Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] In many cases, the large-room type cabins described in Patent Document 1 do not separate the interior of the cabin to secure the specified number of passengers. And when there are other passengers in the central space of such a large-room type cabin, due to the sense of oppression, passengers who try to enter the cabin later tend to hesitate to use the cabin. In addition, passengers in the central space of the cabin need to lift their upper bodies by themselves when sitting for a long time, so the burden on the body becomes large. Furthermore, in the central space of a large-room type cabin with a large space, due to the hull structure, there may be a columnar hull structure spanning the ceiling and the seating surface as a strength member, and there is a problem that passengers who do not notice this hull structure may collide with it.

[0005] This disclosure has been made in view of the above circumstances, and provides a ship that can reduce the sense of oppression by other passengers and the burden on the passenger's body, and improve the visibility of the hull structure.

[0009] Hereinafter, a vessel according to the embodiments of this disclosure will be described based on the drawings. (First Embodiment) Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of a ship in the first embodiment of the present disclosure. The vessel 1 in this embodiment is a passenger ship or a cargo-passenger ship capable of carrying passengers. As shown in Figure 1, the hull 2 ​​of the vessel 1 is equipped with at least one cabin 5 for passenger use. Figure 1 illustrates a case where the cabins 5 are located within the superstructure 4 on the upper deck 3 of the hull 2, but the location of the cabins 5 is not limited to the superstructure 4 as long as it is within the hull 2. Also, although only one cabin 5 is shown, there may be multiple cabins 5.

[0010] Figure 2 is a plan view of a living room in the first embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 3 is a side view of the backrest and wall backrest in the first embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 4 is a perspective view of the backrest in the embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 2, the living quarters 5 illustrated in this first embodiment are a so-called large room type cabin in which multiple passengers can enter after removing their shoes and sleep or sit. The ship 1 of the first embodiment comprises at least a hull 2, living quarters 5, a hull structure 6, and a backrest 7.

[0011] As shown in FIG. 3, the living room 5 is partitioned by two decks adjacent to each other vertically (hereinafter referred to as the upper deck 8 and the lower deck 9), and a side wall portion 10 provided between the upper deck 8 and the lower deck 9. Further, the living room 5 of the present embodiment includes a seat portion 11 on the lower deck 9. This seat portion 11 forms a seat surface 12 of the living room 5 arranged at an interval upward from the lower deck 9. The seat surface 12 extends parallel to the lower deck 9. The seat portion 11 further includes a carpet (not shown) or the like covering the seat surface 12. Note that the interval between the lower deck 9 and the seat surface 12 is, for example, 100 mm or more based on the JG ship equipment regulations.

[0012] As shown in FIG. 2, the side wall portion 10 forms the wall surface inside the living room 5. Wallpaper or the like is applied to this side wall portion 10. Note that a ceiling wall (not shown) forming the ceiling surface inside the living room 5 may be provided below the upper deck 8.

[0013] The above side wall portion 10 includes a bow side side wall portion 10F, a stern side side wall portion 10A, a left side side wall portion 10L, and a right side side wall portion 10R. The bow side side wall portion 10F extends in the ship width direction Dw and partitions the side of the living room 5 close to the bow. The stern side side wall portion 10A extends in the ship width direction Dw and partitions the side of the living room 5 close to the stern. The left side side wall portion 10L and the right side side wall portion 10R extend in the ship length direction FA. The left side side wall portion 10L partitions the side of the living room 5 close to the left side, and the right side side wall portion 10R partitions the side of the living room 5 close to the right side. In the present embodiment, the bow side side wall portion 10F and the stern side side wall portion 10A are arranged opposite to each other, and the left side side wall portion 10L and the right side side wall portion 10R are arranged opposite to each other.

[0014] The living room 5 illustrated in this embodiment is arranged inside the hull 2 on the side closer to the bow in the fore-and-aft direction FA. Further, the living room 5 illustrated in this embodiment is arranged at a position closer to the right side than the central part in the ship width direction Dw. In this embodiment, since the living room 5 is located in a portion where the dimension in the ship width direction Dw of the hull 2 gradually decreases toward the bow, the right side wall portion 10R has an inclined wall portion 10RS that is inclined so as to approach the center line L1 in the ship width direction Dw as it approaches the bow.

