JP6920066B2 - Composite furniture with chairs and table boards - Google Patents

Description

The present invention relates to office composite furniture provided with a chair and a table board.

Conventionally, desks and chairs are generally used as a set for office furniture. For example, a style in which desks for one person or multiple people are arranged side by side and a large number of people work side by side in a row is used. There were many. 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, there is a free address system (non-territorial system) where you can work on your favorite seat without having a specific seat, a style where you work in an independent seat for one person, or a seat that can be used by multiple people. 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 is preferable to be able to select a seat according to the purpose.

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.

Furthermore, the ease of operation of devices such as laptop computers is closely related to intellectual productivity. In other words, work can be done in an environment where a device such as a laptop computer can be handled as easily as a limb, but if the device is difficult to use, not only will the operation be distracted and the essential thoughts will be neglected. It may also increase the burden on the body (for example, the arm) and promote fatigue.

Therefore, looking at actual furniture (furniture), there are, for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2 as furniture with high openness. That is, Patent Documents 1 and 2 have a sofa-type chair with a foldable table plate attached, and when the table plate is placed in a horizontal position, a notebook computer can be used.

On the other hand, as an office furniture with a high degree of closure, for example, Patent Document 3 is provided. In Patent Document 3, four work spaces are formed by partitioning a space with a plan-viewing swastika-shaped partition, and a top plate is attached to each work space with its back surface in contact with the partition wall. ing. Therefore, the person works toward the partition wall.

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2011-125616 JP-A-2002-58564 CD-ROM of Jitsukaihei 05-29368

As described above, in order to increase the intellectual productivity of workers, it is important to harmonize the closedness and openness of the work environment and the operability of equipment (particularly notebook computers). Although 2 is a little heavier than a pipe chair with a memo stand, it is too open and it cannot be said that it can contribute to the improvement of intellectual productivity even if it is used for office work.

Also, since the table board is attached to the side of the chair and the whole is located on the seat, when you sit down or leave the seat, you have to flip up the table board and store it in the side of the chair. It's hard to say that it's cramped and user-friendly.

On the other hand, since Patent Document 3 is a kind of private room, it may be too closed and the improvement of intellectual productivity may be insufficient. Further, it can be said that Patent Document 3 lacks convenience because a top plate having the same size as a normal desk is surrounded by partition walls from three sides.

The present invention has been made to improve such a situation, and an object of the present invention is to provide a composite furniture having an unprecedented novel and user-friendly structure. Although many novel forms are presented in the present application, it is also possible to provide these novel and improved composite furniture.

The invention of the present application relates to the improvement of a composite furniture with a chair portion and a table board , and includes the configuration of each claim.
"A chair portion having a seat and a backrest and a table plate arranged in front of the chair portion are provided.
A side panel having an upper end portion higher than the seat and a height lower than the upper end portion of the backrest is arranged on at least one side of the left and right outer sides of the chair portion, and the side panel has the same height as the side panel. In addition, the front panel protruding toward the front side of the chair portion is provided integrally or separately, and the table plate is attached to the front panel or a member connected to the front panel so that the front-rear position can be changed. "
It has become the basic configuration called.

It is configured as.

The invention of claim 6 is based on the same basics as that of claim 1 .
" Side panels are arranged on the left and right sides of the chair portion, and back panels are arranged behind the chair portion. These left and right side panels and the back panel are integrally continuous, and the left and right side panels are integrally connected. the front end surface of the inner piece lateral side panels of the side panels, the front panel is mounted as a separate member "
The configuration is added.

7 is a development example of claim 6, and in the present invention, the present invention
"The side panel, the back panel, and the front panel are at a height such that the elbow of the seated person can be placed on the side panel, and a thin enclosure plate is erected on each of the panels, and the left and right side panels and the front panel are provided. Then, the enclosure is arranged so as to be offset to the left and right outside, and the upper surfaces of the side panel and the front panel are set to the left and right width so that an area on which a person's elbow can be placed remains inside the enclosure. There "
It is configured as.

The invention of claim 8 has the same basic configuration as that of claim 1.
The front end of 'the front panel, the most front end of the table plate in a state in which arranged in front before positioned in the vicinity of the curtain plate is connected to the lower end of the front SL front curtain plate, a bottom plate for contact with the floor It is provided integrally. "
The configuration is added.
In claim 8, it is also possible to provide a foot support on which a person's foot is placed on the bottom plate. When the front curtain plate is provided as in claim 8, the table plate can be attached to the front curtain plate.

