Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] By the way, there are cases where it is necessary to add furniture with a top plate due to an increase in the number of workers, etc., or where it is necessary to move a plurality of furniture with a top plate due to a layout change of the workspace, etc. In such cases, in the furniture with a top plate disclosed in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2, the degree of freedom in layout when installing a plurality of furniture with a top plate is low, and it may be difficult to add or move the furniture with a top plate.

[0005] The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems, and an object thereof is to improve the degree of freedom in layout of furniture with a top plate in a furniture system having a plurality of furniture with a top plate.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0006] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention adopts the following configuration.

[0007] A first aspect of the present invention is a furniture system including a piece of furniture with a first top plate and a piece of furniture with a second top plate, wherein a lower surface of the second top plate is disposed at a position higher than an upper surface of the first top plate, and in a plan view, a part of the first top plate is disposed overlapping the second top plate, and another part of the first top plate is disposed so as to be exposed upward.

[0008] The furniture system according to the first aspect of the present invention includes a piece of furniture with a first top plate having a relatively low height and a piece of furniture with a second top plate having a relatively high height. A lower surface of the second top plate is disposed at a position higher than an upper surface of the first top plate. Therefore, in the furniture system according to the first aspect of the present invention, it is possible to dispose a part of the piece of furniture with the first top plate below the piece of furniture with the second top plate.

[0009] That is, in the furniture system according to the first aspect of the present invention, a part of the piece of furniture with the first top plate can be accommodated below the piece of furniture with the second top plate, and an exposed portion of the first top plate can be used as a work surface. Thus, according to the furniture system of the first aspect of the present invention, it is possible to lay out the piece of furniture with the first top plate and the piece of furniture with the second top plate in a state where they partially overlap each other, and the degree of freedom in layout of the furniture with a top plate is increased as compared with a case where the pieces of furniture with a top plate cannot be laid out with a part of them overlapping each other. Therefore, according to the furniture system of the first aspect of the present invention, it is possible to improve the degree of freedom in layout of the furniture with a top plate in a furniture system having a plurality of pieces of furniture with a top plate.

[0010] A second aspect of the present invention is the configuration in the first aspect, wherein the piece of furniture with the second top plate includes a pair of supports that are spaced apart in a horizontal first direction and support the second top plate and whose inner wall surfaces face each other, and the first top plate is disposed between one of the supports and the other support.

[0011] According to the second aspect of the present invention, since the first top plate is disposed between the supports, it is possible to prevent the first top plate from protruding from the end of the second top plate in plan view. Therefore, according to the second aspect of the present invention, it becomes possible to effectively utilize the end of the second top plate.

[0012] The third aspect of the present invention adopts, in the second aspect, a configuration in which the support extends downward from the lower surface of the second top plate, and the inner wall surface is formed as an inclined surface that faces in a direction away from the other support as it goes downward.

[0013] According to the third aspect of the present invention, the inner wall surface of the support is inclined so as to face in a direction away from the other support as it goes downward. Therefore, compared with the case where the inner wall surface of the support is perpendicular to the lower surface of the second top plate, it is possible to widen the space between the supports as it goes downward.

[0014] By widening the space between the supports in this way as it goes downward, it is possible to ensure a wider rotation range of the first top plate accessory with respect to the second top plate accessory in plan view in a state where a part of the first top plate accessory is accommodated below the second top plate. Note that the lower the height of the first top plate with respect to the second top plate, the wider the rotation range of the first top plate accessory with respect to the second top plate accessory in plan view. According to such a third aspect of the present invention, it is possible to widen the rotation range of the first top plate accessory with respect to the second top plate accessory in plan view and further improve the degree of freedom in the layout of the top plate accessory.

[0015] A fourth aspect of the present invention, in the second or third aspect described above, includes a connecting member that connects the supports to each other, and each of the pair of supports has a connecting portion connected to the connecting member, and extends in the first direction so as to be separated from the other support from the connecting portion, and is arranged in a horizontal second direction orthogonal to the first direction, and a pair of upper arms that are separated from each other in the second direction as they are separated from the connecting portion along the first direction, and support legs extending downward from the lower portions of the respective upper arms.

[0016] According to the fourth aspect of the present invention, the distance between the pair of upper arms increases as the distance from the connecting portion to which the connecting member is connected increases. That is, the pair of upper arms are extended so as to spread as they are separated from the connecting portion. Therefore, a wide space is ensured between the support legs extending downward from the lower portions of these respective upper arms, and thereby the load received from the second top plate can be stably received. In addition, it becomes possible to widen the space between the upper arms, and it becomes possible to widen the lower limb space for the operator near the end of the second top plate.

[0017] Further, according to the fourth aspect of the present invention, as described above, the load received from the second top plate can be stably received by the support legs, and the second top plate can be stably supported. Therefore, the connecting portion to which the connecting member is connected can be arranged closer to the central position in the separation direction between the support legs of the second top plate. Furthermore, the connecting member that connects the two supports to each other can be arranged closer to the central position in the separation direction between the support legs of the second top plate. That is, according to the fourth aspect of the present invention, it becomes possible to arrange the connecting member away from the outer edge of the second top plate. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the connecting member from giving a sense of pressure to the operator working near the outer edge of the second top plate.

[0018] The fifth aspect of the present invention, in the fourth or fifth aspect described above, is configured such that the support leg portions connected to one of the upper arms and the support leg portions connected to the other upper arm extend downward from the upper arm and are inclined as a whole so as to approach each other as they extend downward.

[0019] According to the fifth aspect of the present invention, since the support leg portions approach each other as they extend downward, the support body has a shape that narrows downward. Therefore, it is possible to widen the space below the second top plate on the outside of the support leg portions as compared with the case where the support leg portions extend vertically downward without inclination.

[0020] By widening the space below the second top plate on the outside of the support leg portions in this way, it is possible to widely secure the rotation range of the first top plate accessory with respect to the second top plate accessory in the plan view of the first top plate accessory with a part of the first top plate accessory accommodated below the second top plate. Note that the lower the height of the first top plate with respect to the second top plate, the wider the rotation range of the first top plate accessory with respect to the second top plate accessory in the plan view. According to the fifth aspect of the present invention as described above, it is possible to widen the rotation range of the first top plate accessory with respect to the second top plate accessory in the plan view and further improve the degree of freedom in the layout of the top plate accessory.

