Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The specific dimensions, materials, numerical values, etc. shown in such embodiments are merely illustrative to facilitate understanding of the invention, and do not limit the invention unless otherwise specified. In this specification and the drawings, elements having substantially the same functions and configurations are designated by the same reference numerals and redundant explanation will be omitted.

[1. Overview of assembled multifunctional system]
First, with reference to FIGS. 1 to 8, an overview of an assembly type multifunctional system using tarp poles according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described.

As mentioned above, conventional tarp poles are used outdoors only to stretch tarp fabrics, and when a tarp is not being stretched, the tarp poles are generally stored unused for long periods of time. For this reason, conventional tarp poles have been used infrequently and have not been effectively used for purposes other than pitching tarps. Therefore, in order to expand the uses of tarp poles and improve the frequency and availability of tarp poles, the inventor of the present invention has made earnest efforts to develop an assembly type multifunctional system using the tarp poles according to the present invention. developed.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 8, the assembly type multifunctional system using tarp poles according to the embodiment of the present invention uses tarp poles to assemble furniture (fixtures) such as shelves, tables, chairs, and workbenches. It is a multifunctional assembly (assembly part) for assembly. Here, the furniture (fixtures) constructed by the assembly type multifunctional system according to the present embodiment may be general household furniture, or indoor stores, outdoor stores, various event venues, and exhibition halls. Alternatively, it may be a commercial fixture used in an office or the like.

Note that "multifunctional" in the assembled multifunctional system according to the present embodiment means that the system has a plurality of functions (at least two or more functions) using tarp poles. For example, one of the multiple functions is to stretch a tarp, which is the original function of the tarp pole, and the other function is to use the tarp pole and other parts to frame various furniture (fixtures). This is a function to construct a structure.

As shown in FIG. 1, according to the assembled multi-functional system according to the present embodiment, a dedicated joint part 3 (see FIG. 2) is used to connect a plurality of tarp poles 1 and a plurality of pipe materials 2 up and down. A three-dimensional frame structure 4 is constructed by interconnecting them in the left-right and front-back directions.

The plurality of tarp poles 1 and the plurality of pipe materials 2 function as frame materials (structural materials) constituting the frame structure 4, and are, for example, hollow pipe materials having a cross-sectional shape such as a circle, an ellipse, or a polygon. configured.

The joint parts 3 are connectors for interconnecting a plurality of tarp poles 1 and pipe materials 2. As shown in FIG. 2, connecting parts (such as a male part and a female part described later) provided on the joint part 3 are removably fitted to the ends of the tarp pole 1 and the pipe material 2. At this time, by inserting a spring-type pin into the pin hole, the connecting portion of the joint part 3 can be easily attached to/detached from the end of the tarp pole 1 or the pipe material 2. Therefore, it is possible to assemble the frame structure 4 by easily connecting the tarp pole 1 or the pipe material 2 and the joint parts 3.

The frame structure 4 is a part that becomes the basic structure of furniture (fixtures) such as shelves and tables. By additionally installing optional parts such as a shelf, a top plate, and a tarp, which will be described later, at predetermined locations of the frame structure 4, the frame structure 4 can be used as furniture.

As described above, according to the assembly type multifunctional system according to the present embodiment, the structure of the furniture can be improved by three-dimensionally connecting the plurality of tarp poles 1 and the plurality of pipe materials 2 using the dedicated joint parts 3. It is possible to construct a three-dimensional frame structure 4 that serves as a skeleton. By installing shelves, top plates, etc. on this frame structure 4, furniture such as shelves and tables of desired shapes and dimensions can be assembled easily and quickly. By combining the joint part 3 with the tarp pole 1 used outdoors in this way, it is possible to manufacture an assembly type furniture that can be deployed in various directions forward and backward, left and right, and up and down. Therefore, the uses of the tarp pole 1 can be expanded, and the frequency and availability of the tarp pole 1 can be improved.

