  DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of a table and furniture according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIG. 1, the tabletop furniture 2 according to the present invention includes a placing tool 8 and a sitting tool 8. The placing tool 8 includes a top plate 4 and legs 6 that support the top plate 4 raised on the floor. The sitting tool 10 is placed on the top plate 4 of the placing tool 8. The sitting tool 10 has a seat portion 12 and a back portion 14, and includes a cushion 16. The sitting tool 10 is placed on the placing tool 8 with the back bottom surface 11 of the sitting tool 10 opposed to the upper surface 13 of the top plate 4. The cushion 16 is mainly formed of a cushion material such as sponge, elastic foam, stuffing, or spring. The cushion 16 is often used by being covered with a sheet of cloth, leather, or the like.

  The sitting tool 10 is long in the width direction and has a width that allows several people to sit side by side. In this specification, a sitting tool is defined as one used when a person sits with a seat and a back, including a seat that has a width that allows several people to sit side by side.

  The table-and-table furniture 2 of the present invention can be used as a chaise longue or a sofa that allows several people to sit side by side when the sitting tool 10 (cushion 16) is placed on the top board 4. When the cushion 16 is placed on the floor, the table 8 can be used as a table, the table 10 can be used as a chair, and the table and chair can be used as a set.

  When the sitting tool 10 (cushion 16) is disposed on the top plate 4, the height H from the floor to the seating surface 27 of the seating portion 12 (the upper surface of the seating portion 12) is preferably 30 cm to 60 cm. This is a comfortable height when used as a sofa. More preferably, H is 40 to 50 cm. Most preferably, H is 43 to 47 cm.

  The upper surface 13 of the top plate 4 and the back bottom surface 11 of the sitting tool 10 (cushion 16) have substantially the same contour shape. Therefore, when the sitting tool 10 (cushion 16) is placed on the top board, the table-and-table furniture 2 formed by combining the two with no abnormal protrusions or steps does not have a sense of unity. . Therefore, it looks good when the table-and-table furniture 2 of the present invention is used as a sofa.

  When the sitting tool 10 is placed on the placing tool 8 with the back side surface 15 of the back portion 14 opposed to the top surface 13 of the top plate 4, the top surface 13 of the top plate 4 and the back side surface 15 of the sitting tool 10 However, it is preferable that the contour shapes are substantially the same.

  The top surface 13 of the top plate 4 and the back bottom surface 11 of the sitting tool 10 (cushion 16) may be flat over the entire surface, but as shown in FIG. 2, a step may be provided at each edge. In the cross-sectional view of FIG. 2, a step 40 is provided at the edge of the back bottom surface 11c of the sitting tool 10c (cushion 16c) so as to surround the back bottom surface 11c and cut out the edge, and the edge of the top surface 13c of the top plate 4c. A ridge-shaped stepped portion 42 surrounding the upper surface 13c is provided along the edge portion. The raised portion of the back bottom surface 11c of the sitting tool 10 (cushion 16) surrounded by the stepped portion 40 is fitted into the portion of the upper surface 13c surrounded by the ridge-shaped stepped portion 42, and the sitting tool 10c (cushion 16c). Is placed on the upper surface 13c. Such a fitting mode can prevent the sitting tool 10c (cushion 16c) from slipping on the upper surface 13c and being displaced or dropped.

The back bottom surface of the cushion 16 b configured by combining the armrest cushion 28 and the unit seat 22 has the same shape as the top surface of the top plate 4. This aspect is also realized by using a cushion body of the same type as the unit sitting tool 22 as an armrest cushion in the direction opposite to the unit sitting tool 22.

  Thus, the direction of the unit sitting tool 22 can be changed according to the case. As shown in FIG. 1, if all the unit seats 22 are oriented in the same direction, it becomes a sofa where several people can sit at a time, and the unit seat 22 of one end as shown in the table-top furniture 2 b in FIG. 7. If you change the direction and use the armrest cushion 28, a small number of people will sit comfortably, and it will become a sofa with an armrest cushion. Furthermore, if you change the orientation of the unit seats at both ends to make each armrest cushion, Furthermore, it becomes a sofa with armrest cushions on both sides that you can sit comfortably. The armrest cushion may be disposed at the center of the sofa. As described above, the table-and-table furniture of the present invention can provide a sofa in which the position of the armrest can be changed according to the number of persons to be seated and the status of the person.

  In order to realize such an embodiment, the unit sitting tool 22 is composed of a cushion body having a shape in which the two cubes or the rectangular parallelepipeds having the same width are connected to form a side-face shape as shown in FIG. It is preferable.

  In the tabletop furniture according to the present invention, a heater may be provided on the lower surface of the top plate 4. By providing a heater, the table can be used as a bowl. The heater may be detachable so that the heater can be provided when necessary. The heater used is preferably a heater that generates far infrared rays. In this way, the table and furniture of the present invention can be used as a table in summer and as a basket in winter. Furthermore, it can be used as a set of bags and seats.

  The table-and-table furniture of the present invention may be one in which the legs 6 can be folded. Alternatively, the leg 6 may be capable of changing the length. It is also possible to change the length of the legs by preparing and replacing a plurality of legs having different lengths. Alternatively, one leg is composed of a plurality of cylindrical bodies, and the plurality of cylindrical bodies are configured such that another cylindrical body is accommodated in one cylindrical body, and the other cylinders are formed from the inside of the one cylindrical body. Slide the body. Thus, the aspect which adjusts the length of the leg 6 may be sufficient.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 8, the leg 6 e is composed of a base leg 60 and a detachable leg 62 fixed directly to the lower surface of the top plate 4, and a lower end portion 66 of the base leg 60 is a fitting hole on the upper surface of the detachable leg 62. 68 may be removably inserted.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the leg 6f is composed of a base leg 60f and a detachable leg 62f fixed directly to the lower surface of the top plate 4, and a screw hole 70 is provided on the lower end surface of the base leg 60f. The base leg 60f and the detachable leg 62f may be detachably coupled by screwing a screw-like protrusion 72 provided on the upper surface of the boss into the screw hole 70.

  In the present invention, the placing tool 8 and the sitting tool 10 placed thereon may be locked using a locking tool (not shown). By locking, the seated chair is not easily displaced. The locking tool may be composed of a hook mounted on the placing tool 8 and a locked child mounted on the seat chair. It is preferable that the locking tool is provided on the side surface side or the rear surface side of the sitting tool 10.
