Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0019] In order to more clearly understand the technical idea claimed by the present invention, the present invention will be further described below in combination with the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0020] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, the integrally compressible sofa of the present invention includes a sofa body supported by at least compressible springs, and the sofa body can be completely compressed.

[0021] The advantages of the present invention are as follows. By installing a sofa that can be completely compressed as a whole, when transporting the sofa, it can be completely compressed and then packaged for transportation, which is beneficial for the transportation of the sofa. At the same time, since the sofa can be integrally compressed, after transporting the compressed sofa to the place where it needs to be placed, it can be restored to its original shape simply by unpacking without reinstalling, which is beneficial for quick use.

[0022] Furthermore, the sofa body includes a base 101, a backrest 102, and armrests 103. The base 101, backrest 102, and armrests 103 are all supported by compressible springs 1 and formed thereby, and all the springs 1 are parallel to each other.

[0023] More specifically, by installing the base 101, backrest 102, and armrests 103 formed by arranging the springs 1 side by side, the sofa body can be completely compressed simply by compressing the sofa body along the expansion and contraction direction of the springs.

[0024] Furthermore, a plurality of the springs 1 are arranged along the front-back, left-right directions to form a spring layer, and at least one layer of spring layer is arranged along the up-down direction to form the base 101 / backrest 102 / armrests 103.

[0025] More specifically, by arranging the springs 1 in the front-back and left-right directions to form a spring layer, all the springs 1 are parallel to each other, and when compressing, the sofa body can be compressed simply by compressing the expansion and contraction direction of the springs.

[0026] Furthermore, the spring 1 is a pocket spring wrapped in a non-woven fabric bag.

[0027] More specifically, by enclosing the spring 1 in a nonwoven fabric bag 6, the height of all the springs after they are placed in the nonwoven fabric bag 6 is controlled by the bag 6, thereby enabling the production of spring layers of the same height but with different elasticity as needed to meet the needs of different people.

[0028] Furthermore, an auxiliary material layer 4 is placed between two adjacent spring layers.

[0029] Furthermore, by installing an auxiliary material layer 4 between the two spring layers, it is possible to effectively avoid the problem of the two springs being excessively compressed when the two spring layers installed above and below are compressed, which could damage the cloth bag or cause the springs to become exposed, resulting in a defective product.

[0030] Furthermore, the auxiliary material layer 4 is a compressible soft material.

[0031] Preferably, the auxiliary material layer 4 is manufactured using a material such as springs, rubber, or fabric, which is highly flexible and advantageous for the integrated compression of the sofa.

[0032] Furthermore, the base 101 further includes a soft material 2 and a wrapping layer 3, the upper surface of the base is covered with the soft material 2, and the base covered with the soft material 2 is placed within the wrapping layer 3.

[0033] More specifically, by installing the soft material 2, the top surface of the sofa becomes more easily accessible to people, improving the comfort of the sofa.

[0034] More specifically, by installing the wrapping layer 3, damage to the pocket springs 1 during transport or use can be prevented, extending the lifespan of the sofa.

[0035] Furthermore, a filling layer 7 is provided within the wrapping layer 3, and the filling layer 7 is compressible along the compression direction of the spring 1.

[0036] More specifically, by installing the installation filling layer 7, the internal structure of the wrapping layer 3 becomes more compact, and the elasticity of the sofa body becomes better.

[0037] Furthermore, the soft material 2 is a sponge.

[0038] More specifically, sponge has the advantages of being highly compressible, soft, and pleasant to the touch, which is advantageous for compressing and transporting the sofa itself, as well as for the comfort of the sofa.

[0039] Furthermore, the structure of the base 101, backrest 102, and armrest 103 is similar, and after assembling the base 101, backrest 102, and armrest 103 as a sofa, all of the pocket springs 1 in the base 101, backrest 102, and armrest 103 are positioned vertically.

[0040] More specifically, the structures of the base 101, backrest 102, and armrest 103 are similar, resulting in a simpler overall structure for the sofa, which is advantageous for mass and rapid production of sofas.

[0041] At the same time, since the springs in the base 101, backrest 102, and armrest 103 are all vertical pocket springs 1, when compressing the sofa, it is only necessary to compress it completely from top to bottom, which is advantageous for rapid compression.

[0042] Furthermore, the base 101, backrest 102, and armrest 103 are bonded together to form a structure, and the backrest 102 and armrest 103 are provided above the base 101, while the armrest 103 is provided to the side of the backrest 102.

[0043] More specifically, the base 101, backrest 102, and armrests 103 are bonded together to ensure the airtightness of the sofa body and prevent the base 101, backrest 102, and armrests 103 from separating during compression or transport of the sofa.

[0044] Furthermore, removable legs 5 are installed on the bottom surface of the base 101.

[0045] More specifically, by installing removable legs 5, when the sofa body needs to be compressed, the legs can be removed to avoid affecting the compression of the sofa body, which is advantageous for compressing and transporting the sofa.

[0046] Figure 1 shows one embodiment of the present invention, in which the sofa is an assembly-type sofa consisting of a first sofa body and a second sofa body. When it is necessary to transport the sofa, the first sofa body and the second sofa body can be compressed separately as a single unit, and when it is necessary to use the sofa, the compressed state can be released and the entire first sofa and the entire second sofa can be arranged as shown in the figure.

[0047] In the case of other sofa frames with a simpler structure, there is no need to combine them; a single sofa frame is sufficient, and in this case, the sofa is compressed and transported as a single unit.

[0048] Furthermore, in the description of this invention, the directions or positional relationships indicated by up, down, front, back, left, right, etc., are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the drawings and are merely for the purpose of making the explanation of this invention easier to understand and to simplify the explanation. It is important to understand that these do not indicate or imply that the indicated device or element necessarily has a specific direction, or that it is configured and operates in a specific direction, and therefore should not be understood as limiting the invention.

[0049] Those skilled in the art can make various other corresponding modifications and variations based on the technical solutions and ideas described above, and all such modifications and variations should fall within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
