Abstract
The invention concerns a seat forming a rigid sitting surface (8) and a backrest frame (1) globally oriented in intersecting directions in a crossover area situated towards the rear of the rigid sitting surface, characterized in that it includes a flexible sheet (3), in that the backrest frame includes a device (7) for suspension of said flexible sheet, disposed higher than the rigid sitting surface, in that said flexible sheet includes a transition panel (18) extending between the suspension device and an intersection area (9) globally in front of the suspension device, so that said transition panel serves as a rear sitting surface portion and a bottom backrest portion.
Claims16
A seat comprising:
- a rigid sitting surface (8) having a rear edge (25),
- a flexible sheet (3) rigid in traction,
- a backrest frame (1) including a device (7) for suspension of said flexible sheet (3),
- characterized in that:
- it includes means (10) for joining the flexible sheet (3) and the rigid sitting surface (8) in an intersection area (9) of the rigid sitting surface (8), said intersection area (9) extending strictly in front of the rear edge (25) of the rigid sitting surface (8) so that the rigid sitting surface has a rear sitting surface portion extending from said intersection area (9) to the rear edge (25) of the sitting surface,
- in at least one stable configuration of the scat:
- the suspension device (7) is higher than the rigid sitting surface (8),
- the intersection area (9) is globally in front of the suspension device (7),
- said flexible sheet (3) includes a transition panel (18):
- extending between the suspension device (7) and the intersection area (9),
- having a length adapted to include an area of separation of the flexible sheet relative to the rigid sitting surface (8), said separation area extending between the rear edge (25) of the rigid sitting surface (8) and said intersection area (9), so that the rear sitting surface portion includes a separated portion extending from the rear sitting surface edge to the separation area in which the transition panel is suspended above and without contact with the rigid sitting surface,
- at least one front portion of the separated portion is inclined downwards towards the rear.