[0015] Also, in this embodiment, a staircase 13 is formed so as to be adjacent to the bow side of the bow side wall portion 10F. And an entrance / exit 14 for passengers to enter and exit the living room 5 is formed in the left side wall portion 10L on the side closer to the bow side wall portion 10F. Passengers entering the living room 5 take off their shoes at this entrance / exit 14, put their shoes in a shoe box 14A provided, for example, beside the entrance / exit 14, and then step onto the seat surface 12 of the seat portion 11 covered with a carpet or the like (see FIG. 3). The living room 5 of this embodiment is equipped with a TV 17 on the stern side wall portion 10A. This TV 17 is attached along the stern side wall portion 10A, and the screen of the TV 17 faces the bow direction.

[0016]

[0017] ​The hull structure 6 is a so-called support column, provided to ensure the structural strength of large compartments within the hull 2, such as the large living quarters 5. The shape of the hull structure 6 can be exemplified as cylindrical. The diameter of the cylindrical hull structure 6 can be exemplified as approximately 100mm to 150mm. In this embodiment, the hull structure 6 is located closer to the port side wall 10L than the starboard side wall 10R within the living quarters 5. While the example of a cylindrical hull structure 6 is given, it is not limited to cylindrical shapes; it may also be polygonal, L-shaped, H-shaped, or the like.

[0018] The backrest 7 is located in the central space of the living quarters 5, allowing passengers who enter the living quarters 5 to lean against it. The backrest 7 is fixed to the hull structure 6 inside the living quarters 5.

[0019] As shown in Figure 4, the backrest portion 7 of this embodiment is provided so as to surround the hull structure 6. Furthermore, as shown in Figures 2 and 4, the backrest portion 7 extends in a direction away from the hull structure 6 along the lower deck 9. The backrest portion 7 of this embodiment extends from the hull structure 6 in the width direction Dw. More specifically, the backrest portion 7 of this embodiment extends from the hull structure 6 toward the starboard side wall portion 10R. In addition, the backrest portion 7 of this embodiment extends at least to a position facing the television 17 in the bow-stern direction FA. Note that, as an example, the backrest portion 7 of this embodiment is formed in a straight line extending parallel to the stern side wall portion 10A in a plan view, but is not limited to this. For example, the backrest portion 7 may be a curved shape that is slightly curved in a plan view, or a shape that combines straight lines and curves.

[0020] As shown in Figure 3, the backrest portion 7 is formed to a height that allows passengers to lean against it while seated in the seat portion 11. On the other hand, above the backrest portion 7, the outer surface of the hull structure 6 is exposed inside the living quarters 5. In other words, the backrest portion 7 is provided only on the side closer to the deck 9, below the vertical center of the hull structure 6. Here, an example of a height from which passengers can lean against it while seated in the seat portion 11 is 300 mm to 800 mm, with the position of the seat surface 12 being 0 mm. Furthermore, the height of the backrest portion 7 may be 400 mm to 700 mm, and more preferably 500 mm to 600 mm. In this embodiment, the backrest portion 7 allows passengers to lean against it from both the side closer to the bow and the side closer to the stern.

[0021] The backrest portion 7 is fixed to the hull structure 6. In other words, the backrest portion 7 is attached to the hull structure 6 so that it cannot move relative to it. The backrest portion 7 illustrated in this embodiment is fixed to both the hull structure 6 and the seat portion 11. Furthermore, the backrest portion 7 in this embodiment has a cushioning material (not shown) of a predetermined thickness in the part that comes into contact with the passenger.

[0022] Furthermore, the backrest portion 7 has an inclined surface 18 that faces diagonally upward. The backrest portion 7 illustrated in this embodiment has inclined surfaces 18 on both the side closer to the bow and the side closer to the stern. These inclined surfaces 18 support the back of a passenger sitting in the posture shown in Figure 3. As an example of the inclination angle of the inclined surface 18, the thickness of the bottom of the backrest portion 7 in contact with the seat surface 12 can be set to approximately 300 mm, and the thickness of the top of the backrest portion 7 can be set to approximately 150 mm, and the inclination angle when these bottom and top surfaces are connected by a plane can be illustrated.

