20170355129 · 2017-12-14 ·

A method of manufacturing suspension seating includes providing a blank to be used in a suspension member. The blank has a non-visible marker. The method also includes illuminating the non-visible marker with an excitation source. The non-visible marker becomes detectable when illuminated by the excitation source. The method further includes sensing the non-visible marker with a sensor. The sensor is configured to detect the non-visible marker when illuminated by the excitation source. The method also includes determining, by a controller, a characteristic of the blank using the non-visible marker. The controller is in communication with the sensor and configured to receive information related to the non-visible marker from the sensor. The method further includes adjusting the blank to achieve the desired characteristic.

SEAT MESH FABRIC EASILY AND SECURELY INSTALLED BY INSERTION
20220265050 · 2022-08-25 ·

The present invention belongs to the technical field of seat mesh, in particular to an embedded anti-falling and easy-to-install seat mesh, wherein it comprises a seat body, and a seat reinforcement is fixed to the inner wall of the seat body by welding. A mesh body is laid on the side of the seat body. A mesh connecting rod is fixed at one end of the mesh body. The mesh connecting rod rounds the side of the seat body and embedded into the inner side of the seat reinforcement. During the installation of the mesh, the fixing bolt is removed from the seat reinforcement, and the mesh connecting rod rounds the side of the seat body and embedded into the inner side of the seat reinforcement, i.e. the mesh body is preliminarily fixed. Then, the mesh body is completely fixed on the seat body by turning the fixing bolt on the seat reinforcement. The embedded fixing structure of the mesh can effectively prevent the mesh body from falling and facilitate the installation of the mesh body.

Method for manufacturing a seat and/or backrest in textile covering mounted on a chair tubular chassis and a chair obtained according to said method
20220265062 · 2022-08-25 ·

A method for manufacturing a backrest and/or having a textile covering or the same, and mounted on a chair tubular chassis or the same includes the following steps:

folding the lateral edges of the textile covering and seaming the edges to form lateral sheaths by lateral seam line,

affixing at least three visual markers, (notches), to at least one of the ends of each of the lateral sheaths, a first central notch at the lateral edge of each of sheaths and two peripheral notches on both sides of the respective central notch,

folding the free ends of the sheaths by fitting each central notch between the respective peripheral notches, such that the notches extend facing each other,

seaming the free ends of the sheaths at the folding area of the notches by a transverse seam line, and

turning over the textile covering by bringing out the corners.

MODULAR CHAIR
20220039555 · 2022-02-10 · ·

A modular chair including a support portion to allow the support of a user on it and including a frame and a fabric. The fabric defines a surface suitable to support the user and a perimetral area defined by the edges of the surface. The frame defines, in use, a closed profile and is suitable to support the fabric in tension along at least part of the perimetral area, and comprises at least two parts separate and reciprocally loosely connected by two hinges arranged respectively at the ends of said parts to define a configuration of use in which the parts form the frame and a configuration of rest in which the parts are folded together. The hinges define two respective axes of rotation mutually aligned. The frame tensions the fabric only when the parts are in the configuration of use.

STRETCH FUNCTION-ADDED LOADING SHEET, AND CHAIR PROVIDED HEREWITH
20220232980 · 2022-07-28 ·

This stretch function-added loading sheet is provided with one sheet body and a force crimping unit. The force crimping unit comprises two clamping block plates and one clamping jig, and on one surface of the sheet body, the two clamping block plates are fixed on both sides of a folding centerline on the sheet body. In a state in which the sheet body is folded along the folding centerline such that the two clamping block plates overlap each other with the sheet body on the inside, the clamping jig is fixed to the two clamping block plates so as to clamp the two clamping block plates. The stretch function-added loading sheet has a stretch function with which the sheet body stretches by the clamping jig opening through application of a tensile force perpendicular to the folding centerline to the sheet body, and shrinks when said tensile force is reduced.
