Abstract
Abstract A plane for the seat of armchairs, divans, chairs and similar furniture having a framework for the support of a plurality of belts forming the plane of the seat. The framework includes two lateral sections that each have a protruding tongue, provided with fixing U shaped elements oriented surrounding the tongue. Each belt passes outside the U shaped sections and is then folded up backwards and inserted between the tongue and the U shaped element so that the tension exerted by the belt presses the U shaped element in order to block the end of the belt against the tongue.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
168 words
A plane for a seat of an armchair, divan, chair or similar furniture, the plane comprising: a pair of spaced apart lateral sections, each lateral section having a downwardly protruding tongue; a pair of U shaped elements corresponding to the pair of downwardly protruding tongues, one U shaped element oriented around each protruding tongue; a plurality of belts connected between the pair of spaced apart lateral sections, each belt having a pair of ends, one end of each belt passing around outside one of the U shaped elements, folded back and interposed between the same U shaped element and corresponding protruding tongue; the other end of each belt fastened in the same manner to the other U shaped element and other protruding tongue; and means for tensioning each of the plurality of belts, wherein the tension exerted by each belt is directed against each U shaped element such that each end of each belt is blocked against the corresponding protruding tongue, thereby constraining the belt in the framework.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
168 words
A plane for a seat of an armchair, divan, chair or similar furniture, the plane comprising: a pair of spaced apart lateral sections, each lateral section having a downwardly protruding tongue; a pair of U shaped elements corresponding to the pair of downwardly protruding tongues, one U shaped element oriented around each protruding tongue; a plurality of belts connected between the pair of spaced apart lateral sections, each belt having a pair of ends, one end of each belt passing around outside one of the U shaped elements, folded back and interposed between the same U shaped element and corresponding protruding tongue; the other end of each belt fastened in the same manner to the other U shaped element and other protruding tongue; and means for tensioning each of the plurality of belts, wherein the tension exerted by each belt is directed against each U shaped element such that each end of each belt is blocked against the corresponding protruding tongue, thereby constraining the belt in the framework.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
52 words
A plane for a seat according to claim 1, wherein the means for tensioning comprises at least a pair of shaped tubular elements positioned between the spaced apart lateral sections, the pair of lateral sections, and receiving means for attaching the shaped tubular elements to each of the pair of lateral sections.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
32 words
A plane for a seat according to claim 2, wherein the receiving means comprises one of a plurality of bends and a plurality of hollows located in the spaced apart lateral sections.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
56 words
A plane for a seat according to claim 2, wherein each of the plurality of belts has an elastic strength, the means for tensioning further comprising the elastic strength exerted on each spaced apart lateral section such that the pair of spaced apart lateral sections are blocked against the at least one pair of tubular elements.
