Description

SIEGE DU TYPE DIVAN LIT OU AUTRE TRANSFORMABLE.SEAT OF THE DIVAN BED OR OTHER TRANSFORMABLE TYPE.
La présente invention concerne un siège du type divan-lit ou autre transformable.The present invention relates to a seat of the sofa bed or other transformable type.
On rencontre actuellement différentes formes de réalisation de divan transformable en lit et inversement. Ceux-ci comprennent en général une structure de support réalisée généralement en profilés, cette structure comportant une partie fixe et une partie mobile qui supportent des éléments de rembour¬ rage du dossier et du siège. Les éléments de rembourrage sont généralement constitués par un matériau expansé du type mousse, fermé dans une housse de tissu, de cuir ou autre.There are currently various embodiments of a sofa convertible into a bed and vice versa. These generally comprise a support structure generally produced in profiles, this structure comprising a fixed part and a movable part which support elements of padding of the backrest and the seat. The padding elements are generally constituted by an expanded material of the foam type, closed in a fabric, leather or other cover.
Les divans-lits transformables de ce type sont coûteux, soit en raison de la fabrication de l'armature ou structure, soit en rai¬ son de celle seulement des éléments de rembourrage. Généralement, ces divans-lits transformables comprennent une arma¬ ture constituant le divan fixe avec son propre rembourrage et une armature articulée en plusieurs parties qui se replie dans la par¬ tie fixe du siège. Cette armature articulée constitue le lit prop¬ rement dit avec ses éléments de ressort ou suspension et de rem- bourrage propre.Transformable sofa beds of this type are expensive, either because of the manufacture of the frame or structure, or because of that only of the upholstery elements. Generally, these convertible sofa beds include a frame constituting the fixed sofa with its own padding and a frame articulated in several parts which folds back into the fixed part of the seat. This articulated frame constitutes the bed proper with its spring or suspension elements and of its own stuffing.
Il résulte de cette conception une grande complexité et un coût élevé.The result of this design is great complexity and high cost.
De plus, il est fréquent qu'en raison de la réalisation du lit proprement dit en plusieurs parties de faibles largeur pour se loger dans le siège, l'armature de certaines de ces parties de PLACEMENT faible largeur doit être dotée d'éléments transversaux de régi- dification qui en position déployée du lit sont placés transver- sallement à la couche, ce qui est particulièrement inconfortable.In addition, it is common that due to the realization of the bed itself in several parts of small width to be housed in the seat, the frame of some of these parts of PLACEMENT narrow width must be provided with transverse regulating elements which in the deployed position of the bed are placed transversely to the diaper, which is particularly uncomfortable.
Un autre désavantage des divans-lits transformables de type connu est qu'ils ne permettent q'une seule transformation d'une position de fermeture, c'est à dire de divan, à une position d'ouverture, c'est à dire de lit.Another disadvantage of convertible sofa beds of known type is that they only allow a single transformation from a closed position, that is to say a sofa, to an open position, that is to say bed.
De tels divans ne permettent pas de position intermédiaire de relax ou bien une orientation à volonté de l'une de leur partie, par exemple la partie constituant le dos.Such couches do not allow an intermediate position of relax or an orientation at will of one of their part, for example the part constituting the back.
Une orientation.de la partie constituant le dossier est réalisée sur des armatures de chaise de plage ou de jardin.An orientation. Of the part constituting the backrest is carried out on beach or garden chair frames.
De tels sièges présentent une armature avec un châssis périphé¬ rique en trois parties reliées les une autres au moyen de charniè- res réglables.Such seats have a frame with a three-part periphery frame connected to one another by means of adjustable hinges.
Entre les montants longitudinaux du châssis est généralement déposé un tressage, en général en toile, pour supporter l'utilisa¬ teur. Un tel dispositif peut être doté d'un matelas ou en recevoir un. Sur de tels sièges les trois parties ont généralement la même dimension, ce qui permet leur portionne ent en superposition pour réduire l'encombrement et faciliter le transport. De tels sièges ne sont pas assimilables à des divans transforma¬ bles.Between the longitudinal uprights of the chassis is generally deposited a braiding, generally in canvas, to support the user. Such a device can be provided with a mattress or receive one. On such seats, the three parts generally have the same dimension, which allows them to be overlapped to reduce bulk and facilitate transport. Such seats cannot be assimilated to transformable couches.
