Definitions
- This invention relates to furniture construction. More particularly it relates to furniture intended to be used out of doors which is made of a wooden framework and which has plastic straps providing bottom support and back support, such straps being extending between side members of the framework.
- FIG. 1 is-a view in perspective of a chaise constructed in accordance with the present invention
- FIG. 2 is a top plan view of the back rest portion of the chaise of FIG. 1;
- FIG. 3 is a view in cross section taken along the line 33 of FIG. 2 showingthe means by which the plastic straps are mounted;
- FIG. 4A is an edge view, as seen from the left of FIG. 4B, of one of the mounting rails employed to anchor the straps;
- FIG. 4B is a view in elevation of the same rail
- FIG. 5 is a fragmentary cross sectional view showing in detail how the straps are mounted on the frame members
- FIG. 6 is a similar fragmentary view showing an alternative means of mounting the straps.
- FIG. 7 is a view taken along the line 7-7 of FIG. 5.
- the chaise 10 comprises a backrest 11 and a horizontal seating or reclining portion 12.
- the horizontal portion 12 comprises side frame members 13 and end frame members 15 and 16 which are secured together in rectangular arrangement by any suitable means.
- Legs 17 are provided at the front and legs 18 at the back on which wheels 19 are rotatably mounted as by means of axles 20 so that the chaise can be picked up. from the front end and wheeled about.
- the back rest 11 comprises side frame members 26, an upper end frame member 27 and a lower end frame member 27a (the latter frame member is shown in FIG. 2).
- the lower ends of the side frame members 26 are rotatably connected to side frame members 14 of the seating portion 13 by means of pins 28.
- Diagonal supports 29 (one of which is shown in FIG. 1) are provided to support the back rest 11 in a suitably inclined position, each such member being suitably connected at its top to respective side member 26 of the back rest 11 and at its lower end to respective side member 14 of the seating portion 13.
- the support members 29 may be adjustable so as to permit varying the angle of the back rest 11 from a horizontal position to a more nearly vertical position.
- FIGS. 2 and 3 a strap arrangement is there shown and is illustrated with reference to the back rest 11. However this same strap arrangement and the same means of mounting it are applied to the seating portion 13. Aswill be seen straps 35 are provided, such being of any desired material, e.g., hard rubber,
- heavy cloth or sheet metal but preferably they are of plastic construction and most advantageously they are constructed of a material such as a vinyl plastic which has certain stretching properties as described hereinafter.
- Polyvinyl chloride is a suitable plastic; it is easily stretched when heated and returns to its original dimension or dimensions upon cooling.
- each of the mounting rails 36 has a flat, platelike body portion 37 and extending from one edge thereof are hooks 39 each having a curved end 39a.
- Mounting holes 38 are provided in the body portion 37.
- each of the side members 26 is formed with sockets 41, one of which is shown in FIG. 5, to receive dowels 42 which are anchored in place by means of a suitable glue such as a phenolformaldehyde glue.
- a suitable glue such as a phenolformaldehyde glue.
- a cap screw 43 which extends through one of the holes 38 in the mounting rail 36 and is threaded into the dowel as shown.
- each end of each strap 35 is formed with a hole 44 which fits over the curved end portion 39a of the respective book 39.
- Each end of each strap is thus an chored so that the strap is firmly supported at both ends and spans the distance between the rails 36.
- FIG. 6 An alternative and preferred construction is shown in FIG. 6 wherein, instead of a dowel such as shown at 42 in FIG. 5, a lag screw 50 is provided which is screwed into the respective frame member 26.
- a spacer member 51 is provided to space the mounting rail from the side frame member. Typically this spacing may be about three-eighths inch.
- the framework 11 or 12 is formed in the usual manner and prior to after it is formed the mounting rails 36 are installed in the manner shown in FIG. 5 or FIG. 6. Then the straps 35 are applied. If these straps are elastic they may be stretched so that after they are mounted on the hooks 39 of the mounting rails 36 they will be taut. However, it is preferred to use a material such as the aforesaid vinyl material which has the property of being readily stretched when heated and which contracts when cooled to ambient temperature. The straps 35 are heated sufficiently to be capable of easy stretching, they are then stretched and mounted in the manner indicated and then they are allowed to cool so as to become taut.
- a seating-reclining structure comprising a frame having a pair of spaced, opposing side members; a mounting rail for each side member affixed to its respective side member on that side of such member facing the other side member, each said rail being spaced from its side member to permit insertion-and removal of the ends of straps, each said mounting rail having at its lower edge a plurality of spaced, projecting fingers adapted to receive openings in the ends of straps; said structure also comprising a plurality of straps made of a plastic material which stretches in length when heated and contracts when cooled, each such strap having an opening at each end adapted to receive one of said fingers; each said strap being mounted by means of such openings on a pair of such fingers one of which is on one of said mounting rails and the other is on the other of said rails.