In claim 9 , in any one of claims 1 to 8 ,
"The side panel has a left-right width sufficient to accommodate a person's elbow, and the side panel is formed with a cavity for storing articles that is open toward the chair. The cavity can also be installed on the front panel. "
It is configured as.

In claim 10 , in any one of claims 1 to 9 ,
"The table plate is attached to a receiving member that moves in perspective with respect to the chair portion, and the receiving member has a tray shape with an upward opening capable of storing articles, and the table plate is attached to the receiving member. , It is rotatably attached so as to open and close the receiving member. "
It is configured as.

In the present invention, since the table plate is provided on the front panel protruding in front of the chair portion or other members connected to the front panel, the table plate should be used in the same state as the top plate of a normal desk. Can be done. Therefore, it is suitable for office work. Moreover, since the front-rear position of the table plate can be adjusted, the front-rear position of the table plate can be set according to the preference of the user, the working condition, and the like. This can greatly contribute to the improvement of intellectual productivity.

In addition, since the table board is located in front of the seat, for example, it is easy to leave or re-seat with devices such as a laptop computer and documents placed on the table board. Therefore, the user It is friendly and suitable for office use. In addition, since the front panel protrudes in front of the side panel, the front panel acts like a kind of enclosure, so the territory demarcation function that informs others of the work area dedicated to individuals is also high. Therefore, it can be said that the concentration can be improved.

The table plate may have a configuration in which the front-rear position can be changed without changing the posture, but if a configuration in which the side view posture changes according to the change in the front-rear position as in claim 2, for example, the body is tilted backward. When the table plate is pulled toward you in this state, it is easy to operate the keys of the laptop computer placed on the table plate, and the monitor can also be easily viewed.

That is, when the user is upright the body, since the state as looking down from above the table plate and keep the substantially horizontal posture table plate, or Tsu row operations or writing a laptop While it is easy to do things, if you tilt your body backwards, you will be able to see the table plate from an oblique direction, so it is easier to operate the laptop computer and write with the table plate tilted backwards with respect to the horizontal. If the configuration of claim 2 is adopted, the easy-to-use posture of the table plate is automatically set according to the posture of the user in conjunction with the adjustment of the front-rear position.

As in claim 2, there are many methods for changing the front-back position and posture of the table plate in a series, but as in claim 3, when a back-and-forth rotating strut is used, the movements are serialized by a simple structure. can do. Further, if the height of the rotation fulcrum of the column is different, the ratio of the angle change to the rate of change of the front-rear position of the table plate is also different, so that the relationship between the front-rear position and the angle can be easily selected.

By the way, when working with a laptop computer placed on a table board, the LCD monitor of the laptop computer has the characteristic that it is easy to see from the direction perpendicular to the screen. The laptop monitor is tilted backwards from the vertical position, with a slight forward lean, but when a person leans backwards, the head recedes backwards and lowers, so the line of sight is horizontal. The angle (elevation angle) is small, so if you just pull the table plate toward a person, you will be in a state similar to looking up at the monitor from below, and it will be difficult to see the characters on the monitor. ..

On the other hand, in the invention of claim 4, when a person pulls the table plate toward the body in accordance with the backward tilt of the body, the table plate tilts forward and the monitor of the notebook computer also approaches the vertical posture. Because of the change, the relationship between the monitor and the line of sight can be automatically maintained in an appropriate state so that the line of sight of the person who leans backward is maintained in a state substantially orthogonal to the screen.

Moreover, because the columns are long vertically and the rotation fulcrum is located behind the front end of the table plate, it is easy to make the degree of angle change of the monitor follow the degree of backward tilt of the body. , It is easy to maintain the relationship between the line of sight and the monitor screen properly. From this point of view, the configuration of claim 4 is suitable for work with a notebook computer.

As in claim 4, when the rotation fulcrum of the column is positioned behind the front end of the table plate, the table plate tilts backward without lowering the height so much, so even if the front-rear position of the table plate changes. , A person can operate a laptop with his or her hands naturally extended without changing the height of the wrist so much. Therefore, the operability of the notebook computer is also excellent.

