It is an object of the present invention to provide a way of making furniture of the described art by means of which any desired type of furniture of high strength, low weight and simple construction can be made.

FIG. 54 illustrates in top view the tables of FIGS. 52 and 53.
FIG. 55 represents a supporting frame unit for the tables according to FIGS. 51-54 in an isometric view.
FIG. 56 is an isometric view of a closet-like piece of furniture.
FIG. 57 shows the furniture piece of FIG. 56 as seen from the right-hand side with regard to the drawing.
FIG. 58 is a top view of the furniture piece shown in FIG. 57.
The furniture piece according to the present invention, which comprises a supporting frame made of bent rod-like material, is characterized primarily in that the supporting frame is composed of a plurality of identical closed frame parts of bent wire which are arranged in spaced relationship to each other and adjacent to each other, while said frame parts are interconnected by transverse frame means, the frame parts extending approximately over the entire height of the supporting frame. This type of construction permits the manufacture of nearly all desired furniture pieces especially stools, chairs, soft chairs, lawn chairs, tables, chests and the like.
A particularly simple construction is obtained when the frame parts, especially all frame parts, are of identical design so that by electing the number of these frame parts and the spacing therebetween it will be possible practically to produce furniture pieces of any desired size. For purposes of further simplifying the construction, the frame parts are provided in one plane so that a high supporting capability is obtained when the frame parts are arranged in a vertical plane. The frame parts may, however, also be curved in bottom view about a common axis.
A particularly simple construction of the furniture piece is obtained when frame parts, especially all frame parts, are arranged in parallel planes. For imparting special shapes upon the furniture pieces and for specifically increasing the supporting ability thereof, it may also be expedient to arrange frame parts, especially all frame parts, at a preferably acute angle with regard to each other. In this connection, it is particularly advantageous to arrange the frame parts exclusively in bottomview at an angle with regard to each other and to so arrange the frame parts that the latter will extend at an angle toward each other to the front side or rear side of the furniture piece. In order in this connection to obtain a uniform construction, the planes of the frame parts arranged at an angle to each other intersect in a common preferably vertical straight line.
Furthermore, the frame parts, especially all frame parts, may be offset parallely with regard to their planes while preferably at two oppositely located sides of the furniture piece they are arranged in coaxial mantle surfaces so that also for instance a concave front side and a convex rear side of the furniture piece are obtained and the furniture piece will have a further improved stability.
For obtaining a favorable furniture shape, especially with a furniture piece representing a sitting facility, it is advantageous to provide the frame parts in the direction of the width of the furniture piece adjacent to each other. However, in particular with a cupboard-like furniture piece for instance with a closet-like furniture piece, the frame parts may be arranged adjacent to each other in the direction of the depth of the furniture piece. Furthermore, it may be advantageous, especially with a furniture piece which in plan view is approximately centrally symmetrical for instance with the round furniture piece as for instance a table, to arrange the furniture parts around a central axis of the furniture piece. In order to be able to transport and place in particular larger furniture pieces with greater ease, the supporting frame may be made of a plurality of separate, especially identical supporting frame units which are respectively formed by a plurality of frame parts and the transverse frame means interconnecting same.
The furniture design according to the present invention makes it possible that the lowermost, in particular rectilinear frame bars of the frame parts form the standing surface of the furniture piece so that a separate furniture piece will no longer be necessary.
With a supporting frame for a soft chair, a particularly simple construction is obtained when the frame parts form the seat as well as the back. For purposes of increasing the strength, the frame bars of the frame parts which form the seat are at the merging area with the back connected to the vertical frame bar of the pertaining frame part, which frame bars engage the rear side of the furniture piece. In order to be able in a simple manner to provide an upholstered part, the frame bars of the frame parts which form the seat form in the merging part with the back a corner for engagement with a seat and/or back cushion.
If the furniture piece, as is the case for instance with a table, having plate-shaped cover part, separate wire rods may form this cover part which rests upon the supporting frame.
With a closet-like furniture piece or a chest-like furniture peice, it is furthermore provided in conformity with the invention that the laterally upwardly extending frame bars of the frame parts form approximately horizontal, especially loop-shaped suspension elements on which clothing may be suspended. Similarly, with a furniture piece of this type, the upper frame bars of the frame parts may form approximately horizontally extending preferably undulated suspension elements for instance for suspending hangers.