[0021] The sixth aspect of the present invention, in the fourth or fifth aspect described above, is configured such that the support body includes a grounding portion that connects the lower end portions of the support leg portions and can be grounded to the floor surface.

[0022] According to the sixth aspect of the present invention, the lower end portions of the support leg portions are connected by the grounding portion. Therefore, the rigidity of the support body can be improved. Accordingly, it is possible to support the second top plate more stably.

[0023] The seventh aspect of the present invention, in any one of the fourth to sixth aspects described above, is configured such that the support leg portion is formed in a plate shape having the first direction as the width direction.

[0024] According to the seventh aspect of the present invention, since the support legs are formed in a plate shape, compared with rod-shaped support legs, the cross-sectional area of the support legs increases, and it becomes possible to disperse and receive the load received from the second top plate. For this reason, it becomes possible to reduce the load on the support legs. Furthermore, it becomes possible to form a wide space between the support legs with the width direction of the support legs as the depth direction. For this reason, it becomes possible to use the space between the support legs as an accommodation space.

[0025] In the eighth aspect of the present invention, in any one of the fourth to seventh aspects described above, the support body adopts a configuration including a cover body that closes the space between one support leg and the other support leg and is detachable.

[0026] According to the eighth aspect of the present invention, it becomes possible to block the space between the support legs with the cover body. For this reason, it becomes possible to prevent the opposite side of the support body from being visually recognized by an outsider through the space between the support legs.

[0027] In the ninth aspect of the present invention, in any one of the fourth to eighth aspects described above, the support body adopts a configuration including a support surface portion that is disposed between one upper arm and the other upper arm and supports the second top plate from below.

[0028] According to the ninth aspect of the present invention, it becomes possible to increase the contact area between the support body and the second top plate with the support surface portion, and it becomes possible to widen the area for receiving the load from the second top plate. For this reason, for example, it becomes possible to more stably support the second top plate with the support body than when only the upper arm is in contact with the second top plate.

[0029] In the tenth aspect of the present invention, in any one of the fourth to ninth aspects described above, the connecting member adopts a configuration that is a rod-shaped member that extends linearly from the connecting portion of one support body to the connecting portion of the other support body and supports the second top plate from below.

[0030] According to the tenth aspect of the present invention, a linear rod-shaped member is used as a connecting member for connecting the supports. Therefore, the supports can be connected at the shortest distance, the size of the connecting member can be suppressed, and the forming material can be minimized. Thus, it is possible to prevent the connecting member from interfering with the work of the operator.

[0031] The eleventh aspect of the present invention adopts the configuration in any one of the first to tenth aspects, wherein the outer edge of the first top plate has two straight portions extending in different directions and an arcuate curved portion connecting the straight portions.

[0032] According to the eleventh aspect of the present invention, a corner portion having an arcuate curved portion is provided at the outer edge of the first top plate. Since such a corner portion is not provided with a bent portion in plan view, work can be easily performed from any direction. Therefore, according to the eleventh aspect of the present invention, no matter how the first top plate accessory is rotated with respect to the second top plate accessory in plan view, work at the corner of the first top plate can be easily performed. That is, according to the eleventh aspect of the present invention, the degree of freedom in the layout of the top plate accessory can be further improved.

[0033] The twelfth aspect of the present invention adopts the configuration in any one of the first to eleventh aspects, wherein the lower surface of the second top plate and the upper surface of the first top plate are spaced apart with a space therebetween.

[0034] According to the twelfth aspect of the present invention, a space is formed between the first top plate and the second top plate. Therefore, it is possible to effectively utilize the space between the first top plate and the second top plate as, for example, a storage space.

Effects of the Invention

[0035] In the present invention, there is provided a furniture with a first top plate and a furniture with a second top plate having a second top plate whose lower surface is disposed at a position higher than the upper surface of the first top plate. In a plan view, a part of the first top plate is disposed overlapping the second top plate, and another part of the first top plate is disposed so as to be exposed upward. Therefore, according to the present invention, in a furniture system having a plurality of top plate furniture, it is possible to improve the degree of freedom in the layout of the top plate furniture.

Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0037] Hereinafter, with reference to the drawings, an embodiment of the furniture system according to the present invention will be described.

[0038] (First Embodiment) FIG. 1 is a plan view showing a schematic configuration of the furniture system 100 of the present embodiment. FIG. 2 is a perspective view of one high table 200 and one low table 300 included in the furniture system 100 of the present embodiment. The furniture system 100 of the present embodiment is installed in a work space such as an office, a public facility, and a school, and provides a work surface for workers. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the furniture system 100 of the present embodiment includes a high table 200 (furniture with a second top plate) and a low table 300 (furniture with a first top plate).

[0039] In FIG. 1, a furniture system 100 including two high tables 200 and two low tables 300 is shown. However, the number of installations of the high table 200 and the low table 300 can be arbitrarily set to one or more each. The furniture system 100 of the present embodiment only needs to include at least one high table 200 and one low table 300.

[0040] The high table 200 is a furniture with a top plate provided with a high-position top plate 1 (second top plate) arranged at a position higher than the low-position top plate 50 (first top plate) of the low table 300. For example, a worker uses the high table 200 in a standing state. Therefore, the high-position top plate 1 of the high table 200 is arranged at a height at which it is easy to work, for example, when the worker is standing.

[0041] The rotatable table 300 is a furniture with a low-position top plate 50 disposed at a position lower than the high-position top plate 1 of the high table 200. For example, an operator uses the rotatable table 300 in a seated state. For example, the operator uses the rotatable table 300 while seated on a chair 400 installed on the side of the rotatable table 300. Therefore, the low-position top plate 50 of the rotatable table 300 is disposed at a height at which it is easy for the operator to work while seated, for example.

