Description

  The present invention relates to a composite office furniture including a chair portion and a table board.

  Conventionally, desks and chairs are generally used as a set as office furniture in the office.For example, a desk for a single person or a plurality of persons is arranged side by side so that a large number of people work in line. There were many. It is also common to arrange rows of desks back to back. In these traditional working styles, a fixed address system in which a specific person uses a specific seat is common.

  However, in recent years, working styles in offices have changed dramatically. For example, there is a free address system (non-territorial system) in which you can work on your favorite seat without having a specific seat, a style of working independently for one person, or a seat that can be used by multiple people is fixed. Group working style.

  One of the backgrounds of these changes in working styles is the miniaturization of information devices such as laptop computers and tablet terminals as work tools. In other words, since these notebook computers and tablet terminals are portable, it is no longer necessary to work at a specific seat, and as a result, the free address system has made great progress.

  Another background is the progress in creating an environment to bring out the creative capabilities of workers. In other words, in order to improve the creative ability of workers and increase their intellectual productivity, an environment where they can concentrate on their thoughts and relax, or an environment where they can easily receive intellectual stimulation by discussing with colleagues etc. are required. Yes, seats are becoming independent and grouping is progressing there. Therefore, it is preferable that the seat can be selected according to the purpose.

  In relation to worker's concentration and relaxedness, it is important to balance the closedness and openness of the environment surrounding the worker. For example, in the case of a completely private room, the stimulus from the outside is too weak and the feeling of tension disappears, so that productivity is rather reduced. On the other hand, in an excessively open environment, such as when working alone with tables scattered on a large floor, distracting movements and conversations of other people and annoying the eyes of others are annoying. It is said that not only is it difficult to concentrate on meditation, but it is also difficult to take a relaxed posture (such as stretching and meditation) by refraining from others.

  Furthermore, the operability of a device such as a notebook computer is closely related to the intellectual productivity. In other words, if the environment such as a laptop computer is easy to handle like a limb, it will be easier to work, but if the device is difficult to use, not only will you be distracted by the operation and your thoughts will be neglected, It may increase the burden on the body (eg, arm) and promote fatigue.

  Then, when an eye is paid to actual furniture (furniture), there are Patent Documents 1 and 2 as furniture having high openness. That is, in Patent Documents 1 and 2, a foldable table plate is attached to a sofa type chair, and a notebook computer can be used when the table plate is in a horizontal posture.

On the other hand, for example, Patent Document 3 is an example of office furniture that has high closedness. In this patent document 3, a space is partitioned by a swastika-shaped partition in plan view to form four work spaces, and a top plate is attached to each work space with its back surface being in contact with a partition wall. ing. Therefore, the person works toward the partition wall.

JP, 2011-125616, A JP, 2002-58564, A CD-ROM for No. 05-29368

  As described above, in order to enhance the worker's intellectual productivity, it is important to harmonize the closedness and openness of the work environment and the operability of the device (particularly a laptop computer). 2 is a little heavier than the pipe chair with memo pad, but it is too open and it cannot be said that it can contribute to the improvement of intellectual productivity even when it is used for work.

  Also, the table board is attached to the side of the chair, and the entire table is located above the seat.Therefore, when sitting or leaving, the table board must be flipped up and stored on the side of the chair. However, it is cramped and difficult to call user-friendly.

  On the other hand, since Patent Document 3 is a kind of private room, there is a possibility that the closedness is too high and the improvement of intellectual productivity is insufficient. Further, in Patent Document 3, it can be said that it is lacking in simplicity because a top plate having the same size as a normal desk is surrounded by partition walls from three sides.

  The present invention has been made to improve the present situation, and an object thereof is to provide a composite furniture having a novel and user-friendly structure that has never been seen before. In addition, although many novel forms are presented in the present application, it is also possible to provide a novel and improved composite furniture.

The present invention relates to improvement of a composite furniture with a chair portion and a table plate, and its basic configuration is as in claim 1.
"A chair portion having a seat and a backrest, and a table board arranged in front of the chair portion,
At least one of the left and right outer sides of the chair portion is provided with a side panel having a height about the elbow of a seated person or higher, and the side panel has a front protruding toward the front side of the chair portion. The panel is provided integrally or separately, and the table plate is attached to the front panel or a member connected thereto so that the front and rear positions can be changed.
That is.

  The present invention can be variously developed. An example is given in each claim. Of these, the invention according to claim 2 is such that, in claim 1, the table plate is in a substantially horizontal posture when it is farthest from the chair portion, and approaches the chair portion while tilting backward with respect to the horizontal. It is set. Note that, unlike the second aspect, it is possible to adopt a configuration in which the front-back position adjustment and the posture adjustment of the table plate can be performed separately.

As a specific example of claim 2, in claim 3, a vertically long pillar is attached to the inner side surface of the front panel so as to rotate back and forth with its lower end serving as a fulcrum, and at the upper end of the pillar. The table plate is attached, and the table plate moves back and forth while changing its side view posture. As a specific example of claim 3, in claim 4, the rotation fulcrum of the support column is located behind the front end of the table plate.

According to a fifth aspect, in the first aspect, the table plate is attached to the front panel or a member connected thereto so as to be movable back and forth and rotatable.

  As a development example of any one of claims 1 to 4, in claim 6, side panels are arranged on both left and right sides of the chair portion, and a back panel is arranged behind the chair portion. The left and right side panels and the back panel are integrally continuous, and the front panel is attached as a separate member to the front end surface of one of the side panels.

  A seventh aspect is a development example of the sixth aspect, and in the present invention, the side panel, the back panel, and the front panel have a height such that an elbow of a seated person can be placed thereon, and each of the panels has a thin enclosure plate. In the left and right side panels and the front panel, the enclosure plates are arranged so as to be offset toward the left and right outer sides, and the upper surfaces of the side panels and the front panel are placed inside the enclosure plate. The left and right widths are set so that the area where the elbows can be placed remains.

  In claim 8, according to any one of claims 1 to 7, a front curtain plate located near a front end of the table plate in the frontmost state is connected to a front end portion of the front panel. There is. As a development example of the eighth aspect, in the ninth aspect, a bottom plate that is in contact with the floor is integrally provided at the lower end of the front curtain plate. In claim 8, the bottom plate may be provided with a foot support on which a person's foot is placed. When the front curtain plate is provided as in claim 8, the table plate can be attached to the front curtain plate.

