The numerical range expressed as "lower limit XXX to upper limit YYY" means from lower limit XXX to upper limit YYY.

(vehicle)
Referring to the diagram indicated by reference numeral 100 in FIG. 1, a vehicle 1 includes a front area 2 corresponding to a passenger space and a rear area 3 corresponding to a cargo space. The vehicle 1 is not limited to a specific model. The vehicle 1 may be a one-box car in which a passenger space and a cargo space exist in one space. The vehicle 1 may be a two-box car in which the engine is disposed within the front bonnet, and the passenger space and the luggage compartment space exist in the same space. For convenience of explanation, in the following explanation, it is assumed that the vehicle 1 is a two-box car.

The front area 2 is located at the front of the vehicle 1 and includes a driver's seat and a passenger seat. The driver's seat may be provided on either the right side or the left side of the vehicle 1. For convenience of explanation, in the following explanation, it is assumed that the driver's seat is provided on the right side of the vehicle 1.

Referring to the diagram indicated by reference numeral 110 in FIG. 1, the rear area 3 is located behind the front area 2. The rear area 3 includes a right side door 4a on the driver's seat side, a left side door 4b on the passenger side, and a back door 5. The right side door 4a and the left side door 4b may be opened and closed in a sliding manner. The back door 5 may be opened and closed in a flip-up type or a side-opening type.

The rear area 3 has a work booth 7 inside. The work booth 7 is entered and exited mainly through the entrance 6 formed when the left side door 4b is opened, but may also be entered through the right side door 4a or the back door 5. When the right side door 4a and/or the left side door 4b are used as the entrance to the work booth 7, it is easy to enter and exit the work booth 7 even when the vehicle 1 is parked in a narrow parking space.

(work booth)
Next, the work booth 7 according to the present disclosure will be explained with reference to FIG. 2. FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an example of a work booth according to the present disclosure.

The work booth 7 is provided in the rear area 3 of the vehicle 1, and allows web conferences, PC work, telephone calls, etc. within the work booth 7. By being provided in the vehicle 1, the work booth 7 can provide the user with a work environment suitable for desk work while the vehicle 1 is being moved or parked at a business location, or while the vehicle 1 is traveling.

The work booth 7 includes a seat 20 on which a user sits, a work top plate 21 on which a PC or the like is placed, a support structure 22 that supports the work top plate 21, and a panel 25 that is also used as a screen background for a web conference. Be prepared. The work booth 7 may include a partition member 26 for partitioning the passenger seat and the rear area 3. The work booth 7 may include a sub-seat 27. The sub-seat 27 can be used as an ottoman or an auxiliary seat.

(sheet)
The seat 20 includes a backrest 20a and a seat surface 20b. The backrest 20a and the seat surface 20b are not limited to specific materials, shapes, and sizes, respectively. The seat 20 may include a seat belt (not shown). The seat belt may be used when a user is seated on the seat 20 and an occupant other than the user drives the vehicle 1.

The seat 20 is located at one corner on the front side of the work booth 7, and at the corner on the driver's seat side. When the driver's seat is on the right side, the seat 20 is located at the front right corner of the work booth 7. When the driver's seat is on the left side, the seat 20 is located at the left front corner of the work booth 7. Regardless of whether the driver's seat is on the right side or the left side, the seat 20 is installed so that the backrest 20a faces the direction in which the work booth 7 extends. The seat 20 may be located at the rear corner of the work booth 7. Further, the backrest 20a does not need to face exactly in the direction in which the diagonal line D of the work booth 7 extends, but may face in the direction in which it extends from the corner of the work booth 7 at an angle to the longitudinal direction of the vehicle 1. Bye. This direction is referred to as a substantially extending direction of the diagonal line D of the work booth 7. Hereinafter, when referring to the stretching direction of the diagonal line D of the work booth 7, it is assumed to include the substantially stretching direction.

