Description

The present invention relates to fixtures.

2. Description of the Related Art In work spaces such as offices and public facilities, partitions or other panels are installed around furniture such as chairs and tables to form spaces that are separated from other spaces.
For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a configuration including a booth body with a panel erected on a floor surface, and a top plate provided inside the booth body, the top surface of which serves as a work surface. With this configuration, the internal space of the booth body is partitioned from the external space of the booth body.

Japanese Patent No. 6868076

In the above-mentioned configuration, it is expected that users will use various electrical appliances, including electronic devices, in the internal space of the booth body. Therefore, wiring ducts and the like are provided in the internal space of the booth body to route wiring for outlets, etc.
However, in order to perform work such as introducing new wiring into the wiring receiving duct or replacing wiring, a worker must enter the internal space of the booth body, which prevents the use of the internal space during work.
The present invention aims to provide fixtures that can reduce the impact on users when performing wiring work.

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention employs the following aspects.
(1) A fixture according to one embodiment of the present invention is fixture arranged on a floor surface and includes a partition wall that divides a space on the floor surface into a work space on a first side in a first direction and an external space on a second side of the first direction, and a wiring accommodating section that is arranged on the second side of the first direction relative to the partition wall and has a wiring accommodating space formed therein that continues along the floor surface along the partition wall, and allows access to the wiring accommodating space from the external space.
According to this configuration, the work space is disposed on a first side in the first direction relative to the partition wall. In contrast, the wiring accommodation section is disposed on a second side in the first direction relative to the partition wall. By accommodating the wiring within the wiring accommodation section, it is possible to reduce exposure of the wiring to the outside. The wiring accommodation space of the wiring accommodation section is accessible from the external space on the second side in the first direction relative to the partition wall. Therefore, even when a user is using the work space, a worker can introduce wiring, replace wiring, etc. within the wiring accommodation space on the external space side. As a result, it is possible to reduce the impact on the user when performing work related to wiring.

(2) In the fixture relating to the above aspect (1), it is preferable that the wiring accommodating portion protrudes from the lower part of the partition wall to the second side in the first direction, the wiring accommodating space is formed therein, and the wiring accommodating portion comprises a base portion having an opening that opens upward from the wiring accommodating space, and a cover member that closes and opens the opening.
According to this configuration, the wiring accommodating space is formed in a base portion protruding from the lower portion of the partition wall to the second side in the first direction. The base portion has an opening portion that opens upward from the wiring accommodating space, and the opening portion is closed by a cover member so as to be able to be opened and closed.
Therefore, when the cover member is opened on the second side in the first direction relative to the partition wall, the interior of the wiring accommodating space can be easily accessed through the opening formed in the base portion.

(3) In the fixture relating to the above-mentioned aspect (2), it is preferable that the partition wall comprises an in-wall wiring insertion portion formed inside the partition wall, communicating with the wiring accommodating space at a position lower than the cover member, and through which wiring introduced from the wiring accommodating space can be inserted, and a connector connection portion provided on a wall side facing at least one of the first side and the second side of the first direction, connected to the wiring within the in-wall wiring insertion portion, and to which a wiring connector can be removably connected from outside the partition wall.
According to this configuration, the partition wall is provided with an in-wall wiring insertion portion inside. The wiring connected to the connector connection portion provided on the wall side of the partition wall can be routed from the wiring accommodation space through the in-wall wiring insertion portion. Therefore, the wiring connected to the connector connection portion provided on the wall side can be routed while being prevented from being exposed to the outside.

(4) In the fixture relating to the above-mentioned (2) or (3) aspect, it is preferable that the partition wall has a communication opening formed at a position below the cover member, which connects the wiring accommodating space to the work space and allows wiring to be inserted between the wiring accommodating space and the work space.
According to this configuration, the wiring can be inserted between the wiring accommodation space and the working space through the communication opening formed in the partition wall. Since the communication opening is formed at a position lower than the cover member, the wiring can be prevented from being exposed to the outside above the cover member.

(5) In the fixture relating to any one of the above aspects (2) to (4), it is preferable that the cover member has a seating surface facing upward.
With this configuration, users can sit on the cover member, thereby increasing the utility of the fixtures in the office space.

