Seat and seat set

The present invention relates to a seat, and more particularly to a seat and a seat set.

Innovation and taste always lead the trend of the times, as well as furniture. The seat is not only for the user to sit on it, but if it can get rid of the shackles of the general seat design and give the seat a new concept and taste, this product can always have a place in the market.

Therefore, how to provide a seat and seat set, which can bring interesting and emotional interaction, and thus enhance product competitiveness, has become one of the important topics.

In view of the above problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a seat and a seat set which can bring interesting and emotional interactions, thereby enhancing product competitiveness.

To achieve the above object, a seat according to the present invention is used to connect a further seat and includes a first seat surface and a joint portion. The joint is used to connect another seat. The first seat surface is for carrying the user, and when the seat is coupled to the other seat, the first seat surface forms an angle of less than 180 degrees with the seat surface of the other seat.

In order to achieve the above object, a seat set according to the present invention includes two seats, each of which has a first seat surface and a joint portion, and the seats are connected to each other by the joint portions. When the seats are coupled to each other, the first seat surfaces of the seats form an angle of less than 180 degrees.

In one embodiment, the included angle ranges from 120 degrees to 170 degrees. Such an angle provides a preferred slope for the first chair surface and provides a fun and emotional interaction for the user sitting thereon.

In an embodiment, the connecting portion may be provided with a convex portion, or a concave portion, or a combination thereof, or may comprise a magnetic body. The two seats can be easily joined by the convex portion, the concave portion, the magnetic body or a combination thereof.

In an embodiment, the joint may include a bump that is magnetic. The magnetic bumps allow the two seats to create a space when combined, allowing the user to have a variety of interactions.

In one embodiment, the first seat surface has opposite sides, wherein one side away from the joint is higher than one side of the adjacent joint. Thereby, the surface formed by the seat surfaces of the two seats has an angle of less than 180 degrees, allowing the users to approach each other and rely on each other.

In an embodiment, the joint may include at least one leg portion. By using the leg portion as a part of the connecting portion, it is not necessary to provide a separate connecting portion, thereby reducing the cost. Among them, the foot of the chair can be curved to bring a sense of design, and the curved foot can show the hint of the combination of the two seats. Of course, in the present invention, the seat may not have a leg portion.

In an embodiment, the seat may further include an elastic body that covers the first seat surface. The elastomer is, for example, a sponge that cushions the weight of the user. The elastomer can cover the joint more, so that only the elastomer can be seen in appearance to achieve a visually new experience. When the first seat surface forms an angle of less than 180 degrees with the seat surface of the other seat or the first seat surface, the second seat surface substantially forms a plane of 180 degrees; since the user does not know the first chair The face is tilted or so tilted, so it can bring unexpected surprises.

As described above, in the seat and seat set of the present invention, the seat can be coupled to the other seat by the joint portion, and the user sitting thereon is inclined to each other by the inclination of the seat surface. It is necessary to rely on each other to rely on each other and to seat on such seats, such as back-to-back or face-to-face, thereby increasing mutual fun or emotional interaction.

In the following, a seat and a seat set according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein the same elements will be described with the same reference numerals.

Referring to FIG. 1A and FIG. 1B , a seat 10 according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention includes a first seat surface 11 and a joint portion 12 . The first seat surface 11 forms an angle A with a horizontal plane H. The joint portion 12 is substantially perpendicular to the horizontal plane H. In the present embodiment, the seat 10 has a base portion 13 and a plurality of leg portions 14, the joint portion 12 has a leg portion 141, and the seat portion 13 has a first seat surface 11. In the present embodiment, the angle A is preferably greater than 5 degrees and less than 30 degrees. Such an angle A provides a preferred slope for the first seat surface 11 to provide a fun and emotional interaction for the user sitting thereon.

In the present embodiment, the first seat surface 11 has opposite sides 111, 112, wherein one side 111 away from the joint portion 12 is higher than one side 112 of the adjacent joint portion 12, so that the first seat surface 11 forms an angle A. Of course, in addition to the inclination of the above direction, the first seat surface 11 may have a change in the inclination of the other direction, for example, the other two sides of the first seat surface 11 have different heights, or the other two sides of the first seat surface 11 are equal. The height is higher than the center of the first seat surface 11 or both are lower than the center of the first seat surface 11, and the first seat surface 11 is like a saddle shape.

In the present embodiment, the leg portion 141 of the joint portion 12 has an arc shape. The curved shape of the leg portion 141 can provide a sense of design, and the curved leg portion 141 can show the hint of the combination of the two seats.