[0023] The inclination angle of the inclined surface 18 is not limited to the angle described above and can be changed as appropriate. Also, the inclined surface 18 is not limited to a flat surface. The inclined surface 18 only needs to be generally oriented diagonally upward, and for example, multiple concave curved surfaces corresponding to the width dimension of one passenger may be provided in the direction in which the backrest portion 7 extends. As described above, since cushioning material is provided in this embodiment, the inclined surface 18 in this embodiment is formed on the surface of the cushioning material.

[0024] As shown in Figure 2, the side wall portion 10 of the living room 5 is further provided with a wall backrest portion 20 on the inner wall surface of the living room 5. As shown in Figures 3 and 4, this wall backrest portion 20, like the backrest portion 7 described above, is provided for passengers to lean against when they enter the living room 5. In this embodiment, the wall backrest portion 20 is fixed to the side wall portion 10 and the seat portion 11. The wall backrest portion 20 can be formed with the same height dimension as the backrest portion 7 described above, for example. Furthermore, the wall backrest portion 20 has an inclined surface 21 that faces diagonally upward. This inclined surface 21 can have the same inclination angle as the inclined surface 18 of the backrest portion 7 described above.

[0025] Furthermore, the height dimension of the wall backrest portion 20 may differ from the height dimension of the backrest portion 7, and the inclination angle of the inclined surface 21 may differ from the inclination angle of the inclined surface 18. In addition, the wall backrest portion 20 may be fixed only to the side wall portion 10. Moreover, although the example given shows the wall backrest portion 20 being provided on the starboard side wall portion 10R and the port side wall portion 10L, the location where the wall backrest portion 20 is provided is not limited to the starboard side wall portion 10R and the port side wall portion 10L, as long as it is on the side wall portion 10.

[0026] (Effects and Benefits) The vessel 1 of the first embodiment described above comprises a living quarters 5 partitioned by an upper deck 8 and a lower deck 9, and a side wall 10 provided between the upper deck 8 and the lower deck 9; a hull structure 6 extending from the lower deck 9 to the upper deck 8 at a location away from the side wall 10 in the living quarters 5; and a backrest 7 fixed to the hull structure 6 within the living quarters 5. This configuration makes it appear as if the large room-style cabin 5 is divided by the backrest section 7, thus reducing the feeling of confinement caused by other passengers being in the central space of cabin 5. Therefore, it helps to prevent passengers who try to enter the cabin later from hesitating to use it.

[0027] Furthermore, since passengers in the central space of compartment 5 can lean against the backrest 7, it is possible to reduce the physical strain on passengers. Furthermore, since the backrest 7 is fixed to the hull structure 6 located in the central space of the large room-type living quarters 5, the visibility of the hull structure 6 can be improved by this backrest 7. Therefore, passengers, especially infants, can be made aware of the presence of the hull structure 6, thereby reducing the likelihood of passengers colliding with the hull structure 6.

[0028] In the first embodiment described above, the backrest portion 7 is further provided only on the side closer to the deck 9, which is lower than the vertical center position of the hull structure 6. Therefore, compared to the case where the entire outer surface of the hull structure 6 is covered, the portion above the backrest 7 can be exposed into the living space 5, thereby improving the aesthetic design of the living space 5.

[0029] The backrest portion 7 of the first embodiment described above is further provided so as to surround the hull structure 6 and is fixed to the hull structure 6. Therefore, the backrest portion 7 can prevent passengers from coming into contact with the hull structure 6. In addition, since the backrest portion 7 can be supported by at least the hull structure 6, the thickness of the backrest portion 7 can be reduced, thereby preventing a decrease in the central space of the living quarters 5.

[0030] The backrest portion 7 of the first embodiment described above further extends along the lower deck 9 in a direction away from the hull structure 6 and is fixed to the hull structure 6 and the seat portion 11. Therefore, compared to cases where the backrest portion 7 is fixed only to the hull structure 6 or only to the seat portion 11, it is possible to fix the backrest portion 7 more securely while suppressing an increase in its size.