A further simplification in the construction of the furniture piece may be obtained when the transverse frame means are formed by especially welded-on wires. In order to avoid sharp wire ends, the transverse wires are arranged so that they are arranged in pairs adjacent to each other and are preferably formed by a single piece loop. In order to make sure that the transverse frame means will not interfere in any way, they engage the inner side of the frame parts. The transverse frame means may in a simple manner adjacent to the outer frame parts form struts which extend approximately parallel to the adjacent frame bars of the frame parts and thus form for instance an outer closure for the respective furniture piece.
Referring now to the drawings in detail, it will be seen from FIGS. 1 to 3 that a furniture piece 1 representing a stool comprises a plurality of identical closed frame members 2 which are arranged in vertical planes and are located adjacent to each other in the direction of the width of the stool 1. The frame members 2 are interconnected by four transverse frame elements 5.
Each approximately quadrangular frame member 2 is formed by four frame bars 7-10 which are located at an angle with regard to each other and which merge with each other by rounded corners l2 and are formed by a single wire bar which at their ends are welded together for instance by butt welding. The upper rectilinear horizontal frame bars 7 of all frame members 2 form the seat for the stool whereas the lower frame bars 9 parallel thereto of all frame members 2 form the standing surface of stool 1. The rear rectilinear frame bars 10 of the frame members 2 are vertical, whereas the front rectilinear frame bars 8 are slightly forwardly inclined.
The frame members 2, which are arranged in planes parallel to each other, are in plan view offset relative to each other parallel to their planes, according to FIG. 3, in such a way that they form a concave inwardly directed front side 13 and a convex outwardly extending back side 14 of stool 1. This shaping is for the sake of clarity not shown in FIG. 1. The front frame bars 8 as well as the rear frame bars 10 of the frame members 2 are located in separate cylindrical mantle surfaces the vertical axes of which are by the extension of depth of the stool I offset relative to each other and located in the central plane of stool 1.
The upper frame bars 7 as well as the lower frame bars 9 of all frame members 2 are respectively connected to each other by two transverse frame elements 5. These frame elements 5 are located in the front and rear range of the stool 1 and in plan view according to FIG. 3 extend along a curve in conformity with the front side 13 and back side 14. The transverse frame elements 5 are connected to the inner side of the pertaining frame bars 7, 8 for instance by welding. Each transverse frame element 5 is formed by two parallel wire bars 15 which extend parallel to and in spaced relationship to each other and which are formed by one single wire piece the ends of which are inter-connected for instance by butt welding. At their ends, the wire bars 15 merge with each other through semi-circular sections 16 which laterally slightly protrude beyond the outermost frame members 2 as is clearly shown in FIG.
The frame members 2 may be located so close to each other that a person can comfortably sit directly upon the upper frame bars 7. However, it is also possible to place a flat cushion or upholstered part 17 upon the upper frame bars 7 as indicated in FIG. 4. Furthermore, the upper range of the frame members 2 may in conformity with FIG. 5 be covered by a cushion 18 which in side view has a U-shaped contour.
The embodiment of FIGS. 6 to 10 is provided with the same reference numerals as in FIGS. 1 to 5 but with the additional letter a. More specifically, according to the embodiment of FIGS. 6 to 10, the frame members 2a are substantially of the same design as the frame members 2 shown in FIGS. l5. The frame members 2a arranged in vertical planes are, however, in plan view according to FIG. 8 arranged at an angle with regard to each other in such a way that their planes intersect approximately along that axis of the cylinder mantle surface in which the frame bars 8a are located at the concave front side 13a of stool 1a. The mantle surfaces in which the frame bars 10a of the concave back side 14 are located likewise has this axis. As a result thereof, the two vertically superimposed transverse frame members 5a which are closer to the back side 14a, are longer than the two vertically superimposed transverse frame elements 6a located in the front range of the stool 1a.
