[0010] The following disclosure provides many different embodiments and examples for implementing different features of the presented subject matter. To simplify the disclosure, specific examples of components and arrangements are disclosed below. Of course, these are merely examples and are not intended to be limiting. For example, a structure in which a first feature is covered by, abuts, or is adjacent to a subsequently disclosed second feature may include embodiments in which the first and second features are formed in direct contact, as well as embodiments in which an additional feature is formed between the first and second features to prevent direct contact between the first and second features. Furthermore, this disclosure may include embodiments in which the first and second features are not in direct contact or are in close proximity (on the order of 0 cm to 1 m). Furthermore, the disclosure may repeat reference numbers and / or letters in various examples. This repetition is for the purposes of brevity and clarity and does not, in itself, require a relationship between the various embodiments and / or configurations described. Furthermore, when a first element is described as being "connected" or "coupled" or "adjacent" to a second element, such description includes embodiments in which the first and second elements are directly connected or coupled to each other, as well as embodiments in which the first and second elements are indirectly connected or coupled or adjacent to each other with one or more other intervening elements therebetween.
[0011] As used herein, the phrase "at least one of" encompasses all exemplified variations. For example, the phrase "comprises at least one of A, B, or C" is equivalent to "consisting of A, B, and C and combinations thereof," and encompasses all possible variations of A, B, C, A+B, A+C, B+C, and A+B+C.
[0012] In this disclosure, disclosures using a machine, an electronic operator, or a computer may include embodiments of a method, a recording medium, an apparatus, or a program. As used herein, the statement "A is B" can be replaced with "A includes B" unless there is a contradiction or unless otherwise stated in this specification.
[0013] The terms in this disclosure, including the terms set forth in the claims, may be interpreted in light of the descriptions and drawings set forth in the specification, and further, unless otherwise indicated inconsistently, by what one or more citizens, past, present, or future, have so called, so designated, so understood, or so performed, or may so do, unless otherwise indicated in the present disclosure.
[0014] This disclosure relates to a camper van. According to at least one embodiment, a camper van is a vehicle equipped with facilities for sleeping and staying overnight. According to at least one embodiment, the camper van has one or more of the following facilities: a bed, a kitchen, a toilet, a table, etc. Camper vans are broadly classified into "self-propelled" camper vans, in which the vehicle and living space are integrated, and "towed" camper vans, which are towed by a vehicle. Self-propelled camper vans include those equipped with dedicated frames and engines, and those equipped with domestic vehicles such as vans and wagons. In the United States, camper vans are called "motorhomes," those equipped with interiors similar to those of a regular bus are called "mobile homes," and those equipped with facilities similar to those of a regular home are called "house trailers."
[0015] The configuration in this disclosure is not limited to a camper van. In other words, the term "camper van" in this disclosure can be replaced with any other mobile object. Examples include cars (all types of cars), sedans, coupes, convertibles, station wagons, minivans, SUVs, hatchbacks, trains, bullet trains, airplanes, ships, etc. In at least one embodiment, a camper van refers to a vehicle that falls under 4-1-3(4) or 4-2 in the "Classification of Automobile Uses, etc. (Directive Notice)" issued by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism on April 6, 2001 (No. 49 of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, hereinafter referred to as "Directive Notice 1"). In at least one embodiment, a camper refers to a vehicle that meets one or more or all of the structural requirements listed in "3-4 Vehicles in Use Classification Notice 4-1-3(4)" and "Campers" (page 80) in the "Detailed Handling of the 'Classification of Automobile Uses, etc. (Directive Notice)'" issued by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism on March 1, 2022 (No. 278, hereinafter referred to as "Directive Notice 2"). In at least one embodiment, when these Directive Notices are updated, the structural requirements of the latest Directive Notices are followed. Therefore, a camper is a moving body (vehicle) that meets the structural requirements of the Directive Notices issued by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism. The contents of at least one Directive Notice are described below.
[0016] Disclosed is an object 1 to be provided in a camper van (at least FIG. 1). Note that in the following description, the term "chair" can be read as "object." After careful consideration, we have discovered that at least four types of seating surfaces can be provided electrically with the following configuration. According to at least one embodiment, the object has a first electric rotating body 2 and a second electric rotating body 3. The electric rotating body has a rotating shaft 4, which is electrically rotatable forward and backward. The length of the rotating shaft corresponds to the width of the chair. For example, the ratio of the length of the rotating shaft to the width of the chair is approximately 1:1. The first electric rotating body and the second electric rotating body are connected by two frames that contact both ends of the electric rotating body or the rotating shaft. For example, a first end of the first electric rotating body and a first end of the second electric rotating body are connected by a first frame 5, and a second end of the second electric rotating body and a second end of the second electric rotating body are connected by a second frame 6. For example, by being connected by the first and second frames in this manner, the first electric rotating body and the second electric rotating body are fixed in position, spaced apart by the length of the frames. For example, the ratio of the length of the first object in a direction perpendicular to the rotation axis of the first electric rotating body, the length of the second object in a direction perpendicular to the rotation axis of the second electric rotating body, and the length of the first frame is approximately 1:1:1. In another embodiment, as described below, the first object and the second object have skeletons with cushions attached, so that the ratio of the length of the first object in a direction perpendicular to the rotation axis of the first electric rotating body to the length of the second object in a direction perpendicular to the rotation axis of the second electric rotating body to the length of the first frame is approximately 7:7:10 to approximately 9:9:10 (the ratio of the length of the first object in a direction perpendicular to the rotation axis of the first electric rotating body to the length of the second object in a direction perpendicular to the rotation axis of the second electric rotating body is the same), or the ratio of the length of the first object in a direction perpendicular to the rotation axis of the first electric rotating body to the length of the second object in a direction perpendicular to the rotation axis of the second electric rotating body to the length of the first frame is approximately 7:7:10 to approximately 1:1:1 (the ratio of the length of the first object in a direction perpendicular to the rotation axis of the first electric rotating body to the length of the second object in a direction perpendicular to the rotation axis of the second electric rotating body is the same).
