[Figure 2] 2 is a cross-sectional view showing a main part of the chair and desk system of FIG. 1. [Figure 3] 3 is a front view showing a state in which the flat plate member of FIG. 2 has slid relative to the support member. [Figure 4] 4 is a front view showing a state in which the flat plate member of FIG. 3 is rotated relative to the support member. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0009] Embodiment 1 Fig. 1 is a perspective view showing a chair and desk system according to embodiment 1. Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional view showing a main part of the chair and desk system of Fig. 1. The chair and desk system comprises a plurality of chair and desks 1, a rail member 2, and a floor member 3. Two chair and desks 1 are shown in Fig. 1.

[0010] The chairs and desks 1 have the same configuration. Each chair and desk 1 has a support member 101 and a flat plate member 102.

[0011] The support member 101 extends in the height direction. The support member 101 has a support member main body 103 and a roller 104. The support member main body 103 is formed in a flat plate shape. The support member main body 103 extends in the height direction. The roller 104 is rotatably attached to the lower end of the support member main body 103.

[0012] The direction perpendicular to both the thickness direction and the height direction of the support member body 103 is defined as the width direction D. The rotation of the rollers 104 allows the support member body 103 to move in the width direction D. In other words, the support member 101 is movable in the width direction D.

[0013] The support member 101 is supported on the floor 4 via the rail member 2. The support member 101 is movable along the rail member 2.

[0014] An elongated hole 105 extending in the height direction is formed in the upper part of the support member main body 103. The elongated hole 105 penetrates the support member main body 103 in the width direction D.

[0015] The flat plate member 102 is provided on a support member main body 103. The flat plate member 102 is arranged so as to protrude horizontally from the support member main body 103. In other words, the flat plate member 102 is arranged so as to protrude horizontally from the support member 101. In this example, the flat plate member 102 is arranged along a horizontal plane. Note that the flat plate member 102 may also be arranged so as to be inclined with respect to the horizontal plane.

[0016] The flat plate member 102 has a shaft member 106, a flat plate portion 107, and a fastening portion (not shown). The shaft member 106 is inserted into an elongated hole 105 in the support member main body 103. The shaft member 106 is movable in the elongated hole 105 in the height direction.

[0017] The flat plate portion 107 is attached to a shaft member 106. As the shaft member 106 moves in the elongated hole 105, the flat plate portion 107 is able to slide in the height direction relative to the support member main body 103. In other words, the flat plate member 102 is able to slide in the height direction relative to the support member 101.

[0018] 2 has slid relative to the support member 101. As the flat plate member 102 slides relative to the support member 101 in the height direction, the flat plate member 102 moves between the seat position and the top position.

[0019] The seat position is the position of the flat plate member 102 when the chair / desk 1 is used as a chair. When the position of the flat plate member 102 is the seat position, the chair / desk 1 is used as a chair, and the flat plate member 102 is used as the seat of the chair.

[0020] The top board position is the position of the flat plate member 102 when the chair / desk 1 is used as a desk. The top board position is higher than the seat position. When the position of the flat plate member 102 is the top board position, the chair / desk 1 is used as a desk, and the flat plate member 102 is used as the desk top.

[0021] The flat plate portion 107 is rotatable around the shaft member 106. By rotating the flat plate portion 107 around the shaft member 106, the direction in which the flat plate portion 107 protrudes from the support member main body 103 can be changed. In other words, by rotating the flat plate member 102 relative to the support member 101, the direction in which the flat plate member 102 protrudes from the support member 101 can be changed.

[0022] Fig. 4 is a front view showing a state in which the flat plate member 102 of Fig. 3 has rotated relative to the support member 101. When the flat plate member 102 rotates relative to the support member 101, the orientation of the chair / desk 1 is reversed around the support member 101 when viewed from above. Fig. 4 shows a state in which the orientation of the chair / desk 1 used as a desk shown in Fig. 3 has been reversed around the support member 101.

[0023] Therefore, when the orientation of the chair / desk 1 used as a desk is changed, it is only necessary to rotate the flat plate member 102 relative to the support member 101.

[0024] 4 is set to the seat position, the orientation of the chair / desk 1 used as a chair shown in FIG. 2 can be inverted around the support member 101.

[0025] Therefore, when changing the orientation of the chair / desk 1 used as a chair, the position of the flat plate member 102 is moved from the seat position to the table top position, the flat plate member 102 is rotated relative to the support member 101, and then the position of the flat plate member 102 is moved from the table top position to the seat position.

[0026] The fastening portions of the flat plate member 102 are provided across the support member main body 103 and the shaft member 106. The fastening portions fasten the shaft member 106 to the support member main body 103, thereby fixing the shaft member 106 to the support member main body 103. This limits movement of the shaft member 106 in the height direction. Therefore, the position of the flat plate portion 107 in the height direction is maintained. In other words, the fastening portions fasten the shaft member 106 to the support member main body 103, thereby maintaining the position of the flat plate member 102 in the height direction.

