It has the front side connection part 32 and the rear side connection part 33, and the seat board receiving part 34 attached between a pair of pipe bodies 31. As shown in FIG.

The pipe body 31 includes a front pillar 41, a rear pillar 42, a lower pillar 43, and an upper pillar 44.
The front pillar 41 is located at the front portion of the pipe body 31 and has a length in the vertical direction.
The rear pillar 42 is located at the rear part of the pipe body 31 and has a length in the vertical direction. A thin portion 61 is formed on the upper portion of the rear pillar 42.

The thin portion 61 is formed to be thinner than a portion of the rear column 42 located outside the thin portion 61, that is, a portion below the thin portion 61 of the rear column 42.
The lower column 43 is located at the lower part of the pipe body 31 and connects the lower end of the front column 41 and the lower end of the rear column 42. The lower pillar 43 is a member having a columnar appearance, and is arranged along the floor surface on which the chair 1 is installed. A member having a columnar appearance means a member regardless of whether the inside is hollow or not, and is hollow in this embodiment.

  The lower pillar 43 has, on the lower surface, two concave portions 52 and a concave portion 53 that are recessed toward the upper side in a direction away from the floor surface than the surrounding portion. The recess 52 and the recess 53 are formed with an interval in the front-rear direction.

  The upper column 44 is located at the upper part of the pipe body 31, and connects the upper end of the front column 41 and the upper side of the rear column 42 slightly above the vertical center. The front column 41 and the upper column 44 are bent and connected via a bent portion 46 formed by bending a metal pipe. The rear end portion of the upper column 44 is connected to the rear connecting portion 33 by welding. The upper column 44 has a thick portion 62 on the front side and a thin portion 63 on the rear side.

  The thick part 62 has the same diameter as other parts in the pipe body 31. On the other hand, the thin-walled portion 63 is formed with a concave portion 54 that is recessed downward on the upper surface, so that the thickness is smaller than that of the thick-walled portion 62. It can be said that the thick part 62 is a part located outside the thin part 63 in the upper column 44. Here, the outside means the outside in the length direction of the upper column 44. Moreover, it can also be said that it is the outer side regarding the direction along the outer periphery of the seat body 21 mentioned later.

The seat plate receiving portion 34 has a pair of left and right side portions 55 arranged along a pair of left and right upper pillars 44 and a front portion 56 that connects the front ends of the pair of side portions 55.

  As shown in FIG. 3, through-holes 57 are formed in each of the pair of left and right side portions 55 at three positions spaced in the front-rear direction. A screw hole 58 is also formed on the back surface of the seat plate 11 at a position corresponding to the through hole 57. As shown in FIG. 6, the seat plate 11 is fixed to the framework 15 by screwing screws 65 into the screw holes 58 through the through holes 57.

[1-3. Seat 21 and backrest 23]
The seat body 21 includes a seat plate 11, a seat plate receiving portion 34, and an upper column 44. The seat body 21 has a seating surface 22.

The seat plate 11 has a substantially rectangular plate shape as a whole, and the front portion has a curved surface that is gently bent downward.
As shown in FIGS. 2, 4, etc., the width of the seat plate 11 in the left-right direction is wide at the back and narrow at the front, with a stepped portion 47 formed toward the front on both the left and right side surfaces. ing. The stepped portion 47 is inclined so as to protrude forward as viewed from the left and right sides. Of the left and right outer edge portions of the seat plate 11, the front side of the stepped portion 47 is a first outer edge portion 48, and the rear side is a second outer edge portion 49.

  In a state where the seat plate 11 is fixed to the framework 15, the second outer edge portion 49 is disposed so as to overlap the thin portion 63 in the vertical direction, and constitutes a seat body composite portion 71. Details of the seat complex portion 71 will be described later.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the backrest 23 includes a thin portion 61 and a back plate 13. In the state where the back plate 13 is fixed to the framework 15, as shown in FIG. 7, the back plate 13 end portion 74 in the left-right direction and the thin portion 61 are arranged so as to overlap each other, and the backrest composite portion 73 is configured. Details of the backrest composite portion 73 will be described later.