In the configuration of claim 5, since the front-rear position and the angle of the table plate can be adjusted separately, the state of the table plate can be finely adjusted according to the preference of the user and the like.

When the configuration of claim 6 is adopted, the left and right side panels and the back panel are connected in a series to increase the profound feeling, so that the territory demarcation function is further enhanced to create an environment in which the user can concentrate on the work. Can contribute. In particular, if the height of the side panel and the back panel is set to a height that hides the seated person's head, the closedness is further improved, which is suitable for realizing an environment in which the user can concentrate on the work. Is.

When the side panel and the back panel have a height such that the seated user's head is hidden or not hidden, the side panel and the back panel divide the work space surrounding the user. The difference from 3 is that in Patent Document 3, the user has the opening of the furniture (partitioning device) as his back, whereas in the present invention, the table plate is located at the opening of the work space, and the user. Is sitting with the back panel in the back and facing the opening direction of the work space.

In this way, while forming a space surrounded by the side panel and the back panel, the user faces the direction of the opening, so that the closedness and the openness are harmonious and a moderate tension is maintained. At the same time, it is possible to concentrate on the work, which can be said to improve intellectual productivity.

When the front panel is composed of a member different from the side panel as in claim 6, the left-use specification in which the front panel is attached to the left side panel and the right-use specification in which the front panel is attached to the right side panel are available. Since it can be selected, the flexibility of the member is increased. In addition, the front-rear length and height of the front panel can be individually designed separately from the side panel, which increases the freedom of choice. Therefore, there is an advantage that the product lineup can be enriched while sharing the members.

As described above, it is possible to increase the height of the side panel and the back panel to improve the closedness of the work space, but in this case, the side panel and the back panel function as strength members. However, since it is usually thick to some extent and has no translucency, simply raising the side panel and the back panel may increase the feeling of oppression.

On the other hand, when the configurations of claims 1 and 7 are adopted, the side panel can be used as an elbow pad to improve the convenience of the user, and the thin surrounding plate eliminates the feeling of oppression and is appropriate. It becomes possible to ensure closedness. It can be said that it is particularly preferable to construct the enclosure with a translucent non-transparent resin plate such as a glass-like resin plate because it is possible to secure an appropriate closedness while eliminating a feeling of oppression.

If the front curtain plate is provided as in claim 8, the concentration of work can be enhanced by the blindfold function. In particular, it can be said that it is preferable when used by women. It also has the advantage that luggage such as bags can be hidden behind the front curtain plate. Further, when the front curtain plate is brought into contact with the floor, the front panel and the front curtain plate are reinforced with each other to improve stability. Therefore, it is possible to stand on its own without having a back panel located behind the chair portion, and therefore, the freedom of design can be improved.

Further, if the bottom plate is provided as in claim 8 , the independence and stability can be further improved. Also, bags are easy to put on. Providing a foot support on the bottom plate has the advantage of improving relaxation.

When the configuration of claim 9 is adopted, the side panel can be used as a storage portion for articles, which is useful. It is also possible to provide a power outlet, a USB port, etc. in the cavity and use it for charging a smartphone. The cavity is open toward the seated person and is closed by the user, which is useful as a storage place for valuables.

When the configuration of claim 10 is adopted, small items, valuables, a power outlet, a power cable, and the like can be stored in the receiving member, which is useful. And since the table plate also serves as a lid, the structure can be simplified accordingly.

Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the present application, the front-back / left-right wording is used to specify the direction, but the front-back / left-right direction is based on the direction of a person who normally sits on the chair. The front view is a state of being viewed from the direction facing the seated person. The forward and backward movement of the table plate, in the retreat movement to approach the seat occupant in a front view, is a move away from the seat occupant in a front view is set to move forward.

(1). Outline of the First Embodiment First, the outline of the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2 (A). The furniture of the first embodiment includes a chair portion 3 composed of a seat 1 and a backrest 2, left and right side panels 4 and 5 located on the left and right outer sides of the chair, and a back panel 6 located behind the chair portion 3. It has a front panel 7 arranged in front of the right side panel 5, and a table plate 9 is rotatably attached to the front panel 7 via a support column 8. The table plate 9 is large enough to stably mount a notebook computer (not shown), and at the rear end, a left and right horizontally long stopper 10 is provided to prevent the mounted notebook computer or the like from slipping off. Is provided.