[0017] A first object 7 interlocked with a first electric rotating body is disclosed (at least as shown in FIG. 2). A plate-shaped object is connected to the first electric rotating body, and this is the first object. Since the first object is connected to the first electric rotating body, it rotates forward in tandem with the first electric rotating body when it rotates forward, and rotates backward in tandem with the first electric rotating body when it rotates backward. The skeleton of the first object is a frame or a frame with a mesh structure inside. The skeleton of the first object is padded with cushions like those used in chairs or beds. That is, the first object has cushions padded on both sides of a plate-shaped skeleton formed by a frame. For example, the ratio of the amount (or thickness) of cushion padded on the first surface 14, which is one surface of the plate-shaped skeleton formed by a frame, to the amount (or thickness) of cushion padded on the second surface 15, which is the opposite surface, is approximately 1:1. When the plate of the first object is positioned approximately upright relative to the floor of a vehicle, it forms the back (seat back) of a chair. For example, the ratio of the length of the first object perpendicular to the rotation axis to the length of a person's spine is approximately 1:1. When the plate of the first object is approximately horizontal to the floor of the vehicle, it forms the seat of a chair. That is, when the first object is rotated forward and placed in a horizontal position, its second surface forms the seat, and when the first object is rotated backward and placed in a horizontal position, its first surface forms the seat, and when the first object is rotated and placed in a vertical position, its first surface or second surface forms the back. For example, the ratio of the length of the first object in a direction perpendicular to the rotation axis of the first electric rotating body, the length of the second object in a direction perpendicular to the rotation axis of the second electric rotating body, and the distance between the first and second electric rotating bodies is approximately 1:1:1. For example, as described above, the first object and the second object have skeletons with cushions added to them, so the ratio of the length of the first object in a direction perpendicular to the rotation axis of the first electric rotating body, the length of the second object in a direction perpendicular to the rotation axis of the second electric rotating body, and the placement distance between the first electric rotating body and the second electric rotating body is approximately 7:7:10 to approximately 9:9:10 (the ratio of the length of the first object in a direction perpendicular to the rotation axis of the first electric rotating body to the length of the second object in a direction perpendicular to the rotation axis of the second electric rotating body is the same).
[0018] A second object 8 that is interlocked with the second electric rotating body is disclosed (at least FIG. 2). These configurations apply mutatis mutandis to the disclosure of a first object that is interlocked with a first electric rotating body. That is, for example, the ratio of the length of the plate-like skeleton formed by the frame of the first object in the direction perpendicular to the rotation axis to the length of the plate-like skeleton formed by the frame of the second object in the direction perpendicular to the rotation axis is approximately 1:1. For example, the ratio of the length of the plate-like skeleton formed by the frame of the first object in the direction parallel to the rotation axis to the length of the plate-like skeleton formed by the frame of the second object in the direction parallel to the rotation axis is approximately 1:1. For example, the ratio of the area of the plate-like skeleton formed by the frame of the first object to the area of the plate-like skeleton formed by the frame of the second object is approximately 1:1.
[0019] A configuration is disclosed in which a first object rotates in conjunction with the rotation of a first electric rotating body in a first rotation direction and is disposed adjacent to a second object (at least FIG. 3 ). As described above, the first object rotates in conjunction with the rotation of the first electric rotating body in the first rotation direction and is disposed approximately horizontally relative to the floor surface of the vehicle. As a result, the ratio of the length of the first object in a direction perpendicular to the rotation axis of the first electric rotating body to the length of the first frame is approximately 1:1, so that the first object, disposed approximately horizontally, is disposed adjacent to the second object (or a portion adjacent thereto). For example, the first object, disposed approximately horizontally, is disposed adjacent to the second electric rotating body (or a portion adjacent thereto). For example, the first object, disposed approximately horizontally, is disposed adjacent to a portion of the second object adjacent to the second electric rotating body. This results in a chair in which the first surface of the first object, which is approximately horizontal, provides the seat surface (hereinafter referred to as the first seat surface 12 to distinguish it from other embodiments), and the first surface 16 of the second object, which is approximately vertical, provides the back surface.
[0020] A configuration is disclosed in which the second object rotates in conjunction with the rotation of the second electric rotating body in a second rotation direction opposite to the first rotation direction, and is disposed adjacent to the first object (at least FIG. 4 ). As described above, the second object rotates in conjunction with the rotation of the second electric rotating body in the second rotation direction opposite to the first rotation direction, and is disposed approximately horizontally relative to the floor surface of the vehicle. As a result, the ratio of the length of the second object in a direction perpendicular to the rotation axis of the second electric rotating body to the length of the first frame is approximately 1:1, so that the second object is disposed approximately horizontally and is disposed adjacent to the first object (or a portion adjacent thereto). For example, the second object is disposed approximately horizontally and is disposed adjacent to the first electric rotating body (or a portion adjacent thereto). For example, the second object is disposed approximately horizontally and is disposed adjacent to the portion of the first object adjacent to the first electric rotating body. This results in a chair in which the second surface 17 of the second object, which is now approximately horizontal, provides the seat surface (hereinafter referred to as the second seat surface 13), and the second surface of the first object, which is now approximately vertical, provides the back surface.
[0021] This disclosure discloses a configuration in which a first object is adjacent to a second object, a first surface of the first object provides a first seating surface, the second object rotates in conjunction with the rotation of a second electric rotating body in a first rotation direction, and the first surface of the second object provides the seating surface. As described above, the first object is adjacent to the second object, and the first surface of the first object provides the first seating surface. The second object rotates in conjunction with the rotation of the second electric rotating body in the first rotation direction, and the second object can be positioned approximately horizontally relative to the vehicle body, and the first surface of the second object provides the seating surface (hereinafter referred to as third seating surface 18). In other words, the first object and second object are adjacent to each other, and the first object and second object provide the first seating surface and the third seating surface, respectively, providing a seating surface with a large area within the vehicle. For example, a first object is adjacent to a second object approximately horizontally relative to the floor surface of the vehicle, the second object is positioned approximately horizontally relative to the floor surface of the vehicle, and the direction perpendicular to the rotation axis of the plate-like skeleton formed by the frame of the first object, the direction perpendicular to the rotation axis of the plate-like skeleton formed by the frame of the second object, and the direction of the floor surface of the vehicle are approximately parallel.
