[0016] [Sofa 1 (first embodiment of furniture)] First, the sofa 1, which is a first embodiment of the furniture according to the present invention, will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 7. In this specification, the direction of the sofa 1 is defined from the perspective of the seated occupant when the occupant sits on the sofa 1 (the same applies to the sofa 100 according to the second embodiment). Specifically, the lower right side in FIG. 1, the lower side in FIG. 3, and the right side in FIG. 4 are defined as the front direction of the sofa 1, and the opposite side is defined as the rear direction of the sofa 1. Similarly, the lower left side in FIG. 1, the left side in FIG. 3, and the front side of the drawing sheet in FIG. 4 are defined as the right direction of the sofa 1, and the opposite side is defined as the left direction of the sofa 1.

[0017] As shown in Figures 1 to 5, the sofa 1 according to this embodiment comprises a seat portion 2 for a person to sit on, a shielding portion 3 including a surface capable of shielding at least a part of the rear and sides of the person to be seated, casters 4 provided at the lower end of the sofa 1, and a movable table 5 provided at the front of the sofa 1.

[0018] The seat portion 2 is constructed by housing cushioning material inside a fabric body. As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the seat portion 2 comprises a seat surface 21 on which the sitter sits, and a backrest 22 provided at the rear of the seat surface 21. The lower surface formed on the opposite side of the seat surface 21 is formed as a fixing surface for assembly to the shielding portion 3.

[0019] Sofa 1 is constructed by assembling a seat 2 to a shielding section 3. As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the shielding section 3 is constructed as a screen formed by a frame 31 and a shielding body 32. The frame 31 is a frame that defines the external shape of the shielding section 3 and is made of metal pipes. In this embodiment, the shielding section 3 can be easily constructed by forming the shielding body 32 with upholstery stretched over the frame 31. Casters 4 are provided at the lower end of the frame 31. The casters 4 allow users of sofa 1 to easily move sofa 1.

[0020] As shown in Figures 1 to 4, the frame 31 (shielding section 3) is open at the front and widens in the left-right direction towards the front, forming an inverted U-shape in plan view. The shielding body 32 is placed over the outer surface of the frame 31, thereby forming a shielding section 3 in which the frame 31 and the shielding body 32 are integrated. In this embodiment, the frame 31 is made of a metal pipe to increase the rigidity of the shielding section 3.

[0021] Handle portions 31a, 31a are exposed at the left and right front ends of the frame 31, oriented vertically. Each handle portion 31a is formed from a long member and is formed on the frame 31 in a position where its longitudinal direction is vertical. As shown in Figure 3, the handle portions 31a, 31a are positioned in front of the front end 2a of the seat portion 2.

[0022] As shown in Figure 2, a seat frame 31b for supporting the seat 2 is formed at the lower part of the frame 31. The seat 2 is placed on the seat frame 31b, and the fixing surface of the seat 2 is fixed to the seat frame 31b with fasteners such as screws (not shown). As a result, the seat 2 is stably assembled to the frame 31, and the seat 2 is integrated with the shielding part 3 in a stable position.

[0023] In the sofa 1 according to this embodiment, shielding parts 3 are provided at the rear and sides of the seat 2, thereby forming a surface (shielding body 32) that can shield at least a portion of the area behind and to the sides of a person sitting on the seat 2. As a result, a person using the sofa 1 can block the view from outside behind and to the sides, thereby securing a personal space. Furthermore, when a person using the sofa 1 is reading or working, external information such as sound and light from behind and to the sides of the sofa 1 can be blocked, allowing them to concentrate on their work. In addition, when a person using the sofa 1 is conducting a web conference, the shielding parts 3 can prevent the situation behind the sofa 1 from being reflected on the screen.

[0024] In the sofa 1 according to this embodiment, the upper end of the shielding portion 3 is located at a height of three times or more the height of the seat surface 21 of the seat portion 2. Specifically, as shown in Figure 5, the first height H1, which is the height of the shielding portion 3, is formed to be three times or more the height of the seat surface 21, which is the seat surface height Hs. As a result, a person sitting on the sofa 1 can be sufficiently shielded from the view from the rear and sides of the sofa, and external information from the rear and sides of the sofa 1 can be sufficiently blocked.

