Definitions
- the present invention refers to a lounger of the type having a light-weight structure, which can be piled up and which is weather resistent and usable as a sun-chair and for relaxation.
- the new lounger is of the kind constituted by a framing made from a thermoformable synthetic resin of great mechanical strength, reinforced in some of its parts and adapted to receive the connection of a piece of cloth onto which the user may directly sit down, said coupling being adapted to support said cloth by means of some slat members onto which a pad may eventually be disposed.
- the design of the new lounger is of a manner that the production thereof may be performed economically, and for this purpose the framing of the lounger is made from two parts which may be coupled together and which are produced separately each by an injection moulding process of thermoplastic material.
- the coupling of the two parts is effected by a simple system of insert elements located in seat openings, thereby obtaining a great rigidity of the resulting structure.
- the framing is reinforced by armatures attached to the two associated parts and providing strength to support the respective part, preventing the undesired separation of the supporting legs.
- the latter each comprise wear resistant garnishments at the portions thereof contacting ground.
- the new lounger is embodied in a single piece basic version and in a version having a back-rest with adjustable inclination.
- This second version provides great comfort to the user, permitting the selection of different positions of the subject furniture, effecting the adjustment of the back-rest by means of a simple and practical system.
- the lounger may be equipped with a sunblind for providing shadow to the head of the user.
- the lounger may be embodied in an adults' size version and in a childrens' size version, differing from one another by the length of the coupled longitudinal bars.
- the described lounger comprises a framing constituted by a rectangular oblong frame forming the upper part and comprising cross bars and, at its external end portions, four legs of angular design, resting on ground at their portions corresponding to the vertices.
- the linkage of the longitudinal bars of the upper frame is established by the middle portions of same, and the frame, at one of its ends, is forming a head portion defined by an inclination of the end portion 7,8 of each of its longitudinal bars.
- the longitudinal bars of the frame of the framing are at their inner edges 12 perfectly linear and parallel, adapted to receive the connection of transversal slat members 13 of oblong rectangular and curved configuration which function as supporting elements and are provided with connection and retention ribs at their ends. Said slat members are precisely affixed by adjacently positioning said ribs and edges in correspondence.
- the sides of said frame formed by the framing have openings 14 at their inner edges designated to receive elastic holding cords of a rectangular and longitudinal piece of resistant, plastified and porous cloth, in which case the slat members 13 are evidently missing. Said cloth is permanently tensioned due to the elasticity of the holding cords.
- the slat members 13 may be disposed individually or also, in contrary, in groups forming oblong rectangles equivalent to approximately a half or a third part of the linear major portion of the supports, whereas the minor portion, which forms the inclination of the head portion, comprises at its turn the other group of slat members or also the end of the supporting cloth piece.
- the structure of the framing is reinforced by means of two metallic armatures in the shape of a "U" which, for example, are made from a suitably formed tube and which affect the cross bars 3 and 4 and the corresponding downwardly extending portions of the supporting legs 5 and 6 close to said cross bars, and by means of interior rods located within said longitudinal bars.
- the angular legs 5 and 6 further are reinforced by means of metallic garnishments 15 applied to the ground contact regions thereof and secured there, for example, by means of screws in order to protect said legs against wear by friction on ground, see figure 6.
- An improved embodiment of the described lounger comprises a tiltable and removable back-rest of adjustable inclination, constituted by a support 16 in shape of a rectangular "U" pivotally mounted by the ends of its parallel arms 17 and 18 at symmetric locations of the longitudinal bars of the framing, providing the connection e.g. by simple pivot mechanisms located in a cylindric recess.
- the parallel arms of the support form at their portions proximate said pivot connection a bend of obtuse angle in the regions 19 and 20.
- the cross bar 21 reinforces the support near the location of the pivot connection.
- the desired inclination of the support of the back-rest is fixed by means of a rectangular frame 22 pivotally mounted by its upper vertices 23 and 24 at the tiltable supporting arms which are supported by their lower vertices provided with pins 25 and 26 at opposite sides and by recesses 27 and 28 symmetrically disposed in the arms of fittings 29 affixed to the longitudinal bars of the framing, see figures 5 and 10.
- the tiltable support 16 is provided with respective openings 30 and 31 adapted to permit the insertion of two holders 40,41 of a sun-shield framing 43 in form of a frame covered by a resistant cloth 44, as seen in figures 5, 11 and 12.
- the openings 32 and 33 at the ends of the longitudinal bars 34 and 35 are adapted to receive the legs of said holders.
- connection between the inclineable frame 16 and its support 22 permitting the adjustment of the inclination thereof is provided according to figure 8 symmetrically by means of articulations 23,36 and 24,37 or also by studs 36 and 37 according to figure 10 which are engaged by the extensions 23 and 24 of the frame in form of bifurcations according to said figure 10.
- the inclination of the blind or sun-shield may be varied according to figure 12 by articulation of the holder 40 of each side with the frame of the sun-shield to which an oblique strut 42 is pivotally connected as well which is integral with a sleeve 50 slidably mounted on said holder.
- the openings 45 in the central part of the piece serve functions similar to those in the other arms of the framing.
- the protrusions 46 and 47, 48 and 49 at the ends of the tiltable frame 16 can be inserted into matching recesses provided in the longitudinal bars of the framing in order to fix the position of the tiltable element, as can be seen in figure 13.
- one of the parts presents at both of its ends protrusions 38 in form of flat extensions matching with recesses 39 provided in the other part so that the connections so established promote the coupling and prevent an undesired separation of the associated parts.