[0031] The backrest portion 7 of the first embodiment described above is further positioned at a height that allows passengers to lean against it while seated in the seat portion 11. This allows passengers seated in the seat section 11 to lean against the backrest section 7, reducing the strain on their bodies and making it possible for them to sit for extended periods.

[0032] The backrest portion 7 of the first embodiment described above further has an inclined surface 18 that faces diagonally upward. This allows the inclined surface 18 of the backrest 7 to conform to the back of a seated passenger, thereby improving comfort. Furthermore, if the backrest 7 faces the television 17, it becomes easier to assume a posture suitable for watching the television 17.

[0033] The vessel 1 of the first embodiment described above is further provided with a wall backrest portion 20 on the wall surface of the side wall portion 10. This allows passengers to easily lean against the side wall 10, thus preventing passengers from concentrating in the central space of the passenger compartment 5.

[0034] (First modification of the first embodiment) Figure 5 is a perspective view of the backrest in a first modification of the first embodiment of the present disclosure. In the first embodiment described above, the case in which the backrest portion 7 extends from the hull structure 6 toward the starboard side was explained. In other words, the case in which the hull structure 6 is positioned at one end of the backrest portion 7 in the longitudinal direction was explained. However, the arrangement of the hull structure 6 relative to the backrest portion 7 is not limited to the arrangement in the first embodiment described above. For example, as in the first modified example of the first embodiment shown in Figure 5, the hull structure 6 may be positioned in the center of the backrest portion 7 in the longitudinal direction.

[0035] (Second modification of the first embodiment) Figure 6 is a perspective view of the backrest in a second modified example of the first embodiment of the present disclosure. In the first embodiment described above, the case was explained in which the backrest portion 7 extends from the hull structure 6 toward the starboard side to a position facing the television 17. However, the length of the hull structure 6 is not limited to the length of the first embodiment and may be changed as appropriate. For example, as shown in the second modified example of the first embodiment in Figure 6, the overall length of the backrest portion may be adjusted by configuring multiple backrest portions 27 to be connectable in series.

[0036] (Third modified example of the first embodiment) Figure 7 is a perspective view of the backrest in a third modified example of the first embodiment of the present disclosure. In the first embodiment described above, the case in which the backrest portion 7 extends upward from the position of the seat surface 12 was explained. However, the backrest portion 7 is not limited to extending upward from the position of the seat surface 12. For example, as shown in the third modified example of the first embodiment in Figure 7, it may extend upward from a position above the seat surface 12. In this case, the gap between the lower edge of the backrest portion 7 and the seat surface 12 can be exemplified as, for example, 300 mm to 500 mm. Similarly, the wall backrest portion 20 may also extend upward from a position above the seat surface 12.

[0037] (Fourth modification of the first embodiment) Figure 8 is a floor plan of a living room in a fourth modified example of the first embodiment of the present disclosure. In the first embodiment described above, a case was explained in which one hull structure 6 is provided in the living space 5, and one backrest 7 is fixed to this hull structure 6. However, the number of hull structures 6 and backrests 7 provided in a single living space 5 are not limited to those described above.

[0038] In the case of a large room-type living space 5 that has more space than the living space 5 exemplified in the first embodiment, there may be multiple hull structures 6, for example, as shown in the fourth modified example of the first embodiment in Figure 8. In this case, each of the multiple hull structures 6 may be provided with a backrest 7. In the living space 5 exemplified in this fourth modified example of the first embodiment, the hull structures 6 are provided at symmetrical positions spaced apart in the ship width direction Dw, and only one television 17 is provided in the center of the stern side wall 10A in the ship width direction Dw. The inclined surface 18 of the multiple backrests 7 on the side closest to the television 17 extends toward the bow as it approaches the center in the ship width direction Dw, so that it faces the direction of the television 17 in a plan view. In addition, the backrests 7 in this fourth modified example each extend from the hull structure 6 toward the center in the ship width direction Dw.

