Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a structure having an open space in which a person can freely interact with each other in a relatively wide space such as an office room and a papillon.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, with the aim of making offices open,
It has been advocated to activate communication, but it is a multipurpose space that divides a relatively large space such as an office room and papillon, a reception space for business talks with visitors, a collaboration space for sharing opinions, etc. When building a meeting space for simple meetings, a relaxing space for refreshing, or a library space where you can browse books, magazines, etc., in general, set up columns from the ceiling to the floor and cover the columns with walls. There are conventionally known ones in which a room is constructed in this way, ones in which a space is partitioned by a partition to obtain a required space, and the like.

[0003]

However, in any of the above-mentioned ones, since the required space is demarcated by the walls and partitions, the space structure constructed for the required purpose has a structure other than that of the outside. Since it is connected to the space in a relationship that is only partially opened, it is a completely open space structure for the purpose of activating communication by opening offices etc. There wasn't. In addition, the former space construction means that creates a room by columns and walls can provide a solid space, but there is a risk that the floor or ceiling will be partially damaged due to installation. In addition, the latter space construction means of partitioning with partitions has a drawback that it is extremely unstable with respect to external force because it is only a vertical partition, and the outer contour of the space cannot be firmly held. Was there.

The present invention has been made in view of such a situation, and a space structure constructed for a required purpose in order to open an office or the like is sufficiently opened to the outside space other than that. A structure that is connected in a closed relationship (hereinafter, such a space structure is defined as a “shared space structure”), which is robust and can take various shapes depending on the combination of the pole and the frame member, and The aim is to provide a shared space structure that will not damage anywhere in the room.

Is connected to a connecting member arranged at the center of a circle, and the other end is composed of a plurality of radially extending frame members connected to the pole and having the same length, and the arc frame member is the pole. The feature is that the upper ends are connected in an arc shape. According to this feature, a shared space structure can be constructed without damaging the ceiling, walls, etc. simply by combining the pole and the frame member, and since the upper part of the pole is firmly framed by the frame member, the structure itself moves. It is possible to provide a shared space structure which is robust without being deformed or deformed, and which has no pole at the center of the circular arc and is rich in usage space.

In the shared space structure of the present invention, it is preferable that the arc frame member is supported by the pole engaged with the linear frame member and an auxiliary pole other than the pole. In this way, the existence of the auxiliary pole makes it possible to obtain a robust and stable shared space structure.

In the shared space structure of the present invention, it is preferable that a blocking body is arranged between any adjacent poles and auxiliary poles. In this way, a partially closed office space can be constructed according to the purpose of using the shared space structure.

In the shared space structure of the present invention, it is preferable that the arcuate frame members are connected by a connecting member. By doing so, the arc frame member can be constructed as a divided unit body, so that not only the manufacturing is simplified and the cost is suppressed, but also the storage is easy.

It is preferable that the shared space structure of the present invention has a semicircular shape, a 3/4 circular shape or a circular shape in a top view by connecting a plurality of the arc frame members. In this way, a circular shared space structure rich in variability can be obtained according to the atmosphere of the room.

In the shared space structure of the present invention, it is preferable that the shared space structures separated from each other are connected to each other by sharing a pole, a connecting frame member, or both. According to this feature, it is possible to construct an expansive and convenient shared space structure.
