DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0009] Hereinafter, embodiments will be described in detail with reference to the drawings as appropriate. However, more detailed description than necessary may be omitted. For example, detailed description of well-known matters or redundant description of substantially identical configurations may be omitted. This is to avoid unnecessary redundancy in the following description and to facilitate understanding by those skilled in the art. Note that the accompanying drawings and the following description are provided to enable those skilled in the art to fully understand the present disclosure, and are not intended to limit the subject matter described in the claims.

[0010] 1 is a perspective view of a capsule bed 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The capsule bed 1 can be easily assembled by combining the various components, and can provide a living space for people.

[0011] The capsule bed 1 has an overall rectangular parallelepiped shape, and the internal space that opens into the opening P is the living space for a person. In the rectangular parallelepiped shape that is the exterior shape of the capsule bed 1, the horizontal long direction of the unit is the X direction, the horizontal short direction of the unit is the Y direction, and the vertical direction is the Z direction.

[0012] The capsule bed 1 mainly comprises two side panels 10, a plurality of beam members 21 to 26 stretched between the two side panels 10 to connect the two side panels 10, first and second flat floor members 41, 43 and first and second ceiling members 42, 44 respectively provided between the two side panels 10, a headboard panel 50 positioned at the rear of the capsule bed 1, a ladder 70 for people to enter the living space above, and a deck 75.

[0013] The two side panels 10, the first floor member 41, the first ceiling member 42, and the headboard panel 50 form a lower living space with an opening P, and the two side panels 10, the second floor member 43, the second ceiling member 44, and the headboard panel 50 form an upper living space with an opening P.

[0014] 1 and 2, a plurality of capsule beds 1 can be arranged in the Y direction by, for example, sharing one of the two side panels 10 and connecting the plurality of side panels 10 using a plurality of beam members 21 to 26. That is, a capsule bed unit 100 having a plurality of capsule beds 1 is formed by connecting a plurality of side panels 10 arranged at equal intervals in the Y direction using a plurality of beam members 21 to 26.

[0015] In this specification, the "lower side" refers to the side closest to the ground in the Z direction of the capsule bed 1, and the "upper side" refers to the side farthest from the ground. Furthermore, the "front side" refers to the side where the opening P through which a person enters the living space is located, and the "rear side" refers to the side farthest from the opening P in the X direction of the capsule bed 1, where the headboard panel 50 is located.

[0016] The two side panels 10 are arranged facing each other with their main surfaces parallel to each other along the X direction and stand upright vertically from the floor. Each side panel 10 mainly comprises four panel pieces 11-14 having the same rectangular shape (including squares and rectangles) and first to third fixing members for fixing the four panel pieces 11-14 together: a lower liner 31, an upper liner 32, and an intermediate liner 33. The side panel 10 is formed by connecting the four panel pieces 11-14 using the liners 31-33, thereby arranging the four panel pieces 11-14 in the horizontal direction (X direction) and the vertical direction (Z direction). The four panel pieces 11-14 are a first panel piece 11, a second panel piece 12, a third panel piece 13, and a fourth panel piece 14. The side panel 10 may be composed of more panel pieces.

[0017] As shown in Figure 1, the first panel piece 11 and the second panel piece 12 are aligned horizontally. The third panel piece 13 and the fourth panel piece 14 are aligned horizontally. The first panel piece 11 and the third panel piece 13 are aligned vertically. The second panel piece 12 and the fourth panel piece 14 are aligned vertically. In this way, the four small, easily portable panel pieces 11-14 can be brought individually to an assembly site, such as an evacuation shelter, and then assembled by aligning them horizontally and vertically using the liners 31-33 to assemble the large side panel 10.

[0018] As shown in Fig. 3, each of the panel pieces 11 to 14 includes a rectangular panel body 15, and two horizontal frames 16 and two vertical frames 17 that surround the periphery of the panel body 15. The horizontal frames 16 and the vertical frames 17 are attached to the sides that are the outer edges of the panel body 15 and surround the periphery of the panel body 15, thereby ensuring the strength of each of the panel pieces 11 to 14.

