Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to box-type art. More specifically, the present invention relates to box-type art that can be used in a natural way as a decoration in a room by hanging it on a wall or placing it on a wall, while containing components for a toilet that can be used in emergencies such as earthquakes. [Background technology]

[0002] During emergencies such as earthquakes, water and electricity are often unavailable. For example, in public facilities used as evacuation sites in the event of a disaster, if water is cut off due to a water outage, the toilets will effectively be unusable, causing great inconvenience. In addition, in apartment buildings and other buildings, water supply pumps may not be able to be used due to a power outage, meaning that water cannot be used, and in such cases toilets will also be unusable. For these reasons, technology has been disclosed that allows the device to be used as a toilet in an emergency (Patent Documents 1 to 3). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] Patent Document 1 discloses technology relating to a portable toilet that can be assembled and used in an emergency. Patent Documents 2 and 3 disclose technology relating to a box for crisis management measures that can store components for a toilet. These prior art technologies are useful in that they incorporate simple toilets or toilet components in emergencies. However, these technologies need to be kept on hand as simple toilets or boxes, and are not necessarily essential in everyday life.

[0005] In addition, many people often take refuge in public facilities, and the period of evacuation can last from a few hours to a few days. Therefore, it is expected that the total number of times toilets are used in such cases will reach dozens of times. For this reason, keeping a large number of prior art toilets on hand poses problems in that they require extra space, etc. Furthermore, considering that apartments have limited space and volume, people tend to want to avoid stockpiling supplies just for emergencies as much as possible. In light of the above circumstances, the present invention aims to provide technology that can be used in a natural way in daily life and that can be prepared for multiple uses.

[0010] The present invention will now be described. The box-type art of the present invention is box-type art consisting of a frame-shaped member, a first box-shaped member, a second box-shaped member, a transparent plate, and an art member, wherein the frame-shaped member has a display section on the front for displaying the art member, and an opening on one or both of the sides or on the top for inserting and fitting the first box-shaped member, and the second box-shaped member is stored in the first box-shaped member and contains components for an emergency toilet or disaster prevention goods, and the art member and the transparent plate are placed on top of the first box-shaped member, in that order, and these are fitted together into the interior of the frame-shaped member through the opening of the frame-shaped member, thereby allowing it to be used as box-type art (interior art, room decoration). The box-type art of the present invention can be used as a decorative item in everyday life by hanging it on the wall or placing it on a table, and in an emergency it can be used as a makeshift toilet by removing the emergency toilet components contained inside, and by removing and using the disaster prevention goods, quick response in an emergency can be achieved. In addition, the box-type art of the present invention can be constructed to have a certain degree of robustness and a certain degree of size by being equipped with a frame-shaped member. Therefore, it is possible to provide multiple emergency toilet components inside. Furthermore, with the box-type art of the present invention, the art materials can be easily replaced, allowing the use of various art materials according to the location and season.

[0011] In the present invention, box-shaped art is defined as having a box-like shape with artistic expression on one of its faces. Box-like is defined as having an approximately hexahedral shape, typically a flat approximately hexahedral shape with a certain degree of thickness as shown in Figure 2. It may also be an approximately square hexahedral shape as shown in Figure 2, or an approximately hexahedral shape with a vertically or horizontally long rectangular shape.

[0012] In the present invention, the frame-shaped member has a certain degree of robustness and plays a role of displaying the art member while containing other members. Therefore, the frame-shaped member has, as essential components, an opening for inserting the art member, etc., and a display section for displaying the art member. The frame-shaped member does not need to be particularly limited as long as it has such a role and configuration, and various configurations can be adopted. The frame-shaped member may typically have a hexahedral shape with openings on the left and right sides and a display section on the front, as shown in Fig. 3. The opening may have a shape or size that matches the shape of the first box-shaped member, the art member, and the transparent plate when they are stacked together. The display unit may be a quadrilateral (square) cut-out display unit for displaying the art material, as shown in Figure 3. Note that the display unit does not need to be limited to a quadrilateral shape, and may be any of a variety of shapes, such as a circle, an ellipse, or a polygon (rectangle, triangle, etc.).

