[0007] A first embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. As shown in Fig. 1, a wall-mounted stand 1 of the first embodiment is supported by being suspended from a wall surface 200 in a room. The wall-mounted stand 1 is used, for example, as a desk or shelf, and has a plate body 10, a suspension part 2, and a positioning and fixing part 3, and is configured so that the position of the plate body 10 can be changed.

[0008] The plate body 10 has a main body portion 11, an upright surface portion 12, a curved surface portion 13, and a light 5. In this specification, the direction extending approximately horizontally when viewed from the front of the wall-mounted stand 1 is referred to as the width direction, and the direction extending from the wall surface 200 side toward the room interior is referred to as the depth direction. In the depth direction, the wall surface 200 side is referred to as the back side, and the room interior side is referred to as the front side.

[0009] As shown in Fig. 2, the main body 11 is a substantially rectangular plate material that has the largest area among the parts of the plate body 10. In Fig. 2, the hanging part 2 is omitted. The main body 11 is disposed such that its longitudinal direction coincides with the width direction of the plate body 10. One end of the main body 11 in the lateral direction is located on the far side and is disposed along the wall surface 200.

[0010] The standing surface portion 12 is a substantially rectangular plate material that stands substantially perpendicular to the main body portion 11. The longitudinal dimension of the standing surface portion 12 is the same as that of the main body portion 11, but the lateral dimension is shorter than that of the main body portion 11. As shown in FIG. 3, the standing surface portion 12 stands from one side in the depth direction of the main body portion 11, i.e., the end side on the far side. More specifically, the standing surface portion 12 is located at a position slightly shifted forward from the end side on the far side of the main body portion 11. The longitudinal direction of the standing surface portion 12 extends in the width direction of the plate body 10.

[0011] The curved surface portion 13 is a substantially rectangular plate material that is curved from the tip 12a of the standing surface portion 12 and extends substantially parallel to the main body portion 11. The longitudinal dimension of the curved surface portion 13 is the same as that of the main body portion 11, and the lateral dimension is shorter than that of the standing surface portion 12. The position of the curved surface tip 13a on the side of the curved surface portion 13 that is not connected to the standing surface portion 12 matches the position of the rear end of the main body portion 11, and the curved surface tip 13a of the curved surface portion 13 and the rear end of the main body portion 11 are located on an imaginary straight line that extends from the rear end of the main body portion 11 in a direction substantially perpendicular to the surface of the main body portion 11.

[0012] The lighting 5 is provided on the rear side of the plate body 10. The lighting 5 may be, for example, an LED bulb. The lighting 5 has an elongated shape with multiple LED bulbs arranged on a tape-like base, and is arranged along the rear edge of the main body 11. An electric wire (not shown) is connected to the LED bulb, and the LED bulb is turned on when connected to an electric wire 422 of the electric suspension rail 4 described below.

[0013] The hanging part 2 is a member that hangs the plate body 10 from the wall surface 200, and has a wire 21 and a hanging tool 22. The wire 21 is made by bundling and twisting multiple thin metal threads together. A ring-shaped metal fitting 23 is connected to the end of the wire 21. The metal fitting 23 is hooked onto a hanging part 221, which will be described later. The hanging tool 22 is a component that hangs the wire 21 and is attached to the wall surface 200, and has the hanging part 221 and an engaging part 222. The hanging part 221 is a hook-shaped part that hooks onto the metal fitting 23, which is connected to the tip of the wire 21. The engaging part 222 engages with a groove part 411 of the energized hanging rail 4, which will be described later. The engaging portion 222 has a head portion that fits into the groove portion 411 of the energized suspension rail 4, and engages with the engaging protrusion 411c of the groove portion 411 so that the head portion does not come out of the groove portion 411, and moves inside the groove portion 411. The suspender 22 suspends and supports the plate body 10 via the wire 21.

[0014] The positioning and fixing parts 3 are multiple parts provided at different positions in the depth direction of the plate body 10, i.e., on the rear side and the front side. The positioning and fixing parts 3 are provided on both sides in the width direction of the plate body 10, for a total of four locations. More specifically, the positioning and fixing parts 3 are provided at two locations, one end and the other end, in the left-right direction, on the short-side edge on the front side of the main body part 11. The positioning and fixing parts 3 are also provided above the tip end 12a of the standing surface part 12 provided on the rear side of the main body part 11, i.e., on the base end side of the bending surface part 13 where the bending surface part 13 is connected to the standing surface part 12, at two locations, one end and the other end in the left-right direction. The positioning and fixing parts 3 include a fixing member 31 and an adjustment member 32.

