Benefits of technology

"The present invention provides a structure for mounting a mesh-like support member to a main frame to increase manufacturing efficiency. This structure is suitable for various chair coverings such as seat, backrest, or head covering. The main frame is made of two frames, with the first frame being softer and more comfortable for the user, while the second frame being harder and bearing the user's weight. The mesh-like support member is mounted between the connection portions of the frames or appropriately on the first or second frame. This results in a more stable and comfortable chair covering that provides better support and comfort for the user."

Problems solved by technology

However, none of the abovementioned prior art patents provides a structure capable of directly mounting the mesh-like support member to a frame, wherein the frame comprises a soft frame and a hard frame.
Further, none of the abovementioned prior art patents provides a one-piece frame having both the soft frame and the hard frame with the mesh-like support member mounted to the frame as well.

first embodiment

[0024]Please refer to both FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, wherein FIG. 2 is the present invention which illustrates a cross-sectional drawing of the chair covering according to FIG. 1.

[0025]The main frame 20 includes a first frame 30 and a second frame 40, wherein the material of the first frame 30 is softer than the material of the second frame 40.

[0026]The first frame 30 includes a first outer side 31 and a first joint face 32. The first frame 30 utilizes softer material because a user would directly touch the first outer side 31 of the first frame 30; therefore, the user could feel more comfortable with the softer material. For example, the material of the first frame 30 is thermoplastic rubber, polyurethane, soft thermoplastic elastomer, or the like.

[0027]The second frame 40 includes a second outer side 41 and a second joint face 42. The material of the second frame 40 is harder than that of the first frame 30, such that the second frame 40 can better support the shape of the main frame 20,...

second embodiment

[0033]In the second embodiment, the periphery 51 of the mesh-like support member 50 of the chair covering 10a is placed in an appropriate portion of the first frame 30. Because the first frame 30 utilizes the softer material, the mesh-like support member 50 would result in more deformation when being pressured.

[0034]While in the first and third embodiments, the mesh-like support member 50 would result in less deformation when being pressured because the second frame 40 could directly bear the pressure.

[0035]Further, although the cross-sectional drawings illustrated in FIGS. 2˜4 correspond to the seat covering 6 in FIG. 1, please note that either the backrest covering 5 or the head covering 7 has the same cross-sectional drawings as illustrated in FIGS. 2˜4.

Abstract

A chair covering includes a main frame and a mesh-like support member. The chair covering is a seat covering, backrest covering, or head covering. The main frame includes a first frame and a second frame, wherein the material of the first frame is softer than that of the second frame. The periphery of the mesh-like support member is mounted between the connection portions of the first frame and the second frame, an appropriated portion of the first frame, or an appropriated portion of the second frame.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to a chair covering having a mesh-like support member, wherein the chair covering is a seat covering, a backrest covering or a head covering.[0003]2. Description of the Related Art[0004]Nowadays, mesh-like support members are applied to more and more seat coverings, backrest coverings or head coverings of chairs. A mesh-like support member is a covering having a plurality of holes or a plurality of long-shaped slotted holes. Accordingly, the mesh-like support member provides ventilation effect. Further, because the mesh-like support member can provide appropriate elasticity, no more heavy cushion is required; therefore, the mesh-like support member is also eco-friendly.[0005]The structure of mounting the mesh-like support member to a frame is very important because firmness of the mesh-like support member and manufacturing efficiency of a chair are all involved in the structure.[0006]In U.S...
