A first embodiment of a furniture unit according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a furniture unit according to this embodiment, and FIG. 2 is a side view showing the furniture unit according to this embodiment. In the figure, reference numeral 100 denotes a furniture unit.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the furniture unit 100 according to the present embodiment includes a curved bench (chair) 10A, a curved bench (chair) 10B, and a multi-stage shelf member (first auxiliary furniture) 30. . The curved bench 10A and the curved bench 10B have the same configuration, and are only arranged differently with respect to the multi-stage shelf member 30. As shown in FIG. Since the curved bench 10A and the curved bench 10B have the same configuration, the curved bench 10 will be described below.

A curved bench (chair) 10, as shown in FIGS. (support structure) 13;

The seating surface 11 is a substantially horizontal surface formed on the upper surface of the seat plate 12 . The seating surface 11 is formed on the entire surface of the seat plate 12 . Needless to say, the seating surface 11 of the curved bench 10A and the seating surface 11 of the curved bench 10B have the same height. That is, when they are arranged adjacent to each other, the seating surface 11 of the curved bench 10A and the seating surface 11 of the curved bench 10B are flush with each other.

The seat plate 12 is made of a plate with a uniform thickness and has an L-shaped profile with curved corners when viewed from above. That is, the seat plate 12 has both ends 12a formed in a straight line substantially orthogonal to each other, and a straight line portion 12b orthogonal to both ends 12a and an arc shape formed equidistant from the end 12a. It has a contour shape composed of an outer curved portion 12c and an inner curved portion 12d.

The seat plate 12 is composed of one plate on each side along the L-shaped center line, and an L-shaped gap is formed between these plates. In addition, the seat plate 12 may be configured from a single plate, configured from three or more plates, configured to have a gap parallel to the end portion 12a, or configured to have a straight portion 12b or an outer curved portion. A configuration having a gap that crosses the portion 12c is also possible.

Both ends 12a are formed to have the same length. The seat plate 12 is formed such that the distance between the linear portions 12b that are continuous at the corner positions that are both ends of the end portion 12a is equal to the length of the end portion 12a. These linear portions 12b are formed parallel to each other. The straight portion 12b has the same length from both ends 12a to the outer curved portion 12c. The lengths from both ends 12a to the inner curved portion 12d are formed to be equal.

The legs 13 are arranged at the central position of the four legs 13a arranged corresponding to the corners located at both ends 12a of the L-shaped outline and the arcuate outer curved portion 12c. and one leg portion 13b. The leg portion 13 a is composed of one rod-like member bent at two points in the same direction, and the portion sandwiched between the bent positions is fixed to the back surface of the seat plate 12 . The leg portion 13b is composed of one rod-shaped member bent at one point, and one portion corresponding to the bending position is fixed to the back surface of the seat plate 12. As shown in FIG. The leg portion 13b corresponds to one leg of the leg portion 13a.

Both of the legs 13a and 13b are fixed to the back surface of the seat plate 12 by fixing members (not shown). Each of the four legs 13a extends from the base portion fixed to the back surface of the seat plate 12 toward the lower end of the leg portion 13a from the corner position formed by the end portion 12a and the straight portion 12b to the contour of the seat plate 12. Slightly sloping towards the outside of the shape. The lower end of the leg portion 13a is located inside the contour shape of the seat plate 12 in plan view, and the lower end of the leg portion 13a protrudes outside the contour shape of the seat plate 12 in plan view. don't
Like the leg 13a, the leg 13b is slightly inclined from the fixed base toward the lower end of the leg 13b toward the curved outer side of the outer curved portion 12c.

The curved bench 10A and the curved bench 10B are arranged at positions where the ends 12a are in parallel contact with each other. At this time, the curved bench 10A and the curved bench 10B are preferably arranged so that the straight portions 12b that are continuous with the adjacent outer curved portions 12c are linearly continuous.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the multistage shelf member 30 can be arranged adjacent to the curved bench 10A and the curved bench 10B. The multi-stage shelf member 30 includes a lower plate 32 having a first functional surface 31 at the same height as the seating surface 11, and an intermediate plate 34 parallel to and spaced from the lower plate 32 at a position higher than the lower plate 32. , an upper plate 36 arranged parallel to the lower plate 32 and the intermediate plate 34 and spaced apart at a position higher than the intermediate plate 34; and a support portion 38 for supporting.

