Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a convertible seating device.
  • the technical problem which is posed, therefore, is to provide a seating device which is able to vary its configuration from a normal chair into an armchair with armrests.
  • said seating device should consist of a small number of parts which can be assembled at a low cost and should be provided with simple and low-cost hinging means which can be applied to the said seating device with ease.
  • a convertible seating device comprising a support base for resting on the ground formed by four uprights, the top end of which is joined to a horizontal surface, a beam being joined at each lateral edge of the said surface, extending in a longitudinal direction, and having, joined to it, an upright column forming the support element for a backrest, said beam being formed by a first part fixed to the seat and by a second part which is hinged with the first part by corresponding hinging means so as to allow rotation of the movable part of the beam from a substantially horizontal position into a substantially vertical position.
  • the convertible seating device comprises a support base 10 for resting on the ground formed by four uprights 11, the top end of which is to joined to a surface 12 forming the seat.
  • a beam 20 supporting an upright column 30 forming the support element for a backrest 40 arranged transversely between said two columns is joined at each lateral edge 12a of the seat 12.
  • the beam 20 is formed by two longitudinal parts, one 21 of which is fixed to the seat and one 22 of which is hinged with the fixed part 21 by means of pin 50 movable in the transverse direction following a pushing action performed by the user against the reactive force of a spring 51 inserted in a corresponding recess 51a of the seat 12.
  • Said pin 50 has a longitudinal section 50a with a widened square section able to penetrate into corresponding recesses 21a and 22a, respectively, of the fixed part 21 and the movable part 22 of the beam 20 so as to cause relative locking/unlocking of the two parts.
  • the operating principle of the convertible seating device is as follows:
  • the said armchair becomes utilisable by sitting on the opposite side to that of the seating device in the chair configuration.
  • both the connection between the backrest 40 and the columns 30 and the connection between the columns 30 and the movable part 22 of the beam 20 may be effected using hinging means which can be locked/unlocked, for example of the friction or sawtooth type (which are known per se and therefore not shown) able to allow adjustment of the relative inclination of the various parts depending on the specific comfort requirements of the individual user.