(6) In a fixture relating to any of the above aspects (1) to (5), it is preferable that the partition wall has a first wall portion extending in a second direction intersecting the first direction when viewed from above, and a second wall portion extending in the first direction from at least one end of the first wall portion in the second direction.
According to this configuration, the partition wall having the first wall portion and the second wall portion can more clearly separate the work space from the external space, thereby improving the work environment in the work space.

(7) In the fixture according to any one of the above aspects (2) to (6), it is preferable that the wiring housing section is placed on the floor surface.
This configuration improves the stability of the piece of furniture when standing on its own.

According to one aspect of the present invention, it is possible to increase the value of office space.

The lower end of the base portion 55 is provided with a leg 55f that protrudes downward and stands on the floor surface F.

When viewed from above, the base portion 55 of the second seating portion 52A, 52B is arranged at a different orientation by 90° to the base portion 55 of the first seating portion 51. The base portion 55 of the second seating portion 52A is arranged with the front plate 55c facing one side Db1 of the second direction Db. The base portion 55 of the second seating portion 52B is arranged with the front plate 55c facing the other side Db2 of the second direction Db.

In the base portion 55 as described above, the portion along the lower portion of the support portion 35 is fixed to the support portion 35 by a bolt or the like (not shown). As a result, the support portion 35 is fixed in a sandwiched state between the base portion 55 of the seating fixture 50 and the fixture base portion 25 of the fixture member 21, so that the functional member 30 is firmly supported. As a result, the seated load of the user can be stably supported on the planar portions 35f, 35g, and 35h.

In addition, a plurality of base portions 55 may be arranged side by side as necessary. For example, as shown in Fig. 3, Fig. 6, and Fig. 9, in the first seating portion 51 of the furniture 10A, 10B, and 10C, two base portions 55 are arranged side by side in the second direction Db.
FIG. 12 is a cross-sectional view showing a connection structure between the base portions 55. As shown in FIG.
12, the side plates 55a of the base portions 55 adjacent to each other in the second direction Db are connected to each other by bolts and nuts 59. At this time, the side plate 55a of the base portion 55 on one side Db1 in the second direction Db and the side plate 55a of the base portion 55 on the other side Db2 in the second direction Db are connected to each other by the bolts and nuts 59 with a cylindrical collar 58 sandwiched between them as necessary.

As shown in Figures 10 and 11, the base portion 55 is surrounded by a pair of side plates 55a, a rear plate 55b, and a front plate 55c, and has an opening 55k that opens upward and downward.

The cover member 56 is provided so as to cover the opening 55k of each base portion 55 from above. The cover member 56 is formed of a plate material that has a predetermined thickness in the vertical direction and is harder than the seat portion 26, for example, made of wood, resin, metal, etc.

The cover member 56 is placed on the base portion 55. A beam material 56t is provided on the underside of the cover member 56, protruding downward. In the cover member 56 of the first seating portion 51, the beam material 56t is provided at both ends in the second direction Db. In the cover member 56 of the first seating portion 51, the beam material 56t extends in the first direction Da. In the cover members 56 of the second seating portions 52A and 52B, the beam material 56t is provided at both ends in the first direction Da. In the cover members 56 of the second seating portions 52A and 52B, the beam material 56t extends in the second direction Db.
With the cover member 56 placed on the base portion 55, the beam material 56t is inserted into the opening 55k. The beam material 56t comes into contact with the pair of side plates 55a, the rear plate 55b, and the front plate 55c that constitute the base portion 55, thereby preventing the cover member 56 from being misaligned by a certain amount or more in the first direction Da and the second direction Db.

The cover member 56 has an upwardly facing smooth surface 56f on its upper surface. In the first seating portion 51, the smooth surface 56f forms the first seating surface 51s.

That is, the entire first seating surface 51s and the second seating surface 52s are formed by the continuous smooth surface 56f at the same height. The first seating surface 51s and the second seating surface 52s are formed to be located lower than the furniture seating surface 26f. In this embodiment, the first seating surface 51s and the second seating surface 52s of the seating furniture 50 are formed at a height of, for example, 200 mm to 450 mm from the floor surface F.

