Abstract

In a system where multiple tabletops are placed at different heights and connected via connecting fittings, there is a problem that if an upward external force is applied to the non-connecting side of the tabletop, the connecting fittings can deform, making the non-connecting side of the tabletop prone to lifting. [Solution] In order to solve the above problem, a fixture with tabletops Z is provided, which has multiple tabletops 1 and 2 arranged at different heights and adjacent tabletops 1 and 2 connected by connecting fittings 13, wherein the connecting fittings 13 are provided with mounting plates 13a and 13c fixed to adjacent tabletops 1 and 2 respectively, and a vertical plate 13b that connects these mounting plates 13a and 13c in the vertical direction, and the vertical plate 13b is curved or bent in the thickness direction.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a furniture with a top plate having a plurality of top plates arranged at different heights.

Background Art

[0002] As furniture with a top plate having a plurality of top plates, various ones have been developed as shown in Non-Patent Document 1, for example.

[0003] However, conventional large tables and the like of this type are those in which a plurality of top plates arranged at the same height are connected to each other, and there are not many commercially available furniture in which top plates arranged at different heights are connected by connecting fittings.

[0004] Thus, when a plurality of top plates arranged at different heights are connected via a connecting fitting, the connecting fitting becomes bulky in the vertical direction. Therefore, for example, when an external force acts upward on the anti-connection side of the top plate, it is expected that the connecting fitting will deform and the anti-connection side of the top plate will be easily lifted.

