Japanese Patent No. 4995872 JP 2007-29134 A JP 2004-129807 A

  In view of the current state of known multipurpose furniture, the present invention can be used for at least two types of applications in the original form without adding or subtracting components or changing the combination of components. The purpose is to provide furniture for use.

  The configuration of the multipurpose furniture of the present invention made for the purpose of solving the above-mentioned problem is that the seat portion is composed of two divided members which are divided into two at the central portion as viewed from the plane and the dividing line has a width. A main leg member that is disposed on the lower surface of at least both ends in the longitudinal direction of the dividing member and that supports the dividing member and is substantially parallel or substantially tapered in front view, and a dividing line of the dividing member An auxiliary leg member that is disposed on the lower surface of the outer peripheral end portion of the divided member that is substantially orthogonal to support the divided member, and uses the upper surface of the seat portion as a seat surface of the chair, and the divided member A panel body such as a whiteboard is inserted between the members and between the two main leg members, and is used as a support stand for the panel body.

  Each of the main and sub-leg members has a lower end portion coupled to a stable ring made of an annular wire, so that stability as a chair or a stand is enhanced. The annular shape in this case may be a polygon as well as a circle.

  In addition, the division member is formed of a flat plate member made of wood, plastic, metal or the like, and the main and sub-leg members are formed of a pipe material or a thin bar member, thereby reducing weight as furniture, Produces a lightweight appearance.

  The multi-purpose furniture of the present invention can be stacked by changing the phase viewed from the plane with the left-right width pitch formed by the two main leg collecting materials, or can be stacked in the same phase without shifting the phase of the main leg collecting materials. Because it can, storage space efficiency when not in use is high.

  In the multi-purpose furniture of the present invention, the two main leg members having a generally tapered shape when viewed from the front, and the secondary leg members arranged in a direction perpendicular to the main leg members with respect to the seat portion are provided on the back side or the outer periphery side of the seat portion. Both leg members can be formed in a continuous form, that is, in a single-stroke form. Since the leg member of the one-stroke writing form has one part as a leg, it does not require time and effort to mount the leg member, and a rational mounting operation can be performed.

  The furniture according to the present invention includes a seat portion composed of two divided members that are divided into two at a substantially central portion when viewed from the plane and have a width in the dividing line, and at least both longitudinal ends of the dividing line in the divided member. Two main leg members that are arranged on the lower surface and support the split member in a front view that are substantially parallel or substantially tapered, and an end portion on the outer periphery side of the split member that is substantially orthogonal to the split line of the split member Since the seat portion can be used as a seat portion of a chair (stool) as it is, the seat portion can be used as a seat portion. If a panel body such as a whiteboard is inserted into the substantially U-shaped or substantially V-shaped portion of the main leg member disposed below, it can function as a support stand that holds the panel body in a standing posture.

When a plurality of stands holding the panel body are arranged in the left-right direction, the aligned panel body can be regarded as almost a wall surface. The panel body can easily cope with this.
If the panel body held here is a display board, it can be installed as a signage.

  Next, an embodiment of the multipurpose furniture of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

1 to 5 show a stool (chair without a backrest, hereinafter referred to as “chair” in this specification) as an example of the multipurpose furniture of the present invention.
In FIG. 1 to FIG. 5, reference numeral 1 is a seat portion having a substantially circular shape in plan view. In the example shown in the drawing, a flat wooden member is arranged in a circular shape, and divided into two divided members P1 and P2 on the substantially circular diameter. The dividing line is formed in a bottomless tapered groove Pv having tapered side walls Pa and Pb having appropriate left and right widths. The material of the seat portion 1 is not limited to wood, and may be made of plastic, metal, or a hybrid of these composites.
Further, the planar shape of the seat portion 1 may be other than a circle. For example, it may be a polygon such as a square.

Reference numerals 2 and 3 denote main leg members that support the divided members P1 and P2 from below at both ends in the longitudinal direction of the tapered groove Pv, which is a dividing line of the divided members P1 and P2.
The main leg members 2 and 3 positioned at both ends of the taper groove Pv illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 5 are such that the upper ends of the left and right vertical members are horizontally connected portions 2a and 3a along the groove Pv. Are formed into a single main leg member 2 and 3 having a substantially inverted U shape as a whole.

  4 and 5 are joined to the midpoints of the horizontal connecting portions 2a and 3a of the main leg members 2 and 3, respectively, and the tip portions of the horizontal portions 4a and 5a are joined, and the split members P1 and This is a secondary leg member that extends the horizontal portions 4a and 5a in a direction perpendicular to the tapered groove Pv in P2 and extends downward from the outer peripheral edge of the seat portion 1 by approximately 90 degrees. Here, the auxiliary leg members 4 and 5 have a single structure, but they can also be in the form of two parallel like the main leg members 2 and 3.

