Description

La présente invention concerne une chaise de style Napoléon III empilable.The present invention relates to a stackable Napoleon III style chair.

Une chaise de pur style Napoléon III, tel qu'il est apparu vers 1875, comprend des pieds de section relativement fine. Les pieds avant sont sensiblement verticaux et les pieds arrière sont courbés vers l'intérieur, de sorte que la distance séparant les pieds avant au niveau de l'assise est supérieure à la distance séparant les pieds arrière. L'extrémité inférieure des pieds avant est évasée vers l'avant et vers l'extérieur tandis que l'extrémité inférieure des pieds arrière est évasée vers l'arrière et éventuellement vers l'extérieur. Les bords latéraux de l'assise présentent une légère convexité du côté extérieur. En outre, les pieds sont reliés deux à deux par des barreaux qui sont primordiaux pour la solidité de la chaise puisqu'une grande partie des efforts qu'elle est amenée à subir est concentrée sur eux.A pure Napoleon III style chair, as it appeared around 1875, has legs of relatively fine section. The front feet are substantially vertical and the rear feet are curved inward, so that the distance between the front feet at the seat is greater than the distance between the rear feet. The lower end of the front legs is flared forward and outward while the lower end of the rear legs is flared rearward and possibly outward. The lateral edges of the seat have a slight convexity on the outside. In addition, the feet are connected two by two by bars which are essential for the solidity of the chair since a large part of the efforts which it is brought to undergo is concentrated on them.

Les figures 1 et 2 représentent respectivement de face et en coupe selon II-II de figure 1 une telle chaise.Figures 1 and 2 show respectively from the front and in section along II-II of Figure 1 such a chair.

La chaise de style Napoléon III fait actuellement l'objet d'un marché important et en plein essor, mais pose en pratique un certain nombre de problèmes quant à son utilisation.The Napoleon III style chair is currently the subject of a large and growing market, but in practice poses a number of problems as to its use.

Le problème essentiel résulte du fait que ces chaises ne sont pas empilables, du fait de la courbure des pieds arrière et de l'existence des barreaux, et ne peuvent, en conséquence, être facilement transportées et stockées. De plus, les chaises existantes comprennent des galettes fixes, ce qui empêche l'adaptation simple et rapide de la couleur des galettes des chaises à la décoration du lieu où elles sont placées.The main problem results from the fact that these chairs are not stackable, due to the curvature of the rear legs and the existence of the bars, and therefore cannot be easily transported and stored. In addition, the existing chairs include fixed slabs, which prevents the color of the slabs of the chairs from being quickly and easily adapted to the decoration of the place where they are placed.

Il est connu de réaliser des chaises de style en bois qui sont rendues empilables grâce à la suppression des barreaux horizontaux précités et à l'évasement important des pieds arrière, l'ensemble des pieds ayant une section très supérieure à la section habituelle des pieds d'une chaise de style Napoléon III, afin de compenser la supression des barreaux et de manière à conserver une solidité suffisante à la chaise. En outre, la section accrue des pieds avant oblige à les déporter vers l'extérieur en leur donnant une forme courbe au voisinage de l'assise.It is known to make wooden style chairs which are made stackable by eliminating the aforementioned horizontal bars and the large flaring of the rear legs, all of the legs having a section much larger than the usual section of the legs. '' a Napoleon III style chair, to compensate for the removal of the bars and so as to maintain sufficient strength to the chair. In addition, the increased section of the front legs means that they have to be moved outwards, giving them a curved shape in the vicinity of the seat.

Ce type de chaise présente les inconvénients de s'écarter nettement du style Napoléon III classique et d'être lourde et inesthétique du fait de l'augmentation de la section des pieds. De plus, le revêtement de la galette peut, à la longue, être détérioré par le frottement des pieds.This type of chair has the disadvantages of clearly deviating from the classic Napoleon III style and of being heavy and unsightly due to the increase in the section of the legs. In addition, the coating of the wafer can, in the long run, be deteriorated by the friction of the feet.

Les FR 624 642 et GB 845 582 décrivent des chaises empilables mais qui ne sont pas de style Napoléon III, le premier de ces documents décrivant des chaises dépourvues de barreaux et dont les assises comprennent des dégagements latéraux pour le passage des pieds des chaises empilées, tandis que le deuxième document décrit une chaise de style Wilson, c'est-à-dire avec des pieds arrière fixés au-dessous de l'assise et des barreaux ne se trouvant pas sur le passage des pieds des chaises empilées.FR 624 642 and GB 845 582 describe stackable chairs but which are not in the Napoleon III style, the first of these documents describing chairs without bars and whose seats include lateral clearances for the passage of the feet of stacked chairs, while the second document describes a Wilson style chair, that is to say with rear legs fixed below the seat and bars not located on the passage of the legs of the stacked chairs.

