Description

The present invention relates to an intermediate unit for use in a chair unit.

Conventionally, desks and chairs are generally used as a set for office furniture. For example, there are many styles in which desks for one person or multiple people are lined up side by side and many people work side by side in a row. rice field. It is also common to place rows of desks back to back. In these traditional working styles, a fixed address system is common in which a specific person uses a specific seat.

However, in recent years, the working style in the office is undergoing major changes. For example, the free address method (non- territorial method) where you work for your favorite seat without having a specific seat, the style of working in an independent seat for one person, or the seats that can be used by multiple people are fixed. Group working style, etc.

One of the backgrounds of these changes in working style is the miniaturization of information devices such as notebook computers and tablet terminals as work tools. In other words, since these notebook computers and tablet terminals are portable, there is no need to work in a specific seat, and as a result, the free address system has made great progress.

Another background is the progress in creating an environment to bring out the creative abilities of workers. In other words, in order to enhance the creativity of workers and increase their intellectual productivity, it is necessary to have an environment where they can concentrate on their thoughts, relax, or easily receive intellectual stimulation through discussions with colleagues. Yes, there is progress in the independence and grouping of seats. Therefore, it can be said that it is preferable to be able to select a seat according to the purpose of work.

In relation to the concentration and relaxation of workers, the balance between the closedness and openness of the environment surrounding the workers is important. For example, in a completely private room, the stimulus from the outside is too weak and the tension disappears, which often reduces productivity. On the other hand, in an overly open environment, such as when working alone using tables scattered on a large floor, the movements and conversations of others may distract you or your eyes may be anxious. Not only is it difficult to concentrate on thinking, but it is also difficult to take a relaxed posture (for example, stretching or meditation) while refraining from others.

Therefore, looking at the furniture (furniture) that has actually been proposed, there are Patent Documents 1 and 2 as a chair unit in which the sofa is surrounded by panels from the left and right and from the back to improve the closedness. In addition, there is a sofa provided with a table plate so that a person can perform work such as operating a notebook computer while relaxing. As an example, in Patent Document 3, a horizontally rotating arm is provided below the seat. A structure in which a table plate is attached to a support column erected at the tip of an arm is disclosed.

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2013-94404 Design Registration No. 1482021 Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 10-215980

In Patent Documents 1 and 2, since the chair unit is opened only to the front, the closedness is high, but the table is not intended for office use and is used for work such as operating a laptop computer. Since it does not have a board, it can be said that it is difficult to divert it to office use.

On the other hand, Patent Document 3 is excellent in terms of workability because a person sitting on a sofa can use the table board in a normal posture, but it is too open, so that the worker also takes a long time. It is difficult to divert it to work for office work. Further, in Patent Document 3, since the arm is arranged along the floor surface, there is also a troublesome problem that this interferes with a person.

In other words, when viewed as a single chair unit, the current situation is that there is no one that takes into consideration the closedness, openness, and ease of work.

On the other hand, office furniture such as desks are often installed side by side. Also, as for chairs, it is widely practiced to connect them to the left and right as seen in pipe chairs, for example. Originally, the connection of these conventional furniture was made on the assumption that the user faces the same direction, so that the desks and chairs that are lined up side by side should face the same direction. The posture is aligned.

However, in the case of office furniture for one person, it is necessary to ensure a certain degree of privacy from the viewpoint of increasing intellectual productivity, and therefore it is preferable to provide some kind of shielding means. As one response to this request, for example, it is conceivable to arrange chair units with table plates on the left and right in the same posture as in Patent Document 3, and to provide a partition like a tsuitate between the left and right chair units. Since the distance between people adjacent to each other on the left and right does not change, it can be said that simply providing a partition does not lead to a favorable environment in which intellectual labor can be concentrated.

The present invention has been made in view of such a situation, and is intended to provide office furniture that can contribute to the improvement of intellectual productivity.

The invention of the present application relates to a chair unit , and in claim 1,
"It has a seat and a backrest, and an enclosure that surrounds them from the left, right, and back .
Before SL surrounding frame has a left and right side panels and a back panel which is continuous integrally to, and is formed in plan view trapezoidal shape so that the distance of the left and right side panels is widened toward the front of the person seated There "
It is configured as.

The invention of claim 2 is claimed in claim 1.
"The seat is formed in the shape of a plane viewing platform so that the distance between the left and right sides increases toward the front of the seated person."
It is configured as.

The invention of claim 3 is claimed in claim 1 or 2.
"The side panel is sized to cover the entire seat and backrest in a side view."
It is configured as.