Referring now to FIGS. 11-15, the respective parts corresponding to those of FIGS. 1 to 5 have likewise been designated with the same reference numerals as in FIGS. 1 to 5 but with the additional letter 1). The furniture piece illustrated in FIGS. 11-15 is a soft chair of which identical plane frame members 2b form the seat as well as the back and with regard to the plan view according to FIG. 13 are arranged in the manner discussed in connection with the embodiment of FIGS. l to 5. That area of the frame members 2b which is located below the back of the chair is designed similar to the frame members according to FIGS. 1 to 5. However, the upper rearwardly inclined frame bars 7b are curved upwardly and merge with upwardly extending frame bars 11b which form the back and in the upper range merge with the vertical rear frame bars 10b which extend over the entire height of the chair. In view of this arrangement of the frame members 2b, the back is curved concavely in conformity with the front side 13b of the chair. In addition to the four transverse frame elements 5b within the range of the frame bars 7b, 9b, there is additionally provided a transverse frame element 6b located within the region of the back. This transverse frame element 6b is arranged in the uppermost region of the vertical frame bars 10b. The approximately semicircular merging sections between the frame bars 7b and 11b of the frame members 2b are respectively tangent to the pertaining frame bar 10b and are connected thereto at 19b, for instance by welding so that a favorable resilient zone for a slight springieness of the back is obtained. In view of the last mentioned merging sections, between the seat and the back there is formed an inwardly extending rounded corner b which may be engaged by cushions 17b, 18b in conformity with FIGS. 14 and 15. The cushion 17b according to FIG. 14 merely covers the seat, whereas the cushion 18b additionally covers the front side of the seat as well as the back.
Referring now to FIGS. 16-20, those elements thereof which correspond to the elements of FIGS. 1-5 are designated with the same reference numerals as in FIGS. 1-5 but with the additional letter The difference between the chair according to FIGS. 16-20 and the chair according to FIGS. 11-14 is fundamentally the same as between the stool of FIGS. 6-10 tne the stool of FIGS. 1-5. With the chair 1c according to FIGS. 16-20, the frame members 2c are in plan view according to FIG. 18 arranged at an angle to each other in such a way that their planes in front of the front side 13c of the chair intersect along a common vertical straight line which simultaneously represents the axis of curvature for the front side 13c and the back side 14c of the chair. The frame members 20 are practically designed in the same manner as the frame members 2b according to FIGS. 11-15.
The chair 1d according to FIGS. 21-25 has the same elements as they occur in FIGS. 1-5 designated with the same reference numerals as in FIGS. 1-5 but with the additional letter 0!. The chair 1d of FIGS. 21-25 differs from the embodiment of FIGS. 16-20 primarily in that the spacing of the front side 13d and rear side 14d of the chair from the common axis of curvature is greater than with the embodiment of FIGS. 16-20 so that the distance of the front frame bars 8d from each other is greater. With the embodiment according to FIGS. 16-20, the front frame bars 8c may at least within their upper region be connected to each other for instance by spot welding.
The stool according to FIGS. 26-30 in which the parts corresponding to those of FIGS. 1-5 have been designated with the same reference numerals as in FIGS. 1-5 with the additional letter e, differs from the stool 1 of FIGS. l-5 primarily by a greater width and a greater depth. A further difference consists in that also the front frame bars 82 of the frame members 2e are arranged vertically. The same also applies to the stool 1 f of FIGS. 31-35, the frame members 2f of which are in the described manner in plan view according to FIG. 33 arranged at an angle with regard to each other.
FIGS. 36-38 illustrate a soft chair which differs from the chair according to FIGS. 11-15 primarily by a lower height and a greater width as well as by a greater depth of the seat. Those elements of this chair which correspond to the elements of FIGS. 11-15 are designated with the same reference numerals as in FIGS. 11-15 but instead of the letter b they are provided with the letter g."
The soft chair according to FIGS. 39-42 differs from the chair of FIGS. 36-38 primarily in that its frame members 2h in plan view according to FIG. 41 are arranged at an angle relative to each other in such a way that their planes intersect ahead of the front side 13h of the chair along a common vertical straight line. The frame parts 2h may for all practical purposes be identical to the frame members 2g.
As illustrated in FIGS. 43-46, the frame members 21' of the chair 1i may in plan view according to FIG. 45 also be arranged at an angle to each other in such a way that their planes intersect behind the back Me of the chair 1e along a common vertical straight line so that the seat is widened toward the front in the manner of a fan, and furthermore a relatively small back is obtained. According to the embodiments of FIGS. 36-46, the front frame bars 8b; 811; 8i are arranged vertically, in other words, similar to those in the stools of FIGS. 26-35. In this way, especially stools according to FIGS. 26-30 are suitable for combination with chairs according to FIGS. 36-38, and stools according to FIGS. 31-35 are suitable for combination with chairs according to FIGS. 39-46.