[0025] Furthermore, from the standpoint of shielding the sofa 1 from the outside and securing personal space, it is preferable that the height of the shielding portion 3 be 3.5 times or more the height of the seat surface 21, and more preferably 4 times or more the height of the seat surface 21.

[0026] On the other hand, since sofa 1 is easily moved by casters 4, it can be easily changed from a situation where one user uses it alone to a situation where multiple people use it facing each other. In other words, sofa 1 allows for flexible changes in usage between a situation where a user has their own personal space and a situation where multiple people are facing each other, as described above.

[0027] As shown in Figures 1 to 5, a movable table 5 usable by a seated person is provided at the front of the sofa 1 according to this embodiment. The movable table 5 consists of a support column member 51, a support member 52, a fixing plate 53, and a tabletop 54.

[0028] In the sofa 1 according to this embodiment, the support member 51 is configured as a height adjustment part that can adjust the height of the top plate 54. The support member 51 includes a first support column 51a that is displaceable in the vertical direction, and a second support column 51b that is cylindrical in shape and accommodates the displaced portion of the first support column 51a.

[0029] A fixing portion 51d extends horizontally from the lower middle part of the second support column 51b, and the fixing portion 51d is fixed to the fixing surface of the seat portion 2. This allows the movable table 5 to be integrally assembled with the seat portion 2. A connecting portion 51c extends horizontally from the upper end of the first support column 51a.

[0030] A support member 52 is rotatably connected to the tip of the connecting portion 51c. A top plate 54 is provided on the tip of the support member 52 via a fixing plate 53. The fixing plate 53 is rotatably assembled to the support member 52. Specifically, as shown in Figures 3(a) and (b), the tip of the connecting portion 51c and the base end of the support member 52 are rotatable around a first pivot axis A1 oriented in the vertical direction. In addition, the tip of the support member 52 and the fixing plate 53 are rotatable around a second pivot axis A2 oriented in the vertical direction.

[0031] As described above, in the movable table 5 of the sofa 1, the tabletop 54 is supported by a support member 52 on a support column member 51, which is a height adjustment part. The support member 52 is supported by the support column member 51 so as to be rotatable around a first pivot axis A1 that is oriented vertically. Furthermore, the tabletop 54 is supported by the support member 52 via a fixing plate 53 so as to be rotatable around a second pivot axis A2 that is oriented vertically.

[0032] As shown in Figure 4, multiple locking grooves 51e are formed along the longitudinal direction on the inner surface of the second support column 51b. A locking portion formed on the first support column 51a engages with one of these locking grooves 51e. As a result, as shown in Figures 4 and 5, the vertical position of the first support column 51a relative to the second support column 51b is variable, and the top plate 54 can be raised and lowered vertically.

[0033] As described above, in the sofa 1 according to this embodiment, a movable table 5 equipped with a tabletop 54 is integrally assembled with the seat 2. Therefore, users of the sofa 1 do not need to prepare a separate table or the like to place a computer or documents on, and can always use the tabletop 54.

[0034] Furthermore, in the sofa 1 according to this embodiment, the movable table 5 is provided with a support member 51 comprising a first support column 51a and a second support column 51b that supports the first support column 51a so as to be displaceable in the vertical direction, as a height adjustment part that can adjust the height of the tabletop 54. This makes it possible to easily change the height of the tabletop 54. When a person seated on the sofa 1 conducts a web conference, by changing the height of the tabletop 54 on which the computer is placed to a higher position, the situation behind the sofa 1 can be made less likely to be reflected on the screen by the shielding part 3.

[0035] Furthermore, in the sofa 1 according to this embodiment, the support member 52 of the movable table 5 is supported by the connecting portion 51c of the support column member 51 so as to be rotatable around the first rotation axis A1 oriented in the vertical direction. This makes it possible to change the relative angle between the seat 2 and the tabletop 54, allowing users of the sofa 1 to easily sit down and get up.

[0036] Furthermore, in the sofa 1 according to this embodiment, the tabletop 54 of the movable table 5 is supported by a support member 52 so as to be rotatable around a second pivot axis A2 that is oriented vertically. As a result, as shown in Figures 3(a) and (b), the distance between the seat 2 and the tabletop 54 can be changed without changing the relative angle between the seat 2 and the tabletop 54.

