Description

BALANCELLE PLIANTE. FOLDING SWING.
L'invention se rattache au secteur technique de l'ameublement de jardins, et plus particulièrement aux balancelles.The invention relates to the technical sector of garden furniture, and more particularly to swings.
Dans le cadre de I' agrément des jardins, des parcs ou zones de repos, on utilise couramment des balancelles qui permettent à deux ou trois personnes ou quelquefois plus de se reposer et de se détendre.In the framework of the approval of gardens, parks or rest areas, swings are commonly used which allow two or three or sometimes more people to rest and relax.
Les balancelles connues telles que représentées figure 1 , sont réalisées avec une armature comprenant généralement deux pietements latéraux de forme triangulaire, solidarisés à leur partie haute et pouvant recevoir à articulation un chapiteau orientable recouvert de tissu. Des entretoises relient les pietements pour assurer une stabilité.The known swings as shown in Figure 1, are made with a frame generally comprising two lateral legs of triangular shape, secured at their upper part and can receive at articulation an adjustable marquee covered with fabric. Spacers connect the legs to ensure stability.
La balancelle ainsi conçue reçoit une armature formant siège susceptible de recevoir des coussins ou autre garniture matelassée. Cette armature peut être en une ou deux parties, avec sa partie dosseret et sa partie assise. Le dosseret se trouve généralement dans un plan incliné de l'ordre de 100 à 120° par rapport au plan de l'assise pour assurer un bon confort du ou des utilisateurs.The swing thus designed receives a seat frame capable of receiving cushions or other quilted lining. This frame can be in one or two parts, with its backsplash part and its seat part. The backsplash is generally in an inclined plane of the order of 100 to 120 ° relative to the plane of the seat to ensure good comfort for the user (s).
Il arrive que la partie dosseret puisse être légèrement réglable en position par rapport au plan de l'assise, à l'aide par exemple de moyens du type chainettes et axes de liaison permettant une variation appropriée selon les besoins. Ce type de balancelle présente cependant des inconvénients, notamment dans le cadre de son rangement et de son encombrement. En cas de non utilisation et de stockage dans des garages ou autres lieux similaires, ce type de balancelle est gênant. Par ailleurs, les utilisateurs ont tendance à considérer la zone d'assise comme une zone de rangement complémentaire provisoire pour des articles les plus divers, de sorte que les risques de salissures des tissus de couverture sont importants, ce qui peut nuire à la présentation et donc à l'esthétique de la balancelle.It sometimes happens that the backrest part can be slightly adjustable in position relative to the plane of the seat, using for example means of the chain type and connecting pins allowing an appropriate variation as required. This type of swing, however, has drawbacks, especially in terms of its storage and space. If not used and stored in garages or other similar places, this type of swing is inconvenient. In addition, users tend to consider the seating area as a temporary additional storage area for a wide variety of items, so that the risk of soiling of the cover fabrics is significant, which can affect the presentation and therefore to the aesthetics of the swing.
On observe également que le déplacement de ces balancelles ne peut s'effectuer qu'à l'aide de deux personnes compte tenu de l'encombrement du montage. C'est la raison pour laquelle les utilisateurs laissent à demeure les balancelles qui se trouvent dans un environnement pouvant être nuisible à leur qualité et leur esthétique. L'humidité, la pluie, les déchets végétaux volatils sont sources de salissures, de moisissures, de détérioration des couleurs, ce qui diminue l'aspect attrayant de tels meubles de jardin.It is also observed that the movement of these swings can only be carried out with the aid of two people, taking into account the size of the assembly. This is the reason why users permanently leave the swinging chairs which are in an environment which could be detrimental to their quality and aesthetics. Moisture, rain, volatile plant waste are sources of soiling, mold, color deterioration, which decreases the attractive appearance of such garden furniture.
L'objet de l'invention était donc de remédier à ces inconvénients en proposant une nouvelle conception de balancelle pliante, de fabrication et de montage simple, de faible encombrement, et pouvant être aisément transportés par une seule personne.The object of the invention was therefore to overcome these drawbacks by proposing a new design of folding swing, simple to manufacture and assemble, compact, and which can be easily transported by a single person.