Le but de la présente invention est de réaliser un divan transfor¬ mable en lit, simple à réaliser tant au niveau de l'armature que des éléments de rembourrage, ce divan étant apte à permettre un fonctionnement orienté d'au moins une et éventuellement de plu¬ sieurs de ses parties, ce divan présentant en outre l'avantage d'être composé d'un nombre réduit d'éléments et d'être d'un grand confort.The purpose of the present invention is to provide a sofa convertible into a bed, which is simple to produce both in terms of the frame and upholstery elements, this couch being capable of allowing oriented operation of at least one and possibly of several of its parts, this couch also having the advantage of being composed of a reduced number of elements and to be very comfortable.
Dans le sens du but recherché, il est proposé un divan rembourré permettant une grande liberté de conception de la forme extérieu¬ re.In the sense of the desired goal, there is proposed a padded sofa allowing great freedom of design of the external form.
A cet effet, le divan transformable en lit selon l'invention com- prenant une armature de support, un rembourrage et une couverture, se caractérise en ce que :To this end, the sofa convertible into a bed according to the invention comprising a support frame, padding and a blanket, is characterized in that:
- L'armature de support comprend un châssis périphérique en plu¬ sieurs secteurs successifs, reliés par des charnières, au moins une charnière et de préférence la charnière interposée entre le dossier et le secteur adjacent étant à orientation réglable,The support frame comprises a peripheral chassis in several successive sectors, connected by hinges, at least one hinge and preferably the hinge interposed between the backrest and the adjacent sector being of adjustable orientation,
- le rembourrage est un élément continu auquel est intégrée l'arma¬ ture de support- the padding is a continuous element in which the support frame is integrated
- la couverture externe est une housse qui enveloppe les éléments de rembourrage dans lesquels est logée l'armature de support, - préférentiellement entre les montants longitudinaux du châssis périphérique sont disposé des éléments transversaux avec fonction de support interne des éléments de rembourrage.- The external cover is a cover which envelops the padding elements in which the support frame is housed, - preferably between the longitudinal uprights of the peripheral frame are arranged transverse elements with internal support function of the padding elements.
Selon l'invention, la partie du rembourrage est constituée de deux éléments en un matériau expansé disposés l'un sur l'autre et alongés sur toute l'armature ; pour cette raison la housse incor¬ porée fait fonction de fixation des deux éléments en prenant entre eux l'armature.According to the invention, the part of the padding consists of two elements made of expanded material arranged one on the other and elongated over the entire frame; for this reason the incorporated cover is used for fixing the two elements by taking the frame between them.
FEUILLE DE REMPLACEMENT Selon l'invention, les dits éléments transversaux ayant fonction de support sont, de préférence, des éléments flexibles ou souples, par exemple des sangles, fixées par l'intermédiaire de crochets d'extrémité au châssis périphérique.REPLACEMENT SHEET According to the invention, said transverse elements having a support function are preferably flexible or flexible elements, for example straps, fixed by means of end hooks to the peripheral chassis.
Selon l'invention, l'armature périphérique comprend un partie for¬ mant dossier, une partie formant le fond ou base, une partie droi¬ te et une partie formant siège, la partie du fond présente, d'une manière interressante, des pieds fixes servant d'appui.According to the invention, the peripheral reinforcement comprises a part forming the back, a part forming the bottom or base, a straight part and a part forming a seat, the part of the bottom having, in an interresting manner, feet fixed for support.
Selon l'invention, en outre, les charnières à orientation réglab¬ le, peuvent être prévues à tous les points de liaison des diver¬ ses parties du châssis, de manière à permettre, à l'envie, l'ob¬ tention des positions de relax.According to the invention, moreover, the hinges with adjustable orientation can be provided at all the connection points of the various parts of the chassis, so as to allow positions to be obtained as desired. to relax.
Le divan transformable rembourré selon l'invention, a l'avantage d'une construction extrêmement simple, par exemple en quatre secteurs de châssis réalisés en des tubes périphériques fixés simplement au moyen de charnières, lesquelles font office de liai¬ son. Un tel châssis a l'avantage de ne nécessiter aucun travail particulier de finition, puisqu'il s'incorpore dans la partie rem- bourrée et de cette façon devient invisible.The convertible upholstered couch according to the invention has the advantage of an extremely simple construction, for example in four frame sectors made of peripheral tubes fixed simply by means of hinges, which act as a link. The advantage of such a frame is that it does not require any particular finishing work, since it is incorporated into the filled part and in this way becomes invisible.
