[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a furniture system. [Background technology]

[0002] Patent Document 1 discloses a furniture unit including four pillars spaced apart in the front-to-rear and left-to-right directions and a shelf board spanning between the four pillars. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Patent Publication No. 2021-65608 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] In the furniture unit disclosed in Patent Document 1, the two pillars on one side in the left-right direction and the two pillars on the other side in the left-right direction are each disposed outside the shelf board in the left-right direction, i.e., in the width direction of the furniture. Therefore, both left-right ends of the shelf board are positioned inside in the left-right direction (width direction) of the two pillars on one side in the left-right direction and the two pillars on the other side in the left-right direction. For example, when multiple such furniture units are arranged in the left-right direction, a gap is created between the shelf board of one furniture unit on one side and the shelf board of the other furniture unit on the other side. This can cause items placed on the shelf board by users to fall through the gap. Moreover, in order to pick up items that have fallen through the gap, the furniture unit must be moved, which can be time-consuming and reduces usability. For this reason, it is desirable to prevent items from falling through the gaps in the fixture units. The present invention aims to provide a furniture system that prevents items from falling through gaps and is easy to use. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention employs the following aspects. (1) A fixture system according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises a first column portion having a front column and a rear column spaced apart in the front-to-rear direction, a second column portion having a front column and a rear column spaced apart in the front-to-rear direction and spaced apart in the left-to-right direction from the first column portion, a first intermediate member having an upwardly facing top surface and disposed between opposing surfaces of the first column portion and the second column portion that face each other in the left-to-right direction, another fixture member disposed on the opposite side of the opposing surface of the first column portion in the left-to-right direction from the first column portion, and a blocking member having an upwardly facing surface that is disposed between the front column and the rear column of the first column portion and blocks a gap in the left-to-right direction between the top surface of the first intermediate member and the other fixture member. According to this aspect, the first intermediate member and the other fixture member are provided on one side and the other side of the first column portion in the left-right direction, and there is a left-right gap between the top surface of the first intermediate member and the other fixture member. The blocking member is disposed between the front column and the rear column of the first column portion, and blocks the left-right gap between the top surface of the first intermediate member and the other member. Therefore, items are prevented from falling through the gap between the top surface of the first intermediate member and the other fixture member. As a result, it is possible to provide a fixture system that is easy to use and prevents items from falling through the gap.

[0006] (2) In the fixture system relating to the above aspect (1), a first fixture unit having the first pillar portion, the second pillar portion, and the first intermediate member, and a second fixture unit having the other fixture members are arranged side by side in the left-right direction, and it is preferable that the upward surface of the blocking member blocks the gap between the top surface of the first intermediate member of the first fixture unit and the other fixture members of the second fixture unit. According to this aspect, a first fixture unit equipped with a first intermediate member and a second fixture unit having other fixture members are arranged side by side in the left-right direction, and the upward surface of the blocking member blocks the gap between the top surface of the first intermediate member of the first fixture unit and the other fixture members of the second fixture unit, thereby preventing items from falling through the gap between the first intermediate member of the first fixture unit and the other fixture members of the second fixture unit.

[0007] (3) In the fixture system relating to the aspect (2) above, the second fixture unit comprises a third pillar portion having front and rear pillars spaced apart in the front-to-rear direction and arranged adjacent to the first pillar portion in the left-to-right direction on the opposite side of the opposing surface of the first pillar portion, a fourth pillar portion having front and rear pillars spaced apart in the front-to-rear direction and arranged opposite the first pillar portion in the left-to-right direction from the third pillar portion, and a second intermediate member as the other fixture member having a top surface facing upward and arranged between the opposing surfaces of the third pillar portion and the fourth pillar portion that face each other in the left-to-right direction, and it is preferable that the upward surface of the blocking member blocks the gap between the top surface of the first intermediate member and the top surface of the second intermediate member. According to this aspect, in a configuration in which the second furniture unit includes a second intermediate member as another furniture member, the upward surface of the blocking member blocks the gap between the top surface of the first intermediate member and the top surface of the second intermediate member, thereby making it possible to prevent articles from falling through the gap between the first intermediate member of the first furniture unit and the second intermediate member of the second furniture unit.

