Description

The present invention mainly relates to a bench installed outdoors, and more particularly to a bench having a awning function.

Generally, benches are installed in parks and plazas and are used by various people. Some benches are provided with legs, a seat having a horizontally long seat, and a backrest. By the way, on such a bench, when the sunlight is strong, it may be difficult to use because there is no sunshade. Especially, when it is used by children or parents with infants, be careful about heat stroke. Be careful when using it as it must be sent.

Conventionally, for example, a covered bench as described in Japanese Patent No. 2750279 (Patent Document 1) or Japanese Patent No. 400551 (Patent Document 2) is known. However, in the case of this covered bench, although it has a awning function, on the contrary, since the roof is fixed, it cannot cope with this when you want to be exposed to the sun.

Therefore, although it is not a bench technology, for example, there is a reclining seat technology published in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 11-9387 (Patent Document 3), and it is conceivable to apply this to a bench. As shown in FIG. 9, in this method, a seat-shaped blind 103 is timely extended above the seat 102 from the backrest 101 side of the reclining seat 100 installed outdoors to shade the seat 102. In the climbing seat 100, the blind 103 is wound around a reel shaft 104 provided on the backrest portion 101 side, and is supported by the left and right rubber ropes 105 erected from the backrest portion 101 side to the front side and extended. Therefore, it covers the upper part of the seat portion 102 from the backrest portion 101 side. According to this, the blind 103 is wound around the reel shaft 104 and stored on the backrest 101 side when it is okay to be exposed to the sun, and when the sunlight is strong and a sunshade is required, the blind 103 is timely placed above the seat 102. It can be extended and used.

Japanese Patent No. 2750279 Japanese Patent No. 4005501 Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 11-9387

However, in the above reclining seat technique, since the blind 103 must be manually extended from the reel shaft 104 on the backrest 101 side toward the upper side of the seat 102, it is difficult to extend the blind 103 when the height of the upper position is high. There is a problem that the operability at the time of feeding is poor. Further, since the reel shaft 104 for winding the blind 103 is provided on the backrest 101 side, the visibility on the backrest 101 side when the blind 103 is not used is deteriorated, and the left and right rubbery materials that support the left and right sides of the blind 103 are deteriorated. Since the rope 105 is on the front side, there is also a problem that the landscape is spoiled.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and is provided with a blind that can have a awning function when necessary, and moreover, the visibility before and after the seat portion can be secured as much as possible when the blind is not used. It is an object of the present invention to provide a bench in which the blind is provided and the operability is improved by facilitating the extension of the blind.

In order to achieve the above object, the bench of the present invention includes a leg portion, a seat portion provided on the leg portion having a horizontally long seat surface, and a backrest portion provided on the leg portion and / or the seat portion. On a bench equipped with
A blind device having a sheet-like blind that can be wound up above the seat and can be unwound from above the seat and can be unwound to cover the rear side with the backrest from above the seat. And a support portion that supports the blind device above the seat portion.

According to this, since the blind device is located above the seat portion, it is possible to prevent a situation in which the visibility before and after the seat portion is impaired when the blind is not used in the wound state, and it is possible to secure the visibility. it can. In addition, when not in use, it is possible to secure the sunlight on the seat and also to secure the air permeability.
