Abstract
A seating arrangement includes at least two seating units connected together, wherein each seating unit includes a tubular frame and a seat supported by the tubular frame. The seating unit forms part of the seating arrangement. The seating arrangement is characterized in that each tubular frame defines a loop (5) projecting beyond one side of the seat (12), that the seat (12) is provided on the opposite side with an opening (21) and a retaining element (24) associated with the opening (21) and that the loop (5) of one seating unit is designed to engage with the retaining element (24) of an adjacent seating unit.
Claims7
A seating unit, consisting essential of:
- a seat (12;
- 112);
- a connecting part (5;
- 105);
- a support part (9A, 9B, 10;
- 120);
- and
- an opening (21, 121), wherein,
- the seat has a first side, an opposite second side, and a generally horizontal seating surface extending between the first side and the second side,
- the connecting part is located at the first side of the seat;
- the support part is located at the second side of the seat and extends downward to a floor surface,
- the support part supports the second side of the seat relative to the floor surface when the seating unit is connected to another seating unit of the same kind having a corresponding seat, a corresponding connecting part on a corresponding first side of the corresponding seat, and a corresponding support part on a corresponding second side of the seat,
- the corresponding support part of the other seating unit is required to support the first side of the seat of the seating unit relative to the floor surface as the first side of the seat of the seating unit is free of any support part located at the first side of the seat and extending downward to the floor surface, and
- the opening of the seating unit is located at the second side of the seat of the seating unit and is sized to receive the corresponding connecting part of the other seating unit and thereby have the corresponding support part of the other seating unit support the first side of the seat and the seating unit on the floor surface, with the seating unit and the other seating unit detachably locked against mutual separation.