[0042] In the furniture system 100 of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the high table 200 is disposed so as to straddle a part of the rotatable table 300. That is, a part of the low-position top plate 50 of the rotatable table 300 is in a state of being accommodated below the high-position top plate 1 of the high table 200. Also, another part of the low-position top plate 50 of the rotatable table 300 is at a position separated from the high-position top plate 1 of the high table 200 and is exposed upward. Thus, in the furniture system 100 of the present embodiment, in a plan view, a part of the low-position top plate 50 is disposed overlapping the high-position top plate 1, and another part of the low-position top plate 50 is disposed so as to be exposed upward.

[0043] FIG. 3 is an overall view of the high table 200 included in the furniture system 100 of the present embodiment, where (a) is a side view and (b) is a plan view. Also, FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the high table 200 included in the furniture system 100 of the present embodiment. Also, FIG. 5 is an exploded perspective view of the high table 200 included in the furniture system 100 of the present embodiment. As shown in these figures, the high table 200 includes a high-position top plate 1 and a support unit 2.

[0044] The high-position top plate 1 is supported from below by the support unit 2 and is a top plate whose upper surface can be used as a work surface. In the present embodiment, the lower surface of the high-position top plate 1 is disposed at a position higher than the upper surface of the low-position top plate 50 of the rotatable table 300.

[0045] As shown in FIG. 2, in this embodiment, at the portion where the high-position top plate 1 and the low-position top plate 50 overlap in plan view, the lower surface of the high-position top plate 1 and the upper surface of the low-position top plate 50 are spaced apart with a space therebetween. As a result, an accommodation space S is formed between the high-position top plate 1 and the low-position top plate 50. For example, it is possible to accommodate a briefcase or the like of an operator in this accommodation space S, or to arrange a small cabinet.

[0046] As shown in FIG. 3(b) and the like, the high-position top plate 1 is formed in a substantially rectangular shape in plan view. In the following description, the longitudinal direction of the high-position top plate 1 is defined as the left-right direction (horizontal first direction) of the high table 200, and the short-side direction of the high-position top plate 1 is defined as the front-back direction (horizontal second direction) of the high table 200.

[0047] The outer edge 1a of the high-position top plate 1 has four straight portions 1b. Two of these four straight portions 1b extend along the left-right direction, and the remaining two extend along the front-back direction. Further, the outer edge 1a of the high-position top plate 1 has four arc-shaped curved portions 1c. Each curved portion 1c is curved so as to bulge outward from the high-position top plate 1, and connects two straight portions 1b extending in different directions.

[0048] The high-position top plate 1 has rounded corners 1d having straight portions 1b extending in different directions and arc-shaped curved portions 1c connecting these straight portions 1b. Such corners 1d are provided at each of the four corners of the high-position top plate 1 formed in a rectangular shape. At each corner 1d, the straight portion 1b and the curved portion 1c are smoothly connected without forming a bent portion.

[0049] Since no bent portion is formed at the corner 1d of the high-position top plate 1, when working at a portion including the corner 1d from the side of the high-position top plate 1, the bent portion does not interfere with the work. Therefore, the operator can comfortably work on the upper surface of the high-position top plate 1 from any direction with respect to the corner 1d.

[0050] Further, as shown in FIG. 3(a), the end portions of the high-position top plate 1 in the left-right direction protrude outward beyond a support body 3 (to be described later) of the support unit 2. In the present embodiment, the end portions of the high-position top plate 1 in the left-right direction are provided so as to protrude outward beyond the support body 3 to such an extent that the lower limbs of an operator can be accommodated even when the operator is in a seated position.

[0051] In the present embodiment, for example, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the high-position top plate 1 is formed by being divided into two parts. That is, in the present embodiment, the high-position top plate 1 is formed by combining two divided parts. Note that it is also possible to form the high-position top plate 1 without dividing it.

[0052] The support unit 2 contacts the floor surface to support the high-position top plate 1 from below and transmits the load received from the high-position top plate 1 to the floor surface. As shown in FIG. 3, for example, the support unit 2 includes a pair of two support bodies 3 and a beam member 4 (rod-shaped member).

[0053] The support bodies 3 are spaced apart in the left-right direction (i.e., the horizontal direction) and are connected to each other by the beam member 4. These support bodies 3 are formed in a bilaterally symmetric shape, for example, as shown in FIG. 3(a).

[0054] FIG. 6 is a perspective view showing the overall configuration of the support body 3. FIG. 7 is an exploded perspective view of the support body 3. As shown in these figures, the support body 3 includes a base body portion 10, an upper body portion 20, and a cover body 30. Since the two support bodies 3 have a bilaterally symmetric shape, only one of the support bodies 3 is illustrated and described in FIGS. 6 and 7.

[0055] The base body portion 10 is a rigid member that supports the upper body portion 20 and the cover body 30. The base body portion 10 includes a pair of upper arms 11, a connecting rod 12, an intermediate plate portion 13, support legs 14, and a grounding portion 15.

[0056] FIG. 8 is a plan view of the base portion 10. For example, as shown in FIG. 8, the upper arm 11 is a portion extending in the left - right direction from a connecting rod 12 extending along the front - rear direction. In the present embodiment, two upper arms 11 are provided and arranged in the front - rear direction (a horizontal direction orthogonal to the left - right direction which is the separation direction of the supports). These upper arms 11 extend from the connecting rod 12 in a direction away from a support 3 different from the support 3 on which they are provided (the other support) in the left - right direction. That is, the upper arm 11 provided on the support 3 arranged on the left side extends from the connecting rod 12 toward the left side opposite to the support 3 arranged on the right side. Also, the upper arm 11 provided on the support 3 arranged on the right side extends from the connecting rod 12 toward the right side opposite to the support 3 arranged on the left side.

[0057] One of the two upper arms 11 extends from one end of the connecting rod 12. Also, the other of the two upper arms 11 extends from the other end of the connecting rod 12. These upper arms 11 are separated from each other in the front - rear direction (i.e., the arrangement direction) as they are separated from the connecting rod 12. That is, these upper arms 11 extend so as to spread as they are separated from the connecting rod 12.

