Description

Siège à cadre modulaire Modular frame seat
Domaine de l’invention Field of the invention
L’invention concerne un siège tel que canapé ou fauteuil. The invention relates to a seat such as a sofa or an armchair.
Etat de la technique State of the art
Il existe plusieurs variantes de sièges formés d’un ensemble de pièces de formes différentes qui peuvent être aisément assemblées ou séparées. De tels sièges sont notamment divulgués dans les documents brevets suivants : DE 197 00 608 A1 , US 2003/0107255 A1, US 2005/0006943 A1, US 2012/0187737 A1. There are several variations of seats formed from a set of differently shaped pieces that can be easily assembled or separated. Such seats are in particular disclosed in the following patent documents: DE 197 00 608 A1, US 2003/0107255 A1, US 2005/0006943 A1, US 2012/0187737 A1.
Bien que les sièges précités offrent de nombreux avantages, en particulier celui d’être aisément transportés (en pièces détachées) d’un lieu à l’autre, ils présentent cependant plusieurs inconvénients, parmi lesquels la dimension parfois importante (donc encombrante) de certaines pièces, le nombre relativement élevé de pièces de formes différentes et la difficulté, voire l’impossibilité, de réaliser diverses variantes du siège avec un ensemble donné de pièces. Although the aforementioned seats offer many advantages, in particular that of being easily transported (in spare parts) from one place to another, they nevertheless have several drawbacks, among which the sometimes large (and therefore cumbersome) size of some parts, the relatively large number of parts of different shapes and the difficulty, if not the impossibility, of making various variations of the seat with a given set of parts.
Description générale de l’invention La présente invention offre notamment l’avantage de remédier aux inconvénients décrits dans le chapitre précédent. General description of the invention The present invention offers in particular the advantage of overcoming the drawbacks described in the previous chapter.
A cet effet, elle concerne un siège comprenant un cadre modulaire. Chaque module se présente sous la forme d’une poutre dont au moins une extrémité comporte une entaille destinée à recevoir une partie d’un autre module. Dans le présent document, par « cadre » on entend la partie du siège qui comprend tous les éléments formant les bords latéraux du siège. Un cadre au sens de l’invention peut donc inclure un dossier ou des appuie-bras. En revanche, l’assise ne fait pas partie du cadre. To this end, it relates to a seat comprising a modular frame. Each module is in the form of a beam, at least one end of which has a notch intended to receive a part of another module. In the present document, by “frame” is meant the part of the seat which includes all the elements forming the lateral edges of the seat. A frame within the meaning of the invention can therefore include a backrest or armrests. However, the seat is not part of the frame.
De préférence, chaque entaille d’un module est destinée à recevoir l’entaille d’un autre module, ce qui a pour avantage de fixer encore plus efficacement les 2 poutres adjacentes. Preferably, each notch of a module is intended to receive the notch of another module, which has the advantage of fixing the 2 adjacent beams even more effectively.
Selon une variante de l’invention, le siège comprend un dossier constitué de plusieurs modules superposés et légèrement décalés, de sorte à former un dossier incliné. According to a variant of the invention, the seat comprises a backrest made up of several superimposed and slightly offset modules, so as to form an inclined backrest.
Selon une autre variante de l’invention, le siège comprend des appuie-bras constitués de plusieurs modules superposés et légèrement décalés, de sorte à former des appuie-bras inclinés. According to another variant of the invention, the seat comprises armrests made up of several superimposed and slightly offset modules, so as to form inclined armrests.
La section des poutres est de préférence rectangulaire, ce qui assure une fixation inter-poutre optimale. Il est toutefois possible d’utiliser d’autres formes de section de poutre, p.ex. triangulaire ou circulaire. The section of the beams is preferably rectangular, which ensures optimum inter-beam fixing. However, it is possible to use other shapes of beam section, eg triangular or circular.
Comme indiqué précédemment, chaque poutre comporte au moins une entaille, p.ex. de section rectangulaire, disposée vers une extrémité de la poutre. As indicated above, each beam has at least one notch, eg of rectangular section, disposed towards one end of the beam.
Chaque poutre peut également comporter une deuxième entaille disposée vers l’autre extrémité de la poutre. Each beam may also have a second notch disposed towards the other end of the beam.
La deuxième entaille peut également être disposée dans un endroit quelconque de la poutre, p.ex. au milieu. The second notch can also be arranged anywhere on the beam, eg in the middle.
Une poutre en outre comporte plus de deux entailles. A beam also has more than two notches.