[0019] The panel body 15 is formed by attaching a finishing material to a core material, such as a paper honeycomb core. The finishing material is formed, for example, from MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard) and decorative paper. As shown in Figures 4(a) and (b), the horizontal frames 16 and vertical frames 17 are formed, for example, from extruded aluminum material and are hollow inside to reduce weight.

[0020] FIG. 5 is a diagram showing the procedure for attaching the horizontal frame 16 and the vertical frame 17 to the periphery of the panel main body 15. For example, the user places the abutment portions 16a (see FIG. 4(a)) of the horizontal frame 16 on the upper and lower sides of the panel main body 15, and then, while interposing the backing plates 18 between the horizontal frame 16 and the vertical frame 17, joins the vertical frame 17 to the horizontal frame 16 using screws 81. As a result, the abutment portions 17a (see FIG. 4(b)) of the vertical frame 17 can be positioned on both sides of the panel main body 15. Such assembly of the panel pieces 11 to 14 can be easily performed. However, the method and order of attaching the horizontal frame 16 and the vertical frame 17 are not particularly limited.

[0021] As shown in FIGS. 4(a) and 4(b), nut members 19 for fastening the liners 31 to 33 and the beam members 21 to 26 are attached to the horizontal frame 16 and the vertical frame 17 at predetermined positions.

[0022] The lower liner 31, the upper liner 32, and the intermediate liner 33 are made of, for example, metal. As shown in Figures 1, 2, and 6, the lower liner 31, which is the first fixing member, is a linear member that fixes the horizontal frame 16 of the first panel piece 11 and the horizontal frame 16 of the second panel piece 12, which form the lower edges connected in a straight line in the horizontal direction, over approximately their entire length.

[0023] As shown in Figures 1, 2, and 7, the upper liner 32, which is the third fixing member, is a linear member that fixes the horizontal frame 16 of the third panel piece 13 and the horizontal frame 16 of the fourth panel piece 14, which are the upper edges connected in a straight line in the horizontal direction, over almost their entire length.

[0024] As shown in Figures 2 and 8, the second fixing member, the intermediate liner 33, is a linear member that fixes the horizontal frames 16 of the first panel piece 11 and the second panel piece 12, which form the upper edges, and the horizontal frames 16 of the third panel piece 14 and the horizontal frames 16 of the fourth panel piece 14, which form the lower edges, over almost their entire lengths. The lengths of the lower liner 31, the upper liner 32, and the intermediate liner 33 are all approximately equal to the total length of the two horizontal frames 16 of the two panel pieces 11-14.

[0025] The specific shapes of the lower liner 31 and the upper liner 32 will be described below. As shown in Figure 6, the lower liner 31 has a connecting portion 31a formed along the longitudinal direction and having a U-shaped cross section that opens upward to accommodate the horizontal frame 16 of the first panel piece 11 and the horizontal frame 16 of the second panel piece 12, which form the lower side, and two long flange portions 31b that bend away from each other from the upper edge of the connecting portion 31a and extend horizontally to support the longitudinal edge portion 41a of the first floor member 41.

[0026] The upper liner 32 is also formed in the longitudinal direction and has a connecting portion 32a with a U-shaped cross section that opens downward to accommodate the horizontal frame 16 of the third panel piece 13 and the horizontal frame 16 of the fourth panel piece 14, which form the upper edge, and two long flange portions 32b that bend away from each other and extend horizontally from the lower edge portions of the connecting portion 32a, supporting the longitudinal edge portion 44a of the second ceiling member 44. That is, the lower liner 31 and the upper liner 32 are the same member having the same shape, and therefore the number of parts can be reduced.