[0058] Note that when the upper body 20 is fixed to the base portion 10, a beam member connection portion 21 (described later) of the upper body 20 is connected to the end of each upper arm 11 connected to the connecting rod 12 from the left - right direction. That is, these upper arms 11 extend from the beam member connection portion 21 in a direction away from a support 3 different from the support 3 on which they are provided (the other support) in the left - right direction. Further, the upper arms 11 are separated from each other in the front - rear direction (i.e., the arrangement direction) as they are separated from the beam member connection portion 21.

[0059] The connecting rod 12 is a rod-shaped member that connects one upper arm 11 and the other upper arm 11. This connecting rod 12 is provided so as to extend in the front-rear direction. Note that the connecting rod 12 supports, together with the upper arm 11, a support plate 22 (to be described later) of the upper body 20 from below. The intermediate plate portion 13 is disposed between one upper arm 11 and the other upper arm 11, and is a plate-shaped portion connected to the lower portion of the connecting rod 12. The intermediate plate portion 13 is inclined so as to go upward as it separates from the connecting rod 12. The end of such an intermediate plate portion 13 on the side opposite to the connecting rod 12 is located at the same height as the connecting rod 12, and supports the support plate 22 (to be described later) of the upper body 20 from below together with the connecting rod 12 and the upper arm 11.

[0060] FIG. 9 is a side view of the base portion 10. As shown in this figure, the support leg portion 14 is a portion extending downward from the lower portion of each upper arm 11. As shown in FIG. 9, the amount of protrusion of the support leg portion 14 downward from the upper arm 11 continuously increases as it moves away from the connecting rod 12, and is formed so as to be constant at the maximum amount from the approximate center of the upper arm 11 to the end on the side opposite to the connecting rod 12. That is, as shown in FIG. 9, the support leg portion 14 is formed in a shape that protrudes greatly from the approximate center of the upper arm 11 to the end on the side opposite to the connecting rod 12.

[0061] Further, in the present embodiment, the support leg portion 14 extends downward from the lower portion of the upper arm 11 such that it inclines by separating from a support body 3 (the other support body) different from the support body 3 on which it is provided as it goes downward. That is, the support leg portion 14 provided on the left support body 3 inclines so as to go leftward as it goes downward. Also, the support leg portion 14 provided on the right support body 3 inclines so as to go rightward as it goes downward.

[0062] Such a support leg 14 has an inner wall surface 14a directed toward the other support 3 (the other support body) different from the support 3 provided by itself. This inner wall surface 14a forms the inner wall surface of the support 3 (the surfaces of the pair of supports 3 facing each other). That is, in the present embodiment, the high table 200 includes a pair of supports 3 that are arranged spaced apart in the horizontal direction and support the high-position top plate 1 with the inner wall surfaces 14a facing each other.

[0063] In the present embodiment, the inner wall surface 14a is formed as an inclined surface that moves away from the other support 3 in a direction downward. That is, the inner wall surface 14a provided on the left support 3 is formed as an inclined surface that moves away from the right support 3 in a direction downward, that is, toward the left. Further, the inner wall surface 14a provided on the right support 3 is formed as an inclined surface that moves away from the left support 3 in a direction downward, that is, toward the right.

[0064] By thus making the inner wall surface 14a an inclined surface that moves away from the other support 3 downward, the space between the supports 3 expands in the left-right direction as it goes downward. Therefore, the space between the supports 3 expands as compared with the case where the inner wall surface 14a is a vertical surface.

[0065] FIG. 10 is a schematic diagram showing the movable range of the low-position top plate 50 when the inner wall surface 14a is an inclined surface as described above and when the inner wall surface 14a is a vertical surface. In FIG. 10, the inner wall surface 14a that is an inclined surface is shown by a solid line, and the inner wall surface 14a that is a vertical surface is shown by a virtual line. As shown in this figure, since the inner wall surface 14a is an inclined surface as described above, the space inside the inner wall surface 14a expands at the height position of the low-position top plate 50. Due to this expanded space, the arrangeable range of the low-position top plate 50 (that is, the rotatable table 300) between the supports 3 expands. Therefore, for example, it becomes possible to make the angle of the rotatable table 300 with respect to the high table 200 in a plan view a larger obtuse angle. That is, in the present embodiment, it is possible to widely secure the rotation range of the rotatable table 300 with respect to the high table 200 in a plan view in a state where a part of the rotatable table 300 is accommodated below the high-position top plate 1.

[0066] FIG. 11 is a front view of the base portion 10. In FIG. 11, it is a front view seen from the direction of arrow A in FIG. 9. As shown in this figure, the support leg 14 connected to one upper arm 11 and the support leg 14 connected to the other upper arm 11 are inclined so as to approach each other as they go downward. More specifically, the support leg 14 arranged on the front side is inclined so as to go toward the rear side as it goes downward. Also, the support leg 14 arranged on the rear side is inclined so as to go toward the front side as it goes downward. By inclining each support leg 14 in this way, the two support legs 14 approach each other as they go downward.

[0067] Since the support legs 14 are inclined as described above, the support 3 has a shape that narrows downward. Therefore, compared with the case where the support legs 14 are vertically extended without inclination, the space below the high-position top plate 1 outside the support legs 14 expands. Due to this expanded space, the available range for arranging the low-position top plate 50 (i.e., the rotatable table 300) between the supports 3 is enlarged. Thus, for example, it becomes possible to make the angle of the rotatable table 300 with respect to the high table 200 in plan view a larger obtuse angle. That is, in the present embodiment, it is possible to widely secure the rotation range of the rotatable table 300 with respect to the high table 200 in plan view in a state where a part of the rotatable table 300 is accommodated below the high-position top plate 1.

[0068] Also, for example, as shown in FIG. 9, when the vertical direction is the length direction, the support legs 14 are formed in a plate shape with the direction orthogonal to the vertical direction (the left-right direction in this embodiment) as the width direction. By forming the support legs 14 in a plate shape in this way, compared with rod-shaped support legs, the cross-sectional area of the support legs 14 increases, and it becomes possible to disperse and receive the load received from the high-position top plate.

