Abstract

The present invention relates to a folding stool that is very compact since the lateral sides of the stool are inserted between the front sides of the stool when the stool is in the folded configuration. The stool is folded and extended by a single hand movement. The stool has openings in the horizontal surface thereof which can be used as a transport handle when the stool is folded. The horizontal surface has non-slip properties because of its texture. The supporting elements of the stool, i.e. the legs, have ribs to ensure high mechanical strength, while also being very lightweight and requiring less raw material to produce.

Antecedentes de la invención BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Los taburetes plegables son conocidos, pero en ocasiones su plegado y desplegado es complicado y conducente a atrapar los dedos entre los elementos plegables. Otra desventaja de los taburetes plegables conocidos es que una vez plegados, estos suelen tener superficies irregulares y no paralelas que no permiten colocar otros objetos sobre los mismos de forma estable y segura. The folding stools are known, but sometimes folding and unfolding is complicated and leads to catch the fingers between the folding elements. Another disadvantage of the known folding stools is that once folded, these usually have irregular and non-parallel surfaces that do not allow to place other objects on them in a stable and secure way.
i Resumen de la invención i Summary of the invention
Un aspecto de la presente invención aporta un taburete plegable que comprende: One aspect of the present invention provides a folding stool comprising:
- un elemento plano de asiento plegable, en forma de cuadrilátero; - dos elementos planos de soporte plegables, que se prolongan desde dos extremos paralelos del elemento plano de asiento plegable, respectivamente, esencialmente de forma perpendicular o casi-perpendicular, al elemento plano de asiento plegable; y - a flat folding seat element, in the form of a quadrilateral; - two foldable flat support elements, extending from two parallel ends of the foldable flat seat element, respectively, essentially perpendicular or almost-perpendicular, to the foldable flat seat element; Y
- dos elementos planos de soporte no-plegables, que se prolongan desde dos extremos paralelos del elemento plano de asiento plegable, respectivamente, esencialmente de forma perpendicular o casi-perpendicular, al elemento plano de asiento y son perpendiculares o casi perpendiculares a los elementos planos de soporte plegables; en donde el elemento plano de asiento es plegable sobre un eje paralelo a uno de sus lados; los elementos planos de soporte plegables son perpendiculares al eje de plegado del elemento plano de asiento y son plegables sobre ejes perpendiculares o casi-perpendiculares y co-planares al eje de plegado del elemento plano de asiento; dichos elementos planos de soporte plegables estando conectados de forma móvil en sus extremos a los elementos planos de soporte no-plegables y los elementos planos de soporte no-plegables estando conectados de forma móvil a dos extremos opuestos del elemento plano de asiento, respectivamente, de forma que al plegar el elemento plano de asiento sobre su eje de plegado, los elementos planos de soporte plegables se pliegan sobre sus ejes de plegado y los elementos planos de soporte no-plegables se acercan uno a otro hasta encontrarse y quedar todos los elemento planos paralelos entre sí, formando un taburete plegado plano con superficies exteriores paralelas. - two non-collapsible flat support elements, extending from two parallel ends of the foldable flat seat element, respectively, essentially perpendicular or almost-perpendicular, to the flat seat element and are perpendicular or almost perpendicular to the flat elements of folding support; wherein the flat seat element is foldable on an axis parallel to one of its sides; the foldable flat support elements are perpendicular to the folding axis of the flat seating element and are foldable on perpendicular or almost-perpendicular and co-planar axes to the folding axis of the flat seating element; said foldable planar support elements being movably connected at their ends to the non-collapsible planar support elements and the non-collapsible planar support elements being movably connected to two opposite ends of the planar seating element, respectively, so that when folding the flat seat element on its folding axis, the folding flat support elements are folded over their folding axes and the non-collapsible flat supporting elements approach each other until all flat elements meet and remain parallel to each other, forming a flat folded stool with parallel exterior surfaces.
Un taburete plegable como el descrito anteriormente tiene la ventaja de que es fácilmente plegable con un solo movimiento, ya que al plegar el elemento plano de asiento, el resto de elementos están conectados de forma que se pliegan simultáneamente hasta formar un taburete plegado plano. Esta sencillez en el plegado es una ventaja ya que evita la posibilidad de atraparse los dedos entre los elementos plegables. Otra ventaja es que el taburete, en su forma plegada, tiene todos sus elementos paralelos entre sí y queda en forma plana, facilitando su almacenamiento cuando no está en uso, debido a dos motivos: a) al estar plegado, ocupa un espacio reducido y b) al tener forma plana y sus elementos paralelos entre sí, se pueden colocar otras cosas pesadas sobre el taburete plegado de forma estable y duradera, sin miedo a que dichas cosas se desequilibren y caigan o a que el taburete se rompa, ya que al tener todos sus elementos paralelos entre sí, en su forma plegada, el taburete puede soportar una carga mayor sobre el mismo en equilibrio. A folding stool as described above has the advantage that it is easily foldable with a single movement, since when folding the flat element of seat, the rest of elements are connected so that they fold simultaneously until forming a flat folded stool. This simplicity in folding is an advantage as it avoids the possibility of trapping your fingers between the folding elements. Another advantage is that the stool, in its folded shape, has all its elements parallel to each other and remains flat, facilitating storage when not in use, due to two reasons: a) when folded, occupies a small space and b ) By having a flat shape and its elements parallel to each other, other heavy things can be placed on the folded stool in a stable and durable way, without fear that said things will become unbalanced and fall or that the stool will break, since having all its elements parallel to each other, in its folded form, the stool can bear a greater load on it in balance.