The seat body 21 and the backrest 23 both support the seated person. The seat body 21 is supported by the front pillar 41, the rear pillar 42, and the lower pillar 43.
[1-4. Seat complex portion 71 of seat 21]
As shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, the seat body 21 has a seat body composite portion 71 on a part of the left and right side surfaces of the outer periphery thereof.

  The seat complex part 71 includes a thin part 63 that is a part of the upper column 44 and a second outer edge part 49 that is a part of the seat plate 11, and the thin part 63 and the second outer edge part 49 are: The seats 21 are arranged side by side in the thickness direction, that is, in the vertical direction in this embodiment.

  In the seat complex portion 71, the thin portion 63 has the concave portion 54 described above, so that the thickness in the thickness direction of the seat body 21 is smaller than that of the thick portion 62. In addition, the thin portion 63 has a shape in which the side where the second outer edge portion 49 arranged side by side with the thin portion 63 exists is recessed.

The second outer edge portion 49 is arranged closer to the seated person than the thin portion 63.
In the seat complex portion 71 configured in this way, the thickness of the thin portion 63 and the second outer edge portion 49 is substantially the same as the diameter of the thick portion 62. As shown in FIG. 6, when the cross section of the seat complex portion 71 is viewed from the front, the left and right outer ends of the second outer edge portion 49 are rounded on the upper side. Therefore, a cylindrical surface extending in the front-rear direction is formed by overlapping the rounded thin portion 63 on the lower side.

  That is, the seat complex portion 71 has the same thickness as the thick portion 62 of the upper column 44, which is one of the two members of the seat plate 11 and the upper column 44, and the surface thereof. Since the thick-walled portion 62 has a cylindrical shape, a part of the seat body composite portion 71 is formed into a similar cylindrical shape such as the thick-walled portion 62, the bent portion 46, and the front pillar 41. It has become.

  In addition, since the seat plate 11 is disposed above the upper column 44, the seat body 11 spreads to both ends in the left-right direction of the seat body 21, and a seating range within which the seated person can be seated without feeling uncomfortable is provided. Can be wide.

Further, in the upper column 44, the thick portion 62 is disposed on the outer periphery of the seat body 21, is thicker than the thin portion 63, and is disposed at a position that is not aligned in the thickness direction of the second outer edge portion 49 and the seat body 21. Is done.
[1-5. Backrest compound part 73 of backrest 23]
As shown in FIGS. 5 and 7, the backrest 23 has a backrest composite portion 73 on a part of the left and right side surfaces of the outer periphery thereof.

  The backrest composite portion 73 includes a thin portion 61 that is a part of the rear column 42 and an end portion 74 that is a part of the back plate 13, and the thin portion 61 and the end portion 74 correspond to the backrest 23. They are arranged side by side in the thickness direction, that is, in the front-rear direction in this embodiment.

  In the backrest composite portion 73, the thin portion 61 is thinner in the thickness direction of the backrest 23 than the outer portion of the thin portion 61 in the rear column 42. Moreover, the thin part 61 is a shape where the side where the edge part 74 arrange | positioned along with the thin part 61 exists was dented. The end portion 74 is disposed on the side where the seated person sits rather than the thin portion 61.

  The backrest composite portion 73 configured in this manner has a thickness by the thin portion 61 and the end portion 74 that is substantially the same as the diameter of the rear column 42. Further, as shown in FIG. 7, when the cross section of the backrest composite portion 73 is viewed from above, the front end on the left and right outer sides of the end 74 is rounded. Therefore, the rear side overlaps with the rounded thin-walled portion 61 to form a columnar surface extending vertically.

  That is, the backrest composite portion 73 has two members of the back plate 13 and the rear pillar 42 which are overlapped, but fits in the same thickness as the rear pillar 42 which is one of them, and the surface thereof is also the rear pillar 42. As a result, the backrest composite portion 73 is partly formed in the same columnar shape as that of the rear pillar 42 at the lower portion thereof.

