In a plan view, seat A has rounded front left and right corners and rear left and right corners, i.e., formed in a partial arc shape. Seat A has a front edge portion a1 extending in the left-right direction that is longer than a rear edge portion a2 also extending in the left-right direction. The front edge portion a1 and the rear edge portion a2 are curved so as to convex outward. In seat A, the curvature of the rear edge portion a2 is set to be greater than the curvature of the front edge portion a1.

[0024] <Leg body B> The legs B are capable of supporting the seat A so that the seat surface m is maintained at a height (W) of 600 to 800 mm from the floor surface Y.

[0025] The legs B are symmetrical and include four leg bodies, left and right front legs F and left and right rear legs R, which extend vertically and have casters Q attached to their lower ends, a seat support S that connects the left and right front legs F and the left and right rear legs R and engages with the seat A, and a connecting part G that is disposed below the seat support S, forms a closed loop, connects the left and right front legs F and the left and right rear legs R, and can form a footrest for the seated person.

[0026] The left and right front legs F and the left and right rear legs R are made of pipe material.

[0027] The left and right front legs F each include a front main leg section 1 extending substantially linearly in the vertical direction, and a front extension frame section 2 integrally connected to the upper end of the front main leg section 1.

[0028] The front main leg 1 is positioned so that it gradually moves forward and outward from top to bottom. The front main leg 1 is tilted relative to a horizontal plane such as the floor Y. A caster Q is attached to the lower end of the front main leg 1.

[0029] The front extending frame portion 2 is a portion that extends upward from a connecting portion p of the left and right front legs F with the seat support S. The front extending frame portion 2 is made up of a lower portion 21 and an upper portion 22.

[0030] The lower portion 21 of the front extending frame portion 2 extends in a substantially straight line, continuing from the front main leg portion 1. The upper portion 22 of the front extending frame portion 2 is curved so as to gradually move outward and rearward toward the upper side. The upper end of the upper portion 22 of the front extending frame portion 2 is connected to the front end of the seat-upper frame body C. In other words, the seat-upper frame body C is connected to the upper end of the front extending frame portion 2.

[0031] The left and right rear legs R each include a rear main leg portion 3 extending substantially linearly, and a rear extension frame portion 4 integrally connected to the upper end of the rear main leg portion 3.

[0032] The rear main legs 3 are positioned so that they gradually move rearward and outward from top to bottom. The rear main legs 3 are tilted relative to a horizontal plane such as the floor Y. Casters Q are attached to the lower ends of the rear main legs 3.

[0033] The rear extending frame portion 4 is a portion that extends upward from a connecting portion p of the left and right rear legs R with the seat support S. The rear extending frame portion 4 is composed of a lower portion 41 and an upper portion .

[0034] The lower portion 41 of the rear-extending frame portion 4 extends in a substantially straight line, continuing from the rear main leg portion 3. The upper portion 42 of the rear-extending frame portion 4 has a gently curved shape that gradually moves outward and rearward toward the upper side. The upper end of the upper portion 42 of the rear-extending frame portion 4 is connected to the underside of the rear part of the seat-upper frame body C. In other words, the seat-upper frame body C is connected to the upper end of the rear-extending frame portion 4.

[0035] The seat support S is disposed below the seat A. The seat support S supports the seat A. The seat support S is made of pipe material. The seat support S is installed between the left and right front legs F and the left and right rear legs R so as to form a roughly X-shape when viewed from above or from the bottom.

[0036] The seat support S has one straight-line portion 5 that connects the left front leg F and the right rear leg R in a substantially straight line, and another straight-line portion 6 that connects the right front leg F and the left rear leg R in a substantially straight line, and the one and the other straight-line portions 5, 6 are connected at a center t.

[0037] The connecting part G is formed into a ring shape using a pipe material. The connecting part G is connected to the front main landing gear parts 1 of the left and right front legs F and the rear main landing gear parts 3 of the left and right rear legs R. The part of the connecting part G between the left and right front main landing gear parts 1 forms the main part of the footrest used by the seated person.

[0038] <Seat frame body C> The seat frame body C is positioned above the seat A and is positioned along both the left and right sides and the rear of the seat A in a plan view. The seat frame body C is roughly U-shaped and open to the front in a plan view. The seat frame body C is made of pipe material.

