(54) Chair comprising seat, backrest and legs


(57) A chair comprising a backrest and seat in one piece manufactured of a preferably anisotropic or laminated material having a generally uniform thickness, which chair can be provided with a chassis with legs, is stackable or can be placed so as to create a row of chairs, has a number a disadvantages connected with it, showing both during manufacture and during use. The disadvantages relating to the manufacture are essentially caused by the fact that the chair is to be assembled with an often heavy chassis, which both enhances the costs of manufacture and increases the weight, whereby the chair becomes heavy and difficult to transport.
The disadvantages relating to the use are essentially caused by the construction of the chair, in that it for example is difficult to fasten wood screws in work pieces with small material thickness, and the use of wood bolts or rivets demands machining of the top surface of the chair, and also that the chair as a consequence of joints and corners often is difficult to clean.
These disadvantages are effectively met in that the legs (3) are constituted by sideways directed extensions of the seat surface (1), said extensions being bent in an opposite direction relative the backrest (2), and in that the seat (1), the backrest (2) and the legs (3) are made from one work piece. With thus designed legs (3) a number of advantages are achieved with respect to the assemblage, the price, material utilization, weight and transport.
