Definitions

• the invention relates to attachable seat furniture, consisting of a cover furniture and a base piece of furniture, each of which is provided with a seating arrangement, with a supporting structure for said arrangement and with legs, both furniture being fit to occupy a coupling position.
• the seating arrangement of the cover furniture has a first elastic, tensioned laminar structure, under which a main body comprising a pri ⁇ mere padded part supported on a rigid part, said main body being able to be moved between an upper position, contiguous with the lower face of the laminar structure, and a lower position, also displaced laterally with respect to its position ⁇ Perior, there being, on the one hand, guide grooves equipped with an inclined section, in which the prominences of said main body are likely to be moved and, on the other hand, elastic means that tend to keep said main body in said higher position; because the seating arrangement of the passenger compartment has a second padded part that rests immovably on a second rigid part,
• said sides on which the cantilever is located are comprised between the front side and the rear side of the furniture.
• chairs, armchairs or the like are followed, which have the seat part padded and, if so desired, also the backrest part and all this, both in each of the furniture individual, as in the furniture resulting from the coupling of both.
• Fig. 1 a perspective view, partially sectioned, of the cover unit, without the presence of the main body.
• Fig. 2 a front elevation view, partially in section, of the cover piece and the bottom piece in a relative position of separation prior to the coupling position.
• FIG. 3 a view analogous to the previous one, in an intermediate position between the separation positions and coupling
• Fig. 4 a view similar to the previous two, corresponding to the coupling position of both furniture.
• Fig. 5 a section according to the V-V line of the
• the attachable seating furniture object of the present invention are constituted by a cover piece 2 and a base piece 4 which, in accordance with the qualifying label of attachable, can be coupled forming a single piece of furniture, all in such a way that they are usable in the same degree both in this coupling position, and in the separation positions.
• Each of the two furniture covers 2 and bottom 4 comprises a seating arrangement 6, 8 (taking into account that said expression is used to indicate the part of the furniture in which the user rests), a supporting structure 10 for the above provision, which is mentioned again below, and legs 12, 14. Other elements of the furniture are also mentioned later.
• the seating arrangement 6 of the cover furniture 2 has a first sheet structure 16 which is elastic and is tensioned, at least in the direction of the movement leading from the coupling position to the separation position or vice versa.
• a main body formed by a first padded part 18 and a rigid part 20.
• This main body 18, 20 can be moved between an upper position (Fig. 2) in which it is immediate ⁇ mind below the laminar structure 16 and a lower position (Figs. 3-5) in which it is remote from the structure 16 and in which it has also been subject to lateral displacement; In this movement the existence of guide slots 22 in which they slide prominences 24 (preferably casters) of the main body 18, 20.
• the seating arrangement 8 of the lower cabinet 4 comprises a second padded part 30 whose upper surface is represented in section by means of a line of stripes and dots; This padded part 30 is immovably connected with a second rigid structure 32, both of which are motionless with respect to the lower cabinet 4.
• the seating position 8 of the lower cabinet 2 which drives the main body 18, 20 to its lower position, when the coupling of both furniture is carried out.
• each seating arrangement 6.8 provides that these structures form a cantilever that starts substantially in the middle of a piece of furniture; if the overhang of the cover piece 2 is located on one of the four sides thereof, the overhang of the sideboard furniture 4 must be on the opposite side, that is, if the overhang is on the right side of the cover, on the bottom, the corresponding overhang is on the left (Fig. 2) and if the cover is located on the back, the overhang is located on the bottom.
• the sides on which the overhang is located are comprised between the front side and the rear side of the corresponding furniture.
• the supporting structure 10 comprises a front cross member 34, a rear cross member 35 and two or more stringers 38; In this case, the free section 40 of each cross member is integrated into the overhang.
• the stringers 38 extend between both crossings 34, 35 in sections other than the cantilever section 40.
• the traverses of the bottom piece of furniture 4 are comprised between those of the cover unit 2. It is obvious that these overhangs are necessary so as not to hinder the mutual penetration of the furniture 2,4 when occupying the position coupling Therefore, legs 12, 14 must meet certain requirements.
• the legs 12 opposite the cantilever side are conventional; however, the legs 14 of the cantilever side itself only relate to the supporting structure portion outside the cantilever, although due to balancing imperatives, the lower ends 42 (Fig. 2) of these legs 14 are substantially vertically of the free edge of the overhang or, in other words, substantially coincide with the orthogonal projection of said free edge. This condition is acquired by means of the sharp inclination shown in the figures or because these legs 14 have two or more angularly arranged sections.
• the legs 12, 14 of the lower cabinet 4 are included between the legs 12, 14 of the cover unit 2.
• the invention also provides for the existence of arms in the furniture 2, 4. In the present case, distinction is made between the arms 42 (Figs. 1 and 2) located on the side opposite to the overhang; the arm 44 belonging to the side of the overhang in the cover furniture 2 and the arm 46, also of the side of the overhang, but corresponding tooth to the storage cabinet 4.
• the arms 44, 46 comprise a section 48 for support of the user and two connecting rods 50, so that section 48 and rods 50 delimit a free space that allows the coupling of the seats.
• the arm 46 may constitute an impediment to the coupling.
• the invention provides that it is foldable by tilting to the position 46a of Fig. 2 and that once in this folding position, it is slidable along guides 52 until the rods 50 are attached to the respective crossbars, only section 48 (Figs. 3 and 4) standing out.
• the said downward and sliding movements can be followed by conventional means that need not be described.
• each backrest comprises elongate members 58.60 substantially horizontal and offset so that the members 58 of the backrest 54 are interspersed between the elongated members 60 of the backrest 56 and respectively.
• the backrests 54.56 have support elements 61 that are only in one half of the respective furniture, so that they cannot hinder the passage to the coupling position, juxtaposing (Fig. 4 ) in that position.
• the backrest 54 of the cover piece 2 has an elastic sheet structure 62 (Fig. 5) so that there is a space between it and the elongate members 58, and said space, in the position of coupling, it is occupied by the elastic laminar structure 64 of the backrest 56 of the storage unit 4.
• the upper and lower elongated members 58a (Figs. 1 and 5) define first open grooves towards the other elongated members, which are suitable for coupling with second grooves 66, opened in the opposite direction , which are practiced along the elongated end members of the backrest 56 of the storage cabinet 2.