A top surface of the intermediate plate 34 is a second functional surface 35 . Both the first functional surface 31 and the second functional surface 35 are formed horizontally. An upper surface 37 of the upper plate 36 is formed parallel to the first functional surface 31 and the second functional surface 35 .
The lower plate 32, the middle plate 34, and the upper plate 36 all have rectangular contours, for example, substantially square contours in plan view. The contour shapes of the lower plate 32, the intermediate plate 34 and the upper plate 36 are similar to each other.

The contour shape of the lower plate 32 is larger than the contour shape of the middle plate 34 . That is, the edge of the contour shape of the middle plate 34 in plan view is positioned inside the edge of the contour shape of the lower plate 32 . The profile of the middle plate 34 is larger than the profile of the top plate 36 . That is, the top plate 36 has a contour-shaped edge in a plan view located inside the contour-shaped edge of the intermediate plate 34 . The lower plate 32, the intermediate plate 34 and the upper plate 36 are arranged such that the centers of the substantially squares are aligned in plan view.

The lower plate 32, the intermediate plate 34, and the upper plate 36 have smaller lateral and longitudinal dimensions as they go upward. In other words, the contours of the lower plate 32, the middle plate 34 and the upper plate 36 recede as they go upward.
The substantially square lower plate 32 has a side length approximately equal to twice the length of the straight portion 12b connected to the inner curved portion 12d in the contour of the seating surface 11 .

The support portions 38 are erected in four straight lines. The support portion 38 is a rod-shaped or pipe-shaped member having a uniform diameter over its entire length. The support portions 38 are connected to the contoured corners of the bottom plate 32, the middle plate 34 and the top plate 36, which are generally square. The support portion 38 is fixed to the lower surfaces of the lower plate 32, the middle plate 34 and the upper plate 36 by fixing members 32b, 34b and 36b (FIG. 2).

The supports 38 are downwardly angled outwardly from the contoured corners of the lower plate 32 , middle plate 34 and upper plate 36 . That is, the lower end 38a of the support portion 38 is located outside the contour edge of the lower plate 32 in plan view. The upper end 38b of the support portion 38 is located inside the contour edge of the upper plate 36 in plan view.
A lower end 38a of the support portion 38 functions as a leg of the multi-stage shelf member 30 and contacts the floor surface.

An upper end 38 b of the support portion 38 protrudes above the upper surface 37 of the upper plate 36 . All four upper ends 38b are positioned at the same height. A horizontal member 36a is bridged over the support portion 38 along the periphery of the upper plate 36 at a height above the upper surface 37 of the upper plate 36 and between the upper end 38b. The horizontal member 36a functions as a member for preventing objects placed on the upper surface 37 from falling.

The curved bench 10A, the curved bench 10B, and the multistage shelf member 30 are arranged adjacently. A support portion 38 outside the contour of the first functional surface 31 can be arranged adjacent to the inner curved portion 12d. At this time, the linear portions 12b connected to both ends of the inner curved portion 12d are arranged so as to be parallel to the sides of the substantially square first functional surface 31 .
In this state, the seating direction of the curved bench 10A and the curved bench 10B is the direction away from the multi-stage shelf member 30. As shown in FIG. In other words, many people sit on the curved benches 10A and 10B with their backs facing the multi-stage shelf member 30 .

In the curved bench 10A and the curved bench 10B, the sitting direction is defined as the first direction. That is, the first direction is the horizontal direction along the seating surface 11 and the seating direction is the direction toward the outside of the contour shape of the seating surface 11, which is indicated by the two-dot chain line arrow in FIG. The first direction may be a direction away from the multistage shelf member 30 toward the outside of the outer curved portion 12c.

Furthermore, the second direction is defined as opposite to the first direction in the curved benches 10A and 10B. That is, the second direction is defined as a direction parallel to one end 12 a and close to the multi-stage shelf member 30 . The second direction is a horizontal direction along the seating surface 11 and is indicated by a dashed arrow in FIG. In addition, the second direction may be a direction approaching the multi-stage shelf member 30 from the outside of the outer curved portion 12c.