In the present invention , since the seated person is surrounded by a frame from three sides, the person has a closed property separated from the surroundings, but the person sits toward the opening of the chair unit, so that the person also has an open property. It is easy for colleagues to talk to. Therefore, the closedness and the openness are in harmony, and the environment is such that it is possible to receive external stimuli while concentrating. This can contribute to the improvement of intellectual productivity.

If the chair units are placed next to each other and their orientations (postures) are changed back and forth , the adjacent people will work in opposite directions, and therefore, compared to the case where they face the same direction. Therefore, the distance between adjacent people can be widened. As a result, it is possible to expand the sense of distance between adjacent people and concentrate on their duties. In particular, if the side panels of adjacent chair units are connected via an intermediate unit, the distance between adjacent people will increase, resulting in stronger independence and greater concentration for work. It can be said that it can contribute.

The left and right side panels of the chair unit may be parallel to each other in a plan view. However, in the present invention, the chair unit is formed in a plan view table shape, so that the front of the person sitting on the chair unit Since the space of the chair expands to the left and right toward the front, the feeling of openness can be enhanced (the feeling of oppression can be eliminated). Therefore, a person can work in a relaxed atmosphere, which is preferable.

Further, when the chair unit is formed in a trapezoidal shape, there is an advantage that even if the table plate is arranged in front of the seat, the space for entering and exiting the chair unit is widened, and it is easy to sit and leave the seat. In other words, by arranging the table board closer to the right side or left side, it is possible to leave a space for entering and exiting in front of the seat, but the left and right side panels are tilted in a plan view so as to spread toward the front. Therefore, the space for people to enter and exit is expanded toward the front, which makes it easier to sit and leave the seat, which is convenient.

In addition, when a plurality of chair units are arranged in a zigzag shape, a passage-like space between the furniture devices adjacent to the left and right is created in front of the furniture device in the middle portion excluding both ends of the row. When the unit is trapezoidal, the space sandwiched between the chair units expands toward the front, making it easier to get in and out of the furniture device in the middle part. The left-right width of the front end of the seat is preferably about 1.5 times that of a normal chair seat.

Since the chair unit is formed in a trapezoidal shape, even if the two chair units are opened in the same direction and arranged side by side, the directions in which the person faces are not parallel and spread out from each other. Therefore, the sense of distance can be widened.

It is a figure which shows the 1st Embodiment, (A) is a perspective view, (B) is a plan view. (A) is a perspective view showing an example of a table plate mounting structure, (B) is a vertical sectional side view showing an example of a connecting structure of an intermediate unit and a chair unit, and (C) is a flat view showing an elevating guide structure of a shielding plate. The cross-sectional view, (B) is a vertical sectional front view of an example in which the shielding plate is detachable. Each sub-figure is a perspective view showing a layout example in which a plurality of furniture devices are connected to the left and right. It is a top view of the layout example shown in FIG. (A) is a perspective view of the second embodiment, and (B) is a perspective view of the third embodiment. In the figure which shows the 4th Embodiment, (A) is a perspective view of a single body, (B) is a perspective view of the state connected to the left and right, and (B) is a plan view of the state connected to the left and right. It is a top view of the 5th Embodiment.

Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the present application, the front-back and left-right directions are used to specify the direction, but the front-back and left-right directions are based on the direction of a person who normally sits on the chair unit. The front view is a state of being viewed from the direction facing the seated person.

(1). Structure of the first embodiment First, the first embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 4 will be described. First, the structure will be described mainly with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. As shown in FIG. 1 (A), the furniture device of the present embodiment has a seat 1, a backrest 2, and a headrest 3, and by surrounding these with a frame 4 from three sides, left and right and back, a chair. The unit 5 is configured. Therefore, the enclosure 4 is composed of side panels 6 arranged on the left and right sides of the seat 1, and a back panel 7 located behind the backrest 2 and the headrest 3.

The left and right side panels 4 are arranged in a plan view C-shape so that the distance is widened toward the front, and along with this, the seat 1 is also shaped like a flat view trapezoid so that the width is widened toward the front. It has become. Therefore, the chair unit 5 has a symmetrical trapezoidal shape that spreads toward the front in a plan view. The enclosure 4 is so high that the seated person cannot see it from the side or the back. Further, the side panel 6 and the back panel 7 are integrally continuous.