  In claim 10, in any one of claims 1 to 9, the side panel has a lateral width such that a person's elbow can be placed, and the side panel has an opening toward the chair portion. A cavity for storing the product is formed. It is also possible to provide a cavity for storing articles on the front panel.

  In Claim 11, In any one of Claims 1-10, the table board is attached to a receiving member which moves into and out of the chair portion, and the receiving member faces upward so that articles can be stored. It has a tray shape with an opening, and the table plate is rotatably attached to the receiving member so as to open and close the receiving member.

  In the present invention, since the table board is provided on the front panel projecting in front of the chair portion or another member connected to the front panel, the table board should be used in the same state as the top board of a normal desk. You can Therefore, it is suitable for office work. Moreover, since the front-back position of the table plate can be adjusted, the front-back position of the table plate can be set according to the user's preference, working condition, and the like. This can greatly contribute to the improvement of intellectual productivity.

  In addition, since the table board is located in front of the seat, it is easy to leave or re-seated with the device such as a laptop computer and documents placed on the table board. It is friendly and suitable for office use. Further, since the front panel protrudes in front of the side panel, the front panel plays a role as a kind of enclosure, so that the territory defining function for notifying others of the private work area is also enhanced. Therefore, it can be said that the concentration can be enhanced.

The table plate may have a configuration in which the front-back position can be changed without changing the posture, but when the configuration in which the side-view posture is changed according to the change in the front-back position is adopted as in claim 2, for example, the body is tilted backward. When the table board is pulled toward you in this state, it is easy to operate the keys of the laptop computer placed on the table board and the monitor can be viewed easily.

  In other words, when the user stands upright, the table plate looks down from above, so if the table plate is placed in a substantially horizontal position, it may be possible to operate the laptop or write. On the other hand, if the body is tilted backwards, the table plate will be viewed from an oblique direction. Therefore, it is easier to operate the notebook computer or write when tilting the table plate backward with respect to the horizontal. When the configuration of No. 2 is adopted, the posture in which the table plate is easy to use is automatically set in association with the adjustment of the front-back position according to the posture of the user.

  Although there are many methods of sequentially changing the front-back position and the posture of the table plate as in claim 2, as in claim 3, the use of the front-back rotation type support column allows a series of movements with a simple structure. can do. Further, when the height of the pivot of the support column is different, the ratio of the angle change to the change rate of the front-back position of the table plate is also different, so that it is easy to select the relationship between the front-back position and the angle.

  When a laptop computer is placed on the table board for work, the LCD monitor of the laptop computer has a feature that it is easy to see from a direction orthogonal to the screen, so when a person stands with their upper body upright, While tilting slightly forward, the monitor of the laptop computer is tilted backward from the vertical position, but when a person leans backwards, the head recedes backward and lowers downward, so the line of sight is horizontal. The angle formed (elevation angle) becomes small, so if you just pull the table board toward the person, it will be in a state similar to looking up at the monitor from below, and it will be difficult to see the letters on the monitor. .

  On the other hand, according to the invention of claim 4, when a person pulls the table board toward the body in accordance with the backward tilt of the body, the table board tilts forward and the monitor of the notebook computer is positioned so as to approach vertically. Because of the change, the relationship between the monitor and the line of sight can be automatically maintained in an appropriate state so that the line of sight of the person whose body is tilted backward is maintained substantially orthogonal to the screen.

  Moreover, the length of the column is long and the pivot point is located behind the front end of the table plate, which makes it easy to make the degree of angle change of the monitor follow the degree of backward tilt of the body. , It is easy to maintain an appropriate relationship between the line of sight and the monitor screen. From this point of view, the configuration of claim 4 is suitable for work by a notebook computer.

  When the rotation fulcrum of the column is located behind the front end of the table plate as in claim 4, the table plate tilts backward without lowering its height so that the front-back position of the table plate changes. , A person can operate a laptop computer with his / her hands naturally extended without changing the height of the wrist. Therefore, the operability of the notebook computer is also excellent.

  According to the configuration of claim 5, the front and rear positions and the angle of the table plate can be adjusted separately, so that the state of the table plate can be finely adjusted according to the preference of the user.

  When the configuration of claim 6 is adopted, since the left and right side panels and the back panel are connected in series, the sense of solidity is increased, so that the territory defining function is further enhanced, and an environment where the user can concentrate on work is created. I can contribute. In particular, setting the height of the side panel and back panel to a height that allows the seated person's head to be concealed makes it even more closed, which is suitable for realizing an environment in which the user can concentrate on work. Is.

For example, when the side panel and the back panel have a height such that the seated user's head is hidden or not hidden, the side panel and the back panel define a work space that surrounds the user. The difference from 3 is that in Patent Document 3, the user uses the opening of the furniture (partitioning device) as a back, whereas in the present invention, the table plate is located in the opening of the work space. Means that the user is seated with the back panel facing back toward the opening direction of the work space.

  In this way, while forming the space surrounded by the side panel and the back panel, the user is facing the direction of the opening, so that the closeness and the openness are harmonized, and the user has an appropriate tension. It is possible to concentrate on the work while being able to improve the intellectual productivity.

  When the front panel is composed of a member different from the side panel as in claim 6, a left-use specification in which the front panel is attached to the left side panel and a right-use specification in which the front panel is attached to the right side panel are provided. Since it can be selected, the flexibility of the member is increased. Also, the front-rear length and height of the front panel can be designed separately from the side panel, so that the freedom of selection is increased. Therefore, there is an advantage that the product lineup can be enriched while sharing the members.

  As mentioned above, it is possible to increase the height of the side panel and the back panel to increase the closedness of the workspace, but in this case, the side panel and the back panel function as strength members. However, since it is usually a certain thickness and does not have a light-transmitting property, there is a possibility that a feeling of oppression may be increased by simply increasing the height of the side panel and the back panel.

  On the other hand, if the configuration of claim 7 is adopted, the side panel can be used as an elbow rest to enhance the convenience for the user, and the thin enclosure plate eliminates the feeling of pressure and secures an appropriate closedness. It becomes possible to do. It can be said that it is particularly preferable that the enclosure is made of a light-transmissive non-transparent resin plate such as a ground glass resin plate, because it is possible to secure an appropriate closed property while eliminating a feeling of pressure.