La présente invention vise à remédier à ces inconvénients en fournissant une chaise empilable qui respecte le style Napoléon III classique, qui soit esthétique et légère, qui ne se détériore pas à l'usage et qui soit facile d'entretien et rapidement adaptable à la décoration du lieu dans lequel elle est placée.The present invention aims to remedy these drawbacks by providing a stackable chair which respects the classic Napoleon III style, which is aesthetic and light, which does not deteriorate in use and which is easy to maintain and quickly adaptable to the decoration. of the place where it is placed.

A cette fin, la chaise qu'elle concerne comprend en combinaison :

  • une assise dont les bords latéraux présentent une forme extérieure comprenant une courbure de forme convexe à partir de l'avant de la chaise, qui s'inverse à environ mi-longueur pour présenter, jusqu'à l'arrière de la chaise, une courbure de forme concave ;
  • des barreaux latéraux dont les extrémités arrière sont déportées vers l'intérieur au moins au-delà de la verticale des bords latéraux de l'assise ;
  • des pieds arrière non courbés vers l'intérieur qui s'évasent progressivement vers l'extérieur, et dont la distance séparant les parois intérieures est, au niveau des barreaux latéraux, supérieure à la largeur de l'assise à l'arrière de la chaise.
To this end, the chair it relates to includes in combination:
  • a seat, the lateral edges of which have an external shape comprising a curvature of convex shape from the front of the chair, which reverses at about mid-length to present, up to the back of the chair, a curvature concave;
  • lateral bars, the rear ends of which are offset inwards at least beyond the vertical of the lateral edges of the seat;
  • rear legs which are not curved inwards and which gradually widen outwards, the distance between the interior walls of which is greater than the width of the seat at the rear of the chair at the side bars .

La courbure de forme concave des bords latéraux de l'assise d'une chaise permet le passage des pieds arrière d'une autre chaise, que l'on empile, de part et d'autre de l'assise précitée, passage rendu possible par le fait que les pieds arrière ne sont pas courbés vers l'intérieur. Le déport des barreaux latéraux ne gêne pas ce passage. La forme évasée des pieds arrière et la distance séparant leur paroi intérieure au niveau des barreaux latéraux permet l'engagement de la chaise que l'on empile jusqu'à venue de ses barreaux latéraux au contact du revêtement de la galette de la chaise inférieure.The concave curvature of the lateral edges of the seat of a chair allows the passage of the rear legs of another chair, which is stacked on either side of the aforementioned seat, passage made possible by the fact that the rear legs are not bent inward. The offset of the side bars does not hinder this passage. The flared shape of the rear legs and the distance separating their inner wall at the level of the side bars allows the engagement of the chair which is stacked until its side bars come into contact with the covering of the seat cushion of the lower chair.

Les barreaux latéraux assurent une stabilisation parfaite de la chaise empilée et ont une importante surface d'appui sur le revêtement de la galette de la chaise inférieure, ce qui, ajouté au profil non agressif des barreaux résultant de leur forme circulaire en section transversale, évite une détérioration de ce revêtement, même en cas de l'empilage de plusieurs chaises.The side bars ensure perfect stabilization of the stacked chair and have a large bearing surface on the covering of the pad of the lower chair, which, added to the non-aggressive profile of the bars resulting from their circular shape in cross section, prevents deterioration of this coating, even in the case of stacking several chairs.

La galette est tout de même préférentiellement amovible afin d'éliminer tout risque de marquage de son revêtement, et les barreaux peuvent comporter des pastilles de matière élastique à leurs points de contact avec l'assise, afin de protéger la peinture de cette dernière.The wafer is still preferably removable in order to eliminate any risk of marking of its coating, and the bars may include pellets of elastic material at their points of contact with the seat, in order to protect the paint from the latter.

L'amovibilité de la galette permet en outre de simplifier l'entretien de la chaise et de l'adapter facilement et rapidement à la décoration du lieu dans lequel elle se trouve, par interchangement de galettes dont les revêtements diffèrent.The removability of the pancake also makes it possible to simplify the maintenance of the chair and to adapt it easily and quickly to the decoration of the place in which it is located, by interchanging pancakes whose coverings differ.