[0027] The intermediate liner 33 has a flat connecting portion 33a formed along the longitudinal direction and connected to the horizontal frames 16 of the first panel piece 11 and the second panel piece 12, which form the upper edge, and the horizontal frames 16 of the third panel piece 13 and the horizontal frames 16 of the fourth panel piece 14, which form the lower edge; a long lower flange portion 33b that bends from the lower edge of the connecting portion 33a and extends horizontally to support the longitudinal edge 42a of the first ceiling member 42; and a long upper flange portion 33c that bends from the upper edge of the connecting portion 33a and extends horizontally to support the longitudinal edge 43a of the second floor member 43. Therefore, the intermediate liner 33 has a U-shaped cross section formed by the connecting portion 33a, the lower flange portion 33b, and the upper flange portion 33c.

[0028] Each of the liners 31-33 connects the four panel pieces 11-14 by threading a screw 82 into a nut member 19 provided on the horizontal frame 16 of the four panel pieces 11-14. Specifically, the lower liner 31 connects the lower sides of the first panel piece 11 and the second panel piece 12, the upper liner 32 connects the upper sides of the third panel piece 13 and the fourth panel piece 14, and the middle liner 33 connects the upper sides of the first panel piece 11 and the second panel piece 12 and the lower sides of the third panel piece 13 and the fourth panel piece 14, thereby allowing the side panel 10 to be assembled with high strength through simple work.

[0029] Leg members 35 are attached to the bottom surface of the lower liner 31. The leg members 35 are members that come into direct contact with the ground and support the capsule bed 1. As shown in Fig. 1, for example, three leg members 35 are provided in the longitudinal direction of the lower liner 31. The length of each leg member 35 is adjustable, and the user can position the capsule bed 1 horizontally by adjusting the length of each leg member 35.

[0030] Next, the beam members 21 to 26 will be described. The beam members 21 to 26 are linear members stretched between the two side panels 10 so as to connect the two side panels 10, and are all made of, for example, metal. As shown in Figures 9, 11, 14, etc., the beam members 21 to 26 include a first rear beam member 21, a second rear beam member 25, a third rear beam member 22, a first front beam member 23, a second front beam member 26, and a third front beam member 24.

[0031] As shown in FIG. 9, the first rear beam member 21 connects the lower ends of the vertical frames 17 of the first panel pieces 11 that form the rear sides of the two side panels 10, respectively. The second rear beam member 25 connects the upper end of the vertical frame 17 of the first panel piece 11, which forms the rear side edge, and the lower end of the vertical frame 17 of the third panel piece 13 of each of the two side panels 10. The third rear beam member 22 connects the upper ends of the vertical frames 17 of the third panel pieces 13 that form the rear sides of the two side panels 10, respectively.

[0032] 11(b), the first front beam member 23 connects the lower ends of the vertical frames 17 of the second panel pieces 12 that form the front sides of the two side panels 10. As shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 11( a ), the third front beam member 24 connects the upper ends of the vertical frames 17 of the fourth panel pieces 14 that form the front sides of the two side panels 10 . Furthermore, as shown in Figure 14, the second front beam member 26 connects the upper end of the vertical frame 17 of the second panel piece 12, which forms the front side edge of each of the two side panels 10, to the lower end of the vertical frame 17 of the third panel piece 13.

[0033] In this way, when two side panels 10 are connected by multiple beam members 21 to 26, the upright posture of the two side panels 10 can be maintained and the distance between the two side panels 10 can be maintained, thereby ensuring living space. Furthermore, the distance between the two side panels 10 is approximately equal to the lengths of the first and second floor members 41, 43 and the first and second ceiling members 42, 44 in the short direction.

[0034] As a result, as shown in Figure 6, the first floor member 41 is placed by its two longitudinal edges 41a on the flange portions 31b of the lower liners 31 fixed to each of the two side panels 10, and is supported by the lower liners 31 of the two side panels 10. Also, as shown in Figure 7, the second ceiling member 44 is supported by the upper liners 32 of the two side panels 10, with its two longitudinal edges 42a fitted into the flange portions 32b of the upper liners 32 fixed to each of the two side panels 10.

