    Combination of two seats fixed to one another by side-by-side and adjacent to each other, and coupling unit DESCRIPTION:
    FIELD OF THE INVENTION
    The invention relates to an assembly of two adjacent seats, as well as a coupling unit which fixes both seats relative to each other, which seats each comprise a seat and a number of legs attached to the seat.
    State of the art
    Such an assembly is generally known. Seats are linked to each other, among other things, if they are placed in rows behind each other for a stage. Hereby it is desirable and often also required to link the seats in a row sideways to each other. These couplings must be sturdy to prevent the rows from bending too much in the horizontal direction.
    Summary of the invention
    It is an object of the invention to provide an assembly of the type described in the preamble in which the seats are more firmly fixed relative to each other than with the known assembly, so that they can rotate less relative to each other in the horizontal direction than with the known assembly is the case. To this end, the assembly according to the invention is characterized in that the assembly comprises at least two coupling elements that form part of or are attached to the seats, and that the coupling unit comprises a fixing element and a retaining element, between which the coupling elements are at least partly present, as well as an attracting element that the fixing element and the confining element pull towards each other and thereby confines the coupling elements, one of the two elements of the cooperating coupling element and fixing element being provided with at least two spaced apart holes or at least one groove or slot, and the other element is provided with pin-fitting pins or a protrusion that fits snugly into the groove or slot or a rod that fits snugly into the groove or slot. Due to this construction, there is no or virtually no play between the parts cooperating with each other and the parts cooperate with each other over a distance so that they can hardly rotate relative to each other in the horizontal direction. With this construction, the requirements laid down in the standard NEN-EN 14703 can be met. In addition, the seats remain stackable.
    Here, grooves are to be understood to mean an elongated recess provided with a bottom and slits should be understood to mean an elongated recess without a bottom.
    An embodiment of the assembly according to the invention is characterized in that the seats are each provided with a seat part and the seats each comprise a frame present under the seat part, a frame part of each frame forming one of the coupling elements.
    Preferably, each of the coupling elements is formed by a pipe piece which is provided with a slot, the fixing element being provided with strip-shaped protrusions which protrude into the slots.
    Another embodiment of the assembly according to the invention is characterized in that the coupling elements are attached to the seat.
    The coupling elements are herein preferably attached to the seat at the bottom.
    Yet another embodiment of the assembly according to the invention is characterized in that the seats are each provided with a seat part and the seats each comprise a frame present under the seat part, the coupling elements being attached to the frame.
    A further embodiment of the assembly according to the invention is characterized in that the protrusions are formed by ribs which are present on the coupling elements, and grooves are present in the fixing element in which the ribs extend.
    The tightening element is preferably formed by a screw which protrudes through a hole present in the fixing element and the retaining element is provided with an internal threaded hole in which the screw is turned. The advantage of this is that the coupling unit can be fixed to the coupling elements by means of a screw machine, so that this can be carried out quickly and with constant force.
    A still further embodiment of the assembly according to the invention is characterized in that the fixing element comprises two sub-elements that can be rotated relative to each other, wherein each of the sub-elements cooperates with one of the coupling elements and wherein the two sub-elements are pulled towards the retaining element by the attracting element. The advantage of this is that seats that are arranged in curved rows can also be linked to each other.
    Yet another embodiment of the assembly according to the invention is characterized in that an armrest and / or a storage bin is connected to the fixing element. As a result, relatively inexpensive seats that are not provided with an armrest and / or a storage bin can achieve the same advantages in a simple and inexpensive way as more expensive seats that are provided with an armrest and / or a storage bin.
    The invention also relates to a coupling unit for fixing two adjacent seats next to each other. With regard to the coupling element, the invention is characterized in that the coupling unit comprises a fixing element which is provided close to or at two opposite edges with one or more elongated grooves, slots, ribs or protrusions, or with two spaced apart pins or holes, as well as a tightening element, and a screw which protrudes through a hole present in the fixing element and is turned into a hole present in the fixing element and provided with internal screw thread, and which can move the fixing element and the tightening element towards one another.
    An embodiment of the coupling unit according to the invention is characterized in that it furthermore comprises two coupling elements for fixing to the seats, which coupling elements are each provided with one or more elongated slots, grooves, ribs or protrusions, or with two spaced apart pins or holes cooperating with the slots, grooves, ribs or protrusions in or on the fixing element, wherein the co-operating slots, grooves, ribs or protrusions are closely fitted together.
    The tightening element is preferably formed by a screw which protrudes through a hole present in the fixing element and the retaining element is provided with an internal threaded hole in which the screw is turned.
    An embodiment of the coupling unit according to the invention is characterized in that the fixing element comprises two sub-elements that can be rotated relative to each other, wherein each of the sub-elements cooperates with one of the coupling elements and wherein the two sub-elements are pulled towards the retaining element by the attracting element.