[0010] One embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to Figures 1 to 15. The furniture Z with a top board according to this embodiment includes a plurality of top boards 1, 2, and 3 arranged at different heights, and overlapping regions 11 and 12 are formed where a part of a specific top board 1 overlaps with a part of other adjacent top boards 2 and 3 after having a certain height space. And power outlets 4 and 5 are provided in each of these overlapping regions 11 and 12 respectively. That is, the furniture Z with a top board in this embodiment includes a main top board 1, a first subordinate top board 2 connected and supported to the main top board 1 via a first connecting fitting 13, and a second subordinate top board 3 connected and supported to the aforementioned main top board 1 via a second connecting fitting 14. And a first overlapping region 11 is formed between a part of the main top board 1 and a part of the first subordinate top board 2, and a second overlapping region 12 is formed between a part of the main top board 1 and a part of the second subordinate top board 3. Here, FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the whole furniture Z with a top board, and it shows that power outlets 4 and 5 are respectively arranged in the first and second overlapping regions 11 and 12 formed between the plurality of top boards 1, 2, and 3. Also, FIG. 2 is a plan view of this furniture Z with a top board, and pattern patterns are applied to the aforementioned first and second overlapping regions 11 and 12 respectively. FIG. 3 is an equivalent bottom view. In these drawings 2 and 3, the plurality of top boards 1, 2, and 3 are arranged in a state where a part of them is overlapped to form the first and second overlapping regions 11 and 12. And FIG. 4 is a front view of the same furniture Z with a top board, FIG. 5 is a right side view, FIG. 6 is a left side view, FIG. 7 is a perspective view in which the top boards 1, 2, and 3 are shown by imaginary lines to visualize the framework, and FIG. 8 is a perspective view with a partial omission from below. FIG. 9 is an extraction and showing of the main part of FIG. 8, and only the first and second connecting fittings 13 and 14 are shown by solid lines. As shown in these drawings, the main top board 1 is substantially oval in plan view and has an outer peripheral edge 1c in which arc surfaces with different radii of curvature are smoothly continuous. And the main top board 1 is configured to be able to stand alone on the floor surface by a top board support frame 15 fixed to the lower surface 1b and a pair of leg bodies 16 that support both longitudinal ends of the top board support frame 15. The top plate support frame 15 is in the shape of a square column pipe and is fixed to the lower surface 1b of the main top plate 1 using bolts or the like not shown in the figure. The leg 16 is in the shape of a disk curved in an arc shape in the thickness direction, and a horizontal frame or a column or the like not shown in the figure, which is connected to the top plate support frame 15, is incorporated in the cover 16a. Also, the first secondary top plate 2 is substantially oval in plan view and has an outer peripheral edge 2c that smoothly connects arc surfaces with different radii of curvature. The first secondary top plate 2 includes a top plate support frame 25 fixed to the lower surface 2b and a single leg 26 that supports one end portion in the longitudinal direction of the top plate support frames 25. The other end portion of the top plate 2 is connected to and supported by the main top plate 1 via a first connecting fitting 13 arranged near the first overlap region 11. The top plate support frame 25 is in the shape of a square column pipe and is fixed to the lower surface 2b of the first secondary top plate 2 using bolts or the like not shown in the figure. The leg 26 is in the shape of a disk curved in an arc shape in the thickness direction and incorporates a horizontal frame or a column or the like not shown in the figure, which is connected to the top plate support frame 25, in the cover 26a. Furthermore, the second secondary top plate 3 is substantially triangular in plan view and has an outer peripheral edge 3c that smoothly connects arc surfaces with different radii of curvature. The second secondary top plate 3 is supported on the floor surface by a single leg 36 fixed to the lower surface 3b via a top plate support bracket 35. Further, a part of the top plate 3 is connected to and supported by the main top plate 1 via a second connecting fitting 14 arranged near the second overlap region 12. [[ID=Z]] The top plate support bracket 35 is in the shape of a plate and is fixed to the lower surface 3b of the second secondary top plate 3 using bolts or the like not shown in the figure. The leg 36 is in the shape of a disk curved in an arc shape in the thickness direction and incorporates a column or the like not shown in the figure, which is connected to the top plate support bracket 35, in the cover 36a. The first overlapping region 11 is the region where the main top plate 1 and the first subordinate top plate 2 overlap in a plan view, and a certain height space is formed between the lower surface 1b of the main top plate 1 and the upper surface 2a of the first subordinate top plate 2. The height dimension of the space formed in the first overlapping region 11 should be at least large enough to accommodate a power outlet 4. Furthermore, the second overlapping region 12 is the area where the main top plate 1 and the second subordinate top plate 3 overlap in a plan view, and a certain height space is formed between the upper surface 1a of the main top plate 1 and the lower surface 3b of the second subordinate top plate 3. The height dimension of the space formed in the second overlapping region 12 can be freely set, as long as it is at least large enough to accommodate a power outlet 5. Power outlets 4 and 5 are standard outlets with plug insertion slots on their outer end faces, and are provided on the undersides of top panels 1 and 3 located above each of the overlapping regions 11 and 12. Specifically, in the first overlapping region 11, power outlet 4 is attached to the underside 1b of the main top panel 1 located above via a bracket 41, and in the second overlapping region 12, power outlet 5 is attached to the underside 3b of the second subordinate top panel 3 located above via a bracket 51. Note that power outlets 4 and 5 may be replaced with outlets equipped with USB ports such as USB Type-C instead of standard outlets. However, these power outlets 4 and 5 are located on the underside of the tabletops 1 and 3, which are positioned above the overlap areas 11 and 12, so