Description

Title of the invention: FURNITURE WITH ELASTIC SUPPORT STRUCTURES Technical field

[0001] The present utility model relates to the field of outdoor furniture, in particular furniture with elastic support structures. CONTEXT

[0002] Fishing beds and fishing chairs are essential equipment for carp fishing abroad. This equipment can greatly improve the comfort and enjoyment of anglers while fishing. Fishing beds and chairs consist primarily of two main parts in terms of their structure: a metal frame and a soft surface. The combination of the soft surface and the metal frame is mainly achieved by attaching cowhide leather cords to the metal frame, by threading the soft surface directly onto the frame, or by securing the soft surface to the frame with fabric. The aforementioned technical solution provides relatively unique support for the soft surface in terms of structure and has an insufficient support effect.After prolonged use, the soft surface will sag, making it difficult to stand up, and there is also a technical issue related to a poor overall comfort experience. SUMMARY

[0003] To address the technical problems mentioned above, the primary objective of this utility model is to provide elastic support structures for furniture. Furniture with elastic support structures is equipped with an elastic support assembly on the back of the flexible support surface layer, in the direction of the support. This elastic support assembly not only enhances the elastic support effect but also resolves a technical problem related to insufficient support. Furthermore, it can also address existing technical issues, such as the sagging of the flexible surface after prolonged use, making it difficult to stand up and resulting in a generally poor user experience.

[0004] In order to solve the above technical problem, the present invention uses the following technical solutions.

[0005] Furniture with elastic support structures includes a frame for delimiting an elastic support zone, and a flexible support surface layer, in which the flexible support surface layer is arranged within the elastic support zone and the edges of the flexible support surface layer are fixed to the frame; in which a rear side of the flexible support surface layer in the support direction is provided with an elastic support assembly, and the edges of the elastic support assembly are permanently fixed to the frame; and the upper ends of the elastic support assembly support the flexible support surface layer.

[0006] The present utility model uses the technical solution mentioned above, which relates to furniture with elastic support structures. The furniture with elastic support structures uses a frame delimiting an elastic support zone. Inside the elastic support zone, a flexible support surface layer is first fixed and covered on top, and the flexible support surface layer provides a support force.

[0007] The further improvement over the prior art lies in the fact that the elastic support assembly is located on the rear side of the flexible support surface layer in the support direction. The edges of the elastic support assembly are fixed to the frame, and the main central part of the elastic support assembly serves to support the flexible support surface layer located above it. In this way, the elastic support assembly not only improves the elastic support effect, resolving the technical problem of weak support, but also addresses existing technical problems such as the collapse of the flexible surface after long-term use, making it difficult to stand up, and resulting in relatively poor overall user comfort.

[0008] In specific embodiments, the frame comprises at least two beams arranged opposite each other, and the elastic support assembly comprises a plurality of elastic support components, with two ends of each elastic support component respectively fixed to the beams on both sides. In this technical solution, the frame must comprise at least two beams, such that the two ends of the elastic support components are permanently fixed to the beams, thereby ensuring stable support for the flexible support surface layer above.

[0009] In one embodiment, the elastic support component is designed in the form of an S-spring, and the two ends of the S-spring are respectively fixed to the beams on both sides.

[0010] In another embodiment, the elastic support component is designed in the form of a strip, and the two ends thereof are respectively fixed to the beams on both sides.

[0011] In specific embodiments, a fixing sleeve is designed on the rear side of the surface layer of the flexible support. At least a portion of the elastic support component is located inside the fixing sleeve, and the The two ends of the elastic support assembly are attached to the beams on either side. In the preferred embodiment, the elastic support component (such as an S-spring or a band) is inserted into the mounting sleeve, and the two ends of the S-spring or band extend from the mounting sleeve and are permanently fixed to the beams on either side. Using the above-mentioned technical solution, the flexible support surface layer is positioned with the S-springs or bands underneath, thus preventing misalignment of the flexible support surface layer with the S-springs or bands below, while also contributing to force dispersion.

[0012] Preferably, fixing pins are attached to the beams on both sides of the frame, and the fixing pins are inserted through the beams with their inner ends protruding from the beams. One inner end of the fixing pin has a connecting hole, and one end of the elastic support component (such as an S-spring) is suspended in the connecting hole of the fixing pin. The technical solution of suspending the S-spring by means of a fixing pin allows for the stable positioning of the end of the S-spring, and simplifies the disassembly and assembly of the structures.

[0013] In specific embodiments, the flexible support surface layer can be fixed to the frame by at least one of the following three means: either by threading the edges of the flexible support surface layer onto the frame, or by attaching the edges of the flexible support surface layer to the frame using tie cords, or by constructing a strip-shaped groove on the upper end surface of the frame, strip-shaped rods being provided on the edges of the flexible support surface layer, the strip-shaped rod being able to be embedded and fixed in the strip-shaped groove.

[0014] The flexible support surface layer in the aforementioned embodiment can be made of materials such as mesh fabric, soft cloth, etc.

[0015] The S-spring in the technical solution mentioned above is also called a spiral spring, tension spring or spiral tension spring.

[0016] Preferably, the furniture with elastic support structures also includes a support; the frame is provided on the support to delimit and form the elastic support zone. The furniture frame mentioned above uses furniture with an elastic support structure, which improves the elastic support strength of the furniture's seating surface, increases seating comfort, and extends the service life of the flexible support surface layer.

[0017] In the specific technical solution, the elastic support zone delimited by the frame includes a seat support zone intended to support at least one buttock and the surrounding legs, as well as a back support zone intended to support at least the lower back. Both the seating and back support areas utilize flexible support surface layers, along with elastic support assemblies that support these flexible support surface layers. The furniture frame structure described above can be used as a seat frame, chair frame, or bed frame. The elastic support areas include both the seating and back support areas. Both the seating and back support areas utilize furniture with elastic support structures, which can be used to enhance seating comfort and extend the lifespan of the flexible support surface layer.

[0018] In addition, the outer parts of the seat support area and the back support area are at least wrapped with a flexible wrapping layer.