The left and right side panels 4 and 5 and the back panel 6 are integrally connected. Therefore, the side panels 4 and 5 and the back panel 6 form a forward-facing opening U-shaped enclosure. The side panels 4 and 5 have a width (for example, about 20 cm) that allows a seated person to stably place their elbows, and the side panels 4 and 5 and the back panel 6 are made of a thin plate material such as a resin plate. The chair portion enclosure plate 11 is erected.

A chair portion shroud 11 that is located on the chair portion shroud 11 and the back panel 6 located on the side panels 4, 5 are connected in a series. Therefore, even a thin plate has high stability. As the chair portion enclosure plate 11, for example, a translucent but opaque resin plate such as a milky white acrylic resin plate can be adopted. Of course, a non-transmissive plate material can also be used. A screen-like (film-like) one can also be used.

Chair part shroud 11, but is set to the height of the extent to which the seat occupant's head is hidden, or set to a height of about the seat occupant's shoulder, or set to a higher height than the seat's head It is also possible to do. Further, for example, to less than the height of the point of the back panel 6 the height of the point of the side panels 4,5, such that high Saga lower toward the near side at the point of the side panels 4,5, a top It is also possible to incline it.

Further, the chair portion enclosure plate 11 is arranged in a state of being displaced toward the outside of the side panels 4 and 5 and the back panel 6. Therefore, the seated person can stably place the elbow on the upper surfaces of the side panels 4 and 5. Therefore, the side panels 4 and 5 can be used as elbow pads. In addition, items such as writing tools, booklets, and smartphones can be placed on the upper surfaces of the side panels 4 and 5. That is, the side panels 4 and 5 can also be used as an article placing table.

In the present embodiment, the front panel 7 is formed in a hollow and square box shape, and is set to have substantially the same lateral width as the side panels 4 and 5. Also on the upper surface of the front panel 7 , the front enclosure plate 12 is erected in a state of being brought outward so as to be in line with the chair enclosure plate 11 in a plan view. Therefore, the upper surface of the front panel 7 can also be used as an article mounting table, and can also be used as a work surface such as a mouse operation. The front enclosure plate 12 is preferably made of the same material as the chair enclosure plate 11. Further, it is preferable to connect the two with a joint.
For example, as shown in FIG. 1, the side panel 5 and the front panel 7 are set to have the same height and a height lower than the upper end of the backrest 2, and both enclosure plates 11 and 12 are set to a height higher than the backrest. Has been done.

Although the front panel 7 has a rectangular shape in a plan view, other plan view shapes such as a front-spreading or anteriorly constricted trapezoid can also be adopted. Further, it does not have to have a hollow structure as described as another embodiment, and further, it may have a mode in which a top plate is attached to a support column.
Further, from the viewpoint of the shielding function, it is preferable that the panel shape has a surface spread, but from the viewpoint of the function of attaching the table plate 9, for example, a structure in which a top plate or a frame material is provided at the upper end of the column is also available. good. Therefore, as a term, it can be said that it is more appropriate to refer to the front member having at least one of a shielding function, a table plate mounting function, and a workbench function, rather than the wording of the front panel.

As is clearly shown in FIG. 2 (A), the left and right side panels 4 and 5 are inclined forward by a slight angle with respect to the front-rear longitudinal center line in a plan view so as to spread toward the front. ing. Therefore, the furniture main body portion including the chair portion 3, the left and right side panels 4, 5 and the back panel 6 has a trapezoidal shape in a plan view. On the other hand, the front panel 7 is arranged parallel to the front-rear longitudinal center line. Therefore, the front panel 7 and the side panel 5 are arranged in a bent posture in a plan view.

The support column 8 has an L-shaped shape in which a rear-facing portion 8b is provided at the lower end of a vertically elongated base portion 8a, and the rear end of the rear-facing portion 8b is rotatably connected to the inner surface of the front panel 7. .. When the base portion 8a of the support column 8 is in the vertical posture, the table plate 9 is in a substantially horizontal posture, and the rearward facing portion 8b is stably placed on the floor surface in the horizontal posture. The advantage of rotating around the rear end of the rearward facing portion 8b will be described later.

(2). Layout example of multiple furniture The front panel 7 is separate from the side panels 4 and 5, and can be connected to either the left or right side panels 4 and 5. Further, although the front panel 7 has left and right side surfaces, the table plate 9 can be attached to any side surface. Various layouts can be realized by appropriately combining the connection position of the front panel 7 and the arrangement position of the table plate 9. An example thereof is shown in FIGS. 2 (B) to 3.