[0008] (4) In the fixture system relating to the above aspect (3), it is preferable that the blocking member has a forward-facing surface facing forward and a rearward-facing surface facing rearward, the forward-facing surface abutting the rear surface of the front column of the first column portion of the first fixture unit and the rear surface of the front column of the third column portion of the second fixture unit, and the rearward surface abutting the front surface of the rear column of the first column portion of the first fixture unit and the front surface of the rear column of the third column portion of the second fixture unit. According to this aspect, the forward surface of the blocking member abuts against the rear surface of the front column of the first column portion of the first fixture unit and the third column portion of the second fixture unit, and the rear surface abuts against the front surface of the rear column of the first column portion of the first fixture unit and the third column portion of the second fixture unit. As a result, the blocking member is provided so as to straddle the first column portion of the first fixture unit and the second column portion of the second fixture unit in the left-right direction. Then, the forward surface and rear surface of the blocking member abut against the rear surface of the front column of the first column portion of the first fixture unit and the third column portion of the second fixture unit, and the forward surface of the rear column, so that the first fixture unit and the second fixture unit are restrained so as not to be able to move relative to each other in the front-rear direction. This prevents the first fixture unit and the second fixture unit from being misaligned in the front-rear direction, and improves the appearance of the fixture system.

[0009] (5) In the fixture system relating to the above aspect (1), a fifth pillar portion is provided having a front pillar and a rear pillar spaced apart in the front-to-rear direction, the front pillar and the rear pillar being spaced apart on the opposite side of the second pillar portion in the left-right direction across the first pillar portion, and the other fixture member is a third intermediate member having an upwardly facing top surface and provided between opposing surfaces of the first pillar portion and the fifth pillar portion that face each other in the left-to-right direction, and it is preferable that the upward surface of the blocking member blocks the gap between the top surface of the first intermediate member and the top surface of the third intermediate member between the front pillar and the rear pillar of the first pillar portion. According to this aspect, a first intermediate member provided between the first column portion and the second column portion, and a third intermediate member provided between the first column portion and the fifth column portion are provided on one side of the first column portion in the left-right direction and the other side of the first column portion. A gap exists between the top surface of the first intermediate member and the third intermediate member in the left-right direction. The blocking member blocks the gap in the left-right direction between the top surface of the first intermediate member and the third intermediate member as another furniture member. Therefore, it is possible to prevent items from falling through the gap between the top surface of the first intermediate member and the third intermediate member. As a result, it is possible to provide a furniture system that is easy to use and prevents items from falling through the gap.

[0010] (6) In a fixture system according to any one of the above aspects (1) to (5), it is preferable that the upward surface of the closing member is flush with the top surface of the first intermediate member. According to this aspect, the upward surface of the closing member is flush with the top surface of the first intermediate member, which improves appearance. In addition, when an article is placed across the upward surface of the closing member and the top surface of the first intermediate member, the article can be stably placed.

[0011] (7) In a fixture system according to any one of the above aspects (1) to (6), it is preferable that the blocking member is joined to both the front column and the rear column at the first column portion. According to this aspect, the blocking member is joined to both the front and rear columns of the first column portion, so that the first column portion, the front column, and the rear column are firmly joined via the blocking member. In this way, the blocking member functions as a reinforcing element for the first column portion, and can contribute to increasing the strength of the fixture system.

[0012] (8) In the fixture system relating to the aspect (7) above, it is preferable that the blocking member further includes a beam portion extending in the front-to-rear direction at a portion located below the upward surface. According to this aspect, the blocking member further includes a beam portion extending in the front-to-rear direction, which increases the strength of the blocking member and enables the first column portion to be reinforced more effectively.

[0013] (9) In a fixture system relating to any one of the above aspects (1) to (8), it is preferable that at least one of the column portions has a baseboard member extending in the fore-and-aft direction and connecting the lower end of the front column and the lower end of the rear column, and that the blocking member is placed on the baseboard member. According to this aspect, since the blocking member is placed on the baseboard member, the position of the blocking member in the up-down direction can be easily determined when the blocking member is attached. This makes it easy to adjust the height of the upward surface of the blocking member relative to the top surface of the first intermediate member, thereby improving workability.

[0014] (10) In a fixture system relating to any one of the above aspects (1) to (9), it is preferable that the blocking member has a panel portion facing at least one side in the left-right direction and blocking the space between the front column and the rear column in the left-right direction. According to this aspect, since the blocking member has a panel portion, the space between the front pillar and the rear pillar is blocked in the left-right direction, which prevents items placed between the first pillar portion and the second pillar portion from being exposed, and improves the appearance.