The seat 1 has, for example, a structure in which a cushion material is stretched on a seat plate, and is attached to the left and right side panels 6 via a stay material or a bracket. Further, the backrest 2 has, for example, a structure in which a cushioning material is stretched on the back plate, and is attached to the back panel 7. A locking structure in which the backrest 2 tilts backward against the spring means can also be adopted. In this case, it is also possible to advance the seat 1 in conjunction with the backward tilt of the backrest 2.

For the side panel 6 and the back panel 7, various structures such as a single-layer wooden board or plywood, or a laminated body in which a metal plate is stretched on the front and back of a core material such as a honeycomb structure can be adopted. It is also possible to put a cloth on the surface for beauty.

The left and right side panels 6 are formed with incisions 8 in which the portions above the height of the seated person's elbows are cut out toward the front and above, and the incisions 8 are thinly shielded for blindfolding. A plate (blind plate) 9 is attached so as to be able to move up and down. As the shielding plate 9, for example, a translucent but opaque resin plate such as a milky white acrylic plate can be adopted. Of course, a non-transmissive metal plate or resin plate can also be used. A screen-like (film-like) structure can also be adopted.

The shielding plate 10 can be mounted up and down with respect to the side panel 6. In this case, as shown in FIG. 2C, a gutter-shaped guide body 10 that guides the front end edge and the rear end edge of the shielding plate 9 so as to be slidable up and down may be built in the side panel 6. The shielding plate 9 can be raised and lowered by a motor or manually by a mechanism similar to that of a power window of an automobile.

A button (switch) is required when the shielding plate 9 is moved up and down by a motor, and the button can be provided on the panel 11 provided on the side panel 6 as shown in FIG. 1 (A). If it is desired to prevent contact with the body, it may be provided on the upper surface of the incision portion 8. When the shielding plate 9 is manually raised and lowered, a structure for raising and lowering by rotating a handle provided on the inner side surface of the side panel 6 and a structure for raising and lowering against friction can be adopted. It is also possible to adopt a structure in which an elastic engaging / disengaging mechanism such as a ball catch is provided in the guide portion, and the latch body is engaged / disengaged with the engaging portion against elasticity to move up and down.

The shielding plate 9 can also be detachable. An example thereof is shown in FIG. 2 (D). That is, in this case, the lower end edge of the shielding plate 9 is fixed to the receiving member 12, and the foot body 13 provided in the receiving member 12 is detachably fitted into the hole 14 provided in the side panel 6. .. The foot body 13 may have a plate shape or a rod shape.

An intermediate unit 15 is arranged in front of one side panel 6 of the chair unit 5. That is, a furniture device composed of the chair unit 5 and the intermediate unit 15 is configured. The intermediate unit 15 has the same height as the lower surface of the cut-out portion 8 in the side panel 6. The intermediate unit 15 has a certain width on the left and right so that small items, writing tools, documents, etc. can be placed, and the intermediate unit 15 is arranged so that the outer surface is flush with the outer surface of one side panel 6. There is. In addition, the height is such that the seated person can rest his wrist. Therefore, it is possible to operate the mouse.

Further, the intermediate unit 15 is formed in a plan view trapezoid in which the left and right widths increase toward the front, but the outer surface is formed in the same plane as the outer surface of the side panel 6, and the inner surface is viewed in a plan view. It is set so as to be orthogonal to the front end of the seat 1. Therefore, it has a left-right asymmetric trapezoid that is inclined at the same angle as the side panel 6 only on the outer surface.
When the intermediate unit 15 is formed in a trapezoidal shape, the narrow portion is arranged so as to be located on the user's side, so that the intermediate unit can be prevented from getting in the way of the user while securing the flat area as much as possible. There are advantages.
By the way, the table plate 18 has a rectangular shape, and it looks good if one side surface thereof is arranged so as to be parallel to the inner side surface of the intermediate unit 15. In this case, the chair unit 5 is formed in a trapezoidal shape and the intermediate unit 15 is formed. If 15 is a rectangle or a square, the table plate 18 will be tilted in a plan view so as to move away from the seat 1 as the distance from the intermediate unit 18 increases. There is concern that it will be difficult.
On the other hand, when the intermediate unit 15 is formed in a trapezoidal shape as in the embodiment, when the chair unit 5 is formed in a trapezoidal shape, the outer surface of the intermediate unit 15 is aligned with the side panel 6 in the chair unit 5. Since the inner surface of the intermediate unit 15 can be aligned in a posture orthogonal to the front surface of the seat 1 in a plan view, the front and rear end faces of the table plate 18 should also be arranged in a posture parallel to the front surface of the seat 1. Can be done. Therefore, it can be said that the appearance can be improved and the work such as the operation of a notebook computer can be easily performed.