[0015] The fixing member 31 is a cylindrical metal fitting that protrudes outward from both ends of the plate body 10 in the width direction. The fixing member 31 has a fixing member main body 311, a rotating portion 312, and a fixing member through-hole 313. The fixing member main body 311 is a substantially cylindrical case and is fixed to the plate body 10 with screws. The rotating portion 312 is disposed on the protruding end side of the fixing member main body 311. The rotating portion 312 is attached to the fixing member main body 311 so as to be rotatable. The fixing member through-hole 313 is formed in the rotating portion 312, and passes through the rotating portion 312 so that the wire 21 can be inserted in the vertical direction when the fixing member 31 is attached to the plate body 10. When the rotating portion 312 rotates, the angle of the wire 21 inserted inside the rotating portion 312 with respect to the plate body 10 changes.

[0016] The adjustment member 32 is attached to the fixing member 31 so that one end is inserted into the fixing member through hole 313 and the other end protrudes from the fixing member through hole 313. The adjustment member 32 has an adjustment member through hole 321, through which the wire 21 is inserted. A fixing means (not shown) for fixing the wire 21 is disposed within the adjustment member through hole 321. The fixing means may be, for example, a spring that biases the wire 21 to a fixed state. Furthermore, a release means (not shown) for releasing the wire 21 is disposed at a portion of the adjustment member 32 that protrudes from the fixing member through hole 313. The adjustment member 32 is configured so that the biasing force of the fixing means is released by operating the release means, allowing the wire 21 to move inside.

[0017] By operating the adjustment member 32, the position of the wire 21 held in the adjustment member through-hole 321 is changed. This allows the length of the wire 21 from the suspender 22 to be adjusted, and the position of the plate body 10 can be determined relative to the wire 21.

[0018] FIG. 3 shows the state in which plate 10 is in use, with the surface of plate 10 approximately horizontal. When wire 21 connected from sling 22 to the front end of main body 11 is extended, the front end of main body 11 tilts forward. In this state, plate 10 can be used as a desk. In use, upright surface 12 rises upward from the rear end of main body 11. Bent surface 13 bends from tip 12a of upright surface 12 toward the rear. Bent surface tip 13a of bent surface 13 abuts against wall surface 200. In use, bent surface tip 13a and the rear end of main body 11 abut against wall surface 200 at two points, so that plate 10 is stably maintained in its position in use. Furthermore, by arranging the positioning fixing portions 3 at two locations on the front side of the main body portion 11 and at two locations above the standing surface portion 12 on the base end side of the curved surface portion 13, it becomes easier to hold the main body portion 11 stably in an approximately horizontal direction.

[0019] FIG. 4 shows the storage state in which the back surface of plate body 10 is positioned along wall surface 200. When the length of wire 21 connected from suspender 22 to the rear end of main body 11 is shortened, the front end of main body 11 tilts further forward, and the back surface of main body 11 abuts against wall surface 200. In the storage state, standing surface 12 extends from the rear side to the front side, forming a shelf board. Bent surface 13 bends and extends upward from tip 12a of standing surface 12. In this way, by adjusting the length of wire 21 from suspender 22 using the multiple positioning and fixing parts 3, it is possible to switch between the usage state and the storage state.

[0020] Next, we will explain the energized suspension rail 4. As shown in Fig. 1, the energized suspension rail 4 is placed like a nageshi on a wall surface 200 inside a room and used. As shown in Fig. 5, the energized suspension rail 4 has an electric wire 422 arranged thereon, and includes a rail main body 41 and a rail outlet 42.

[0021] Rail main body 41 is a long member that is installed on the upper part of wall surface 200 and extends in a substantially horizontal direction. Rail main body 41 has a back surface 41b that abuts against wall surface 200 and a front surface 41a that faces the interior of the room. Rail main body 41 has a base portion 410, a groove portion 411, and a hook portion 412. Groove portion 411 is a portion that engages with engagement portion 222 of suspender 22 that suspends an article such as wall-mounted stand 1.