[0027] Furthermore, the shaft member 106 is fastened to the support member main body 103 by the fastening portion of the flat plate member 102, thereby restricting the rotation of the flat plate portion 107 around the shaft member 106. This maintains the orientation in which the flat plate portion 107 protrudes from the support member main body 103. In other words, the shaft member 106 is fastened to the support member main body 103 by the fastening portion, thereby maintaining the orientation in which the flat plate member 102 protrudes from the support member 101.

[0028] When the fastening portion of the flat plate member 102 releases the fastening of the shaft member 106 to the support member main body 103, the shaft member 106 is released from the support member main body 103. This allows the shaft member 106 to move in the height direction. Therefore, the flat plate portion 107 becomes slidable in the height direction relative to the support member main body 103. In other words, when the fastening portion releases the fastening of the shaft member 106 to the support member main body 103, the flat plate member 102 becomes slidable in the height direction relative to the support member 101.

[0029] Furthermore, by releasing the fastening of the shaft member 106 to the support member main body 103 by the fastening portion of the flat plate member 102, the flat plate portion 107 becomes rotatable about the shaft member 106. This makes it possible to change the direction in which the flat plate portion 107 protrudes from the support member main body 103. In other words, by releasing the fastening of the shaft member 106 to the support member main body 103 by the fastening portion, it becomes possible to change the direction in which the flat plate member 102 protrudes from the support member 101.

[0030] The rail member 2 is provided on a floor 4. The rail member 2 has a plurality of rail portions 201. The plurality of rail portions 201 are arranged in a grid pattern along the floor 4.

[0031] The floor member 3 is supported on the floor 4 via a floor support member (not shown). The floor member 3 is arranged so as to cover the floor 4. The floor member 3 is arranged at the same height as the upper part of the rail member 2.

[0032] Next, the procedure for arranging chairs and desks using the chair / desk system will be described. First, the worker arranges multiple chair / desks 1 one by one in multiple required positions. If chair / desk 1 in the shape of a chair or desk is already arranged in the required position before changing the layout, the position of the chair / desk 1 arranged in the required position is left as it is.

[0033] After that, the worker shapes each chair / desk 1 into a chair shape or a desk shape. At this time, the worker shapes the chair / desk 1 in a position where a chair is needed into a chair shape, and shapes the chair / desk 1 in a position where a desk is needed into a desk shape.

[0034] If the chair / desk 1 in the required position before the layout change is in the shape of a chair and a desk is placed due to the layout change, the worker changes the shape of the chair / desk 1 from the shape of a chair to the shape of a desk.

[0035] If the chair / desk 1 in the required position before the layout change has the shape of a desk, and a chair is placed due to the layout change, the worker changes the shape of the chair / desk 1 from the shape of a desk to the shape of a chair.

[0036] The procedure for arranging chairs and desks using the chair and desk system is completed by arranging the chairs and desks at each of the multiple required positions.

[0037] As described above, the chair and desk system according to the first embodiment includes a support member 101 extending in the height direction, and a flat plate member 102 attached to the support member 101 and protruding horizontally from the support member 101. The flat plate member 102 is movable between a seat position and a tabletop position that is higher than the seat position. With this configuration, for example, when a desk is placed in a position where a chair was located before the layout change, the desk can be installed without removing the chair. This improves the efficiency of layout changes.

[0038] Furthermore, in the chair and desk system according to the first embodiment, the flat plate member 102 is slidable in the height direction relative to the support member 101. By sliding the flat plate member 102 in the height direction relative to the support member 101, the flat plate member 102 moves between the seat position and the table top position. With this configuration, by sliding the flat plate member 102 in the height direction relative to the support member 101, the shape of the chair and desk 1 can be changed to that of a chair or a desk. This makes it possible to easily change the shape of the chair and desk 1.

[0039] Moreover, in the chair and desk system according to the first embodiment, the flat plate member 102 is provided rotatably with respect to the support member 101. By rotating the flat plate member 102 with respect to the support member 101, the direction in which the flat plate member 102 protrudes from the support member 101 can be changed. According to this configuration, by rotating the flat plate member 102 with respect to the support member 101, the direction of the chair and desk 1 can be reversed around the support member 101.

[0040] Furthermore, the chair and desk system according to the first embodiment includes a rail member 2 provided on the floor 4, and the support member 101 is movable along the rail member 2. With this configuration, the position of the support member 101 can be restricted to the rail member 2. As a result, the position of the chair and desk 1 can be restricted to the rail member 2.

[0041] In the chair and desk system according to the first embodiment, the flat plate member 102 slides in the height direction relative to the support member 101, thereby moving between the seat position and the tabletop position. However, this is not limiting. Any configuration is acceptable as long as the flat plate member 102 is movable between the seat position and the tabletop position.

[0042] The above describes the chair and desk system according to the preferred embodiment 1, but the present invention is not limited to the chair and desk system according to the above-described embodiment 1. Various modifications and conversions can be made to the chair and desk system according to the above-described embodiment 1 without departing from the scope of the claims.
