Front view of the furniture. A rear view of the furniture. The sectional side view of the furniture. The principal part plane sectional view which shows the attachment structure to the drawing board of the mirror in the furniture.

  An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The furniture of the present embodiment is assumed to be used as a drawing board and desk in a facility for children such as a kindergarten and a nursery school. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, the furniture includes a pair of legs 1, a side plate 2 joined to the upper end of the leg 1, a drawing board 3 fixed to the front edge of the side board 2, and a lower side of the drawing board 3. The top plate 4 fixed between the left and right side plates 2 is a main component.

  There are four legs 1 in total, two on each of the left and right sides of the furniture, and each has a substantially C shape in side view.

  The side plate 2 has a substantially trapezoidal shape that is long in the vertical direction when viewed from the side, and its front edge is inclined backward, and its rear edge is inclined forward. In the present embodiment, the left two legs 1 and the left side plate 2 are integrally formed, and the right two legs 1 and the right side plate 2 are integrally formed. In other words, the left and right legs 1 and side plates 2 are integrally cut out from a single plate material. The front edge of the front leg 1 and the front edge of the side plate 2 continue in a straight line, and the rear edge of the rear leg 1 and the rear edge of the side plate 2 continue in a straight line.

  The drawing board 3 is supported in a state of being in contact with the rear edges of the both side boards 2 so as to straddle the left and right side boards 2, and stands upright in a rearward inclined posture along the front edges of the side boards 2. The left and right end portions of the drawing board 3 protrude slightly outward from the outer surfaces of the left and right side plates 2. At the lower end portion of the drawing board 3, a collar 31 protruding forward is provided. The collar 31 suppresses the drawing object such as drawing paper placed on the surface of the drawing board 3 from sliding down.

  The top plate 4 is supported in contact with the inner side surfaces of the left and right side plates 2, and extends to the back side of the drawing board 3 in a substantially horizontal posture. The rear end portion of the top plate 4 projects rearward from the rear edge of the side plate 2. The front end portion of the top plate 4 projects forward from the front edge of the side plate 2 and the lower end portion of the drawing board 3. Furthermore, the front-rear dimension of the top plate 4 is larger than the outer method of the front and rear legs 1. Further, a ridge 41 protruding or bulging upward is provided at the front end of the top plate 4. The ridges 41 prevent the tools 7 placed on the upper surface of the front end portion of the top plate 4 from collapsing.

  Each member of the leg 1, the side plate 2, the drawing plate 3, and the top plate 4 is manufactured using a wooden plywood, particularly a Chinese laminated core plywood.

  Thus, a mirror 5 is attached to the back surface of the drawing board 3 facing the top surface of the top plate 4. The mirror 5 is, for example, an acrylic mirror. When supplementing about the attachment structure of the mirror 5, as shown in FIG. 6, the recessed part for the thickness of the mirror 5 is formed in the back surface of the drawing board 3, and the mirror 5 is adhere | attached on the drawing board 3 while fitting the mirror 5 in the recessed part. A frame body 32 covering the four peripheral edges of the mirror 5 is arranged behind the mirror 5, and a plurality of positions of the frame body 32 are fastened to the back surface of the drawing board 3 with wood screws 33. A lid 34 is attached to the hole for inserting the wood screw 33 formed in the frame 32 and is closed later. Each of the frame body 32 and the lid 34 can be a member made of wood, particularly made of Chinese material. As a result of adopting such a structure, the mirror 5 does not fall even if the peripheral edge of the mirror 5 is weakened due to deterioration over time and is likely to peel off.

  The size of this furniture is set so that it can be easily used by children 2 to 6 years old. Specifically, the height of the upper edge of the drawing board 3 is about 1100 mm, the height of the lower edge is about 600 mm, the width of the drawing board 3 and the outer method of the left and right side plates 2 are about 500 mm, and the height of the upper surface of the top board 4. Is about 460 mm.

  As shown in FIG. 5, this furniture can be used simultaneously by two or more children 61 and 62 from both the front and rear sides. The first user 61 can draw a drawing or the like on the drawing board 3 exposed to the front, and draw a picture and characters. In addition, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a pencil, a crayon and other tools 7 used at that time can be placed on the front end of the top plate 4.

  In turn, the second user 62 can work using the area of the top plate 4 located behind the drawing board 3 as a desk. In this area, the front is blocked by the drawing board 3 and the side is blocked by the side board 2, so that the second user 62 can concentrate and immerse himself / herself in the work.

  In addition, for example, an adult third person 63 such as a guardian, a childcare worker, or a teacher does not disturb the work of the second user 62 from the rear of the second user 62 via the mirror 5. The situation on the top 4 can be asked. In addition, the mirror 5 is also intriguing for the child who is the second user 62 because his / her appearance is reflected. For example, the body and fingers, the tools you are using, the pictures you are drawing, the letters, etc. appear to be reversed left and right, upside down, or at a different angle than when looking directly without the mirror 5. The second user 62 is given an intellectual stimulus. Furthermore, it is possible for the second user 62 to take a glimpse of the surrounding situation and other works produced by the child through the mirror 5, which leads to inspiring the second user 62. .

  According to the present embodiment, the upright drawing board 3 that can be used by the first user 61 and the second user 62 that extends to the back side of the drawing board 3 are opposite to the first user 61. Since the furniture comprising the top plate 4 that can be used from the side is configured, the furniture can be used by the first user 61 and the second user 62 at the same time. And since this furniture can provide both the function as a drawing board and the function as a desk, each person can be used in a plurality of different modes.

  Since the drawing board 3 is tilted backward so as to face the top surface of the top board 4 and the mirror 5 is provided on the back side of the drawing board 3, the second user 62 is working on the top board 4. The situation can be viewed by the third party 63 through the mirror 5 from behind the second user.

  Further comprising side plates 2 that are spaced apart from each other and facing each other, and the top plate 4 is disposed between both side plates 2, the side plate 2 serves as a screen for the second user 62 to block the line of sight from the side, The concentration of the second user 62 on the work can be promoted.

  Since the drawing plate 3 is supported by the both side plates 2, there is no need to separately provide a member for supporting the drawing plate 3, which can contribute to a reduction in the number of constituent members.

  Since the both side plates 2 are integrated with the legs 1 that support the top plate 4, the number of constituent members can be further reduced and the number of assembly steps can be reduced.

  Since the front edge of the side plate 2 is an inclined edge inclined backward, and the drawing board 3 is fixed along the inclined edge, the structure of the entire furniture is simplified.

  Since the rear edge of the side plate 2 is an inclined edge that is inclined forward, a third party (usually an adult who looks into the shape from above) 63 tries to visually recognize the top plate 4 from obliquely behind. Sometimes, the line of sight is not obstructed by the side plate 2 and the mirror surface 5 is easily visible.

  Since the drawing board 3, the top board 4 and the side board 2 are each made of wood, the user can feel the warmth, which is preferable.

  Since the front end portion of the top plate 4 protrudes forward from the lower end portion of the drawing board 3, tools used by the first user 61 can be placed on the front edge portion of the top plate 4, Convenience is improved.

  The present invention is not limited to the embodiment described in detail above. In the above embodiment, a kindergarten child, a nursery school child, or the like is taken into consideration as a user. However, the present invention is not limited to such a child, and furniture for students or adults is also possible.

  Other specific configurations of each part can be variously modified without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

  The present invention can be used as a fixture in a child facility such as a kindergarten or a nursery school.