Further, in order to enable the plurality of tarp poles 1 to be connected in a straight line in the length direction, a connecting portion is provided at the end of the tarp pole 1. Specifically, by inserting and fitting the connecting portion at the end of the other tarp pole 1 (the male portion to be described later) into the connecting portion at the end of one tarp pole 1 (the female portion to be described later), Two tarp poles 1 can be interconnected. At this time, in order to make it easier for the user to connect and assemble the tarp poles 1, a certain gap (clearance) is provided between the connecting parts (female part and male part) of the two tarp poles 1. ing. For this reason, a certain gap (clearance) is also provided between the joint part 3 according to this embodiment and the connecting portion of the tarp pole 1 for ease of assembly. However, if the gap exists, when the frame structure 4 is assembled by connecting the plurality of tarp poles 1 and the joint parts 3, rattling will occur in the frame structure 4. If the gap is made as small as possible, rattling will be eliminated, but it will become difficult to connect the tarp pole 1 and the joint parts 3, and the ease of assembling the frame structure 4 will be impaired.

Therefore, in this embodiment, the rope 5 is used in order to secure the gap to a certain extent to ensure ease of assembling the frame structure 4, and to suppress rattling and stabilize the frame structure 4. to reinforce the frame structure 4. For example, as shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, ropes 5 are attached to one or more sides of the assembled frame structure 4 in a bracing manner. The ends of the ropes 5 are attached to hooks 6 attached to four joint parts 3 present on the sides of the frame structure 4. Then, the rope 5 is moved along the diagonal of a rectangular lattice made of frame materials (tarp poles 1 and pipe materials 2) provided on the side surface of the frame structure 4, using the hooks 6 of the four joint parts 3 as fulcrums. Suspended in an X shape. A ring 7 for passing the rope 5 may be provided at a portion where the rope 5 intersects in an X shape. Further, tension is applied to the rope 5 suspended in a bracing manner as shown in FIG.

Thereby, the rope 5 can function as a bracing for the frame structure 4, so that rattling and deformation of the frame structure 4 can be suppressed and stabilized. Therefore, the frame structure 4 can be used securely and stably as furniture.

Further, an assembly type multifunctional system according to another embodiment of the present invention includes a tarp 10 stretched on the upper surface of the frame structure 4 and attached to the upper ends of at least four tarp poles 1, as shown in FIG. 7, for example. It may further include. The tarp 10 is a fabric that functions as a sunshade or a simple roof, and is stretched to cover the upper surface of the frame structure 4. For example, at least four corners of the rectangular tarp 10 are supported by the upper ends of at least four tarp poles 1 that protrude upward from the frame structure 4, and tension is applied to four ropes attached to the four corners. may be given. Thereby, the tarp 10 covering the upper surface of the frame structure 4 can be stably stretched.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, the tarp 10 can be stretched on the upper surface of the frame structure 4 by utilizing the original function of the tarp pole 1, which is the function of stretching the tarp 10. Thereby, the upper part of the frame structure 4, which functions as furniture such as a shelf or a table, can be covered with the tarp 10 and protected from sunlight, rain and wind. In this way, the assembly type multifunctional system using the tarp pole 1 according to the present embodiment can exhibit both the function of putting up a tarp and the function as a structural frame of furniture. As a result, the frame structure 4 with the tarp 10 can be used as an all-weather exhibition booth, so it is possible to provide a tarp pole system that can easily produce assembled furniture that can be used both indoors and outdoors.

[2. Configuration of assembled multifunctional system]
Next, with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, the configuration of the assembly type multifunctional system according to this embodiment will be described in more detail.

As shown in FIG. 1, the assembly type multifunctional system according to this embodiment includes a plurality of tarp poles 1, a plurality of pipe materials 2, and a plurality of joint parts 3. By interconnecting these tarp poles 1, pipe materials 2, and joint parts 3 in the vertical, horizontal, and front-back directions, a frame structure 4 that becomes the structural frame of the various types of furniture described above is constructed.

The tarp pole 1 and the pipe material 2 are examples of frame materials that constitute the frame structure 4. Note that the frame material of the frame structure 4 may include structural materials other than the tarp pole 1 and the pipe material 2. Alternatively, only the tarp pole 1 may be used as the frame material of the frame structure 4 without using the pipe material 2. Note that the tarp pole 1 also includes a pole used as a tent pole for pitching a tent.