[0069] In addition, since the support legs 14 are formed in a plate shape as described above, for example, as shown in FIG. 11, it becomes possible to form a wide space with the width direction of the support legs 14 as the depth direction between the support legs 14.

[0070] The grounding part 15 is a part that connects the lower ends of the support legs 14 to each other and can be grounded to the floor surface. In the present embodiment, it is formed in a plate shape with a width dimension corresponding to the plate-shaped support legs 14. By connecting the support legs 14 to each other, this grounding part 15 enhances the rigidity of the support 3.

[0071] Returning to FIG. 7, the upper body 20 constitutes the upper part of the support 3 and is a part connected to the base body part 10 from above. The upper body 20 is fixed to the base body part 10 by screws or the like (not shown). The upper body 20 includes a beam member connection part 21, a support plate 22 (supporting surface part), and a side cover body 23.

[0072] The beam member connection part 21 is a part connected to the beam member 4 that connects the supports 3 to each other, and has one vertical wall part 21a and two attachment parts 21b. The vertical wall part 21a is a wall part whose front and back surfaces face in the left - right direction and extends in the front - back direction, and supports the attachment parts 21b. The vertical wall part 21a has substantially the same length dimension as the connecting rod 12 of the base body part 10 and is abutted against the connecting rod 12 from one direction in the left - right direction. For example, the vertical wall part 21a provided on the left - hand support 3 is abutted against the connecting rod 12 from the right side. Also, the vertical wall part 21a provided on the right - hand support 3 is abutted against the connecting rod 12 from the left side.

[0073] The attachment part 21b is a part where the end of the beam member 4 is fixed. In this embodiment, two beam members 4 are provided. Therefore, two attachment parts 21b are also provided. Each attachment part 21b protrudes from the surface opposite to the surface that abuts against the connecting rod 12 of the vertical wall part 21a. One attachment part 21b protrudes from one end of the vertical wall part 21a in the front - back direction, and the other attachment part 21b protrudes from the other end of the vertical wall part 21a in the front - back direction.

[0074] The support plate 22 is arranged so as to be embedded between one upper arm 11 and the other upper arm 11 in a plan view, and is a part that supports the high - position top plate 1 from below. In this embodiment, the support plate 22 is placed on the two upper arms 11 and is arranged so as to span the two upper arms 11. Such a support plate 22 has its upper surface in surface contact with the lower surface of the high - position top plate 1 and supports the high - position top plate 1 over a wide surface.

[0075] The side cover bodies 23 are connected to respective ends of the support plate 22 in the front-rear direction, and are provided so as to hang downward from the support plate 22. Each side cover body 23 is in contact with the outer wall surface of the support leg 14 and is provided so as to cover the outer wall surface of the support leg 14. Among the two side cover bodies 23, the side cover body 23 arranged on the front side in the front-rear direction covers the support leg 14 arranged on the front side among the two support legs 14 from the front side. Also, among the two side cover bodies 23, the side cover body 23 arranged on the rear side in the front-rear direction covers the support leg 14 arranged on the rear side among the two support legs 14 from the rear side.

[0076] The cover body 30 is a member that closes the space between one support leg 14 and the other support leg 14. In the present embodiment, the cover body 30 is fitted and arranged to be surrounded by the intermediate plate portion 13, the two support legs 14, and the grounding portion 15. The fitted cover body 30 can be removed by applying a force from the space side sandwiched between the two supports 3 toward the outside of the support 3. That is, the cover body 30 is detachable.

[0077] Such a support 3 is connected by two beam members 4 arranged in parallel. These beam members 4 are connecting members that connect the supports 3 to each other. Each beam member 4 extends linearly along the left-right direction from the beam member connection portion 21 of one support 3 to the beam member connection portion 21 of the other support 3, and supports the high-position top plate 1 from below.

[0078] Each beam member 4 is arranged, for example, as shown in FIG. 3, closer to the center in the front-rear direction of the high-position top plate 1. More specifically, the beam member 4 is arranged closer to the center of the high-position top plate 1 than one end and the other end of the support 3 in the front-rear direction. For this reason, in plan view, the beam member 4 is arranged at a large distance from the outer edge 1a of the high-position top plate 1 at a certain distance. That is, in the present embodiment, the beam member 4 is arranged at a position deeply recessed from the outer edge 1a of the high-position top plate 1 as viewed by the operator.

[0079] In addition, the end of each beam member 4 is fixed to the mounting portion 21b of the support 3. That is, for example, as shown in FIG. 3, the beam member 4 is disposed between two supports 3 and does not protrude from between the supports 3 to the outside of the support 3.

[0080] The support unit 2 formed by such two supports and the beam member 4 is formed in a portal shape with the beam member 4 sandwiched between two supports 3. Such a support unit 2 has high strength and can stably support the high-position top plate 1 without the beam member 4 between the two supports 3 protruding to the outside of the support 3.

[0081] Also, as shown in FIG. 2, the rotatable table 300 includes a low-position top plate 50. The rotatable table 300 also includes a support unit 2 similar to the high-position table 200. The support unit 2 provided on the rotatable table 300 has the same configuration as the support unit 2 provided on the high-position table 200, except that the support legs 14 of the support 3 are formed shorter compared to the high-position table 200. Therefore, the description of the support unit 2 included in the rotatable table 300 is omitted.

[0082] The low-position top plate 50 is supported from below by the support unit 2, and the upper surface is a top plate that can be used as a work surface. The low-position top plate 50 is formed in a substantially rectangular shape in plan view. In the following description, the longitudinal direction of the low-position top plate 50 is the left-right direction of the rotatable table 300, and the short-side direction of the low-position top plate 50 is the front-rear direction of the rotatable table 300.

[0083] As shown in FIG. 2, the outer edge 50a of the low-position top plate 50 has four straight portions 50b. Two of these four straight portions 50b extend along the left-right direction, and the remaining two extend along the front-rear direction. The outer edge 50a of the low-position top plate 50 also has four arc-shaped curved portions 50c. Each curved portion 50c is curved so as to bulge toward the outside of the low-position top plate 50 and connects two straight portions 50b extending in different directions.