as to be at eye level for a user seated in a chair. Furthermore, these power outlets 4 and 5 are positioned so that they are visible from the eye level of a user seated in a chair, but difficult to see from the eye level of a user standing. In this fixture with a tabletop Z, the secondary tabletops 2 and 3 are connected to and supported by the self-supporting main tabletop 1 by first and second connecting fittings 13 and 14, which are arranged to correspond to the respective overlapping areas 11 and 12. These first and second connecting fittings 13 and 14 each consist of a pair of horizontal mounting plates 13a and 14a fixed to the main top plate 1, vertical plates 13b and 14b extending vertically from the inner edge of these mounting plates 13a, and a pair of horizontal mounting plates 13c and 14c extending horizontally from the extended ends of these vertical plates 13b and 14b and fixed to the lower surfaces 2b and 3b of the subordinate top plates 2 and 3, and are integrally formed using sheet metal material. Further details are provided below. The connecting fitting 13, located on the side of the first overlapping region 11, connects and supports the first subordinate top plate 2, which cannot stand on its own, to the main top plate 1, which is self-supporting (see Figures 10 to 12). This connecting fitting 13 comprises a mounting plate 13a fixed to the lower surface 1b of the main top plate 1, a mounting plate 13c fixed to the lower surface 2b of the first subordinate top plate 2, and a vertical plate 13b that connects these mounting plates 13a and 13c in the vertical direction, with the vertical plate 13b curved in the thickness direction. To explain in more detail, in this embodiment, the outer edge 2c of the lower top plate 2 is roughly arc-shaped, so the vertical plate 13b arranged along the outer edge 2c of the lower top plate 2 is also curved in a roughly arc shape. However, since the outer edge 2c of the lower top plate 2 is actually a smooth continuation of arc-shaped surfaces with strictly different radii of curvature, excessive precision control is required to ensure that the vertical plate 13b is tightly fitted to this outer edge 2c without any gaps. Therefore, in this embodiment, only two points p1 and p2 located at the left and right ends of the vertical plate 13b in a plan view are in contact with the outer edge 2c of the top plate 2, and a gap q is formed between the outer edge 2c of the top plate 2 and the vertical plate 13b of the connecting fitting 13 in all other areas (see Figure 11). The connecting fitting 14, which is positioned on the second overlapping region 12 side, connects and supports the second subordinate top plate 3 to the self-supporting main top plate 1 (see Figures 13 to 15). As shown in Figures 13 to 15, this connecting fitting 14 comprises a mounting plate 14a fixed to the lower surface 1b of the main top plate 1, a mounting plate 14c fixed to the lower surface 3b of the second subordinate top plate 3, and a vertical plate 14b that connects these mounting plates 14a and 14c in the vertical direction, with the vertical plate 14b curved in the thickness direction. To explain in more detail, in this embodiment, the outer edge 1c of the lower top plate 1 is roughly arc-shaped, so the vertical plate 14b arranged along the outer edge 1c of the lower top plate 1 is also curved in a roughly arc shape. However, since the outer edge 1c of the lower top plate 1 is actually a smooth continuation of arc-shaped surfaces with strictly different radii of curvature, excessive precision control is required to ensure that the vertical plate 14b is tightly fitted to this outer edge 1c without any gaps. Therefore, in this embodiment, only two points s1 and s2 located at the left and right ends of the vertical plate 14b in a plan view are in contact with the outer edge 1c of the top plate 1, and a gap t is formed between the outer edge 1c of the top plate 1 and the vertical plate 14b of the connecting fitting 14 in the other areas (see Figure 14). However, in this fixture with a top plate Z, the outer edges 1c and 2c of the lower top plates 1 and 2 in each overlapping region 11 and 12 are roughly arc-shaped, and the vertical plates 13b and 14b of the connecting fittings 13 and 14 are curved in a roughly arc shape along the outer edges 1c and 2c of the top plates 1 and 2. The connecting fittings 13 and 14 are positioned by bringing at least two points p1, p2, s1, and s2 of the vertical plates 13b and 14b of the connecting fittings 13 and 14 into contact with the outer edges 1c and 2c of the lower top plates 1 and 2, which are roughly arc-shaped. With a fixture Z having a tabletop configured in this way, multiple tabletops 1, 2, and 3 of different heights are arranged in a partially overlapping manner, making it easy to create a three-dimensional form without relying on custom construction, and allowing for a wider variety of shapes compared to flat tables, etc. Furthermore, since these overlapping regions 11 and 12 have a certain height, equipment to enhance functionality can be placed in that space. In this invention, at least power outlets 4 and 5 are placed in these overlapping regions 11 and 12. As a result, convenience for users of each of the top panels 1, 2, and 3 is greatly improved. There are various ways in which power outlets 4 and 5 can be provided in the overlapping areas 11 and 12, but as in this embodiment, by arranging power outlets 4 and 5 on the lower surfaces 1b and 3b of the top plates 1 and 3 located above the overlapping areas 11 and 12, it becomes possible to extend the upper surfaces 1a and 2a of the lower top plates 1 and 2 to the overlapping areas 11 and 12, thereby easily expanding the effective area of ​​the top plates 1 and 2 and improving usability. In other words, with this configuration, the upper surfaces 1a and 2a of the lower top plates 1 and 2 can be made into continuous flat surfaces without protrusions or recesses, making it possible to use virtually the entire upper surface area of ​​the top plates 1 and 2. Furthermore, considering the line of sight of a user seated in a chair, the power outlets 4 and 5 could be positioned to correspond to that line of sight on either the lower surfaces 1b and 3b of the upper top panels 1 and 3 of the overlapping areas 11 and 12, or on the upper surfaces 1a and 2a of the lower top panels 1 and 2. However, in this embodiment, the power outlets 4 and 5 are positioned so that they are visible from the line of sight of a user seated in a chair, but difficult to see from the line of sight of a user standing. As a result, the power outlets 4 and 5 do not stand out unnecessarily, and convenience can be ensured without giving an overly cluttered impression.

