Description

There is an application for exception of loss of novelty

The present invention relates to a stool having both design and strength.

In general, the exterior of a building or an outdoor structure installed in a park is known as an important factor that determines the impression of the appearance of the entire building or the outdoor space in which it is installed. Therefore, many outdoor structures are designed in consideration of design, and a bench having a good appearance has been proposed conventionally (for example, Patent Document 1).

The invention described in Patent Document 1 describes a bench in which a joining tool for joining a leg forming member and a seat forming member is covered with a cover material to conceal it. In the present invention, since miscellaneous fittings such as bolts and nuts are not exposed on the front side, the aesthetic appearance of the bench can be improved. Further, the portion to be the seat surface is formed by arranging a plurality of crosspieces made of wood with a slight gap between them, so that rainwater does not collect on the seat surface in rainy weather.

However, in the invention described in Patent Document 1, since the leg forming member is not formed of a natural material, in the case of a park with many vegetation or the main garden of a house where plants are provided in the surroundings, the entire exterior is used. It's hard to balance. In addition, although the joints are hidden, the cover material is installed, so the number of members is larger than that of the bench where only the leg forming member and the seat forming member are exposed on the front side, and the appearance is miscellaneous. May be given. On the other hand, stool furniture used outdoors such as a bench needs to have weather resistance and strength that can withstand wind and rain, and it is important to make furniture that has not only design but also strength.

Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a stool that can be used outdoors and has both design and strength.

The first stool of the present invention is a stool in which a horizontal member forming a seat surface is erected between a pair of leg members that are erected at intervals from each other, and a plurality of vertical rod members are used. The pair of leg members are connected and fixed at predetermined intervals, and the horizontal members are connected and fixed to each other by opening a plurality of horizontal bars at predetermined intervals. Both ends in the length direction are joined to the upper ends of the plurality of vertical bars by a splicing process.

The second stool of the present invention is fixed across the plurality of vertical bars, and is fixed across the first connecting member for connecting the plurality of vertical bars and the plurality of horizontal bars. A second connecting member for connecting a plurality of horizontal bars is provided, the first connecting member is fixed to a side surface facing adjacent leg members of the vertical bars, and the second connecting member is horizontal. It is characterized in that it is fixed across the lower surface of the bar and the side surface of the vertical bar.

The third stool of the present invention is installed between the first connecting member fixed to one of the leg members and the first connecting member fixed to the other leg member, and is the pair. A reinforcing material for reinforcing the strength of the leg member is provided, and the reinforcing material is characterized in that the reinforcing material is installed at a position separated from each end edge in the width direction of the pair of leg members by a certain distance.

According to the first stool of the present invention, the pair of leg members are formed by connecting and fixing a plurality of vertical bars at predetermined intervals, and the horizontal member is formed by connecting and fixing the plurality of horizontal bars at predetermined intervals. It is formed by connecting and fixing. Therefore, it is possible to prevent rainwater from accumulating on the seat surface in rainy weather. In addition, since both ends of each of the plurality of horizontal bars in the length direction are joined to the upper ends of the plurality of vertical bars by a splicing process, the edge surface of the vertical bars and the horizontal bars and joining tools such as bolts are used. Can be made into a highly designed stool with a clean appearance without being exposed.

According to the second stool of the present invention, the first connecting member for connecting the plurality of vertical bars is fixed to the side surface facing the adjacent leg members of the vertical bars, and the plurality of horizontal bars are connected to each other. The second connecting member is fixed so as to straddle the lower surface of the horizontal bar and the side surface of the vertical bar. Therefore, since the first connecting material and the second connecting material are installed at positions that are difficult to see from the outside, not at places that are easily visible such as the seat surface and the front side surface of the leg member, the stool should be a highly designed stool. Can be done. Further, since the number of vertical bars and horizontal bars to be installed can be increased or decreased by adjusting the length of each connecting material, the length of the stool can be easily adjusted according to the installation location, the number of users, and the like.

As shown in FIGS. 4 and 6, the horizontal bar 31 is a wooden square member extending in the horizontal direction, and is processed so that both end faces 31a in the longitudinal direction are inclined. The both end faces 31a are inclined so that one side 32a on the lower end side is located closer to the central portion in the longitudinal direction of the horizontal bar 31 than the one side 32b on the upper end side, and the inclination angle is 45 degrees. Further, in the horizontal bar 31, the length of one side 32b on the upper end side is the same as the length of the first side 22a of the vertical bar 21, and the height of the second side surface 31b orthogonal to the one side 32b on the upper end side is It is the same as the width of the first side surface 21b of the vertical bar 21. The length L1 of the horizontal bar 31 is formed to be about 340 mm to 380 mm.

The vertical bar 21 and the horizontal bar 31 are made of hardwood such as barau, which has excellent weather resistance, and when used as an outdoor structure, they are in harmony with surrounding plants and stones over time. The balance of the entire exterior can be maintained. Further, as the rods 21 and 31, these general-purpose products may be used as long as they have the above-mentioned dimensions and materials, and wood louver materials generally used as outdoor fence materials may be used.

As shown in FIGS. 3, 5 and 6, the plurality of vertical rods 21 constituting the respective leg members 2 are erected with the directions of the first side 22a aligned, and are spaced apart from each other by a predetermined distance L2. Stand up. Further, these vertical bars 21 are connected and fixed by a first connecting member 4 which is fixed across the vertical bars 21. The first connecting member 4 is a long flat bar, and is fixed to the third side surface 21c on the second side 22b side of each vertical bar 21 and the lower end portion of the third side surface 21c with a screw (not shown). .. The leg member 2 thus formed has an overall length L3 in the width direction shown in FIG. 3 which is the same as the length L1 of the horizontal bar 31.