[0022] The base portion 410 is a rectangular member in a front view extending along the extension direction, and is made of, for example, resin. The groove portion 411 is a recess into which the engagement portion 222 engages so as to be movable along the extension direction of the rail main body 41. The groove portion 411 is disposed on the lower surface 41c of the rail main body 41 and recessed upward. The groove portion 411 is formed by disposing a rail-shaped component made of a material with higher rigidity than the base portion 410, such as metal. The groove portion 411 has a bottom surface 411a, a pair of side wall portions 411b, and an engagement protrusion 411c. The bottom surface 411a is located at the top when attached and is a surface that extends along the rail main body 41. The pair of side wall portions 411b extend downward from both ends of the bottom surface 411a. The engagement protrusions 411c protrude from the lower ends of the pair of side wall portions 411b in directions toward each other. The engaging protrusion 411c protrudes so as to partially block the groove 411.

[0023] The hook portion 412 is disposed on the upper surface 41d of the rail main body 41. The hook portion 412 is formed by recessing the wall surface 200 side between the wall surface 200 and the surface 41a of the rail main body 41 downward, and by the upper end of the surface 41a side protruding upward. This makes it possible to hang items such as hook-shaped metal fittings or hangers.

[0024] The rail outlet 42 is provided in the vertical center of the surface 41a of the rail body 41 and extends along the extension direction of the rail body 41. The rail outlet 42 is configured by arranging a metal electric wire 422 on a long base material 421. The base material 421 is capable of accommodating the electric wire 422 therein and is formed with an opening that allows access to the electric wire 422 from the outside. The rail outlet 42 supplies power to a product connected to a separate plug (not shown) by inserting the plug. The rail outlet 42 itself is connected to a power supply unit 43 (not shown) in the room and receives power from the power supply unit in the room. Because the engagement portion 222 of the hanger 22 engages with the groove portion 411 of the energized hanger rail 4, the wall-mounted stand 1 can be moved to a desired position on the wall surface 200 for use and can receive power at the desired position.

[0025] The method of installing the energized suspension rail 4 will now be described. First, the base portion 410 is fixed to the wall surface 200 with screws or the like. At this time, the rail outlet 42 has not yet been placed on the base portion 410. A recess 414 in which the rail outlet 42 is to be placed is exposed in the center of the base portion 410 in the vertical direction. A screw is placed in this recess 414. Next, the rail outlet 42 is placed so that it fits into the recess 414. This causes the screws to be concealed by the rail outlet 42.

[0026] According to this embodiment, the following effects are achieved: A wall-mounted platform 1 is suspended from a wall surface 200 inside a room. The wall-mounted platform 1 is configured to include a hanging unit 2 having a plate body 10, a wire 21, and a hanger 22 attached to the wall surface 200 and suspending and supporting the plate body 10 via the wire 21 or a string, and a plurality of positioning and fixing units 3 provided at different positions in the depth direction of the plate body 10, which are capable of adjusting the length of the wire 21 from the hanger 22 and of positioning and fixing the plate body 10 relative to the wire 21. The plate body 10 is configured to include an upright surface portion 12 that stands up from one end of the plate body 10 in the depth direction and extends in the width direction of the plate body, and by adjusting the length of the wire 21 from the hanging fixture 22 using multiple positioning and fixing portions 3, the plate body 10 can be switched between a usage state in which the front surface is approximately horizontal and a storage state in which the back surface of the plate body 10 is arranged along the wall surface 200, and the upright surface portion 12 forms a shelf board when the plate body 10 is in the storage state. Since the orientation of the plate body 10 can be switched between the usage state and the storage state and the upright surface portion 12 forms a shelf board in the storage state, it is possible to place items on the upright surface portion 12 even in the storage state. For example, it can be used to place items that are used in the usage state or as a display shelf.

[0027] According to this embodiment, the standing surface portion 12 is configured to include a bent surface portion 13 that bends and extends upward from the tip end 12a in the stored state. Since the bent surface portion 13 extends upward from the tip end of the standing surface portion 12 in the stored state, it is possible to prevent an item placed on the standing surface portion 12 in the stored state from falling. In addition, an item can be hung on the bent surface portion 13 when in use.

