Description

The present invention relates to a novel bench structure suitable for a lobby or a waiting room of a building.

Conventionally, flower pots such as flowers and foliage plants have been placed along with benches in the lobby and waiting rooms of buildings. Flower pots and houseplants placed in the lobby or waiting room have a function to improve the atmosphere of the lobby or waiting room and soothe the feelings of the people there.

The flower pots placed in the lobby or waiting room of the building are generally placed near the corner of the lobby or waiting room away from the bench, and are located away from the person sitting on the bench. An object of the present invention is to provide a bench structure in which people sitting on a bench feel close to flowers and houseplants planted in a flower pot.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the bench structure of the present invention corresponds to a plurality of cylindrical base portions that accommodate flower pots, and both ends are placed on the plurality of cylindrical base portions and correspond to the plurality of cylindrical base portions. And a bench board having openings formed at both ends thereof (claim 1).

According to the bench structure, both end portions of the bench plate are supported by the plurality of cylindrical base portions. Further, the bench plate is formed with openings at portions corresponding to the plurality of cylindrical base portions. Therefore, the flower pot in which a flower and a foliage plant are planted can be accommodated in the inside of each cylindrical base part from the opening part of a bench board. In the present invention, the plurality of cylindrical pedestals function as support members for the bench board and function as a cover for the flower pot.

One embodiment of the present invention is characterized in that a convex portion that engages with the inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical base portion is provided on the periphery of the opening on the back surface of the bench board. According to this embodiment, the cylindrical base portion and the bench plate are integrated by adapting the convex portion provided at the periphery of the opening on the back surface of the bench plate to the inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical base portion. The horizontal displacement between the base and the bench board is prevented. At the same time, positioning during assembly is easy. In addition, you may fix a cylindrical base part and a bench board using metal fittings, such as a nail.

One embodiment of the present invention is characterized in that the cylindrical base portion and the bench board are made of wood (Claim 3). According to this embodiment, the warm taste of wood different from metals and synthetic resins can be felt together with flowers and houseplants.

  One embodiment of the present invention is characterized in that the cylindrical base portion has concave and convex ribs in the horizontal direction of the outer peripheral surface (claim 4). According to this embodiment, the design is novel, unlike the case of using a solid plate material.

  According to the present invention, people sitting on a bench can feel close to the flowers and houseplants planted in the flower pots, and can improve the atmosphere of the lobby and waiting room to relieve the feelings of the people there.

It is a perspective view which shows the use condition of the bench structure which concerns on one Embodiment of this invention. FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view of a main part of FIG. FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view of a main part of FIG. It is a perspective view which shows the use condition of the bench structure which concerns on other one Embodiment of this invention. FIG. 5 is an assembly process perspective view of the bench structure according to the embodiment of FIG. 4. FIG. 5 is an assembly process perspective view of the bench structure according to the embodiment of FIG. 4. FIG. 5 is an assembly process perspective view of the bench structure according to the embodiment of FIG. 4. FIG. 5 is an assembly process perspective view of the bench structure according to the embodiment of FIG. 4. It is a top view which shows another bench structure.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a use state of a bench structure according to the present invention.

In the figure, 1 is a cylindrical base. In the embodiment of the drawings, the ribs are formed in the outer peripheral surface in the horizontal direction to form a hollow quadrangle (see FIG. 8). The cylindrical base 1 may be cylindrical or polygonal.

In the figure, 2 is a bench board. In the embodiment of the drawing, a number of enemies with appropriate widths are arranged side by side so that a person can easily sit down. Openings 3 are formed at both ends of the bench plate 2 at both ends corresponding to the cylindrical base 1. In the figure, F is a flower or a houseplant planted in a flower pot.

Details of the present invention will be described. 2 and 3 are exploded perspective views, partly cut away, of the cylindrical base 1 and the bench board 2 respectively.

As shown in FIG. 2, the triangular convex part 4 engaged with the inner peripheral surface (corner part) of the said cylindrical base part 1 is fixed to the periphery of the opening part 3 of the back surface of the said bench board 2 with an adhesive agent etc. The In the embodiment of the drawings, cushion members 5 that are slightly larger than the convex portions 4 are fixed to the convex portions 4 with an adhesive.

In the above structure, the triangular convex portion 4 engages with the inner peripheral surface (corner portion) of the cylindrical base portion 1, and the cushion material 5 is sandwiched between the cylindrical base portion 1 and the bench plate 2. The Therefore, a lateral shift between the cylindrical base 1 and the bench board 2 is prevented. At the same time, positioning during assembly is easy.

Further, as shown in FIG. 3, triangular leg portions 6 are fixed to the lower four corners of the cylindrical base portion 1 with an iron screw or wood adhesive for wood. In the figure, reference numeral 10 is placed on the leg portion 6 and is a detachable bottom plate, 7 is a flower pot, and 8 is a tray for the flower pot 7.

Next, another embodiment shown in FIG. 4 will be described. FIG. 4 shows an L-shaped bench structure using the embodiment of the present invention. That is, the bench B is connected at right angles to one end of the bench A of the embodiment of the present invention.

5 to 8 show perspective views of the assembly process. The bench B is provided with an opening 3 and a cylindrical base 1 at one end of the bench plate 2. The other end 2a of the bench plate 2 is connected to one end of the bench A.

First, as shown in FIG. 5, a connecting fitting 9 that sandwiches one side 1 b of the cylindrical base 1 a that constitutes the bench A is attached to the other end 2 a of the bench B that does not have the cylindrical base 1. Provided. In the embodiment of the drawing, the connecting fitting 9 is formed with a lateral piece 9a and a longitudinal piece 9b, respectively, in order to prevent movement in the longitudinal and lateral directions with respect to the cylindrical base part 1a. FIG. 6 shows a state in which the connecting metal fitting 9 is adapted to the cylindrical base portion 1a, and the connecting metal fitting 9 holds one side 1b of the cylindrical base portion 1a.

Next, as shown in FIG.7 and FIG.8, the bench board 2 which comprises the said bench A is mounted on the cylindrical base part 1 in which the connection metal fitting 9 is exposed. However, when the bench plate 2 is placed in the state of the connection fitting 9, the bench plate 2 placed due to the step formed by the connection fitting 9 is rattled.

Therefore, the protrusion 4 provided on the periphery of the opening on the back surface of the bench plate 2 is not provided in a portion corresponding to the connection fitting 9, and the other protrusion 4a is adjusted to the thickness of the connection fitting 9. This solves the problem caused by the level difference of the connection fitting 9.

FIG. 9 shows another bench structure that can be constructed by using the present invention. FIG. 9A shows a Z shape, FIG. 9B shows a deformed L shape, and FIG. 9C shows a U shape. In addition, various modifications are possible according to the installation location.
