Description

  The present invention relates to a seat chair for home use, and more particularly to a cushion-type seat chair used by placing a seat portion directly on a floor surface.

Conventionally, as this type of cushion-type seat chair, those shown in Patent Documents 1 and 2 below are widely known.
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2003-24168 JP 2006-340876 A

  These conventionally known seating chairs basically have a cushioning seat portion and a backrest portion connected to the rear edge thereof via an articulated metal fitting, and the backrest portion is gradually or at an arbitrary inclination angle. It is a reclining type that can be adjusted steplessly, and is used as a simple auxiliary tool for cross sitting or sitting on the table or watching TV.

  However, recently, due to housing conditions and economic reasons, or due to changes in indoor living preferences, multiple cushion-type seat chairs are arranged as simple furniture to replace the original large sofa and reception set. It tends to be increasingly used instead of an easy chair and for resting on the side.

  However, the individual seats are independent not only when they are placed side by side on the floor surface of the room, but also when they are placed side by side along the wall surface of the room. In addition, the positional stability of the installation-like body is inferior, and the adjacent chairs are often separated from each other. In addition, even when the backrest is extended to a horizontal state and used as a flat mat-like laying material, the two seats arranged side by side are likely to be separated from each other. There was a difficult point.

  The present invention focuses on the new trends in usage and application of seat chairs of the recent, especially younger generations as described above, and matches the size and shape of the chair installation space in the indoor space. It is possible to install two or more chairs side by side in a combined state of two or three or more, and can be conveniently used for applications similar to sofas as general furniture, and adjacent chairs In addition to being able to realize a favorable feeling of use without excessive interference, it is also easy to use in situations where it is used for recumbent rest as a flat cushioned mat-like covering material in a deployed state It is an object of the present invention to provide a cushion-type seat chair that can be realized.

  Based on the above problems, the inventor has conducted various experiments and researches to solve the problem, and as a result, the seats installed next to each other are loosened, especially at the left and right edges of the seat. As a result of being able to be connected to such a mode, it has been found that the intended purpose can be fully achieved with the simplest structural modification, and the present invention has been completed.

  Thus, the present invention presents the following means for solving the above problems.

[1] A cushion-type seat chair that can be used by being placed directly on the floor, and the angle of the backrest is adjustable.
A connectable cushion-type seat chair, characterized in that connecting means is provided on both left and right side edges of the seat portion so as to be connectable and separable with the corresponding side edge of the seat portion of the adjacent seat chair.

  [2] The connecting means includes a connecting piece made of a flexible material protruding outward from both side edges of the seat portion, and a fastener provided at an outer end portion of the connecting piece [1] ] The cushion type seat chair which can be connected.

  [3] The preceding item, wherein the connecting piece in the connecting means is formed of a belt-like cloth piece, and one side edge portion of the base end side is attached to the side surface portion of the seat portion so as to cover almost the entire length of the seat portion. The connectable cushion seat chair according to [2].

  [4] The connecting piece according to any one of [1] to [3], wherein the connecting piece protrudes outward from the side surface portion of the seat portion within a range of 20 to 50 mm, and a fastener is provided at a tip portion thereof. The connectable cushion seat chair as described.

  [5] The connectable cushion type seat chair according to any one of [1] to [4], wherein the fastener is a wire fastener.

  The seat chairs according to the present invention can be used in exactly the same usage applications without changing from conventional ordinary cushion-type seat chairs one by one. At that time, there is no inferiority in appearance because only a slight attachment of the connecting means is recognized on both side surfaces of the seat.

  In addition, when two or more seats according to the present invention are installed side by side, adjacent seats can be connected to each other at both side edges of the seats. Therefore, in this connected state, the adjacent unit seat chairs are not easily separated, the positional stability in the installed state can be maintained well, and there is no fear of deteriorating the appearance. Moreover, even when one person or two or more persons are seated and used, the parallel installation state is not disturbed, and it is comfortable to use and has good appearance to maintain good stability.

  In addition, under the above-mentioned connected state, by depressing the backrest part of each seated chair to a substantially horizontal state or a nearly horizontal inverted state, a large area by two or more consecutive seats can be obtained. A cushion-like mat-like covering material can be formed. Moreover, since the covering material having a large area is interconnected by a half portion of the seat portion, the whole of the covering material maintains good integrity. Therefore, it is convenient not only for appearance but also for lying down on the flooring or performing stretching exercises.

  Further, when the connecting means is composed of a protruding connecting piece made of a flexible material and a fastener, the adjacent chairs are directly integrated into a mechanically secured state in the connected state. In this way, a loose coupling state that allows a slight relative displacement is realized. Therefore, in the case where two or more adjacent seats are used by different persons and used simultaneously, the movement of the user of one seat directly affects the other seat. Prevented or mitigated. In other words, the movement of one adjacent chair does not directly interfere with the other chair and does not interfere with each other. There is no.

  Further, when the connecting piece is constituted by a belt-like cloth piece and one side edge thereof is attached to the side surface portion of the seat part over the entire length, the connected state of the adjacent seat chairs connected to each other is It is advantageous that the stability can be made sufficiently good and that the connecting piece can be attached simultaneously with the sewing work outside the seat.

  Further, by setting the protruding length of the connecting piece in a range of 20 to 50 mm, adjacent seats can be connected in a necessary and sufficient loose state while preventing excessive separation. It can be done.

  Furthermore, when a wire fastener composed of a tape, an element (service tooth), and a slider is used as the fastener, it is easy to connect the chairs together, and it is strong and reliable that the connection state is not inadvertently separated. It can be done.

  Next, a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

  1 is a perspective view showing a use state in which two unit seats (1) and (1) according to the present invention are placed on a floor surface in a connected state, and FIG. 2 is a plan view thereof, FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view taken along line III-III and line IV-IV in FIG.

  As shown in these drawings, a seat chair (1) constituting one unit according to the present invention has a required large seat portion (2) made in a cushion mat shape and a backrest connected to a rear edge thereof. Part (3). As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the two parts (2) and (3) are configured such that an internal metal seat frame (20) and back frame (30) are connected via a joint fitting (40) called a ratchet fitting. As a result, the relative angle can be variably adjusted. Specifically, with respect to the seat portion (2) held in a horizontal state, the backrest portion (3) is positioned in the same plane as the seat portion as indicated by a chain line in FIG. To an upright state rising vertically, it can be variably set to an arbitrary inclination angle. The seat portion (2) and the backrest portion (3) include the metal frame (20) (30), and a first cushion material (4) made of a slightly rigid urethane foam panel or chip is disposed on the lower surface side. The second cushion material (5) made of flexible urethane foam is arranged on the upper surface side, and the whole is manufactured by covering and sewing with a cloth outer skin (6).

  The above configuration is the same as the configuration of a conventionally known seat.
