Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a furniture unit that combines a chair and a furniture unit with a tabletop. [Background technology]

[0002] There is known a furniture unit that combines a chair and a tabletop-equipped furniture. An example of a furniture unit is a combination of a movable chair and a table, as described in Patent Document 1. In this example, the legs of the tabletop-equipped furniture are oriented vertically and do not interfere with the chair. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 54-022980 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] However, in the technology described in Patent Document 1, the legs of the tabletop-equipped furniture are oriented vertically and do not interfere with the chair. Therefore, if the tabletop is made larger, the horizontal distance from the ground contact point increases, posing a problem that the strength of the tabletop's outer edge cannot be guaranteed against loads from above. While it is possible to place the tabletop-equipped furniture close to the chair, even in this case, there is a problem that the chair, which is a box-shaped body, will interfere with the legs of the tabletop-equipped furniture.

[0005] The present invention was made in consideration of the above circumstances, and aims to achieve the purpose of providing a furniture unit that can realize a larger tabletop by preventing interference between the legs of a chair and a furniture unit with a tabletop when they are placed side by side. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] (1) A fixture unit according to one aspect of the present invention comprises: a chair including a seating portion and a plurality of seat support portions spaced apart from one another to support the seating portion; A tabletop-equipped furniture unit including a tabletop and a tabletop support portion that supports the tabletop; Equipped with The tabletop support portion has a lower portion disposed closer to the chair than an upper portion, At least the lower portion of the tabletop support portion is disposed below the seating portion of the chair and on a line along the contour of the seating portion between the plurality of seat support portions. This solved the above problem. (2) The present invention is a fixture unit according to (1) above, The chair has legs that come into contact with the floor surface as the seat support parts. It is possible. (3) The present invention is a fixture unit according to (1) or (2) above, The chair has a curved portion in which the contour shape of the seating portion is curved in a plan view, and the curved portion is recessed more inwardly in the contour shape at a central position than at both end positions, The lower part of the tabletop support part is disposed below the curved part. It is possible. (4) The present invention is a fixture unit according to (3) above, The chair has an outer curved portion in which the contour shape of the seating portion is curved in a plan view, and the outer curved portion protrudes more toward the outside of the contour shape at a central position than at both end positions, An outer leg portion is provided below the outer curved portion and is in contact with the floor surface. It is possible. (5) The present invention is a fixture unit according to any one of (1) to (4) above, The tabletop-equipped furniture includes a tabletop support portion that is inclined from below the tabletop toward the lower portion. It is possible.

[0007] According to the furniture unit described in (1), the floor-mounted furniture unit's ground contact area is inside the chair, passing through the seat support parts of the chair. This allows the furniture unit to be supported on the floor surface that is inside the contour of the seating area in a plan view. This allows for stable support of the furniture unit on the floor even when the contour of the tabletop and the contour of the seating area are adjacent in a plan view. In other words, the floor-mounted furniture unit's contact area can be located in a horizontally expanded area. This allows for a larger overhang from the contact area of ​​the tabletop's outer periphery. This in turn allows for larger tabletops.

[0008] According to the furniture unit described in (2), the lower end of the tabletop support is located at the lower end of the side edge of the seat support between the legs of the seat support. This allows the legs to be provided at predetermined positions below the contour of the seat support in a plan view, following the contour of the seat support, allowing a chair to be placed stably. Therefore, when a chair and a tabletop-equipped furniture are placed adjacent to each other, the lower part of the tabletop support of the tabletop-equipped furniture can be inserted between the legs of the chair, allowing the chair and the tabletop-equipped furniture to be placed closer together and stabilizing support by the legs of the tabletop-equipped furniture.

[0009] According to the furniture unit described in (3), the curved portion is a recessed portion of the seating area in a plan view, and by locating the vicinity of the ground contact portion of the tabletop-equipped furniture in this vicinity, it is possible to bring the chair and the tabletop-equipped furniture closer together and improve the degree of freedom in the layout of the furniture unit. Because the curved portion is a portion where people are not expected to sit, there is little problem of the table legs interfering with people's feet even if they are placed there.

[0010] According to the furniture unit described in (4), the seat protrudes outward from the curved outer part, which may cause the chair to tilt in this direction, but the outer legs can stably support the chair, maintaining its stability. This allows the tabletop to be made larger.