[0022] A configuration is disclosed in which a second object is adjacent to the first object, a second surface of the second object provides a second seating surface, the first object rotates in conjunction with the rotation of the first electric rotating body in a second rotation direction, and the second surface of the first object provides the seating surface. As described above, the second object is adjacent to the first object, and the second surface of the second object provides the second seating surface. The first object rotates in conjunction with the rotation of the first electric rotating body in the second rotation direction, and the first object can be positioned approximately horizontally relative to the vehicle body, and the second surface of the first object provides the seating surface (hereinafter referred to as the fourth seating surface 19). In other words, the first object and the second object are adjacent to each other, and the first object and the second object provide the fourth seating surface and the second seating surface, respectively, providing a seating surface with a large area within the vehicle. For example, the second object is adjacent to the first object approximately horizontally relative to the floor surface of the vehicle, the first object is positioned approximately horizontally relative to the floor surface of the vehicle, and the direction perpendicular to the rotation axis of the plate-like skeleton formed by the frame of the first object, the direction perpendicular to the rotation axis of the plate-like skeleton formed by the frame of the second object, and the direction of the floor surface of the vehicle are approximately parallel.
[0023] In at least one embodiment, the chair of the present disclosure meets the requirements for an adult sleeping facility or a child sleeping facility as set forth in Directive Circular 2. Furthermore, the chair meets the requirements for a combined sleeping facility and seat as set forth in the Directive Circular. These requirements apply mutatis mutandis to the description of the Directive Circular. Non-exhaustive examples of the requirements include that the seat and back of the seat of the riding device are manufactured with the assumption that they will be used as a sleeping facility, and that when the seat and back of the seat of the riding device are used as a sleeping facility, the entire upper surface of the sleeping facility forms a continuous flat surface. That is, in the chair of the present disclosure, the first and third seat surfaces meet the structure and dimensions of an adult sleeping facility or a child sleeping facility as set forth in Directive Circular 2. The second and fourth seat surfaces meet the structure and dimensions of an adult sleeping facility or a child sleeping facility as set forth in Directive Circular 2. Furthermore, these seat surfaces meet the requirements for a combined sleeping facility and seat as set forth in the Directive Circular. That is, the chair of the present disclosure has an industrial advantage in that it can provide a chair or sleeping facility that satisfies the required specifications even in a vehicle. Furthermore, in these chairs, by positioning the first or second object vertically, the first to fourth seat surfaces each satisfy the structure and dimensions of a seat. That is, the chair of the present disclosure has an industrial advantage in that it can provide a combined use of sleeping facility and seat that satisfies the required specifications even in a vehicle.
[0024] This disclosure discloses a configuration in which a drive machine for a first electric rotating body or a second electric rotating body is disposed below the position of a first object when the first object is adjacent to a second object. As described above, the first electric rotating body and the second electric rotating body require power. The drive machines for the first electric rotating body and the second electric rotating body are disposed below the position of the first object when the first object is adjacent to the second object. For example, the drive machine is disposed below either the first seating surface or the second seating surface.
[0025] This disclosure discloses a configuration in which the rotation axes of the first and second electric rotating bodies are installed substantially perpendicular to the traveling direction of the camper van. The rotation axes of the first and second electric rotating bodies are installed substantially perpendicular to the traveling direction of the camper van body. For example, the rotation axes of the first and second electric rotating bodies are installed parallel to the direction in which people get into the camper van through the door. For example, the rotation axes of the first and second electric rotating bodies are installed substantially perpendicular to the direction of the surface of the camper van door.
[0026] This disclosure discloses a configuration in which a frame connecting a first electric rotating body and a second electric rotating body is provided with an indicator for instructing rotation of the first electric rotating body or the second electric rotating body. As described above, an indicator for instructing free rotation of each electric rotating body is provided on the first frame or the second frame. For example, the first frame or the second frame is provided with a switch 9 for instructing rotation of the first electric rotating body in a first rotation direction and rotation of the second electric rotating body in a second rotation direction.
[0027] A camper van in which a chair according to any one of the above embodiments is fixedly installed is disclosed. By using any one of the above embodiments, a camper van in which the chair is fixedly installed can be created.
[0028] Any of the above embodiments may also be disclosed as a method without departing from the spirit of the invention. That is, each embodiment also discloses a method for arranging chairs in a camper.
[0029] As described above, the first object and the second object have skeletons with cushions added, so the ratio of the length of the first object in the direction perpendicular to the rotation axis of the first electric rotating body, the length of the second object in the direction perpendicular to the rotation axis of the second electric rotating body, and the length of the first frame is approximately 1:1:1. More preferably, the ratio of the length of the first object in the direction perpendicular to the rotation axis of the first electric rotating body, the length of the second object in the direction perpendicular to the rotation axis of the second electric rotating body, and the length of the first frame is approximately 7:7:10 to approximately 9:9:10 (the ratio of the length of the first object in the direction perpendicular to the rotation axis of the first electric rotating body to the length of the second object in the direction perpendicular to the rotation axis of the second electric rotating body is the same). The inventors have conducted extensive research into the optimal length ratio for the first object to rotate in conjunction with the rotation of the first electric rotating body in the first rotation direction and lie substantially horizontally adjacent to the second object, with the first object and the second object having cushions attached to their skeletons. As a result, they have found that when the ratio of the length of the first object in the direction perpendicular to the rotation axis of the first electric rotating body, the length of the second object in the direction perpendicular to the rotation axis of the second electric rotating body, and the length of the first frame is between approximately 7:7:10 and approximately 9:9:10 (the ratio of the length of the first object in the direction perpendicular to the rotation axis of the first electric rotating body to the length of the second object in the direction perpendicular to the rotation axis of the second electric rotating body is the same), friction between the cushions of the first object and the second object is reduced, allowing the first object to lie substantially horizontally adjacent to the second object without applying a load to the power of the electric rotating body. Surprisingly, this effect was more pronounced when the ratio of the length of the first object in the direction perpendicular to the rotation axis of the first electric rotating body, the length of the second object in the direction perpendicular to the rotation axis of the second electric rotating body, and the length of the first frame was approximately 1:1:1. The reason for this was that, as a result of these lengths being equal, at least the gap between the first frame and the second frame for horizontally positioning the first object was insufficient due to the thickness of each cushion, resulting in increased friction caused by the rubbing of the cushions of the first object and the second object. It was found that, at the very least, this friction placed a load on the power of the electric rotating body.