[0015] (11) In a fixture system relating to any one of the above aspects (1) to (10), it is preferable that the blocking member is provided only below the vertical middle portion of the front column and the rear column in the first column portion. According to this aspect, the blocking member is provided only below the vertical middle portion of the front and rear columns of the first column portion, so that the blocking member is not provided above the vertical middle portion of the front and rear columns of the first column portion, and the space between the front and rear columns can be opened. This makes it possible to provide a fixture system that reduces the feeling of being closed in and oppressed and enhances the feeling of openness.

[0016] (12) In the fixture system according to any one of the above aspects (1) to (11), the first intermediate member is preferably a shelf board. According to this aspect, the blocking member blocks the gap in the left-right direction between the top surface of the shelf board, which is the first intermediate member, and the other furniture member. Therefore, it is possible to prevent items from falling through the gap between the top surface of the shelf board and the other furniture member.

[0017] (13) In the fixture system relating to the above aspect (12), it is preferable that the fixture system further comprises a box-shaped unit arranged on at least one side in the left-right direction of the blocking member and having a front-end opening that opens forward, and that the blocking member is joined to a portion of the box-shaped unit that is exposed through the front column and the rear column space in the first column portion. According to this aspect, the provision of the box-shaped unit can improve the storage capacity of the furniture system. The closing member is joined to a portion of the box-shaped unit that is exposed through the front column and the rear column space of the first column portion, thereby fixing the box-shaped unit to the closing member and suppressing displacement of the box-shaped unit.

[0018] (14) In the fixture system according to any one of the above aspects (1) to (11), the first intermediate member is preferably a box-shaped unit having a front end opening that opens forward. According to this aspect, the blocking member blocks the gap between the top surface of the box-shaped unit, which is the first intermediate member, and the other fixture member in the left-right direction. Therefore, it is possible to prevent items from falling through the gap between the top surface of the box-shaped unit and the other fixture member. In addition, by providing the box-shaped unit, it is possible to improve the storage capacity of the fixture system. Effect of the Invention

Thereafter, the unit bodies 61 of the box-shaped units 6A and 6B are inserted into the lower parts of the first fixture unit 2A and the second fixture unit 2B. Then, the side surfaces 6s and 6t of the box-shaped units 6A and 6B are joined to the closing member 8 with bolts, screws, etc. (not shown). Thereafter, the drawers 63 are attached to the unit bodies 61 of the box-shaped units 6A and 6B. In this way, the fixture system 1A is assembled.

[0047] Thus, in this embodiment, shelf board 5A and shelf board 5B are provided on one side and the other side of right column portion 21A in the left-right direction, and a gap S1 in the left-right direction is provided between top surface 51 of shelf board 5A and shelf board 5B. Blocking member 8 is disposed between the front column 211 and the rear column 212 of right column portion 21A, and blocks the gap S1 in the left-right direction between top surface 51 of shelf board 5A and shelf board 5B. This configuration prevents articles from falling through the gap S1 between the top surface 51 of the shelf board 5A and the shelf board 5B. As a result, it is possible to provide a furniture system 1A that prevents articles from falling through the gap S1 and is easy to use.

[0048] In this embodiment, a first furniture unit 2A having a shelf 5A and a second furniture unit 2B having a shelf 5B are arranged side by side in the left-right direction, and the upward surface 82f of the closing member 8 closes the gap S1 between the shelf 5A (top surface 51) of the first furniture unit 2A and the shelf 5B (top surface 51) of the second furniture unit 2B. This configuration makes it possible to prevent articles from falling through the gap S1 between the shelf 5A of the first furniture unit 2A and the shelf 5B of the second furniture unit 2B.

[0049] In this embodiment, in a configuration in which the second furniture unit 2B includes a shelf board 5B, the upward surface 82f of the closing member 8 closes the gap S1 between the top surface 51 of the shelf board 5A and the top surface 51 of the shelf board 5B. This makes it possible to prevent articles from falling through the gap S1 between the shelf board 5A of the first furniture unit 2A and the shelf board 5B of the second furniture unit 2B.

[0050] In this embodiment, the front surface 84f of the blocking member 8 abuts against the rear surfaces 211r, 221r ​​of the right column portion 21A of the first fixture unit 2A and the front columns 211, 221 of the left column portion 22B of the second fixture unit 2B, and the rear surface 85f abuts against the front surfaces 212f, 222f of the right column portion 21A of the first fixture unit 2A and the rear columns 212, 222 of the left column portion 22B of the second fixture unit 2B. As a result, the blocking member 8 is provided so as to straddle the right column portion 21A of the first fixture unit 2A and the left column portion 22A of the second fixture unit 2B in the left-right direction. The blocking member 8 restrains the first fixture unit 2A and the second fixture unit 2B so that they cannot move relative to each other in the front-rear direction. This prevents the first fixture unit 2A and the second fixture unit 2B from shifting in position in the front-to-rear direction, improving the appearance of the fixture system 1A.

