The back supporting frame is detachably disposed at a rear side of the base mount. The armrest frame is detachably disposed at a lateral side of the base mount. The seating cushion is detachably disposed on a top side of the base mount. The back supporting cushion is detachably disposed at a front side of the back supporting frame. The armrest cushion detachably covers over the armrest frame. As such, the dismantlable sofa can be assembled and conveniently dismantled by consumer.
To attain another above-mentioned objective, the present invention provides a dismantlable sofa packing assembly comprising a base mount, a back supporting frame and an armrest frame all having a flat shape and being parallel arranged relative to each other, a plurality of cushion rolls, and a box. The cushion rolls each have a cylindrical shape and are formed by compressing and rolling a seating cushion, a back supporting cushion, an armrest cushion or a combination thereof. The box receives the base mount, the back supporting frame, the armrest frame, and the cushion rolls therein, thereby dramatically minimizing the packing size and lowering the cost of transportation and storage.
The present invention will become more fully understood from the detailed description given herein below and the accompanying drawings which are given by way of illustration only, and thus are not limitative of the present invention, and wherein:
The structure and technical features of the present invention will be detailedly described hereunder by three embodiments and accompany drawings. As shown in
The base mount 10 is composed of a first base frame 12 and a second base frame 15 detachably assembled with the first base frame 12. Both first and second base frames 12 and 15 are shaped like a flat rectangular frame having a similar shape and have a first length d1 and a first width w1 smaller than the first length d1. As shown in
The two back supporting frames 20 are detachably mounted at a rear side 101 of the base mount 10. The detachable structure may have various designs. In this embodiment, the two back supporting frames 20 are shaped like a flat rectangular frame having a similar shape and each have a second length d2 and a second width w2 smaller than the second length d2. The bottom side 21 of each back supporting frame 20 is provided with two pins 22 which are insertable into the two pin holes 122 at the rear side 121 of the first base frame 12 or the two pin holes 152 at the rear side 151 of the second base frame 15. By means of the weights of the two back supporting frames 20, the two back supporting frames 20 can be stably connected with the base mount 10. To dismantle the back supporting frame 20 from the base mount 10, the user only needs to upwardly take the back supporting frame 20 without the need of using any tools.
The two armrest frames 24 are detachably mounted at lateral sides 102, i.e., left and right sides, of the base mount 10. The detachable structure may have various designs. In this embodiment, the two armrest frames 24 are shaped like flat rectangular frames having a similar shape and each have a third length d3 and a third width w3 smaller than the third length d3. The bottom side 25 of each armrest frame 24 is provided with two pins 26 which are insertable into the two pin holes 124 at the left side 123 of the first base frame 12 or the two pin holes 154 at the right side 153 of the second base frame 15. By means of the weights of the two armrest frames 24, the two armrest frames 24 can be stably connected with the base mount 10. To dismantle the armrest frame 24 from the base mount 10, the user only needs to upwardly take the armrest frame 24 without the need of using any tools.
The two seating cushions 28 are detachably disposed on a top side 103 of the base mount 10. The detachable structure may have various designs. In this embodiment, the two seating cushions 28 are directly placed on the base mount 10. However, they can be fastened with the base mount 10 by hook-and-loop fasteners or other fastening ways. The seating cushion 28 is made by a foam core encased by a fabric cover, such that the seating cushion 28 is soft and compressible in its volume.
The two back supporting cushions 30 are detachably disposed on front sides 23 of the back supporting frames 20, respectively. The detachable structure may have various designs. In this embodiment, the two back supporting cushions 30 are directly placed on the base mount 10 to lean on the two supporting frames 20. However, they can be fastened with the back supporting frames 20 by hook-and-loop fasteners or other fastening ways. The back supporting cushion 30 is made by a foam core encased by a fabric cover, such that it is soft and compressible in its volume.
The two armrest cushions 32 detachably covers on the two armrest frames 24, respectively. The detachable structure may have various designs. In this embodiment, each armrest cushion 32 has an accommodation 34 with an opening 33 facing downwardly, such that the armrest frame 24 can be inserted into the accommodation 34 of the armrest cushion 32 via the opening 33. That is, the armrest cushion 32 is directly placed on the armrest frame 24 to encase the armrest frame 24 therein. The armrest cushion 32 is made by a foam core encased by a fabric cover, such that it is soft and compressible in its volume.
With the above-illustrated structural features, the parts of the dismantlable sofa 1 can be conveniently and quickly assembled with and dismantled from each other by the user himself/herself with simple tools.
Further, the packing assembly 2 of the dismantlable sofa 1 further provides the advantages of small size and convenience of transportation and storage. As shown in
Since the second length d2 of the back supporting frame 20 and the third length d3 of the armrest frame 24 are both smaller than the first length d1 of the first base frame 12 and the second width w2 of the back supporting frame 20 and the third width w3 of the armrest frame 24 are both smaller than the first width w1 of the first base frame 12, the overall length and width of the lamination unit 36 will be respectively equal to the first length d1 and the first width w1, the length of each cushion roll 38 will be approximately equal to the first width w1, and the sum of the diameters of the three cushion rolls 38 will be approximately equal to the first length d1 when the two back supporting frames 20 and the two armrest frames 24 are clamped between the first and second base frames 12 and 15. As a result, all parts of the dismantlable sofa 1 can be stacked to form like a cube and then placed into a normal cubic box 40, thereby minimizing the volume of the packing assembly 2. This design is totally different from the design of huge packaging volume of traditional sofas, and not only greatly reduces the volume of the sofa packaging, but also significantly reduces transportation and storage costs, thereby achieving the objective of the present invention.
Based on the technical features of the present invention, various modifications to the dismantlable sofa 1 and its packing assembly 2 may be made. For example,
Furthermore, the base mount 10 may be configured as having an integral structure without having two or more base frames, and the stand posts 18 may be connected with the base mount 10 by anchoring connection, embedding connection or other ways. Moreover, the cushion roll 38 may be formed by compressing and rolling different parts, such as compressing and rolling two back supporting cushions 30, two seating cushions 28 or a combination of two or more of various cushions. Except the bottom side 37 of the lamination unit 36. the cushion rolls 38 may be placed at other lateral sides, such as the top side, of the lamination unit 36 in a parallel or perpendicular manner, and the order where the parts are stacked one after another to form the lamination unit 36 may be changed in accordance with actual need. To reduce the volumes of the cushion rolls 38, the vertical back supporting frame 20 may be replaced by an inclined back supporting frame so as to reduce the volume of the lower half of the back supporting cushion 30, i.e., the volume of the part used for supporting a user’s waist. Alternately, the width of the armrest frame 24 may be increased such that the armrest cushion 32 can be made thinner. As such, the armrest cushion 32 needs not to be compressed and rolled but to directly cover on the armrest frame 24 during packing. Such variations are not to be regarded as a departure from the spirit and scope of the invention, and all such modifications as would be obvious to one skilled in the art are intended to be included within the scope of the following claims.
