner which is suitable.
  • two additional components 1 may be provided which extend transversely to the two interconnected components 1 and 2.
  • the joint between the crossing extensions thereof can also be made in a very simple manner, e.g., with threaded bolts extending through the crossing extensions, although different types of joints may be used for this purpose too.
  • the frame which is diagrammatically shown in FIG. 3 can be used to carry a seat cushion 11, a backrest cushion 12 and two armrest cushions 13.
  • the seat and rest surfaces could be formed by a covering extending between the crosspieces 4 and 8 as in the embodiments which will now be described with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6.
  • two components 2 are assembled so that their extensions abut longitudinally and a component 1 extending transversely to these components 2 forms a backrest frame.
  • the seating surface may be formed by a covering 14, draped over the bight portions of components 2, on which a cushion can be placed.
  • the leg extensions of component l differ in length by a distance equal to the spacing of the extensions of the two other components 2 and thus terminate at mutually offset junctions with the longitudinally interconnected extensions of the lat ter components, all these extensions lying in a common horizontal plane.
  • one of the shallow components 2 of FIG. 5 is replaced by a tall component 1 so that an armrest is provided on one side.
  • a multiple seat may be formed, e.g., by a central frame U, 62 7, 751 mung frames ofFlG. 6 at -mponent 1 being disposed be and on the left in the .u. 3 can obviously also b nation.