[0028] According to this embodiment, the hoisting device 22 is movably engaged with the energized suspension rail 4 that is provided on the wall surface 200 and extends in a substantially horizontal direction. Because the hoisting device 22 is movably engaged with the groove 411 of the energized suspension rail 4, when the wall-mounted table 1 is used as, for example, a desk, it can be moved to a position where it will be used. It can also be put away to a position where it will not get in the way when in the storage state. Furthermore, by hanging the wall-mounted table 1 on the energized suspension rail 4, it becomes possible to easily install a wall-mounted table that would normally require construction work such as drilling holes in the wall surface 200.

[0029] According to this embodiment, the rail portion is configured by an energized suspension rail 4 on which an electric wire 422 is arranged. This makes it possible to easily supply power to the lighting 5 provided on the wall-mounted stand 1 and to electrical appliances used on the wall-mounted stand 1.

[0030] According to this embodiment, the plate body 10 is configured to include the lighting 5. By including the lighting 5 in the plate body 10, it is possible to illuminate the area at hand when the plate body 10 is used as a desk, or to illuminate the wall surface 200 when the plate body 10 is stored.

[0031] The present disclosure is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and modifications, improvements, etc., within the scope of achieving the object of the present disclosure, are included in the present disclosure. Figures 6 to 8 show a wall-mounted stand 1A in a second embodiment, in which the plate body 10 is smaller than that in the first embodiment and can be used as a display shelf. In the second embodiment, the positions of the standing surface portion 12A and the curved surface portion 13A are different from those in the first embodiment. The configurations of the hanging portion 2 and the positioning and fixing portion 3 are the same as in the first embodiment. In the second embodiment, the positioning and fixing portion 3 are located on the rear and front sides of the edges extending in the short direction of the main body portion 11A.

[0032] 6 and 7, the standing surface portion 12A and the bent surface portion 13A are arranged along the front edge of the main body portion 11 that faces the room when in use. When in use, the bent surface portion 13A extends from the tip end 12a of the standing surface portion 12A that rises from the front end toward the back side. In the second embodiment, the standing surface portion 12A and the bent surface portion 13A can prevent items placed on the front side from falling when in use.

[0033] 8, in the stored state, the upright surface portion 12A forms a shelf board, and the bent surface portion 13A extends upward from the front end of the upright surface portion 12A. In the second embodiment, it is possible to prevent items from falling in both the used state and the stored state.

[0034] 9, the hook portion 412B of the energized suspension rail 4B may be configured by disposing a rail member 413 that is roughly U-shaped and has an open top on the top of the rail main body 41. If the rail member 413 is made of, for example, metal, the durability of the hook portion 412B can be increased even if the base portion 410 is made of, for example, resin.

[0035] As shown in FIG. 10, the energized suspension rail 4C may be configured as a single member with the base 410C, with the hook portion 412C and groove portion 411C formed in a generally U-shape with one side open. The material from which the rail main body 41C is configured is not particularly limited. By aligning the indoor-side surfaces of the groove portion 411C and hook portion 412C with the indoor-side surface of the rail outlet 42, the overall thickness of the energized suspension rail 4C can be reduced. Therefore, compared to the energized suspension rails 4 and 4B illustrated in FIGS. 5 and 9, the energized suspension rail 4C can be configured to be more compact and less noticeable.

[0036] The longitudinal and lateral dimensions of the plate body 10 and the standing surface portion 12 are not particularly limited. The configuration of the hanging portion and the positioning and fixing portion may be other configurations as long as they are capable of suspending the plate body and adjusting the position of the plate body. In the above embodiment, a metal wire 21 is used as an example, but a string such as a rope may also be used as long as it is capable of suspending the plate body 10. The wire 21 does not have to be made of twisted thin wire, but may be a single metal wire. The position of the light 5 on the plate body 10 is not particularly limited. If the plate body 10 has a hollow box-like shape, an LED bulb may be placed inside.

[0037] The energized suspension rail 4 has been described as an example of one used like a nageshi (rail support). However, the dimensions and shape of the energized suspension rail 4 are not particularly limited. It is also possible to arrange an energized suspension rail that can be used like a shelf by increasing the dimensions in the vertical or depth direction. Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the energized suspension rail 4 has been described as extending in a substantially horizontal direction, but the rail body may be arranged to extend in a substantially vertical direction, and a mechanism to prevent the suspension device from falling may be provided. The groove may be arranged on the upper surface of the rail body. The groove may be arranged on both the upper and lower surfaces of the rail body. [Explanation of symbols]
