Abstract

The invention relates to a sofa of a novel shape that can be converted into a circular bed. It consists of a backrest A and two armrests C, C' which drop horizontally relative to the seat B in order to provide the first circular part of the bed, and a base in three parts D, E, F with hinges between D and E and between E and F, of a shape such that when D, E and F are flat, they form the second part of the bed. The two portions are hinged between B and D in order to form the complete bed. The associated legs G and G' stabilise the assembly in the sofa form. This sofa is intended for circular bed enthusiasts having the normal amount of floor space in their home and for people who like contemporary furniture.

Description

DESCRIPTION
La présente invention concerne un canapé qui de par sa forme originale,peut être transformé en un lit de forme ronde.
DESCRIPTION
The present invention relates to a sofa which by its original shape can be transformed into a round shaped bed.

En raison de la surface assez restreinte des pièces de l'habitat contemporain,l'utilisation d'un lit de forme ronde pour deux personnes sans nuire à l'aisance de déplacement dans celles-ci était généralement impossible. Because of the rather small surface of the rooms of the contemporary habitat, the use of a round shaped bed for two people without affecting the ease of movement in these was generally impossible.

Le dispositif de transformation d'un canapé se -lon l'invention permet de remédier à cet état de fait. The device for transforming a sofa according to the invention makes it possible to remedy this state of affairs.

I1 comporte selon une première caractéristique un ensemble formé par deux manchettes (C,C'),un dossier(A) et un siège (B) de formes étudiées à ce qu'en position horizontale ils forment une première partie ronde du lit. I1 comprises, according to a first characteristic, an assembly formed by two cuffs (C, C '), a backrest (A) and a seat (B) of shapes studied so that in the horizontal position they form a first round part of the bed.

En deuxième caractéristique,un ensemble de socles articu -lés (D,E,F),venant compléter la portion manquante du dis -que pour obtenir le lit.As a second characteristic, a set of articulated plinths (D, E, F), completing the missing portion of the disc to obtain the bed.

Une articulation entre ces deux sous ensembles permet de former la partie ronde. An articulation between these two subassemblies makes it possible to form the round part.

Deux pieds rétractables (G,G') en forme d'arc de de la circonférence du lit qui viennent soulager le meuble en version canapé. Two retractable feet (G, G ') in the shape of an arc of the circumference of the bed which come to relieve the furniture in sofa version.

Les dessins annexés illustrent l'invention:
La figure (1) représente le meuble en version canapé, vue de face.
The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention:
Figure (1) shows the sofa version of the furniture, front view.

Les figures (2,3,4,5) représentent schématiquement le meuble en vue de côté,lors des manipulations de transfor -mation,les articulations étant représentées par des cer -cles. The figures (2,3,4,5) schematically represent the piece of furniture in side view, during manipulation of transformation, the articulations being represented by circles.

La figure (6) représente en simplifié les différents éléments du lit une fois déplié. Figure (6) shows in simplified form the different elements of the bed once unfolded.

En référence à ces dessins,le canapé comporte: -Deux manchettes (C,C') articulées au siège (B) par l'in -termédiaire de charnières verrouillables en position haute et d'un dossier (A) articulé au siège (B) servant de butée aux manchettes (C,C').  With reference to these drawings, the sofa comprises: -Two cuffs (C, C ') articulated at the seat (B) by means of hinges lockable in the high position and a backrest (A) articulated at the seat (B ) serving as a stop for the cuffs (C, C ').

Les manchettes sont plus étroites que le siège (B) afin de libérer un espace de sécurité pour les mains lors des manipulations de déploiement.La forme des extrémités du dossier correspond à l'angle d'ouverture des manchettes. The cuffs are narrower than the seat (B) in order to release a safety space for the hands during deployment manipulations. The shape of the ends of the backrest corresponds to the opening angle of the cuffs.