Un autre but recherché était de concevoir sur une telle balancelle une nouvelle conception de l'assise qui offre un autre confort.Another sought-after goal was to design on such a swing a new design of the seat which offers another comfort.
Selon une première caractéristique de l'invention, la balancelle est remarquable :According to a first characteristic of the invention, the swing is remarkable:
- en ce qu'elle comprend un cadre rectangulaire agencé avec des éléments tubulaires constituant les côtés longitudinaux et horizontaux en définissant une zone d'appui au sol et une zone supérieure de l'articulation d'un chapiteau ; - et en ce que les extrémités recourbées des éléments permettent l'engagement et la mise en rotation de tubes intermédiaires pour constituer ensemble les côtés latéraux et transversaux du cadre,- In that it comprises a rectangular frame arranged with tubular elements constituting the longitudinal and horizontal sides by defining a support zone on the ground and an upper zone of the articulation of a marquee; - and in that the curved ends of the elements allow the engagement and the rotation of intermediate tubes to together constitute the lateral and transverse sides of the frame,
- et en ce que des éléments profilés en L sont rapportés et fixés par rapport aux tubes intermédiaires par une partie de liaison tandis que les pietements se prolongent par des parties d'appui au sol ;- And in that L-shaped elements are attached and fixed relative to the intermediate tubes by a connecting part while the legs are extended by support parts on the ground;
- et en ce que la partie d'assise est constituée par une armature tubulaire rectangulaire pivotante par rapport à des bras supports profilés en L mis en suspension par rapport au cadre, ladite partie d'assise ayant un mouvement de pivotement limité par rapport aux bras, ladite partie d'assise recevant une toile ou similaire formant hamac.- And in that the seat part is constituted by a rectangular tubular frame pivoting with respect to L-shaped support arms suspended in relation to the frame, said seat part having a limited pivoting movement with respect to the arms , said seat part receiving a canvas or the like forming a hammock.
Ces buts et d'autres encore ressortiront bien de la suite de la description. Pour fixer l'objet de l'invention illustre d'une manière non limitative aux figures des dessins où :These and other objects will become apparent from the following description. To fix the subject of the invention illustrates in a nonlimiting manner the figures of the drawings where:

Figure 6 is a partial sectional view illustrating the pivoting connection of the front base relative to the frame or main frame of the swing.
Afin de rendre plus concret l'objet de l'invention, on le décrit maintenant d'une manière non limitative illustrée aux figures des dessins.In order to make the object of the invention more concrete, it is now described in a nonlimiting manner illustrated in the figures of the drawings.
La balancelle selon l'invention est référencée dans son ensemble par (1). Elle comprend un cadre rectangulaire (2) correspondant sensiblement à la longueur de la balancelle souhaitée et à la hauteur souhaitée de son chapiteau (C). Ce cadre est composé d'éléments (2.1 ) et (2.2) tubulaires constituant les côtés longitudinaux et horizontaux en définissant une zone d'appui (2.1. a) au sol et une zone supérieure (2.1.b) pour l'articulation du chapiteau. Chacun de ces éléments (2.1,2.2) de grande longueur présente des ailes d'extrémités recourbées (2.1.c ou 2.2.c) orientées à 90° l'une par rapport à l'autre, et définissant des zones d'embranchement des côtés latéraux. Ces éléments sont disposés à une certaine distance les uns des autres et vont permettre l'adaptation de tubes intermédiaires (3) complétant les côtés latéraux et transversaux, ces tubes recevant en bout d'extrémité des manchons (3.1) susceptibles de pénétrer à l'intérieur des ailes recourbées des côtés longitudinaux (2.1 , 2.2). Après emmanchement, les tubes intermédiaires viennent en butée contre les chants en regard desdites ailes.The swing according to the invention is referenced as a whole by (1). It comprises a rectangular frame (2) corresponding substantially to the length of the desired swing and the desired height of its marquee (C). This frame is composed of tubular elements (2.1) and (2.2) constituting the longitudinal and horizontal sides by defining a support zone (2.1. A) on the ground and an upper zone (2.1.b) for the articulation of the marquee. . Each of these elements (2.1,2.2) of great length has curved end wings (2.1.c or 2.2.c) oriented at 90 ° relative to each other, and defining zones of branching of the lateral sides. These elements are arranged at a certain distance from each other and will allow the adaptation of intermediate tubes (3) completing the lateral and transverse sides, these tubes receiving at the end of the sleeves (3.1) capable of penetrating the inside of the curved wings of the longitudinal sides (2.1, 2.2). After fitting, the intermediate tubes abut against the edges facing said wings.