[0037] In the sofa 1 according to this embodiment, as shown in Figure 6, the shielding portion 3 includes a first surface P1 located on the right side of the seat portion 2, a second surface P2 located on the left side of the seat portion 2, and a third surface P3 connecting the first surface P1 and the second surface P2. The first surface P1 and the second surface P2 shield most of the side of the seat portion 2, and are configured such that the distance between them at the front ends gradually increases compared to the distance between them at the rear ends when viewed from above. Furthermore, the third surface P3 is formed to bulge out towards the rear when viewed from above. Note that "most of the side of the seat portion 2" that the first surface P1 and the second surface P2 shield is, for example, two-thirds or more of the side of the seat portion 2, and more preferably 80% or more of the side of the seat portion 2.

[0038] As described above, in the sofa 1 according to this embodiment, the placement space for the area used by the seated person can be made compact by forming it as described above. Specifically, as shown in Figure 7, by not providing the rear corners which are not used by the seated person, the placement space of the sofa 1 in a plan view can be reduced. As a result, as shown in Figure 7, when multiple sofas 1 are arranged side by side facing diagonally, it is possible to secure a relatively large distance D between the sofas 1 and the placement width W of the sofas 1.

[0039] Furthermore, in the sofa 1 according to this embodiment, the state of the frame 31 constituting the shielding portion 3 is such that, as shown in Figures 2 and 6, it includes a horizontal portion that extends horizontally along the shapes of the first surface P1, the second surface P2, and the third surface P3 in a plan view. This makes it possible to increase the rigidity of the shielding portion 3.

[0040] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 6, the seat portion 2 is formed to conform to the shapes of the first surface P1, the second surface P2, and the third surface P3 in a plan view. This enhances the sense of unity between the seat portion 2 and the shielding portion 3 in the appearance of the sofa 1, thereby improving the design of the sofa 1.

[0041] Furthermore, in the sofa 1 according to this embodiment, the shielding portion 3 is formed in a symmetrical shape, and the first surface P1 and the second surface P2 are formed in a common shape. As a result, the manufacturing process for the first surface P1 and the second surface P2 can be standardized, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost of the sofa 1.

[0042] Furthermore, in the sofa 1 according to this embodiment, as described above, handle portions 31a, 31a are provided on the left and right front ends of the frame 31, extending vertically. This eliminates the need for users of the sofa 1 to move it by holding the seat portion 2 or the shielding body 32, as they can instead hold the handle portions 31a. This helps to prevent soiling and damage to the seat portion 2 and the shielding body 32 when moving the sofa 1.

[0043] Furthermore, in the sofa 1 according to this embodiment, even when a user facing the sofa 1 moves the sofa 1 towards them, they can still hold the handle portion 31a. In other words, the user can easily move the sofa 1, thereby improving the mobility of the sofa 1 by the user.

[0044] Furthermore, in the sofa 1 according to this embodiment, the handle portion 31a is formed from a long member and is provided in a position where its longitudinal direction is vertical. As a result, users of the sofa 1 can grasp the handle portion 31a at any point on the sofa 1, further improving the mobility of the sofa 1 by the user.

[0045] Furthermore, in the sofa 1 according to this embodiment, the handle portion 31a is integrally formed with the shielding portion 3. This makes it easier for users of the sofa 1 to grasp the handle portion 31a on the shielding portion 3 when moving the sofa 1. As a result, dirt and damage to the shielding portion 3 can be suppressed when moving the sofa 1.

[0046] Furthermore, in the sofa 1 according to this embodiment, the handle portion 31a is formed from a part of the frame 31. As a result, there is no need to provide a separate handle portion, and the handle portion 31a can be formed with a simple configuration.

[0047] Furthermore, in the sofa 1 according to this embodiment, the casters 4 are provided at the lower end of the frame 31. This improves the mobility of the sofa 1 and simultaneously improves the ease of assembly of the sofa 1. In addition, in the sofa 1 according to this embodiment, the handle portion 31a is positioned in front of the front end 2a of the seat portion 2. This makes it easier for a user in front of the sofa 1 to grasp the handle portion 31a, thereby further improving the mobility of the sofa 1 by the user.