In this embodiment, the connecting portion 12 is used to be coupled to another seat. The joint portion 12 may be provided with a convex portion, or a concave portion, or a combination thereof, so that the seat 10 can be coupled to the other seat by a convex portion, a concave portion, or a concave-convex fit. The connecting portion 12 can be provided with a magnetic body so that the seat 10 can be coupled to the other seat by magnetic force. Of course, the connecting portion 12 can also be coupled to the seat by other means such as bonding and snapping. Here, the seat 10 is coupled to the other seat by a magnetic body M (magnet), and the magnetic body M can be attached to the plane 121 of the connecting portion 12 or embedded in the connecting portion 12. In other aspects, the connecting portion may further have a bump, and the bump has magnetic properties. The magnetic bumps allow the two seats to create a space when combined, giving the user a variety of interactions.

FIG. 2 is a schematic view showing the connection of the two seats 10 of FIG. 1 , and the two seats 10 are coupled to each other by the joint portion 12 . Thereby, the surface formed by the first seat surface 11 of the two seats 10 has an angle B of less than 180°, allowing the users to approach each other and rely on each other, such as back to back or face to face. The angle B ranges, for example, from 120 degrees to 170 degrees to facilitate the user to sit on the seat 10.

FIG. 3A is a schematic view of the seat 10 further having an elastic body 15. The elastic body 15 covers the first seat surface 11. The elastomer 15 is, for example, a sponge that cushions the weight of the user. The elastic body 15 can further enclose the joint portion 12 so that the elastic body 15 can be seen only in appearance to achieve a visually new experience. The elastic body 15 encloses the first seat surface 11 to form a second seat surface 151. When the first seat surface 11 forms an angle B of less than 180 degrees, the second seat surface 151 substantially forms a plane of 180 degrees. Thereby, since the user does not know that the first seat surface 11 is inclined or so inclined, it can bring unexpected surprises in use.

As shown in FIG. 3B, the connecting portion 12 of the seat 10 may also be on the elastic body 15, that is, the elastic body 15 has a connecting portion 12, in which case the magnetic body M may be disposed on the connecting portion 12, or The joint portion 12 of the elastic body 15 may be provided with a recess, a protrusion or a combination thereof, so that the seat 10 can be coupled to the other seat 10 by the joint portion 12. Of course, the present invention does not limit the position of the joint portion 12, and the meaning of the joint portion 12 is that it is used to connect with another seat.

4 is a schematic view showing the connection of the two seats 10 of FIG. 3A, and the two seats 10 are coupled to each other by the joint portion 12. Moreover, since the leg portions 141 of the connecting portion 12 are curved, a space can be created between the seats 10 to allow the user to interact more or place the feet.

The variation of the seat 10 of the present embodiment will be exemplified below.

As shown in Fig. 5A, the seat 10a is a unitary body as a whole, and has no legs. The seat 10a has a first seat surface 11 and a connecting portion 12, and the connecting portion 12 is provided with a magnetic body M, and the two seats 10a are coupled by a magnetic body M. The size of the magnetic body M is not limited, and the entire joint portion 12 or a portion of the joint portion 12 may be covered.

As shown in FIG. 5B, the joint portion 12 of the seat 10b has a projection P having magnetic properties. After the two seats 10b are joined, the projections P cause a space to be generated between the seats 10b.

As shown in FIG. 5C, the connecting portion 12 of the seat 10c has a protrusion P, which is different from that of FIG. 5B in that the two seats 10c are configured by the concave-convex fit, so that the bumps P of the two seats 10c are arranged up and down, and The space as shown in Fig. 5B is not formed after bonding.

As shown in Fig. 5D, the joint portion 12 of the seat 10d has a projection P, which is different from the above in that the two projections P of the two seats 10d are arranged side by side, not vertically.

As shown in FIG. 5E, the connecting portions 12 of the seat 10e each have a convex portion 161 and a concave portion 162. The two seats 10e are combined by the concave-convex fitting of the convex portion 161 and the concave portion 162, and are engaged with each other to improve the bonding strength. .

The above-mentioned variation is exemplified by the absence of an elastic body. In practice, the elastic body may be coated with the first seat surface or even the joint portion. Alternatively, the elastic system has a joint or the joint is located at another object or other location.

In summary, in the seat and seat set of the present invention, the seat can be coupled to the other seat by the connecting portion, and the user to be carried is inclined by the inclination of the seat surface. They can sit on these seats with each other's center of gravity, such as back-to-back or face-to-face, thereby increasing mutual fun or emotional interaction.
