It is related to technical infrastructure. State of the Art The supporting frame (1) / frame used in seating furniture in the previous technique Their structures are usually separate and fixed for each sofa or seating model. These frameworks are designed to be specific to a particular model or configuration, and vary. It does not allow sofa modules to be assembled on the same frame structure. At the current stage of technological development, existing skeletal structures mostly rely on fixed connection points. It has and these connections are predefined for specific back, arm and seat elements. This prevents the same frame from being used in different modular configurations. A separate frame design or additional adapter parts for each new sofa configuration. It requires. In known methods, the connection located on the supporting skeletons (1) These points are generally single-purpose and only allow for the mounting of a specific element. 25 It is known that all sofa and seating models can be assembled in their frame structures. There are no special, multi-purpose, or universal connection openings. Although some modular systems exist in current applications, the systems used in these applications The frames allow different sofa modules to be assembled compatibly via the same infrastructure. It does not serve as a common platform that enables this. Furthermore, there are 30 similar organizations. Some solutions are limited by using additional parts or temporary adapters on the skeleton. It offers compatibility; however, this increases structural complexity and cost. Previous In technology, a multifunctional assembly of load-bearing frames (1) in modular furniture systems There is no integrated and widespread technical solution that can be used as an infrastructure. 2 Known products, methods, and publications generally consider the skeletal structure as a passive load-bearing element. This involves assembling all sofa and seating modules from the same frame. It does not offer a universal structure with specific connection openings that can be accessed. Previous In seating furniture solutions within the field of technology, especially within the scope of modular systems, There are various technical problems and shortcomings. In current applications, the back, arm and 5 Designing seating elements as separate structural components leads to assembly complexity, This results in limited reconfiguration capabilities and part incompatibilities. The supporting frame structures (1) used in known modular seating systems They generally do not include specially designed, multi-purpose connection openings. This situation, 10 Different sofa and seating modules can be assembled harmoniously on the same frame infrastructure. preventing this; separate skeleton or additional adapter parts for each different configuration. This makes its use mandatory. As a result, production complexity increases, and costs rise. It is increasing and system integrity is weakening. Modularity in current technical solutions To provide this, they are usually fixed connection points, screws or similar permanent mechanical devices. Elements are used. These methods allow the user to reconfigure 15 This makes things more difficult, leads to the need for additional tools, and in the long term causes loosening and misalignment. and can lead to problems such as loss of structural stability. In the previous technique, upholstery and textile replacement was largely done by professional upholstery companies. It depends on the processes involved. Whether the fabrics are glued or permanently fixed; the textile in a home environment, it can be modified by the user in a practical and repeatable way. 20 This hinders maintenance and aesthetic renovation processes, making them costly. The current situation... Although removable casing solutions are available in some applications, these solutions are based on the carrier frame (1) And it is not integrated with modular structures. Furthermore, these systems have the entire sofa mounted on a frame. because it does not offer specific and universal mounting openings where its modules can be assembled, the real In this sense, it does not provide a flexible and expandable modular structure. In this context, the previous 25 The main technical problems encountered in technology are as follows: • Special connection for mounting all sofa and seating modules. the absence of universal load-bearing skeleton (1) structures with openings, • The back, arms, and other functional elements are formed from the same skeletal structure. inability to integrate, 30 • Can be easily reconfigured by the user without tools. inadequacy of modular systems, • Upholstery textiles for home use, without requiring professional processing. inability to be changed, 3 • Modular structure, integrated mechanical connections and textile systems. Lack of a technical solution. Our invention addresses the following shortcomings in the current state of the art. It was created for this purpose. Purpose of the Invention This invention aims to overcome the technical problems mentioned above; all sofas and It has special mounting openings that allow the seating modules to be mounted. carrier frame (1) structure, integrated back-arm modules, reconfigurable mechanical 10 Integrated with a connection system and user-replaceable upholstery / textile system. It aims to offer a technical solution. Description of the Invention This invention is suitable for furniture, especially sofas, seating sets, and modular seating systems.