  When the front curtain plate is provided as in the eighth aspect, it is possible to enhance the concentration on the work by the blindfold function. In particular, it can be said to be preferable when used by women. There is also the advantage that luggage such as bags can be hidden behind the front curtain plate. Further, when the front curtain plate is brought into contact with the floor, the front panel and the front curtain plate reinforce each other to improve the stability. Therefore, even if the back panel located behind the chair portion is not provided, it is possible to stand on its own, and thus the design flexibility can be improved.

  When the bottom plate is provided as in claim 9, the self-supporting property and the stability can be further improved. It is also easy to put bags. Providing a foot support on the bottom plate has an advantage that the relaxation can be improved.

  Employing the structure of claim 10 is useful because the side panel can be used as a storage portion for articles. It is also possible to provide a power outlet or a USB port in the cavity and use it to charge a smartphone. The hollow portion is open toward the seated person, so that it is closed by the user, so it is also useful as a storage place for valuables.

  If the configuration of claim 11 is adopted, it is useful because the receiving member can store small items, valuables, power outlets, power cables, and the like. Since the table plate also serves as the lid, the structure can be simplified accordingly.

  Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the present application, the front / rear / left / right wording is used to specify the direction, but the front / rear / left / right directions are based on the direction of a person who normally sits on a chair. The front view is a state viewed from the direction opposite to the seated person. Regarding the forward and backward movements of the table board, the movement that approaches the seated person is the backward movement, and the movement that moves away from the seated person is the forward movement.

(1). Outline of First Embodiment First, the outline of the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2A. The furniture of the first embodiment includes a chair portion 3 including a seat 1 and a backrest 2, left and right side panels 4 and 5 positioned on the left and right outer sides of the chair, and a back panel 6 positioned behind the chair portion 3, It has a front panel 7 arranged in front of the right side panel 5, and a table plate 9 is attached to the front panel 7 via columns 8 so as to be rotatable back and forth. The table plate 9 has a size such that a notebook computer (not shown) can be stably placed on it, and a laterally long horizontal stopper 10 is provided at the rear end thereof to prevent the placed notebook computer from slipping off. Is provided.

  The left and right side panels 4, 5 and the back panel 6 are integrally connected. Therefore, the side panels 4 and 5 and the back panel 6 form a front opening U-shaped enclosure. The side panels 4 and 5 have a lateral width (for example, about 20 cm) that allows a seated person to stably rest their elbows, and the side panels 4 and 5 and the back panel 6 are made of thin plate materials such as resin plates. A surrounding plate 11 is erected.

  The enclosure plate 11 located above the side panels 4 and 5 and the enclosure plate 11 located above the back panel 6 are connected in series. Therefore, even a thin plate has high stability. The enclosure plate 11 may be a translucent but opaque resin plate such as a milky white acrylic resin plate. Of course, it is also possible to use a plate material that does not transmit light. A screen-shaped (film-shaped) one can also be used.

  The enclosure plate 11 is set to a height such that the seated person's head is hidden, but it may be set to a height about the seated person's shoulder or a height higher than the seated person's head. It is possible. Also, for example, the upper surfaces of the side panels 4 and 5 are inclined so that the height of the parts is lower than the height of the parts of the back panel 6, or the height of the parts of the side panels 4 and 5 becomes lower toward you. It is also possible to let them do it.

  Further, the enclosure plate 11 is arranged in a state of being shifted toward the outside of the side panels 4, 5 and the back panel 6. Therefore, the seated person can stably place the elbow on the upper surfaces of the side panels 4 and 5. Therefore, the side panels 4 and 5 can be used as elbow pads. Moreover, articles such as writing instruments, booklets, and smartphones can be placed on the upper surfaces of the side panels 4 and 5. That is, the side panels 4 and 5 can also be used as an article mounting table.

  In the present embodiment, the front panel 7 is formed into a hollow rectangular box shape, and is set to have substantially the same lateral width as the side panels 4 and 5. A front partition plate 12 is erected on the upper surface so as to be aligned with one side of the enclosure plate 11 in a plan view and outward. Therefore, the upper surface of the front panel 7 can be used as an article mounting table and also as a work surface such as a mouse operation. The front partition plate 12 is preferably made of the same material as the enclosure plate 11. Further, it is preferable that both are connected by a joint.

Although the front panel 7 has a rectangular shape in a plan view, another shape in a plan view such as a front widening or a front narrowing trapezoid can be adopted. Further, as described in another embodiment, it does not need to have a hollow structure, and may further have a mode in which a top plate is attached to a column.
Further, from the viewpoint of the shielding function, it is preferable that it is a panel shape having a planar spread, but from the viewpoint of the function of attaching the table plate 9, for example, a structure in which a top plate or a frame member is provided at the upper end of the column is provided. Good. Therefore, it can be said that it is more appropriate to refer to a front member having at least one of a shielding function, a table board attaching function, and a workbench function, rather than the wording of the front panel.

  As shown in FIG. 2 (A), the left and right side panels 4 and 5 are inclined to the front by a slight angle with respect to the longitudinal centerline in the front-rear direction so as to spread toward the front at intervals. ing. Therefore, the furniture main body including the chair 3, the left and right side panels 4 and 5, and the back panel 6 has a trapezoidal shape in a plan view. On the other hand, the front panel 7 is arranged parallel to the longitudinal centerline of the front and rear. Therefore, the front panel 7 and the side panel 5 are arranged in a bent posture in a plan view.

The column 8 has an L shape in which a rearward facing portion 8b is provided at the lower end of a vertically long base portion 8a, and the rear end of the rearward facing portion 8b is rotatably connected to the inner surface of the front panel 7. . When the base portion 8a of the column 8 is in the vertical posture, the table plate 9 is in a substantially horizontal posture, and the rearward facing portion 8b is stably placed on the floor in the horizontal posture. The advantage of rotating around the rear end of the rearward facing portion 8b will be described later.

