Abstract
Abstract A plurality of components made of a flat, bendable material, such as a textile or plastic material, and comprising two substantially U-shaped components, five rectangular components and two circular components assembled along their adjacent edges so as to form substantially tubular members, the cavities of which are subsequently filled with a stuffing material to form cushion members. There are three cushion members, viz. a combined, substantially U-shaped back and arm rest cushion, a seat cushion and a neck pillow. These cushion members are finally assembled to form a chair or settee by means of two pairs of straps extending from the bottom face of the seat cushion. The seat is attached to the arm rests by means of a pair of straps extending in opposite directions from one end of the seat member around the arm rests and fastened at the bottom of the seat. The neck pillow is attached to the back of the U-shaped cushion member by means of the other pair of straps extending from the back end of the seat around the back of the U-shaped cushion, embracing the neck pillow and fastened at the bottom of the seat cushion, the two parts of the straps being held together by means of a rectangular frame member inserted between the neck pillow and the back of the U-shaped cushion.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
206 words
A furniture assembly comprising a plurality of elements consisting exclusively of pieces of a flat bendable material and including the following basic elements: a pair of substantially U-shaped elements, each having an outer and an inner perimeter and a pair of edges interconnecting said perimeters; a rectangular inner side strip element for interconnecting the U-shaped elements by attachment thereto along the inner perimeter thereof; a rectangular outer side strip element for interconnecting the U-shaped elements by attachment thereto along the outer perimeter thereof; a pair of end elements adapted to close the ends of a tubular element formed by the U-shaped elements when interconnected by the inner and outer strip elements; a rectangular element adapted to be bent and assembled along a pair of parallel edges to form a hollow seat element open at opposite ends; a pair of rectangular elements adapted to close the open ends of said seat element by attachment to the free edges thereof; a rectangular element adapted to be bent and assembled along a pair of opposite edges to form a tubular pillow element open at opposite ends; and a pair of end elements adapted to close the open ends of said pillow element by attachment to the free edges thereof.