On obtient ainsi un montage libre et pivotant des tubes (3) par rapport aux côtés longitudinaux (2) et des ailes (2.1.c, 2.2.C).One thus obtains a free and pivoting mounting of the tubes (3) relative to the longitudinal sides (2) and of the wings (2.1.c, 2.2.C).
Pour assurer la stabilité du cadre principal (2) ainsi conçu, sont disposés et fixés des pietements profilés (4) en L, dont une partie (4.1) est fixée par vissage, boulonnage (5) ou équivalent aux tubes intermédiaires (3) montés latéralement sur le cadre. Chaque profilé (4) présente dans sa partie inférieure un bras (4.2) de grande longueur situé dans un plan angulaire par rapport au cadre en constituant le plan d'appui de l'ensemble, la partie d'extrémité (4.3) étant courbée pour venir en contact avec le sol.To ensure the stability of the main frame (2) thus designed, are arranged and fixed L-shaped legs (4), part of which (4.1) is fixed by screwing, bolting (5) or equivalent to the intermediate tubes (3) mounted laterally on the frame. Each profile (4) has in its lower part an arm (4.2) of great length situated in an angular plane relative to the frame by constituting the support plane of the assembly, the part end (4.3) being curved to come into contact with the ground.
Ainsi, la balancelle est mise en stabilité lorsque le cadre vient en appui au sol et lorsque les pietements profilés latéraux sont ouverts en constituant une zone d'appui en trois points. Les pietements profilés peuvent ainsi pivoter sur 90° par rapport aux côtés latéraux du cadre (2) en étant soit déployés ouverts à 90°, soit pivoter en se situant dans le plan intérieur du cadre.Thus, the swing is stabilized when the frame comes to rest on the ground and when the lateral profiled legs are open, constituting a support area at three points. The profiled legs can thus pivot 90 ° with respect to the lateral sides of the frame (2), either being deployed open at 90 °, or pivot while lying in the interior plane of the frame.
La partie d'assise (6) est avantageusement constituée par une armature tubulaire rectangulaire avec des angles coudés en arrondi (6.1), cette armature étant réalisée pour s'intégrer dans le volume intérieur du cadre de la balancelle. Cette armature est maintenue en position en étant suspendue par des bras (7) profilés en L, dont l'extrémité supérieure (7.1 ) est accrochée en suôpension à l'aide de moyens de rappel (8) au côté longitudinal supérieurThe seat part (6) is advantageously constituted by a rectangular tubular frame with rounded bent angles (6.1), this frame being made to fit into the interior volume of the frame of the swing. This frame is held in position by being suspended by arms (7) L-shaped, the upper end (7.1) of which is hung in suspension by means of return means (8) on the upper longitudinal side.
(2.2) du cadre (2). Les bras dans leur partie avant (7.2), se situent en situation normale d'utilisation de la balancelle dans le même plan que l'armature formant assise (6).(2.2) of the frame (2). The arms in their front part (7.2) are in the normal situation of use of the swing in the same plane as the seat frame (6).
L'armature formant assise est articulée par rapport à la partie (7.2) du bras de suspension (7) par rapport à un axe de rotation (9) et dans une limite de basculement donnée. Plus particulièrement, il est prévu de disposer sur les côtés transversaux de l'armature d'assise (6) des pattes (10) profilées venant en débordement extérieur, pour venir en appui soit contre la partie supérieure avant du bras porteur (7.2), soit contre la partie arrière verticale (7.1 ) de suspension du bras porteur. Ces pattes sont rapportées de toute manière appropriée et permettent une limitatation du débattement angulaire de l'armature formant siège.The seat frame is articulated with respect to the part (7.2) of the suspension arm (7) with respect to an axis of rotation (9) and within a given tilting limit. More particularly, provision is made to have, on the transverse sides of the seat frame (6), profiled tabs (10) coming into external overflow, to come to bear either against the upper front part of the support arm (7.2) either against the vertical rear part (7.1) of suspension of the support arm. These tabs are attached in any suitable manner and allow a limitation of the angular movement of the seat frame.