[0084] The lower-position top plate 50 has rounded corners 50d each having a straight portion 50b extending in different directions and an arc-shaped curved portion 50c connecting these straight portions 50b. Such corners 50d are provided at each of the four corners of the lower-position top plate 50 formed in a rectangular shape. At each corner 50d, the straight portion 50b and the curved portion 50c are smoothly connected without forming a bent portion.

[0085] Since no bent portion is formed at the corner 50d of the lower-position top plate 50, when working on the portion including the corner 50d from the side of the lower-position top plate 50, the bent portion does not interfere with the work. Therefore, no matter from what direction with respect to the corner 50d, the operator can comfortably work on the upper surface of the lower-position top plate 50.

[0086] Also, the ends of the lower-position top plate 50 in the left-right direction are provided to protrude outward beyond a support 3 (to be described later) of the support unit 2. In the present embodiment, the ends of the lower-position top plate 50 in the left-right direction are provided to protrude significantly outward beyond the support 3 to such an extent that the lower limbs of the operator can be accommodated even if the operator is in a seated posture.

[0087] In such a furniture system 100 of the present embodiment, the rotatable table 300 is arranged in a state where a part of it is accommodated below the high-position top plate 1 of the high table 200. At this time, the rotatable table 300 and the high table 200 are not connected. Such a rotatable table 300 can be rotated in plan view in a state where a part of it is accommodated below the high-position top plate 1 within a range where it does not interfere with the support unit 2 of the high table 200. Therefore, the rotatable table 300 can be arranged with its angle with respect to the high table 200 freely adjusted in plan view.

[0088] The furniture system 100 as described above includes a low table 300 and a high table 200. The low table 300 has a low-position top plate 50. The high table 200 has a high-position top plate 1 whose lower surface is disposed at a higher position than the upper surface of the low-position top plate 50. Further, in the furniture system 100 of the present embodiment, in a plan view, a part of the low-position top plate 50 is disposed overlapping the high-position top plate 1, and the other part of the low-position top plate 50 is disposed so as to be exposed upward.

[0089] Such a furniture system 100 of the present embodiment includes a low table 300 having a relatively low-position top plate 50 and a high table 200 having a relatively high-position top plate 1. The lower surface of the high-position top plate 1 is disposed at a higher position than the upper surface of the low-position top plate 50. Therefore, in the furniture system 100 of the present embodiment, it is possible to dispose a part of the low table 300 below the high table 200.

[0090] That is, in the furniture system 100 of the present embodiment, a part of the low table 300 can be accommodated below the high table 200, and the exposed portion of the low-position top plate 50 can be used as a work surface. Thus, according to the furniture system 100 of the present embodiment, it is possible to lay out the low table 300 and the high table 200 in a state where they partially overlap, and the degree of freedom in layout of the furniture with top plates is increased as compared with the case where the furniture with top plates cannot be laid out with a part of them overlapping. Therefore, according to the furniture system 100 of the present embodiment, in the furniture system 100 having a plurality of furniture with top plates, it is possible to improve the degree of freedom in layout of the furniture with top plates.

[0091] Further, in the furniture system 100 of the present embodiment, the high table 200 includes a pair of supports 3 that are spaced apart in the left-right direction to support the high-position top plate 1 and whose inner wall surfaces 14a face each other. Also, the low-position top plate 50 is disposed between one support 3 and the other support 3 of the high table 200.

[0092] According to the furniture system 100 of this embodiment, since the low-position tabletop 50 is disposed between the supports 3 of the high table 200, it is possible to prevent the low-position tabletop 50 from protruding from the end of the high-position tabletop 1 in plan view. Therefore, according to the furniture system 100 of this embodiment, it is possible to prevent the use of the end of the high-position tabletop 1 from being obstructed by the low-position tabletop 50, and it becomes possible to effectively utilize the end of the high-position tabletop 1.

[0093] Further, in the furniture system 100 of this embodiment, the high table 200 includes a pair of supports 3. The pair of supports 3 are spaced apart in the horizontal direction and support the high-position tabletop 1 with their inner wall surfaces 14a facing each other. Further, the support 3 extends downward from the lower surface of the high-position tabletop 1. Further, the inner wall surface 14a of the support 3 is formed as an inclined surface that faces in a direction away from the other support 3 as it goes downward.

[0094] According to the furniture system 100 of this embodiment, the inner wall surface 14a of the support 3 is inclined so as to face in a direction away from the other support 3 as it goes downward. Therefore, it is possible to widen the space between the supports 3 as it goes downward as compared with the case where the inner wall surface 14a of the support 3 is perpendicular to the lower surface of the high-position tabletop 1.

[0095] As the space between the supports 3 widens as it goes downward in this way, it becomes possible to secure a wider rotation range of the low table 300 with respect to the high table 200 in plan view in a state where a part of the low table 300 is accommodated below the high-position tabletop 1. Note that, the lower the height of the low-position tabletop 50 with respect to the high-position tabletop 1, the wider the rotation range of the low table 300 with respect to the high table 200 in plan view becomes. According to the furniture system 100 of this embodiment, it is possible to widen the rotation range of the low table 300 with respect to the high table 200 in plan view and further improve the degree of freedom in the layout of the furniture with a tabletop.

[0096] In addition, in the furniture system 100 of the present embodiment, the support 3 includes a beam member connection portion 21, a pair of upper arms 11, and support legs 14. The beam member connection portion 21 is connected to a beam member 4 that connects the supports 3 to each other. The pair of upper arms 11 extends in a direction away from the other support 3 from the beam member connection portion 21 and is arranged in a horizontal direction orthogonal to the separation direction of the supports 3. Further, the pair of upper arms 11 are separated from each other in the arrangement direction as they are separated from the beam member connection portion 21. The support legs 14 extend downward from the lower portions of the respective upper arms 11.