The shielding plate 16 is also attached to the intermediate unit 15 so as to be able to move up and down or to be detachably attached. The shielding plate 16 of the intermediate unit 15 is arranged so as to extend in a straight line with the shielding plate 9 of the side panel 6 in a plan view. The width is wide enough to allow for. When the shielding plate 16 is moved up and down by a motor, an operation panel 17 may be provided on the intermediate unit 15 as shown in FIG. 1 (A).

The intermediate unit 15 is provided with a table plate 14 having a size at least large enough to accommodate a notebook computer. As the mounting structure of the table plate 18, as shown by the alternate long and short dash line in FIG. 1A, a support column 19 rotatably mounted at the lower end of the intermediate unit 15 can be used.

In this case, the lower end of the support column 19 has a rear facing portion 19a that can come into contact with the floor surface, and the rear end portion of the rear facing portion 19a is rotatably connected to the intermediate unit 15 by a left-right and horizontally long rotation shaft. ing. A bracket (not shown) is fixed to the upper end of the support column 19, and the table plate 18 is fixed to the bracket. The support column 19 can rotate against the friction of the connecting portion, but it is also possible to provide a lock device and release the lock by operating a button or a lever before rotating the support column 19.

FIG. 2A shows another mounting structure. That is, in this example, the slide bracket 21 is slidably mounted on the inner surface of the intermediate unit 15 via the horizontal rail 20, and the table plate 18 is fixed to the slide bracket 21. The table plate 18 can also be attached to the slide bracket 21 so as to be rotatable back and forth.

The intermediate unit 15 is connected to the front end portion of the side panel 6. An example of this connected structure is shown in FIG. 2 (B). That is, in this example, the H-shaped connecting tool 22 is used, a rear engaging hole 24 is formed in the front plate 23 provided at the front end of the side panel 6, and the connecting tool 22 is formed in the rear engaging hole 24. While the rear engaging claw 22a is dropped and engaged, a front engaging hole 25 is formed in the rear surface plate 15a of the intermediate unit 15, and the portion of the front engaging hole 25 is connected to the front engaging claw 22b of the connector 22. It is fitted and engaged from above. The connecting tool 22 is provided at a plurality of locations on the upper and lower sides.

Instead of using the H-shaped connector 22, a plurality of downward hook-shaped engaging claws are provided on the rear surface of the intermediate unit 15 at the top and bottom, and these are fitted into the engaging holes formed at the front end of the side panel 6. It is also possible to include. Alternatively, it is also possible to prepare an L-shaped joint fitting in a plan view that overlaps the rear surface of the intermediate unit 15 and the inner surface of the side panel 6, and screw the joint fitting to both of them.

(2). Aspects - Summary above chair unit 5 of the layout can be configured furniture device juxtaposed right and left. An example of the layout is shown in FIGS. 3 and 4. In the first layout example shown in FIGS. 3A and 4A, a plurality of chair units 5 are arranged side by side with the opening direction changed in the front-rear direction. The intermediate unit 15 is connected to the right side panel 6, and the left side panel 6 and the intermediate unit 15 of the adjacent chair units 5 overlap each other on the left and right sides. In this case, the side panels 6 and the intermediate unit 15 that are overlapped on the left and right may be connected or simply overlapped.

Further, in this first layout example, the right-use type chair unit 5 in which the intermediate unit 15 is connected to the right side panel 6 and the left-use type chair unit 5 in which the intermediate unit 15 is connected to the left side panel 6 are used. They are lined up alternately on the left and right. In this first layout example, the depth dimension of the furniture device is small. Therefore, it is suitable when there is not enough space in the front-rear direction or when openness is to be emphasized.

In the second layout example shown in FIGS. 3 (B) and 4 (B), the chair units 5 are arranged side by side by alternately changing the opening direction in the front-rear direction, which is common to the first layout example. However, unlike the first layout, the intermediate unit 15 is arranged between the end faces of the side panels 6 in the adjacent chair units 5.

Therefore, the depth of the furniture device is increased, and the chair unit 5 located in the middle portion except for the chair units 5 at both left and right ends is surrounded by two adjacent furniture devices in front of the user. A large passage-shaped space 26 is vacant. In addition, the distance between adjacent people is wider than in the case of the first layout example. Therefore, the closedness of the chair unit 5 and the privacy ensuring function are enhanced. It is suitable when there is room in the room or when you want to provide an environment where you can concentrate more easily on the workers.