A user can sit on the first seating surface 51s or the second seating surface 52s. When the user is seated on the first seating surface 51s or the second seating surface 52s, the user can use the support portion 35 of the functional member 30 as a backrest.
A user seated on the first seating portion 51 faces the second side Da2 in the first direction Da and turns his/her back to the support portion 35 on the first side Da1 in the first direction Da. When the user leans against the support portion 35, the flat surface portion 35f of the support portion 35 can support the seating weight of the user from the second side Da2 in the first direction Da, for example.
A user seated on the second seating portion 52A faces one side Db1 in the second direction Db and turns his/her back to the support portion 35 on the other side Db2 in the second direction Db. When the user leans against the support portion 35, the flat surface portion 35g of the support portion 35 of the second seating portion 52A can support the seating weight of the user from the one side Db1 in the second direction Db, for example.
A user seated on the second seating portion 52B faces the other side Db2 in the second direction Db and turns his/her back to the support portion 35 on one side Db1 in the second direction Db. When the user leans against the support portion 35, the flat surface portion 35g of the support portion 35 of the second seating portion 52B can support the seating weight of the user from the other side Db2 in the second direction Db, for example.

<Optional member 100>
Fig. 13 is a plan view showing an example of the optional member 100 placed on the smooth surface 56f of the seating furniture 50. Fig. 14 is a front view showing an example of the optional member 100 placed on the smooth surface 56f of the seating furniture 50. Fig. 15 is a front view showing another example of the optional member 100 placed on the smooth surface 56f of the seating furniture 50.
As shown in FIG. 13 to FIG. 15, various optional components 100 can be placed on the smooth surface 56f (first seating surface 51s, second seating surface 52s) of the seating fixture 50. At least two types of optional components 100 selected from a plurality of types are placed on the smooth surface 56f of the seating fixture 50. The placement position of each optional component 100 on the smooth surface 56f is changeable. The placement position of each optional component 100 on the first seating surface 51s is changeable in the second direction Db. The placement position of each optional component 100 on the second seating surface 52s is changeable in the first direction Da. In this embodiment, the placement position of each optional component 100 on the smooth surface 56f can be changed steplessly by sliding or carrying it on the smooth surface 56f.

Examples of the optional member 100 include a first cushion member 110 (see Figures 13 and 14), a second cushion member 120 (see Figures 13 and 14), and a third cushion member 130 (see Figure 15).

13 and 14, the first cushion member 110 is formed, for example, in a square shape when viewed from the top. The first cushion member 110 has an upper surface 110t and a lower surface 110b formed parallel to each other. The first cushion member 110 is formed in a truncated pyramid shape in which the planar area of the lower surface 110b is set larger than the planar area of the upper surface 110t, and the planar area gradually increases from the upper surface 110t to the lower surface 110b. The first cushion member 110 is formed of an appropriate cushion material that is softer and has elasticity than the smooth surface 56f. Such a first cushion member 110 is placed on the smooth surface 56f with the lower surface 110b facing the smooth surface 56f. As a result, the first cushion member 110 is supported from below by the smooth surface 56f. A user can sit on the upper surface 110t of the first cushion member 110. Additionally, users can use the upper surface 110t of the first cushion member 110 as a platform for placing items or as a table for performing various tasks.

The second cushion member 120 is formed, for example, in a rectangular shape when viewed from above. The second cushion member 120 is different in shape and size from the first cushion member 110 when viewed from above. The second cushion member 120 is formed to be lower in height than the first cushion member 110. The second cushion member 120 has an upper surface 120t and a lower surface 120b formed parallel to each other. The second cushion member 120 is formed in a rectangular parallelepiped shape with the upper surface 120t and the lower surface 120b having the same planar area. The second cushion member 120 is placed on the smooth surface 56f with the lower surface 120b facing the smooth surface 56f. As a result, the second cushion member 120 is supported from below by the smooth surface 56f. The user can sit on the upper surface 120t of the second cushion member 120. The second cushion member 120 is made of an appropriate cushion material that is softer and more elastic than the smooth surface 56f.