[0039] (Fifth modification of the first embodiment) Figure 9 is a plan view of the backrest portion as seen from above in a fifth modified example of the first embodiment of the present disclosure. In the first embodiment described above, the case in which the backrest portion 7 is fixed to the hull structure 6 and the seat surface 12 in a manner that prevents relative displacement was explained as an example. However, as shown in Figure 9, the backrest portion 37 of the fifth modification of the first embodiment may be pivotable around the axis 22 of the hull structure 6. This fifth modification of the backrest portion 37 has a locking mechanism 25. The locking mechanism 25 can be switched between a state that allows the backrest portion 37 to pivot and a state that restricts the pivoting of the backrest portion 37. In other words, in this fifth modification, the backrest portion 37 can be set to a desired angle by pivoting it, and furthermore, by restricting the pivoting with the locking mechanism 25, passengers can lean against the backrest portion 37 at the desired angle. Note that Figure 9 illustrates the case in which the locking mechanism 25 is located on the side closer to the end 37t opposite to the hull structure 6, but the position of the locking mechanism 25 is not limited to the side closer to the end 37t.

[0040] (Second embodiment) Next, a second embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings. The vessel of this second embodiment differs from vessel 1, which is the fourth modified example of the first embodiment described above, only in the configuration of the backrest. For this reason, the same reference numerals are used for the same parts as in the first embodiment described above, and redundant explanations are omitted.

[0041] Figure 10 is a plan view of a living room in a second embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 11 is a perspective view of the backrest in a second embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 10, the hull 2 ​​of the vessel 1 according to the second embodiment is equipped with at least a passenger cabin 105, similar to the first embodiment described above. This cabin 105 is a so-called large room type passenger cabin, similar to the cabin 5 of the first embodiment described above, where multiple passengers can enter after removing their shoes and sleep or sit. The vessel 1 of this second embodiment is equipped with at least the hull 2, the cabin 105, the hull structure 6, and the backrest portion 107. Although the vessel 1 of this second embodiment also has a wall backrest portion 20, similar to the first embodiment, a detailed explanation of the wall backrest portion 20 is omitted.

[0042] As shown in Figures 10 and 11, the living quarters 105 are partitioned by an upper deck 8 and a lower deck 9 that are adjacent to each other vertically, and by a side wall 10 provided between the upper deck 8 and the lower deck 9. Furthermore, similar to the first embodiment, the living quarters 105 are equipped with a seating area 11 that forms a seating surface 12 on the lower deck 9.

[0043] The living quarters 105 of this second embodiment are a large room-type cabin with more space than the living quarters 5 exemplified in the first embodiment, similar to the living quarters 5 in the fourth modified example of the first embodiment. The living quarters 105 of this second embodiment are formed to extend from a position closer to the port side than the center of the hull 2 ​​to a position closer to the starboard side than the center of the hull 2. Furthermore, the living quarters 105 of the second embodiment have a symmetrical shape in the ship's width direction Dw. In addition, the living quarters 105 have only one television 17 installed in the center of the stern side wall 10A in the ship's width direction Dw. Note that the shape of the living quarters 105 of the second embodiment is just one example and is not limited to the shape described above.

[0044] As shown in Figure 10, the hull structure 6 is located in the central space, away from the side walls 10 of the living quarters 105. The hull structure 6 is a so-called support column, provided to ensure the structural strength of the large living quarters 105. The hull structure 6 extends across the lower deck 9 and the upper deck 8. The lower end of the hull structure 6 is fixed to the lower deck 9, and the upper end of the hull structure is fixed to the upper deck 8. In this second embodiment, the hull structure 6 is positioned symmetrically in the living quarters 105, spaced apart in the ship's width direction Dw.

[0045] The backrest 107 is provided for passengers who have entered the cabin 105 to lean against in the central space of the cabin 105. The backrest 107 is fixed to the hull structure 6 within the cabin 105. In the second embodiment, the backrest 107 is provided so as to surround the perimeter of the hull structure 6. This backrest 107 differs from the backrest 7 in the first embodiment in that it does not extend in a direction away from the hull structure 6 along the lower deck 9.