(2). Layout example of multiple furniture The front panel 7 is a separate body from the side panels 4 and 5, and can be connected to any of the left and right side panels 4 and 5. Further, although the front panel 7 has left and right side surfaces, the table plate 9 can be attached to either side surface. Various layouts can be realized by appropriately combining the connection position of the front panel 7 and the arrangement position of the table plate 9. An example thereof is shown in FIGS.

  In the layout example shown in FIGS. 2B and 2C, a large number of furniture are connected to the left and right in a state in which the opening directions are alternately changed. Therefore, a large number of furniture forms a zigzag state in a plan view. ing. Therefore, in the furniture at the intermediate position excluding the furniture at both ends, a passage-like space is open in front of the user. That is, the furniture in the middle position is in a recessed state. Therefore, the closed property is high. In this layout example, only one front panel 7 is arranged between the furniture arranged at the front and the rear.

  In the layout examples of FIGS. 2B and 2C, the right-handed specification in which the table board 9 is located to the right of the seated person and the left-use specification in which the table board 9 is located to the left of the seated person are alternated left and right. Lined up. Therefore, the space between the table plates 9 adjacent to each other on the left and right is constant.

  In adjacent furniture, the side panels 4 and 5 and the front panel 7 form the same surface and are arranged in series. Therefore, when the enclosure plate 11 and the front partition plate 12 are provided, a gap is formed between the front ends of the enclosure plate 11 and the front partition plate 12. This gap can be positively used for communication with an adjacent person or can be closed.

  When closing the gap, a front plate is provided at the front end edges of the side panels 4 and 5, and the front end of the enclosure plate 11 is configured to have an L shape in plan view, or the front plate is provided at the front end of the front panel 7 and the front part is provided. The partition plate 12 may be L-shaped in plan view. It is also possible to attach a detachable shield plate to the enclosure plate 11 or the front partition plate 12. In any case, it is preferable that the front plate or the shielding plate has the same material and height as the surrounding plate 11 and the front partition plate 12.

  It is also possible to shift the furniture adjacent to each other to the left and right, and arrange the furniture so that the front end of the enclosure plate 11 of one furniture and the front end of the front partition plate 12 of the other furniture face each other. In this case, no gap is created.

  As mentioned above, there is a passage-like space in front of the middle furniture except for both ends of the group of furniture, but since the left and right side panels 4 and 5 form a square shape, The space has a wide entrance. This makes it easier for people to come and go. In addition, since there is a certain amount of openness, it can also contribute to suppressing the feeling of pressure.

  In FIGS. 3A and 3B, two pieces of furniture are arranged front to back. Therefore, the two furniture form a substantially C-shaped space. The table plates 9 of the front and rear furniture are in contact with or close to each other in a back-to-back manner in a state where they are not rotated forward. In this embodiment, two furniture forms a space having one doorway. Therefore, the closedness is high as a whole. Therefore, it is suitable when it is desired to enhance the shielding property from the outside, such as a business meeting or a highly confidential meeting.

  In the layout example of FIGS. 3C and 3D, two pieces of furniture each having the front panel 7 are arranged so as to open in opposite directions while shifting the opening direction to the left and right. Since there are two front panels 7 at the boundary between adjacent furniture, the distance between the front and rear furniture is longer than that in the case of FIGS. 2B and 2C.

  In the layouts of (C) and (D), the table board 9 is placed on the left side of the user for left-handed use, but in the layout example shown in FIGS. It is designed to be used on the right side of the right side. In both the layout examples of (C) and (D) and the layout examples of (E) and (F), it is possible to connect a plurality of units to the left and right with these as one unit. The form becomes similar to the layouts of (B) and (C).

  The front panel 7 has a left-use specification in which the table board 9 is attached to the left side panel 4 and a right-use specification in which the table board 9 is attached to the right side panel 5. What are the left-use specification and the right-use specification? Alternatively, it may be prepared in advance as a dedicated product, or may be dealt with by replacing the columns 8 on the right side surface and the left side surface of one type of front panel 7.

  In the modes (C) to (F), the table boards 9 are attached to the front and rear two front panels 7, respectively, but one front panel 7 is shared by the front and rear furniture, and the table boards are provided on both sides thereof. It is also possible to attach 9. Also in this case, the table board 9 attached to both sides may be prepared as an exclusive product, or the front panel 7 may be shared and the table board 9 may be attached to both sides of one front panel 7. Good.

  Although not shown in the figure, it is also possible to arrange two pieces of furniture back to back. Further, it is also possible to arrange them side by side in a posture in which they are opened in the same direction. In each layout example, adjacent furniture may be connected to each other or simply arranged.

  When the chair portion 3 is formed in a trapezoidal shape in plan view as in the present embodiment, there is an advantage that it is easy to sit and leave the furniture regardless of whether the furniture is used alone or a plurality of furniture is arranged in parallel. In particular, when they are arranged facing each other as shown in FIG. 3 (A) or in a zigzag shape as shown in FIGS. 2 (B) and (C), it is preferable because the space for entering and exiting can be widened.

  Now, for example, a normal chair for a single person has a left-right width that is approximately the same as the maximum width of the user. Therefore, if the table plate is provided with the left and right side panels, a person cannot sit or leave without having to flip up the table plate.

  On the other hand, in the embodiment of the present application, since the seat has a width of about 1.5 times that of a normal chair, a person can enter and leave the side of the table plate 9 by moving the table plate to the right or left. You can open a space. Further, in the initial state in which the column 8 is not tilted backward, the table plate 9 and the seat 1 are separated from each other in the front and rear direction so that a person's foot can be inserted. Therefore, a person can sit and leave without having to flip up the table plate 9. Therefore, it is possible to stand or sit while the article such as the notebook computer is placed on the table board 9. Therefore, it is very easy to use.

  Moreover, when the chair part 3 is formed in a trapezoidal shape in plan view as in the present embodiment, the space above the seat 1 is widened forward, so that it is easy for a person to slip his / her body in when sitting down and to release it when leaving. It will be easier. Therefore, the easiness of sitting and leaving is further enhanced. Also, from a visual (psychological) point of view, the chair has a strong impression that it is easy to sit and leave and is easy to use. It should be noted that the side panels 4 and 5 can be projected in front of the seat 1, but in this case, it can be said that the ease of sitting and leaving by forming the trapezoid in plan view is more remarkable.