  In the example shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, the lower end portions of the main leg members 2 and 3 and the lower end portions of the auxiliary leg members 4 and 5 are respectively approximately 45 degrees to 90 degrees outward. The bent end portions 2b, 3b, 4b, and 5b are joined to the inner peripheral surface of the ring-shaped stable ring 6 and integrated with the stable ring 6. The shape of the stability ring 6 is not limited to a circle, but may be a polygon such as a quadrangle.

  A chair (stool) ST which is an example of the multipurpose furniture of the present invention is formed by the above description with reference to FIGS. This chair ST can be used as a supporting stand for the whiteboard WB illustrated in FIG. 6 as it is as a completely different form of use without changing the components. Hereinafter, the use of the support stand will be described.

  The chair ST illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 5 includes a taper groove Pv formed by dividing lines of the divided members P1 and P2 in the seat portion 1, and a length direction in the tapered groove Pv of the divided members P1 and P2. The vertical parallel grooves G formed by the main leg members 2 and 3 located at both ends of the same exist in the same vertical plane.

  Therefore, in the present invention, the lower portion of the whiteboard WB is disposed between the horizontal taper groove Pv of the seat portion 1 in the same vertical plane and the vertical groove G formed by the substantially parallel main leg members 2 and 3. By inserting the side, the white board WB can be used as a stand for a panel body that supports the white board WB in a substantially vertical posture.

  Here, the width of the horizontal taper groove Pv and the width of the vertical groove G formed by the main leg members 2 and 3 are substantially the same width, while the maximum thickness portion of the whiteboard WB, for example, the thickness dimension of the frame A slightly larger width is formed. This is because the whiteboard WB can be easily inserted and removed. With respect to this point, the side walls Pa and Pb of the tapered groove Pv are also opened in a tapered shape on the side walls Pa and Pb.

  In the multipurpose furniture of the present invention described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 6, the form of the chair (stool) ST can be the form illustrated in FIG. 7. This point will be described with reference to FIG. 7. In FIG. 7, the same members and the same parts as those in FIGS.

In the chair ST of FIG. 7, the main leg members 2 and 3 are not substantially parallel as in the chair ST of the above embodiment, but are formed in a tapered shape. In the example of FIG. 7, the two auxiliary leg members 41, 42 are formed by the same 51, 52, and the two auxiliary leg members are formed in the same manner as the tapered shape of the main leg members 2, 3. The members 41 and 42 and 51 and 52 are also tapered.
Since the main leg members 2 and 3 and the auxiliary leg members 41, 42, 51 and 52 adopt this tapered arrangement form, each of the leg members has a lower surface or a lower surface of the seat portion 1 as illustrated in FIG. In the side surface, the upper end portion of each member is connected to be one member along the outer periphery of the seat portion 1.

  The chair (stool) ST shown in FIG. 7 is also formed in the tapered groove Pv formed by the dividing line of the dividing members P1 and P2 in the seat portion 1 and the tapered groove Gt formed by the tapered main leg members 2 and 3. Since the panel body Wp illustrated in FIG. 8 can be inserted and supported in a standing posture, it can be used as a support stand for the panel body Wp. Although not shown, the lower ends of the main and sub-leg members of the chair ST desired to be shown in FIG. 7 can be combined and integrated with the stabilizing ring 6.

  As an example, the use of the support stand by the furniture of the present invention shown in FIGS. 6 and 8 can be formed in a wall shape by arranging a plurality of whiteboards WB and panel bodies Wp as illustrated in FIG. When it is necessary to partition a large room, the partition function can be easily and quickly formed, which is very convenient.

  FIG. 10 shows the chair ST of the furniture of the present invention described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 6, when the white board WB is inserted into and removed from the tapered groove Pv and groove G, the surface of the board WB becomes the groove Pv or G When the chair (stool) ST shown in FIGS. 1 to 5 is stacked, the horizontal portions of the leg members 2a, 3a, 4a, and 5a are placed on the surface of the seat portion 1. It is sectional drawing which showed the example of the flaw prevention pad Dp provided in order that a lower surface may contact | abut and may not make a damage | wound on the surface of the seat part 1. FIG.

  The wound pad Dp is fitted from below to the horizontal portions 2a and 3a of the main leg members 2 and 3 and the horizontal portions 4a and 5a of the auxiliary leg members 4 and 5 arranged on the back surface of the seat portion 1. For attachment, it is formed of a rubber or plastic elastic member having a substantially U-shaped cross section.

  The lower surface d1 of the pad Dp functions as a stopper against the surface of the seat portion 1 of the lower chair ST when the chair ST is stacked. Further, the opposed front surface d2 of the pad Dp attached to the horizontal portions 2a and 3a of the main leg members 2 and 3 also serves as a guide for a panel body such as a whiteboard WB to be inserted and removed, and damages the panel body surface. Acts as a prevention pad.

  Since the present invention is as described above, versatile furniture having a use as a chair as a stool and a support stand for a panel body that holds a panel body including a whiteboard in an almost upright posture is extremely simple. Can be realized with stool-like furniture of structure.