FIGS. 47-49 illustrate a lounge chair according to which those frame bars 11k which form the back support are slightly concavely curved .and are arranged relative to the frame bars 7k forming the support for the seat, at a relatively obtuse angle. The frame bars 7k merge with the frame bars 11k through a U-shaped or loop-shaped section which is tangent to the lower horizontal frame bar 9k of the pertaining frame member 2k and is connected to the latter at 19k. The merging sections between the frame bars 7k and the frame bars 11k form an upwardly extending zone 20k for engagement by a seat cushion 17k while furthermore a separate back support cushion 18k may be provided. The frame members 2k are in plan view according to FIG. 49 arranged in such a way that the front vertical frame bars 8k are within the region of the front side 13k located in a concavely curved mantle surface.
The lounge chair 1k may have associated therewith a foot-supporting furniture piece 1m which may be designed substantially as the stool according to FIGS. 26-30. The width of the stool may, however, have the same width as the lounge chair and the front and rear sides 13m, 14m may have the same curvature as the front side 13k of lounge chair 1k so that the foot support 1m may be placed directly adjacent to the front side of the lounge chair 1k. The foot support 1m may also according to FIG. 50 be placed alongside the lounge chair 1k and may serve as a seat or as a side table or the like.
FIGS. 52 and 53 respectively illustrate two tables which differ from each other merely as to height but have the same plan view shown in FIG. 54. The table In is formed primarily by six identical segmental supporting frame units 2ln which in top view according to FIG. 54 may be composed to form a circular ring. Each supporting frame unit 2ln has a plurality of vertical frame sections 2n which in plan view according to FIG. 54 are curved about the central axis of the table and which at both sides at the top and at the bottom are connected to each other by wire bars l5n of transverse frame elements 5n which are located approximately radially with regard to the table axis. The wire bars 15n are at one side of the supporting frame unit 2111 engaging the outer sides of the pertaining vertical frame bars 8n and on the other side of the supporting frame unit 2ln engage the inner side of the pertaining vertical frame bars 10n so that between the vertical frame bars 8n, 1011 of each two adjacent supporting frame units, there are located only the transverse wire frame members l5n of a single supporting frame unit. In this way, a relative close placement and safe engagement of adjacent supporting frame units will be assured. The supporting frame units 21n may be connected to each other by suitable means for instance by brackets.
The wire bars 1511 of the transverse frame members 5n which establish the connection between the frame members 2n merge twice-angled off with struts 22n which extend parallel to the adjacent horizontal frame bars 7n, 9n of the frame members 2n and are located at the same level so that radially inwardly and radially outwardly they form the outermost horizontal frame bars 22n.
On the described supporting frame for the table In, there may be provided a type of table plate which likewise consists of annular segments 2311 of the same piece as the supporting frame units 21n. Each segment 23n is formed by wire bars 2p which in a fan-like manner extend radially with regard to the table axis at the same height and are located adjacent to each other. These bars 2p are connected to each other at their bottom side radially inwardly and radially outwardly by corresponding transverse frame elements p and 6;) respectively. The two transverse frame elements 5p, 6p are located radially inwardly and radially outwardly of the supporting frame units 2ln.
FIGS. 56 to 58 represent a type of open or closed wardrobe which has three different types of frame members 2: 3g and 4q. The frame members 2q-4q are arranged in parallel planes but are parallel to their planes in plan view according to FIG. 58, offset with regard to each other in conformity with the embodiment of FIGS. l-5, in such a way that a side wall 13:; of the wardrobe lq is concavely curved whereas the other side wall l4q is curved convexly. The vertical frame bars 8q of all frame members 2q, 3q. 4q, which are located on the concavely curved side 13c are rectilinear and of the same design and are designed in the same manner as the vertical frame bars q of all frame parts which are located on the convex side 141;. The frame bars 10q are, however, below the middle of the height of the wardrobe provided with inwardly extending U- shaped bends 24 in such a way that suspension means for dressers or holders for canes, umbrellas or the like are formed. The two bars of a transverse frame element 6q are connected to those sides of the legs of members 24 which face each other while a similar transverse frame element 6:; is provided at the opposite side on the frame bars 8: Two transverse frame elements Sq each are connected to the upper frame bars 7q and to the lower frame bars 9q.
Some of the frame parts 3q which are located between the outermost frame members 2: are provided with upper frame bars 7r which are designed as undulated suspension elements for suspending hangers or the like. These suspension members 7r are located below the frame bars 7q. The upper frame bars 7s of additional frame parts 4q located between the outer frame members 2q are interrupted in the middle whereby their ends are bent in a hook-shaped manner and are located below the upper frame bars 7q in the wardrobe so that they are likewise suitable for suspending clothing, coats or the like.
