AI Technical Summary
Existing displays integrated into furniture lack easy access and are limited by the cubic form of the furniture, restricting access to objects placed on them, especially when positioned on top of furniture, and do not provide essential furniture features like closed closets or shelves.
A piece of furniture with a display featuring a central block composed of cupboards, niches, and a masking worktop, where the worktop above the display has a trapezoidal niche with rounded corners, facilitating object access and maintaining other functional characteristics.
Facilitates easy access to objects on the display without risking impact on the worktop, while allowing full space utilization under and around the display, with minimal impact on the furniture's ease of use.

Abstract
Description
Title of the invention: Furniture with a display stand
[0001] The subject matter of the utility model is a piece of furniture with a display stand intended for use in bedrooms, apartments, offices, with easy access to the exhibited object.
[0002] Display stands of all types are known and widely used. They consist of a system of parallel shelves located one above the other, the rear walls of which are inclined backwards in their upper part - towards the inside of the display stand, with a stop / threshold supporting the exhibited object.
[0003] Furniture that uses display elements in its construction is also known. However, the disadvantage of these solutions is that the displays themselves are not necessary elements for furnishing an office or a room - they do not have closed cupboards, shelves or other elements characteristic of a piece of furniture, while the displays placed in furniture elements have partially limited access, since they are limited by the cubic shape of the furniture itself - they are surrounded by side walls or a worktop, which allows access to the item placed on the display only from the front, or forces to refuse to the flat surface of the furniture in the case where the display is placed on top of the furniture.
[0004] The aim of the invention is therefore to develop a piece of furniture which makes access to the object placed on the display unit easier and which retains all its other functional characteristics.
[0005] The principle of a piece of furniture with a display unit, that is to say a block composed of cupboards, niches and shelves and a concealing work surface, is that the work surface located above the display unit, in the upper part of the central block of the furniture, has a niche, which preferably has a trapezoidal shape with rounded corners.
[0006] The proposed solution, thanks to the use of a niche in the upper surface of the furniture, considerably facilitates access to objects placed on the display, such as a remote control, a game controller or a book. When removing an object from the furniture, there is no risk of the object hitting the upper surface of the furniture - the worktop - and the location of the display in the upper central part allows full use of the space located under the display and on its two sides, which did not bring major changes to the usability of the furniture itself. On the other hand, the niche used on the upper surface of the furniture constituting its worktop turned out to be so negligible compared to the overall surface that it did not have a negative impact on the usability of the furniture.
[0007] The object of the model is shown in the figure, where [Fig.l] shows an example of a piece of furniture containing a display stand in a perspective view upwards and [Fig.2] shows the same example of a piece of furniture containing a display stand in a perspective view towards the side.
[0008] The furniture according to the model consists of a rectangular parallelepiped 1 divided into three parts: a central part 2 consisting of a lockable cupboard 3 and an oblong display stand 4 placed above it, the rear wall 5 of which is inclined at an acute angle towards the inside of the furniture, while in the front part there is a limiting strip 6 to protect the objects placed on the display stand from falling; on both sides of the central part 2 there are left 7 and right 8 furniture wings which are niches that can be divided into further segments by means of shelves 9. The three central parts 2 left 7 and right 8 are hidden by the worktop 10 which, directly above the display stand 4, has a niche 11 extending over the width of this display stand. It is advantageous if this niche is rectangular or trapezoidal in shape with rounded corners.
[0009] It goes without saying that the central 2, left 7 and right 8 parts of the furniture can be covered with additional doors or be open elements without doors.
