[0026] Hereinafter, with reference to the drawings, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described. FIG. 1 is a perspective view for explaining an example of the configuration of a table system having a table 1 on which a mounted object 200 is mounted. FIG. 2 is a perspective view for explaining an example of the configuration of the table 1. The mounted object 200 is, for example, a wood stove.

[0027] The table 1 is an assembled table. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the table 1 includes a stand 10 and a table plate 11 detachably configured on the stand 10.

[0028] As shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, the stand 10 has a stand body 20 and two stand frames 21. FIG. 3 is a diagram for explaining a state in which the two stand frames 21 supporting the mounted object 200 are separated from the stand body 20, and FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining a state in which the stand frame 21 supporting the mounted object 200 is attached to the stand body 20. FIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining the configuration of the stand 10 itself.

[0029] As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the two stand frames 21 are configured to support the load 200 in a parallel state and are further configured to be detachable from the stand body 20 while supporting the load 200.

[0030] In one embodiment, the stand frame 21 has an elongated prismatic shape. The stand frame 21 has a hollow tubular shape inside. For example, the stand frame 21 is configured to support a supported portion 210 provided on the load 200. As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, for example, the supported portion 210 is a U-shaped frame portion composed of three sides attached to the side surface 201 of the load 200. The frame portion of the supported portion 210 opens in a horizontal direction (X direction) in the plane direction of the side surface 201. The frame portion of the supported portion 210 has an inner diameter slightly larger than that of the stand frame 21. The supported portion 210 is provided on each of the two opposite side surfaces 201 of the load 200. As shown in FIG. 6, two supported portions 210 (supported portions 210a and 210b) are provided on each side surface 201. The two supported portions 210 on each side surface 201 are provided so as to be aligned at the same horizontal height when the load 200 is placed in a normal posture. The supported portion 210 on one side surface 201 is provided at the same height as the supported portion 210 on the other side surface 201. Note that the number of supported portions 210 on each side surface 201 is not limited to two and may be one or three or more.

[0031] As shown in FIG. 3, the two stand frames 21 can support the load 200 by being inserted into the frame portions of the supported portions 210 on each side surface 201 of the load 200. The stand frame 21 is configured to support the load 200 at the central portion in the longitudinal direction (X direction) of the stand frame 21.

[0032] As shown in FIG. 8, each stand frame 21 is configured to be dividable into two parts. The stand frame 21 has a first frame piece 21a and a second frame piece 21b. The first frame piece 21a and the second frame piece 21b have approximately the same length and are configured to be connectable to each other. For example, the first frame piece 21a and the second frame piece 21b can be connected by inserting one frame piece into the inside of the other frame piece. Note that the number of divisions of the stand frame 21 is not limited to two and may be three or more.

[0033] As shown in FIG. 6, when the stand frame 21 supports the load 200, the first frame piece 21a is inserted into one supported portion 210a from the outside, the second frame piece 21b is inserted into the other supported portion 210b from the outside in the opposite direction, and the ends of the first frame piece 21a and the second frame piece 21b are connected to each other. Thereby, the first frame piece 21a and the second frame piece 21b become a single stand frame 21, and the load 200 can be supported.

[0034] The stand frame 21 further has a restraining portion 30 that restrains the supported load 200 from moving on the stand frame 21. The restraining portion 30 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the stand frame main body so that a part of the outer diameter of the stand frame 21 becomes larger. For example, the restraining portion 30 has a U-shaped frame shape composed of three sides. The control portion 30 is provided on three sides (the upper surface, the side surface, and the bottom surface) other than the side surface on the side surface 201 side of the load 200. The restraining portion 30 is provided on the stand frame main body so as to be located near the outside of the supported portion 210 of the load 200 supported at a predetermined position (the central portion) of the stand frame 21. Two restraining portions 30 are provided on each stand frame 21. When the load 200 attempts to move on the stand frame 21, the restraining portion 30 abuts against the supported portion 210 to restrain the movement of the load 200.

[0035] The stand frame 21 further has a defining portion 40 that defines the attachment / detachment position with respect to the stand body 20. The defining portion 40 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the stand frame main body so that the outer diameter of a part of the stand frame 21 becomes larger. For example, the defining portion 40 has a U-shaped frame shape composed of three sides. The defining portion 40 is provided on three sides (two side surfaces and the bottom surface) other than the upper surface of the stand frame 21. The defining portion 40 is provided on the end side of the stand frame 21 from the suppressing portion 30. As shown in FIG. 5, the defining portion 40 is attached to the stand frame main body so as to be located near the inside of the main body frame 80 described later when the stand frame 21 is attached to a predetermined position of the stand body 20. Two defining portions 40 are provided on each stand frame 21. The defining portion 40 enters inside the main body frame 80 when attaching the stand frame 21 to a predetermined position of the stand body 20, and defines the attachment / detachment position of the stand frame 21.

