[0004] [Patent Document 1] JP 2002-331862 A [Patent Document 2] JP 2009-83831 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0005] In movie theaters and the like, there are known removable trays that are inserted into a cup holder at the front end of the armrest of a chair in which the user sits. Such removable trays that are inserted into the cup holder of the armrest are used in front of the user's chair. Therefore, there is a limit to how large the tray area can be when people pass between the user's seat and the chair in front of them.
[0006] In view of the above, an object of the present invention is to increase the area of the table portion of a detachable table that is attached to a chair. [Means for solving the problem]
[0007] The first aspect is a detachable table that is removably attached to a chair, and includes a cover portion that is placed over at least one of the raised seat and back of the chair, and a table portion that extends forward from the lower portion of the cover portion.
[0008] In the first embodiment of the detachable table, the table portion extends forward from the lower portion of the cover portion that covers at least one of the raised seat and back of the chair. Therefore, the front side of at least one of the seat and back of the chair can be used as the table portion, so the area of the table portion can be increased.
[0009] A second aspect is the detachable table according to the first aspect, wherein armrest attachment portions for attachment to armrest portions of the chair are provided on both outer sides of the table portion in the width direction.
[0010] In the second embodiment of the detachable table, the armrest attachment parts provided on both widthwise outer sides of the table part are attached to the armrest parts of the chair, so that the table part is hung across the armrest parts. Therefore, the armrest parts on both sides support the table part, so the load capacity is larger than when the table part is cantilevered.
[0011] A third aspect is the detachable table according to the first or second aspect, wherein a cup holder is provided on an upper surface of the cover.
[0012] In the detachable table of the third aspect, the cup holder is provided on the upper surface of the cover, so that the table portion can be used more widely than in the case where the cup holder is provided on the table portion.
[0013] A fourth aspect is a detachable table set comprising a detachable table described in any one of the first to third aspects which is attached to a first chair, and a detachable partition plate which is detachably attached to the armrest portion of a second chair adjacent to the first chair.
[0014] In the fourth embodiment of the removable table set, a removable table is attached to a first chair, and a removable partition is attached to the armrest of a second chair adjacent to the first chair, thereby separating the second chair from the one next to it. This, for example, blocks the line of sight to the person sitting in the second chair, creating a calm space. Effect of the Invention
[0015] According to the present invention, the area of the table portion of the detachable table attached to the chair can be increased. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0017] First Embodiment A removable table set consisting of a removable table and a removable partition plate according to the first embodiment will be described. The two directions perpendicular to the horizontal direction are the X direction and the Y direction, respectively indicated by the arrows X and Y. The vertical direction perpendicular to the X direction and the Y direction is the Z direction, indicated by the arrow Z.
[0018] [structure] First, the structure of the detachable table and the detachable partition plate of the detachable table set will be described.
[0019] 7 shows a stepped spectator seating area 90 for a stadium or the like, in which spectator chairs 10 are lined up. The spectator seating area 90 has an aisle 94 between each row 92 in which a plurality of chairs 10 are lined up.
[0020] As shown in Figures 3(A), 3(B), 4 and 6, the chair 10 is configured to include a frame 12, a seat 20, a back 30, and armrests 40. The seat 20, back 30, and other components are fixed to the frame 12 of the chair 10.
[0021] The front-to-rear direction of chair 10 is defined as the Y direction. The side of chair 10 facing back 30 is defined as the rear side, and the side opposite back 30 is defined as the front side. The X direction when viewed from the Y direction is defined as the width direction of chair 10.
[0022] As shown in Figures 3(A), 3(B) and 6, in this embodiment, the lower end 14 of the frame 12 of the chair 10 is joined to the front portion 97 of the step portion 96 of the spectator seats 90, but this is not limited to this.
[0023] As shown in Figures 4 and 6, the armrest 40 is provided on the outer side in the width direction of the seat 20 of the chair 10. A cup holder 42 is provided at the front end of the armrest 40 in this embodiment (see also Figures 3(A) and 3(B)). Note that, as shown in Figures 4, 6 and 7, one armrest 40 in this embodiment is provided independently between adjacent chairs 10, but this is not limited to this.
