Benefits of technology

[0011] In order to increase attachment of the frame-engaging profiles to the webbing material, it is advantageous that the webbing has a roughened texture at least at zones attached to the frame-engaging profiles. Alternatively, or in addition, this may be obtained by forming said zones with pores, whereby material of the frame-engaging profiles penetrates through the webbing to thereby increase mechanical engagement therebetween. Furthermore, the frame-engaging profile may sandwich edges of the webbing whereby such sandwiching may be obtained by penetration through the webbing.
[0015] In accordance with a particular embodiment, during the molding process, the material of the frame-engaging profiles penetrates through the webbing to thereby increase mechanical engagement therebetween.

Problems solved by technology

However, in accordance with another embodiment, the frame-engaging profiles are non uniform and are attachable one by one to the receiving frame.

Embodiment Construction

[0025]FIG. 1 illustrates an armchair generally designated 10 of the type commonly used as garden furniture, and which comprises several frame components namely legs 12, armrests 14, a seat 16, and a backrest 18, which in the present example is inclinable between several respective positions.

[0026] In the present embodiment the frame components are made of molded plastic material though this is not necessarily the case and the frame components may be made, for example, of wood, metal, etc., or of a combination of several such materials.

[0027] Furthermore, the chair may be collapsible and / or stackable, as known with such plastic chairs which are often referred to also as “garden furniture” and “garden chairs”, respectively.

[0028] As can further be seen in FIG. 1, the seat 16 and the backrest 18 comprise a support portion 24 and 26, respectively, which as will be explained hereinafter in more detail are made of flexible webbing attached to the respective frame.

[0029] For the sake o...

Abstract

A furniture item and a method for its manufacture, the item comprising at least one support portion, said at least one support portion (24,26) comprising a receiving frame (30) and a support member (50) comprising a webbing (54) made of flexible material fitted at its edges with frame-engaging profiles (56) formed with first engaging members (66) for secure engagement with corresponding second engaging members (32) of the receiving frame (30); the invention characterized in that said frame-engaging profiles (56) are integrally molded with said webbing (54).

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention is generally concerned with furniture and more specifically it is concerned with applying a webbing such as a seat portion, a backrest, etc. to the furniture frame. [0002] Hereinafter in the specification the term “furniture” denotes any type of furniture used for seating such as, for example, chairs, armchairs, rocking chairs, stools, seats, sofas, garden furniture, etc. [0003] The term “webbing” as used herein in the specification and claims denotes a flexible surface of the furniture suitable for supporting a person using the furniture, e.g. a seat, a backrest, a leg rest, etc. Such webbing may be typically made of a uniform material or made of flaps, typically transversing one another. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0004] A variety of methods exist for attaching webbing to a furniture's frame, to thereby provide a comfortable and pleasant support surface serving, e.g. as a seat portion or a backrest.