The tarp poles 1 are composed of pipe-shaped members that can be connected to each other in the longitudinal direction. The pipe material 2 is also composed of a pipe-shaped member. From the viewpoint of lightness and ease of handling, it is preferable that the tarp pole 1 and the pipe material 2 are made of a hollow pipe material having a cross-sectional shape such as a circle, an ellipse, or a polygon. In the example of FIG. 1, the tarp pole 1 is made of, for example, a cylindrical pipe material having a circular cross-sectional shape. The pipe material 2 is composed of, for example, an elliptic cylindrical pipe material (elliptic pipe) having an elliptical cross-sectional shape. However, the cross-sectional shapes of the tarp pole 1 and the pipe material 2 are not limited to the example shown in FIG. 1, and may be changed to other cross-sectional shapes such as a circle, an ellipse, and a polygon.

In addition, from the viewpoint of weight reduction, the material of the tarp pole 1 and the pipe material 2 is preferably a lightweight metal such as aluminum, but is not limited to such an example, and other metals such as iron or titanium may be used. It may be made of resin such as plastic.

The joint part 3 is a connector configured to be detachably attached to an end of a frame material such as the tarp pole 1 or the pipe material 2. From the viewpoint of ease of manufacture, the material of the joint part 3 is preferably a resin molded product, but may be made of metal such as aluminum. By attaching the tarp pole 1 to one end (for example, the upper end) of the joint part 3 and attaching another tarp pole 1 to the other end (for example, the lower end) of the joint part 3, The two tarp poles 1 can be connected in a straight line. Further, by further attaching the pipe material 2 to the side of the joint part 3, the two tarp poles 1 and the pipe material 2 can be connected in a T-shape. In this way, by combining and connecting a plurality of tarp poles 1 and pipe materials 2 using the joint parts 3, a frame structure 4 having a desired three-dimensional shape can be constructed.

Here, with reference to FIG. 2, the connection structure between the joint part 3, the tarp pole 1, and the pipe material 2 will be described in detail.

Moreover, a columnar male part 32 (second male part) is provided at the other end (for example, the upper end) of the joint part 3 as a connecting part.

The lower female part 31 of the joint part 3 is thicker than the male part 12 of the tarp pole 1, and the inner diameter of the female part 31 of the joint part 3 is smaller than the outer diameter of the male part 12 of the tarp pole 1 by a predetermined clearance. ) is larger. Thereby, the male part 12 of the tarp pole 1 can be inserted into the female part 31 of the joint part 3. Further, a pin hole 33 (second pin hole) is formed through the female part 31 of the joint part 3. On the other hand, the male part 12 of the tarp pole 1 described above is provided with a spring-type pin 14 (first spring-type pin) that can be engaged with the pin hole 33 (second pin hole) of the female part 31 of the joint part 3. ing. Through the pin hole 33 and the spring type pin 14, the female part 31 of the joint part 3 and the male part 12 of the tarp pole 1 can be removably fitted.

On the other hand, the upper male part 32 of the joint part 3 is thinner than the female part 11 of the tarp pole 1, and the outer diameter of the male part 32 of the joint part 3 is smaller than the inner diameter of the female part 11 of the tarp pole 1. It is smaller by the gap (clearance). Thereby, the male part 32 of the joint part 3 can be inserted into the female part 11 of the tarp pole 1. Further, the male part 32 of the joint part 3 is provided with a spring-type pin 34 (second spring-type pin) that can be engaged with the pin hole 13 (first pin hole) of the female part 11 of the tarp pole 1. . The spring-type pin 34 is a pin that can be freely moved in and out due to the elastic force of a spring. The spring pin 34 and the pin hole 13 allow the male part 32 of the joint part 3 and the female part 11 of the tarp pole 1 to be removably fitted together.