(3). Specific Example of Structure Next, the structure of each part will be described mainly with reference to FIG. Each of the panels 4 to 7 of the present embodiment has a hollow structure having an outer peripheral plate, an inner peripheral plate and a top plate. The bottom plate may or may not be provided. The outer peripheral plate and the top plate may be wooden plates or metal plates such as steel plates. Resin molded products can also be used. In any case, it is preferable that at least the surface that comes into contact with the human body is covered with a skin material such as cloth. It is also possible to provide a cushion material on the upper surfaces of the side panels 4 and 5.

  The seat 1 has a structure in which a cushion material 16 is stretched over a seat plate 15, and the cushion material 16 is covered with a skin material. As the seat plate 15, a wooden plate, a metal plate, a resin, or the like can be selected as needed. The seat plate 15 is supported (fixed) by stays 17 that are stretched over the left and right side panels 4 and 5. The backrest 2 also has a structure in which a cushion material 19 is stretched over the backboard 18, and the backboard 18 is fixed to the back panel 6. The cushion material 19 of the backrest 2 is also covered with a skin material. The lateral width of the chair portion 3 is set to be slightly wider than that of a normal chair. Therefore, it can be used in a relaxed state.

  A bracket 20 is fixed to the upper end of the column 8, and a table plate 9 is fixed to the bracket 20 with screws or the like. A horizontally-oriented horizontal rotation shaft 21 is fixed to the rearward facing portion 8b of the column 8, and the rotation shaft 21 enters the inside of the front panel 7 via a collar 22. On the other hand, inside the front panel 7, a bearing cylinder 23 in which the rotary shaft 21 is fitted is arranged, and the bearing cylinder 23 is fixed to the inner and outer plates of the front panel 7 (may be fixed to the bottom plate. .).

  A slit 24 that opens upward is formed in the middle of the bearing cylinder 23 on the left and right, and a movable friction plate 25 is fixed to the rotary shaft 21 at the slit 24. Left and right fixed friction plates 26 sandwiching the movable friction plate 25 are fixed to the bearing cylinder 23, and a friction material 27 having a large friction coefficient is attached to the fixed friction plate 26 and the movable friction plate 25. ing.

  When a certain amount of pulling force or pushing force is applied to the table plate 9 from the front-rear direction, the table plate 9 can be rotated back and forth against the friction between the friction members 27. When the table plate 9 is released, the table plate 9 is held in a state in which it does not rotate to the extent that the notebook computer is operated or a writing operation is performed.

  As a means for maintaining the front-back position (posture 8 posture) of the table plate 9, various means such as disposing a friction plate or a coil spring between the collar 22 and the front panel 7 can be adopted. In this embodiment, the front-back position of the table plate 9 can be adjusted steplessly, but a stepwise adjustment method can also be adopted. It is also possible to provide a lever on the table plate 9 or the front panel 7 by adopting a lock means capable of changing the locked state and the unlocked state by operating the lever.

  As shown in FIG. 4C, as a means for attaching the enclosure plate 11 and the front partition plate 12, a downward foot 30 is attached to a receiving member 29 that holds and holds the lower ends of the enclosure plate 11 and the front partition plate 12. This foot body 30 is fixed to the inside of the front panel 7 and fitted into the guide member 31. The foot 30 may have a plate shape or a rod shape. The receiving member 29 can be fixed to the outer surface or the upper surface of the front panel 7 with screws or the like.

(4). Summary of First Embodiment In the present embodiment, since the table board 9 is attached to the front panel 7 protruding toward the front of the chair portion 3, as shown in FIG. It is located in front of 1.
Therefore, a person can easily sit and leave the chair portion 3 without changing the posture of the table board 9. Therefore, it is easy to use.

  Also, since the seated person is surrounded by the shroud 11 on almost three sides, an environment in which the seated person has an appropriate closed property and concentrates on work is prepared. Moreover, since the front of the seated person is open, it has an openness (openness), and it is an environment where bosses and colleagues can easily talk to each other. And has excellent manageability.) It can be said that an environment in which concentration and stimulus are harmonized and intellectual productivity can be enhanced by harmonizing the closedness and openness.

  Further, since the position of the table plate 9 can be adjusted back and forth, for example, the front and back position of the table plate 9 is changed according to the inclination of the upper half of the body of the seated person, and the position is set to a position where a person can easily operate the laptop computer or the like. be able to.

  Now, for example, when a seated person operates a laptop computer in an upright posture, the person tilts his / her head forward and keeps the monitor of the laptop computer in front of the vertical line (that is, It is usually tilted down (away from the seated person), and the monitor is often set in a posture in which the line of sight of the person is substantially perpendicular to the screen.

  On the other hand, when a seated person leans backwards, the height of the head becomes lower and the position of the eyes also becomes lower.Therefore, simply moving the monitor parallel to the back without changing the posture will make the monitor perpendicular to the screen. There is a possibility that the state of viewing from below is deteriorated and the visibility of characters and the like deteriorates. In this respect, it can be said that the angle of the monitor may be changed according to the backward inclination of the body, but it is troublesome to put the hand on the monitor and adjust the angle one by one.

  On the other hand, in the present embodiment, when the table plate 9 is pulled toward the body in accordance with the backward tilt of the body, the table plate 9 tilts backward, so that the monitor of the notebook computer placed on the table plate 9 is also aligned with the vertical line. The inclination angle is reduced, and therefore, the relationship between the monitor and the line of sight is automatically maintained in an appropriate state so that the line of sight of the person is maintained in a posture substantially orthogonal to the screen. Therefore, it is user-friendly. When the support column 8 is connected to the front panel 7 in the vicinity of the floor as in the embodiment, the pivot span of the support column becomes long, and the degree of backward tilt angle of the body and the degree of backward tilt angle of the support column 8 are made to follow each other. Since it is easy, it is particularly preferable.

  Moreover, since the rotation fulcrum of the column 8 is located below the table plate 9, even if the column 8 rotates, the height of the table plate 9 is not so low. Therefore, a person can operate the notebook computer with the hand naturally extended. This is also one of the great advantages of this embodiment.

