Description

Interior furniture

[0001] The present invention relates to interior furniture, and more particularly, to interior furniture that can be used as an entrance structure and storage box for separating an indoor space.

[0002] Arched designs are widely used in interior furniture and doors due to the relaxed, smooth stability and beauty their curves impart. Examples include front doorways, sliding doors in separate living rooms, or multipurpose rooms. Arched sliding doors have been proposed in Republic of Korea Utility Model Publication No. 20-1999-0033410 (Design Title: Arched Sliding Door).

[0003] Meanwhile, arched entrances are increasingly being used indoors, as they maintain a sense of openness while separating two spaces without requiring a door, and furthermore, they enhance the aesthetics of the interior. Figure 1 shows an example of an interior with an arched entrance. As shown in Figure 1, arched entrances are frequently used in places such as the main entrance, the entrance separating the living room and kitchen, or the entrance to a dressing room.

[0004] Meanwhile, the aforementioned arched entrance is installed by constructing a new arch-shaped partition wall during interior renovations during new construction or remodeling. Therefore, this process requires significant time and labor, and can generate significant noise during construction.

[0005] The problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide interior furniture that is easy to assemble and change in structure, has excellent space utilization, and has an excellent appearance.

[0006] An interior furniture according to the present invention comprises a storage unit including a pair of side panels formed vertically long and spaced apart from each other while facing each other, a back panel coupled to the back of the pair of side panels, and a support plate installed horizontally between the pair of side panels, and a wall panel having a vertical side surface, an upper horizontal side surface extending horizontally from an upper end of the vertical side surface, and an arched side surface connecting an end of the upper horizontal side surface and a lower end of the vertical side surface, and having a semi-arched shape that vertically bisects the arched shape, and characterized in that the side panel and the wall panel can be coupled in a first coupling manner in which the wall panel and the side panel are coupled in parallel at a front end of the side panel, and a second coupling manner in which the wall panel and the side panel are coupled orthogonally at a front end of the side panel.

[0007] According to the present invention, the storage unit is provided with two units and installed spaced apart from each other, the wall panel is installed in each storage unit, and two wall panels installed in different storage units are paired to form a completed arch-shaped structure, and it is preferable that the wall panel further includes a fastening plate that connects the two paired wall panels.

[0008] In addition, according to the present invention, the side panel is provided with a receiving groove that is concavely formed in a rearward direction from the front surface of the side panel, and a catch protrusion that protrudes inwardly from both edges of the front surface of the side panel, and the wall panel is provided with a fastening protrusion that has a protrusion that protrudes from the vertical side surface toward the side panel and an extension that extends outwardly from an end of the protrusion, and it is preferable that the side panel and the wall panel are fastened in the first fastening manner by interlocking the catch protrusion of the side panel and the fastening protrusion of the wall panel.

[0009] In addition, according to the present invention, a connecting block is disposed in the receiving groove, which is formed in a rectangular parallelepiped shape and has a connecting groove portion having a shape corresponding to a connecting projection of the wall panel, and the connecting block is installed so as to be able to protrude outward from the receiving groove through the front of the side panel, and it is preferable that the side panel and the wall panel are connected in the second connecting manner by inserting the connecting projection of the wall panel into the connecting groove portion of the connecting block while the connecting block protrudes outward from the side panel.

[0010] In addition, according to the present invention, in the side panel, the catches are preferably arranged in a plurality of positions spaced apart from each other along the vertical direction, and in the wall panel, the fastening protrusions are preferably arranged in a plurality of positions spaced apart from each other along the vertical direction.

[0011] In addition, according to the present invention, it is preferable that one of the pair of side panels in the storage unit is detachably connected to the rear panel and the support panel, and that the wall panel is connected to the detachably connected side panel.

[0012] According to one embodiment of the present invention, an interior furniture piece can be easily and simply installed indoors with an arched entrance structure, even without interior construction. Furthermore, by configuring the frame supporting the wall panel in the form of a storage cabinet, space utilization and external aesthetics can be improved. Furthermore, when the wall panel and the storage cabinet are joined together, the joining portion is not only not exposed to the outside, but also does not require screws or screws, thereby significantly improving the external aesthetics and facilitating the installation process.

[0013] In addition, according to one embodiment of the technical idea of ​​the present invention, the interior furniture can be combined into two structures, a wall panel and a storage unit, and thus can be installed in an appropriate form according to the interior structure, and further, the interior atmosphere can be drastically changed by changing the arched structure while living.

[0027] Referring to FIGS. 2 to 9, an interior furniture according to one embodiment of the technical idea of ​​the present invention provides an arched entrance that separates two spaces in an interior and a storage unit that can increase space utilization.