[0048] [Sofa 100 (Second embodiment of the fixture)] Next, a sofa 100, which is a second embodiment of the furniture according to the present invention, will be described with reference to Figures 8 to 11. As shown in Figures 8 to 11, the sofa 100 according to this embodiment comprises a seat portion 102 for a person to sit on, a shielding portion 103 including a surface capable of shielding at least a part of the rear and sides of the person to be seated, casters 104 provided at the lower end of the sofa 100, and a movable table 105 provided at the front of the sofa 100.

[0049] The seat portion 102 is constructed by housing cushioning material inside a fabric body. As shown in Figures 8 and 9, the seat portion 102 comprises a seat surface 121 on which the sitter sits, and a backrest 122 provided at the rear of the seat surface 121. The lower surface formed on the opposite side of the seat surface 121 is formed as a fixing surface for assembly to the shielding portion 103.

[0050] The sofa 100 is constructed by assembling the seat portion 102 to the shielding portion 103. As shown in Figures 8 and 9, the shielding portion 103 is constructed as a screen formed by a frame 131 and a shielding body 132. The frame 131 is made of metal pipes and is a frame that defines the external shape of the shielding portion 103. In this embodiment, the shielding portion 103 can be easily constructed by constructing the shielding body 132 with upholstery stretched over the frame 131. Casters 104 are provided at the lower end of the frame 131. The casters 104 allow users of the sofa 100 to easily move the sofa 100.

[0051] As shown in Figures 8 to 11, the frame 131 (shielding portion 103) is open at the front and widens in the left-right direction towards the front, forming an inverted U-shape in plan view. The shielding body 132 is placed over the outer surface of the frame 131, thereby forming a shielding portion 103 in which the frame 131 and the shielding body 132 are integrated. In this embodiment, the frame 131 is made of a metal pipe to increase the rigidity of the shielding portion 103.

[0052] Handle portions 131a and 131a are exposed at the left and right front ends of the frame 131, oriented vertically. Each handle portion 131a is formed from a long member and is formed on the frame 131 in a position where its longitudinal direction is vertical. As shown in Figure 10, the handle portions 131a and 131a are positioned in front of the front end 102a of the seat portion 102.

[0053] As shown in Figure 9, a seat frame 131b for supporting the seat portion 102 is formed at the lower part of the frame 131. The seat portion 102 is placed on the seat frame 131b, and the fixing surface of the seat portion 102 is fixed to the seat frame 131b with fasteners such as screws (not shown). As a result, the seat portion 102 is stably assembled to the frame 131, and the seat portion 102 is integrated with the shielding portion 103 in a stable position.

[0054] In the sofa 100 according to this embodiment, shielding parts 103 are provided at the rear and sides of the seat 102, thereby forming a surface (shielding body 132) that can shield at least a portion of the area behind and to the sides of a person sitting on the seat 102. As a result, a person using the sofa 100 can block the view from outside behind and to the sides, thereby securing a personal space. Furthermore, when a person using the sofa 100 is reading or working, external information such as sound and light from behind and to the sides of the sofa 100 can be blocked, allowing them to concentrate on their work. In addition, when a person using the sofa 100 is conducting a web conference, the shielding parts 103 can prevent the situation behind the sofa 100 from being reflected on the screen.

[0055] In the sofa 100 according to this embodiment, the upper end of the shielding portion 103 is located at a height of four times or more the height of the seat surface 121 of the seat portion 102. Specifically, as shown in Figure 11, the second height H2, which is the height of the shielding portion 103, is formed to be four times or more the seat surface height Hs, which is the height of the seat surface 121. As a result, a person sitting on the sofa 100 can be sufficiently shielded from the view from the rear and sides of the sofa, and external information from the rear and sides of the sofa 100 can be sufficiently blocked.

[0056] As shown in Figures 8 to 11, a movable table 105 usable by a seated person is provided at the front of the sofa 100 according to this embodiment. The movable table 105 consists of a support column member 151, a support member 152, a fixing plate 153, and a tabletop 154.

[0057] In the sofa 100 according to this embodiment, the support member 151 comprises a support column 151a provided along the vertical direction, a connecting portion 151b extending horizontally from the upper end of the support column 151a, and a fixing portion 151c extending horizontally from the lower middle portion of the support column 151a. The fixing portion 151c is fixed to the seat frame 131b. As a result, the movable table 105 is integrally assembled with the frame 131 of the shielding portion 103.