According to the above configuration, the user seated on the seat 20 faces the extending direction of the diagonal line D of the work booth 7. The extending direction of the diagonal line D of the work booth 7 is the direction in which the longest distance within the work booth 7 can be secured. Therefore, the user can stretch his or her legs with plenty of time and can make the most of the limited space of the work booth 7.

The backrest 20a and the seat surface 20b may be integrally formed or may be separate bodies. When the backrest 20a and the seat surface 20b are formed separately, the relative positional relationship between the backrest 20a and the seat surface 20b may be adjustable. For example, the backrest 20a may be provided movably along the extending direction of the diagonal line D of the work booth 7 while the seat surface 20b is fixed. Further, the seat surface 20b may be provided movably along the extending direction of the diagonal line D of the work booth 7 while the backrest 20a is fixed. By folding down the backrest 20a, the seat surface 20b may be moved forward. The backrest 20a may be a backrest that is tilted back or a backrest that is reclinable. The seat surface 20b is fixed and the backrest 20a may be tilted backwards. The relative position of the backrest 20a and/or the seat surface 20b with a worktop 21 and/or a support structure 22, which will be described later, may be adjustable. When the backrest 20a and the seat surface 20b are integrally formed, the backrest 20a and the seat surface 20b may be slidable together in the extending direction of the diagonal line D of the work booth 7.

The backward inclination angle of the backrest 20a is not limited to a specific angle. The backrest 20a faces in the extending direction of the diagonal line D of the work booth 7, which allows the longest distance within the work booth 7 to be secured. Therefore, when the user wants to take a nap, the backrest 20a may be set at an angle of 0 degrees, 45 degrees, or 60 degrees with respect to the floor surface, and the user can take a nap on the seat 20 in a relaxed posture. be able to. At this time, the user may place a sub-seat 27 (described later) where the toes or calves are located, and by placing the feet on the sub-seat 27, the user can obtain a further resting posture.

The backrest 20a is a backrest that allows the seated person to lean backwards. The backrest 20a may be a backrest that is originally tilted back or a backrest that can be tilted back. Alternatively, the backrest 20a may bulge out at a portion where it contacts the lower back of the seated person than at a location where it contacts the back of the seated person, and when the seated person contacts the backrest 20a, the seated person is placed in a backward leaning position. It may be something that makes you take.

In this way, the backrest 20a can include various types of backrests that can provide the seated person with a backward leaning posture. In any case, the backrest 20a allows the user to work with the backrest 20a reclined, and provides the seated person with a working environment in which the user is less fatigued in a backward leaning position.

Here, the front edge of the seat surface 20b is defined as the portion of the seat surface 20b on the calf side of the seated person, and the rear edge portion of the seat surface 20b is defined as the portion of the seat surface 20b on the side of the seated person's buttocks. At this time, the seat surface 20b may be inclined such that the height from the floor decreases from the front edge toward the rear edge. Thereby, the seat 20 can encourage the seated person to lean backwards. The front edge of the seat surface 20b is provided at a height of 10 cm to 50 cm, preferably 30 cm to 40 cm, from the floor. The rear edge of the seat surface is set lower than the front edge in a range of 1 cm to 10 cm, preferably in a range of 3 cm to 6 cm.

In addition to tilting the seat surface to change the height of the seat from the floor, measures to encourage the seated person to lean backwards include recessing the part that supports the buttocks, or moving the part that supports the buttocks to another part. You may also adopt measures such as making it softer and increasing the cushioning properties of the buttocks.

Since the work booth 7 is provided inside the vehicle 1, the ceiling height of the work booth 7 is lower than that of a normal office space. Therefore, by tilting the backrest 20a backward and providing the seat surface 20b in a low seating position, the seat 20 makes it difficult for the head of the person seated on the seat 20 to come into contact with the upper surface of the vehicle 1.

Further, by having the following configuration, the seat surface 20b can provide a seat in which the seated person can easily take either a backward leaning posture or a forward leaning posture. This will be explained in detail below.