[0028] Interior furniture (1000) according to the present embodiment may be configured to include a storage unit (100) and a wall panel (200).

[0029] The storage unit (100) fully functions as a conventional storage unit, such as for storing items or displaying decorative items, while also serving as a frame to which a wall panel (200) is attached. At this time, the storage unit (100) must support the wall panel, and it is preferable that the storage unit (100) be firmly fixed to a wall or floor. The storage unit (100) according to the present embodiment includes a side panel (110), a rear panel (120), and a support plate (130).

[0030] The side panel (110) has a rectangular flat plate shape and is formed long in the vertical direction. A pair of side panels (110) are provided, and the pair of side panels are arranged facing each other and spaced apart. The rear panel (120) is formed in the shape of a rectangular plate and is joined to the rear of the two side panels. The support plate (130) is formed in the shape of a plate and is installed horizontally between the pair of side panels (110). The support plates (130) are installed in multiple numbers spaced apart in the vertical direction, and divide the space and support stored items. In addition, the upper and lower portions of the side panel (110) can be joined to the upper and lower plates.

[0031] Although not shown in the drawing, an additional door may be installed on the front of the cabinet. Regarding the door structure, a single door may be configured to open and close the entire cabinet, or multiple doors may be installed to allow each storage space to be opened and closed individually. Furthermore, the door operation method may vary, such as a revolving door or a sliding door.

[0032] Meanwhile, the side panel (110) has a characteristic structure for connection with the wall panel (200) described later, which will be described below. First, as illustrated in FIG. 6, the side panel (110) has a receiving groove (111) and a catch (112). The receiving groove (111) is formed concavely toward the rear from the front side (i.e., the front end) of the side panel, and has an overall rectangular cross-sectional shape. The catch (112) is formed to protrude inward by a certain length from both edges of the front side of the side panel.

[0033] And, a connecting block (400) is provided in the receiving groove (111) of the side panel. The connecting block (400) is formed to have a rectangular parallelepiped shape corresponding to the receiving groove. The connecting block (400) is formed to be slightly narrower than the width between the catching protrusions (112) of the side panel, and thus, the connecting block (400) can protrude from the inside of the receiving groove to the outside through the catching protrusions (112) of the front side of the side panel (see Fig. 7). And, a base block (410) is connected to the rear end of the connecting block, and when the connecting block (400) protrudes to the outside, the base block (410) is caught on the catching protrusion, thereby preventing the connecting block (400) from being detached. In addition, a fastening groove (401) is provided on one side of the connecting block, and this fastening groove is formed in a shape corresponding to a fastening projection (211) described later.

[0034] Meanwhile, the above-mentioned receiving grooves, catches and connecting blocks are provided in multiple numbers, and it is preferable that they are installed at multiple points spaced apart from each other in the vertical direction on the side panel (110) as shown in FIG. 9.

[0035] The wall panel (200) is for forming an arched entrance. The wall panel (200) includes a vertical side (210), an upper horizontal side (220), and an arched side (230). The vertical side (210) is formed in a vertical direction. The upper horizontal side (220) is formed to extend in one horizontal direction from the upper end of the vertical side (210). The arched side (230) is formed to connect the end of the upper horizontal side (220) and the lower end of the vertical side (210). Accordingly, the wall panel has a semi-arched shape, which is a shape that vertically bisects an arch shape.

[0036] A wall panel having this shape can be constructed using a frame bar. The frame bar preferably has a rectangular cross-section and is made of a material with high strength. Furthermore, if the vertical side, upper horizontal side, and arched side are manufactured using the frame bar, the wall panel takes the form of a frame having a semi-arched shape. Here, plywood or wood boards of a corresponding shape can be combined inside the frame, and, if necessary, it can also be constructed in a mesh form.

[0037] As illustrated in Fig. 6, a fastening projection (211) for connection with a side panel (110) is provided on the wall panel (200). The fastening projection (211) is composed of a protrusion (2111) and an extension (2112). The protrusion (2111) is formed to protrude from the vertical side surface (210) of the wall panel toward the side panel (110), and the extension (2112) is formed to extend outward from the end of the protrusion (2111). The above-described fastening projections (211) are provided in plurality, and as illustrated in Fig. 9, they are preferably installed at a plurality of points spaced apart from each other in the vertical direction on the vertical side surface (210) of the wall panel.

