Definitions

  • This invention relates to a seat, particularly but not exclusively for use on a vehicle, for example a vehicle that forms part of a mass transit or underground train .
  • a seat comprising a plurality of extruded elements which extend parallel to the front edge of the seat, each extruded element being of substantially the same length and being rigidly interlocked to each adjacent extruded element by at least two interlocking formations so as to form a rigid seat structure, the seat structure defining a bench portion, a linking corner portion, and a backrest portion, the seat also including support means such that the seat structure is held in a fixed position.
  • Adjacent extruded elements are assembled by sliding longitudinally so that the interlocking formations mate together.
  • the interlocking formations are generally dovetail-shaped, with a narrow part and a wider part further from the rest of the extruded element.
  • the extruded element defining the linking corner portion is a hollow structure.
  • the extruded element defining the backrest portion is preferably also a hollow structure.
  • the space under the bench portion may be open.
  • a front panel enclosing the space under the bench portion, and such a front panel may be hinged to the bench portion, the hinge comprising extruded elements, or the front panel may be interconnected rigidly to the bench portion.
  • the support means may comprise legs or side plates on which the ends of the seat structure rest.
  • the upper edge of the backrest portion may be fixed to a support element such as a wall.
  • two such seats may be arranged back to back, and the upper edges of the backrest portions joined together.
  • the seat member is padded on its upper surface for comfort. It may also incorporate arm rests.
  • the extruded elements may be provided with a fire-resistant coat of intumescent material.
  • Figure 1 shows a sectional view, in a vertical plane, through a bench seat of the invention.
  • a bench seat 10 is shown for use in an underground train, attached to a wall of the vehicle.
  • the structural components of the bench seat 10 are formed from interlocked aluminium extrusions 12 - 17, as follows.
  • a support rail 12 is attached to the wall 20 by bolts 22, and also forms the top of the seat back.
  • a box-form back plate 14 is attached along its top edge to the support rail 12, and is attached along its bottom edge to a hollow corner rail 15.
  • the front edge of the hollow corner rail 15 is connected to a seat panel 16.
  • a front panel 17 is hingedly connected to the underside of the seat panel 16 near its front edge. The bottom edge of the front panel 17 rests on the floor 24.
  • the support rail 12 is a box structure, but also defines a forward-projecting L-shaped flange 13, and a pair of ridges and slots 26 along its bottom edge which mate with a corresponding pair of ridges and slots 27 along the top edge of the back plate 14.
  • the corner rail 15 defines a pair of ridges and slots 28 along its top edge which mate with a corresponding pair of ridges and slots 29 along the bottom edge of the back plate 14, and defines a pair of ridges and slots 30 along its front edge which mate with a corresponding pair of ridges and slots 31 along the back edge of the seat panel 16.
  • the seat panel 16 has three longitudinal L-shaped flanges 32 to enhance its rigidity, and which provide location and support for a steel tray 50 (described below) .
  • the seat panel 16 curves downwardly and has a downward-facing inclined flange 34, alongside which is a flat area on which is a rubber sealing strip 35, and on its lower surface is a projection defining a C-shaped slot 36.
  • the front panel 17 has a forwardly-projecting box flange 37 which rests against the sealing strip 35, and an inclined forwardly- projecting flange 38 which rests against the flange 34; it also has a backwardly-projecting C-shaped flange 40 which locates in the slot 36. It has two longitudinal L- shaped flanges 41 to enhance its rigidity, and its lower edge 42 rests on the floor 24.
  • These structural components 12-17 are assembled by sliding the ridges or projections into the slots or grooves.
  • the pairs of ridges and slots 26 and 27, 28 and 29, 30 and 31 provide substantially rigid joints, and after assembly these joints may be permanently secured for example by spot welding, and a bead of sealant may be applied along the front edge.
  • the C-shaped flange 40 in the slot 36 enables the front panel 17 to hinge about the seat panel 16 through an angle of about 75°.
  • the rubber strip 35 ensures that the hinged joint is watertight (when the panel 17 is in the position shown) .
  • the front panel 17 may also be provided with a locking mechanism (not shown) by which it is secured in the position shown.
  • the seat 10 is provided with a support plate 45 with a sealing strip (not shown) along its outer edge, the support plate 45 being fixed to the wall 20 and floor 24 and abutting the rear and under surfaces of the structural components 12-17 when in the position shown.
  • the support plate 45 may be of cast aluminium. It provides support to the seat panel 16 in carrying the weight of the passengers.
  • the flanges 41 on the front panel 17 are cut off 25 mm from each end, so as to present a flat surface up against the support plate 45.
  • each passenger position along the bench seat 10 is upholstered separately, being provided with a rectangular steel tray 50 with ridges or corrugations in its base, upstanding walls along the sides with slots at their base, and an upstanding wall along the back with a turned-over edge 51.
  • This tray 50 rests on the seat panel 16 with its front edge secured by a screw 52, and a projecting part of its base locating in a groove in the corner rail 15.
  • the tray 50 is covered by a foam pad 54, and this is covered with a fabric cover 56 secured by means of plastic J-strips sewn onto the fabric, these engaging with the turned-over edge 51 at the back, with the slots along the side walls, and with the flange 34 along the front edge of the seat panel 16.
  • each passenger position is provided with a steel tray 60 to fit the back plate 14, the steel tray 60 having a flange with a turned over edge 61 at its bottom, and slots along the side edges.
  • the lower half of each tray 60 tapers slightly so there is a tapered gap between adjacent trays to fit an arm rest 65.
  • the tray 60 is placed up against the back plate 14, with a projecting part of its base locating in a groove in the corner rail 15, and secured by a screw 62 near the top.
  • the tray 60 is covered by a foam pad 64, and this is covered with a fabric cover 66 secured by means of J-strips, these engaging with the turned-over edge 61 at the bottom, with the slots along the sides, and with the flange 13 on the support rail 12.
  • the arm rest 65 has a projecting part which fits in the tapered gap in between adjacent trays 60, and is attached to the back plate 14 by bolts (not shown) passing through holes drilled between adjacent internal webs 70 within the back plate 14.
  • the upstanding walls on the trays 50 are separated only by two layers of fabric 56, so there is substantially no gap into which rubbish or hazardous objects may be pushed.
  • a seat may be modified in various ways, while remaining within the scope of the invention.
  • the seat may be of various different lengths, typically being designed to carry between one and six seated passengers. For longer seats it would be necessary to provide one or more intermediate supports to the seat panel 16 along its length. Such intermediate supports may be of any convenient shape, as they do not need to seal to the rear surface of the seat 10.
  • upholstery it may differ from that shown, and for example might include springs in place of, or in addition to, foam padding.
  • the trays carrying the upholstery might differ from those shown, and might for example be secured against sliding forwards by abutting an upward flange on the front edge of the seat panel 16 instead of or in addition to the securing screws 52.
  • the upholstery might be replaced by a moulded plastic bench, or individual moulded plastic seats attached for example by bolts to the seat panel 16 and the back panel 14; such plastic seats might be of polyethylene.
  • the extruded components may differ from those described.
  • the components defining the rigid part of the seat i.e. components 12-16
  • the components defining the rigid part of the seat i.e. components 12-16
  • components 12 and 14 might be integral with each other
  • components 15 and 16 might be integral with each other.