  Further, since the back plate 13 is disposed above the thin wall portion 61, the back plate 13 spreads to both ends in the left-right direction of the backrest 23, and is supported from the rear without giving a sense of incongruity to the seated person. The possible range can be widened.

[1-6. Leg end 17 and lower pillar 43]
As shown in FIG. 8, the leg end portion 17 includes a columnar body 81 having a length in the front-rear direction. Of the side surfaces of the columnar body 81, the upper surface is a flat surface 82. A through hole 83 is formed at the center of the plane 82 toward the back side of the columnar body 81. The upper side of the front and rear end portions of the columnar body 81 is an inclined surface 84 that is inclined downward toward the front and rear end sides.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the recess 52 formed in the lower pillar 43 includes a bottom surface 91 that is a flat surface located at the bottom on the back side of the recess 52 and a wall surface that is an inclined surface standing from both front and rear ends of the bottom surface 91. 92. A screw hole 93 is formed at the center of the bottom surface 91. In addition, the bottom surface here is a surface located in the back of the concave portion, and is a surface located on the upper side when the chair 1 is used as a reference.

  In a state where the leg end portion 17 is attached to the recess 52, the flat surface 82 contacts the bottom surface 91 and the inclined surface 84 contacts the wall surface 92. In this way, the leg end portion 17 abuts on the recess 52 on a plurality of surfaces.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 10, a groove 85 is formed in a lower end surface 86 that is a surface opposite to the plane 82 in the columnar body 81. The lower end surface 86 is a surface that contacts the floor surface. The groove 85 is connected to the through hole 83, and the leg end 17 is attached to the lower column 43 by inserting a screw 95 from the groove 85 side and screwing it into the screw hole 93. At this time, the leg end portion 17 is attached to the lower pillar 43 in a state in which at least a part is accommodated in the recess 52.

In addition, the recessed part 52 and the recessed part 53 are the same shapes, and the some leg end part 17 attached to them is also the same shape.
[1-7. effect]
According to the embodiment detailed above, the following effects can be obtained.

  (1a) In the chair 1, a part of the leg end portion 17 is stored in the recess 52 and the recess 53 of the lower pillar 43. Therefore, when the portion of the lower pillar 43 where no recess is formed is used as a reference, the protrusion amount of the leg end portion 17 protruding from the lower pillar 43 is reduced. Therefore, it can suppress that the leg end part 17 protrudes largely from a columnar part, and can suppress the fall of aesthetics.

  (1b) In the chair 1, the flat surface 82 of the leg end portion 17 is in contact with the bottom surface 91 of the concave portion 52 and the concave portion 53, and the inclined surface 84 is in contact with the wall surface 92. Therefore, rattling of the leg end portion 17 attached to the lower pillar 43 can be suppressed, and the stability of the chair 1 can be improved.

[1-8. Correspondence]
In the present embodiment, the front pillar 41, the rear pillar 42, and the lower pillar 43 are an example of leg portions of the present disclosure, and the lower pillar 43 is an example of a columnar section of the present disclosure.

[2. Other Embodiments]
Although the embodiment of the present disclosure has been described above, the present disclosure is not limited to the embodiment described above, and it is needless to say that various forms can be taken as long as they belong to the technical scope of the present disclosure.

  (2a) In the above embodiment, the seat complex part 71 and the backrest complex part 73 (hereinafter collectively referred to simply as a complex part) each include a part of the framework 15 as a component. Indicated. However, the composite unit does not include a part of the framework 15 and may be configured by components other than the framework 15. Although it does not restrict | limit especially as components other than the framework 15 which comprises a composite part, It may be a component for aesthetics instead of the component used in order to exhibit the function as a chair. .