[0097] According to the furniture system 100 of the present embodiment configured as described above, the distance between the pair of upper arms 11 increases as the distance from the beam member connection portion 21 to which the beam member 4 is connected increases. That is, the pair of upper arms 11 are extended so as to spread as they move away from the beam member connection portion 21. For this reason, a wide space is ensured between the support legs 14 extending downward from the lower portions of these respective upper arms 11, and thereby the load received from the high-position top plate 1 can be stably received. In addition, the space between the upper arms 11 can be widened, and the lower limb space for the operator near the end of the high-position top plate 1 can be widened.

[0098] In addition, according to the furniture system 100 of the present embodiment, as described above, the load received from the high-position top plate 1 can be stably received by the support legs 14, and the high-position top plate 1 can be stably supported. For this reason, the beam member connection portion 21 to which the beam member 4 is connected can be arranged closer to the central position in the separation direction between the support legs 14 of the high-position top plate 1. Further, the beam member 4 that connects the two supports 3 to each other can be arranged closer to the central position in the separation direction between the support legs 14 of the high-position top plate 1. That is, according to the furniture system 100 of the present embodiment, the beam member 4 can be arranged away from the outer edge 1a of the high-position top plate 1. For this reason, it is possible to prevent the beam member 4 from giving a feeling of pressure to the operator working near the outer edge 1a of the high-position top plate 1.

[0099] Also, in the furniture system 100 of the present embodiment, the rotatable table 300 also includes the support unit 2 in the same manner as the high table 200 as described above. Therefore, also in the rotatable table 300, it is possible to arrange a beam member (not shown) away from the outer edge 50a of the low-position top plate 50 in the same manner as the high table 200. For this reason, it is possible to prevent the beam member from giving a sense of pressure to an operator working near the outer edge 50a of the low-position top plate 50.

[0100] In the furniture system 100 of the present embodiment, the support legs 14 connected to one upper arm 11 and the support legs 14 connected to the other upper arm 11 are inclined so as to approach each other as they go downward.

[0101] According to the furniture system 100 of the present embodiment configured as described above, since the support legs 14 approach each other as they go downward, the support body 3 has a shape that narrows downward. For this reason, it is possible to widen the space below the high-position top plate 1 on the outside of the support legs 14 as compared with the case where the support legs 14 extend vertically downward without inclination.

[0102] By widening the space below the high-position top plate 1 on the outside of the support legs 14 in this way, it is possible to widely secure the rotation range of the rotatable table 300 with respect to the high table 200 in a plan view of the rotatable table 300 with a part of the rotatable table 300 accommodated below the high-position top plate 1. Note that the lower the height of the low-position top plate 50 with respect to the high-position top plate 1, the wider the rotation range of the rotatable table 300 with respect to the high table 200 in a plan view. According to the furniture system 100 of the present embodiment configured as described above, it is possible to widen the rotation range of the rotatable table 300 with respect to the high table 200 in a plan view and further improve the degree of freedom in the layout of the furniture with a top plate.

[0103] In the furniture system 100 of the present embodiment, the support 3 includes a grounding portion 15 that connects the lower ends of the support legs 14 to each other and can be grounded to the floor surface. According to such a furniture system 100 of the present embodiment, the lower ends of the support legs 14 are connected by the grounding portion 15. Therefore, the rigidity of the support 3 can be improved. Thus, it becomes possible to support the high-position top plate 1 more stably.

[0104] Also, in the furniture system 100 of the present embodiment, the support legs 14 are formed in a plate shape with the vertical direction as the length direction and the direction orthogonal to the vertical direction as the width direction. According to such a furniture system 100 of the present embodiment, since the support legs 14 are formed in a plate shape, compared with the rod-shaped support legs 14, the cross-sectional area of the support legs 14 increases, and it becomes possible to disperse and receive the load received from the high-position top plate 1. Therefore, it becomes possible to reduce the load on the support legs 14. Furthermore, it becomes possible to form a wide space between the support legs 14 with the width direction of the support legs 14 as the depth direction. Therefore, it becomes possible to use the space between the support legs 14 as an accommodation space.

[0105] Also, in the furniture system 100 of the present embodiment, the support 3 includes a cover body 30 that closes the space between one support leg 14 and the other support leg 14 and is detachable. According to such a furniture system 100 of the present embodiment, it becomes possible to close the space between the support legs 14 by the cover body 30. Therefore, it becomes possible to prevent the opposite side of the support 3 from being visually recognized by an outsider through the space between the support legs 14.

[0106] In addition, in the furniture system 100 of the present embodiment, the support 3 is provided with a support plate 22 that is disposed between one upper arm 11 and the other upper arm 11 and supports the high-position top plate 1 from below. According to such a furniture system 100 of the present embodiment, it is possible to increase the contact area between the support 3 and the high-position top plate 1 by the support plate 22, and it is possible to widen the area for receiving the load from the high-position top plate 1. Therefore, for example, it is possible to more stably support the high-position top plate 1 by the support 3 than when only the upper arm 11 is in contact with the high-position top plate 1.

[0107] In addition, in the furniture system 100 of the present embodiment, the beam member 4 extends linearly from the beam member connection portion 21 of one support 3 to the beam member connection portion 21 of the other support 3 and supports the high-position top plate 1 from below.

[0108] According to such a furniture system 100 of the present embodiment, a linear beam member 4 is used as a connecting member for connecting the supports 3 to each other. Therefore, the supports 3 can be connected to each other at the shortest distance, and it is possible to suppress the size of the connecting member and minimize the forming material. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the connecting member from interfering with the work of the operator.

[0109] In addition, in the furniture system 100 of the present embodiment, the outer edge 50a of the low-position top plate 50 has two linear portions 50b extending in different directions and an arc-shaped curved portion 50c connecting the linear portions 50b to each other. According to such a furniture system 100 of the present embodiment, a corner portion 50d having an arc-shaped curved portion 50c is provided at the outer edge 50a of the low-position top plate 50.