[0036] The stand frame 21 has table installation portions 50 at both of its ends where the table plate 11 is installed. The table installation portion 50 has a locking portion 60 for locking the table plate 11. For example, the locking portion 60 has a hook member 70 provided at the tip of the table installation portion 50 and a pin member 71 erected on the upper surface 50a of the table installation portion 50.

[0037] As shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, the stand body 20 includes two parallel main body frames 80 and a base portion 81. The main body frame 80 has an elongated shape that is long in one direction (Y direction). The main body frame 80 has a length comparable to that of the stand frame 21. The two main body frames 80 are provided on the upper part of the base portion 81 in parallel, horizontally, and at the same height. The two stand frames 21 are attached to and detached from the upper surfaces of the two main body frames 80 in a state orthogonal to the two main body frames 80.

[0038] Each main body frame 80 has a frame installation part 90 where the stand frame 21 is installed and a table installation part 91 where the table board 11 is installed. The frame installation part 90 is arranged at the center of the main body frame 80, and the table installation part 91 is arranged at both ends of the main body frame 80. The frame installation part 90 has an upper surface 90a on which the stand frame 21 is installed so as to be orthogonal to the main body frame 80. The table installation part 91 has an upper surface 91a that is higher than the upper surface 90a of the frame installation part 90. The upper surface 91a has the same height as the upper surface 50a of the table installation part 50 of the stand frame 21 installed on the frame installation part 90. The table installation part 91 has a vertical surface 91b perpendicular to the upper surface 90a on the frame installation part 90 side. The vertical surface 91b abuts against the outer surface 50b of the stand frame 21 and suppresses the stand frame 21 from moving in the lateral direction (Y direction) orthogonal to its longitudinal direction (X direction).

[0039] The table installation part 91 has a locking part 100 for locking the table board 11. The locking part 100 has a hook member 110 provided at the tip of the table installation part 91 and a pin member 111 erected on the upper surface 91a of the table installation part 91.

[0040] The main body frame 80 may be detachable from the base part 81. Each main body frame 80 may be dividable into a plurality of parts.

[0041] The base part 81 has four support columns 120 and a plurality of sub-frames 121. The four support columns 120 are arranged at positions corresponding to the four corner parts of a virtual quadrangle formed on the table installation surface. The plurality of sub-frames 121 connect adjacent support columns 120. The sub-frames 121 connecting adjacent support columns 120 intersect when viewed from the side of the table 1, and suppress the user's feet from entering the inside of the sub-frames 121. The base part 81 may be of an assembled type or a foldable type.

[0042] As shown in FIG. 1, the tabletop 11 is disposed on the upper surface of the stand 10. The table 11 is configured to be detachable from the stand 10. The tabletop 11 has four tabletop pieces 130. The tabletop pieces 130 are attached to the stand 10 so as to surround the load 200 supported by the stand frame 21. The four tabletop pieces 130 are arranged in a frame shape so as to form the sides of a quadrilateral. Further, the four tabletop pieces 130 are attached to the stand 10 so as to create a space OP1 between them and the load 200.

[0043] As shown in FIG. 9, the tabletop piece 130 has an outer surface 130a having a first hole 140 into which the hook member 70 of the stand frame 21 is locked and a second hole 141 into which the hook member 110 of the main body frame 80 is locked. The tabletop piece 130 has a plate surface 130b having a third hole 150 into which the pin member 71 of the stand frame 21 is locked and a fourth hole 151 into which the pin member 111 of the main body frame 80 is locked. As shown in FIG. 10, two of the tabletop pieces 130 are attached to the table installation portion 50 of the stand frame 21, and the other two tabletop pieces 130 are attached to the table installation portion 91 of the main body frame 80 as shown in FIG. 11. Note that the number of the tabletop pieces 130 is not limited to four, and may be one to three, or five or more.

[0044] When the table 1 configured as described above is in use, as shown in FIG. 3, the stand main body 20 is assembled. At this time, first, the base portion 81 may be assembled, and then the main body frame 80 may be attached onto the base portion 81. On the other hand, each of the two stand frames 21 is inserted into the supported portion 210 of each side surface 201 of the load 200, and the load 200 is supported by the two parallel stand frames 21. At this time, as shown in FIG. 6, the first frame piece 21a and the second frame piece 21b of the stand frame 21 are inserted into the supported portion 210 from opposite directions and connected to each other.

