[0009] Hereinafter, the present embodiment will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. To facilitate understanding of the description, the same components in the drawings will be denoted by the same reference numerals as much as possible, and duplicated descriptions will be omitted.
[0010] A stove 2 according to this embodiment will be described with reference to Figure 1. The stove 2 is a stove that uses wood as fuel. The stove 2 includes a combustion chamber 2A. The combustion chamber 2A has a pair of first side surfaces 2Aa and a pair of second side surfaces 2Ab.
[0011] In FIG. 1, an x-axis and a y-axis are set perpendicular to each other along the installation surface of the stove 2. The x-axis is set along the longitudinal direction of the first side surface portion 2Aa. The x-axis is set to be positive from the left hand side to the right hand side in FIG. 1. The y-axis is set to be positive from the right hand side to the left hand side in FIG. 1. The z-axis is set to be perpendicular to the installation surface of the stove 2. The z-axis is set to be positive from the bottom side to the top side in FIG. 1.
[0012] The first side surface portion 2Aa is provided with a glass window 2Aaa, which is transparent so that the inside of the combustion chamber 2A can be seen through while firewood fuel is burning.
[0013] The second side surface portion 2Ab is provided with, for example, a double-layered plate-like member to provide a heat-shielding structure. The second side surface portion 2Ab is provided with lower air circulation holes 2Aba and upper air circulation holes 2Abb. The second side surface portion 2Ab is a door that can be opened, for example, with its lower end as an axis. By opening the second side surface portion 2Ab, firewood fuel can be placed into the combustion chamber 2A.
[0014] A top surface 2Ad and a bottom surface 2Ac of the combustion chamber 2A are provided to connect the first side surface 2Aa and the second side surface 2Ab. The top surface 2Ad is provided on the opposite side to the installation surface of the stove 2. The bottom surface 2Ac is provided on the installation surface side of the stove 2.
[0015] The bottom surface portion 2Ac is provided with, for example, a double-layered plate-like member to provide a heat-shielding structure. An ash pan is provided on the bottom surface portion 2Ac.
[0016] The stove 2 is provided with a pair of stove legs 22. By placing the stove legs 22 on the installation surface, a predetermined distance can be maintained between the stove legs 22 and the bottom surface 2Ac.
[0017] A placement guide plate 2D having a heat dissipation opening 2Da is provided below the first side surface portion 2Aa on the installation surface side, and a placement restriction protrusion 2C is provided below the second side surface portion 2Ab.
[0018] Next, a table system 4 according to this embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 2. The table system 4 includes a stove 2 and a table 3. The stove 2 is the same as that described with reference to Fig. 1.
[0019] The table 3 includes a pair of guide frames 3A, a top board member 3B, a pair of side frames 3C, and four table legs 3D. The pair of guide frames 3A and the pair of side frames 3C are assembled to form a rectangular framework.
[0020] The guide frame 3A is formed with guide rails (not shown) and is configured to hold the stove 2 and the top plate member 3B. When placing the stove 2 on the guide frame 3A, a placement guide plate 2D is placed on the guide frame 3A. A heat dissipation opening 2Da is provided to prevent heat from being trapped by the guide frame 3A.
[0021] As shown in Figure 2, the stove 2 is not directly adjacent to the side frame 3C, but is placed with the top plate member 3B interposed between them. To prevent the stove 2 from being placed directly adjacent to the side frame 3C without the top plate member 3B being placed on top, a placement restriction protrusion 2C is provided.
[0022] As shown in Figure 3, when the second side surface 2Ab of the stove 2 is brought close to the side frame 3C without the top plate member 3B placed on it, the positioning restriction protrusion 2C interferes with the side frame 3C, preventing the stove 2 from abutting against the side frame 3C, creating a gap. In this state, even if the top plate member 3B is placed on the opposite side of the stove 2, it will not fit in and will be raised, alerting the user to this inappropriate usage.
[0023] Next, the stabilizing member 3E of the table 3 will be described with reference to Figures 4 and 5. The stabilizing member 3E is made of a metal plate and has a circular hole 3Ea and an oblong hole 3Eb. The oblong hole 3Eb is fitted into the bottom of the table leg 3D. The oblong hole 3Eb is fixed to the installation surface with a peg or the like.
[0024] Next, the cooking guide plate 2B will be described with reference to Fig. 6. As shown in Fig. 6, the y-direction width Lc of the bottom surface 2Ac side of the stove 2 is longer than the y-direction width Ld of the top surface 2Ad. Therefore, the first side surface 2Aa is inclined upward, making it easier to see the burning state of the firewood fuel through the glass window 2Aaa.
[0025] It is possible to heat and cook with a cooking utensil such as a frying pan placed on the top surface 2Ad. However, because the width Ld of the top surface 2Ad in the y direction is relatively narrow, there are restrictions on the size of the cooking utensil that can be stably placed on the top surface 2Ad.
[0026] Therefore, a pair of cooking guide plates 2B are provided along a pair of ridge lines 2AL in the x-axis direction of the top surface 2Ad. The cooking guide plates 2B are provided over almost the entire area of the ridge lines 2AL. The cooking guide plates 2B extend outward from the ridge lines 2AL and are tilted upward (in the positive direction of the z-axis) as they move away from the ridge lines 2AL.
[0027] When attempting to place a cooking utensil with a diameter smaller than the y-direction width Ld of the top surface 2Ad, the cooking guide plate 2B acts as a guide, allowing the utensil to be placed on the top surface 2Ad. On the other hand, when attempting to place a cooking utensil with a diameter larger than the y-direction width Ld of the top surface 2Ad, part of the cooking utensil will ride up on the cooking guide plate 2B, and the cooking utensil will not be in full contact with the top surface 2Ad, making it difficult to heat.
