Definitions

  • the invention relates to a seat.
  • the invention further relates to a furniture arrangement.
  • a seat comprising a body part, including at least one chair base, a seat part, the seat part being attached to the body part, a slot between a bottom side of the seat part and the body part, the slot having a height and a length and a width, and being accessible from all sides of the seat, the slot being dimensioned such that it is creating points of support for holding up the seat on a horizontal support element positioned from said sides in the slot.
  • a furniture arrangement comprising a seat as described above and a table comprising a table top, wherein the horizontal support element is said table top.
  • FIG. 1 is a schematic side view of a detail of a seat.
  • the seat 1 is a stool without a back part.
  • the seat 1 comprises a body part 2 that includes a chair base 3, and a seat part 4.
  • the seat part 4 is attached to the body part 2 such that there is a slot 5 between a bottom side of the seat part 4 and the body part 2.
  • the slot 5 has height H and length L and width W.
  • the slot 5 is accessible from side of the seat 1.
  • the slot 5 is dimensioned such that a horizontal support element 7 may be positioned from said side in the slot 5, and point of supports 6 for holding up the seat 1 on said horizontal support element 7 are created in the slot.
  • the seat 1 may incline a bit when hanging on the horizontal support element 7, but due to forces affecting in the slot 5 and dimensions of the slot, the seat 1 does not fall away from the support of the horizontal support element 7.
  • the horizontal support element 7 may be e.g. a table top 12.
  • the profile of the seat part 4 may be flat as shown in Figure 1 .
  • the seat part 4 may comprise shapes that e.g. for enhancing ergonomics of the seat, such as shown in Figures 4a and 4b .
  • the material of the seat part 4 may comprise e.g. wood, wood laminate, metal, polymer, composite etc.
  • the body part 2 is construed from tube parts 8.
  • the body part 2 may comprise plates or panels, wires, bars etc.
  • Manufacturing material of the body part 2 may be metal, polymer, composite, wood, wood laminate etc. or any combinations thereof.
  • the chair base 3 is in form of a four leg base.
  • the seat 1 may be stackable or not stackable.
  • the body part 2 is attached to the seat part 4 by brackets 9, which brackets are arranged to create the slot 5 between the body part 2 and the seat part 4. Furthermore, the slot may end 5 to at least one of said brackets 9.
  • the bracket 9 can be attached by weld, screw, screw-bolt, glue or it can be a part of the chair base 3 or seat part 4.
  • the body part 2 comprises a geometry arranged to create the slot 5 between the body part 2 and the seat part 4. This kind of structure may be realized e.g. by bending the body part to extend upwards in a suitable way.
  • the length L is more than the height H.
  • the length L is in range of 70mm - 100mm, and height H 20mm - 30mm.
  • another dimensions may also be selected.
  • the height of the slot 5 is limited by the seat part 4.
  • the structure of the seat may be very simple.
  • the auxiliary body 13 serves as an upper limit or border of the slot 5.
  • the height H of the slot 5 is constant almost all the length of the slot 5. Only “shoulders" of the chair base 3 at the perimeter of the slot 5 cause deviations from the constant height.
  • the height H may be changing (decreasing or increasing) from the perimeter towards an end of the slot 5.
  • the changing of the height H may be a continuous change, or there may be discontinuous changes in the height H, e.g. due to structural parts of the body part 2 and/or the seat part 4.
  • Figure 2 is a schematic side view of a furniture arrangement
  • Figure 3 is a schematic top view of said furniture arrangement.
  • a furniture arrangement 14 comprising at least one seat 1 as described in this description, and at least one table 11 having a table top 12.
  • the slot (s) 5 of the at least one seat 1 is/are dimensioned such that the table top 12 can be used as the horizontal support element 7.
  • Figures 4a and 4b are schematic views of further embodiments of a seat.
  • the seat 5 is provided with back part 10.
  • the seat 5 may also comprise armrests, a folding table etc.
  • Figure 4a is showing an embodiment of the seat 5, the chair base 3 of which is in form of a sled base.
  • the embodiment shown in Figure 4b comprises a chair base 3 that is in form of a five star base.
