Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a chair.
- Known kinds of chairs are currently used being usually constituted by a supporting frame for a seat that is optionally provided with a backrest and/or with armrests.
- The frame and the seat are preferably interconnected by riveting or bolting or by way of the interconnection of screws that pass through the seat to be associated in complementarily shaped holes formed in the frame.
- Such known types of chairs, however, have the drawback that they require, for their assembly, the use of riveting machines or at least of personnel specialized in performing the assembly and interconnection of parts by way of the above cited known kinds of mechanical means.
- Accordingly, these assembly operations are performed directly during production, so that the end product is the complete chair ready for use.
- This known kind of chair, preassembled directly at the factory, has the drawback of being very bulky, thus causing the operations for storing and transporting it to be difficult and onerous.
- As a partial remedy, chairs are known which are provided so that they can be stacked together, thus allowing a considerable reduction in bulk.
- However, this constructive solution has the drawback of entailing a considerable limitation of the creative possibilities of the engineer and designer, since the aesthetic appearance of the chair becomes subordinate to the need for it to be stackable; moreover, the dimensions still remain significant.
- The aim of the present invention is to solve the above-noted technical problems, eliminating the drawbacks of the cited prior art, by providing a chair that allows an easy and quick interconnection between the seat and the frame that does not require the availability of any kind of machine.
- Within this aim, an object of the invention is to provide a chair that allows optimum storage and transport from the point of production to the point of distribution or sale.
- Another object is to reduce the production costs of said chairs by reducing both the number of machines used and the use of labor.
- Another object is to provide a chair that allows adjustment of the mutual position of the frame and the seat, ensuring that the user can customize the chair.
- Another object is to provide a chair that is structurally simple and has low manufacturing costs.
- This aim and these and other objects that will become better apparent hereinafter are achieved by a chair, comprising a frame for supporting a seat and/or a backrest, characterized in that said frame is provided with means for sliding coupling to complementarily shaped means formed below said seat.
- Advantageously, there are additional means for locking said seat in a chosen position with respect to said frame.
- Conveniently, there are stroke limiting means for positioning said seat with respect to said frame.
- Further characteristics and advantages of the invention will become better apparent from the following detailed description of a particular embodiment thereof, illustrated only by way of non-limitative example in the accompanying drawings, wherein:
- Figure 1 is a bottom view of the chair according to the invention;
- Figure 2 is a partially sectional front view of the chair of Figure 1;
- Figure 3 is an exploded bottom perspective view of the chair;
- Figures 4 and 5 are perspective views of two details of Figure 3;
- Figure 6 is a perspective view of a second embodiment of the frame of the chair.
-
- With reference to the figures, the reference numeral 1 designates a chair that comprises a frame, designated by the
reference numeral 2, that is advantageously made of a metallic material that is advantageously tubular and has, in this embodiment, fourlegs 3 that protrude downward. - The legs are advantageously mutually associated or rigidly coupled by two
transverse elements 4a and by two longitudinal elements, designated by thereference numeral 4b, which constitute a quadrilateral that is arranged on an approximately horizontal plane. - The
frame 2 acts as a support for a seat, designated by thereference numeral 5, with which abackrest 6 and/or two armrests, not shown in the figure, are optionally associated. - Two approximately
rectangular wings 7 protrude externally from the pair oflongitudinal elements 4b of theframe 2 and constitute means for sliding coupling to complementarily shaped means formed below saidseat 5. - The complementarily shaped means are advantageously constituted by a pair of
receptacles 8 formed by the interspaces between the lower surface of theseat 5 and twotabs 9 that protrude from it so as to lie approximately parallel to theseat 5. - The
tabs 9 are associated, or obtained monolithically, with the seat at at least one edge, designated by thereference numeral 10a. - In the example shown in the figures, the
tabs 9 have afirst edge 10a and asecond edge 10b, which are contiguous and provide a connection to theseat 5, so that thesecond edge 10b constitutes stroke limiting means for the sliding of the pair ofwings 7 in therespective seats 8. - The pair of
wings 7 advantageously has first holes, designated by thereference numeral 11, which are preferably threaded for the optional interconnection of screws, not shown, that pass throughslots 12a or second holes 12b formed in thetabs 9. - Advantageously, there are also means suitable to facilitate unidirectional sliding, such as for
example lugs 13 that protrude obliquely from the lower surfaces of the twowings 7 and can be optionally associated within said second holes 12b. - With reference to Figure 3, it is noted that it is possible to fit the seat on the frame easily and very rapidly: this assembly does not require special knowledge or skills and therefore can optionally be performed even by the user.
- This allows to ship the chairs in a disassembled condition, so that they occupy a very small space by being constituted by a frame and a seat (with or without a backrest) that can be stacked separately on other frames and seats.
- The sliding and interlocking connection further allows to save on the cost of the mechanical means that are normally used, particularly avoiding the use of screws and rivets.
- Nonetheless, it is possible to use for example screws for the connection of the
wings 7 of the frame to thetabs 9. - It has thus been observed that the chair of the invention has achieved the intended aim and objects, a chair having been provided that allows to assemble the seat and the frame rapidly and simply, so as to allow to perform the interconnection once the components have been transported to the points of distribution or sale.
- In this manner one reduces not only production costs but also storage and shipping costs.
- Figure 6 illustrates a different embodiment of the invention, in which the
reference numeral 101 designates a chair that comprises aframe 102 suitable to act as a support for a seat, designated by thereference numeral 105, with which abackrest 106 and/or two armrests, not shown in the figure, are optionally associated. - The
frame 102 is advantageously constituted by aplate 120, which is approximately rectangular and is provided with interconnection means 121 for one or more ground resting legs, which are not shown. - The interconnection means 121 are constituted, for example, by a hole that is suitable for interconnection for example with a pin, not shown, that is in turn associated in a lower region with said one or more legs.
- The
plate 120 is provided laterally with two longitudinal edges, designated by thereference numeral 104b, from which two approximatelyrectangular wings 107 protrude to constitute means for sliding coupling to complementarily shaped means formed under theseat 105. - The complementarily shaped means are advantageously constituted by two
receptacles 108 formed by the interspaces provided between the lower surface of theseat 105 and twotabs 109 that protrude from the seat so as to lie approximately parallel to theseat 105. - This embodiment achieves the same advantages as the preceding one.
- The materials used, as well as the dimensions that constitute the individual components of the chair of the invention, may of course be more pertinent according to specific requirements.
- The disclosures in San Marinese Patent Application No. SM-A-200100015 from which this application claims priority are incorporated herein by reference.
- Where technical features mentioned in any claim are followed by reference signs, those reference signs have been included for the sole purpose of increasing the intelligibility of the claims and accordingly, such reference signs do not have any limiting effect on the interpretation of each element identified by way of example by such reference signs.