In the layout example shown in FIGS. 2 (B) and 2 (C), a large number of furniture are connected to the left and right in a state where the opening directions are alternately changed. Therefore, a large number of furniture form a zigzag state in a plan view. ing. Therefore, in the furniture at the intermediate position excluding the furniture at both ends, there is a passage-like space in front of the user. That is, the furniture in the middle position is in a recessed state. Therefore, the closedness is high. In this layout example, only one front panel 7 is arranged between the furniture arranged in the front and rear.

In the layout example of FIGS. 2B and 2C, the right-handed specification in which the table plate 9 is located to the right of the seated person and the left-handed specification in which the table plate 9 is located to the left of the seated person alternate left and right. They are lined up. Therefore, the distance between the table plates 9 adjacent to each other on the left and right is constant.

In adjacent furniture, the side panels 4 and 5 and the front panel 7 form the same surface and are arranged in series. Therefore, when the chair portion enclosure plate 11 and the front enclosure plate 12 are provided, a gap is provided between the enclosure plates 11 and 12. This gap can be actively used for communication with neighboring people, or can be closed.

When closing the gap, a front plate is provided at the front end edge of the side panels 4 and 5, and the front end of the chair enclosure plate 11 is configured to have an L-shape in a plan view, or a front plate is provided at the front end of the front panel 7. The front enclosure plate 12 may be configured to have an L-shape in a plan view. It is also possible to attach a removable shielding plate to the surrounding plates 11 and 12. In any case, it is preferable that the front plate or the shielding plate has the same material and height as the surrounding plates 11 and 12.

It is also possible to shift the furniture adjacent to each other to the left and right so that the front end of the chair enclosure 11 in one piece of furniture and the front end of the front enclosure 12 in the other furniture abut each other. , In this case, no gap is created.

As mentioned above, there is a passage-like space in front of the furniture in the middle except for both ends of the furniture group, but since the left and right side panels 4 and 5 form a C-shape, the passage-like space is formed. The space has a wide entrance. For this reason, it is easy for people to come and go. In addition, since there is a certain degree of openness, it can also contribute to suppressing the feeling of oppression.

In FIGS. 3A and 3B, two pieces of furniture are arranged facing each other in the front-rear direction. Therefore, a substantially C-shaped space is formed by the two pieces of furniture. The front and rear furniture table plates 9 are in contact with each other or in close proximity to each other in a back-to-back manner when they are not rotated toward the front. In this embodiment, two pieces of furniture constitute a space having one doorway. Therefore, the closedness is high as a whole. Therefore, it is suitable when it is desired to improve the shielding property with the outside, such as a business negotiation or a meeting with high confidentiality.

In the layout example of FIGS. 3C and 3D, two pieces of furniture each having a front panel 7 are arranged so as to open in opposite directions while shifting the opening direction to the left and right. Since there are two front panels 7 at the boundary between adjacent furniture, the distance between the front and rear furniture is longer than in the case of FIGS. 2 (B) and 2 (C).

In the layouts (C) and (D), the table plate 9 is left-handed to the left side of the user, but in the layout example shown in FIGS. 3 (E) and 3 (F), the table plate 9 is used by the user. It is a right-handed specification that is moved to the right side of. In both the layout examples of (C) and (D) and the layout examples of (E) and (F), it is possible to connect a plurality of units to the left and right with these as one unit. In this case, FIG. (B) The form is similar to the layout of (C).

The front panel 7 has a left-use specification in which the table plate 9 is attached to the left side panel 4 and a right-use specification in which the table plate 9 is attached to the right side panel 5. What are the left-use specification and the right-use specification? , It may be prepared as a dedicated product in advance, or it may be supported by replacing the support columns 8 on the right side surface and the left side surface of one type of front panel 7.

In the embodiments (C) to (F), the table plates 9 are attached to the two front panels 7 arranged in the front and rear, respectively. However, one front panel 7 is shared by the front and rear furniture, and the table plates are shared on both sides thereof. It is also possible to attach 9. In this case as well, a table plate 9 attached to both sides may be prepared as a dedicated product, or the front panel 7 may be shared and the table plate 9 may be attached to both sides of one front panel 7. good.