The seat surface 20b will be explained by dividing it into a front region and a rear region. The front region indicates the region on the calf side of the seated person, and the rear region indicates the region on the buttocks side of the seated person. The front region is sloped so that the height from the floor decreases toward the calf side of the seated person. In the rear region, an inclination is provided so that the height from the floor decreases toward the buttocks side of the seated person. As a result, when the seated person sits shallowly on the seat 20, the seated person can be encouraged to lean forward. Furthermore, when the seated person sits deeply on the seat 20, the seated person can be encouraged to lean backwards. In this way, the seat 20 can provide the user with a seat that can be easily tilted forward or backward. Even in the forward leaning position, the effect of making it difficult for the head of the user seated on the seat 20 to come into contact with the upper surface of the vehicle 1 can be obtained.

In this way, the work booth 7 uses the seat 20 that provides a "low-seat, backward-leaning" posture. Sitting low and leaning back has various benefits from an ergonomics perspective. Examples of the effects include reducing the load on the body even when working on a PC for long periods of time, being able to maintain a relaxed state for a long time, and being able to maintain concentration for a long period of time.

Furthermore, in the work booth 7, the top surface of the work top plate 21 (to be described later) may be tiltable with respect to the XY plane, and the work top plate 21 may be tiltable with respect to the XY plane. When used, the various effects described above can be achieved more easily.

The work top plate 21 may be fixed with the top surface inclined with respect to the XY plane.

(work top plate, support structure)
The work top plate 21 is arranged to face the seat 20. The work top plate 21 is arranged higher than the seat surface 20b of the seat 20. The work top plate 21 is not limited to a specific material, shape, and size. The work top plate 21 is used as a place to store materials, a PC, a display, a plastic bottle, etc., or as a work desk for the user.

The work top plate 21 may have a PC stand 21a on its upper surface. By placing the rear portion of the bottom surface of the notebook PC on the PC stand 21a, the notebook PC can be angled. This allows the user to comfortably work using the notebook PC.

The PC stand 21a may have a groove for inserting a tablet terminal or the like. By inserting the tablet terminal into the groove, the user can easily see the display of the tablet terminal, and there is no need to hold the tablet terminal with hands, thereby improving work efficiency.

The work top plate 21 may have a stopper portion (not shown) on the top surface to prevent objects placed on the work top plate 21 (documents, PCs, etc.) from falling. For example, the stopper portion is constituted by a protrusion that protrudes upward near the peripheral edge of the top surface. By locking documents, a PC, etc. to the protrusion, the user can prevent the placed object from falling even when the top surface of the work top plate 21 is inclined with respect to the XY plane.

The work top plate 21 may include a drink holder for holding a plastic bottle or the like.

The work booth 7 may include a side table used as an auxiliary table for the work top plate 21. When the top surface of the work top plate 21 is inclined with respect to the XY plane, a plastic bottle, a cup, or the like can be placed on the side table. The side table may be, for example, the top surface of the support structure 22.

The support structure 22 is a structure that supports the work top plate 21. The support structure 22 may support the worktop 21 so that the relative position with the support structure 22 remains unchanged. The support structure 22 may slidably support the worktop 21 so that its relative position with respect to the seat 20 changes. The support structure 22 may support the work top plate 21 such that the top surface of the work top plate 21 is tiltable with respect to the XY plane. The support structure 22 may support the worktop 21 so that it can be stored or removed. A known method may be adopted as a method for the support structure 22 to support the work top plate 21.

In this way, the support structure 22 can support the worktop 21 in a movable manner.

The work booth 7 may have a space below the support structure 22 that supports the work top plate 21. An article storage section 29 can be provided in that space. The article storage section 29 may be a shelf, a drawer, or the like. Alternatively, the article storage section 29 may be a space itself. The work booth 7 has the article storage section 29 below the support structure 22, so that the user's luggage or the equipment of the work booth 7 can be efficiently stored.