A third direction is defined as a direction that crosses the second direction and approaches the multi-stage shelf member 30 . Specifically, the third direction is defined as a direction orthogonal to the straight portion 12b parallel to the second direction indicated by the dashed arrow in FIG. The third direction is indicated by a solid-line arrow in FIG. 1 as a horizontal direction along the seating surface 11 and crossing the sides of the substantially square first functional surface 31 . In the figure, these arrows are described for the curved bench 10B, but the same applies to the curved bench 10A.

Here, as shown in FIG. 1, the edge portion of the seating surface serving as the front edge in the seating direction (first direction), that is, one linear portion 12b continuous with the outer curved portion 12c is the first side edge. be done. That is, the straight portion 12b, which is a side edge that intersects the arrow described as the first direction, is the first side edge. The first side edge may be the front edge in the seating direction, and may be the other straight portion 12b that is continuous with the outer curved portion 12c. Alternatively, the first side edge can be the outer curved portion 12c.
Furthermore, when the multi-tiered shelf member 30 is arranged in an adjacent position different from the illustrated state, any one of the linear portions 12b that closely follow the first functional surface 31 corresponding to the embodiment shown in each figure is moved to the first position. It is also possible to use one side edge, or to use the inner curved portion 12d as the first side edge.

Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 1, the second side edge is a straight portion 12b that runs close to the first functional surface 31, which is the rear edge in the seating direction opposite to the front edge in the seating direction. Further, the corresponding side edge of the seat plate 12 can be appropriately selected according to the selected first side edge. In this case, for example, the side edge that intersects the arrow described as the second direction is the second side edge.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 1, the third side edge is the side edge of the seat plate 12 in a direction different from that of the second side edge. One straight portion 12b continuous with the curved portion 12d is defined as a third side edge. Further, the corresponding side edge of the seat plate 12 can be appropriately selected according to the selected first side edge. For example, it is possible to use one of the ends 12a as the third side edge.

By defining the first to third directions and defining the first to third side edges in this way, the curved bench 10A, the curved bench 10B, and the multi-tiered shelf member 30 form the first functional surface of the multi-tiered shelf member 30. 31 can be arranged at an adjacent position adjacent in the second direction to the seating surface 11 of the curved bench 10B. Also, the first functional surface 31 of the multi-tiered shelf member 30 can be arranged at an adjacent position adjacent to the seating surface 11 of the curved bench 10B in the third direction. That is, it is possible to arrange the first functional surface 31 of the multi-stage shelf member 30 adjacent to the seating surface 11, which is curved in an L shape in plan view, on the inside of the curve.

At this time, the seating surface 11 and the first functional surface 31 are adjacent to each other with a distance corresponding to the thickness of the support portion 38 . Moreover, the curved bench 10A and the curved bench 10B have the same configuration, and are arranged in a state rotated by 90 degrees with respect to the multi-stage shelf member 30. As shown in FIG. As a result, the curved bench 10A and the curved bench 10B surround half of the multi-stage shelf member 30 .

In addition, when the seated person can be seated by using the outer curved portion 12c or the straight portion 12b of the outer edge as the first side edge so that the seated person faces the curved outward direction of the curved bench 10, one side of the contour of the first functional surface 31 However, the curved bench 10 and the multi-stage shelf member 30 can be relatively arranged along the straight portion 12b that is the second side edge. Similarly, the curved bench 10 and the multi-tiered shelf member 30 can be arranged relative to each other such that the other side of the outline of the first functional surface 31 is aligned with the straight portion 12b that is the third side edge.

Depending on the selected first side edge, one side of the outline of the corresponding first functional surface 31 is arranged substantially parallel to the straight portion 12b, which is the second side edge and/or the third side edge. , the curved bench 10 and the multi-level shelf member 30 can be arranged relative to each other.

According to the furniture unit 100 according to the present embodiment, when the curved bench 10A, the curved bench 10B, and the multi-stage shelf member 30 are arranged adjacently, the seating surface 11 and the first functional surface 31 are flush and adjacent to each other. can do. At this time, since the first functional surface 31 can be attached at a position adjacent to the seating surface 11 in the second direction, a spatial margin can be provided in the direction facing the seated person. Therefore, even when sitting side by side on the curved benches 10A and 10B, baggage can be temporarily placed on the first functional surface 31 adjacent to the seating surface 11 when having a short meeting or chatting with a person sitting next to it. You can respond appropriately to requests such as placing.

