Embodiment Construction

[0017] In the following description, methods and devices for constructing structurally flexible, structurally simple and light-weight deformable and / or portable furniture based on integrated hinges connecting items of a furniture assembly or the like are set forth as preferred examples. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that modifications, including additions and / or substitutions, can be made without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention. Certain details may be omitted so as not to obscure the present invention; however, this disclosure has been written to enable one skilled in the art to practice the teachings herein without undue experimentation.

[0018] refer to Figure 1A , 1B and 1C. According to various embodiments of the invention, a rigid structure may be a structure that is arranged as Figure 1A The two rods 1 and 2 of the cruciform structure shown in ; are arranged as Figure 1B Two rods 1 and 2 in a 'V' configuration shown in ; two rods arr...

Abstract

An integrated hinge for connecting an article of a furniture assembly to one or more articles or a main body of the furniture assembly comprising a multi-rod rigid structure and a flexible membrane. The multi-rod rigid structure comprises two or more rods arranged in a default shape, wherein each of the rods functions as a hinge arm, and wherein the rods are lateral-rotatable or pivot-able about an intersecting or meeting point of the rods. The flexible membrane has a three-dimensional contour configured to wrap around the multi-rod rigid structure tightly, fixing the multi-rod rigid structure in its default shape. The flexible membrane can be configured to wrap around the integrated hinge and articles of furniture assembly forming a single integrated furniture piece. The elasticity in the flexible membrane turns the integrated hinge into a spring hinge.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to furniture and its manufacture. More specifically, the present invention relates to transformable, portable and foldable furniture. Background technique [0002] As modern urban living areas become smaller, transformable furniture has become popular because a space-saving piece of furniture may perform different functions depending on its configuration. Most deformable furniture, such as coffee shop convertible tables, usually have moving parts to achieve a flexible structure. Similarly, portable furniture that collapses for ease of storage and transport incorporates at least some form of collapsible or telescopic assembly to allow for contraction and deformation. These assemblies are typically implemented through the use of mechanical hinges and joints that connect items of furniture such as beams and panels. However, furniture constructed from these assemblies requires greater structural complexity and a g...