[0030] An embodiment different from the above will be disclosed. In the above-mentioned driving machine, the driving machine is disposed below either the third seating surface or the fourth seating surface.
[0031] The following will disclose an outline of the above-described embodiment.
[0032] A chair provided in a camper, a first object that is coupled to the first electric rotating body; a second object that is interlocked with the second electric rotating body; the first object is rotationally moved in conjunction with the rotation of the first electric rotating body in the first rotation direction, and is disposed so as to be adjacent to the second object; The second object rotates in conjunction with the rotation of the second electric rotating body in a second rotation direction opposite to the first rotation direction, and is disposed so as to be adjacent to the first object.
[0033] This configuration can provide at least four different seating surfaces (first to fourth seating surfaces), which is useful for providing comfort when used as a chair in a camper van and has industrial applicability. It is also useful for providing such seating surfaces electrically.
[0034] The chair, a first object adjacent to a second object, a first surface of the first object providing a first bearing surface; The second object has a first surface of the second object providing a backing.
[0035] This configuration has the advantage of being able to provide a vehicle seat (first seat) that faces in the same direction as the vehicle's direction of travel, and has industrial applicability. Such a seat can be provided electrically.
[0036] The chair, a second object adjacent to the first object, a second surface of the second object providing a second bearing surface; The first object has a second surface of the first object providing a backing.
[0037] This configuration has the advantage of being able to provide a vehicle seat (second seat) facing in the opposite direction to the vehicle's direction of travel, and is therefore industrially feasible. By providing a separate chair for the second seat, it becomes possible to sit in a pair of chairs facing each other and have a conversation, improving the convenience of the living space of the camper. Such a chair can be provided electrically.
[0038] The chair, a first object adjacent to a second object, a first surface of the first object providing a first bearing surface; The second object rotates in conjunction with the rotation of the second electric rotating body in the first rotation direction, and can be positioned approximately horizontally relative to the vehicle body, with the first surface of the second object providing a third seating surface.
[0039] This configuration has the advantage of being able to provide a continuous, wide seating surface (first and third seating surfaces) that is positioned approximately horizontally relative to the vehicle body, and is therefore industrially feasible. Such chairs can be electrically operated. Such seats allow occupants to sit or lie down with their legs stretched out, improving the comfort of campervans.
[0040] The chair, a second object adjacent to the first object, a second surface of the second object providing a second bearing surface; The first object rotates in conjunction with the rotation of the first electric rotating body in the second rotation direction and can be positioned approximately horizontally relative to the vehicle body, with the second surface of the first object providing a fourth seating surface.
[0041] This configuration has the advantage of being able to provide continuous, wide seating surfaces (second and fourth seating surfaces) that are positioned approximately horizontally relative to the vehicle body, and is therefore industrially feasible. Such chairs can be electrically operated. Such seating surfaces allow occupants to sit or lie down with their legs stretched out, improving the comfort of campervans.
[0042] The chair, A drive machine for the first electric rotating body or the second electric rotating body is disposed below the position of the first object when the first object is adjacent to the second object.
[0043] In this configuration, by locating the driving device of the electric rotating body below the seat, the driving device can be hidden from the living space of the camper van user, thereby making the living space larger, which is useful and has industrial applicability.
[0044] The chair, The rotation axes of the first electric rotating body and the second electric rotating body are installed so as to be substantially perpendicular to the direction of travel of the camper van.
[0045] In this configuration, the first seating surface faces the same direction as the vehicle's direction of travel, allowing the user to face the direction the campervan is traveling, allowing the user to see the scenery out the vehicle's windshield and preventing car sickness, which is useful and has industrial applicability.Since vehicle seats are often entered from a direction perpendicular to the vehicle's direction of travel (i.e., from the vehicle's side door), the user can sit on the seat without being obstructed by the back of the chair, which is useful and has industrial applicability.
[0046] The chair, An indicator for instructing the rotation of the first electric rotating body or the second electric rotating body is provided on a frame that connects the first electric rotating body and the second electric rotating body.
[0047] This configuration has the advantages of being useful and industrially applicable in that it allows the user to easily control the electric rotating body. Since users often get on the vehicle from a direction perpendicular to the direction of travel (i.e., from the side door of the vehicle) and can easily touch the first or second frame, the presence of the indicator on the first or second frame improves ease of operation, which has the advantages of being useful and industrially applicable.
[0048] A camper van with the above chairs fixed in place.
[0049] This configuration has the utility and industrial applicability of creating a camper that allows the user to freely and electrically position the first through fourth seating surfaces. At least four types of seating surfaces can be positioned to suit the user's preferences, improving the comfort of the camper.
[0050] 1. A method of arranging chairs in a camper, comprising: a step of rotating a first object linked to the first electric rotating body in a first rotation direction in association with the rotation of the first electric rotating body, and disposing the first object adjacent to the second object; a step of rotating a second object linked to the second electric rotating body in a second rotation direction opposite to the first rotation direction in association with the rotation of the second electric rotating body, and disposing the second object adjacent to the first object; It has.
[0051] This configuration has the advantage of being able to electrically position the first through fourth seating surfaces as desired by the user, and has the potential for industrial applicability. At least four types of seating surfaces can be positioned to suit the user's preferences, improving the comfort of the campervan.
