Furniture unit
A furniture unit for building a furniture assembly together with another furniture unit comprises a first magnetic coupling member for interaction with a second magnetic coupling member of said another furniture unit. The first magnetic coupling member is movable between an inner position, in which it is retained by a retaining means, and an outer coupling position, to which it is movable from said inner position against a force from said retaining means.
1. Furniture unit for building a furniture assembly together with another furniture unit, comprising:
a furniture unit for seating, said furniture unit having a frame, an outer covering surface and a first magnetic coupling member for interaction with a second magnetic coupling member of said another furniture unit with seating independent of said furniture unit, wherein said first magnetic coupling member being movable relative to said frame between an inner position, in which it is retained by a retaining means, and an outer coupling position proximate the outer covering surface, to which it is movable from said inner position against a force from said retaining means.
2. Furniture unit according to claim 1 , wherein said retaining means comprises a resilient means.
3. Furniture unit according to claim 2 , wherein said resilient means comprises a spring element.
4. Furniture unit according to claim 1 , further comprising stop means for limiting outward movement of said first magnetic coupling member.
5. Furniture unit according to claim 4 , wherein said stop means define said outer coupling position.
6. Furniture unit according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of said first magnetic coupling member and said second magnetic coupling member comprises a rare earth magnet.
7. Furniture unit according to claim 1 , further comprising means covering at least one of said first magnetic coupling member and said second magnetic coupling member.
8. Furniture unit according to claim 1 , wherein the furniture unit comprises at least one further magnetic coupling member, said at least one further magnetic coupling member and the first magnetic coupling member being arranged on different sides of the furniture unit.