Tout matériau adapté à l’usage peut être utilisé pour les modules, particulièrement le bois. Le siège selon l’invention peut être un canapé, un fauteuil, une chaise ou un tabouret. Description détaillée de l’invention Any material suitable for the purpose can be used for the modules, especially wood. The seat according to the invention can be a sofa, an armchair, a chair or a stool. Detailed description of the invention
L’invention est décrite de manière plus détaillée dans ce chapitre, notamment au moyen d’exemples et de figures qui sont brièvement résumées comme suit : Figure 1: Représentation de deux types de module pour la construction d’un canapé selon l’invention. The invention is described in more detail in this chapter, in particular by means of examples and figures which are briefly summarized as follows: Figure 1: Representation of two types of module for the construction of a sofa according to the invention.

13. Dossier La figure 1 représente deux types de module se présentant chacun sous la forme d’une poutre de section rectangulaire 4. La poutre de type I 1 présente une seule entaille 3, disposée vers l’une de ses extrémités, dont la largeur de la section est sensiblement égale à la section de la poutre destinée à se loger dans l’entaille 3. La poutre de type II 2 présente une entaille 3 vers chaque extrémité. 13. File Figure 1 shows two types of module each in the form of a rectangular section beam 4. Type I beam 1 has a single notch 3, disposed towards one of its ends, the width of the section is substantially equal to the section of the beam intended to be housed in the notch 3. The type II beam 2 has a notch 3 towards each end.
La fixation entre deux poutres 1,2 est réalisée le plus souvent en les plaçant perpendiculairement l’une par rapport à l’autre, par emboîtement d’une entaille 3 dans une autre entaille 3. The fixing between two beams 1, 2 is most often carried out by placing them perpendicular to each other, by interlocking a notch 3 in another notch 3.
Le canapé de la figure 2 est réalisée au moyen de plusieurs types de poutre. Le cadre de base 6 du canapé est formé de deux types de poutre, le dossier 13 de quatre poutres de longueurs différentes et superposées de manière décalée, formant de la sorte un dossier incliné. Une construction similaire est appliquée pour les appuie-bras 7. Une tablette 12 formée de deux poutres est fixée à la poutre d’un appuie-bras 7. Une assise 5 formée d’un ensemble de coussins carrés est disposée sur un support d’assise 8 (voir figures 5 et 6). The sofa in figure 2 is made by means of several types of beam. The base frame 6 of the sofa is formed of two types of beam, the backrest 13 of four beams of different lengths and superimposed in an offset manner, thereby forming an inclined backrest. A similar construction is applied for the armrests 7. A shelf 12 formed of two beams is attached to the beam of an armrest 7. A seat 5 formed of a set of square cushions is disposed on a support of. seat 8 (see figures 5 and 6).
Les figures 3 et 4 présentent une variante du canapé selon l’invention. Figures 3 and 4 show a variant of the sofa according to the invention.
Selon la variante illustrée sur les figures 5 à 7, le support d’assise 8 est rabattable au moyen d’un vérin 10 et d’une poignée 9. Cette variante présente l’avantage d’offrir un espace de rangement sous l’assise 5. According to the variant illustrated in Figures 5 to 7, the seat support 8 is foldable by means of a jack 10 and a handle 9. This variant has the advantage of offering storage space under the seat. 5.
Cette même variante comprend une station de recharge 11 qui est encastrée dans la poutre d’un appuie-bras 7. This same variant includes a charging station 11 which is embedded in the beam of an armrest 7.
Il va de soi que l’invention ne se limite pas aux exemples illustrés. Comme indiqué, le siège ne possède pas forcément un dossier. Et si c’est le cas, le dossier n’est pas nécessairement incliné. Il est également possible d’avoir un cadre de base réalisé selon l’invention, c’est-à-dire au moyen d’un ensemble de modules identiques, et un dossier ou des appuie-bras réalisés au moyen d’une pièce unique. De même, bien que l’on privilégie un faible nombre de modules de formes différentes, il est parfaitement envisageable d’utiliser des poutres de sections différentes, p.ex. d’une certaine forme pour les modules du cadre de base et d’une autre forme pour les modules du dossier. It goes without saying that the invention is not limited to the examples illustrated. As indicated, the seat does not necessarily have a backrest. And if so, the backrest is not necessarily tilted. It is also possible to have a basic frame made according to the invention, that is to say by means of a set of identical modules, and a backrest or armrests made by means of a single piece. . Likewise, although a small number of modules of different shapes are preferred, it is perfectly conceivable to use beams of different sections, eg of a certain shape for the modules of the base frame and of the base frame. another form for the modules of the folder.