[0046] As shown in Figures 10 and 11, the backrest portion 107 is formed to a height that allows passengers to lean against it while seated in the seat portion 11. On the other hand, above the backrest portion 107, the outer surface of the hull structure 6 is exposed inside the living quarters 5. The backrest portion 107 is formed in a cylindrical shape, and its outer diameter gradually decreases from the lower edge to the upper edge. In other words, the outer shape of the backrest portion 107 is a frustoconical shape that narrows upwards, with the hull structure 6 passing through its center. Here, as with the first embodiment, the height at which passengers can lean against it while seated in the seat portion 11 can be exemplified as a height of 300 mm to 800 mm, assuming the position of the seat surface 12 is 0 mm. Furthermore, the height of the backrest portion 7 may be 400 mm to 700 mm, and more preferably 500 mm to 600 mm.

[0047] The backrest portion 107 is fixed to the hull structure 6. In other words, the backrest portion 107 is attached to the hull structure 6 so that it cannot move relative to it. Furthermore, the backrest portion 107 is fixed to the seat portion 11 in addition to the hull structure 6, similar to the backrest portion 7 of the first embodiment. The backrest portion 7 of this embodiment also has a cushioning material (not shown) of a predetermined thickness in the part that comes into contact with the passenger. Although the case in which the backrest portion 107 is fixed to the seat portion 11 has been described, the backrest portion 107 is not limited to a configuration in which it is fixed to the seat portion 11, and for example, it may be configured not to be fixed to the seat portion 11.

[0048] The backrest portion 107 has an inclined surface 118 that faces diagonally upward. The inclined surface 118 is the surface that supports the back of a passenger sitting in the posture shown in Figure 11. As an example of the inclination angle of the inclined surface 118, the inclination angle when the outer diameter of the lowest part of the backrest portion 107 that contacts the seat surface 12 is about 300 mm and the outer diameter of the uppermost part of the backrest portion 7 is about 150 mm can be exemplified. Note that the inclination angle of the inclined surface 118 is not limited to the above angle and can be changed as appropriate. Furthermore, since the backrest portion 107 of the second embodiment is also equipped with cushioning material (not shown) similar to the backrest portion 7 of the first embodiment, the inclined surface 118 is formed on the surface of the cushioning material.

[0049] In this second embodiment, the living room 105 is provided with a wall backrest 20 having the same configuration as in the first embodiment. The height dimension of the wall backrest 20 in the second embodiment is the same as the height dimension of the backrest 107, and the inclination angle of the inclined surface 21 of the wall backrest 20 is the same as the inclination angle of the inclined surface 118 of the backrest 107. However, the height dimension of the wall backrest 20 may be different from the height dimension of the wall backrest 20, and the inclination angle of the inclined surface 21 of the wall backrest 20 may be different from the inclination angle of the inclined surface 118.

[0050] (Effects and Benefits) Therefore, according to the second embodiment, similar to the first embodiment, the large room-type living space 105 can be made to appear as if it is divided by the backrest portion 107, thereby reducing the feeling of confinement caused by other passengers being in the central space of the living space 105. Thus, it is possible to prevent passengers who try to enter the room later from hesitating to use the room. Furthermore, since passengers in the central space of the passenger compartment 105 can lean against the backrest 107, it is possible to reduce the physical strain on the passengers.

[0051] Furthermore, since the backrest 107 is fixed to the hull structure 6 located in the central space of the large room-type living quarters 105, the visibility of the hull structure 6 can be improved by this backrest 107. Therefore, passengers, especially infants, can be made aware of the presence of the hull structure 6, thereby reducing the likelihood of passengers colliding with the hull structure 6.

[0052] According to the second embodiment described above, similar to the first embodiment, compared to the case where the entire outer surface of the hull structure 6 is covered, the portion above the backrest 107 can be exposed into the living space 105, thereby improving the aesthetic design of the living space 105. Furthermore, since the backrest portion 107 can be supported by at least the hull structure 6, the thickness of the backrest portion 107 can be reduced, thereby preventing a decrease in the central space of the living quarters 105. Also, according to the second embodiment, since the backrest portion 107 is provided only around the hull structure 6, it is possible to expand the central space of the living quarters 105 compared to the backrest portions 7, 27, and 37 of the first embodiment.