    A further embodiment of the coupling unit according to the invention is characterized in that an armrest and / or a storage bin is connected to the fixing element. The armrest and / or the storage container is preferably fixed on the fixing element by means of the pull-on element. The storage bin can also be integrated into a component with the armrest.

    Detailed description of the drawings
    Figure 1 shows two seats 3 fixed relative to each other by means of a coupling unit 1 according to the invention and Figure 2 shows one of the seats 3 with a coupling element 5 attached thereto in side view. Each chair has a seat 7 with a seat section 9 and a number of legs 11 attached to the seat. The legs are formed by pipes, the upper parts of which are bent and form a frame 13. An armrest 15 (shown with broken lines) can be attached to the coupling unit 1 or a magazine bin instead.
    Figures 3 show a detail of the assembly shown in Figure 1 at the location of the coupling unit. The coupling unit 1 has two coupling elements 5 which are welded to frame parts 21 of the frames of the seats. These coupling elements 5 are each formed by a strip flanged along an edge, the flanged part forming a rib 23.
    The coupling unit 1 has a fixing element 17 and a retaining element 19, between which both elements the coupling elements 5 are partially present. The fixing element 17 is formed by a plate provided with grooves 25 in one of the main sides near the edges of the plate facing the frame parts.
    The coupling unit further has a tightening element 27 which is formed by a bolt and protrudes through a hole 29 present in the fixing element and is turned with one end into an opening 31 provided with internal screw thread in the retaining element. The retaining element 19 is formed by a flat metal strip. For clarification, Figure 4 shows the coupling unit with the coupling elements to be attached to the seats in perspective.
    By tightening the tightening element 27, the fixing element is pulled towards the retaining element, whereby the ribs 23 are retained in the grooves 25. The ribs are in this case closely fitting and preferably without play in the grooves so that the two adjacent seats cannot turn in the horizontal plane relative to each other.
    Instead of one pull-up element, if the seats are further apart or at least the coupling elements of the neighboring seats are present at a greater distance from each other, the coupling unit can also be of longer design and be provided with two pull-on elements located next to each other.
    Figures 5 and 6 show a second embodiment of the coupling unit according to the invention with the coupling elements attached to frame parts of the seats in side view and top view, respectively. All parts that are the same as those of the first embodiment described above are designated with the same reference numerals. With this coupling unit 33, the fixing element consists of two parts 17A and 17B which are each provided with a hole through which the attracting element 27 is inserted. These two parts are rotatable relative to each other about the pull-on element, so that the coupling element can also be used for chairs which are placed side by side in a curved row.
    Figure 7 shows a detail of a second embodiment of the assembly according to the invention. The coupling elements are formed by frame parts 37 of the seats. Elongated slots 39 are present in these frame parts. The fixing element 41 of the coupling unit 35 is provided with protrusions 43 formed by bent lips which protrude through the slots.
    Figure 8 shows a detail of a third embodiment of the assembly according to the invention. The coupling elements 45 are herein formed by rods fixed to the frame parts 21 of the seats, which bars are locked in the grooves 25 present in the fixing element 17 when coupled. Figure 9 shows the coupling element 45 attached to the frame part 21 in top view.
    Figure 10 shows a detail of a fourth embodiment of the assembly according to the invention. The coupling elements 47 attached to the frame parts 21 protrude inwards. These coupling elements are provided with elongated slots 49. The fixing element 51 is herein located on the underside and is provided with flanged edges which form protrusions 53 which protrude into the slots 49. The retaining element 55 is located at the top of the coupling unit 57 and the attracting element 59 pulls the two elements 51 and 55 against the frame parts 21 and the coupling elements 47 so that the projections 53 are locked in the slots 49.
    Figure 11 shows a detail of a fifth embodiment of the assembly according to the invention. The coupling elements 61 are herein formed by strips provided with fitting holes 63 attached to the frame parts 21 of the seats. The fixing element 67 of the coupling unit 65 is provided with dowel pins 69 which are closely fitted in the dowel holes. Figure 12 shows the coupling element 61 attached to the frame part 21 in top view.
    Figure 13 shows a chair 71 belonging to a further embodiment of the assembly according to the invention, with a coupling element 75 directly attached to the seat 73 of the chair. This coupling element is formed by a profile with a C-shaped cross-section, the lower boundary edge of which 77 of the opening forms the rib which is to enter the groove in the fixing element. By way of illustration, Figure 14 shows a detail of the chair shown in Figure 13 with the coupling element 77 with screws 79 attached to the seat part 81 of the seat 73, and Figure 15 shows the coupling element in side view.
    Although in the foregoing the invention has been elucidated with reference to the drawings, it should be noted that the invention is by no means limited to the embodiments shown in the drawings. The invention also extends to all embodiments deviating from the embodiments shown in the drawings within the scope defined by the claims.