[0052] The following describes embodiments different from those described above, and the industrial applicability and working mechanism thereof are incorporated by reference.

[0055] The chair, the second object is fixed substantially horizontally to the floor of the vehicle, and a second surface of the second object provides a second seating surface; The first object has a second surface of the first object providing a backing.
[0056] The chair, the first object is fixed substantially horizontally to a floor surface of the vehicle, and a first surface of the first object provides a first seating surface; The second object rotates in conjunction with the rotation of the second electric rotating body in the first rotation direction, and can be positioned approximately horizontally relative to the vehicle body, with the first surface of the second object providing a third seating surface.
[0057] The chair, the second object is fixed substantially horizontally to the floor of the vehicle, and a second surface of the second object provides a second seating surface; The first object rotates in conjunction with the rotation of the first electric rotating body in the second rotation direction and can be positioned approximately horizontally relative to the vehicle body, with the second surface of the first object providing a fourth seating surface.
[0058] The chair, The first object rotates in the direction of the second object, and a drive machine for the first electric rotating body or the second electric rotating body is arranged below the position of the first object when the first object is fixed approximately horizontally to the floor surface of the vehicle.
[0059] The chair, The rotation axes of the first electric rotating body and the second electric rotating body are installed so as to be substantially perpendicular to the direction of travel of the camper van.
[0060] The chair, An indicator for instructing the rotation of the first electric rotating body or the second electric rotating body is provided on a frame that connects the first electric rotating body and the second electric rotating body.
[0061] A camper van with the above chairs fixed in place.
[0062] 1. A method of arranging chairs in a camper, comprising: a step of rotating a first object linked to the first electric rotating body in a direction toward the second object in conjunction with rotation of the first electric rotating body in a first rotation direction, and disposing the first object so that the first object can be fixed substantially horizontally to a floor surface of the vehicle; a step of rotating a second object linked to the second electric rotating body in a direction toward the first object in response to rotation of the second electric rotating body in a second rotation direction opposite to the first rotation direction, and disposing the second object so as to be fixable substantially horizontally relative to a floor surface of the vehicle; It has.
[0063] The floor of a camper is at least the part of the vehicle body that the user's feet touch when riding or living in the vehicle. In at least one embodiment, the term "floor" of a camper can be replaced with the term "bottom." After careful consideration of chairs to be equipped in camper vans, a three-dimensional seating arrangement for the vehicle that is least uncomfortable for the user was found by arranging a first or second object substantially horizontally and fixably on the floor of the camper van. This has been found to improve the comfort of the user riding or living in the vehicle.
[0064] The chair, An indicator for instructing the rotation of the first or second electric rotating body is provided in one or more of the kitchen or storage area or the partition 29 provided in the camper. A partition includes a structure that can separate the outside air from the inside of the vehicle (vehicle interior). The vehicle interior includes a structure that can separate the outside air from the partition. Vehicles with a pop-up roof that creates a double structure when camping, or vehicles with a structure in which the body expands widthwise and in the direction of the vehicle to form a new floor and is separated from the outside air by a partition can be treated as a vehicle interior.
[0065] After careful consideration, we discovered that the above configuration significantly improves the convenience of users giving instructions in a camper van. Specifically, the interior of a camper van may have a kitchen installed near the vehicle's entrance, with chairs and a bed installed opposite the driver's seat to create a living space. In this case, the kitchen is the object that the user can immediately access upon boarding, so by installing an indicator in the kitchen, the user can immediately issue instructions to freely position the seats upon boarding. We discovered that this improves the convenience of users giving instructions compared to installing indicators in the camper van's trunk or bed. Furthermore, the interior of a camper van may have storage areas or shelves (including cupboards) installed in the upper, ceiling, or walls of the vehicle's interior to create a living space. In this case, the storage areas are installed in locations that are easily accessible to users, so by installing indicators in the storage areas, the user can easily access the indicators. We discovered that this improves the convenience of users giving instructions compared to installing indicators in the camper van's trunk or bed. A storage area is an area where items are organized and stored in a specific location. A wide variety of items are stored, including clothing, utensils, tools, supplies, books, and tableware. Furthermore, the living space of a camper is narrow enough that the user can easily reach the vehicle's bulkhead. By utilizing this characteristic, the user can easily reach the indicator by placing it on the bulkhead. This has been discovered to improve user convenience compared to installing indicators in the cargo area or bed of the camper. The above-mentioned embodiments may be implemented in one form or in two or more forms. The above-mentioned effects are not as significant when implemented in a chair installed in a room of a house, but they solve a problem unique to the special space of a camper (a mobile object). The kitchen section includes the kitchen itself and its surrounding structure.
[0066] The chair, a transmitting device that electromagnetically instructs the first electric rotating body or the second electric rotating body to rotate; a receiving device for receiving a signal from the transmitting device; Equipped with.
[0067] After extensive research, we discovered that having an indicator that electromagnetically instructs rotation significantly improves the convenience for users to give instructions in a camper. Specifically, signals are transmitted from a transmitting device that transmits signals electromagnetically (e.g., a remote controller, a smartphone with a program that transmits electromagnetic signals installed (including downloaded applications)), etc.). The first electric rotating body or the second electric rotating body is equipped with a receiving device that receives the signal. The receiving device transmits the signal to a control unit via a wired or wireless connection, and the control unit electrically controls the electric rotating body in response to the signal. The electric rotating body rotates in response to the signal. In this case, the user can issue instructions to the electric rotating body using a transmitting device at hand without having to touch the indicator. This improves the convenience for users to give instructions compared to installing an indicator in the trunk or bed of a camper.
[0068] After careful consideration, we have discovered that providing a detachable accessory object to the first or second object improves the convenience of the vehicle and provides significant industrial benefits.