[0110] Since such a corner portion 50d is not provided with a bent portion in a plan view, work can be easily performed from any direction. Therefore, according to the furniture system 100 of the present embodiment, no matter how the rotatable table 300 is rotated with respect to the high table 200 in a plan view, work at the corner portion 50d of the low-position top plate 50 can be easily performed. That is, according to the furniture system 100 of the present embodiment, it is possible to further improve the degree of freedom in the layout of the furniture with a top plate.

[0111] Further, in the furniture system 100 of the present embodiment, the outer edge 1a of the high-position top plate 1 has two straight portions 1b extending in different directions and an arc-shaped curved portion 1c connecting the straight portions 1b. According to such a furniture system 100 of the present embodiment, a corner portion 1d having an arc-shaped curved portion 1c is provided at the outer edge 1a of the high-position top plate 1.

[0112] Since such a corner portion 1d is not provided with a bent portion in a plan view, work can be easily performed from any direction. Therefore, according to the furniture system 100 of the present embodiment, no matter how the rotatable table 300 is rotated with respect to the high table 200 in a plan view, work at the corner portion 1d of the high-position top plate 1 can be easily performed. That is, according to the furniture system 100 of the present embodiment, it is possible to further improve the degree of freedom in the layout of the furniture with a top plate.

[0113] Further, in the furniture system 100 of the present embodiment, the lower surface of the high-position top plate 1 and the upper surface of the low-position top plate 50 are spaced apart with a space therebetween. According to such a furniture system 100 of the present embodiment, a space is formed between the low-position top plate 50 and the high-position top plate 1. Therefore, it is possible to effectively use the space between the low-position top plate 50 and the high-position top plate 1 as, for example, a storage space S.

[0114] (Second Embodiment) Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. In the description of the present embodiment, the description of the same parts as those in the first embodiment above will be omitted or simplified.

[0115] FIG. 12 is a side view of the high table 201 included in the furniture system of the present embodiment. FIG. 13 is an exploded perspective view of the high table 201 included in the furniture system of the present embodiment. As shown in these figures, in the present embodiment, the high table 201 includes an intermediate support 5 in the support unit 2.

[0116] In the present embodiment, the high-position top plate 1 is formed with a larger dimension in the left-right direction than the high-position top plate 1 of the first embodiment. For this reason, the high-position top plate 1 is formed so as to be dividable into three in the left-right direction.

[0117] The intermediate support 5 is a support that supports the middle part of the high-position top plate 1 that can be divided into three from below. The intermediate support 5 is disposed at an intermediate portion of the beam member 4 that connects one support 3 and the other support 3, and is connected to the beam member 4. That is, in the present embodiment, each beam member 4 is divided into two parts, and the intermediate support 5 is disposed so as to be sandwiched between these parts.

[0118] The intermediate support 5 has an intermediate beam member connection portion 51 and intermediate support legs 52. The intermediate beam member connection portion 51 supports the high-position top plate 1 from below and has attachment portions 51a provided so as to project two each on the left side and the right side. These attachment portions 51a are portions where the beam member 4 is directly fixed.

[0119] The intermediate support legs 52 are provided so as to extend downward from the intermediate beam member connection portion 51, and the lower ends are legs that come into contact with the floor surface. The intermediate support legs 52 have intermediate wall surfaces 52a directed toward each support 3. That is, the intermediate support legs 52 have an intermediate wall surface 52a directed toward one support 3 and an intermediate wall surface 52a directed toward the other support 3.

[0120] These intermediate wall surfaces 52a are formed on inclined surfaces that face away from the opposing support 3 in a direction of separation as they go downward. That is, the intermediate wall surface 52a facing the support 3 on the left side is formed on an inclined surface that faces the right side, which is a direction of separation from the support 3 on the left side as it goes downward. Also, the intermediate wall surface 52a facing the support 3 on the right side is formed on an inclined surface that faces the left side, which is a direction of separation from the support 3 on the right side as it goes downward.

[0121] By making the intermediate wall surface 52a an inclined surface facing away from the opposing support 3 in this way, the space between the support 3 and the intermediate support 5 expands in the left - right direction as it goes downward. For this reason, the space between the support 3 and the intermediate support 5 expands compared to the case where the intermediate wall surface 52a is a vertical surface.

[0122] In such a furniture system of the present embodiment, as the space between the support 3 and the intermediate support 5 expands downward, it becomes possible to secure a wider rotation range of the rotatable table 300 with respect to the high - table 200 in a plan view of the rotatable table 300 in a state where a part of the rotatable table 300 is accommodated below the high - position top plate 1. Note that, the lower the height of the low - position top plate 50 with respect to the high - position top plate 1, the wider the rotation range of the rotatable table 300 with respect to the high - table 200 in a plan view becomes. According to such a furniture system 100 of the present embodiment, it becomes possible to widen the rotation range of the rotatable table 300 with respect to the high - table 200 in a plan view and further improve the degree of freedom in the layout of the furniture with a top plate.

[0123] As described above, the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Needless to say, the present invention is not limited to the above - described embodiments. The various shapes, combinations, etc. of the respective constituent members shown in the above - described embodiments are merely examples, and various modifications can be made based on design requirements and the like without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

[0124] For example, in the above embodiment, a configuration in which a part of the rotatable table 300 is accommodated between one support 3 and the other support 3 of the high table 200 has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, it is also possible to adopt a configuration in which the rotatable table 300 is accommodated below the high-position top plate 1 outside the support 3 of the high table 200.

[0125] Further, in the above embodiment, a configuration in which the surface on the side opposite to the inner wall surface 14a of the support 3 is also inclined in the same manner as the inner wall surface 14a has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the surface on the side opposite to the inner wall surface 14a of the support 3 can be a vertical surface.

[0126] Further, in the above embodiment, a configuration in which two beam members 4 are provided has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, it is also possible to adopt a configuration in which there is one or three or more beam members 4. Also, instead of the linear beam member 4, it is possible to adopt a configuration in which the supports 3 are connected by connecting members of different shapes.

[0127] Also, for example, it is also possible to adopt a configuration including components installed in the accommodation space S between the high-position top plate 1 and the low-position top plate 50. For example, it is also possible to adopt a configuration in which a power strip is installed in the accommodation space S.