De manera opcional, los elementos planos de soporte no-plegables definen un volumen o chaflán en su superficie interior para alojar a los elementos planos plegables cuando el taburete está en su forma plegada. De esta forma, el espacio ocupado por el taburete plegado es menor y se consigue un taburete plegado más compacto que ocupa menor volumen. Optionally, the non-collapsible planar support elements define a volume or chamfer on their inner surface to accommodate the foldable planar elements when the stool is in its folded form. In this way, the space occupied by the folded stool is smaller and a more compact folded stool is obtained that occupies less volume.
De manera opcional, el elemento plano de asiento define dos ranuras, una a cada lado del eje de plegado. El trozo de elemento plano que queda entre ambas ranuras tiene función de asa o agarre para facilitar el plegado del taburete al tirar de la misma y para facilitar el transporte del taburete, una vez plegado. Optionally, the flat seat member defines two slots, one on each side of the folding axis. The piece of flat element that lies between the two grooves has a handle function to facilitate the folding of the stool when pulling it and to facilitate the transport of the stool, once folded.
De forma opcional, el elemento plano de asiento comprende una superficie exterior antideslizante. De esta forma se consigue una mayor seguridad al usar el taburete como elemento de apoyo o al subirse al mismo para alcanzar a lugares elevados porque se disminuye la posibilidad de resbalar sobre la superficie del asiento. La superficie antideslizante puede comprender una superficie texturizada, como por ejemplo rugosa, con relieves en forma de red de diamante, o con relieves paralelos, etc. La superficie antideslizante también puede comprender elementos antideslizantes de tipo elastomérico, por ejemplo, con un relieve de puntos de goma (similar a los guantes de portero de fútbol) u otra configuración equivalente o similar. La superficie antideslizante puede comprender combinaciones de texturas y materiales poliméricos. Optionally, the flat seat element comprises an anti-slip outer surface. In this way greater safety is achieved by using the stool as a support element or by climbing on it to reach high places because the possibility of slipping on the seat surface is diminished. The anti-slip surface may comprise a textured surface, such as, for example, rough, with reliefs in the form of a diamond net, or with parallel reliefs, etc. The anti-slip surface can also comprise anti-slip elements of elastomeric type, for example, with a relief of rubber points (similar to the gloves of goalkeeper of football) or another equivalent or similar configuration. The anti-slip surface can comprise combinations of textures and polymeric materials.
De forma opcional, los elementos planos de soporte definen agujeros o espacios vacíos sin menoscabo de su resistencia mecánica. De esta forma se reduce el peso total del taburete y el material necesario para su fabricación sin perjuicio de su resistencia mecánica para soportar cargas en el asiento. Optionally, the flat support elements define holes or empty spaces without detriment to their mechanical strength. In this way, the total weight of the stool and the material necessary for its manufacture are reduced, without affecting its mechanical resistance to support loads in the seat.
De forma opcional, los elementos planos de soporte y/o el elemento plano de asiento comprenden elementos de pared delgada reforzados con nervadura. Este tipo de construcción de los elementos permite una reducción del peso del taburete y del material utilizado en su fabricación sin menoscabo de sus propiedades mecánicas para soportar peso sobre el asiento. Optionally, the flat support elements and / or the flat seating element comprise thin-walled elements reinforced with rib. This type of construction of the elements allows a reduction of the weight of the stool and of the material used in its manufacture without undermining its mechanical properties to support weight on the seat.
De forma opcional, los elementos planos de soporte comprenden en su base un material antideslizante. De esta forma, se reduce la posibilidad de accidentes por deslizamiento involuntario del taburete cuando hay alguna persona subido al mismo. Como ejemplo de material antideslizante, los elementos de soporte pueden comprender tacos de goma en su base. Optionally, the flat support elements comprise a non-slip material at their base. In this way, the possibility of accidents due to involuntary sliding of the stool is reduced when there is someone uploaded to it. As an example of anti-slip material, the support elements may comprise rubber blocks in their base.
Los elementos planos de soporte plegables y/o el elemento plano de asiento comprenden preferentemente bisagras y pasadores para efectuar el plegado de los mismos. El elemento plano de asiento está preferentemente conectado con los elementos planos de soporte no-plegables mediante bisagras y pasadores. The foldable flat support elements and / or the flat seat element preferably comprise hinges and pins for effecting the folding thereof. The flat seat element is preferably connected to the flat non-collapsible support elements by hinges and pins.
Los elementos planos de soporte plegables y no-plegables están preferentemente conectados mediante bisagras invisibles, situados en la cara interior de dichos elementos planos. De esta forma, el taburete plegado resulta más compacto y fácil de almacenar, ya que dichas bisagras no sobresalen de los elementos planos cuando el taburete está plegado. Otro aliciente de disponer de bisagras invisibles es que el taburete resulta más estilizado estéticamente. The flat folding and non-collapsible support elements are preferably connected by invisible hinges, located on the inner face of said flat elements. In this way, the folded stool is more compact and easy to store, since said hinges do not protrude from the flat elements when the stool is folded. Another incentive to have invisible hinges is that the stool is more aesthetically stylized.