Although not shown in the figure, it is possible to place two pieces of furniture back to back. It is also possible to arrange them side by side in a posture of opening in the same direction. In each layout example, adjacent furniture may be connected to each other or simply arranged side by side.

When the chair portion 3 is formed in a plan view trapezoidal shape as in the present embodiment, there is an advantage that it is easy to sit and leave the seat regardless of whether the furniture is used alone or in parallel. In particular, when they are arranged facing each other as shown in FIG. 3 (A) or arranged in a zigzag shape as shown in FIGS.

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.

On the other hand, in the present embodiment , the seat has a width of about 1.5 times that of a normal chair, so that a person can enter and exit the side of the table plate 9 by moving the table plate to the right or left. You can make space. Further, in the initial state in which the support column 8 is not tilted backward, the table plate 9 and the seat 1 are separated from each other in the front-rear direction so that a person's foot can be inserted. Therefore, a person can sit and leave without having to flip up the table plate 9. Therefore, it is possible to stand or sit on the table board 9 with an article such as a notebook computer placed on it. Therefore, it is very easy to use.

Moreover, when the chair portion 3 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, there is a strong impression that the chair is easy to sit and leave and is easy to use. It is possible to project the side panels 4 and 5 in 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 panels 4 and 5 into a trapezoidal shape is more remarkable.

(3). Specific example of structure Next, the structure of each part will be described mainly with reference to FIG. Each of the panels 4 to 7 of the present embodiment has a hollow structure having an outer peripheral plate, an inner peripheral plate, and a top plate. The bottom plate may or may not be present. The outer peripheral plate and the top plate may be a wooden plate or a metal plate such as a steel plate. Resin molded products can also be used. In any case, it is preferable to put a skin material such as cloth on at least the surface that comes into contact with the human body. It is also possible to provide a cushion material on the upper surfaces of the side panels 4 and 5.

The seat 1 has a structure in which a cushion material 16 is stretched on a seat plate 15, and the cushion material 16 is covered with a skin material. As the seat plate 15, a wooden plate, a metal plate, a resin, or the like can be selected as needed. The seat plate 15 is supported (fixed) by stays 17 spanning the left and right side panels 4 and 5. The backrest 2 also has a structure in which the cushioning material 19 is stretched on the back plate 18, and the back plate 18 is fixed to the back panel 6. The cushion material 19 of the backrest 2 is also covered with a skin material. The left-right width of the chair portion 3 is set to be slightly wider than that of a normal chair. Therefore, it can be used in a relaxed state.

A bracket 20 is fixed to the upper end of the support column 8, and a table plate 9 is fixed to the bracket 20 with screws or the like. A horizontally long left and right rotating shaft 21 is fixed to the rearward facing portion 8b of the support column 8, and the rotating shaft 21 enters the inside of the front panel 7 via the collar 22. On the other hand, a bearing cylinder 23 in which the rotating shaft 21 is fitted is arranged inside the front panel 7, and the bearing cylinder 23 is fixed to the inner and outer plates of the front panel 7 (may be fixed to the bottom plate). .).

A slit 24 that opens upward is formed in the middle left and right of the bearing cylinder 23, and the movable friction plate 25 is fixed to the rotating shaft 21 at the slit 24. The left and right fixed friction plates 26 that sandwich the movable friction plate 25 are fixed to the bearing cylinder 23, and a friction material 27 having a large friction coefficient is attached to the fixed friction plate 26 and the movable friction plate 25. ing.

When a certain amount of pulling force or pushing force is applied to the table plate 9 from the front-rear direction, the table plate 9 can be rotated back and forth against the friction between the friction members 27. When the hand is released from the table plate 9, the table plate 9 is held in a state in which it does not rotate to the extent that the notebook computer is operated or writing work is performed.

As a means for holding the front-rear position (posture of the support column 8) of the table plate 9, various means such as arranging a friction plate or a coil spring between the collar 22 and the front panel 7 can be adopted. In the present embodiment, the front-rear position of the table plate 9 can be adjusted steplessly, but a stepwise adjustment method can also be adopted. It is also possible to provide the lever on the table plate 9 or the front panel 7 by adopting a locking means that can change the locked state and the unlocked state by operating the lever.