[0024] 4 and 6, the rear end 22 of the seat 20 is rotatably provided on the inner surface of the frame 12. Therefore, the chair 10 of this embodiment is a flip-up seat chair in which the seat surface 20A is aligned substantially horizontally when the spectator is seated and in a reclining position, but the seat surface 20A flips up substantially vertically when the spectator is not seated (see also FIGS. 3(A) and 3(B)).
[0025] The removable table 100 (see FIG. 1) and the removable partition plate 200 (see FIG. 2) constituting the removable table set 50 shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 are detachably attached to the chair 10 (see FIG. 4, FIG. 6, etc.). In the following explanation, the directions of the removable table 100 and the removable partition plate 200 are those in a state where they are attached to the chair 10 (see FIG. 4, FIG. 6, etc.).
[0026] As shown in Fig. 1, the removable table 100 is composed of a cover part 110, a table part 150, and a table side armrest attachment part 160. The cover part 110 is box-shaped with an open bottom. An upper surface part 112 of the cover part 110 has recesses 114 formed at intervals in the width direction. The recesses 114 function as cup holders into which cups are inserted.
[0027] As shown in FIG. 3(A), the cover portion 110 is shaped to be inserted from above and cover the upper portion 24 of the raised seat portion 20 of the chair 10 (see also FIGS. 4 and 6).
[0028] As shown in Fig. 1, the table part 150 extends forward from the lower part 116 of the cover part 110. The table side armrest attachment parts 160 are provided on both sides in the width direction of the table part 150. The table side armrest attachment parts 160 are shaped like a box that is long in the front-rear direction and open downward.
[0029] As shown in FIG. 3(A), the table-side armrest attachment section 160 is shaped to be attached by covering the armrest section 40 of the chair 10 from above (see also FIGS. 4 and 6).
[0030] The removable partition 200 shown in Fig. 2 is comprised of a partition section 210 and a partition-side armrest attachment section 260. The partition-side armrest attachment section 260 is shaped like a box that is long in the front-rear direction and is open at the bottom. The partition section 210 is provided on an upper surface 260A of the partition-side armrest attachment section 260, with the out-of-plane direction being the width direction.
[0031] As shown in FIG. 3(B), the partition-side armrest attachment section 260 is shaped to be attached by covering the armrest section 40 from above (see also FIGS. 4 and 6).
[0032] (Attaching to a chair) Next, the attachment of the removable table 100 and the removable partition 200 of the removable table set 50 to the chair 10 will be described. As shown in Figures 3, 4 and 6, the chair 10 to which the removable table 100 is attached is referred to as the first chair 10A, and the chair 10 to which the removable partition 200 is attached is referred to as the second chair 10B. The second chairs 10B are the chairs on both sides of the first chair 10A.
[0033] As shown in Fig. 3(A), Fig. 4 and Fig. 6, the removable table 100 (see Fig. 1) is attached to the first chair 10A in which the seat surface 20A of the seat 20 is raised in a direction along the substantially vertical direction. The cover part 110 is inserted from above and covers the upper part 24 of the raised seat 20. The table side armrest attachment parts 160 on both sides in the width direction of the table part 150 are attached to cover the armrest parts 40 on both sides of the first chair 10A from above. As a result, the table part 150 of the removable table 100 is fixed by being stretched across the armrest parts 40 on both sides. In this embodiment, a gap is formed between the inner surface of the cover part 110 and the upper part 24 of the seat part 20.
[0034] As shown in FIG. 4, the upper end 113 of the cover portion 110 of the detachable table 100 is lower than the upper end 31 of the back portion 30 of the first chair 10A.
[0035] As shown in Figures 3(B), 4 and 6, the removable partition 200 (see Figure 2) is attached to the armrest portion 40 of the removable table 100 on the side of the second chair 10B adjacent to the first chair 10A on which the table-side armrest attachment portion 160 is not attached. This allows the partition portion 210 of the removable partition 200 to separate the second chair 10B from the chair 10 on the opposite side to the first chair 10A.
[0036] [Action and Effects] Next, the operation and effects of this embodiment will be described.
[0037] In the removable table 100 of this embodiment, the table portion 150 extends from the lower portion 116 of the cover portion 110 that covers the raised seat portion 20 of the first chair 10A. Therefore, the entire front side of the raised seat portion 20 of the chair 10 can be used as the table portion 150, so the area of the table portion 150 can be increased. Furthermore, even if the area of the table portion 150 is increased, it does not or is unlikely to be an obstacle when people pass through the passage 94 between the chairs 10 in the front row 92.
