Description
- The present invention is generally concerned with furniture and more specifically it is concerned with applying a webbing such as a seat portion, a backrest, etc. to the furniture frame.
- Hereinafter in the specification the term “furniture” denotes any type of furniture used for seating such as, for example, chairs, armchairs, rocking chairs, stools, seats, sofas, garden furniture, etc.
- The term “webbing” as used herein in the specification and claims denotes a flexible surface of the furniture suitable for supporting a person using the furniture, e.g. a seat, a backrest, a leg rest, etc. Such webbing may be typically made of a uniform material or made of flaps, typically transversing one another.
- A variety of methods exist for attaching webbing to a furniture's frame, to thereby provide a comfortable and pleasant support surface serving, e.g. as a seat portion or a backrest.
- Examples of disclosures of such methods are, for example, U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,512,834, 5,015,034, 5,338,091 and 5,662,383.
- It is a primary object of the present invention to provide a furniture wherein the webbing material is attached to the frame of the furniture in a fast, easy and cost effective fashion. This is achieved by integrally molding of the webbing with profiles which are in turn easily engageable with a receptacle of the furniture's frame.
- According to the present invention there is provided a furniture item comprising at least one support portion, said at least one support portion comprising a receiving frame and a support member comprising a webbing made of flexible material fitted at its edges with frame engaging profiles formed with first engaging members for secure engagement with corresponding second engaging members of the receiving frame; the invention characterized in that said frame engaging profiles are integrally molded with said webbing.
- The webbing may be a sheet of material or a mesh or a plurality of straps, typically transversely extending.
- The webbing is made of or coated with a thermoplastic material. In accordance with one of its embodiments, the webbing is a mesh of fabric woven of polymeric yarns coated with thermoplastic material and the frame-engaging profiles are made of material having a substantially low coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE). The frame-engaging profiles are made of a thermoplastic material which is injection moldable and heat weldable with the coating of the webbing. However, according to other embodiments, the frame-engaging profiles are made of non-thermoplastic material though moldable, e.g. metal, composite materials, etc.
- In accordance with one particular embodiment the frame-engaging profiles form a closed frame structure corresponding with the shape of the receiving frame. However, in accordance with another embodiment, the frame-engaging profiles are non uniform and are attachable one by one to the receiving frame.
- In order to increase attachment of the frame-engaging profiles to the webbing material, it is advantageous that the webbing has a roughened texture at least at zones attached to the frame-engaging profiles. Alternatively, or in addition, this may be obtained by forming said zones with pores, whereby material of the frame-engaging profiles penetrates through the webbing to thereby increase mechanical engagement therebetween. Furthermore, the frame-engaging profile may sandwich edges of the webbing whereby such sandwiching may be obtained by penetration through the webbing.
- In accordance with one particular embodiment the frame-engaging profiles are detachable from the receiving frame whereby the support member may be removed, e.g. for cleaning and maintenance or replaced. Such removable connection may be, for example, a snap-type engagement.
- The invention is further concerned with a method for manufacturing a support portion for a furniture item, said support portion comprising a receiving frame and a support member comprising a webbing made of flexible material fitted at its edges with frame engaging profiles formed with first engaging members for secure engagement with corresponding second engaging members of the receiving frame; the method includes integrally molding of the said frame engaging profiles with the webbing.
- In accordance with the method of the invention, the webbing is made of a mesh fabric woven of polymeric yarns coated with a thermoplastic material whereby the frame-engaging profiles are made of a material having a substantially low coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) and wherein during molding the frame-engaging profiles are heat welded to respective portions of the webbing.
- In accordance with a particular embodiment, during the molding process, the material of the frame-engaging profiles penetrates through the webbing to thereby increase mechanical engagement therebetween.
- In order to understand the invention and to see how it may be carried out in practice, an embodiment will now be described, by way of a non-limiting example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
-
FIG. 1 is an isometric view of a furniture, a garden chair in the present example, in accordance with the present invention; -
FIG. 2A is an isometric top view of a receiving frame removed from the chair ofFIG. 1 ; -
FIG. 2B is a top view of the receiving frame seen inFIG. 2A ; -
FIG. 3A is a top isometric view of the support member removed from the hair, in a position as removed from the mold; -
FIG. 3B is a bottom isometric view, illustrating the support member ofFIG. 3A in a position prior to engaging with the receiving frame ofFIGS. 3A and 3B ; -
FIG. 4A is an enlargement of the portion marked III inFIG. 3A ; -
FIG. 4B is an enlargement of the portion marked III inFIG. 3A as seen from below; and -
FIG. 5 is a local section along lines V-V inFIG. 1 , illustrating how the support portion is engaged with the furniture item. -
FIG. 1 illustrates an armchair generally designated 10 of the type commonly used as garden furniture, and which comprises several frame components namelylegs 12,armrests 14, aseat 16, and abackrest 18, which in the present example is inclinable between several respective positions. - In the present embodiment the frame components are made of molded plastic material though this is not necessarily the case and the frame components may be made, for example, of wood, metal, etc., or of a combination of several such materials.
- Furthermore, the chair may be collapsible and/or stackable, as known with such plastic chairs which are often referred to also as “garden furniture” and “garden chairs”, respectively.