[0038] Meanwhile, since the above-described single wall panel has a semi-arched structure, as illustrated in FIG. 3, when installed indoors, two wall panels (200) are installed as a pair to form a complete arched structure. In addition, when the two wall panels (200) are paired to form an arched shape, it is preferable that the two wall panels be fastened by a fastening plate (300). The fastening plate (300) is formed in a plate shape and has a longitudinal through-hole formed long in the horizontal direction. In addition, when the fastening plate (300) is attached to the two wall panels (200) and a screw or piece, etc. is fastened through the longitudinal through-hole, the two wall panels (200) are connected by the fastening plate (300). At this time, the space between the two wall panels (200) may be variable to some extent depending on the interior structure of the building, and accordingly, the present invention can flexibly respond to this by forming a longitudinal through hole in the fastening plate (300).

[0039] For reference, in the case of Fig. 3, a total of four wall panels are installed in pairs of two to form a double arch-shaped structure, but as shown in Fig. 5, only one arch-shaped structure may be installed.

[0040] Below, the method of joining the wall panel (200) to the side panel (110), i.e., the first joining method and the second joining method, will be described.

[0041] The first joining method is a method in which a wall panel (200) is installed parallel to the side panel (110) on the front side as illustrated in FIGS. 2 and 3 (in essence, the wall panel and the side panel form the same plane). In the first joining method, as illustrated in (A) of FIG. 6, a joining block (400) is placed inside a receiving groove (111), and as illustrated in (B) of FIG. 6, a hook-and-loop (112) of the side panel and a fastening projection (211) of the wall panel are interlocked to form a mutual joining.

[0042] At this time, as shown in Fig. 9, the vertical side surface (210) of the wall panel and the side panel (110) are positioned facing each other (Fig. 9 (a)), the wall panel and the side panel are slightly misaligned in the vertical direction and then pressed against each other (Fig. 9 (b)), and in this state, when the vertical side surface (210) of the wall panel is pushed up, the catch (112) and the fastening projection (211) are engaged, and the wall panel and the side panel are combined (Fig. 9 (c)).

[0043] For reference, the part indicated by the dotted line in Fig. 9 is a shallow groove (115) formed so that the fastening protrusion of the wall panel can be inserted when the wall panel and the side panel are misaligned, as shown in Fig. 9 (b). This groove is not an essential component and may be formed as needed for ease of joining.

[0044] The second joining method is a method in which the wall panel (200) is installed perpendicular to the side panel (110) on the front of the side panel, as illustrated in FIGS. 4 and 5. In the second joining method, as illustrated in FIG. 7, when the joining block (400) protrudes outside the receiving groove (111) ((A) of FIG. 7), and the fastening projection (211) of the wall panel is inserted into the fastening groove (401) of the joining block ((B) of FIG. 7), the wall panel and the side panel are joined using the second joining method. At this time, as in the first joining method, the wall panel and the side panel may be brought into close contact with each other while being slightly misaligned in the vertical direction, and the wall panel may be pushed up in this state.

[0045] Meanwhile, when combined using the second combination method, the upper surface of the combination block (400) is exposed to the outside, and since this part has unevenness, it is not only dangerous but can also be a factor that reduces the external aesthetics. Therefore, in the present invention, a finishing cap (500) having the shape shown in Fig. 8 can be additionally provided, and by fitting this finishing cap (500) to the relevant part, the external finish can be made smooth.

[0046] As described above, according to the present invention, an arched entrance structure can be easily and simply installed indoors without requiring interior construction. Furthermore, by configuring the frame supporting the wall panels in the form of a storage cabinet, space utilization and external aesthetics can be improved. Furthermore, when the wall panels and the storage cabinet are joined together, the joints are not exposed to the outside and no screws or screws are used. This not only significantly enhances the external aesthetics but also simplifies the installation process.

[0047] In addition, according to the present invention, the wall panel and the storage unit can be combined into two structures, and thus can be installed in an appropriate form according to the interior structure, and further, the interior atmosphere can be drastically changed by changing the arched structure while living.

[0048] Meanwhile, in the above-described embodiment, the wall panel and the storage box are configured to be interlocked and connected using their own connecting structure. However, the wall panel may also be connected to the storage box using screws or pieces.

[0049] In addition, the invention can be configured such that one of the side panels of a pair of side panels constituting the storage unit is detachably connected to the rear panel and the support plate. At this time, a detachable connection structure can be configured by using a method such as screw connection of the side panel and the rear panel. In addition, the invention is configured such that a wall panel is connected to the side panel. Then, when connecting the wall panel to the side panel, the side panel and the wall panel can be connected while the side panel is separated from the storage unit, and thus the wall panel can be easily installed.

[0050] As described above, the best practice embodiments have been disclosed in the drawings and specifications. While specific terminology has been used herein, it is solely for the purpose of describing the present invention and is not intended to limit the scope of the invention as defined in the claims. Therefore, those skilled in the art will understand that various modifications and equivalent embodiments are possible. Accordingly, the true technical protection scope of the present invention should be defined by the technical spirit of the appended claims.