[0038] Furthermore, by attaching the table side armrest attachment parts 160 provided on both outer sides of the table part 150 in the width direction to the armrest parts 40 on both sides of the first chair 10A, the table part 150 is hung across the armrest parts 40. Therefore, since the armrest parts 40 on both sides support the table part 150, the loadable weight of the table part 150 becomes larger compared to when the table part 150 is cantilevered.
[0039] Furthermore, since the upper surface 112 of the cover portion 110 is provided with the recess 114 that serves as a cup holder, the table portion 150 can be used more widely than if the cup holder were provided on the table portion 150 .
[0040] In addition, by attaching a removable partition plate 200 to the armrest portion 40 on the side of the removable table 100 on the second chair 10B where the table-side armrest attachment portion 160 is not attached, the second chair 10B is partitioned from the chair 10 beside it. This, for example, blocks the line of sight to the person sitting in the second chair 10B, creating a calm space.
[0041] In addition, the upper end 113 of the cover portion 110 of the removable table 100 is lower than the upper end 31 of the back portion 30 of the first chair 10A. Therefore, even if a spectator is sitting on the chair 10 behind the first chair 10A, the cover portion 110 will not obstruct the spectator's viewing.
[0042] 5, in this embodiment, a removable table 100 is attached to a first chair 10A in the middle of the three chairs 10, and removable partitions 200 are attached to second chairs 10B on both sides of the first chair 10A. Also, the seat 20 of the first chair 10A is lifted up.
[0043] Therefore, spectators 500A, 500B sitting in the second chair 10B on either side of the first chair 10A can place their legs 502A, 502B under the table portion 150 of the detachable table 100 of the first chair 10A and eat and drink while having a conversation.
[0044] In addition, a recess 114 that serves as a cup holder is provided on the upper surface 112 of the cover portion 110, and since the cups are not between the spectators 500A, 500B and the table portion 150, the cups do not get in the way of eating.
[0045] Furthermore, by attaching a removable partition plate 200 to the armrest portion 40 of the second chair 10B on the opposite side to the first chair 10A, the first chair 10A and the adjacent second chairs 10B on both sides are partitioned off, creating a calm space.
[0046] In this way, by using the removable table set 50 as necessary with the existing chairs 10, the first chair 10A and the two adjacent second chairs 10B can be made into a comfortable space where people can eat and drink while watching the game. Also, by removing the removable table 100 and the removable partition plate 200, the chairs 10 can be returned to their original state.
[0047] In other words, VIP seats, which require a comfortable space where people can eat and drink while watching the game, can be set up as needed without having to prepare dedicated chairs, aisles, etc. in advance.
[0048] Second Embodiment A detachable table according to a second embodiment will be described below. Note that the same members as those in the first embodiment are given the same reference numerals, and duplicated descriptions will be omitted or simplified.
[0049] [structure] First, the structure of the detachable table will be described.
[0050] As shown in Fig. 8, the detachable table 300 is composed of a cover part 110, a table part 150, a table side armrest attachment part 160, and a partition board part 210. The cover part 110 is in a box shape with an open bottom. An upper surface part 112 of the cover part 110 is formed with recesses 114 spaced apart in the width direction and functioning as cup holders.
[0051] The table section 150 extends forward from the lower portion 116 of the cover section 110. Table-side armrest attachment sections 160 are provided on both widthwise sides of the table section 150. The partition plate section 210 is provided on an upper surface 160A of one of the table-side armrest attachment sections 160, with the out-of-plane direction being the width direction.
[0052] (Attaching to a chair) Next, a description will be given of how to attach the detachable table 300 to the chair 10. As shown in Fig. 9, the chair to which the detachable table 300 is attached is referred to as a first chair 10A, and the chair adjacent to the first chair 10A is referred to as a second chair 10B.