[0035] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 8, the second floor member 43 is supported by its two longitudinal edges 43a on the upper flange portions 33c of the intermediate liners 33 fixed to each of the two side panels 10, and is supported by the intermediate liners 33 of the two side panels 10. In addition, the first ceiling member 42 is supported by the intermediate liners 33 of the two side panels 10, with its two longitudinal edges 42a fitted into the lower flange portions 33b of the intermediate liners 33 fixed to each of the two side panels 10.

[0036] The longitudinal edge portions 42a of the first and second ceiling members 42, 44 are formed by separate elongated metal fittings with an L-shaped cross section that sandwich the side edges of the ceiling panel main bodies of the ceiling members 42, 44.

[0037] As a result, the first and second floor members 41, 43 and the first and second ceiling members 42, 44 can be easily supported by the flange portions 31b, 32b, 33b, 33c of the lower liner 31, the upper liner 32, and the intermediate liner 33, respectively, making it possible to easily secure two living spaces. Note that the method of supporting the first and second floor members 41, 43 and the first and second ceiling members 42, 44 on the lower liner 31, the upper liner 32, and the intermediate liner 33 is not limited to placing or fitting, and they may be fixed by other methods.

[0038] Next, the headboard panel 50 will be described. As shown in Figures 2 and 9, the headboard panel 50 is provided at the rear of each living space of the capsule bed 1 so as to be perpendicular to each of the two side panels 10 arranged opposite each other. The headboard panel 50 includes headboard side panels 51 provided on both sides in the Y direction, and a headboard central panel 52 provided between the headboard side panels 51 on both sides.

[0039] As shown in Figure 10(a), fasteners 53 are attached to headboard side panels 51 using screws 85, and accessory compartment 54 is attached using screws 86. Next, as shown in Figure 10(b), headboard side panels 51 are attached to third rear beam member 22 and second rear beam member 25 using screws 87. At this time, as shown in Figure 10(c), headboard side panels 51 are connected forward of vertical frame 17 of third panel piece 13 so that accessory compartment 54 does not protrude rearward from vertical frame 17 of third panel piece 13.

[0040] The headboard central panel 52 is fixed to the headboard side panels 51 on both sides by screwing into connecting pieces (not shown) extending from the headboard side panels 51 on both sides. This allows the headboard panel 50 to close the rear side between the two side panels 10, thereby defining a living space. However, the headboard panel 50 may be made up of a single panel, and the number of panels that make up the headboard panel 50 is not limited.

[0041] As shown in Figure 11(a), the upper beam panel 62 is attached to the third front beam member 24 using screws 88, and as shown in Figure 11(b), the lower beam panel 61 is attached to the first front beam member 23 using screws 88. As shown in Figure 13, which is an enlarged view of part XII in Figure 12(b), the bent portions of the third front beam member 24 and the first front beam member 23 are inserted into slots 62a, 61a formed in the upper beam panel 62 and the lower beam panel 61. This prevents the third front beam member 24 and the first front beam member 23 from being directly exposed to the outside, improving the design.

[0042] Figure 12 shows the procedure for attaching the ladder 70 after the work of Figure 11. As shown in Figure 12(a), the upper end of the ladder handrail member 71 is attached to the upper beam panel 62 using a screw 89, and the lower end of the ladder handrail member 71 is attached to the lower beam panel 61 using a screw 89. Also, as shown in Figure 12(b), a step 73 is attached to the mounting bracket 72 of the ladder handrail member 71 using a screw 90, thereby allowing the ladder 70 to be attached to the opening P.

[0043] 14, the middle beam panel 63 is attached to the second front beam member 26 using screws 91. This prevents the second front beam member 26 from being directly exposed to the outside, improving the design.