  In the present embodiment, the rear end of the rearward facing portion 8b of the pillar 8 is rotatably connected to the front panel. However, as shown in FIG. 4A, the connecting portion of the pillar 8 is the rear end of the table plate 9. It is located just below the department. Then, as can be easily understood from FIG. 5 (A), when the table plate 9 is tilted rearward, the front end of the table plate 9 once moves up and then descends. Therefore, when viewed as a whole of the table plate 9, there is a tendency that the height is almost unchanged and the table plate 9 is tilted backward, so that the table plate can be tilted largely without impairing the operability of the notebook computer.

  It is also possible to extend the rearward facing portion 8b of the column 8 further rearward than the drawing and connect the rear end thereof to the rear end portion of the front panel 7. In this case, the table plate 9 can be raised when tilting backward.

  In order to position the rotation fulcrum of the column 8 below the rear end of the table plate 9, the column 8 does not have to be L-shaped. It may be a straight and vertical posture without a horizontal portion at the lower end, or a straight and forward leaning posture. Contrary to the embodiment, it is also possible to form the column into an L shape having a forward facing portion at the lower end of the base portion 8a and arrange the base portion 8a near the rear end of the table plate 9. In this case as well, the stability is high when the base portion 8a is upright. It is also possible to form the support column 8 in a plate shape having a large front-rear width (for example, to form a plate shape having about half the front-rear width of the table plate 9) and connect the lower end of the rear end thereof to the front panel 7. .

  It is also possible to attach the bracket 20 to the upper end portion of the column 8 so as to be able to rotate back and forth, so that the table plate 9 can be adjusted to an arbitrary angle at an arbitrary front and rear position.

  In the present embodiment, since the upper part of the furniture is open and the enclosure plate 11 and the front partition plate 12 are translucent, it is possible to work with the illumination of the floor even if there is no dedicated illumination. If you want a bright environment, you can install a separate lamp. The lamp can be attached to the enclosure plate 11 and the front partition plate 12. It is also possible to provide a surface emitting material such as an organic EL film on the enclosure plate 11 and the front partition plate 12.

  Although not shown, it is possible to provide a power outlet, a charging USB port for a mobile phone, a smartphone, a tablet terminal, or a LAN port on the side panels 4 and 5 and the front panel 7. . Furthermore, it is possible to incorporate a wireless power transmitter on the upper surfaces of the side panels 4 and 5, the front panel 7, or the table board 9.

  Power outlets and the like can be provided symmetrically in the front and rear, for example, on the upper surface or side surface of the front panel 7 (side surface below the table plate 9). Then, for example, when arranging two pieces of furniture facing each other as shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B, even if one front panel 7 is arranged between the front and rear pieces of furniture, each person who is heading has one person. A power source or the like can be taken from the front panel 7. That is, one front panel 7 can also be used as a power feeding means for the person facing the front panel 7.

  By making the height of the front panel 7 higher than the side panels 4 and 5 to some extent, the upper portions of the front and rear surfaces of the front panel 7 are exposed above the side panels 4 and 5, and the exposed front and rear surfaces are exposed. When an outlet, a LAN port, a USB port, etc. are provided, the outlet, the LAN port, etc. face toward the user side, so that the usability is further improved and the user is friendly, and the article mounting area is not reduced. When one front panel 7 is shared by front and rear furniture, it can be said that the table plates 9 are preferably arranged symmetrically in the front and rear.

  If power supply means such as an outlet is provided on each of the left and right side surfaces of the front panel, as shown in FIGS. 3 (C), (D), (E), and (F), the two furnitures are placed in opposite postures and left and right without facing each other. When they are arranged in a staggered manner, even if only one front panel 7 is arranged between two pieces of furniture, one front panel 7 can be shared by the two pieces of furniture as a means for supplying power.

(4). Second Embodiment FIG. 5B shows an example in which the chair portion 3 has a reclining structure (or a locking structure). In this embodiment, the seat 1 is supported by the front and rear long support rails 33 provided on the left and right side panels 4 and 5, but the seat 1 is divided into the front and the rear so as to bend around the hinge portion 34. The front portion 1a and the rear portion 1b are supported by the support rail 33 via the front and rear sliders 35 and 36, and the portion of the support rail 33 to which the front slider 35 is attached is inclined forward. ing.

Therefore, when the seat 1 moves forward, the rear portion 1b moves forward without changing its posture, but the front portion 1a moves downward while changing its posture. A hinge 37 connects the lower end of the backrest 2 to the rear end of the seat 1. Both the seat 1 and the backrest 2 have a structure in which a cushion is stretched over an inner shell made of resin or the like, and a hinge 34 is formed in the inner shell of the seat 1 by forming a slit or the like.

  The sliders 35 and 36 are biased backward by a spring, and when a seated person leans against the backrest 2, the backrest 2 tilts backward against the spring and the seat 1 advances. Thus, it can be said that when the reclining structure is adopted for the chair portion 3, the operation of the notebook computer can be performed in an easy state, and it is easy to draw out an excellent idea. Since the seated person is surrounded by the shroud 11, the seated person can recline without worrying about the eyes. Therefore, it is also suitable for women.

  Needless to say, various reclining structures can be adopted. When the seat 1 is configured to be bendable, it is possible to adopt a configuration in which the front portion 1a moves forward without changing the posture and the rear portion 1b tilts backward. Of course, the seat 1 may be simply moved forward, or only the backrest 2 may be tilted backward.

(5). Third to Sixth Embodiments FIG. 6A shows a third embodiment. In this embodiment, first, the support column 8 is of an expansion and contraction type in which the outer cylinder 38 and the inner member 39 are fitted to each other. The inner member 39 is connected to the front panel 7 and the table plate 9 is attached to the outer cylinder 38. Is fixed. There is an appropriate friction between the outer cylinder 38 and the inner member 39, and the height of the table plate 9 can be adjusted by applying a certain amount of force and pushing and pulling. As long as it is in a normal use state, the table plate 9 does not slide down.

  The lower end of the column 8 is rotatably connected to the front panel 7, and a lock release button 40 that moves left and right in the direction of the rotation axis is provided at the connection portion. When the lock release button 40 is pushed toward the front panel 7 with a foot, the lock is released and the table plate 9 can be rotated back and forth. When the foot is released from the lock release button 40, the support column 8 is held in its rotating posture. That is, when the lock release button 40 is pressed, the meshing between the movable lock member and the fixed lock member is released, and when the pressing of the lock release button 40 is released, the movable lock member is pressed by the spring and meshes with the fixed lock member.