[0028] The present embodiment has been described above with reference to specific examples. However, the present disclosure is not limited to these specific examples. Design modifications to these specific examples made by a person skilled in the art as appropriate are also included within the scope of the present disclosure as long as they comprise the features of the present disclosure. The elements of the above-described specific examples, as well as their arrangement, conditions, shape, etc., are not limited to those exemplified and can be modified as appropriate. The elements of the above-described specific examples can be combined in various ways as appropriate, as long as no technical contradictions arise.
[0029] [Note] Notes 1 to 9 below can be combined in any way as long as there is no technical contradiction.
[0030] [Appendix 1] A pair of first side portions 2Aa that form the side surfaces of the combustion chamber 2A in which the firewood fuel is burned and are transparent so that the inside of the combustion chamber 2A can be seen through while the firewood fuel is burning; The stove (2) comprises a pair of second side portions (2Ab) that are arranged to intersect with the first side portion (2Aa) and form the sides of the combustion chamber (2A), have a heat-shielding structure, and are provided with air circulation holes (2Aba, 2Abb).
[0031] According to Supplementary Note 1, the transparent first side surface 2Aa allows a view into the combustion chamber 2A where firewood fuel is burning, creating a warmer atmosphere. Furthermore, radiant heat is emitted from the first side surface 2Aa, creating a soft, enveloping warmth in the vicinity of the stove 2. The second side surface 2Ab has a heat-shielding structure, preventing excessive radiant heat from being emitted on the side where the combustion chamber 2A cannot be seen. By providing air circulation holes 2Aba and 2Abb in the second side surface 2A, the surrounding area can be warmed by convection heat.
[0032] [Appendix 2] A top surface portion 2Ad and a bottom surface portion 2Ac of the combustion chamber 2A are provided so as to connect the first side surface portion 2Aa and the second side surface portion 2Ab, The stove 2 according to Appendix 1, wherein the air circulation holes include lower air circulation holes 2Aba provided on the bottom surface 2Ac side and upper air circulation holes 2Abb provided on the top surface 2Ad side.
[0033] According to Supplementary Note 2, air is taken into the combustion chamber 2A through the lower air circulation holes 2Aba and burned, and the heated air is then discharged through the upper air circulation holes 2Abb, thereby further promoting heating by convection heat. Another preferred embodiment is that an ash pan is provided on the bottom surface 2Ac, providing a heat-shielding structure.
[0034] [Appendix 3] 3. The stove (2) according to claim 1 or 2, wherein the bottom surface (2Ac) is wider than the top surface (2Ad) when viewed from the second side surface (2Ab) side.
[0035] According to Supplementary Note 3, since the first side surface portion 2Aa is inclined so as to project outward on the bottom surface portion 2Ac side, the glass window 2Aaa is also inclined, making it easier to see inside the combustion chamber 2A.
[0036] [Appendix 4] The stove (2) according to any one of appendices 1 to 3, wherein a pair of cooking guide plates (2B) are provided along a ridge (2AL) connecting the top surface (2Ad) and the first side surface (2Aa).
[0037] According to Supplementary Note 4, when cooking with cooking utensils placed on the top surface 2Ad, the position is restricted by the pair of cooking guide plates 2B, allowing for safer cooking.
[0038] [Appendix 5] 5. The stove 2 according to claim 4, wherein the cooking guide plate 2B is disposed at an angle away from the top surface portion 2Ad in a direction from the bottom surface portion 2Ac toward the top surface portion 2Ad.
[0039] According to Supplementary Note 5, the pair of cooking guide plates 2B move away from each other as they move upward (in the positive direction of the z-axis) from the top surface 2Ad. When attempting to place a cooking utensil with a diameter larger than the y-direction width Ld of the top surface 2Ad on it, part of the cooking utensil will climb up onto the cooking guide plates 2B, encouraging the user to use a cooking utensil with a diameter similar to or smaller than the y-direction width Ld of the top surface 2Ad.
[0040] [Appendix 6] 6. The stove (2) according to any one of appendices 1 to 5, wherein the first side surface (2Aa) is provided with a placement guide plate (2D) having a heat dissipation opening (2Da).
[0041] According to Supplementary Note 6, by providing the heat dissipation opening 2Da, it is possible to prevent heat from building up.
[0042] [Appendix 7] A table system (4) including the stove (2) according to appendix 6 and a table (3) on which the stove (2) can be placed, The table 3 includes a pair of guide frames 3A on which the placement guide plate 2D is placed, a top plate member 3B placed on the guide frames 3A, and a pair of side frames 3C connecting the pair of guide frames 3A.
[0043] [Appendix 8] The first side surface portion 2Aa is provided with a placement restriction protrusion 2C, When a placement guide plate 2D is placed on a pair of guide frames 3A, if the top plate member 3B is adjacent to the placement guide plate 2D, it does not interfere with the placement restricting protrusion 2C, but if the side frame 3C is adjacent to the placement guide plate 2D, it interferes with the placement restricting protrusion, creating a gap, as described in Appendix 7, in the table system 4.
[0044] According to Appendix 8, it is possible to encourage the placement of the stove 2 with the top plate member 3B interposed between them, rather than directly adjacent to the side frame 3C. If the stove 2 is placed directly adjacent to the side frame 3C without the top plate member 3B on top, a gap will be created due to interference from the placement restriction protrusion 2C, and the user will be informed that this is not an appropriate state of use.
[0045] [Appendix 9] The table 3 includes a table leg 3D that supports a guide frame 3A and a side frame 3C. A table system 4 as described in Appendix 7 or 8, in which a stabilizing member 3E is provided at the end of the table leg 3D that abuts the installation surface. [Explanation of symbols]