[0011] Furthermore, since the system uses multiple tabletops 1, 2, and 3, consisting of a self-supporting main tabletop 1 and secondary tabletops 2 and 3 connected to and supported by the main tabletop 1 via connecting fittings 13 and 14, the number of components such as the legs 16, 26, and 36 that support the tabletops 1, 2, and 3 can be minimized. As a result, not only can the number of parts be reduced, but a superior tabletop-equipped furniture Z can be provided that does not give a complicated impression even when a large-scale design is performed. In addition, by making the secondary tabletops 2 and 3 dependent on the self-supporting main tabletop 1 in this way, it is also possible to create a wide legroom on the secondary tabletops 2 and 3.

[0012] Furthermore, the fixture Z with a tabletop in this embodiment also has a special configuration for connecting the tabletops 1 and 2 (1 and 3) to each other, and based on this configuration, the following effects can be obtained. In other words, this fixture with a top plate Z is made up of adjacent top plates 1 and 2 (1 and 3) connected by connecting fittings 13 (14), and the connecting fittings 13 (14) include mounting plates 13a and 13c (14a and 14c) that are fixed to adjacent top plates 1 and 2 (1 and 3), respectively, and vertical plates 13b (14b) that connect these mounting plates 13a and 13c (14a and 14c) in the vertical direction. Therefore, adjacent top plates 1 and 2 (1 and 3) can be connected without difficulty even if their height positions are different from each other. Furthermore, because the vertical plates 13b (14b) are curved in the thickness direction, they are less prone to deformation in the thickness direction compared to flat plates that are not curved or bent. Therefore, the top plates 1 and 2 (1 and 3) can be connected to each other while maintaining high rigidity using relatively simple and lightweight connecting fittings 13 (14). This effect becomes more pronounced as the height difference between the top plates 1 and 2 (1 and 3) to be connected increases. Furthermore, in a fixture Z with a tabletop, as in this embodiment, which has an overlapping region 11(12) with a certain height space between adjacent tabletops 1, 2 (1, 3), if the connecting fitting 13(14) is placed near the overlapping region 11(12), it is possible to improve the connection rigidity between adjacent tabletops 1 and 2 (1 and 3) without difficulty, and it is also possible to place the connecting fitting 13(14) inconspicuously.

[0013] In the case of the fixture Z with a top plate of this embodiment, in the overlap region 11, one mounting plate 13a of the connecting fitting 13 is fixed to the lower surface 1b of the upper top plate 1, and the other mounting plate 13c is fixed to the lower surface 2b of the lower top plate 2, and the vertical plate 13b is arranged along the outer peripheral edge 2c, which is the edge of the lower top plate 2 (see Figure 10). Similarly, in the overlap region 12, one mounting plate 14a of the connecting fitting 14 is fixed to the lower surface 1b of the lower top plate 1, and the other mounting plate 14c is fixed to the lower surface 3b of the upper top plate 3, and the vertical plate 14b is arranged along the outer peripheral edge 1c, which is the edge of the lower top plate 1 (see Figure 13). By fastening the mounting plates 13a (14a) of the connecting fittings 13 (14) to the lower surfaces 1b and 2b of the top plates 1 and 2, respectively, the workability during assembly is improved. Furthermore, by arranging the vertical plates 13b (14b) along the outer edges 1c and 2c (1c and 3c) of the lower top plates 1 and 2 (1 and 3), the back end of the overlapping area 11 (12) can be neatly demarcated without requiring any special space.