[0011] According to the furniture unit described in (5), by tilting the support part outward relative to the tabletop contour, the lower part of the tabletop support part can be inserted under the seat, which increases the amount of overhang from the ground-contacting part of the outer edge of the tabletop. [Effects of the Invention]

[0012] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a furniture unit that can realize a larger tabletop by preventing interference between the legs. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0013] [Figure 1] 1 is a perspective view showing a first embodiment of a furniture unit according to the present invention. [Figure 2] 1 is a plan view showing a first embodiment of a furniture unit according to the present invention. [Figure 3] 1 is an enlarged plan view showing the relationship between a curved portion and a support portion in a first embodiment of a furniture unit according to the present invention. FIG. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0014] Hereinafter, a first embodiment of a furniture unit according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a furniture unit in this embodiment, and FIG. 2 is a plan view showing the furniture unit in this embodiment, in which reference numeral 100 denotes the furniture unit.

[0015] As shown in FIG. 1, the furniture unit 100 according to this embodiment includes a corner bench (chair) 10 and a table (furniture with a tabletop) 70. As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the corner bench (chair) 10 has a seat plate (seating portion) 12 that forms a seating surface 11, and legs (seat support portions) 13 that are placed on the floor surface and support the seat plate 12.

[0016] The seat panel 12 is made of a plate of uniform thickness and has an outline shape that is L-shaped with curved corners when viewed from above. That is, the seat panel 12 has both end portions 12a formed in straight lines that are approximately perpendicular to each other, and has an outline shape that is made up of straight line portions 12b and 12e that are perpendicular to both end portions 12a, and an outer curved portion 12c and an inner curved portion (curved portion) 12d that are arc-shaped and formed equidistant from the end portions 12a.

[0017] The seat panel 12 is constructed from one plate on each side along the center line of the L shape, with an L-shaped gap formed between these plates. Note that the seat panel 12 can be constructed from a single plate, three or more plates, or can have a gap parallel to the end 12a, or a gap that intersects with the straight portions 12b, 12e or the outer curved portion 12c.

[0018] Both end portions 12a are formed to have the same length. At the corner positions of the end portion 12a, the seat panel 12 has straight portions 12b and 12e continuing to both ends of the end portion 12a. The distance between the straight portions 12b and 12e is formed to be equal to the length of the end portion 12a. These straight portions 12b and 12e are formed parallel to each other. The straight portions 12b from both end portions 12a to the outer curved portions 12c are formed to be equal in length. The straight portions 12e from both end portions 12a to the inner curved portions 12d are formed to be equal in length.

[0019] The leg portion 13 is composed of four legs 13a arranged corresponding to the corners located at both ends 12a of the L-shaped contour shape, and one outer leg portion (leg portion) 13b arranged at the center position of the arc-shaped outer curved portion 12c. Leg 13a is made up of a single rod-shaped member bent at two points in the same direction, and the portion sandwiched at the bent position is fixed to the underside of seat plate 12. Outer leg 13b is made up of a single rod-shaped member bent at one point, and one fixed portion 13d relative to the bent position is fixed to the underside of seat plate 12. Outer leg 13b corresponds to one of legs of leg 13a.

[0020] Legs 13a are fixed to the underside of seat plate 12 by fixing members (not shown). All four (plural) legs 13a are slightly inclined from the base fixed to the underside of seat plate 12 toward the lower ends of legs 13a at the corner formed by end portions 12a and linear portions 12b toward the outside of the contour shape of seat plate 12. The lower ends of legs 13a are located inside the contour shape of seat plate 12 in plan view, and do not protrude outside the contour shape of seat plate 12 in plan view.

[0021] The outer leg portion 13b has a fixed portion 13d fixed to the rear surface of the seat plate 12 by a fixing member 13f. Like leg 13a, outer leg 13b is slightly inclined from the fixed base toward the lower end of outer leg 13b toward the outside of the curved outer curved portion 12c. Although not shown, two legs 13a are also fixed to the back surface of seat panel 12 by fixing members 13f similar to those for outer leg 13b. The downward inclination direction of outer leg portion 13b coincides with the radially outward curve of outer curved portion 12c, which curves in an arc-like shape. The inclination direction of outer leg portion 13b also coincides with the extension direction of fixed portion 13d fixed to seat panel 12. The extension direction of fixed portion 13d is referred to as the fixing direction of outer leg portion 13b.