[0013] The size of the frame-shaped component can be adjusted to suit the room or other space in which it is expected to be used, while still functioning as box art. As an example of box art, let us take a prototype (wooden frame-shaped member) as an example, which has a width and height of approximately 33 cm and a depth of approximately 5.5 cm. The width of each side of the frame-shaped member is also approximately 5 mm. Naturally, there is no need to be limited to such sizes and shapes, and various configurations are possible, such as not only a square shape, but also a rectangular shape with a different height-to-width ratio and one of the height or width being longer.

[0014] The frame member should be made of a material that is strong enough and has a luxurious feel, assuming that it will be displayed in a room. For example, a wooden frame, a plastic frame, or a metal frame may be used.

[0015] The art member functions as the art portion of the box-type art of the present invention, and also serves as a lid for the first box-shaped member by being placed on the first box-shaped member. The art member does not need to be particularly limited as long as it fulfills this role, and various types of art can be displayed. Art materials are typically made of thin sheets of paper, plastic materials, wooden boards, etc., and materials that display various art may be used on the front side of these. There is no need to be any particular limitation on the art materials, and they can be used to display paintings (oil paintings, watercolor paintings, pencil drawings, paper cuttings, prints, etc.), photographs, prints, calligraphy works, mosaic art, etc. The shape and size of the art member may be determined taking into consideration the frame-shaped member and the first box-shaped member. Typically, the art member may be a square or rectangular shape, and may be the same size as or slightly smaller than the top surface of the first box-shaped member.

[0016] The transparent plate is placed on the upper side (front side) of the art material and serves to protect the art portion displayed on the art material. The art material does not need to be particularly limited as long as it fulfills this role, and art materials of various shapes and materials can be used. The transparent plate needs only to be transparent and thin, and examples of such materials include acrylic plates, polycarbonate plates, PETG plates (polyethylene terephthalate glycol plates), PVC plates (polyvinyl chloride plates), SAN plates (styrene-acrylonitrile plates), and glass plates, with acrylic plates being the most preferable. The shape and size of the transparent plate may be determined taking into consideration the frame-shaped member and the first box-shaped member. Typically, the transparent plate may be a square or rectangular shape, and may be the same size as or slightly smaller than the top surface of the first box-shaped member.

[0017] The first box-shaped member serves to store the second box-shaped member. The first box-shaped member does not need to be particularly limited as long as it fulfills this role, and may be of various shapes and sizes. The first box-shaped member may have a shape that matches the internal shape of the frame-shaped member, and may typically have a hexahedral shape with an open top. The first box-shaped member is preferably provided with a pull-out handle, which makes it easy to remove the first box-shaped member from the frame-shaped member in an emergency, thereby improving the convenience of the box-shaped art of the present invention. The pull-out handle does not need to be particularly limited as long as it is configured to facilitate pulling out the first box-shaped member, and various configurations can be adopted, but typically it can be a band-shaped tag, as shown in Figure 3.

[0018] The second box-shaped member is stored in the first box-shaped member and serves the role of containing components for the emergency toilet or disaster prevention goods inside. The second box-shaped member does not need to be particularly limited as long as it fulfills this role, and can be in various shapes or forms. The second box-shaped member may typically have a hexahedral shape so as to be stored inside the first box-shaped member. In addition, the second box-shaped member is preferably configured to have an openable lid so that the internal components do not pop out when the second box-shaped member is removed from the frame-shaped member.

[0019] The second box-shaped member preferably comprises a bag-use box-shaped member for containing the bag, and a coagulant-use box-shaped member for containing the coagulant. This results in two types of members being contained in different box-shaped members, which has the effect of improving convenience when used as an emergency toilet. Furthermore, by containing an equal number of bags and coagulants, it is possible to use new, unused bags or coagulants when using the toilet, which has the effect of improving convenience and hygiene.

[0020] The second box-shaped member can be used by containing disaster prevention goods. There is no need to limit the disaster prevention goods as long as they are highly useful in emergencies when water, electricity, etc. cannot be used, and various goods can be used. Examples of such disaster prevention goods that can be used include oral care products, emergency food, whistles, LED lights, disaster towels, disaster blankets, hygiene products, wet wipes, disinfectant wipes, first aid kits, dry shampoo, batteries, work gloves, hand warmers, raincoats, masks, water bags, and portable radios.