[0014] In this embodiment, as shown in Figures 10 and 11, in the overlap region 11, the outer edge 2c of the lower top plate 2 is substantially arc-shaped, and the vertical plate 13b of the connecting fitting 13 is curved in a substantially arc shape along its outer edge 2c. As a result, the vertical plate 13b of the connecting fitting 13 has a simple form, making it relatively easy to align it with the outer edge 2c of the top plate 2. In this embodiment, the outer edge 2c of the lower top plate 2 is substantially arc-shaped, and the vertical plate 13b of the connecting fitting 13 is in contact with the outer edge 2c at at least two points p1 and p2 (see Figure 11). Therefore, the connecting fitting 13 can be positioned on the corresponding top plate 2 without having to tightly adhere the vertical plate 13b to the outer edge 2c of the top plate 2 over its entire length.

[0015] Furthermore, in this embodiment, as shown in Figures 13 and 14, in the overlap region 12, the outer edge 1c of the lower top plate 1 is substantially arc-shaped, and the vertical plate 14b of the connecting fitting 14 is curved in a substantially arc shape along its outer edge 1c. As a result, the vertical plate 14b of the connecting fitting 14 has a simple form, making it relatively easy to align it with the outer edge 1c of the top plate 1. In this embodiment, the outer edge 1c of the lower top plate 1 is substantially arc-shaped, and the vertical plate 14b of the connecting fitting 14 is in contact with the outer edge 1c at at least two points s1 and s2 (see Figure 14). As a result, the connecting fitting 14 can be positioned on the corresponding top plate 1 without having to tightly adhere the vertical plate 14b to the outer edge 1c of the top plate 1 over its entire length.

[0016] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the connecting fitting 13(14) has one mounting plate 13a(14c) that is continuous with the upper edge of the vertical plate 13b(14b) and the other mounting plate 13c(14a) that is continuous with the lower edge of the vertical plate 13b(14b) extending in opposite directions. Therefore, even if an overlapping region 11(12) exists, the mounting plates 13c(14a) of the connecting fitting 13(14) can be attached to the lower surface 2b(1b) of the top plate 2(1). As a result, the assembly work of the connecting fitting 13(14) becomes easier. Furthermore, as shown in the illustrated embodiment, by connecting and supporting the secondary tabletops 2 and 3 to the self-supporting main tabletop 1 via connecting fittings 13 and 14, the number of components such as legs that support the secondary tabletops 2 and 3 can be minimized. It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and various modifications are possible without departing from its spirit. Although the illustrated embodiment describes a configuration combining three tabletops, it may also consist of two or four or more tabletops arranged in a series. Furthermore, the invention described in claim 1 also includes cases in which no overlapping area is formed between adjacent tabletops. Furthermore, although the illustrated embodiment describes a case in which two subordinate tabletops are connected and supported by a single self-supporting main tabletop, the self-supporting main tabletop does not necessarily have to be a single unit and can be modified in various ways. In other words, the connecting fitting of the present invention can be in any form as long as it connects tabletops that are arranged at different heights, and the tabletops can be either the main tabletop or the subordinate tabletops. In the illustrated embodiment, the vertical plate of the connecting fitting was described as being curved in a roughly arc shape in plan view to correspond to the outer edge of the top plate, but the vertical plate can also be bent in a zigzag pattern or curved in a corrugated shape in plan view. Furthermore, the shape and number of mounting plates connected to the vertical plate are not limited to those shown in the illustrated embodiment. Furthermore, although the illustrated embodiment describes a case where the vertical plate of the connecting fitting is arranged along the outer edge of the top plate, the vertical plate does not necessarily have to be arranged along the edge of the top plate. However, arranging the vertical plate along the edge of the top plate makes it easy to position the connecting fitting relative to the top plate. When positioning the connecting fitting by bringing the vertical plate into contact with the edge of the top plate, this objective can be achieved by ensuring that at least two points of the vertical plate are in contact with the top plate. In other words, by doing so, the connecting fitting can be positioned relative to the top plate without excessively increasing the processing precision of the connecting fitting. Furthermore, although the illustrated embodiment describes a configuration in which one mounting plate is continuous with the upper edge of the vertical plate and the other mounting plate is continuous with the lower edge of the vertical plate, extending in opposite directions, the present invention also includes a configuration in which both mounting plates extend in the same direction. Furthermore, various modifications are possible without departing from the spirit of the present invention. [Explanation of Symbols]