In addition, since the function of the seating surface 11 can be expanded in the second direction and the third direction in which the seated person does not face the seating surface 11 by the first functional surface 31, for example, the seating surface 11 of the curved bench 10A and the curved bench 10B has an upper surface. Unlike tables with different heights, the space between fixtures can be narrowed.
Therefore, even in a small space, it is possible to construct the furniture unit 100 in which furniture having different functions are appropriately arranged.

By using the curved bench 10A and the curved bench 10B in a state where the multi-stage shelf member 30 is placed in a position adjacent to it in the second direction, depending on the space such as the size of the room where the furniture unit 100 is arranged. , the direction and position of connecting the first functional surface 31 to the seating surface 11 can be changed.

By arranging the seating surfaces 11 of the curved benches 10A and 10B so as to be adjacent to the first functional surface 31 of the multi-tiered shelf member 30, which is substantially square, from both the second direction and the third direction. , the first functional surface 31 can be used simultaneously from multiple directions.

As the first direction, a direction opposite to the third direction shown in FIG. 1 can also be defined. In this case, the third direction shown in FIG. 1 corresponds to the second direction, and the second direction shown in FIG. 1 corresponds to the third direction. Even in this case, the first functional surface 31 can be used simultaneously from multiple directions.

Arranging the curved bench 10A and the curved bench 10B close to each other in a direction crossing the first direction, that is, the two curved benches 10A and 10B are arranged close to each other so that the ends 12a of the curved benches 10A and 10B are parallel to each other. can do. Thereby, it becomes possible to use the curved bench 10A and the curved bench 10B in a state in which the seating surfaces 11 are flush with each other. Therefore, the number of people seated on the curved bench 10 can be increased. Alternatively, by surrounding the half circumference of the multi-tiered shelf member 30 with a plurality of curved benches 10A and 10B of the same shape, it is possible to arrange a single first functional surface 31 to expand the functions of the plurality of seating surfaces 11 at the same time. be able to. As a result, the degree of freedom of layout layout in the furniture unit 100 can be improved.

A second embodiment of a furniture unit according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing a furniture unit in this embodiment. In this embodiment, the difference from the first embodiment described above is the point regarding the chair, and other than this, it corresponds to the first embodiment described above. The same reference numerals are given to the configurations to be performed, and the description thereof will be omitted.

In this embodiment, as a chair, a straight bench (chair) 20 is provided instead of the curved bench 10 of the first embodiment.
In the furniture unit 100 of this embodiment, four straight benches (chairs) 20A to 20D are arranged around a multi-tiered shelf member (first auxiliary furniture) 30, as shown in FIG. Since the four straight benches 20A to 20D have the same configuration, the straight bench 20 will be described below.

As with the curved bench 10, the straight bench 20 includes a seat plate (seat) 22 that forms a seating surface 21, and legs (support structure) 23 that are placed on the floor and support the seat plate 22. have.

The seating surface 21 is a substantially horizontal surface formed on the upper surface of the seat plate 22 . The seating surface 21 is formed on the entire surface of the seat plate 22 . Needless to say, the seating surfaces 21 of the straight benches 20A to 20D have the same height. In other words, when these are arranged adjacently, the seating surfaces 21 of the straight benches 20A to 20D are flush with each other.

The seat plate 22 is made of a plate with a uniform thickness and has a rectangular contour shape when viewed from above. That is, the seat plate 22 has both ends 22a formed in a straight line shape parallel to each other, and has a contour shape composed of a longitudinal straight line portion 22b orthogonal to both ends 22a.

The seat plate 22 is composed of one plate on each side along a center line connecting the centers of both ends 22a in the longitudinal direction. A gap is formed. It should be noted that the seat plate 22 may be composed of a single plate, composed of three or more plates, or configured to have a gap parallel to the end portion 22a.
Both ends 22a are formed to have the same length. The seat plate 22 is formed so that the distance between the straight portions 22b at both ends is equal to the length of the end portions 22a over the entire length in the longitudinal direction.