Avantageusement, la distance séparant les parois intérieures des pieds arrière au niveau des barreaux latéraux n'est que très légèrement supérieure à la largeur de l'assise à l'arrière de la chaise et au voisinage des pieds arrière, de manière à ce que, après empilage, l'assise de la chaise inférieure soit étroitement engagée entre les parois intérieures précitées des pieds arrière de la chaise empilée et avec frottement, afin d'engendrer un effet d"'auto-blocage" des chaises empilées les unes sur les autres.Advantageously, the distance separating the interior walls of the rear legs at the level of the lateral bars is only very slightly greater than the width of the seat at the rear of the chair and in the vicinity of the rear legs, so that, after stacking, the seat of the lower chair is tightly engaged between the abovementioned interior walls of the rear legs of the stacked chair and with friction, in order to generate a "self-locking" effect of the chairs stacked on top of each other .

Les parois intérieures des pieds arrière peuvent comporter des pastilles en matériau élastique afin de préserver la peinture des chaises.The interior walls of the rear legs may include pads made of elastic material in order to preserve the paint on the chairs.

Suivant une possibilité, les barreaux latéraux métalliques sont soudés à un barreau arrière également métallique, mais, de préférence, les barreaux latéraux et arrière sont constitués par une seule pièce en forme de U dont chaque branche constitue un barreau latéral et dont la partie centrale constitue le barreau arrière, chacune des branches du U étant fixée par son extrémité libre à l'un des pieds avant de la chaise et par son autre extrémité, au pied arrière correspondant.According to one possibility, the metal lateral bars are welded to an equally metallic rear bar, but, preferably, the lateral and rear bars are constituted by a single U-shaped piece, each branch of which constitutes a lateral bar and the central part of which constitutes the rear bar, each of the branches of the U being fixed by its free end to one of the front legs of the chair and by its other end, to the corresponding rear leg.

L'assemblage des barreaux garantit la solidité de la chaise. En outre, le barreau arrière contribue à augmenter la surface d'appui de la chaise empilée et à la stabiliser sur la chaise inférieure.The assembly of the bars guarantees the solidity of the chair. In addition, the rear bar helps to increase the support surface of the stacked chair and to stabilize it on the lower chair.

De toute façon, l'invention sera bien comprise à l'aide de la description qui suit, en référence au dessin schématique annexé représentant, à titre d'exemple non limitatif, une forme de réalisation préférée de la chaise selon l'invention.

  • Figure 3 en est une vue de face ;
  • Figure 4 en est une vue de dessus avec arrachement partiel de l'assise ;
  • Figure 5 est une vue de plusieurs chaises empilées ; et
  • Figure 6 est une vue en coupe similaire à la figure 4, d'un sous-ensemble d'une chaise selon une variante de réalisation.
In any case, the invention will be clearly understood with the aid of the description which follows, with reference to the appended diagrammatic drawing representing, by way of nonlimiting example, a preferred embodiment of the chair according to the invention.
  • Figure 3 is a front view;
  • Figure 4 is a top view with partial cutaway of the seat;
  • Figure 5 is a view of several stacked chairs; and
  • Figure 6 is a sectional view similar to Figure 4, of a sub-assembly of a chair according to an alternative embodiment.

Les figures représentent sous différents angles une ou plusieurs chaises 2 essentiellement en bois, qui, conformément au pur style Napoléon III, comprennent des pieds 3 et 4 de section relativement fine. L'extrémité inférieure des pieds avant 3 est évasée vers l'avant et vers l'extérieur tandis que les pieds arrière 4 sont courbés vers l'arrière. La distance séparant les pieds 3 est supérieure à celle séparant les pieds 4.The figures represent from different angles one or more chairs 2 essentially of wood, which, in accordance with the pure Napoleon III style, include legs 3 and 4 of relatively fine section. The lower end of the front legs 3 is flared forward and outward while the rear legs 4 are bent backward. The distance between feet 3 is greater than that between feet 4.

En outre, les pieds 3 et 4 sont reliés par des barreaux avant 5, arrière 6 et latéraux 7.In addition, the legs 3 and 4 are connected by front 5, rear 6 and lateral 7 bars.

Chaque chaise 2 comprend une assise 10 dont les bords latéraux 10a comprennent une courbure 11 de forme convexe à partir de l'avant de la chaise 2, qui s'inverse à environ mi-longueur pour présenter, jusqu'à l'arrière de la chaise 2, une courbure 12 de forme concave.Each chair 2 comprises a seat 10, the lateral edges 10a of which comprise a curvature 11 of convex shape from the front of the chair 2, which reverses at about mid-length to present, up to the rear of the chair 2, a curvature 12 of concave shape.