[0069] A configuration is disclosed having a first accessory object 10 that is detachably attached to a first object (at least FIG. 7 ). In at least one embodiment, the first object has an attachment / detachment device 20 that detachably positions the first accessory object. The attachment / detachment device can be implemented by providing a socket or hole in the first object. The first accessory object has a rod that is inserted into the socket or hole. The socket, hole, or rod are merely examples. It is sufficient for the attachment / detachment device to have a detachable function. It is sufficient for the first accessory object to have a function that allows it to be attached to the attachment / detachment device. The attachment / detachment device is provided on the top of the first object when it is positioned approximately vertically. That is, the attachment / detachment device is provided on the top of the first object when it is positioned approximately vertically. It may be on the side of the first surface of the first object or the side of the second surface. That is, when the first object is positioned approximately vertically, the first accessory object can be detachably provided even further above the first object. The first accessory has at least the function of a neck rest. That is, the first accessory can support the head of a passenger sitting in a vehicle. This has industrial advantages. More preferably, the attachment / detachment device of the first accessory is located on the side of the second surface of the first object. This is because the second surface of the first object and the first accessory can be connected with less difference in level. This allows the passenger to lean their body against the backrest and the necklace without feeling uncomfortable. After careful consideration, we have found that if the attachment / detachment device of the first accessory is located on the side of the first surface of the first object, a difference in level will be created between the second surface of the first object and the first accessory, which will cause the passenger to feel uncomfortable when leaning their body against the neck rest.
[0070] This disclosure relates to a configuration having a second accessory object 11 detachably attached to a second object (at least FIG. 7). The configuration, function, or effect of this configuration applies mutatis mutandis to the disclosure of the configuration of a first accessory object detachably attached to a first object (in which case, at least "first object" can be read as "second object" and "first accessory object" can be read as "second accessory object"). More preferably, the attachment / detachment device for the second accessory object is located on the side of the first surface of the second object. This is because the first surface of the second object and the second accessory object can be connected more smoothly with no step. This allows the passenger to lean back on the backrest and necklace without any discomfort. After careful consideration, we have found that if the attachment / detachment device for the second accessory object is located on the side of the second surface of the second object, a step will be created between the first surface of the second object and the second accessory object, causing a passenger to feel uncomfortable when leaning back.
[0071] Disclosed is a configuration in which, by detaching a first accessory object, the first object can be positioned adjacent to a second object, and, by detaching a second accessory object, the second object can be positioned adjacent to the first object (at least FIG. 7 ). The first object rotates in conjunction with the rotation of the first electric rotating body in a first rotation direction and is positioned adjacent to the second object approximately horizontally. At this time, the first accessory object hits the second object and becomes a physical obstacle, preventing the first object from being positioned adjacent to the second object approximately horizontally. The second object rotates in conjunction with the rotation of the second electric rotating body in a second rotation direction opposite to the first rotation direction and is positioned adjacent to the first object approximately horizontally. At this time, the second accessory object hits the first object and becomes a physical obstacle, preventing the second object from being positioned adjacent to the first object approximately horizontally. Therefore, by detaching the first accessory object, the first object can be positioned adjacent to the second object. By removing the second attached object, the second object can be positioned adjacent to the first object. This configuration provides significant industrial advantages to the chair of the present disclosure.
[0072] After careful consideration, it has been discovered that the particular arrangement of the chair described above within a camper provides significant industrial advantages.
[0073] Disclosed is a mobile body (at least FIG. 8 ) in which a chair is arranged so that the rotation axis of the electric rotating body is approximately perpendicular to the direction of travel of the mobile body, and the chair contacts a partition wall of the mobile body (including an embodiment in which an additional feature is formed between the chair and the partition wall to prevent direct contact between the chair and the partition wall). In at least one embodiment, the mobile body 21 includes one or more chairs 1. The mobile body includes additional devices or structures as additional features. Examples of the devices include a heater 22, a refrigerator 23, a battery 24, a sink 25, a ventilation fan 26, a toilet 30, a vertical cooler 31, and a stove 32. These devices may be other household appliances or may be replaced with devices having other functions. Examples of the structures include a storage compartment, a toilet, and furniture necessary for daily life. The arrangement of these devices illustrated in the figures is merely an example, and the arrangement may be changed as appropriate, or they may be replaced with devices having other functions. The chair is arranged so that the rotation axis of the electric rotating body is approximately perpendicular to the direction of travel of the mobile body. This arrangement allows the passenger to sit facing the direction of travel of the vehicle. The chair contacts the bulkhead 29 of the vehicle. In other embodiments, the chair contacts the bulkhead by forming an additional feature between the chair and the bulkhead so that the chair and the bulkhead do not come into direct contact. In other embodiments, the chair contacts the bulkhead by forming an additional feature between the chair and the bulkhead so that the chair contacts the bulkhead via the additional feature. In this disclosure, the term "additional feature" can be substituted for "additional structure" (the same applies hereinafter).
[0074] In at least one embodiment, the "additional feature" or "additional structure" can include plumbing or cooking facilities, which are listed as structural requirements for campervans in the Directive. Specifically, Directive 1 or 2 requires that the interior of a campervan be equipped with living facilities (sleeping, cooking, and washing) that meet the structural requirements. The requirements for each facility are specified in the Directive. Non-exhaustive examples of features or structures specified in the Directive include a water tank, a washbasin (sink), a counter, a stove, a ventilator, a fuel tank, and associated wiring and piping. In at least one embodiment, facilities that meet the structural requirements of any one of the Directives can be defined as "additional feature" or "additional structure" in this disclosure.
[0075] According to the above arrangement, by moving the electric rotating body of the chair, the direction of the chair can be reversed relative to the traveling direction of the moving body (at least as shown in FIG. 9). That is, in one chair, a first object is adjacent to a second object, a first surface of the first object provides a first seat surface, and a first surface of the second object provides a backrest. In another chair, a second object is adjacent to a first object, a second surface of the second object provides a second seat surface, and a second surface of the first object provides a backrest. In this way, various living space layouts can be automatically provided in a vehicle. This configuration has significant industrial advantages for the moving body of the present disclosure.