  (2b) In the above embodiment, the structure having the composite portion in each of the seat body 21 and the backrest 23 is illustrated, but the composite portion may be provided in only one of them. The position where the composite portion is formed may be at least a part of the outer periphery of the seat body 21 or the backrest 23, but may be the entire outer periphery.

  (2c) In the above embodiment, the composite portion includes the thin portion 61 or the thin portion 63, but exemplifies a configuration that does not include a portion such as the thick portion 62 having a larger thickness. However, for example, like the seat body composite portion 101 shown in FIG. 11A, the side surface portion 103 of the seat plate 11 that overlaps the upper column 44 is disposed not only on the thin portion 63 but also on the thick portion 62. It may be configured to be. That is, the composite part may have a part other than the thin part.

  In FIG. 11A, only the portion that overlaps the upper column 44 is illustrated as the side surface portion 103, and the portion that does not overlap the upper column 44 is not illustrated. The same applies to the following modifications.

  Further, unlike the seat complex portion 105 shown in FIG. 11B, the side surface portion 107 of the seat plate 11 does not cover the entire thin portion 63, and a part of the thin portion 63 is included as the configuration of the seat complex portion 105. It may not be.

  (2d) In the above-described embodiment, the seat body 21 includes the thick-walled portion 62 that is thicker than the thin-walled portion 63 outside the seat-body composite portion 71, more specifically, outside in the direction along the outer periphery of the seat body 21. Although the configuration provided as the non-composite portion is illustrated, a configuration that does not include the non-composite portion may be used. For example, if the side surface portion 113 of the seat plate 11 covers all the thick portion 62 and the thin portion 63 as in the seat complex portion 111 shown in FIG. 11C, the non-composite portion does not exist.

  (2e) In the above embodiment, the thin wall portion 61 and the thin wall portion 63 have a configuration in which the side on which the seat plate 11 and the back plate 13 are disposed is recessed, but the opposite side is recessed. There may be. For example, like the seat complex part 121 shown in FIG. 12, the side part 123 may be arranged on the side opposite to the side where the concave part in the thin part 125 is formed.

  (2f) In the above-described embodiment, the configuration in which the rear portion of the thick portion 62 in the upper column 44 is all formed as the thin portion 63 is illustrated, but like the seat complex portion 131 illustrated in FIG. The configuration may be such that the thick portion 133 is provided in front of the thin portion 132 and the thick portion 134 is provided behind the thin portion 132. Moreover, the structure by which a thick part is provided only behind a thin part may be sufficient.

  Moreover, the thickness of the thick part 133 and the thick part 134 does not need to be the same. For example, it is conceivable that the thin portion 132 is thin and the thick portion 134 is thicker than the thickness obtained by overlapping the thin portion 132 and the side portion 135.

  (2g) In the above embodiment, the configuration in which the leg end portion 17 is in contact with only the surfaces constituting the recess 52 and the recess 53 is illustrated. However, like the leg end portion 141 shown in FIG. 14, the outer peripheral surface of the lower pillar 43 may have an abutting surface 143 that abuts on the outer peripheral surface other than the concave portion 52 and the concave portion 53. Here, the outer peripheral surface is a cylindrical peripheral wall portion of the lower pillar 43 and is a portion around the recess 52 and the recess 53.

  (2h) In the above embodiment, the seat plate 11 is attached to the framework 15 with the thin portion 63 and the second outer edge portion 49 in contact with each other, and the back with the thin portion 61 and the end portion 74 in contact with each other. A configuration in which the plate 13 is attached to the framework 15 is illustrated.

However, the thin portion and the member adjacent to the thin portion do not need to contact each other. For example, it may be arranged with a small gap between them.
(2i) In the above embodiment, an example in which the pipe body 31 of the framework 15 is configured by a metal pipe has been described. However, the pipe body 31 may be configured by a member having a shape other than a cylindrical pipe. For example, it is possible to use a bulk material filled with the contents instead of a hollow shape, or a member whose cross section is a shape other than a circle such as a rectangle. That is, a substantially columnar member may be used in the lower column 43.