[0039] The seat frame body C is integrally connected to surround both the left and right sides and the rear of the seat A in a plan view. In this embodiment, a space sp is provided between the seat frame body C and the seat A, through which the user's fingers can be inserted.

[0040] The seat upper frame body C is disposed outwardly and apart from the outer peripheral edge of the seat A in a plan view.

[0041] The seat frame body C comprises a pair of left and right handle frame sections 7 which form a part that the user can grasp when seated, and a lumbar support frame section 8 which connects the rear ends of the left and right handle frame sections 7 and against which the user's lumbar region can come into contact when seated.

[0042] In other words, the seat frame body C has a handle frame portion 7, which is a portion located along the left and right side portions of the seat A when viewed in a plane, and a lumbar support frame portion 8, which is a portion located along the rear portion of the seat A when viewed in a plane.

[0043] As explained above, the high stool according to this embodiment comprises a seat A and legs B that support the seat A so that the seat surface m is maintained at a height of 600 to 800 mm. The high stool has casters Q attached to the lower ends of the legs B.

[0044] Therefore, the high stool of this embodiment has excellent flexibility in movement relative to the floor surface Y.

[0045] The seat is provided with an upper frame body C that is positioned above the seat A and that is positioned along both the left and right sides and the rear of the seat A in a plan view.

[0046] Therefore, the seat frame body C is positioned along the left and right sides and rear of the seated person, thereby providing the seated person with a suitable sense of security.

[0047] The seat frame body C is integrally connected to surround both the left and right sides and the rear of the seat A in a plan view.

[0048] Therefore, the seat frame body C is integrally connected to surround the left and right sides and rear of the seated person, thereby providing the seated person with an excellent sense of security.

[0049] Between the seat frame body C and the seat A, a space sp is provided through which the user's fingers can be inserted.

[0050] Therefore, the seat frame body C can be easily grasped by inserting fingers into the space sp.

[0051] The leg body B is provided with four leg bodies, left and right front legs F and left and right rear legs R, which extend vertically and have casters Q at their lower ends, and a seat support S which connects the left and right front legs F and the left and right rear legs R and engages with the seat A.

[0052] Therefore, the leg body B has a suitable structure for supporting the seat A.

[0053] The left and right front legs F and the left and right rear legs R are provided with a front extension frame portion 2 and a rear extension frame portion 4 which are extension frame portions that extend above the connection portion p with the seat support S, and a seat-top frame body C is connected to the upper ends of the front extension frame portion 2 and the rear extension frame portion 4.

[0054] Therefore, the left and right front legs F and the left and right rear legs R are configured to be able to support the seat frame body C and to form a space sp between the seat A and the seat frame body C.

[0055] The seat frame body C is provided with a pair of handle frame parts 7 on the left and right which form parts that the user can grip when seated, and a lumbar support frame part 8 which connects the rear ends of the handle frame parts 7 and against which the user's lumbar part can come into contact when seated.

[0056] Therefore, the seat frame body C constitutes a part that the user can grasp and a part that the user's lower back can contact, thereby contributing to the user's stable and comfortable sitting.

[0057] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment.

[0058] It goes without saying that casters of various configurations can be applied.

[0060] The seat is not limited to a cushion type, but may be a resin shell type or a mesh type in which a mesh-like tension member is stretched over a frame body.

[0061] The seat may be one that can be supported by legs so as to be movable up and down, provided that the seat surface can be maintained at a height of 600 to 800 mm.

[0062] The seat-top frame body may be any type that is positioned above the seat and along both the left and right sides and the rear of the seat in a plan view. For example, the portions of the seat-top frame body that are positioned along both the left and right sides of the seat may form armrest frame parts that can support the elbows of the seated person. Also, the portions of the seat-top frame body that are positioned along the rear of the seat may form backrest frame parts that can support the back of the seated person.

[0063] The seat frame body does not have to be integrally connected so as to surround both the left and right sides and the rear of the seat in a plan view.

[0064] There may be no space between the seat frame body and the seat through which the user's fingers can be inserted.

[0065] Furthermore, the specific configuration of each part is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications are possible within the scope of the present invention. [Explanation of symbols]