  If the column 8 is long, there is a concern that the table plate 9 is likely to be fluttered. Therefore, in this embodiment, the stability of the table plate 9 is also taken into consideration. That is, a guide groove 41 (or a guide means such as a guide body) having a radius of curvature centered on the rotation fulcrum of the column 8 is provided on the inner surface of the upper portion of the front panel 7, and the guide groove 41 is provided at the upper end of the column 8. A slider 42 is provided which cannot be removed and is slidably fitted. The outer cylinder 38 is fitted in a slider 42 so as to be vertically movable.

  In the fourth embodiment shown in FIG. 6 (B), a guide groove 41 (or a guide body) curved in a downward concave shape is provided on the inner surface of the upper portion of the front panel 7, while a guide is provided on the bracket 20 to which the table plate 9 is fixed. A slider 42 is attached to the groove 41 so that it cannot be pulled out and is slidably fitted. Although the guide groove is formed in an arc shape having a radius of curvature centered on the lower end portion of the front panel 7, it may be a straight line in a backward tilted posture.

  In the fifth embodiment shown in FIG. 7A, the front panel 7 is provided with a longitudinal guide groove 41 (or a guide body), and a slider 42 is attached to the guide groove 41 so that the slider 42 cannot slide out and can slide back and forth. In addition, the bracket 20 is attached to the slider 42 so as to be rotatable back and forth, and the table plate 9 is fixed to the bracket 20. Therefore, the front and rear positions of the table plate 9 can be adjusted, and the angle can be arbitrarily adjusted at any of the front and rear positions.

  In the sixth embodiment shown in FIG. 7B, as in the first embodiment, when the bracket 20 is attached to the upper end of the front-reverse turning support column 8, the bracket 20 has the table plate 9 and the front panel. It is attached so that it can be flipped up to the side of 7. In this embodiment, since the front of the chair portion 3 can be largely opened, people can easily enter and leave.

(6). Seventh Embodiment In the first embodiment, the side panels 4, 5 and the front panel 7 were formed in a hollow structure having an inner plate and an outer plate, but a seventh embodiment shown in FIG. In the form, the side panels 4 and 5 and the front panel 7 are formed in a bag structure in which the top plate is provided on the upper end of the outer plate without including the inner plate. The front panel 7 is provided with a front plate 7a to enhance stability.

  In this embodiment, since the insides of the side panels 4 and 5 and the front panel 7 can be used as a loading place for luggage, there is an advantage that the storability of articles is improved. The seat 1 extends to the outer plate portions of the left and right side panels 4 and 5. Therefore, luggage such as bags and documents, or clothes such as coats can be placed on the seat 1.

  In this embodiment as well, the chair portion 3 can have a reclining structure, but in this case, the entire seat 1 can be configured to be movable, and as shown by the alternate long and short dash line, it corresponds to the backrest 2. It is also possible to make only the part that is movable. When only the part corresponding to the backrest 2 is made movable, the seat 1 is naturally divided into three parts, left and right.

  In the seventh embodiment, the table plate 9 is attached to the upper end of the column 8 which can be rotated forward and backward via the bracket 20 and the spacer 44. The column 8 has a plate shape, and the pin 45 is rotatably connected to the inner surface of the outer plate of the front panel 7. Since the bracket 30 enters the inside of the front panel 7, the table plate 9 is fixed to the bracket 20 via the spacer 44.

  Then, a wide portion 8c is provided at the upper end portion of the support column 8, and a guide groove 46 having a radius of curvature centered on the pin 45 is formed in the wide portion, while the outer plate of the front panel 7 is viewed from the side of the support column 8. A reinforcing plate 47 that overlaps the wide portion 8c is fixed, and a guide pin 48 that is fitted into the guide groove 46 so as not to come off is attached to the reinforcing plate 47. A friction ring 49 located between the column 8 and the reinforcing plate 47 is fitted into the guide pin 48. Therefore, the front and rear positions and the posture of the table plate 9 are held by the frictional force of the friction ring 49.

(7). Eighth to Eleventh Embodiments FIG. 9A shows an eighth embodiment. In this embodiment, the side panels 4 and 5 and the front panel 7 are formed in a bag shape as in FIG. 8, but the left side panel 4 is formed by cutting the upward inner plate above the seat 1. 1, an article storage portion 50 having an upward opening is formed below 1.

  As shown by the alternate long and short dash line, it is also possible to hollow the rear portions of the top plates of the side panels 4 and 5 inward. The table plate 9 can be moved back and forth by the same means as in FIG. In this case, as shown by the alternate long and short dash line, the table plate 9 may be configured to be capable of being flipped up to the front panel 7 side. The enclosure plates 11 and 12 are omitted in FIGS.

  The ninth embodiment shown in FIG. 9B is a modification of the embodiment shown in FIG. The difference from the embodiment of FIG. 8 is that the table plate 9 is set to a height that allows it to enter the inside of the front panel 7, and is mounted on the bracket 20 so as to be slidable left and right by a guide means 51 such as a linear rail. That is the point.

  FIG. 10A shows a tenth embodiment. In this embodiment, first, the side panels 4, 5 and the back panel 6 have a two-layer structure of an inner layer 4 ', 5', 6'and an outer layer 4 ", 5", 6 ", respectively. On the outer layers 4 ″ and 5 ″ of 4,5, cut-out portions that open to the front and at the top are formed, and a blind plate 52 such as a resin plate is attached to the cut-open portions. The outer layer is a height that surrounds the occupant, but is made of an opaque plate material.

  In this embodiment, a wall plate 53 is mounted on the outer surface of one of the side panels 4 so as to be slidable back and forth, and the front portion of the wall plate 54 is projected in front of the side panels 4 and 5 to form the front panel 7. There is. In the figure, a table plate 9 is attached to the front panel 7 by post mounting so that the table plate 9 can be moved back and forth through a column 8. However, the table plate is attached so as to enter the thick portion of the front panel 7, It is also possible to pull out 7 to the front and then to tilt it in a horizontal position.