[0022] In this embodiment, the fixing direction of the outer leg portion 13b is at the same angle as the radial direction from the center of curvature of the outer curved portion 12c, i.e., the same angle as the respective straight portions 12b continuing to both ends of the outer curved portion 12c. Specifically, in a plan view, the straight lines extending from the respective straight portions 12b intersect at an angle of approximately 90 degrees, and these straight lines intersect with the fixing direction of the outer leg portion 13b at an angle of 45 degrees. Note that the fixing direction of the outer leg portion 13b is at the same angle as the radial direction from the center of curvature of the inner curved portion 12d, i.e., the same angle as the respective straight portions 12e continuing to both ends of the inner curved portion 12d. Specifically, in a plan view, the straight lines extending from the respective straight portions 12e intersect at an angle of approximately 90 degrees, and these straight lines intersect with the fixing direction of the outer leg portion 13b at an angle of 45 degrees.

[0023] In corner bench 10 of this embodiment, the section from leg portion 13a located at the corner between one end portion 12a and straight portion 12e, along straight portion 12e, inner curved portion 12d, and straight portion 12e to the corner between straight portion 12e and the other end portion 12a, is referred to as opening 13P sandwiched between leg portions 13a and 13a. In other words, opening 13P connects the space below seat panel 12 with the space outside corner bench 10. The outline of opening 13P is formed by the edge of the underside of seat panel 12, leg portion 13a, leg portion 13a, and the floor.

[0024] 1 and 2, the table 70 can be placed adjacent to the corner bench 10. The table 70 is provided with a top plate 72 that is higher than the seating surface 11 and has a substantially rectangular first functional surface 71, and support portions 78 that serve as top plate support portions and are erected downward near the four corners of the top plate 72 to support them.

[0025] The tabletop 72 has a rectangular contour, e.g., a substantially square contour shape in plan view. Curved portions 72d are formed at the four corners of the tabletop 72. The curved portions 72d have a curved shape corresponding to the inner curved portion 12d. Specifically, when the table 70 is placed adjacent to the corner bench 10, the distance between the curved portions 72d and the inner curved portion 12d becomes substantially uniform in plan view. Similarly, the distance between the linear portion 72b of the table 70 and the linear portion 12e of the corner bench 10 becomes substantially uniform in plan view. This shape is configured similarly for the linear portions 72b, which are two sides continuing from both ends of the curved portion 72d, and the linear portions 12e, which are continuing from both ends of the inner curved portion 12d. Thus, in plan view, the contour shape of the tabletop 72 and the contour shape of the corner bench 10 on the inner curved portion 12d side are similar to each other.

[0026] The support portions (top plate support portions) 78 are four linearly erected members. The support portions 78 are rod- or pipe-shaped members having uniform diameters along their entire length. The support portions 78 are connected to the four corners of the contour of the top plate 72, which is approximately square. The support portions 78 are fixed to the underside of the top plate 72 by fixing members (not shown).

[0027] 1 and 2, the support portion 78 is inclined downward and outward from a corner position of the contour shape of the tabletop 72. In other words, the lower end (lower portion) 78a of the support portion 78 that comes into contact with the floor surface is located outside the contour edge of the tabletop 72 in a plan view. The lower end 78a of the support portion 78 functions as a leg of the table 70 and comes into contact with the floor surface. The support portion 78 is inclined from the base portion fixed to the tabletop 72 toward the lower end 78a, toward the curved outer side of the curved portion 72d. The downward inclination direction of support portion 78 coincides with the radially outward direction of the arc-shaped contour of curved portion 72d. The inclination direction of support portion 78 may also coincide with the direction in which the portion fixed to tabletop 72 extends. When table 70 is placed adjacent to corner bench 10, the inclination direction of support portion 78 can be the same as the fixed direction of outer leg portion 13b.

[0028] The length of one side of the approximately rectangular tabletop 72 is set to be slightly longer than the length of the straight portion 12e of the corner bench 10. As a result, even when the table 70 and the corner bench 10 are placed adjacent to each other so that the support portion 78 is in contact with the inner curved portion 12d and the straight portion 72b is approximately parallel to the straight portion 12e, a person can sit on the corner bench 10 without straddling the seat plate 12. In other words, a person can sit on the corner bench 10 by sliding their legs under the tabletop 72 of the table 70 between the end portion 12a and the spaced-apart support portion 78.

[0029] In the furniture unit 100 according to this embodiment, when the table 70 is placed adjacent to the corner bench 10, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, the lower end 78a of the support portion 78 is inserted into the interior of the corner bench 10 through the opening 13P. In other words, the lower end 78a inserted through the opening 13P is positioned below the contour of the seat panel 12. At this time, the lower end 78a is inserted from a central position along the contour of the inner curved portion 12d toward the radially outer side of the inner curved portion 12d. In this state, the outer leg 13b is positioned at the center of the outer curved portion 12c, but since no leg is positioned at the inner curved portion 12d, the table 70 and the corner bench 10 do not interfere with each other even if they are positioned adjacent to each other.