Like the leg portion 13a, the leg portion 23 is composed of four leg portions 23 arranged corresponding to the corners located at both ends 22a of the rectangular contour shape. The leg portion 23 is composed of one rod-like member bent at two points in the same direction, and the portion sandwiched between the bending positions is fixed to the back surface of the seat plate 22 .

The legs 23 are fixed to the rear surface of the seat plate 22 by fixing members (not shown).

The straight benches 20A-20D and the multi-tiered shelf member 30 are arranged adjacent to each other. These can be arranged so that one side of the first functional surface 31 in the substantially positive direction is close to the linear portion 22b. At this time, the straight portions 22b of the four straight benches 20A to 20D are each parallel to the side of the substantially square first functional surface 31, and both longitudinal ends of the straight portions 22b are substantially square first functional surfaces. They are arranged in four directions so as to correspond to the corners of the surface 31 and correspond to each other.

The linear bench 20A and the linear bench 20B, the linear bench 20B and the linear bench 20C, and the linear bench 20C and the linear bench 20D have a positional relationship rotated by 90 degrees. The straight benches 20A and 20B, the straight bench 20B and the straight bench 20C, and the straight bench 20C and the straight bench 20D are arranged such that the corners of the end portions 22a and the straight portions 22b are closest to each other.

In this state, the sitting direction on the straight benches 20A to 20D is the direction away from the multi-stage shelf member 30. As shown in FIG. In other words, on each of the straight benches 20A to 20D, many people sit with their backs facing the multi-tiered shelf member 30. As shown in FIG.

In the straight benches 20A-20D, the sitting direction is defined as the first direction. That is, the first direction is the horizontal direction along the seating surface 21 and the direction toward the outer contour of the seating surface 21 is the seating direction, which is indicated by the two-dot chain arrow in FIG. The first direction may be a direction orthogonal to the straight portion 22b and away from the multistage shelf member 30 toward the outside.

In other words, the second direction is defined as a direction parallel to both ends 22 a and close to the multi-stage shelf member 30 . The second direction is indicated by a dashed arrow in FIG. 3 as a horizontal direction along the seating surface 21 and crossing the sides of the substantially square first functional surface 31 . In addition, the second direction may be a direction approaching the multi-stage shelf member 30 from the outside of the outer curved portion 12c.
Also, in this embodiment, the third direction is not set.

In this way, if the first and second directions are defined, and the side edges that intersect the arrows in each direction corresponding to the first embodiment are defined as the first and third side edges, the straight benches 20A to 20D and The multi-tiered shelf member 30 can be arranged so that the first functional surface 31 of the multi-tiered shelf member 30 is adjacent to the seating surfaces 21 of the straight benches 20A to 20D in the second direction.

Able to respond appropriately to requests.

In addition, since the function of the seating surface 21 can be expanded by the first functional surface 31 toward the second direction that does not face the seated person, the height of the upper surface is different from that of the seating surfaces 21 of the straight benches 20A to 20D. Unlike the space between the fixtures, the space between the fixtures can be narrowed.
Therefore, even in a small space, it is possible to construct the furniture unit 100 in which furniture having different functions are appropriately arranged.

By using the multi-stage shelf member 30 in a position adjacent to the straight benches 20A to 20D in the second direction, the seating can be adjusted according to the space such as the size of the room in which the furniture unit 100 is arranged. It is possible to change the direction and position of connecting the first functional surface 31 to the surface 21 for use. Since the seat surface 21 of the straight benches 20A to 20D has a rectangular contour, it is possible to arrange them so that the first direction and the second direction are reversed.

By arranging the seating surfaces 21 of the four linear benches 20A to 20D so as to be adjacent to the first functional surface 31 of the multi-tiered shelf member 30, which is substantially square, from the second direction, the first functional surface 31 is formed. It can be used simultaneously from multiple directions. In addition, even when each of the adjacent straight benches 20A to 20D among the straight benches 20A to 20D is seated, for example, the first direction intersects the straight bench 20A and the straight bench 20B at an angle of 90 degrees. Even in this case, the first functional surface 31 can be used from multiple directions at the same time.