[0051] In this embodiment, the upward surface 82f of the upper plate portion 82 is provided so as to be flush with the top surface 51 of the shelf board 5A of the first furniture unit 2A and the top surface 51 of the shelf board 5B of the second furniture unit 2B, thereby improving the appearance. Also, when an article is placed across the top surface 51 of the shelf board 5A of the first furniture unit 2A, the upward surface 82f of the upper plate portion 82, and the top surface 51 of the shelf board 5B of the second furniture unit 2B, the article can be placed stably.

[0052] In this embodiment, the blocking member 8 is joined to both the front column 211 and the rear column 212 in at least one of the right column portion 21A and the left column portion 22B, so that the front column 211 and the rear column 212 in at least one of the right column portion 21A and the left column portion 22B are firmly joined via the blocking member 8. In this way, the blocking member 8 functions as a reinforcing element in at least one of the right column portion 21A and the left column portion 22B, and can contribute to increasing the strength of the fixture system 1A.

[0053] In this embodiment, the blocking member 8 further includes a beam portion 86 extending in the front-rear direction, thereby increasing the strength of the blocking member 8 and enabling the right column portion 21A and the left column portion 22B to be reinforced more effectively.

[0054] In this embodiment, the blocking member 8 is placed on the baseboard member 4, so that the position of the blocking member 8 in the up-down direction can be easily determined when attaching the blocking member 8. This makes it easy to match the height of the upward surface 82f of the blocking member 8 with respect to the top surface 51 of the shelf board 5A, improving workability.

[0055] In this embodiment, the blocking member 8 has a panel portion 81, which blocks the space between the front column 211 and the rear column 212 in the left-right direction. This prevents items placed between the right column portion 21A and the left column portion 22A from being exposed, and improves the appearance.

[0056] In this embodiment, the blocking member 8 is provided only below the vertical middle parts of the front column 211 and the rear column 212 in the right column section 21A and the left column section 22B, so that the blocking member 8 is not provided above the vertical middle parts of the front column 211 and the rear column 212 in the right column section 21A and the left column section 22B, and the space between the front column 211 and the rear column 212 can be opened. This makes it possible to provide a fixture system 1A that reduces a feeling of closed-in and oppressiveness and enhances a feeling of openness.

[0057] In this embodiment, a box-shaped unit 6 is provided on both the left and right sides of the closing member 8. This configuration can provide a furniture system 1A that improves the storage capacity of the box-shaped unit 6. Furthermore, the closing member 8 is joined to the side surfaces 6s, 6t of the box-shaped unit 6, which are exposed between the front column 211 and the rear column 212 of the right column portion 21A. This configuration can fix the box-shaped unit 6 to the closing member 8, and suppress displacement of the box-shaped unit 6.

[0072] In such a furniture system 1D, the closing member 8 closes the gap S4 between the top surface 65 of the box-shaped unit 6A and the top surface 65 of the box-shaped unit 6B. This prevents items from falling through the gap S4. In addition, by providing the box-shaped units 6A and 6B, the furniture system 1D can improve its ability to store items.

[0073] In the above-described embodiment, the other fixture members are shelves, top plates, box-shaped units, etc., but the present invention is not limited to this configuration. As the other fixture members, various components constituting fixtures, such as lighting devices, can be used. In the above-described embodiment, the various fixture units, such as shelves and fixtures with tops, include shelf boards as other fixture members, but the present invention is not limited to this configuration. As the other fixture members, only shelf boards may protrude from the first pillar portion 21A, etc.

[0074] For example, in the first embodiment, a configuration has been described in which the blocking member 8 is provided to fill the gap between the front column 211 and the rear column 212 of the right column portion 21A of the first fixture unit 2A, and the gap between the front column 221 and the rear column 222 of the left column portion 22B of the second fixture unit 2B, but the present invention is not limited to this configuration. It is sufficient that the blocking member 8 blocks at least the gap (gap S1) between the top surface 51 of the shelf board 5A and the top surface 51 of the shelf board 5B. For example, in the first embodiment, the closing member 8 is placed on the baseboard member 4, but the present invention is not limited to this configuration. The closing member 8 may be placed on the floor surface F.

[0075] In addition, within the scope of the invention, the components in the above-described embodiments may be replaced with well-known components, and the above-described modified examples may be combined as appropriate. [Explanation of symbols]