[0045] Next, the two stand frames 21 are lifted by a plurality of users and carried onto the stand body 20 as shown in FIG. 3. At this time, even if the two stand frames 21 are tilted, the movement of the mounted object 200 is suppressed by the suppression unit 30.

[0046] Next, as shown in FIG. 4, the stand frame 21 is attached to the upper surface of the main body frame 80 of the stand body 20. At this time, the stand frame 21 is attached to the upper surface 90a of the frame installation portion 90 of the main body frame 80 so as to be orthogonal to the main body frame 80. At this time, the attachment position of the stand frame 21 is defined by the defining portion 40. The movement of the stand frame 21 attached to the stand body 20 in the longitudinal direction (X direction) is suppressed by the defining portion 40. Further, the movement of the stand frame 21 attached to the stand body 20 in the lateral direction (Y direction) is suppressed by the vertical surface 91b of the table installation portion 91.

[0047] Next, as shown in FIG. 1, the table plate 11 is attached to the upper surfaces of the stand frame 21 and the main body frame 80 of the stand 10. At this time, as shown in FIG. 10, the first hole 140 of the table plate 11 is locked to the hook member 70 of the stand frame 21, and the third hole 150 is locked to the pin member 71. As shown in FIG. 11, the second hole 141 of the table plate 11 is locked to the hook member 110 of the main body frame 80, and the fourth hole 151 is locked to the pin member 111. Thus, as shown in FIG. 1, the table 1 is assembled.

[0048] When disassembling the table 1, the table plate 11 is removed from the stand 10, the two stand frames 21 are removed from the stand body 20 and carried. Thereafter, the two stand frames 21 are removed from the mounted object 200.

[0049] According to this embodiment, the table 1 includes a stand 10 and a tabletop 11. The stand 10 has a stand body 20 and two stand frames 21. The two stand frames 21 are configured to support the load 200 in a parallel state and are configured to be detachable from the stand body 20 while supporting the load 200. Thereby, the user can support the load 200 on the two stand frames 21, carry the two stand frames 21, and attach them to the stand body 20. As a result, the load 200 can be easily carried and installed on the table 1.

[0050] In this embodiment, the supported portion 210 of the load 200 has a frame-shaped portion, and the stand frame 21 supports the load 200 by being inserted into the frame-shaped portion. Thereby, the user can easily support the load 200 on the two stand frames 21.

[0051] In this embodiment, the stand frame 21 has a restraining portion 30 that restrains the supported load 200 from moving on the stand frame 21. Thereby, the movement of the load 200 relative to the stand frame 21 is suppressed, and it becomes easier to carry the load 200 using the stand frame 21.

[0052] In this embodiment, each stand frame 21 is configured to be divisible into a plurality of parts, so it is easy to attach the stand frame 21 to the load 200. Also, the stand frame 21 is easy to handle.

[0053] Since the stand frame 21 has a defining portion 40 that defines the attachment / detachment position with respect to the stand body 20, it is easy to attach the stand frame 21 supporting the load 200 to the stand body 20.

[0054] Since the tabletop 11 is detachably attached to the upper surface of the stand frame 21, the stand frame 21 can be used as a frame for supporting the tabletop 11. Thereby, the structure of the table 1 can be simplified.

[0055] Since the stand frame 21 has a locking portion 60 for locking the table board 11, the table board 11 can be properly locked.

[0056] The stand body 20 has two parallel main body frames 80, and the two stand frames 21 are detachably attached to the upper surfaces of the two main body frames 80 in a state orthogonal to the two main body frames 80. Thereby, the strength of the table 1 is improved, and the load 200 can be properly supported.

[0057] The table board 11 is attached to the stand 10 so as to surround the load 200 supported by the stand frame 21 attached to the stand body 20. Thereby, the load 200 can be installed at the center of the table board 11.

[0058] Since the table board 11 is attached to the stand 10 so that a space OP1 is formed between the table board 11 and the load 200, for example, when the load 200 generates heat, the distance between the load 200 and the table board 11 and the user can be ensured.

[0059] In the present embodiment, since the load 200 is a wood stove, the heavy wood stove can be easily carried and installed on the table 1 using the two stand frames 21.

[0060] In the above embodiment, the stand frame 21 is configured to support the supported portion 210 provided on the load 200, but the stand frame 21 may have a support portion for supporting the load 200. In this case, the stand frame 21 may have a support portion such as a plate-like shape for placing and supporting the load 200.

[0061] In the above embodiment, the table 1 may be used inside a tent. The load 200 is not limited to a wood stove and may be other stoves. The load 200 may be a stove, a hibachi, a container, an electrical appliance, or the like.