[0076] According to the above arrangement, by moving the electric rotating body of the chair, it is possible to automatically provide a living space layout in which the entire surface of the moving body serves as a cushion (at least as shown in FIG. 10 ). That is, a first object of the chair is adjacent to a second object, a first surface of the first object provides a first seating surface, and the second object rotates in conjunction with the rotation of the second electric rotating body in a first rotation direction, allowing it to be positioned approximately horizontally relative to the vehicle body, and the first surface of the second object provides a third seating surface. By adopting the above configuration for all chairs provided in the moving body, the entire surface of the moving body serves as a cushion. This allows passengers to sleep or rest in the moving body. As a further advantage, since passengers can walk around on the chair cushions within the moving body, there is no need to provide a separate floor for the moving body. This allows for a wider arrangement of chairs (a larger living space) and the moving body to be equipped with more additional equipment or structures. This configuration provides significant industrial advantages for the moving body of the present disclosure.
[0077] In other words, the above configuration does not have a floor surface in one cross section including the chair, which is perpendicular to the moving direction of the moving body (at least, FIGS. 8 to 10).
[0078] In other words, the above configuration means that in a cross section including the chair, which is perpendicular to the traveling direction of the moving body, the additional structure is adjacent to at least one side of the chair.
[0079] After careful consideration, it has been discovered that the particular arrangement of the chair described above within a camper provides significant industrial advantages.
[0080] This disclosure relates to a moving vehicle in which, when a first object and a second object provide a seating surface, the chair contacts the partition wall of the moving vehicle in a cross section including the chair (including an embodiment in which an additional feature or structure is formed between the chair and the partition wall to prevent direct contact between the chair and the partition wall), and when a second object provides a backrest and the first object provides a seating surface adjacent to the second object, the chair moves away from the partition wall or the additional feature or structure of the moving vehicle in the cross section (at least FIGS. 11 and 12). The chair is disposed such that the rotation axis of the motorized rotating body is approximately parallel to the traveling direction of the moving vehicle. When the first object rotates to provide a fourth seating surface and the second object rotates to provide a second seating surface, the chair contacts the partition wall of the moving vehicle in a cross section including the chair (including an embodiment in which an additional feature or structure is formed between the chair and the partition wall to prevent direct contact between the chair and the partition wall). In other words, in this case, the floor of the vehicle disappears in that cross section.
[0081] When the second object provides a seat back and the first object is adjacent to the second object to provide a seating surface, the chair is separated from the vehicle's bulkhead or additional features or structures in the cross section. That is, in this case, the floor 27 of the vehicle appears in the cross section. This configuration, in the case of a chair configuration, provides the passenger with the convenience of being able to walk across the floor to access additional features or structures such as a refrigerator 23 or a toilet 30. Furthermore, when the first object and the second object provide a seating surface, there is an industrial advantage in providing a sleeping facility in the vehicle that meets the structural requirements of the directive.
[0082] This disclosure discloses a configuration in which an additional feature or structure closest to a boarding gate of a moving body is provided with a switch that drives the electric rotating body of the chair. When a first object and a second object provide a seating surface, it is not possible to walk on the floor from the boarding gate to access the additional feature or structure, such as a refrigerator or toilet. Therefore, the additional feature or structure closest to the boarding gate is provided with a switch that drives the electric rotating body of the chair. By activating the switch, the second object provides the backrest, the first object provides the seating surface adjacent to the second object, and the chair moves away from the partition or additional feature or structure of the moving body at the cross section. This creates a floor surface on the moving body, allowing passengers to walk on the floor to access the additional feature or structure, such as a refrigerator or toilet.
[0083] The following will disclose an outline of the above-described embodiment.
[0084] An object provided on a moving body, a first object that is coupled to the first electric rotating body; a second object that is coupled to the second electric rotating body; a first accessory object detachable from the first object; a second accessory object detachable from the second object; the first object rotates in conjunction with the rotation of the first electric rotating body in the first rotation direction, and is disposed adjacent to the second object by removing the first accessory object; The second object rotates in conjunction with the rotation of the second electric rotating body in a second rotation direction opposite to the first rotation direction, and is disposed adjacent to the first object by removing the second accessory object. object.
[0085] This configuration offers the following industrial advantages. Assume that the first and second objects are designed to be large enough to meet the sleeping facilities specified in the directive when connected horizontally. In this case, if the first or second object is positioned approximately vertically to serve as a backrest, it may be shorter than a person's seating height and may not be able to support the person's head. Therefore, a neck rest is required, and the neck rest configuration is provided using an accessory object. In this case, when the first or second object is connected horizontally, the accessory object gets in the way and prevents the horizontal connection. Therefore, the accessory object is configured to be detachable. This not only provides a neck rest, but also provides a sleeping facility that meets the directive to the vehicle. This configuration is unprecedented and offers advantages not available with conventional technology.
[0086] A mobile object, The object according to claim 1 is used as a sleeping facility for a camper vehicle as specified in the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism's directive to be equipped in a mobile vehicle. Mobile object.
[0087] This configuration has the following industrial advantages. As shown in Figures 8 to 12, to satisfy the structural requirements of the camper vehicle directive, the structure must be efficiently laid out to provide the necessary structure within the vehicle cabin. The object in this configuration provides a seat and also functions as a sleeping facility that satisfies the directive. Therefore, installing this object as a structure within the vehicle cabin improves the space efficiency within the vehicle cabin. Therefore, using this object alone as the sleeping facility for a camper vehicle as specified in the directive of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism can significantly improve the space efficiency within the vehicle cabin while satisfying the directive. For example, in Figure 8, the floor is not continuous from the boarding gate 28 to the battery 24, making it impossible to reach it by walking. However, by electrically powering the object, the configuration shown in Figure 10 can be achieved. In this case, a person can walk from the boarding gate 28 to the battery 24 on the horizontal surface of the first or second object. In this way, by installing one or more objects (two, three, four or more, as needed) disclosed in this specification, the ease of walking around the vehicle interior and the ease of access to other structures are significantly improved. This configuration is not only unprecedented, but also offers advantages not available with conventional technology. (Note that this advantage can also be confirmed in the configurations of other inventions in this specification.)