15, the third cushion member 130 is formed, for example, in a cylindrical shape having a predetermined thickness in the vertical direction. The third cushion member 130 has a first flat surface portion 130a facing one side in the vertical direction and a second flat surface portion 130b facing the other side in the vertical direction. The third cushion member 130 includes a cushion main body 131 and a plate portion 132.
The cushion body 131 is formed of an appropriate cushion material that is softer and more elastic than the smooth surface 56f. The plate portion 132 is provided on the other side of the cushion body 131 in the up-down direction. The plate portion 132 is formed of a material harder than the cushion body 131, such as wood, resin, or metal. In this way, the first planar portion 130a is formed of the soft cushion body 131. The second planar portion 130b is formed of the hard plate portion 132.

The third cushion member 130 can be used with either the first planar portion 130a or the second planar portion 130b facing the smooth surface 56f, and the other of the first planar portion 130a and the second planar portion 130b facing upward. For example, with the second planar portion 130b facing the smooth surface 56f and the first planar portion 130a facing upward, a user can sit on the first planar portion 130a. Also, with the first planar portion 130a facing the smooth surface 56f and the second planar portion 130b facing upward, a user can stably place various objects on the second planar portion 130b formed by the plate portion 132 that is harder than the first planar portion 130a.

A plurality of types of first cushion member 110, second cushion member 120, and third cushion member 130 having different heights may be prepared. The shapes of the first cushion member 110, second cushion member 120, and third cushion member 130 when viewed from above may be different from the shapes exemplified above, for example, an elliptical shape, a polygonal shape, or another appropriate shape.

FIG. 16 is a diagram showing another example of the optional member 100. In FIG.
As shown in FIG. 16, the optional member 100 may include a table support member 140 that supports the table top 145 from below. The table support member 140 supports the table top 145 from below. The table top 145 forms a work surface 145f on the upper surface. The table support member 140 is disposed between the table top 145 and the smooth surface 56f. When the table support member 140 is placed on the first seating surface 51s, the table top 145 extends from the first seating surface 51s to the second side Da2 in the first direction Da. When viewed from above, a support member 148 is provided on the floor surface F at a position spaced from the furniture member 21 to the second side Da2 in the first direction Da. The support member 148 extends upward from the floor surface F. The table top 145 is bridged between the table support member 140 and the support member 148.

In addition to the above, optional components 100 may also include, for example, a plate-shaped tray (not shown).

<Wiring accommodating section 200>
10 and 11, each of the furniture 10 has a wiring accommodation section 200. The wiring accommodation section 200 includes a base section 55 having a wiring accommodation space 201, and a cover member 56. That is, the wiring accommodation section 200 is placed on the floor surface F. When a plurality of base sections 55 are arranged on the seating furniture 50, the wiring accommodation section 200 (wiring accommodation space 201) is formed in at least one of the base sections 55.

The wiring accommodation space 201 is formed inside the base portion 55 of the seating furniture 50. The wiring accommodation space 201 is formed by being surrounded by a pair of side plates 55a, a rear plate 55b, and a front plate 55c. The wiring accommodation space 201 opens upward through an opening 55k. The wiring accommodation space 201 continues in the base portion 55 in a direction along the floor surface F.
A wiring member such as a power tap 250 can be accommodated in the wiring accommodating space 201. The power tap 250 is disposed on the floor surface F within the wiring accommodating space 201 through the lower end opening of the opening 55k.

The wiring accommodation space 201 is covered from above by a cover member 56. The cover member 56 is detachable from the opening 55k, and therefore closes the opening 55k (upper end opening) in an openable and closable manner. Such wiring accommodation space 201 can be accessed through the opening 55k by opening the cover member 56 in the seating space R2. Therefore, the wiring accommodation space 201 can be accessed from the second side Da2 in the first direction Da relative to the functional member 30.

The first partition panel 32 of the functional member 30 has a communication opening 220. The communication opening 220 is formed in a portion of the support portion 35 of the first partition panel 32 that is located below the cover member 56. The communication opening 220 is formed by cutting out the lower edge of the support portion 35 so that it opens downward. The communication opening 220 is formed to communicate the support portion 35 of the first partition panel 32 with the first side Da1 and the second side Da2 in the first direction Da. The communication opening 220 communicates the wiring accommodation space 201 and the work space R1 at a position below the cover member 56 of the seating furniture 50. In this embodiment, the communication opening 220 communicates with the interior of the furniture base portion 25 provided in the work space R1 on the first side Da1 in the first direction Da.