As an intermediate layout example between the first layout example and the second layout example, it is also possible to shift the intermediate unit 15 and the side panel 6 back and forth and stack them. That is, it is also possible to arrange the left and right chair units 5 so that the front end portion of the side panel 6 is located in the middle of the front and rear of the intermediate unit 15.

In the third layout example shown in FIGS. 3 (C) and 4 (C), two chair units 5 arranged so as to open in the same direction and a chair unit 5 arranged so as to open in opposite directions are arranged. Combined. Therefore, two chair units 5 facing each other in the same direction are set as one set, and adjacent sets are opened in opposite directions.

In the two left and right chair units 5 opened in the same direction, the side panel 6 and the intermediate unit 15 overlap each other, but these may be connected by a connecting tool or the like, or may be simply overlapped. Further, the chair units 5 that are adjacent to each other and open in opposite directions are in contact with each other on the front end surfaces of the side panels 6, but these may also be connected or simply brought into contact with each other.

Since the chair unit 5 is formed in a trapezoidal shape in a plan view, even if the two chair units 5 are opened in the same direction and arranged side by side, the directions in which people face are not parallel and spread out from each other. For this reason, the sense of distance is widening. Further, even if they are arranged side by side in a posture of opening in the same direction, the area of each person is divided by the shielding plate 9 provided in the intermediate unit 15, so that the work can be done without being distracted by the next person. You can concentrate on. Further, by lowering the shielding plate 9, there is an advantage that communication can be facilitated.

The left-right width of the front end of the seat 1 (or the distance between the front ends of the left and right santo panels 6 ) is set to about 1.5 times that of a normal chair seat. Since the table plate 18 is moved to one side on the left or right side of the furniture device, there is a space next to the table plate 18 for people to enter and exit, but the chair unit 4 is formed in a trapezoidal shape and the side panel 6 is in front. Since it is displaced outward toward, it increases the space for entering and exiting, making it easier to sit and leave.
Further, as shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B, when a large number of furniture devices are arranged in a zigzag shape, a passage-shaped space 26 sandwiched between the left and right chair units 4 is formed in front of the furniture devices in the intermediate portion. Although it is vacant, since the chair unit 6 has a trapezoidal shape, the space 26 has a wider space toward the time and effort, so even if the chair unit 4 located in the middle portion is in a recessed state, the chair unit 4 can be entered and exited. There is an advantage that can be done easily.

By the way, for example, a normal one-person chair has a left-right width that is about the same as the maximum width of the user. Therefore, if the table plate is provided with the left and right side panels, a person cannot sit or leave the seat unless the table plate is flipped up. However, this is troublesome and is not suitable for office furniture that is used for a long time.

On the other hand, in the present embodiment , the seat 1 has a width of about 1.5 times that of a normal chair. Therefore, by moving the table plate 18 to the right or left, a person can move to the side of the table plate 18. You can leave a space where you can go in and out. Further, there is a space between the seat 1 and the table plate 18 so that a person can insert his / her foot. Therefore, a person can easily sit down and leave the table without making the table plate 18 a flip-up type. Therefore, it is possible to stand or sit on the table board 18 with an article such as a notebook computer placed on it. Therefore, it is very easy to use and is also suitable as furniture for office work.

Moreover, when the chair unit 5 is formed in a plan view trapezoidal shape as in the present embodiment, the space above the seat 1 expands forward, so that a person can easily slide his / her body when sitting and separate his / her body when leaving his / her seat. It will be easier. Therefore, the ease of sitting and leaving is even higher. Also, from the visual (psychological) point of view, the chair has a strong impression that it is easy to sit and leave and is easy to use. The side panel 6 can be projected toward the front of the seat 1, but in this case, it can be said that the ease of sitting and leaving the seat by forming the side panel 6 into a trapezoidal shape is more remarkable.

As described above, since a plurality of the chair units 5 of the present embodiment can be arranged in various layouts to form furniture devices of various forms, an optimum layout can be realized in consideration of various conditions. Further, even when the chair unit 5 is viewed alone, for example, since the left-right distance is widened toward the front of the user as a whole, it can be said that the work can be easily performed without a feeling of oppression. Further, since the inner surface of the intermediate unit 15 is orthogonal to the front end of the seat 1 in a plan view, it is possible to prevent the user's foot from hitting the intermediate unit 15, which is convenient. Further, the rectangular or square table plate 18 can be arranged in a posture in which the front and rear edges thereof are parallel to the front end of the seat 1, so that the appearance is also good.

