DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0026] As shown in FIG. 1, the fire pit 2 includes a base member 4, a cover member 6, and four stacked members 8, 10, 12, and 14. When assembling the fire pit 2, the base member 4 is placed on the ground. The cover member 6 is placed on the base member 4. The stacked member 8 is placed on the cover member 6. The stacked member 10 is placed on the stacked member 8. The stacked member 12 is placed on the stacked member 10. The stacked member 14 is placed on the stacked member 12.

[0027] As shown in FIG. 2, the base member 4 includes a bottom plate 16, a right side plate 18, and a left side plate 20. The bottom plate 16 includes a frame portion 16a having an octagonal frame shape, and four inner locking portions 16b, 16c, 16d, and 16e extending upward from the inner edge of the frame portion 16a. The right side plate 18 includes a right side portion 18a having a shape obtained by dividing an octagonal rectangular tube in half, and three outer locking portions 18b, 18c, and 18d extending upward from the upper end of a corner of the right side portion 18a. The left side plate 20 includes a left side portion 20a having a shape obtained by dividing an octagonal rectangular tube in half, and three outer locking portions 20b, 20c, and 20d extending upward from the upper end of a corner of the left side portion 20a. The right side plate 18 and the left side plate 20 are attached to the outer edge of the bottom plate 16. The bottom plate 16, the right side plate 18 and the left side plate 20 are joined together by welding.

[0028] As shown in FIG. 3, the cover member 6 includes an octagonal bottom plate portion 6a and a side plate portion 6b that extends upward from the outer edge of the bottom plate portion 6a and has an octagonal cylindrical shape. A recess 6c that is recessed downward is formed at the center of each side of the upper end of the side plate portion 6b. The shape of the inner surface of the side plate portion 6b of the cover member 6 is larger than the shape of the outer surface of the right plate 18 and the left plate 20 of the base member 4 shown in FIG. 2. As shown in FIG. 1, the cover member 6 is placed on the base member 4 so that each corner of the side plate portion 6b (see FIG. 3) fits between the outer engagement portions 18b, 18c, 18d, 20b, 20c, and 20d (see FIG. 2). This prohibits the cover member 6 from moving horizontally relative to the base member 4 or rotating around the vertical axis. When the fire pit 2 is assembled, firewood can be placed on the bottom plate portion 6a of the cover member 6 and burned.

[0029] The laminated members 8, 10, 12, and 14 all have the same configuration. In the following, the laminated member 8 will be described as an example.

[0030] As shown in FIG. 4, the laminated member 8 includes a first member 22, a second member 24, and a connecting member 26 that connects the first member 22 and the second member 24. The first member 22 has a shape of an octagonal tube with two opposing side plates 28, 30 and three side plates 32, 34, 36 between them. The upper ends of the side plates 28, 30, 32, 34, 36 are formed with recesses 28a, 30a, 32a, 34a, 36a that are recessed downward. The second member 24 has a shape of an octagonal tube with two opposing side plates 38, 40 and three side plates 42, 44, 46 between them. The upper ends of the side plates 38, 40, 42, 44, 46 are formed with recesses 38a, 40a, 42a, 44a, 46a that are recessed downward. Additionally, finger hook protrusions 38b, 40b protruding downward are formed on the lower ends of the side plates 38, 40 of the second member 24. The shape of the inner surface of the second member 24 is slightly larger than the shape of the outer surface of the first member 22.

[0031] As shown in FIG. 1, the stacking member 8 is placed on the cover member 6 so that the corners (see FIG. 4) of the first member 22 and the second member 24 enter the recesses 6c (see FIG. 3). This prohibits the stacking member 8 from moving horizontally relative to the cover member 6 and from rotating around the vertical axis. The stacking member 10 is placed on the stacking member 8 so that the corners of the first member 22 and the second member 24 enter the recesses 28a, 30a, 32a, 34a, 36a, 38a, 40a, 42a, 44a, 46a. This prohibits the stacking member 10 from moving horizontally relative to the stacking member 8 and from rotating around the vertical axis. Similarly, the stacking member 12 is placed on the stacking member 10, and the stacking member 14 is placed on the stacking member 12. A cooking griddle, a griddle, or the like can be placed on the top stacking member 14. By appropriately adjusting the number of layers of the laminated members 8, 10, 12, and 14 placed on the cover member 6, the height of the fire pit 2 can be adjusted to a desired height.