Each joint part 3 includes a connecting structure such as the female part 31 and male part 32 described above. As a result, by inserting the male part 12 at the upper end of one tarp pole 1 into the female part 31 at the lower end of the joint part 3, the spring-loaded pin 14 of the one tarp pole 1 can be inserted into the female part 31 of the joint part 3. By engaging with the pin hole 33, the one tarp pole 1 and the joint part 3 can be connected. Similarly, by inserting the male part 32 at the upper end of the joint part 3 into the female part 11 at the lower end of the other tarp pole 1, the spring-loaded pin 34 of the joint part 3 can be inserted into the other tarp pole 1. The other tarp pole 1 and the joint part 3 can be connected by engaging with the pin hole 13 of the tarp pole 1 . In addition, by pushing the spring-type pin 14 or spring-type pin 34 at the connecting part of each tarp pole 1 and joint part 3, the fitted state of each tarp pole 1 and joint part 3 is released, and each tarp pole 1 is It can also be easily separated from the joint part 3.

Note that, as shown in FIG. 1, the joint part 3 disposed on the uppermost surface of the frame structure 4 includes a part main body 30 and a female part 31, and does not need to include a male part 32 (upper part). Alternatively, if the male part 32 (upper part) is attached to the part body 30 of the joint part 3 disposed on the uppermost surface, the head part 9 can be attached to the male part 32. A rope for fixing the frame structure 4 can be hung on the head part 9.

(3) Connection structure of pipe material 2 and joint part 3 Similar to the connection structure of tarp pole 1 and joint part 3 as described above, pipe material 2 and joint part 3 are also connected.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, an oval pipe-shaped female part 21 (third female part) is provided at both ends of the pipe material 2 as a connecting part. Moreover, an elliptical columnar male part 35 (third male part) is provided on the side surface of the joint part 3 as a connecting part.

The male part 35 (third female part) of the joint part 3 is an elliptical cylindrical member that is configured as a separate member (side part) from the part main body 30 and is fixed to the side surface of the part main body 30 with a screw 38. In the example of FIG. 2, two male parts 35, 35 are provided so as to protrude from the side surface of one part main body 30 in different directions. The two male parts 35, 35 protrude in two mutually perpendicular horizontal directions. These male parts 35, 35 function as connecting parts for connecting the joint part 3 to the two pipe materials 2, 2.

The elliptical columnar male part 35 on the side surface of the joint part 3 is smaller than the elliptical pipe-shaped female part 21 of the pipe material 2, and the outer diameter of the male part 35 of the joint part 3 is the same as that of the female part 21 of the pipe material 2. Smaller than the inner diameter by a predetermined gap (clearance). Thereby, the male part 35 of the joint part 3 can be inserted into the female part 21 of the pipe material 2. Further, a pin hole 23 (third pin hole) is formed through the female portion 21 of the pipe material 2 . On the other hand, the male part 35 of the joint part 3 is provided with a spring-type pin 36 (third spring-type pin) that can engage with the pin hole 23 (third pin hole) of the female part 21 of the pipe material 2. .

For example, depending on the arrangement of the joint part 3 in the lattice structure of the frame structure 4, the joint part 3 may include three or more male parts 35.

Further, in the examples shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, in the three-dimensional frame structure 4, the plurality of tarp poles 1 are connected by joint parts 3 so as to extend in the vertical direction, and constitute columns of the frame structure 4. ing. Further, a plurality of pipe materials 2 are connected by joint parts 3 so as to extend in the horizontal direction, thereby forming a beam of the frame structure 4. However, the arrangement and orientation of the tarp poles 1 and pipe materials 2 in the frame structure 4 are not limited to this example. For example, the tarp pole 1 may be arranged to extend in the horizontal direction, the pipe material 2 may be arranged to extend in the vertical direction, or the tarp pole 1 and the pipe material 2 may be arranged to extend in the diagonal direction. It may be arranged as follows. Depending on the orientation, arrangement, thickness, shape, number of installations, etc. of the tarp pole 1 and pipe material 2, the orientation of the connecting parts of the joint parts 3 (the female part 31, male parts 32, 35, etc. described above) The arrangement, size, shape, number of installations, etc. can be changed in various ways. This makes it possible to construct frame structures 4 of various shapes, sizes, and designs.