[0053] Furthermore, according to the second embodiment described above, the backrest portion 107 is provided at a height that allows passengers to lean against it while seated in the seat portion 11, thereby reducing the physical burden on passengers seated in the seat portion 11 and enabling them to sit for extended periods. Furthermore, the inclined surface 118 allows the seat to conform to the back of a seated passenger, thereby improving comfort.

[0054] (Modification of the second embodiment) Figure 12 is a plan view of the backrest portion of the second embodiment of the present disclosure, viewed from above. In the second embodiment described above, the case in which the outer shape of the backrest portion 107 is frustoconical, that is, the cross-sectional shape perpendicular to the direction in which the hull structure 6 extends is circular, was explained as an example. However, the cross-sectional shape of the backrest portion 107 perpendicular to the direction in which the hull structure 6 extends is not limited to a circle. For example, as in the backrest portion 127 of the modified second embodiment shown in Figure 12, the cross-sectional shape perpendicular to the direction in which the hull structure 6 extends may be polygonal (Figure 12 illustrates the case of a hexagon).

[0055] Furthermore, the second embodiment illustrates a case where the backrest portion 107 extends upward from the position of the seat surface 12. However, the backrest portion 107 is not limited to extending upward from the position of the seat surface 12. Similar to the third modification of the first embodiment, the backrest portion 107 may extend upward from a position above the seat surface 12. In this case, the gap between the lower edge of the backrest portion 107 and the seat surface 12 can be exemplified as, for example, 300 mm to 500 mm.

[0056] (Other embodiments) This disclosure is not limited to the configurations of the embodiments and modifications described above, and design changes are possible without departing from the spirit thereof.

[0057] For example, in the embodiments and modifications described above, the case was explained in which the backrests 7, 27, 37, 107, and 127 are provided only on the side closer to the deck 9 below the vertical center of the hull structure 6. However, the backrests 7, 27, 37, 107, and 127 may also be provided above the vertical center of the hull structure 6.

[0058] Furthermore, in the embodiments and modifications described above, the case in which the backrests 7, 27, 37, 107, and 127 are fixed to both the hull structure 6 and the seat 11 has been explained. However, the backrests 7, 27, 37, 107, and 127 may be fixed only to the hull structure 6.

[0059] In the first embodiment and its modifications described above, the case where the backrests 7, 27, and 37 have inclined surfaces 18 was explained. In the second embodiment and its modifications, the case where the backrest 107 has an inclined surface 118 was explained. However, the backrests 7, 27, 37, 107, and 127 can also be configured without inclined surfaces 18 and 118 that face diagonally upward.

[0060] In the embodiments and modifications described above, the case in which the backrests 7, 27, 37, 107, and 127 are provided to continuously surround the hull structure 6 has been explained. However, the backrests 7, 27, 37, 107, and 127 may also be configured to intermittently surround the hull structure 6, with slits, through-holes, etc., formed in a part of the portion surrounding the hull structure 6.

[0061] Furthermore, while the above-described embodiments and modifications describe the usage of the living spaces 5,105 in which passengers remove their shoes and sit or lie down on the seat surface 12, the usage is not limited to this. For example, it may be used in a way that passengers stand. In this case, the backrests 7,27,37,107,127 should be of a height that allows standing passengers to lean against them.

[0062] Furthermore, in the embodiments and modifications described above, the case in which the backrests 7, 27, 37, 107, and 127 are equipped with cushioning material was explained as an example. However, the cushioning material may be omitted, and a hard synthetic resin or the like may be used for the surface that comes into contact with the passenger. Furthermore, the surfaces of the backrest portions 7, 27, 37, 107, and 127 of each of the above-described embodiments and variations may be given a diagonal stripe pattern in yellow and black to improve visibility.

[0063] Furthermore, the backrests 7, 27, 37, 107, 127 and the wall backrest 20 exemplified in the above-described embodiments and modifications may be used in combination as appropriate.