[0030] In this way, the furniture unit 100 contacts the floor surface with the lower portion 78a of the table 70 inside the corner bench 10 through the opening 13P of the corner bench 10, so that the table 70 can be supported on the floor surface that is inside the contour shape of the seat panel 12 in a plan view. This makes it possible to stably support the table 70 on the floor surface even when the contour shape of the table top 72 and the contour shape of the seat panel 12 are adjacent in a plan view. In other words, the contact area of ​​the table 70 with the floor surface can be provided in an area that is expanded horizontally. This allows for a large overhang from the vertically downward contact area of ​​the outer peripheral edge of the table top 72. This in turn allows for the table top 72 to be made larger.

[0031] In the furniture unit 100, the opening 13P of the corner bench 10 is provided with a leg 13a at the end opposite to the inner curved portion 12d of the straight portion 12e, and this leg 13a and The outline of opening 13P is formed by straight portion 12e, which is the lower end contour of seat plate 12, inner curved portion 12d, straight portion 12e, leg portion 13a, and the floor surface, and leg portions 13a and outer leg portions 13b are provided at predetermined positions corresponding to multiple openings 13P formed along the contour shape of seat plate 12 when viewed in a plane, allowing the seat support portion of corner bench 10 to stably support the seat.

[0032] Therefore, when the corner bench 10 and the table 70 are placed adjacent to each other, the lower end 78a of the support portion 78 of the table 70 can be inserted below the inner curved portion 12d located between the legs 13a of the corner bench 10. This allows the corner bench 10 and the table 70 to be placed closer to each other, and also stabilizes the support provided by the support portion 78 of the top plate 72 of the table 70.

[0033] In the furniture unit 100, the corner bench 10 has an inner curved portion 12d in which the contour shape of the seat panel 12 is curved in an approximately L-shape when viewed in a plane, and the central position of this inner curved portion 12d is recessed more inward than both end positions of the contour shape of the seat panel 12, and an opening 13P is positioned to include the lower side of this inner curved portion 12d.Therefore, by positioning the support portion 78 of the table 70 near the inner curved portion 12d, it is possible to bring the corner bench 10 and the table 70 even closer together and to improve the freedom of arrangement layout in the furniture unit 100.

[0034] Corner bench 10 has outer curved portion 12c, which curves so that the contour shape of seat panel 12 protrudes outward in a plan view, and outer leg portions 13b, which slope downward and outward in the radial direction of outer curved portion 12c, so that seat panel 12 protrudes outward in the radial direction of curvature at outer curved portion 12c, allowing seat panel 12 to be stably supported by outer leg portions 13b. This prevents corner bench 10 from tilting in the direction in which seat panel 12 protrudes, and allows stability of corner bench 10 to be maintained. As a result, stability can be maintained even if the top panel 72 of table 70 is enlarged and the corner bench 10 is made larger.

[0035] Support portion 78 of table 70 serves as a table top support portion and is inclined from the underside of a corner of table top 72 to a lower end 78a, and the inclination direction of support portion 78 faces outward relative to the contour of table top 72, so that lower end 78a can be inserted into opening 13P, increasing the amount of overhang from the ground contact portion corresponding to the outer periphery of table top 72. This in turn allows table top 72 to be made larger.

[0036] According to this embodiment, by preventing mutual interference between the legs 13a and the support parts 78, it is possible to provide a furniture unit 100 that allows the tabletop 72 to be made larger.

[0037] In this embodiment, a configuration in which one outer leg 13b is provided on the outer curved portion 12c has been described, but a configuration in which multiple outer legs 13b are provided on the outer curved portion 12c is also possible. In this case, the fixing direction in which the fixing portion 13d is provided should be the radial direction of the curved outer curved portion 12c, and for example, a configuration in which two outer legs 13b are provided so that the angle between them and the straight portion 12b is about 30 degrees, or a configuration in which two outer legs 13b are provided parallel to the end portion 12a, etc. are possible.

[0038] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the opening 13P is described as being sandwiched between the leg 13a, the straight portion 12e, the inner curved portion 12d, the straight portion 12e, and the leg 13a, but the opening can also be sandwiched between the leg 13a, the straight portion 12b, half of the outer curved portion 12c, and the outer leg 13b.