Les extrémités arrière des barreaux latéraux 7 sont déportées vers l'intérieur au-delà de la verticale des bords latéraux 10a de l'assise 10. Les barreaux 7 sont métalliques et soudés au barreau 6, également métallique.The rear ends of the side bars 7 are offset inwards beyond the vertical of the side edges 10a of the seat 10. The bars 7 are metallic and welded to the bar 6, also metallic.

Les pieds 4 ne sont pas courbés vers l'intérieur mais s'évasent progressivement vers l'extérieur. La distance D1 séparant leur paroi intérieure au niveau des barreaux 6 et 7 est légèrement supérieure à la largeur L1 de l'assise 10, à l'arrière de la chaise 2 et à proximité des pieds 4.The feet 4 are not curved inward but gradually flare outward. The distance D1 separating their inner wall at the level of the bars 6 and 7 is slightly greater than the width L1 of the seat 10, at the rear of the chair 2 and near the feet 4.

La galette 15 est amovible par rapport à la chaise 2. Lorsqu'elle est en place sur cette dernière, elle est simplement emboîtée dans l'assise 10 et fixée à elle au moyen de bandes auto-agrippantes complémentaires de type "Velcro".The wafer 15 is removable relative to the chair 2. When it is in place on the latter, it is simply fitted into the seat 10 and fixed to it by means of complementary self-gripping strips of the "Velcro" type.

Les chaises 2 ainsi conformées peuvent être empilées ainsi que le montre la figure 5. La courbure 12 de l'assise 10 d'une chaise 2 et le déport des extrémités arrière des barreaux 7 permet le passage des pieds 4 d'une autre chaise 2 que l'on empile sur elle, ce passage étant rendu possible par le fait que les pieds 4 ne sont pas courbés vers l'intérieur.The chairs 2 thus shaped can be stacked as shown in Figure 5. The curvature 12 of the seat 10 of a chair 2 and the offset of the rear ends of the bars 7 allows the passage of the legs 4 of another chair 2 that is stacked on it, this passage being made possible by the fact that the feet 4 are not curved inward.

Les barreaux 6 et 7 viennent au contact de l'assise 10, ce qui permet de stabiliser la chaise 2 empilée, et ont une importante surface d'appui sur elle, évitant ainsi de détériorer sa peinture. La galette 15 a été préalablement retirée, et tout risque du marquage de son revêtement par les barreaux 6 et 7 est éliminé.The bars 6 and 7 come into contact with the seat 10, which makes it possible to stabilize the stacked chair 2, and have a large bearing surface on it, thus avoiding damaging its paint. The wafer 15 has been previously removed, and any risk of its coating being marked by the bars 6 and 7 is eliminated.

La distance D1, légèrement supérieure à la largeur L1 précitée, permet un effet d'auto-blocage des chaises empilées, l'assise 10 de la chaise 2 inférieure étant engagée étroitement entre les parois intérieures précitées et avec frottement.The distance D1, slightly greater than the width L1 mentioned above, allows a self-locking effect of stacked chairs, the seat 10 of the lower chair 2 being engaged closely between the above-mentioned interior walls and with friction.

La figure 6 montre une façon avantageuse de réaliser les barreaux de la chaise. Les barreaux latéraux 7 et arrière 6 sont constitués à l'aide d'une seule pièce 20 en forme de U, obtenue par pliage et cintrage d'une barre métallique, dont chaque branche constitue un barreau latéral 7 et dont la partie centrale constitue le barreau arrière 6.Figure 6 shows an advantageous way of making the bars of the chair. The side bars 7 and rear 6 are formed using a single piece 20 in the shape of a U, obtained by bending and bending a metal bar, each branch of which constitutes a side bar 7 and the central part of which forms the rear bar 6.

Des alésages taraudés 21 sont ménagés dans la pièce 20 pour recevoir des vis 22 permettant sa fixation à la chaise 2.Tapped bores 21 are provided in the part 20 to receive screws 22 allowing it to be fixed to the chair 2.

Chacune des extrémités libres des branches du U que forme la pièce 20 est engagée dans un alésage ménagé dans le pied avant 3. Dans cette position, l'alésage taraudé 21 est coaxial à un alésage ménagé dans le pied 3 pour le passage de la vis 22. La vis 22 est ensuite mise en place pour réaliser l'assemblage.Each of the free ends of the branches of the U that the part 20 forms is engaged in a bore formed in the front leg 3. In this position, the threaded bore 21 is coaxial with a bore made in the leg 3 for the passage of the screw 22. The screw 22 is then put in place to carry out the assembly.