Encore un avantage consiste dans le libre choix de la section transversale des tubes utilisés pour la formation du châssis, le libre choix de la conformation à donner aux différents secteurs du châssis et, par là même, à la conformation finale du divan.Another advantage consists in the free choice of the cross section of the tubes used for the formation of the frame, the free choice of the conformation to be given to the different sectors of the frame and, thereby, to the final conformation of the couch.
D'autre avantages et caractéristiques de l'invention apparaî¬ tront à la lecture de la description ci-après des formes de réali¬ sation données à titre préférentiel et non limitatif, illustrée par les dessins joints dans lesquels :Other advantages and characteristics of the invention will appear on reading the description below of the embodiments given on a preferential and nonlimiting basis, illustrated by the attached drawings in which:

Tel que représenté aux dessins annexes, le siège du type divan 1 transformable en lit selon l'invention est composé d'une armature de support (2) périphérique (c'est à dire qui suit le contour du divan), d'une partie de rembourrage (3) et d'une partie faisant office de couverture (4).As shown in the accompanying drawings, the seat of the sofa type 1 convertible into a bed according to the invention is composed of a peripheral support frame (2) (that follows the outline of the sofa), of a part padding (3) and a part serving as a cover (4).
Comme décrite à la figure 7, la dite couverture (4) est indiquée par une ligne fortement hachurée pour une meilleure clarté. L'armature 2 selon l'invention est pourvue d'un châssis formé de quatre secteurs successifs : plus précisément d'une partie dossier 5, d'une partie formant le fond 6 ou base, d'une partie verticaleAs described in Figure 7, said cover (4) is indicated by a heavily hatched line for better clarity. The frame 2 according to the invention is provided with a frame formed by four successive sectors: more specifically with a back part 5, of a part forming the bottom 6 or base, of a vertical part
7 et d'une partie siège 8.7 and a seat part 8.
De telles parties sont avantageusement réalisées en un profilé creux ou bien tubulaire, lesquels, pour les renforcer, peuvent être reliés par des traverses 9.Such parts are advantageously produced in a hollow or tubular profile, which, to reinforce them, can be connected by crosspieces 9.
Les parties 5 - 8 sont reliées entre elles par les charnières 10,The parts 5 - 8 are connected to each other by the hinges 10,
11 et 12.11 and 12.
Les charnières 10, au moins, c'est à dire celles interposées entre la partie du dossier 5 et la partie constituant le fond 6, sont à orientation réglable pour permettre une orientation, à l'envie, de la partie dossier 5.The hinges 10, at least, that is to say those interposed between the part of the back 5 and the part constituting the bottom 6, are adjustable in orientation to allow orientation, as desired, of the back part 5.
De telles charnières, à orientation réglable, sont en elles-mê¬ mes connues, sans qu'il soit nécessaire de les décrire, ces char¬ nières pouvant se bloquer suivant plusieurs angles variables. Dans une première forme d'exécution, les charnières 11 et 12 sont des charnières à libre rotation jusqu'à 90°.Such hinges, with adjustable orientation, are known in themselves, without it being necessary to describe them, these hinges being able to lock at several variable angles. In a first embodiment, the hinges 11 and 12 are hinges with free rotation up to 90 °.
Les parties verticale 7 et celle formant le siège 8 peuvent être rotatives suivant un angle de 90° et permettre leur positionnement dans le même plan horizontal que la partie formant le fond 6. Cette dernière présente des pieds fixes de support référencé par 13.The vertical parts 7 and that forming the seat 8 can be rotatable at an angle of 90 ° and allow their positioning in the same horizontal plane as the part forming the bottom 6. The latter has fixed support legs referenced by 13.
Ils apportent au divan la stabilité nécessaire durant l'emploi. La partie rembourrée 3 peut être faite de deux demi-rembourrages 14, 15, composés de deux éléments en une ou plusieures pièces en matériel expansé du type mousse, en guise de matelas.They provide the sofa with the necessary stability during use. The padded part 3 can be made of two half-padding 14, 15, composed of two elements in one or more pieces of foam-type expanded material, as a mattress.