[0053] As shown in Fig. 9, the removable table 300 (see Fig. 8) is attached to the first chair 10A with the seat surface 20A of the seat 20 raised in a direction substantially along the vertical direction. The cover section 110 is inserted from above and covers the upper portion 24 of the raised seat 20. The table side armrest attachment sections 160 on both sides in the width direction of the table section 150 are attached to cover the armrest sections 40 on both sides of the first chair 10A from above. In this way, the table section 150 of the removable table 100 is fixed across the armrest sections 40 on both sides. In addition, the partition plate section 210 separates the table from the adjacent chair 10.
[0054] [Action and Effects] Next, the operation and effects of this embodiment will be described.
[0055] In the removable table 300 of this embodiment, the table portion 150 extends from the lower portion 116 of the cover portion 110 that covers the raised seat portion 20 of the first chair 10A. Therefore, the entire front side of the raised seat portion 20 of the chair 10 can be used as the table portion 150, so the area of the table portion 150 can be increased. Furthermore, even if the area of the table portion 150 is increased, it does not or is unlikely to be an obstacle when people pass through the passage 94 between the chair 10 in the front row 92.
[0056] Furthermore, by attaching the table side armrest attachment parts 160 provided on both outer sides of the table part 150 in the width direction to the armrest parts 40 on both sides of the first chair 10A, the table part 150 is hung across the armrest parts 40. Therefore, since the armrest parts 40 on both sides support the table part 150, the loadable weight of the table part 150 becomes larger compared to when the table part 150 is cantilevered.
[0057] Furthermore, since the upper surface 112 of the cover portion 110 is provided with the recess 114 that serves as a cup holder, the table portion 150 can be used more widely than if the cup holder were provided on the table portion 150 .
[0058] In addition, the partition plate portion 210 separates the chair from the adjacent chair 10. This blocks the line of sight to a person sitting in the second chair 10B, for example, creating a calm space.
[0059] In this embodiment, a detachable table 100 is attached to a first chair 10A of the two chairs 10.
[0060] Therefore, a spectator sitting in the second chair 10B adjacent to the first chair 10A can eat and drink with his / her legs under the table portion 150 of the detachable table 100 of the first chair 10A (see FIG. 5).
[0061] Furthermore, a recess 114 that serves as a cup holder is provided on the upper surface 112 of the cover portion 110, and since a cup is not between the cover portion 110 and the table portion 150, the cup does not get in the way of eating.
[0062] Furthermore, the first chair 10A and the adjacent second chair 10B are separated by the partition plate portion 210, creating a relaxing space.
[0063] In this way, by using the removable table 300 as necessary with the existing chair 10, the first chair 10A and the adjacent second chair 10B can be made into a comfortable space where people can eat and drink while watching the game. Also, by removing the removable table 300 and the removable partition plate 200, the chairs can be returned to their original state.
[0064] In other words, VIP seats, which require a comfortable space where people can eat and drink while watching the game, can be set up as needed without having to prepare dedicated chairs, aisles, etc. in advance.
[0065] <Other> The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment.
[0066] For example, in the above embodiment, the cover part 110 of the detachable table 100, 300 covers the lifted seat part 20, but is not limited to this. The cover part 110 may cover both the lifted seat part 20 and the back part 30, or in the case of a seat part 20 that cannot be lifted, the cover part 110 may be configured to cover the back part 30.
[0067] Also, for example, the table-side armrest attachment parts 160 provided on both sides of the table part 150 of the detachable table 100, 300 in the above embodiment are box-shaped and long in the front-rear direction with an open bottom, but this is not limiting. For example, the table-side armrest attachment part may not be box-shaped and may only have a side wall on the outer side in the width direction and a front wall at the front end. In short, the table-side armrest attachment part needs to have a function of supporting the table part by bridging the table part across the armrest parts 40 on both sides, without being cantilevered.
[0068] Also, for example, in the above embodiment, the detachable tables 100, 300 are attached to the table side armrest attachment parts 160 on both outer sides of the table part 150, and the table part 150 is hung across the armrest part 40, but this is not limited to this. A configuration without the table side armrest attachment parts 160 is also possible so that it can be applied to chairs that do not have armrest parts 40. In this case, the cover part 110 is fixed by covering at least one of the seat part 20 and the back part 30. Also, ribs or the like may be provided on the underside of the table part 150 as necessary to ensure rigidity.
[0069] Furthermore, the present invention can be embodied in various forms without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. A plurality of embodiments and modifications can be implemented in appropriate combination. [Explanation of symbols]