As shown in the figure, the pair of leg members 2 are erected at intervals with the third side surfaces 21c of the vertical rods 21 facing each other, and a plurality of horizontal rods 31 are erected between them. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 6, the plurality of horizontal rods 31 are arranged so that both end faces 31a in the longitudinal direction abut on the upper surface 21a of each vertical rod 21 constituting the pair of leg members 2. Therefore, it is in a state where L2 is opened at a predetermined interval from each other. The plurality of horizontal rods 31 are connected and fixed by a second connecting material 5 that is fixed across the horizontal rods 31. The second connecting member 5 is a long L-angle member, and as shown in FIG. 2, the corner portion is along the corner portion formed by the lower surface 31c of the horizontal bar 31 and the third side surface 21c of the vertical member 21. They are installed together and fixed to each surface with screws (not shown). In this way, each horizontal bar 31 is joined to the upper end 23 of each vertical bar 21 by splicing both ends 33 in the length direction, so that the area around the joint with the vertical bar 21 is neat. Can be.

The predetermined distance L2 shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 is about 2.5 mm to 4 mm, and is preferably 3 mm. With such a distance, it is possible to effectively prevent rainwater from accumulating on the seat surface 3a in rainy weather. Further, by arranging the vertical bars 21 and the horizontal bars 31 at intervals, the weight of the entire stool 1 can be suppressed, and the stool 1 can be easily carried. At this time, since the plurality of vertical bars 21 are joined together with the horizontal bars 31 one by one, the edge surfaces of the bars 21 and 31 are not exposed on the front side, and the design is high. It can be a stool 1.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 5, a pair of first connecting members 4 fixed to one leg member 2 and a first connecting member 4 fixed to the other leg member 2 are provided. A reinforcing material 6 for reinforcing the strength of the leg member 2 is installed. The reinforcing member 6 has a flat bar 61 installed between the first connecting members 4 and two angle pieces 62 for joining the flat bar 61 and the first connecting member 4. In the reinforcing member 6, both ends in the longitudinal direction of the flat bar 61 are directed toward the fourth side surface 41a of each first connecting member 4, and the corner portions of each angle piece 62 are directed to the fourth side surface 41a of the first connecting member 4, respectively. And along the corner formed by the fifth side surface 61a which is one side surface of the flat bar 61, and fixed to the respective surfaces 41a and 61a with screws (not shown).

As shown in FIG. 5, two sets of the reinforcing members 6 are installed on the pair of leg members 2, and each reinforcing member 6 is constant from each end edge 24 in the width direction of the pair of leg members 2. It is arranged at a position separated by a distance of L4 or more. It is desirable that the distance L4 from each end edge 24 in the width direction of the leg member 2 to the reinforcing material 6 is about 90 mm to 120 mm or more, and if it is such a distance, the reinforcing material 6 is difficult to visually recognize. , Can be a stool with high design. Further, at this time, it is desirable that each angle piece 62 is installed on the side surface of the flat bar 61 opposite to the end edge 24 side closest to the side surface. By adjusting the installation position of the angle piece 62 in this way, it is possible to make it difficult to see miscellaneous parts such as the joint portion between the flat bar 61 and the first connecting member 4, and the stool 1 is more aesthetically pleasing. Can be improved.

The first connecting material 4, the second connecting material 5, and the reinforcing material 6 are made of aluminum having a thickness of about 2 mm, and the surface thereof is coated. It is desirable that the paint color be the same color as or similar to that of the leg member 2 and the horizontal member 3, and by using such a color, the appearance of the stool 1 can be made comfortable. In the present application, the same color means a color having the same measured value in each color system standardized by JIS (Japan Industrial Standards), or a standard color for paint specified by the Japan Paint Manufacturers Association. In addition to the colors having the same color tag number, even if the measured values and the color tag numbers are different, the colors that a person visually perceives to be substantially the same are also included.

The stool 1 thus formed has a weight of about 15 kg to 20 kg, and with such a weight, it can be erected stably without tipping over due to some wind and rain, and depending on the situation. Can be carried. Although the stool for one person is described in this embodiment, the vertical bar 21 and the horizontal bar 31 are easily connected and fixed by the connecting members 4, 5 and the reinforcing members 6. The total length of the stool 1 can be adjusted. That is, for example, if it is desired to extend the total length of the stool 1, the first connecting member 4 and the second connecting member 5 can be replaced with longer ones, or if they are added, the number of vertical bars 21 and horizontal bars 31 installed can be increased. It can be increased and the length of the stool 1 can be extended. At this time, even if the number of horizontal bar members 31 installed is increased, no seam appears on the horizontal member 3 serving as the seat surface 3a, so that it is possible to construct a stool that is highly aesthetically pleasing and harmonizes with the surrounding exterior. ..

Further, the stool 1 of the present application can be made into furniture in which a plurality of people can sit comfortably by combining a plurality of stools 1 without extending the total length as described above. That is, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, if a plurality of stools 1 are arranged in parallel without a distance, they can be used like a bench having a long length. At this time, the taste of the entire stool can be easily changed by aligning or differentiating the directions of the leg members 2. Further, if three stools 1 are arranged in parallel at a distance and a person sits on each of the stools 1 at both ends with the central stool 1 in between, the central stool 1 can be used as a table.

Furthermore, if the stool 1 and the fence material, which are made of the same material, are used at the same time as the outdoor structure, the harmony of the entire exterior can be further maintained, and a unified outdoor space can be constructed.

The embodiment of the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and can be appropriately changed without departing from the scope of the idea of the present invention.

The stool according to the present invention can be suitably used for a main garden or a terrace of a detached house.