[0021] In the present invention, the frame-shaped member or the art member can be configured as a member in which the frame-shaped member and the art member are integrated, as a different embodiment (modified example, FIG. 8). In such a case, art such as a printed painting is displayed on the frame-shaped member itself (front side), and an opening for inserting the first box-shaped member is provided on the side or top surface. In such cases, the box-type art of the present invention is configured as box-type art consisting of a frame-shaped member, a first box-shaped member, and a second box-shaped member, the frame-shaped member having a display section on the front where art is displayed, and an opening on one or both of the sides or on the top for inserting and fitting the first box-shaped member, the second box-shaped member being stored in the first box-shaped member and containing components for an emergency toilet, and being used as box-type art by fitting the first box-shaped member containing the second box-shaped member into the inside of the frame-shaped member through the opening of the frame-shaped member.

[0022] In the present invention, as a different aspect (variant example), the second box-shaped member can be a member integrated with the first box-shaped member. In such a case, the first box-shaped member itself is equipped with a lid for opening and closing, and the inside of the first box-shaped member is divided to provide multiple spaces, each of which functions as a second box-shaped member. In such a case, the box-type art of the present invention is configured as box-type art consisting of a frame-shaped member, a first box-shaped member, a transparent plate, and an art member, and the frame-shaped member has a display section on the front for displaying the art member, and an opening on one or both of the sides or on the top for inserting and fitting the first box-shaped member, and the first box-shaped member contains components for an emergency toilet and has a lid for opening and closing, and is used as box-type art by placing the art member and the transparent plate, in that order, on the top of the first box-shaped member, and fitting these together into the inside of the frame-shaped member through the opening of the frame-shaped member. EXAMPLES

[0023] The box-type art of the present invention will be explained using the drawings as examples.

[0024] Figure 1 shows how the box-type art of the present invention is used. It shows how the box-type art 1 is used by hanging it on the wall of a room. In this way, box-type art can be used in a natural way under normal circumstances without feeling out of place, and can be considered interior art that decorates a room.

[0025] Figure 2 shows how to pull out the inside of a box art. The box-type art 1 allows the components stored inside to be pulled out by pulling the drawer handle.

[0026] Figure 3 shows the internal components extracted from the box art and illustrated by each component. It can be seen that inside the box-shaped art 1, there are a first box-shaped member 3, a second box-shaped member 4 for coagulant, a second box-shaped member 4' for bags, an art member 5, and a transparent plate 6, all of which are stacked and stored in a frame-shaped member 2. The frame-shaped member 2 has a rectangular opening 21 and a square display section 22. The side opposite the opening 21 is also an opening, allowing a member to be inserted from either the left or right side. The first box-shaped member 3 has a strip-shaped tag 31 (a pull-out handle). The second box-shaped member is composed of two members, a slightly wider second box-shaped member 4' for the bag and a slightly narrower second box-shaped member 4 for the coagulant. As shown in Fig. 4, the second box-shaped member 4' for the bag stores an excretion bag inside, and the second box-shaped member 4 for the coagulant stores the coagulant inside. Print art is applied to the front side of the art member 5. In addition, by placing an acrylic plate 6 on the side on which the print art is displayed, it is possible to prevent deterioration of the print art during normal use.

[0027] FIG. 5 shows a modified example of box-type art, which has an opening on the upper side of the frame-shaped member.

[0028] Figures 6 and 7 are diagrams showing prototype examples of box-type art. The prototype shown in Figure 7 is based on Figure 6, with the only difference being the display of the art portion. Note that Figures 7h and i use art materials with specific characters printed on them, but because copyright restrictions mean that they must not be shown on the drawings, they are used upside down. The frame is made of wood and has a urethane coating, while the transparent plate is made of acrylic. Both the first and second box-shaped components are made of paper. The wider second box-shaped component stores 30 excrement bags in total, with 10 bags in each set. The narrower second box-shaped component stores 30 coagulants. This allows the prototype to be used as a toilet 30 times.

[0029] FIG. 8 shows a modified example of box-type art, in which the frame-shaped component and the art component are integrated into one piece. In this modified example, the frame-shaped member and the art member are integrated to form a box-shaped frame, which has an opening on the side and has art displayed directly on the front.