[0044] Figure 15 is a diagram showing the procedure for attaching the deck 75 to the middle beam panel 63 using screws 92, Figure 15(a) is a diagram showing the procedure for attaching the deck support member 76 to the middle beam panel 63 using screws 93 after the work of Figure 14, and Figure 15(b) is a diagram showing the procedure for attaching the deck main body 77 to the deck support member 76. In this way, the deck 75 can be attached to the opening P.

[0045] 2, a metal reinforcing pipe 95 that connects the opposing intermediate liners 32 is provided in the middle of the two side panels 10 in the X direction (only the connection with the left intermediate liner 32 is shown in FIG. 2), and is disposed between the second floor member 43 and the first ceiling member 41. This reinforcing pipe 95 can prevent deformation of the center of the side panels 10, and can improve the strength of the capsule bed 1.

[0046] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and modifications and improvements are possible as appropriate. For example, in the above embodiment, a capsule bed having two levels of living space, one above the other, has been described, but the present invention may also be a capsule bed having a single level of living space.

[0047] Therefore, the capsule bed 1 only needs to have, as the side panels 10, a first panel piece 11, a second panel piece 12, a lower liner 31 which is a first fixing member, and an upper liner 32 which is a second fixing member, and as multiple beam members, a first rear beam member 21, a first front beam member 23, a second rear beam member 25, and a second front beam member 26, and further includes a first floor member 41, a first ceiling member 42, and a headboard panel 50. In this case, the shapes of the second rear beam member 25 and the second front beam member 26 may be the same as those of the first rear beam member 21 and the first front beam member 23.

[0048] 16 is a perspective view of a capsule bed according to a modification of the present invention. In this modification, the configuration of the ladder 70A is different from that of the above embodiment, and the deck 75 of the above embodiment is not included.

[0049] Specifically, the ladder 70A is divided into two parts, upper and lower, and includes two lower ladder handrail members 71A and two upper ladder handrail members 71B extending in the Z direction in the Y direction. Similar to the above embodiment, a three-step step stool 73 is provided between the two lower ladder handrail members 71A. The lower end of the lower ladder handrail member 71A extends in the X direction, then bends upward and is inclined so as to approach the interior space as it moves upward in the Z direction. Therefore, the three steps 73 are closer to the interior space as they move upward. Therefore, when climbing the ladder 70A, the legs placed on the steps 73 are less likely to hit the steps 73 on the upper steps, making it easier to climb.

[0050] Furthermore, at the joint between the lower ladder handrail member 71A and the upper ladder handrail member 71B, an uppermost step 73A that is wider than the width of the three steps 73 is provided. For this reason, the distance between the two upper ladder handrail members 71B is made larger than the distance between the two lower ladder handrail members 71A, and the two upper ladder handrail members 71B support both ends of the uppermost step 73A in the Y direction. This allows a user who has climbed up the three steps 73 to easily climb up to the uppermost step 73A, and also allows them to pass between the two upper ladder handrail members 71B and enter the upper internal space with opening P without having to move in the Y direction.

[0051] As shown in Figure 17(a), the upper end of the upper ladder handrail member 71B is attached to the upper beam panel 62 using a screw 89, and the lower end of the lower ladder handrail member 71A is attached to the lower beam panel 61. Also, as shown in Figure 17(b), a step 73 is attached to the mounting bracket 72 of the lower ladder handrail member 71A using a screw 90.

[0052] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 18(a), a screw 93 is used to connect the mounting bracket 72A at the upper end of the lower ladder handrail member 71A to the mounting bracket 72B at the lower end of the upper ladder handrail member 71B, and a bolt 94a and a nut 94b are used to attach the mounting bracket 72A of the lower ladder handrail member 71A to the intermediate beam panel 63. Also, as shown in Figure 18(b), a screw 95 is used to attach the top step 73A to the two mounting brackets 72A, 72B of the lower ladder handrail member 71A and the upper ladder handrail member 71B. The lower ladder handrail member 71A and the upper ladder handrail member 71B, which are located at different positions in the Y direction, are individually connected to the top step 73.
