Seating Furniture

Abstract

The seating furniture (1) configures a bench including two side frame members (2a, 2b), each having two legs (3) connected to a seat-supporting cross member (4) from which a backrest-supporting post (6) upwardly extend. Seat slats (16) are connected to the cross members (4) and backrest slats connected to the posts (6). The seat slats (16) are secured to first planar profiles (17) forming a seat assembly (5) which is secured to the cross members (4) by first mounting screws inserted in through holes of the cross member (4), and the backrest slats are secured at their ends to second planar profiles forming a backrest assembly which is secured to the posts (6) by second mounting screws inserted in through holes of the posts.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The object of the present invention relates to a seating furniture, particularly to a single-seater or multi-seater seating furniture, such as a bench, envisaged for public areas.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Pieces of seating furniture of the type called a bench, usually installed in parks, gardens, lobbies and in a plurality of public places and even in domestic settings, are well known. Said benches are usually formed by two end side frame members linked to one another by a surface forming a seat assembly and another surface forming a backrest assembly. The side frame members can optionally include respective support members for corresponding arms of the same user (in the case of a single-seater bench) or of users sitting at respective ends (in the case of a multi-seater bench).[0003]Document ES 1046700 U describes a street furniture seat comprising side frame members made of cast iron and seating and backrest surfaces formed by wooden slats connect...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The patent text is about a new system for mounting seating furniture on a ship. The system is designed to make it easy and quick to mount the furniture without mistakes. This is important because the seat and backrest slats are not all the same, so they need to be installed in the correct position. Otherwise, it would take multiple screws and be difficult to install. Overall, this system simplifies the process of mounting seating furniture on a ship.

Problems solved by technology

A drawback of this street furniture seat is that the side frame members include a plurality of projecting appendages where said wooden slats are supported, which wooden slats are provided for such purpose with corresponding end cuts and recesses fitting with said projecting appendages, making the seat construction significantly complex.

A drawback of these benches of the prior art is that their packaging and corresponding transport to a ship-to party is expensive and complicated due to their considerable volume and the virtual impossibility of stacking them on top of one another and gaining dead spaces for thus reducing said volume.

This drawback is intensified if the benches have considerable length.

If the benches are packaged and transported in a dismantled state, the large number and variety of parts mean that the subsequent mounting by the ship-to party is difficult, expensive and prone to errors.
