Abstract (en)

1. Folding furniture unit having a bearing surface (5, 5b) - or seating element - and four legs (3, 4, 3a, 3b) and constituted by two sub-assemblies - or support structures - each of which carries two legs, at least one of the support structures (1, 1a, 1b) being intended to carry at least part of the seating element (5, 5b) to which are secured two transversely oriented legs (3, 3a, 3b) and the second support structure comprising a frame (12) provided with the other two legs, each support structure being provided in the vicinity of its edge opposite to its two legs (3, 4, 3a, 3b) with means (8, 15, 9) for bearing on the other support structure when the furniture unit is in its service position in which the support structures (1, 1a, 1b, 2) engage relatively to the frame (12) with correlative positioning of the seating element, the two support structures (1, 1a, 1b, 2) being pivoted to each other about an axis (AA) located between the two substantially parallel bearing lines defined in the service position by the aforesaid bearing means (8, 9, 15), characterized in that the pivotal axis is materialized by components (16) of the pivot-pin type placed on each of the side members of the frame-seating element pair and providing a positive coupling between the frame and the seating element, the said pivot-pin being located substantially at the mid-point between the two aforesaid bearing lines.
