Easy assembly outdoor sofa

Abstract

An easy assembly outdoor sofa is disclosed, comprising such components of a base and a backrest (or armrest). The plane of the base extends horizontally to form a seat, and the periphery of the base is formed with a bar portion having oval section. The bar portion extends downward to form a frame, wherein the bottom of the backrest (or armrest) extends laterally to form an L-shaped connecting portion. A C-shaped opening is formed at the intersection part between the bottom and the L-shaped connecting portion. The C-shaped opening is to receive the oval bar portion of the base; as a characteristic feature, both the upper edge and lower edge of the bar portion of the base are configured with a positioning tenon, and corresponding to the positioning tenon, the L-shaped connecting portion is configured with a positioning mortise with larger width. Moreover, the base and the L-shaped connecting portion are configured with fixing holes matching each other.

Claims

1. An easy assembly outdoor sofa, comprising: a base; a seat; and a backrest or armrest, wherein a plane of said base is extended horizontally to form the seat, the periphery of the base has a bar portion with an oval section, and said bar portion extends downward to form a frame, wherein a bottom of said backrest or armrest extends laterally to form an L-shaped connecting portion, a C-shaped opening is formed at the intersection between the bottom and the L-shaped connecting portion, and said C-shaped opening receives the bar portion, wherein both an upper edge and a lower edge of the bar portion of the base are configured with a positioning tenon, and corresponding to the positioning tenon, the L-shaped connecting portion is configured with a positioning mortise with larger width, and wherein the base and the L-shaped connecting portion are configured with fixing holes matching each other.

2. The easy assembly outdoor sofa defined in claim 1, wherein the positioning mortise is on two ends of the C-shaped opening and a width of the positioning mortise on the two ends of said C-shaped opening is larger than a width of the positioning tenon on the bar portion, so that the positioning tenon can move between a first position on one side of the positioning mortise and a second position on another side of the positioning mortise.

3. The easy assembly outdoor sofa defined in claim 2, wherein, said positioning tenon of the bar portion is located at the second position of the positioning mortise, so that the fixing hole of the bar portion and the fixing hole of the L-shaped connecting portion are aligned.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

(7) To help those skilled in the art understand the objective of the present invention, a preferred embodiment of the present invention is described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings:

(8) With reference to FIG. 1 to FIG. 6, the easy assembly outdoor sofa according to the invention comprises such components as a base 1 and a backrest (or armrest) 2. The plane of the base 1 extends horizontally to form a seat 11, the periphery of the base is formed with a bar portion 12 with oval section, and the bar portion extends downward to form a frame 13.

(9) The bottom of the backrest (or armrest) 2 extends laterally to form an L-shaped connecting portion 21. A C-shaped opening 22 is formed at the intersection between the bottom and the L-shaped connecting portion. When the backrest (or armrest) 2 is pushed toward the base 1 in the direction indicated by the arrow in FIG. 1, the C-shaped opening 22 will receive the oval bar portion 12;

(10) As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, to form the positioning and fixing structure of the present invention, the upper edge and lower edge of the bar portion are respectively provided with a positioning tenon 121a, 121b, and corresponding to the positioning tenon, the two ends of the C-shaped opening 22 are configured with a positioning mortise 22a, 22b. The width of the positioning mortise is larger than the width of the positioning tenon, so that the positioning tenon can move between the first position (as shown in FIG. 4) on one side of the positioning mortise (see FIG. 4) and the second position (see FIG. 5) on the other side. When said positioning tenon 121a, 121b moves from the first position of the positioning mortise 22a, 22b shown in FIG. 4 to the second position of the positioning mortise 22a, 22b shown in FIG. 5, the positioning is completed. Referring to FIG. 6, the fixing structure of the present invention is accomplished through the provision of matching fixing holes 122, 211 configured on the bar portion 12 and the L-shaped connecting portion 21. When said positioning tenon 121a, 121b is at the second position of the positioning mortise 22a, 22b, i.e., the position where the fixing hole 122 on the bar portion and the fixing hole 211 of the L-shaped connecting portion are aligned, the positioning is completed. Then, a fixing component such as a screw 3 is used to firmly fix the backrest (or armrest) 2 on the base 1.

(11) In contrast to said WO2019/162782 patent having the problem of unstable fixation due to the assembly of the base and the backrest (or armrest) only by the friction between the components, the present invention provides a positioning and fixing structure to ensure firm combination of the backrest (or armrest) and the base, avoiding separation and offering better stability.

(12) Although the invention has been described with reference to specific embodiments, this description is not meant to be construed in a limiting sense. Various modifications of the disclosed embodiments, as well as alternative embodiments, will be apparent to persons skilled in the art. It is, therefore, contemplated that the appended claims will cover all modifications that fall within the true scope of the invention.