[0058] A support member 152 is rotatably connected to the tip of the connecting portion 151b. A top plate 154 is provided on the tip of the support member 152 via a fixing plate 153. The fixing plate 153 is rotatably assembled to the support member 152. Specifically, as shown in Figures 10(a) and (b), the tip of the connecting portion 151b and the base end of the support member 152 are rotatable around a first pivot axis A1 oriented in the vertical direction. In addition, the tip of the support member 152 and the fixing plate 153 are rotatable around a second pivot axis A2 oriented in the vertical direction.

[0059] As described above, in the movable table 105 of the sofa 100, the tabletop 154 ​​is supported on the support column member 151 via a support member 152. The support member 152 is supported on the support column member 151 so as to be rotatable around a first pivot axis A1 in the vertical direction. Furthermore, the tabletop 154 ​​is supported on the support member 152 via a fixing plate 153 so as to be rotatable around a second pivot axis A2 in the vertical direction.

[0060] As described above, in the sofa 100 according to this embodiment, a movable table 105 equipped with a tabletop 154 ​​is integrally assembled with the shielding part 103. Therefore, users of the sofa 100 do not need to prepare a separate table or the like to place a computer or documents on, and can always use the tabletop 154.

[0061] Furthermore, in the sofa 100 according to this embodiment, the support member 152 of the movable table 105 is supported by the connecting portion 151b of the support column member 151 so as to be rotatable around a first rotation axis A1 oriented in the vertical direction. This makes it possible to change the relative angle between the seat portion 102 and the tabletop 154, enabling users of the sofa 100 to easily sit down and get up.

[0062] Furthermore, in the sofa 100 according to this embodiment, the tabletop 154 ​​of the movable table 105 is supported by a support member 152 so as to be rotatable around a second pivot axis A2 oriented in the vertical direction. As a result, as shown in Figures 10(a) and (b), the distance between the seat 102 and the tabletop 154 ​​can be changed without changing the relative angle between the seat 102 and the tabletop 154.

[0063] The sofa 100 according to this embodiment is formed to have the same shape as the sofa 1 according to the first embodiment in a plan view. Therefore, the sofa 100 can also be made more compact in terms of the space required for placement in the area used by the sitter. In other words, by not providing the rear corners which are not used by the sitter, the space required for placement of the sofa 100 in a plan view can be reduced.

[0064] Furthermore, in the sofa 100 according to this embodiment, similar to the sofa 1 according to the first embodiment, handle portions 131a, 131a are provided on the left and right front ends of the frame 131, extending vertically. This allows users of the sofa 100 to move the sofa 100 without having to hold the seat portion 102 or the shielding body 132, and instead to hold the handle portions 131a. This helps to prevent soiling and damage to the seat portion 102 and the shielding body 132 when moving the sofa 100.

[0065] Furthermore, in the sofa 100 according to this embodiment, even when a user facing the sofa 100 moves the sofa 100 towards them, they can still hold the handle portion 131a. In other words, since the user can easily move the sofa 100, the mobility of the sofa 100 by the user can be improved.

[0066] [Other variations] The above embodiment can be modified as appropriate, as shown in the following modifications. Each modification may be applied in combination with other modifications, provided that no inconsistencies arise.

[0067] In the fixture according to the present invention, instead of the screen used in the above embodiment, a panel body composed of one or more plate-like members can also be used as the shielding part.

[0068] Furthermore, the handle portion of the fixture can be integrated with the seat portion. Even in this case, users of the fixture can move it by holding the handle portion, thus preventing soiling and damage to the seat portion and shielding portion.

[0069] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the seat is assembled to the shielding part, but it is also possible to assemble the shielding part to a seat that can be placed on the floor. In this case, legs are separately provided on the seat, and casters are placed at the lower ends of the legs.

[0070] Furthermore, as a shielding portion in the fixture according to the present invention, a roof-shaped plate member can be provided above the seat portion. In addition, the third surface P3 of the shielding portion can have a shape that protrudes to the rear in a plan view (for example, a V-shape with a bent rear end).

[0071] Furthermore, in the furniture according to the present invention, the movable table can be assembled to a location other than the underside of the seat.