Support structure 22 may include a power outlet 24 . The power outlet 24 may be used, for example, to supply power to a notebook PC, an air conditioner 28 (described later), or the like. The position where the power outlet 24 is provided is not limited to the upper surface of the support structure 22, but may be located at another location within the work booth 7.

The support structure 22 can adjust the relative positional relationship between the seat surface 20b and the work top plate 21 so that the seat surface 20b and the work top plate 21 overlap in plan view. Its configuration will be explained with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 is a plan view illustrating the relative positional relationship between the seat surface 20b and the work top plate 21. As shown in FIG.

As described above, the support structure 22 can support the worktop 21 in a movable manner. Specifically, the worktop 21 is movably supported by the support portion 22a of the support structure 22. In the example shown in FIG. 3, the support structure 22 supports the work top 21 such that the work top 21 can rotate at least 90 degrees within the XY plane while the top surface of the work top 21 remains facing upward. To support. In the figure, a position P1, a position P2, and a position P3 indicate the positions of the work top plate 21, respectively. For convenience of explanation, it is assumed that the work top plate 21 has a rectangular top surface.

When the support structure 22 supports the work top plate 21 at the position P1, the longitudinal direction of the work top plate 21 overlaps with the width direction of the vehicle 1. At this time, the area where the seat surface 20b and the work top plate 21 overlap in plan view is relatively small compared to the positions P2 and P3. In this case, the user can easily sit on and stand up from the seat 20. In other words, position P1 can be referred to as a "seating/seating mode." Note that at position P1, the seat surface 20b and the work top plate 21 do not necessarily have to overlap in plan view.

When the support structure 22 supports the worktop 21 at the position P2, the longitudinal direction of the worktop 21 is approximately perpendicular to the direction in which the diagonal line D of the workbooth 7 extends. In this case, the user can easily work using the worktop 21. In other words, position P2 can be referred to as a "work mode." In the work mode, the seat surface 20b and the work top plate 21 overlap in plan view.

When the support structure 22 supports the worktop 21 at the position P3, the longitudinal direction of the worktop 21 coincides with the longitudinal direction of the vehicle 1. At this time, the area where the seat surface 20b and the work top plate 21 overlap in plan view is relatively large compared to the positions P1 and P2. Further, the distance from the entrance/exit 6 of the work booth 7 to the work top plate 21 is longer than the positions P1 and P2. In this case, a large space can be secured near the entrance/exit 6, making it easy for users to enter and exit the work booth 7 and to carry luggage into and out of the work booth 7. In other words, position P3 can be referred to as "cargo mode."

In the example shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, equipment such as the seat 20, the worktop 21, and the support structure 22 are arranged on the right side door 4a. This facilitates the entry and exit of people and the carrying in and out of luggage through the entrance/exit 6. Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the support structure 22 is arranged so that the work top plate 21 is located opposite the left side door 4b (or the entrance 6) which is the entrance to the rear area 3 (or the work booth 7). The work top plate 21 is supported. This configuration makes it easier for users to enter and exit the rear area 3 and to carry luggage into and out of the work booth 7.

Above, the case where the work top plate 21 is rectangular has been explained as an example, but the shape of the work top plate 21 and the seat surface 20b, the relative positional relationship between the work top plate 21 and the seat surface 20b, and/or the seat surface The degree to which the surface 20b and the work top plate 21 overlap in plan view may vary depending on the embodiment.

In this way, the support structure 22 supports the worktop 21 so that it can be displaced into three postures for different purposes: take-off mode (position P1), work mode (position P2), and cargo mode (position P3). be able to.

Moreover, the support structure 22 may support the work top plate 21 in a slidable manner. The support structure 22 may support the work top plate 21 so as to be slidable in the length direction (X-axis direction), width direction (Y-axis direction), or within the XY plane of the vehicle 1. Even with such a configuration, the support structure 22 can adjust the relative positional relationship between the seat surface 20b and the work top plate 21 so that the seat surface 20b and the work top plate 21 overlap in plan view.