Une articulation par charnière compensée par ressort à boudin entre le siège (B) ,supports des manchettes (C,C') et du dossier (A) et l'ensemble support composé par les pièces (D,E,F). A hinge joint compensated by a coil spring between the seat (B), supports for the cuffs (C, C ') and the backrest (A) and the support assembly made up of the parts (D, E, F).

La compensation servant à éviter une ouverture trop rapide du canapé et une fermeture trop difficile. The compensation used to avoid opening the sofa too quickly and closing too difficult.

L'ensemble du socle (D,E,F) est lui-même articulé par charnières entre (D) et (E)et (F),afin de pouvoir dé -plier ces trois facettes. The entire base (D, E, F) is itself articulated by hinges between (D) and (E) and (F), in order to be able to unfold these three facets.

L a pièce (F) possède une poignée pour pouvoir éventuellement déplacer le meuble. The part (F) has a handle to be able to move the furniture if necessary.

Les extrémités de la pièce (D),coé articulation (B) (D) servent de logement à des pieds escamotables assu -rant la stabilité du meuble en version canapé. The ends of the part (D), hinge joint (B) (D) serve as housing for retractable legs ensuring the stability of the furniture in the sofa version.

L'ossature du meuble est réalisée en profilé mécano soudé. The frame of the furniture is made of mechanically welded profile.

Le remplissage de ces cadres étant réalisé en lattes à sommier en contre plaqué. The filling of these frames being carried out with plywood base slats.

Les goussets de renfort des cadres servent de sup -port à des roulettes facilitant le déplacement,et la trans -formation du meuble. The reinforcing gussets of the frames serve as sup -port to casters facilitating the movement and the transformation of the furniture.

Les détails du système des articulations des pièces faisant appel à des technologies de constructions simples et epprouvées ne seront pas décrits car ils ne servent en rien à la compréhension de l'invention. The details of the system of articulations of the parts using simple and proven construction technologies will not be described because they do not serve any purpose for understanding the invention.

Un matelas spécial en mousse synthétique de forte épaisseur vient assurer un confort maximum.  A special thick synthetic foam mattress ensures maximum comfort.

PROCESSUS DE TRANSFORMATION
Dégager le canapé du mur (s'il se trouve contre un mur).
TRANSFORMATION PROCESS
Remove the sofa from the wall (if it is against a wall).

Déployer le dossier et les manchettes,le dossier verrouillé à l'horizontal et les deux manchettes en bu -tée sur le siège (fig.3). Unfold the backrest and the cuffs, the backrest locked horizontally and the two cuffs locked on the seat (fig.3).

Escamoter les pieds dans la position parrallèle au siège. Retract the feet into the position parallel to the seat.

Faire pivoter vers l'arrière l'ensemble précédem -ment formé autour des axes (D) (E) et (E) (F) jusqu'à obtenir une position stable de l'ensemble (fig.4). Rotate the previously formed assembly back around the axes (D) (E) and (E) (F) until a stable position of the assembly is obtained (fig. 4).

Pousser sur l'arête pour obtenir le lit à plat la manipulation se trouve freinée par la compensation afin d'éviter d'être emporté par le poids des pièces en mouve -ment.Lors du processus inverse, la compensation facilite la fermeture
A titre d'exemple la circonférence du lit sera de deux mètres quarante,et les profilés utilisés de 25 mm un matelas mousse de 10 cm d'épaisseur avec sa housse en tissu assurera un confort plus qu'acceptable.
Pushing on the ridge to get the bed flat, handling is slowed down by compensation to avoid being carried away by the weight of the moving parts. In the reverse process, compensation makes closing easier
For example, the circumference of the bed will be two and a half meters, and the profiles used of 25 mm, a foam mattress 10 cm thick with its fabric cover, will provide more than acceptable comfort.

Ce canapé selon l'invention va pouvoir satisfaire bon nombre de personnes en quête d'originalité:un lit rond et un canapé aux lignes innatendues.  This sofa according to the invention will be able to satisfy a good number of people looking for originality: a round bed and a sofa with unexpected lines.