[0064] <Note> The vessel 1 described in the embodiment can be understood, for example, as follows:

[0065] (1) According to the first embodiment, the vessel comprises a hull 2, living quarters 5, 105 provided within the hull 2 ​​and partitioned by two adjacent decks 8, 9 and a side wall 10 provided between the two decks 8, 9, a hull structure 6 extending from the lower deck 9 to the upper deck 8 at a location in the living quarters 5, 105 away from the side wall 10, and backrests 7, 27, 37, 107, 127 fixed to the hull structure 6 within the living quarters 5, 105. Examples of vessels include ferries and passenger / cargo ships.

[0066] This reduces the feeling of confinement caused by other passengers being in the central space of cabin 5,105, and prevents passengers who try to enter later from hesitating to use the cabin. In addition, the backrests 7,27,37,107,127 improve the visibility of the hull structure 6, making passengers, especially infants, aware of the presence of the hull structure 6, and thus preventing passengers from colliding with the hull structure 6.

[0067] (2) According to the second embodiment, the vessel 1 is the vessel 1 of (1), wherein the backrests 7, 27, 37, 107, 127 are provided only on the side closer to the deck 9 below the vertical center of the hull structure 6. This allows the portion above the backrests 7, 27, 37, 107, and 127 to be exposed within the living quarters 5, compared to the case where the entire outer surface of the hull structure 6 is covered, thereby improving the aesthetic design of the living quarters 5.

[0068] (3) According to the third embodiment, the vessel 1 is the vessel 1 of (1) or (2), wherein the backrests 7, 27, 37, 107, 127 are provided so as to surround the hull structure 6 and are fixed to the hull structure 6. This reduces passenger contact with the hull structure 6. In addition, since the hull structure 6 can support at least the backrests 7, 27, 37, 107, and 127, the thickness of the backrests 7 can be reduced, thus preventing a decrease in the central space of the living quarters 5.

[0069] (4) According to the fourth embodiment, the vessel 1 is any one of the vessels 1 of (1) to (3), and is provided on the lower deck 9 and includes a seating section 11 that forms the seating surface 12 of the living quarters 5,105, and the backrests 7,27,37,107,127 are fixed to the hull structure 6 and the seating section 11. This makes it possible to fix the backrests 7, 27, 37, 107, and 127 more securely while suppressing an increase in their size, compared to cases where the backrests 7, 27, 37, 107, and 127 are fixed only to the hull structure 6 or only to the seat section 11.

[0070] (5) According to the fifth embodiment, the vessel 1 is any one of the vessels 1 of (1) to (3), and is provided on the lower deck 9 and includes a seating section 11 that forms the seating surface 12 of the living quarters 5, the backrests 7, 27, 37 extend along the lower deck 9 in a direction away from the hull structure 6 and are fixed to the hull structure 6 and the seating section 11. This makes it possible to fix the backrests 7, 27, and 37 more securely while suppressing an increase in the size of the backrests 7, 27, and 37, compared to cases where the backrests 7, 27, and 37 are fixed only to the hull structure 6 or only to the seat section 11.

[0071] (6) According to the sixth embodiment, the vessel 1 is the vessel 1 of (4) or (5), wherein the backrests 7, 27, 37, 107, 127 are set at a height that allows passengers to lean against them while seated in the seat 11. This allows passengers seated in the seat section 11 to lean against the backrests 7, 27, 37, 107, and 127, thereby reducing the strain on the passenger's body and making it possible to sit for extended periods.

[0072] (7) According to the seventh embodiment, the vessel 1 is any one of the vessels 1 from (1) to (6), wherein the backrests 7, 27, 37, 107, 127 have inclined surfaces 18, 118 that face diagonally upward. This allows the surfaces of the backrest sections 7, 27, 37, 107, and 127 that come into contact with the passenger to conform to the back of a seated passenger, thereby improving comfort.

[0073] (8) According to the eighth aspect, the vessel 1 is any one of the vessels 1 from (1) to (7), wherein the side wall portion 10 is further provided with a wall backrest portion 20 on the wall surface. This allows passengers to easily lean against the side wall 10, thus preventing passengers from concentrating in the central space of the passenger compartment 5,105. [Explanation of Symbols]