(panel)
Referring to FIG. 2, panel 25 includes a first panel 25a and a second panel 25b. The first panel 25a and the second panel 25b may be fixedly installed on the vehicle 1 so that their positions do not change during driving. The first panel 25a and the second panel 25b are not limited to specific materials, thicknesses, and designs.

The first panel 25a is installed on the vehicle 1 to partition the front area 2 and the rear area 3. The first panel 25a is located unevenly on the driver's seat side in the width direction of the vehicle 1 (see FIG. 4, which will be described later), or is partially cut out on the passenger seat side. In the example of FIG. 2, a portion of the first panel 25a on the passenger seat side is cut out. Since the first panel 25a has a notch in a portion on the passenger seat side, the user who is driving can easily check the rear from the driver's seat through the notch. A similar effect can be obtained even when the first panel 25a is unevenly distributed on the driver's seat side in the width direction of the vehicle 1. When the vehicle 1 has a back monitor, the first panel 25a does not need to have a cutout.

The second panel 25b is installed in the rear area 3 along the longitudinal direction of the vehicle 1. The second panel 25b is installed between the seat 20 and the right side door 4a and along the right side door 4a. The second panel 25b may be installed adjacent to or in contact with the first panel 25a. The first panel 25a and the second panel 25b being adjacent to each other means that there is a gap between the first panel 25a and the second panel 25b. When the first panel 25a and the second panel 25b are in contact with each other, it means that the first panel 25a and the second panel 25b are in contact with each other. The second panel 25b may be integrally formed with the first panel 25a. A configuration in which one or more other panels (not shown) are present between the first panel 25a and the second panel 25b is also conceivable, and such a configuration is also included in the panels according to the present disclosure. For example, an example of another panel is a bent or curved corner panel provided between two straight panels (first panel 25a and second panel 25b).

By having the above configuration, the panel 25 can be used as a background screen for a user who sits on the seat 20 and participates in a web conference. Furthermore, the panel 25 also plays the role of shielding a third party's line of sight from outside the vehicle 1. Furthermore, by being installed between the driver's seat and the seat 20, the first panel 25a can shield the appearance of the driver's seat from the participants of the web conference.

The vehicle 1 (or work booth 7) may include a partition member 26 for partitioning the passenger seat and the rear area 3. When the first panel 25a is unevenly distributed on the driver's seat side in the width direction of the vehicle 1, the partition member 26 can partition between the passenger seat and the rear area 3. When a portion of the passenger seat side is cut out, the partition member 26 can cover the cutout portion of the first panel 25a. The partition member 26 may be movable, for example a curtain or a foldable panel. The curtain may be of a type that is movable in the width direction of the vehicle 1 or of a type that is movable in the height direction of the vehicle 1, such as a roll curtain. The partition member 26 also plays the role of shielding a third person's line of sight from outside the vehicle 1. The partition member 26 is not limited to a specific material and size as long as it can perform a shielding function.

In the vehicle 1 (or work booth 7), a fixed panel 25 and a movable partition member 26 are used in combination. While driving the vehicle 1, a state in which the driver can easily drive the vehicle 1 is ensured without using the partition member 26 to partition the passenger seat and the rear area 3. While the work booth 7 is in use, the front area 2 and the rear area 3 are partitioned by the panel 25 and the partition member 26 to improve the working environment of the work booth 7. In this manner, in the vehicle 1 (or work booth 7), the driving state of the vehicle 1 and the usage state of the work booth 7 can be switched by the combination of the fixed panel 25 and the movable partition member 26.

According to the above configuration, the panel 25 reduces the possibility of interfering with the operation of the vehicle 1, blocks the line of sight of a third party with the first panel 25a (and the partition member 26), and allows the web conference You can improve the appearance of the background at times.