Entre ceux-ci est disposée l'armature 2 et l'ensemble ainsi formé est maintenu par la partie couverture 4 prévue sous forme de hous¬ se. Pour des raisons de finition, ou d'enlèvement, la dite housse de couverture 4 comporte une fermeture éclair, non illustrée, permet¬ tant sa fermeture et son ouverture. La housse de couverture et d'assemblage et de maintient 4 est fai- te d'un matériau élastique, afin de suivre le profil de la face externe des demi-rembourrages 14 et 15.Between these is placed the armature 2 and the assembly thus formed is held by the cover part 4 provided in the form of a hous¬. For reasons of finishing, or removal, said cover cover 4 includes a zipper, not shown, allowing it to be closed and opened. The cover for covering and assembling and holding 4 is made of an elastic material, in order to follow the profile of the external face of the half-paddings 14 and 15.
Les dits demi-rembourrages 14 et 15 peuvent, en effet, présenter des secteurs profilés, ou bien des sections transversales varia¬ bles pour obtenir la forme ou bien l'aspect tels que désirés du canapé lit transformable réalisé selon l'invention. Les dessins représentent une forme extérieure de réalisation.Said half-padding 14 and 15 may, in fact, have profiled sectors, or alternatively cross sections to obtain the shape or the appearance as desired of the convertible sofa bed produced according to the invention. The drawings represent an external embodiment.
Dans une variante prévue par l'invention la partie rembourrée 3 peut aussi être obtenue par la pose de mousse directement sur le châssis 2. Figure 1 la référence 17 indique les éléments transversaux ayant fonction de support de ïà partie de rembourrage 3 (ou bien 14,15). Ces éléments transversaux 17 sont prévus sous forme de sangles munies de crochets 18 aux extrémités, s'engageant par exemple dans les fentes 19 ménagées sur les secteurs 5-8 de l'armature. Au moyen des charnières 10 à orientation réglables la partie dos¬ sier 5 peut être disposée suivant l'angle dessiné comme l'illus¬ tre le dessin par une ligne continue et une ligne en pointillés. De semblables charnières à orientation réglables peuvent être employées aussi pour les charnières 12 ou bien pour les charnières 11 et 12, il sera alors possible de positionner en inclinaison, également comme représenté à la fig. 8, la partie siège 8, ou bien les parties du siège 8 et la partie verticale 7 placées précédem¬ ment en position horizontale, comme représenté par un trait conti¬ nu et un trait en pointillés à la figure 2. Le passage de la position de divan ou bien de fauteuil à la posi¬ tion allongée de lit, ou bien à la position inclinée de la partie dossier ou de la partie siège, pour la position dite "relax" se font ensuite simplement, moyennant une orientation ou bien une rotation manuelle des secteurs correspondants de l'armature 2.In a variant provided by the invention the padded part 3 can also be obtained by laying foam directly on the frame 2. Figure 1 the reference 17 indicates the transverse elements having the function of supporting the padding part 3 (or else 14 , 15). These transverse elements 17 are provided in the form of straps provided with hooks 18 at the ends, engaging for example in the slots 19 formed on the sectors 5-8 of the frame. By means of hinges 10 with adjustable orientation, the dos¬ sier part 5 can be arranged at the drawn angle as shown in the drawing by a continuous line and a dotted line. Similar hinges with adjustable orientation can also be used for the hinges 12 or else for the hinges 11 and 12, it will then be possible to position in inclination, also as shown in FIG. 8, the seat part 8, or else the parts of the seat 8 and the vertical part 7 placed previously in a horizontal position, as shown by a continuous line and a dotted line in FIG. 2. The transition from the couch or armchair position to the elongated position of the bed, or to the inclined position of the back part or of the seat part, for the so-called "relaxed" position is then done simply, with a orientation or manual rotation of the corresponding sectors of the armature 2.