The communication opening 220 allows wiring 212, one end of which is connected to a power tap 250 housed in the wiring housing space 201, to be routed from the wiring housing space 201 into the fixture base portion 25. The other end of the wiring 212 is connected to a connector connection portion 260 provided in the fixture base portion 25, for example, on the side plate 25a or the front plate 25c. The connector connection portion 260 is detachably connected to a wiring connector such as a power outlet, a USB connector, or a LAN connector.

As shown in FIG. 10, an in-wall wiring insertion portion 230 is formed in the first partition panel 32 of the functional member 30. The first partition panel 32 has, for example, a metal frame material and a pair of surface panels 32p provided on both sides of the frame material in the first direction Da. As a result, the first partition panel 32 (frame material) has a hollow structure, and the in-wall wiring insertion portion 230 is formed between the pair of surface panels 32p. The lower end of the in-wall wiring insertion portion 230 communicates with the communication opening 220. As a result, the in-wall wiring insertion portion 230 communicates with the wiring accommodation space 201 via the communication opening 220 at a position lower than the cover member 56.

The in-wall wiring insertion portion 230 is capable of inserting therein the wiring 213 introduced from the wiring accommodating space 201 through the communication opening 220. One end of the wiring 213 is connected to a power tap 250 accommodated in the wiring accommodating space 201.
In the first partition panel 32, a connector connection portion 270 such as a power outlet is provided on a front panel 32p forming a wall side surface facing at least one of the first side Da1 and the second side Da2 in the first direction Da. The other end of the wiring 213 is connected to the connector connection portion 270 within the in-wall wiring insertion portion 230. The connector connection portion 270 is detachably connected to wiring connectors such as power wiring for various electrical appliances from the outside of the first partition panel 32.

<Example of fixture layout in a fixture system>
As shown in FIG. 1, in the fixture system 1, a plurality of fixtures 10 (fixtures 10A to 10C) as described above are arranged at intervals in a direction along a floor surface F.
The fixture 10A is arranged so that the first direction Da is aligned along the X direction set along the floor surface F, and the second direction Db is aligned along the Y direction set along the floor surface F and perpendicular to the X direction.
The fixture 10C is arranged with the first direction Da aligned along the X direction and the second direction Db aligned along the Y direction. However, the first side Da1 and the second side Da2 of the first direction Da in the fixture 10A and the first side Da1 and the second side Da2 of the first direction Da in the fixture 10C are opposite to each other in the X direction.
In addition, the fixture 10B is arranged with the second direction Db aligned along the X direction and the first direction Da aligned along the Y direction.

Fixture 10A (first fixture) and fixture 10C (second fixture) are arranged with the first seating portions 51 of the seating fixtures 50 facing each other. As a result, when the first direction Da of fixture 10A is used as a reference, fixture 10C is arranged at a distance from fixture 10A on the second side Da2 of the first direction Da of fixture 10A.
The fixture 10A as the first fixture comprises a fixture main body 20A (first fixture main body) and a first seating portion 51A having a first seating surface 51As extending in the Y direction.
The second fixture 10C includes a fixture main body 20C (second fixture main body) and a first seating portion 51C (third seating portion) having a first seating surface 51Cs (third seating surface) extending in the Y direction.
In other words, the first seating portion 51A of the fixture 10A and the first seating portion 51C of the fixture 10B are arranged parallel to each other with a gap in the X direction. As a result, a passage-like passage space portion T1 that is continuous in the Y direction on the floor surface F is formed between the first seating portion 51A of the fixture 10A and the first seating portion 51C of the fixture 10C.

Additionally, the fixture 10A and the fixture 10B are arranged such that the second seating portion 52B of the fixture 10A and the first seating portion 51B of the fixture 10B face each other with a gap in the Y direction. The fixture 10C and the fixture 10B are arranged such that the second seating portion 52A of the fixture 10C and the first seating portion 51B of the fixture 10B face each other with a gap in the Y direction.
The second seating portion 52B of the fixture 10A, the second seating portion 52A of the fixture 10C, and the first seating portion 51B of the fixture 10B are arranged parallel to each other with a gap in the Y direction. As a result, a passage-like orthogonal passage space T2 that is perpendicular to the passage space T1 and continues in the X direction on the floor surface F when viewed from above is formed between the second seating portion 52B of the fixture 10A, the second seating portion 52A of the fixture 10C, and the first seating portion 51B of the fixture 10B.