If you want a bright environment, you can place a lamp as an option. In this case, the lamp can be placed on the upper surface of the intermediate unit 15 or fixed to the shielding plates 9 and 16. It is also possible to arrange an organic EL plate on the upper part of the shielding plate 9 or the like to integrally provide the surface emitting lamps on the shielding plates 9 and 16.

Although not shown, the intermediate unit 15 or the like can be provided with an outlet for power supply, a USB port for charging for a mobile phone, a smartphone, a tablet terminal, or a LAN port. Further, the wireless transmitter can be built in the upper surface of the side panels 4 and 5, the front panel 7, or the table plate 18.

For example, power outlets and the like can be provided on the upper surface of the intermediate unit 15 and on both front and rear surfaces symmetrically. Then, for example, in arranging two furniture facing each other, even if one intermediate unit 15 is arranged between the front and rear furniture, the person facing each other can take power from one front panel 7 or the like. can. That is, one front panel 7 can also be used as a power supply means for facing people.

If power supply means such as outlets are provided on the left and right sides of the front panel, as shown in FIG. Even if only one intermediate unit 15 is arranged between the two furniture pieces, one intermediate unit 15 can be shared as a means such as power supply.

(3). Other Embodiments Next, other embodiments shown in FIG. 5 and below will be described. Figure 5 a second embodiment shaped state shown in (A) is basically the same as the first embodiment, differences from the first embodiment constitutes an intermediate unit 15 into the opened pocket structure on the inside The point is that the bracket 28 is freely mounted on the lower surface of the top plate of the intermediate unit 15 and the table plate 18 is fixed to the bracket 28. In this embodiment, the inside of the intermediate unit 15 can be used as a luggage storage unit.

The third embodiment shown in FIG. 5B is also a modification of the first embodiment, and the difference from the first embodiment is that an object is placed on the side panel 6 on the side where the intermediate unit 15 is not provided. The point is that a possible base plate 29 is provided. Various items such as mobile phones, smartphones, writing tools, documents, memos, and watches can be placed on the base plate 29, and can also be used as an elbow pad.

The base plate 29 has a plate-like shape protruding inward from the side panel 6. Therefore, the lower part of the elbow pad 29 on the seat 1 can be used as a luggage storage area. Although omitted in the drawing, a shielding plate 9 is also provided on the side panel 6 provided with the base plate 29.

In the fourth embodiment shown in FIG. 6, the cut-out portion 8 is formed over the entire circumference of the side panel 6 and the back panel 7, and the shielding plate 9 is formed over the entire circumference. The shielding plate 9 is continuous over the entire circumference of the enclosure 4. For example, as shown by the alternate long and short dash line in (A), the shielding plate 9 is separated into three at the portion near the rear end of the side panel 6, and the intermediate portion is formed. As a fixed type, the left and right parts can be lifted or detached.

Further, in the present embodiment, the left and right side panels 6 have a left-right width that can be used as an accessory mounting table, and the shielding plate 9 is arranged close to the outside in order to widen the mounting surface of the object as much as possible. is doing. The intermediate unit 15 has a rectangular shape in a plan view. The layouts shown in (B) and (C) correspond to the layouts of FIGS. 3 (B) and 4 (B) of the first embodiment. Also in the embodiment of FIG. 6, the chair unit 5 is formed in a trapezoidal shape extending toward the front.

In the embodiment of FIG. 6, the portion having a large width is described as the side panel 6 and the back panel 7, but it is also possible that the side panel 6 and the back panel 7 are composed of a thick lower portion and a thin upper portion. Is. That is, the side panel and the back panel are regarded as a concept including a shielding plate, and since the shielding plate 9 also has an enclosure function, it is appropriate to specify the shielding plate 9 as a part of the side panel 6. It can also be said that.

Each of the above embodiments includes an intermediate unit 15, but the fifth embodiment shown in FIG. 7 does not include an intermediate unit 15. Instead, one side panel 6 is projected toward the seat 1. The front panel 30 is configured, and the table plate 18 is attached to the front panel 30. As shown by the arrows, the table plate 18 can be attached to the front panel 30 so as to be movable back and forth, or can be attached so as to be horizontally swivel.

In the figure, the left side panel 6 is provided with the front panel 30 for left use, but the right side panel 6 may be provided with the front panel 30 for right use. This embodiment can also realize various layouts. In this embodiment, the side panel 6 is provided with a base plate 29.