[0032] As shown in Fig. 5, for each of the laminated members 8, 10, 12, and 14, the side plate 28 of the first member 22 is formed with a guide hole 28c, a long hole 28d, an engagement hole 28e, and a finger hole 28f. The side plate 38 of the second member 24 is formed with rivet holes 38c, 38d, and an engagement protrusion 38e. The connecting member 26 includes rivets 48, 50, stepped washers 52, 54, spacers 56, 58, and flat washers 60, 62. As shown in Fig. 6, the rivet 48 passes through the rivet hole 38c of the second member 24, the flat washer 60, the guide hole 28c of the first member 22, the spacer 56, and the stepped washer 52 in that order from the outside of the second member 24, and the tip is crimped. The rivet 50 passes through the rivet hole 38d of the second member 24, the flat washer 62, the elongated hole 28d of the first member 22, the spacer 58, and the stepped washer 54 in that order from the outside of the second member 24, and has its tip crimped.

[0033] 4, the side plate 30 of the first member 22 and the side plate 40 of the second member 24 are connected by a structure similar to the connecting structure between the side plate 28 of the first member 22 and the side plate 38 of the second member 24 described above. For this reason, the connecting structure between the side plate 30 of the first member 22 and the side plate 40 of the second member 24 is denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

[0034] The laminated members 8, 10, 12, and 14 can be folded from the unfolded state. For example, when folding the laminated member 8 from the state shown in FIG. 4, the first member 22 is pushed horizontally toward the second member 24. As a result, as shown in FIG. 7, the rivet 48 moves in the guide holes 28c and 30c, and the rivet 50 moves in the long holes 28d and 30d, so that the first member 22 approaches the second member 24. Thereafter, when the side plate 34 of the first member 22 is pushed upward relative to the second member 24, as shown in FIG. 8, the rivet 48 moves in the guide holes 28c and 30c, so that the first member 22 rotates relative to the second member 24 with the rivet 50 as the rotation axis. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 9, the first member 22 is rotated to the same side as the second member 24, and then the first member 22 is further pushed horizontally toward the second member 24. 10, the rivet 48 moves within the guide holes 28c, 30c, and the rivet 50 moves within the elongated holes 28d, 30d, so that the outer surface of the first member 22 comes into contact with the inner surface of the second member 24. In this manner, the laminated member 8 can be folded.

[0035] The laminated members 8, 10, 12, and 14 can also be unfolded from the folded state. For example, when unfolding the laminated member 8 from the state shown in FIG. 10, the fingers of one hand are hooked on the finger holes 28f and 30f, and the fingers of the other hand are hooked on the finger hook protrusions 38b and 40b, and the first member 22 is pulled away from the second member 24 in the horizontal direction. As a result, as shown in FIG. 9, the rivet 48 moves in the guide holes 28c and 30c, and the rivet 50 moves in the long holes 28d and 30d, and the first member 22 moves away from the second member 24. After that, when the side plate 34 of the first member 22 is pushed upward relative to the second member 24, as shown in FIG. 8, the rivet 48 moves in the guide holes 28c and 30c, and the first member 22 rotates relative to the second member 24 around the rivet 50 as a rotation axis. Thereafter, as shown in Fig. 7, the first member 22 is rotated to the opposite side of the second member 24, and then the first member 22 is further separated from the second member 24 in the horizontal direction. As a result, as shown in Fig. 4, the rivet 48 moves within the guide holes 28c, 30c, and the rivet 50 moves within the long holes 28d, 30d, and the first member 22 is separated from the second member 24. In this manner, the laminated members 8 can be unfolded. In the state shown in Fig. 4, the engaging projections 38e, 40e of the second member 24 engage with the engaging holes 28e, 30e of the first member 22, so that the laminated members 8 can be held in the unfolded state.

[0036] As shown in FIG. 6, flat washers 60, 62 are interposed between the first member 22 and the second member 24, so that resistance due to friction can be reduced when folding and unfolding the laminated members 8, 10, 12, 14 as described above.

[0037] As shown in FIG. 11, when storing the fire pit 2, first, the stacked members 8 and 10 are folded and then inverted upside down to store the stacked members 8 and 10 inside the base member 4. At this time, the stacked member 8 is engaged with the inner locking portions 16b and 16c of the base member 4, and the stacked member 10 is engaged with the inner locking portions 16d and 16e of the base member 4. Then, as shown in FIG. 12, the stacked members 12 and 14 are folded and then inverted upside down to store the stacked members 12 and 14 inside the base member 4. At this time, the stacked member 12 is engaged with the inner locking portions 16b and 16c of the base member 4 on the stacked member 8, and the stacked member 14 is engaged with the inner locking portions 16d and 16e of the base member 4 on the stacked member 10.