- As can further be seen in
FIG. 1 , theseat 16 and thebackrest 18 comprise asupport portion - For the sake of clarity only, further reference will be made to the
seat 16, though the skilled reader will appreciate that the same arrangements as will be hereinafter disclosed in detail, could apply to theback rest 18 and also to other furniture articles (not shown). - Embedded within the
seat frame 16 there is a receiving frame 30 (independently shown inFIGS. 2A and 2B ) which in the present embodiment is a rectangle though other shapes are possible just as well. - Receiving
frame 30 may be integrally formed with the respective frame member (seat 16 or backrest 18) e.g. in an injection molding process, or else it may be fixedly attached thereto. For the sake of clarity, in the present example, the receiving frame has been removed from theseat 16. - As can be seen in
FIGS. 2A and 2B , thereceiving frame 30 comprises aperipheral recess 32 substantially vertically extending from atop edge 34 towards a bottom edge 36 (FIG. 2A ) with a plurality ofopenings 40 formed at a bottom surface of therecess 32. - The
receiving frame 30 is made of a rigid material and has awebbing support surface 42 and a gradually inclined orcurved surface 44 to allow some deformation of a webbing under load, i.e. weight of a person seated on the chair. - Further attention is now directed to
FIGS. 3A ; 3B and 4A; 4B illustrating a support member generally designated 50 comprising a surface of flexible webbing 54 (see alsoFIGS. 1 and 5 ) and frame-engaging profiles 56 integrated with thewebbing 54, as will become apparent hereinafter. - The
webbing 54 is made of mesh fabric woven of polymeric yarns coated with a thermoplastic material, e.g. PVC. Such mesh is often referred to as Textilene® and is available in different colors and density. - In accordance with a particular embodiment the
webbing 54 has a roughened surface at least at its peripheral zones (59 inFIG. 4A ) where the frame-engagingprofiles 56 extend. In addition, or alternatively, saidperipheral zone 59 may comprise pores to further increase mechanical attachment with the frame-engaging profiles, as will be explained hereinafter. - The frame-engaging
profiles 56 extend along edges of thewebbing 54. In the present example theprofiles 56 are individual profiles though in accordance with other embodiments (not shown) the profiles may be formed into a rigid frame consisting of two or more such frame-engaging profiles or, each edge of the webbing may comprise several frame-engaging profiles rather than a continuous profile as illustrated in the annexed figures. - The frame-engaging
profiles 56 comprise aruler portion 62 corresponding in shape with therecess 32 of the receivingframe 30 such that at the assembled position (FIG. 5 ) the ruler conceals therecess 32. - Each of the
profiles 56 comprises a plurality if first engagingmembers 66 fitted at their free end with alug 68 for snap engaging withinrecesses 40 of the receivingframe 30, as seen inFIG. 5 . - The
support member 50 is manufactured in an injection molding process where a sheet ofwebbing material 54 is applied into the mold (not shown) where injection moldable, thermoplastic material (e.g. ABS) is injected into the mold and whereby molten material flows through the pores of thewebbing 54 allowed to expand into preformedsupport ribs 70 which may also be in the form of support surfaces (not shown). In such a process the frame-engagingprofiles 56 are molded and integrated with thewebbing 54 such that attachment of theprofiles 56 to thewebbing 54 is obtained by both heat welding of the thermoplastic material of the welded profiles which heat welds to the thermoplastic coating of the webbing and further by mechanical attaching, i.e. penetration of the molded material through the pores of the webbing and further by the sandwiching of theribs 70. It is appreciated that rather thanribs 70 the edges ofwebbing 54 may be entirely sandwiched by corresponding portions of the frame-engaging profiles (not shown). - The frame-engaging
profiles 54 are made of a material having a substantially low coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) whereby after withdrawal of theintegral support member 50 from the mold, the frame-engaging profiles substantially do not deform, retaining thewebbing 54 in an essentially flat position.FIG. 3A illustrates the position of thesupport member 50 as it is withdrawn from the mold. - Engaging the
support member 50 to the receivingmember 30 is carried out by introducing the first engagingmembers 56 into the correspondingrecesses 32 to thereby facilitate snap engagement oflugs 68 withinrecesses 40. It is appreciated that depending on the particular design the snap engagement may be disengaged, e.g. by the aid of a tool such as a screwdriver. It is further appreciated that other forms of engagement may be utilized, e.g. locking eyes projecting from the first engaging members engageable with corresponding locking eyes of the second engaging members of the receiving frame, said eyes engageable with one another, for example by a pin extending through the eyes, etc. (this arrangement is not shown). - Tensioning the web over the receiving frame is obtained by ensuring that the distance between
opposed recesses 32 of the receiving frame is slightly larger than the respective distance between opposed frame-engagingprofiles 56 whereby engagement of the support member with the receiving frame requires some amount of force. - Whilst the description hereinabove describes a specific embodiment and several applications of the invention, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that the invention is not limited thereto and that other variations may be possible, without departing from the scope and the spirit of the invention herein disclosed. For example, a variety of engagements may be suited for fixedly engaging between the support member and the receiving frame. Otherwise, the support member may be formed in a variety of shapes and patterns and the support member may be designed for easy removal, etc.
