Row seats slide. (Machine-translation by Google Translate, not legally binding)

DESCRIPTION

The present invention relates to a sliding row of seats, by means of which it is possible to hide or position a plurality of rows of seats in a conventional room.

There are different places, such as hotels, universities, schools, cultural and sports entities, which require a room with an armchair, to hold conferences, information sessions, meetings and even shows, from time to time. In these circumstances, a room with these characteristics cannot always be available in a stable way, because its use is not profitable, or because there is not enough space available and it is convenient to dedicate the room to other activities that are carried out more regularly.

In order to solve the exposed inconveniences, the sliding row of seats has been devised, which allows to have a seat patio at will, for example seats, or a clear room, with the rows grouped and hidden so that the room can be used for different activities .

The thin seat slide is characterized by the fact that it consists of a beam-like beam on which the seats are mounted, supported by feet provided with two mobile cars, movable along guides placed on the floor in the one who rides the row. One of the cars, at least, has a removable locking device on the road in any position along the same, to immobilize the row in the position that corresponds along the lines.

At least one of the mobile carriages has a rotating longitudinal arm incorporated around an axis located in the carriage, which can take a working position on the road, forming a distance stop in relation to a car in the immediate row, and a folded rest position, in which it remains erect and inoperative.

The rotating arm is articulated by one of its ends to a transverse axis mounted on the corresponding foot, while the opposite end has a wedge-like extension on which a carriage of the immediate row rests. The arm was connected to the foot in question, by means of a bistable articulated fluid dynamic cylinder, which prevents the accidental fall of the arm when it was upright.

The arm is connected to the corresponding foot, by means of a folding compass with a fastener that blocks the extended position in which the arm is in working position, whose fastener has means to unlock the compass at will.

The beam rests on the feet through two kneecap mechanisms, in order to compensate for the buckling of the beam.

In addition to the feet provided with a mobile carriage, the beam has built-in feet provided with mobile shoes, which can adopt a working position in which they stand on the foot and rest against the floor and a resting position in which they remain separated from it. The shoes are linked to a drive mechanism at will, these feet completing some wheels to facilitate their movement on the floor.

For the best understanding of how much is described herein, some drawings are attached in which, as sofo as an example, a practical case of realizing the sliding row of seats is represented.

In said drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of a row of seats with the seats folded; Figure 2 is a side elevational view of two rows of seats with the separator arm in working position; Figure 3 is a view similar to Figure 2 with two rows located in rest position, one next to the other; Figure 4 is a detail in longitudinal section of one of the feet provided with a mobile carriage, with the separating arm in working position; Figure 5 is a longitudinal sectional view from Figure 4; Figure 6 is a partially sectioned front elevation view, from Figure 4, Figure 7 is a longitudinal sectional view of a foot provided with shoes; and Figure 8 is a cross-sectional view of the same foot represented in Figure 7.

The sliding row of seats in question consists in the drawings of a beam or beam (1), on which seats or seats of general reference (2) are arranged, with the seat (3) proper and the arms (4), folding when not in use, in order to reduce the space they occupy when they are extended on request for use.

The beam (1) is supported by feet (5) incorporated into a carriage (6) movable along profiles or tracks (7) with a rib (7a) (figure 4). These feet are provided with a concave support (8) for a wheel (9) of the beam (1), in order to correct the buckling that forms the beam due to the weight of the seats (2) and the weight of its occupants.

In the carriage (6) a rotating arm (10) is articulated by one end (11) around an axis (12). At the end of the arm opposite the end (11), there is a wedge-shaped extension (13) and a roller (14), which may have a groove (14a) that matches the rib (7a) (Figure 4).

At the end (11) of the arm there is a projection (15), in which an end of a dynamic fluid cylinder (16) is articulated, articulated by the opposite end at an upper point of the foot (5). In this same projection an end of a compass (17) of adjustable length is articulated, with the opposite end articulated to an axis (18) located at the bottom of the foot (5). This compound has a notch (19) and a trigger (20) that constitute a fastener that blocks it when it is in extended request, which corresponds to the extended arm position (10). To unlock the compass and be able to lift the arm (10) it is necessary to use conventional tool not shown.

When the arm (10) is extended along the guru (7), a spacer element between the consecutive rows is included, so that the chock (13) serves as a limit stop for the positivity of such rows (Figure 2). ). When the arm in question is folded up, the rows are unlocked and can be grouped as shown in Figure 3). The cylinder (16) keeps the positivity of the folded arm upward stable.

In addition to the feet (5), the beam (1) has complementary feet (21), equipped with lower rollers (22) and shoes (23), mounted on levers (24), which allow the shoes to be placed in a working position resting against the floor, or separated from it, so as not to hinder the movement of the rows along the guides (7).

As can be deduced from all of the above and by observing the drawing, the seat rows can adopt a perfectly stable position of use. In addition, when it is necessary to clear the room in which the rows of previously unblocked seats are located, they move along the guides (7), to place them grouped in a place where they do not interfere, for example under a dais or similar. This ensures that the same room can have different uses, with or without seats, according to the needs of each case.

The materials used in the manufacture of the components of the row, their shapes and dimensions and all the accessory details that may arise, as long as they affect their essentiality, are independent of the object of the invention.