Cette dernière de par sa forme, est agencée pour recevoir une garniture en tjssu ou autres matériaux (11), en constituant ainsi un hamac. Cette garniture peut être fixée de toute manière appropriée pour être enlevée si nécessaire en vue de son nettoyage ou son changement. La largeur de tissu utilisée définit la profondeur de l'assise.The latter by its shape, is arranged to receive a lining in tj ssu or other materials (11), thereby constituting a hammock. This garnish can be fixed in any suitable way to be removed if necessary for cleaning or changing. The width of fabric used defines the depth of the seat.
Pour assurer une bonne tenue de l'ensemble, il peut être rapporté des entretoises de liaison (12) entre la partie inférieure de l'encadrement et le piètement. De manière particulière, ces entretoises sont fixées à la partie pivotante des tubes intermédiaires (3), de sorte qu'elles accompagnent dans leur mouvement les pietements lors du repliage de la balancelle.To ensure good performance of the assembly, connecting spacers (12) can be added between the lower part of the frame and the base. In particular, these spacers are fixed to the pivoting part of the intermediate tubes (3), so that they accompany in their movement the legs during the folding of the swing.
Dans sa partie supérieure, le cadre permet le positionnement à articulation d'un chapiteau (C) recouvert d'un tissu ou autre élément de protection et à caractère décoratif.In its upper part, the frame allows the articulated positioning of a marquee (C) covered with a fabric or other protective element and decorative in nature.
Il convient maintenant d'exposer les modalités d'utilisation de ce type de balancelle. En position d'utilisation, elle se présente dans la configuration de la figure 2. En vue de son pliage, on relève tout d'abord l'armature support formant siège (6) jusqu'à ce que les pattes latérales (10) viennent en butée contre la partie verticale ou sensiblement du bras de suspension (7). On procède ensuite au pivotement des pietements latéraux (4), qui entraîne simultanément la rotation des tubes intermédiaires (3) du cadre, jusqu'à ce que les pietements viennent dans un plan sensiblement sous-jacent au volume intérieur du cadre. Par cet effet de rotation, ils viennent alors bloquer en position l'armature formant assise. On procède ensuite au basculement du chapiteau.It is now necessary to explain the methods of using this type of swing. In the position of use, it is in the configuration of FIG. 2. With a view to folding it, the support frame forming the seat (6) is first raised until the lateral tabs (10) come in abutment against the vertical part or substantially of the suspension arm (7). One then proceeds to pivot the lateral legs (4), which simultaneously causes the rotation of the intermediate tubes (3) of the frame, until the legs come in a plane substantially underlying the interior volume of the frame. By this rotation effect, they then block in position the seat frame. The tent is then tilted.
L'articulation des pietements entraîne également le mouvement accompagnant des traverses de liaison, ce qui confère la rigidité à l'ensemble. Les avantages ressortent bien de l'invention et on souligne notamment la simplicité d'un montage et d'un démontage de la balancelle, son très faible encombrement, son coût de revient peu élevé, et le nouveau type d'assise en hamac offrant une originalité par rapport à l'art antérieur. On souligne également la facilité de transport par une personne qui peut saisir la balancelle pliée à divers endroits et notamment son cadre d'assise pour le transporter. The articulation of the legs also causes the movement accompanying the connecting crosspieces, which gives rigidity to the whole. The advantages emerge clearly from the invention and in particular the simplicity of mounting and dismounting the swing, its very small size, its low cost price, and the new type of seat in hammock are emphasized. originality compared to the prior art. The ease of transport is also emphasized by a person who can grasp the folded swing in various places and in particular its seat frame for transporting it.