La figure 9 représente une forme simplifiée de réalisation de l'invention réalisant un siège bas du type coussin ou banquette, c'est à dire ne comportant que les secteurs 6-7 et 8 à l'exclusion du dossier 5. Cette description illustre clairement que la struc- ture du divan transformable selon l'invention réalise un concept de base de l'invention et réalise les avantages cités plus haut. En particulier, on obtient un châssis de support d'exécution extrêmement simple et ne demandant pas des phases de finition, comme il est habituel pour des châssis, comme de même la par- tie de rembourrage est obtenue d'une manière simple, tout en pou¬ vant présenter des zones de densité ou dépaisseurs diverses selon leur fonction de support, pour la partie siège, ou bien d'appui comme pour la partie dossier.FIG. 9 represents a simplified embodiment of the invention providing a low seat of the cushion or bench type, that is to say comprising only sectors 6-7 and 8 excluding the backrest 5. This description clearly illustrates that the structure of the convertible couch according to the invention achieves a basic concept of the invention and achieves the advantages mentioned above. In particular, an extremely simple execution support frame is obtained which does not require finishing phases, as is usual for frames, as also the padding part is obtained in a simple manner, while pou¬ vant present areas of density or various thicknesses depending on their support function, for the seat part, or support as for the back part.
L'assemblage aussi bien du support que de la partie rembourrage, dans le cas de deux demi-rembourrages, se fait d'une manière sim¬ ple et rapide, la housse externe de la couverture permettant un maintien irréprochable de l'assemblage.The assembly of both the support and the padding part, in the case of two half-padding, is done in a sim¬ ple and rapid manner, the outer cover of the cover allowing impeccable maintenance of the assembly.
La position correcte du siège dans la position de divan est assu¬ rée, outre la superposition par appui de la partie de rembourrage par la position géométrique découlant de l'opposition des deux côtés des charnières 12.The correct position of the seat in the couch position is ensured, in addition to the superposition by support of the padding part by the geometrical position resulting from the opposition of the two sides of the hinges 12.
Ces avantages sont obtenus aussi bien avec un rembourrage en deux parties qu'avec un rembourrage en une seule partie. Un autre avantage de l'armature intégrée dans le rembourrage c'est à dire disposée entre deux couches de rembourrage est que :These advantages are obtained both with a two-part padding and with a single part padding. Another advantage of the frame integrated in the padding, that is to say disposed between two layers of padding, is that:
- d'une part la couche inférieure fait fonction de sommier et la couche supérieure de matelas, elle peuvent à cet effet être de densités différentes,on the one hand, the lower layer acts as a box spring and the upper layer of mattress, they can for this purpose be of different densities,
- d'autre part le poids de la personne n'est pas supporté par et transmis directement à l'armature comme c'est le cas généralement mais au contraire celle-ci coopère avec la couche inférieure lors¬ qu'elle reçoit le poids de l'utilisateur.- on the other hand the weight of the person is not supported by and transmitted directly to the frame as is generally the case but on the contrary it cooperates with the lower layer when it receives the weight of the user.
Selon l'invention,toutes les parties principales sont remplaçables par d'autres techniquement équivalentes, sans pour autant que cel¬ les-ci ne sortent de la protection de l'invention ; par exemple les montants périphériques du châssis bien que rectilignes pou- raient présenter une allure curviligne, aussi bien sur le plan horizontal que sur le plan vertical et, plus particulièrement aus¬ si bien dans un sens concave que convexe, de manière à laisser le maximum de liberté de conception en liaison avec la possibilité de profiler le rembourrage pour l'aménagement de l'aspect final ou de la forme du divan. Bien qu'il soit fait référence expressément à un divan, ce qui est précité est valable pour les fauteuils transformables en lits ou des poufs ou des banquettes.According to the invention, all the main parts can be replaced by other technically equivalent ones, without, however, departing from the protection of the invention; for example, the peripheral uprights of the chassis, although rectilinear, could have a curvilinear shape, both on the horizontal plane and on the vertical plane and, more particularly aus¬ so well in a concave than convex direction, so as to leave the maximum freedom of design in connection with the possibility of profiling the padding for the arrangement of the final appearance or the shape of the sofa. Although express reference is made to a sofa, the above is valid for armchairs convertible into beds or poufs or benches.
L'armature peut être aussi bien fabriquée en métal qu'en matière plastique.The frame can be made of metal as well as plastic.
La présente invention peut recevoir des aménagements et des variantes dans le domaine des équivalents techniques sans pour autant sortir du cadre du présent brevet tel que défini par les revendications ci-après. The present invention can receive arrangements and variants in the field of technical equivalents without departing from the scope of this patent as defined by the claims below.