[0088] A mobile object, The object according to claim 1, a first object of the objects rotates in conjunction with the rotation of the first electric rotating body in a first rotation direction, and is disposed so as to be adjacent to a second object; The second object of the objects rotates in conjunction with the rotation of the second electric rotating body in the first rotation direction and is disposed substantially horizontally relative to the vehicle body, The area occupied by the first and second objects in the vehicle's cabin covers more than half of the exposed floor area of the cabin. Mobile
[0089] This configuration offers the following industrial advantages. As shown in Figures 8 to 12, by electrically driving the object disclosed in the specification so that the first or second object is horizontal, more than half of the exposed area of the vehicle cabin floor can be covered. For example, in Figure 10, more than half of the area of floor surface 27 in Figure 8 is covered by the first and second objects. For example, in Figure 12, more than half of the area of floor surface 27 in Figure 11 is covered by the first and second objects. This configuration increases the area of the sleeping facilities that meets the requirements, at least during sleep, and minimizes the area occupied by the floor, which is wasted space during sleep. This effect improves the sleeping comfort of passengers and significantly improves the space utilization efficiency within the vehicle cabin. This configuration is unprecedented and offers advantages not available with conventional technology.

Mobile object.
[0091] This configuration has the following industrial advantages. As shown in Figures 8 to 10, the electric rotating body is arranged so that the rotation axis of the electric rotating body is approximately perpendicular to the sagittal direction of the vehicle body. At least one of the objects is in contact on both sides with the bulkhead of the vehicle body or one or more of the plumbing equipment or cooking equipment specified in the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism's directive. This configuration minimizes dead space in the vehicle cabin by locating the sleeping equipment specified in the directive and the plumbing equipment or cooking equipment close to each other, thereby providing passengers with more usable space. This configuration is unprecedented and has advantages not possible with conventional technology. In this configuration, "at least one of the objects" may be replaced with "at least two of the objects" or "all of the objects." In this configuration, "both sides" may be replaced with "at least one side." Even with these replacements, similar industrial advantages are achieved.
[0092] A mobile object, The object according to claim 1, The rotation axis of the electric rotating body is arranged approximately parallel to the sagittal direction of the moving body, At least one of the objects is in contact with waterworks or cooking facilities as specified in the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism's Directive. Mobile object.
[0093] This configuration has the following industrial advantages. As shown in Figures 11 and 12, the rotation axis of the electric rotating body is arranged approximately parallel to the sagittal direction of the moving body. At least one of the objects is in contact with the plumbing or cooking equipment specified in the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism's directives on at least one side. This configuration minimizes dead space in the vehicle cabin by locating the sleeping equipment specified in the directives and plumbing or cooking equipment close to each other, allowing passengers to use the space more widely. This configuration is unprecedented and has advantages not possible with conventional technology. In this configuration, "at least one of the objects" may be replaced with "at least two of the objects" or "all of the objects." In this configuration, "one side" may be replaced with "both sides." Even with these replacements, similar industrial advantages are achieved.
[0094] A mobile object, The object according to claim 1, The rotation axis of the electric rotating body is arranged approximately parallel to the sagittal direction of the moving body, The object according to claim 1, a first object of the objects rotates in conjunction with the rotation of the first electric rotating body in a first rotation direction, and is disposed so as to be adjacent to a second object; When the second object of the objects rotates in conjunction with the rotation of the second electric rotating body in the first rotation direction and is disposed substantially horizontally with respect to the vehicle body, The object is in contact with two or more of the water supply facilities or cooking facilities specified in the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism's Directive. Mobile object.
[0095] This configuration has the following industrial advantages. As shown in Figures 11 and 12, the rotation axis of the electric rotating body is arranged approximately parallel to the sagittal direction of the moving body. When arranged as described above, the object is in contact with two or more of the plumbing equipment or cooking equipment specified in the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism's directive. This configuration minimizes dead space in the vehicle cabin by locating the sleeping equipment specified in the directive and the plumbing or cooking equipment close to each other, thereby providing passengers with more usable space. This configuration is unprecedented and has advantages not possible with conventional technology. In this configuration, "at least one of the objects" may be replaced with "at least two of the objects" or "all of the objects." In this configuration, "one side" may be replaced with "both sides." Even with these replacements, similar industrial advantages are achieved.
[0096] A switch for driving the electric rotating body of the object is provided in the water supply equipment, cooking equipment, or bulkhead specified in the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism's directive adjacent to the boarding gate of the moving object. Mobile object.
[0097] This configuration offers the following industrial advantages. As shown in Figures 11 to 12 . For example, in the state shown in Figure 12 , a passenger must step over object 1 from floor 27 to go from boarding gate 28 to toilet 30. To avoid this inconvenience, a switch for driving the object's electric rotor is provided on the plumbing, cooking, or bulkhead (stove 28 in the figure; note that the stove is merely an example) specified in the directive adjacent to boarding gate 28. This allows passengers to press switch 9 (Figure 12) from boarding gate 28, rotate object 1 to create floor 27 (Figure 11), and then walk across the created floor 27 to toilet 30. Having the switch in the above location significantly improves passenger convenience when boarding a vehicle equipped with object 1 as disclosed in the specification. This configuration is unprecedented and offers advantages not available with conventional technology.
[0098] The following wording in any part of this specification can be interpreted as follows: "A chair provided on a vehicle" can be replaced with "An object provided on a vehicle." "Chair" can be replaced with "Object." "Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism" includes the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism of Japan, but also includes any government agency equivalent to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism of Japan in any country around the world, and includes any government agency that determines the structural requirements of campervans. "Floor" refers to the surface of the vehicle interior that is not occupied by sleeping facilities, plumbing facilities, cooking facilities, or the driver's seat as specified in the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism's directives and notifications when viewed from above.