Thus, in this embodiment, the fixture 10 is configured to include a functional member 30 that divides the space on the floor surface F into a work space R1 on a first side Da1 in the first direction Da and a seating space R2 on a second side Da2 in the first direction Da, and a wiring accommodating section 200 that has a wiring accommodating space 201 formed therein and is positioned on the second side Da2 in the first direction Da relative to the functional member 30, making the wiring accommodating space 201 accessible from the seating space R2.
According to this configuration, the work space R1 is disposed on the first side Da1 in the first direction Da with respect to the functional member 30. In contrast, the wire housing 200 is disposed on the second side Da2 in the first direction Da with respect to the functional member 30. By housing the wire 212 in the wire housing 200, it is possible to suppress exposure of the wire 212 to the outside. The wire housing space 201 of the wire housing 200 is accessible from the seating space R2 on the second side Da2 in the first direction Da with respect to the functional member 30. Therefore, even if a user is using the work space R1, a worker can introduce the wire 212, replace the wire 212, etc. in the wire housing space 201 on the seating space R2 side. As a result, it is possible to suppress the impact on the user when performing work related to the wire 212.

In this embodiment, the wiring accommodating portion 200 protrudes from the lower part of the functional member 30 to the second side Da2 in the first direction Da, and has a wiring accommodating space 201 formed therein. The wiring accommodating portion 200 is configured to include a base portion 55 having an opening 55k that opens upward from the wiring accommodating space 201, and a cover member 56 that closes and opens the opening 55k.
According to this configuration, the wiring accommodating space 201 is formed in the base portion 55 that protrudes from the lower portion of the functional member 30 toward the second side Da2 in the first direction Da. The base portion 55 has an opening 55k that opens upward from the wiring accommodating space 201, and the opening 55k is closed by the cover member 56 so as to be able to open and close.
Therefore, when the cover member 56 is opened on the second side Da2 in the first direction Da relative to the functional member 30, the inside of the wiring accommodating space 201 can be easily accessed through the opening 55k formed in the base portion 55.

In this embodiment, the functional member 30 is configured to include an in-wall wiring insertion portion 230 formed inside the functional member 30, and a connector connection portion 270 that is connected to the wiring 212 within the in-wall wiring insertion portion 230 and to which a wiring connector is detachably connected from outside the functional member 30.

The wiring 212 connected to the connector connection portion 270 provided on the wall side surface of the functional member 30 can be arranged from the wiring accommodating space 201 through the in-wall wiring insertion portion 230. Therefore, the wiring 212 connected to the connector connection portion 270 provided on the wall side surface can also be arranged while suppressing exposure to the outside.

In this embodiment, the functional member 30 is configured to have a communication opening 220 formed at a position below the cover member 56, which connects the wiring accommodating space 201 to the work space R1 and allows the wiring 213 to be inserted between the wiring accommodating space 201 and the work space R1.
According to this configuration, the wiring 213 can be inserted between the wiring accommodating space 201 and the working space R1 through the communication opening 220 formed in the functional member 30. Since the communication opening 220 is formed at a position lower than the cover member 56, the wiring 212 can be prevented from being exposed to the outside above the cover member 56.

In this embodiment, the cover member 56 has a seating surface 56s facing upward.
With this configuration, users can sit on the cover member 56, thereby increasing the utility of the fixture 10 in the office space R.

In this embodiment, the functional member 30 is configured to have a first partition panel 32 extending in a second direction Db that intersects the first direction Da when viewed from above, and second partition panels 33A, 33B extending in the first direction Da from at least one end of the first partition panel 32 in the second direction Db.
According to this configuration, the functional member 30 comprising the first partition panel 32 and the second partition panels 33A, 33B can more clearly separate the work space R1 and the seating space R2, thereby improving the working environment in the work space R1.

In this embodiment, the wiring housing portion 200 is placed on the floor surface F.
With this configuration, the stability of the fixture 10 when standing on its own can be improved.