Further, the second panel 25b can block the line of sight of a third party through the window of the right side door 4a, and can improve the appearance of the background during a web conference.

Further, since the work booth 7 has the seat 20 at the corner formed by the first panel 25a and the second panel 25b in the rear area 3, the user can be seated in a position where the background looks good during a web conference. .

(Modified example of panel)
A modified example of the panel according to the present disclosure will be described with reference to FIG. 4. FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating a modified example of the panel according to the present disclosure. Hereinafter, only the differences between the panel 40 according to the present disclosure and the panel 25 described above will be explained.

Panel 40 includes a first panel 40a and a second panel 40b. The first panel 40a, unlike the first panel 25a, does not have a cutout, and is provided biased towards the driver's seat side. A partition member 26 (not shown) may be provided on the passenger seat side. With this configuration as well, the same effects as when the work booth 7 is provided with the panel 25 can be achieved.

In this way, the work booth 7 according to the present disclosure can employ panels of various shapes.

(Subsheet 27)
As shown in FIG. 2, the work booth 7 may include a sub-seat 27. The sub-seat 27 may be placed in front of the seat 20 with the worktop 21 in between, for example, and may be used by a user seated on the seat 20 to rest his or her feet on the sub-seat 27. The sub-seat 27 may be used for seating a person different from the user sitting on the seat 20. The sub-sheet 27 is not limited to a specific material, shape, or size.

The work booth 7 may include a sub-seat that can be flipped up or slid to make effective use of space. In the example shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, the sub-seat 27 is flipped up and stored. An example of flip-up storage will be explained with reference to FIG. FIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining an example of a subsheet according to the present disclosure.

As shown in FIG. 5, the sub-seat 50 may be flipped up and stored in the storage 51. For flip-up storage, a conventionally known method, such as a method used for auxiliary seats on trains, may be used. The sub-sheet 50 is not limited to a specific material, shape, or size.

According to the configuration of FIG. 5, in the work booth 7, the sub-seat 50 is pulled out only when in use, and is stored when not in use, so that the space can be used effectively. Furthermore, since the sub-seat 50 is retractable, there is no problem with getting in and out of the work booth 7 and with carrying in and out of luggage. Further, the sub-seat 50 together with the seat 20 provides an environment in which a plurality of people can sit in the work booth 7, thereby contributing to enriching the work environment.

(Other configurations)
As mentioned above, the work booth 7 is included in the freely movable vehicle 1 and functions as a mobile office. The work booth 7 provides the user with a work environment suitable for desk work, and can further enrich the work environment by being equipped with various equipment.

The work booth 7 is used where the vehicle 1 is parked. The work booth 7 may include an air conditioner 28 in order to provide the user with a comfortable work space even in the heat of midsummer and the cold of midwinter (see FIGS. 2 and 4).

The work booth 7 may be equipped with a display used for web conferences and the like. The work booth 7 may be provided with a hook for hanging a bag, a hanger, or the like.

Alternatively, the seat surface 70b may be provided such that the seat surface 70b and the work top plate 71 always overlap in plan view.

The seat surface 70b is provided at a height of 10 cm to 50 cm, preferably 30 cm to 40 cm, from the floor. Since the work booth 200 is provided inside the vehicle 1, the ceiling height of the work booth 200 is lower than that of a normal office space. Therefore, by tilting the backrest 70a backward and providing the seat surface 70b in a low seating position, the seat 70 makes it difficult for the head of the user seated on the seat 70 to come into contact with the upper surface of the vehicle 1. This point is similar to the seat 20 in the work booth 7.

By having the above-described configuration, the seat 70 can provide the user with a low-slung, backward-leaning posture. From an ergonomics perspective, the low-seat, backward-leaning posture puts less stress on the body even when working on a computer for long periods of time, allows the user to maintain a relaxed state for long periods of time, and helps maintain concentration over long periods of time.
