Definitions
- One object of the invention is to provide a furniture of the kind referred to which in all its applications, ie as a rocking chair, as a childrens chair or as a car for playing purposes has a safety belt which effectively prevents the child from slipping down from the actual seat.
- FIG. 1 illustrates an exemplary embodiment of the invention.
- the sole FIGURE is a longitudinal section through a preferred embodiment of the invention.
- the new furniture comprises two gables, being reversed to each other and generally designated 1. Of course, only one of these gables is shown in the draw ing. Said gables are secured to each other by means of a number of transverse elements 2,3,4,5,6. These elements have each as will be apparent from the following description besides this purpose also a special purpose in the combination furniture. It may be noted that the elements 2,3 have a longer extension perpendicular to the plane of the drawing than the elements 5,6 so that the furniture eg in the illustrated position where it constitutes a children's chairhas a larger width at the lower end than at the upper end as is conventional in children's chairs.
- transverse elements preferably consisting of boards of plywood or similar relatively rigid material, give support for upholstered portions intended to serve as seats and back-rests respectively.
- These upholsteries 7,8,9 may consist of pieces of foam plastic or foam rubbery positioned around the boards 4,5,6 which are then enclosed in bags made from fabric or the like and defining the outer surfaces of the upholsteries.
- the closure of these bags may by aid of the positioning of the upholsteries be placed hidden according to the drawing for example by arranging the closure for the upholstery 9 in the portion that extends down into the upholstery 8.
- Said upholsteries should overbridge the distance between the gables.
- Said gables are preferably made from plastic reinforced material and are provided with screw holes or the like to enable the connecting thereof with the boards by means of screws extending through said holes and threaded into the boards.
- the gables l are bridged by an upper and a lower shaft ia,l0b made from wood or in the form of a metallic tube.
- these shafts are not secured to the gables l but are only guided thereby so that they are fixed against displacement but may perform a rotational movement in relation to the guides which latter preferably consist of sleeves, forming part of the gables.
- Each shaft a,l0b has in the proximity of each of the free ends thereof a roll or a wheel lla,l lb for example in the form of a rubber roll.
- this furniture In the use of this furniture as a childrens' chair these wheels essentially serve as buffer means or protectors preventing damage on tables or the like but as will appear from the following they also serve as wheels when the furniture is used as a car.
- a safety belt which as can be seen from the drawing passes below the upholstery 8, then behind the upholstery 7, below the same and forwardly above the edge of the board 2 through a hole in the same and back in order to be positioned by the second end thereof around the portion between the upper edge of the board 3 and a hole provided in the board.
- the ends of the belt being positioned around the shaft 10a and the board 3 respectively are connected to each other for instance by means of clips 13u,l3h.
- the furniture in its use as a children's chair is provided with a shaft 10a to grip, as well as with a safety belt preventing the child from slipping down through the space between the seat 8 and the shaft 1011.
- Seat and backrest are positioned in a suitable height level and at a suitable distance from the shaft 10a.
- the furniture In case it is desired to use the furniture as a rockinghorse the same is only turned in such a manner that the right and curved part 14 thereof as seen in the drawing will rest upon the floor. In this position it is rather the upholsteries 7 and 8 (the lower end thereof) that define the seat and back-rest, respectively, and also in this case accidents are prevented since the belt prevents the child from slipping out between the board 2 and the seat 7.
- the rocking the child may grasp the shaft 10h but it is also suitable to provide a steering wheel (not shown) on the board 2.
- the board 3 serves in this position of the furniture as a foot rest.
- the upholstery 4 serves as the seat and the upholstery 8 as the back-rest and also in this case a safety belt is obtained preventing the child from slipping out between the board 3 and the seat 4.
- the upholstery 6 may in this case define a platform or a passengers space.
- the furniture has an outer contour somewhat resembling a horse and to obtain saving of material and consequently a lower weight recesses or holes 16 are made in the gables said holes being preferably surrounded by armed beads of the gables in question.
- the board 3 that is suitable for use as a substrate in activities such as drawing, painting and the like is provided with an edge moulding 17 in the forward end thereof in its operative position.
- a combination furniture comprising a rockingchair, a children s chair and a car for amusing purposes and including two side members each having an arcuated portion defining a rocker surface, said side members being mutually connected by means of transverse members at least some of which define seats and backrests respectively for the various applications of the furniture, and transverse elements which constitute seats and back-rests respectively consisting of a first board which, when the furniture is in a position in which it is used as an amusement car and having said rocker surface facing upwardly, extends substantially perpendicular to the accomodation plan of the car and at a distance from one end of said side members which excceds its distance from the opposite end thereof and a second and a third board both ofwhich extend substantially perpendicular to said first board and both extend from said first board intermediate its end but in sub stantially opposite directions, a belt being secured to the middle portion of a first one of said transverse elements which; still when the furniture is used as an amusement car.
- said belt then passing the lower free end of said first board, following one side of said first board upwardly to reach the upper surface of said second board then passing along said upper surface of said second board and then via the free end of said second board passing downardly and through a guiding means in a second one of said tranverse elements located substantially vertically below the free end of said second board in order to thereafter run in essentially the opposite direction towards the free end of a third one of said transverse elements which is located substantially vertically above the free end of said second board and said belt being connected to the last mentioned transverse element.
- one of the transverse elements is in the shape of a shaft, a pair of rollers on said shaft and a similar shaft is provided at the opposite end of the furniture and further said belt is in the shape of a loop is laid around said first transverse element to act as a brake means when said first transverse element is brought into rotation.
