In this respect, the invention; Thanks to its modular structure, it allows for the application of different back designs, shipping, Upholstered furniture frame connection 15, which provides advantages in storage and assembly processes. It offers a technical solution regarding their systems. STATE OF THE ART When examining the frame structures commonly used in upholstered furniture production, it is observed that the back and 20 The seating sections are generally fixed and integrated using wooden frame elements. It is observed that these structures are formed as follows: In these structures, the right and left side supporting elements (counterparts), and the intermediate Support elements and connecting rods are usually joined using fasteners such as nails, screws, staples, or glue. These systems permanently connect the spinal skeleton and the foot. The connections between the structures are also usually made directly with fastening elements. 25 The project is underway, and a demountable or reassemblable structure is not envisioned. One of the most significant problems encountered in current applications is the demountable nature of the skeletal structure. The problem is that it is designed in an unmanageable way. This situation is particularly relevant after production, shipping and This creates significant volumetric disadvantages in storage processes. For example, fixed back 30 A chair or sofa with this structure takes up a large amount of space during transportation, which... This increases transportation costs and reduces logistics efficiency. Furthermore, it affects areas with limited space. Transporting and placing the product in living spaces also becomes more difficult. Another significant shortcoming emerges in the assembly and maintenance processes. Traditional 35 If any part of the system is damaged, the damaged part must be removed. Replacing it is often impossible or requires significant labor. For example, the back. 2 If one element attached to the skeleton breaks, it is often necessary to replace the entire skeleton structure. This may be necessary, leading to cost and time losses. Furthermore, design flexibility is quite limited in existing systems. The back structure is fixed and Being produced as an integrated unit, different back forms and designs can easily be combined on the same body. This prevents its implementation. Manufacturers use separate molds or frame structures for each different design. They have to create these, which complicates production processes and increases costs. It increases. However, the connections between the spinal skeleton and the foot structure must be direct and fixed. 10 This also makes it difficult to make a functional distinction between these two main elements. This situation leads to a loss of flexibility during assembly and also affects the modular design of the product. This prevents its restructuring.
