The specific embodiment
The article of furniture 2 of expression is the apparatus that comprises main frame 12, movable support component 14, seat plate 4 and backboard 6 in Fig. 1 to 11.In this embodiment, all elements are formed from steel described except that following, but other material of structure can be used for selecting embodiment.
In use, long struts 70 is the horizontal level (being illustrated in Fig. 1 and 4) when having the form of chair 10 when apparatus on rotary connector 36, swings to when apparatus converts the form of desk 11 to from the about 10 ° position of vertical inclination (being illustrated in Fig. 7 and 10).Equally swing to level when the table top is raised, and when adopting the chair form, drop to respect to vertical and be similar to 20 ° than sprag 72.
As from the decomposition view Figure 19 is seen, rotary connector 36 comprises the tube portion 69 on the end that is rigidly connected to pillar 70.Pipe 69 has the axle 41 that passes it and insert, and this axle 41 is smoothly be slidingly matched (neat sliding fit) in pipe 69.Axle 41 uses screw 42 to be attached on the corresponding lower end 39 of body side frame top part 24 and 25 at place, each end, and this screw 42 is passed in hole 43 in frame part 24 and 25 to be screwed in the screwed hole 45 in axle 41.Axle 41 freely rotates in pipe 69, and spring washer 47 provides low friction interface between each corresponding lower end 39 and pipe 69.The spring washer of Shi Yonging is a plastic material in this embodiment, and has wave-like, but can use the elastic washer of other type.
As seeing at Figure 12 to 14, seat plate 4 comprises peripheral frame 51, and this peripheral frame 51 has thin rigidity plate 52 and the strengthening part 54 that is attached on it.Peripheral frame has by the continuous U-shaped part 53 that forms around the both sides of seat plate and the anterior thin-walled channel-section sheet metal that extends with along straight, the angle section of extending at the inward flange 7 at the place, rear portion of seat plate 4 and approaches metal part 55.U-shaped part 53 has two side parts 93 that engaged by anterior part 94.The thin-walled shape for hat cross section steel of straight length is strengthened extending to another side part 93 across parts 54 from a side part 93 as reinforcing. Peripheral frame part 53 and 55 is welded to one another at their end place, and is welded to plate 52 and across on the parts 54, so that form rigid unitary seat plate structure.
As seeing at Figure 15 to 17, backboard 6 has the general structure with the structure similar of seat plate 4.Plate 6 has peripheral frame 51a, and thin rigidity plate 52a is attached on the peripheral frame 51a.Peripheral frame 51a has the continuous U-shaped part 53 of the thin-walled channel-section sheet metal formation of extending around the top of its both sides and backboard 6 and the thin metal part 55a in straight angle section that locates in the bottom of backboard.The straight length of thin-walled shape for hat cross section steel is as reinforcing another arm of strengthening extending to from the arm of part 53a across parts 54a part 53a. Peripheral frame part 53a and 55a are welded to one another, and are welded to plate 52a and across on the parts 54a, so that form rigid unitary backboard structure.
For clarity, two rigidity plates 52 and 52a are expressed as the opening mesh in Figure 12,14,15 and 17, and all remove in Figure 18.Do like this is in order to see otherwise the part that can be hidden.
A pair of short cylindrical shape rubber bumper 84 is attached in across the hole on the parts 54 88 by short column 86 thereon.Replace pillar, screw can be used for this attached.When seat plate 4 was reduced, each buffer 84 was aimed at the corresponding upper beam 23 of body side frame 16 and 18.Two rubber blankets 90 (being illustrated among Fig. 7) are attached on the end face of respective brackets 44, thereby each pad 90 is aimed at the side part 93 of seat mount.Buffer 84 and pad 90 provide 4 supports of elasticity that are used for seat plate 4 when as chair thus.
The downside of strengthening part 54 is with sticking patch 64 bonding of Velcro-type hook and ring fastener material above it, and cooperate sticking patch 65 by sprag 72 to forward extension 76 carryings, and other cooperation sticking patch 66 is bonded on the long struts 70.By this means, prevent that seat plate 4 from rising when being in chair or being in table construction.
In falling the position, prevent seat plate 4 to front slide by slide bolt door bolt 59, this slide bolt door bolt 59 and slides to engage with the open end 77 of the short part 76 of pillar 72 rigidly and be fixed firmly on the backboard 6.Door bolt is illustrated among Fig. 1-3,5,7,8,10,15 and 16, but for the sake of clarity saves from Figure 17 and 18.When apparatus was configured to its table construction, slide bolt door bolt 59 skidded off in the end 79 with the longer part 78 that navigates to the pipe that forms sprag 72.This location- plate 4 and 6 with respect to movable support component 14 and securely in each of two kinds of structures.
Figure 19 represents other selectivity part.Welding (or otherwise firmly fixing) to the free end of the longer part 78 of sprag 72 is the short length of angle section metal, this supporter 74 that angle section metal forms and pillar 72 meets at right angles and is aligned.Supporter 74 be aligned of making in its flange 75 support component 14 in Figure 19, seen be raised in the position time extend upward.When apparatus was configured to its table construction, flange 75 was clamped between the hinged edge 3 and 7 of seat plate and backboard.When apparatus was configured to its table construction, flange 75 and metal segments 74 were hold assemblies.This prevent or at least confinement plate 4 and 6 wave with respect to the side direction of pillar 72.
Figure 20 to 22 expression is for the optionally locking system that relates to folder 95 described above.Can select among the embodiment at this, contact pin 192 is the extensions from the part 93 of the U-shaped part 53 of seat mount.Each contact pin 192 from the outward flange of frame part 53 to bias internal, thereby it can be nested in the frame part 53a and against this frame part.
At each place, end of hinge 5, spring steel locking folder 195 is connected to the inside of seat mount part 53.This connection is to carry out with the rivet 189 that passes seat mount part 53 by first end of the spring steel body 197 that passes folder 195.The pin 196 that second end carrying of the body of folder 195 is outwards pointed to, this pin 196 has hemispherical nose.The contact pin 192 of extending from seat mount part 53 has the hole 191 with the diameter that is a bit larger tham pin 196.The hole 191 that pin 196 is passed in the contact pin 192 is engaged (and outstanding from it).
As seeing among Fig. 7,10 and 11, being connected below the seat plate 4 is wire frames 83, and this wire frames 83 can skid off to be used for supporting the flatiron when the use desk Ironing.Framework 83 is expressed as withdrawal in Fig. 7, and is expressed as being extended in Figure 10 and 11.
Although above description comprises the preferred embodiments of the present invention, be appreciated that multiple variation, change, modification and/or interpolation can be incorporated in the structure and layout of the part of describing in the past, and do not break away from essential characteristic of the present invention or spirit or scope.The example of such variation, change and modification is as follows:
-use the pipe of square tubes rather than description for some of frame element, and/or use the square tube of pipes rather than description for some of frame element.
-replacing as described by solder joints and joint element, they can be connected rigidly by other device, as by riveted joint, screw connection or pass through adhesive.Selectively, joint element can be replaced by the single element that forms from individual unit.
-wire frames Iron support 83 can by form from sheet material or replace from the molded function equivalent element of thermosetting resin or other heat proof material.
-replace the use of Velcro- type sticking patch 64,65 described above and 66 or in addition, other anchorage clip can be connected on the downside of seat plate 4, make it catch movable support component 14 in one of two positions securely.It is textural that this position depends on which kind of furniture just is being set at.A kind of anchorage clip of suitable type is by Egli Fischer﹠amp; Co A.G title " Clic Connector " down type sold from locker.