  Alternatively, the table plate may be separated from the front panel 7, and may be attachable to and detachable from the front panel 7 by combining an engaging hole and an engaging claw. Furthermore, it is also possible to configure the upper part of the front panel 7 to be a folding type so as to be tilted inward so that a part of the front panel can be used as a table plate.

  The wall plate 53 has the same height as the side panels 4 and 5, but if it is set to the same height as the inner layers 4'and 5'of the side panels 4 and 5, the openness is enhanced. In this case, the table plate 9 on the front panel 7 in the front part of the wall plate 53 can be freely changed between the folded state in which the table plate 9 is overlapped with the outer surface of the front panel 7 and the horizontal flip-up position located on the front side of the seat 1. It is also possible to attach to.

  In the present embodiment and other embodiments, the table plate 9 can be horizontally rotatably connected to the upper ends of the columns 8 and the like, if the conditions permit.

  FIG. 10B shows the eleventh embodiment. In this embodiment, the side panels 4, 5 and the front panel 7 have a bag structure, and the side panel 4 is not attached to the side panel 4 on the side where the table plate 9 is not attached, as in FIG. 9A. The storage part 50 is formed. Further, as a feature of this embodiment, the front half of the side panel 4 to which the table plate 9 is not attached is cut off above the seat 1. Therefore, a person can easily enter and leave the interior of the furniture from the side.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the table plate 9 is attached to the slide frame 54 having the legs 54a, but the slide frame 54 is attached to the front panel 7 so as to be movable back and forth. Since the casters 55 of the roller type or the like are provided on the feet 54a of the slide frame 54, the table plate 9 can be moved back and forth in a stable state.

  Further, in this embodiment, the table plate 9 is rotatably attached to the horizontal portion of the slide frame 54. Therefore, the side view posture can be arbitrarily adjusted at any front and rear position. The foot 54a of the slide frame 54 projects to the front side of the left side panel 4 located on the opposite side of the front panel 7, but since the left side panel 4 is largely cut off, a person can easily put it inside the furniture. You can easily get in and out. The foot 54a of the slide frame 54 does not interfere with the foot of a person while the seated person is working.

(8). Twelfth to thirteenth embodiments (FIGS. 11 to 12)
In the twelfth embodiment shown in FIG. 12, the chair portion 3 is of a sofa type or a bench type independent of the side panel 5, and is provided with left and right separated legs 57. On the other hand, in this embodiment, the right side panel 5 is arranged on the right side of the chair portion 3, and the front panel 7 is integrally provided at the front end of the side panel 5. Therefore, the side panel 5 and the front panel 7 are integrated with each other, and the upper surfaces of both are formed by one upper plate.

  A front curtain plate 58, which is long in the left-right direction and located in front of the seated person, is integrally provided at the front end of the side panel 5, whereby the panels 5 and 7 and the front curtain plate 58 are made independent. Further, a bottom plate 59 connected to the front curtain plate 58 and the front panel 7 and installed on the floor is also provided. Due to the presence of the bottom plate 59, the stability of the panels 5 and 7 and the front curtain plate 58 is remarkably improved, and the structure is sturdy as a whole. The upper surface of the front curtain plate 58 is slightly inclined with respect to the horizontal so that it becomes lower as it goes away from the front panel 7, but it may be formed horizontally. Further, the front curtain plate 58 may be higher than the table plate 9.

  The table plate 9 is attached to the front panel 7 via a plate-shaped rotatable column 8. The column 8 can be rotated back and forth by the same means as in the first embodiment, and the movement of the table plate 9 is the same as in the first embodiment. As clearly shown in FIG. 12B, the upper end of the front curtain plate 58 is located slightly ahead of the front end of the table plate 9, but the front and rear positions of both may be aligned.

  In this embodiment, the panels 5 and 7, the front curtain plate 58, and the bottom plate 59 form a frame-shaped structure 60 that surrounds the seated person from the right and front and has the table plate 9 attached thereto. The furniture is a combination of a body 60 and an independent chair part (chair) 3. Therefore, various combinations can be provided by selecting various chair portions. Thus, the aspect in which the chair portion 3 (chair) is separated is also included in the present invention.

  The side panel 5 and the front panel 7 have a lateral width of, for example, about 20 cm, and a seated person can rest their elbows. In addition, it is possible to perform writing work on the upper plate and operate a terminal such as a smartphone. Of course, cups, bottles, lunch boxes, etc. can also be placed. As shown by the alternate long and short dash line in FIG. 1, the cavity 61 (article storage) can be formed in the side panel 5 also in the previous embodiment such as the first embodiment. The cavity 61 can also be formed in the front panel 7.

  The side panel 5 is formed with a cavity 61 that opens toward the chair 3. Therefore, bags and documents can be stored in the cavity 61. A square hole 62 is formed on the front surface of the cavity 61, and a panel equipped with an outlet, a USB port, or the like can be attached to the hole 62. Therefore, it is convenient for charging smartphones and mobile phones. Although luggage such as a bag can be placed on the bottom plate 59, the luggage is very convenient because it is hidden by the front curtain plate 58.

  The thirteenth embodiment shown in FIG. 12 is basically the same as the twelfth embodiment, and the only difference is that the legs 57 of the chair portion 3 are box-shaped. In the layout example shown in FIG. 12B, when furniture is arranged side by side, the front end of the chair portion 3 of the furniture on the right side is aligned with the front end of the front panel 7 of the furniture on the left side. Therefore, a large number of furniture are arranged side by side while shifting the front and rear positions.

  Therefore, the furniture next door (on the left) does not get in the way when entering or leaving the furniture. In addition, since the furniture that is adjacent to the left and right is also displaced to the front and back, the distance between people is appropriately large, and it is possible to concentrate on the work. It is also possible to provide a blinding enclosure at the outer edges of the panels 5, 7 as in previous embodiments.

(9). Fourteenth and fifteenth embodiments (FIGS. 13 to 15)
Similarly to the thirteenth embodiment, the fourteenth embodiment shown in FIGS. 13 and 14 also includes a frame-shaped structure 60 and a chair portion 3 which are independent of each other. The chair portion 3 is a sofa type having box-shaped legs 57. The frame-shaped structure 60 has a side panel 5 and a front panel 7, which are integrally connected, and a front curtain plate 58 and a bottom plate 59.