As a means for attaching the enclosure plates 1 1, 1 and 2, as shown in FIG. 4 (C), a downward foot body 30 is provided on a receiver 29 that sandwiches and holds the lower ends of the enclosure plates 1 1, 1 and 2, and the legs 30 are provided. The body 30 is fixed to the inside of the front panel 7 and fitted into the guide member 31. The foot body 30 may have a plate shape or a rod shape. The receiver 29 can also be fixed to the outer surface or the upper surface of the front panel 7 with screws or the like.

(4). Summary of the first embodiment In the present embodiment, the table plate 9 is attached to the front panel 7 protruding in front of the chair portion 3, so that the table plate 9 is a seat as shown in FIG. It is placed in front of 1. Therefore, a person can easily sit on and leave the chair portion 3 without changing the posture of the table plate 9. Therefore, it is easy to use.

In addition, since the seated person is surrounded on three sides by the chair portion enclosure plate 11, an environment is prepared in which the seated person has an appropriate degree of closure and can concentrate on the work. Moreover, since the front of the seated person is open, it also has openness (openness), making it easy for bosses and colleagues to talk to them (from the boss's point of view, the work status can be grasped. It is also excellent in manageability.) It can be said that the harmony between the closedness and the openness creates an environment in which concentration and stimulation can be harmonized and intellectual productivity can be enhanced.

Further, since the position of the table plate 9 can be adjusted back and forth, for example, the front and rear position of the table plate 9 is changed according to the inclination of the upper body of the seated person, so that the position is set so that a person can easily operate the notebook computer or the like. be able to.

Now, for example, when a seated person operates a laptop in an upright position, the person leans his head forward while keeping the laptop monitor in front of the vertical line (ie, that is). It is usually tilted (in the direction away from the seated person), and the monitor is often set in a posture in which the person's line of sight is generally perpendicular to the screen.

On the other hand, when the seated person tilts his / her body backward, the height of the head becomes lower and the position of the eyes becomes lower. Therefore, if the monitor is translated backward without changing the posture, the monitor is perpendicular to the screen. There is a risk that the visibility of characters and the like will deteriorate when viewed from below. In this respect, it can be said that the angle of the monitor should be changed according to the backward tilt of the body, but it is troublesome to adjust the angle by touching the monitor one by one.

On the other hand, in the present embodiment, when the table plate 9 is pulled toward the body in accordance with the backward tilt of the body, the table plate 9 tilts backward, so that the monitor of the notebook computer placed on the table plate 9 also with respect to the vertical line. The tilt angle is reduced, and thus the relationship between the monitor and the line of sight is automatically maintained in an appropriate state so that the person's line of sight is held in a position approximately orthogonal to the screen. Therefore, it is user-friendly. When the support column 8 is connected to the front panel 7 in the vicinity of the floor as in the embodiment, the rotation span of the support column becomes long so that the degree of the backward tilt angle of the body and the degree of the backward tilt angle of the support column 8 follow. It is particularly suitable because it is easy.

Further, since the rotation fulcrum of the support column 8 is located below the table plate 9, the height of the table plate 9 is not so low even if the support column 8 rotates. Therefore, a person can operate a notebook computer with his / her hands naturally extended. This point is also one of the great advantages of this embodiment.

In the present embodiment, the rear end of the rear facing portion 8b of the support column 8 is rotatably connected to the front panel, but as shown in FIG. 4A , the connecting portion of the support column 8 is the rear end portion of the table plate 9. It is located almost directly below. Then, as can be easily understood from FIG. 5A, when the table plate 9 is tilted backward, its front end moves once ascending and then descending. Therefore, when viewed as a whole of the table plate 9, the height tends to be tilted backward with almost no change, and therefore, the table plate can be tilted greatly backward without impairing the operability of the notebook computer.

It is also possible to extend the rear-facing portion 8b of the support column 8 further rearward than in the drawing and connect the rear end to the rear end portion of the front panel 7. In this case, the table plate 9 can be raised when tilting backward.

In order to position the rotation fulcrum of the support column 8 below the rear end portion of the table plate 9, the support column 8 does not need to be L-shaped. It may be a straight and vertical posture without having a horizontal portion at the lower end, or a straight and forward leaning posture. Contrary to the embodiment, it is also possible to form the support column in an L shape having a forward facing portion at the lower end of the base portion 8a and arrange the base portion 8a near the rear end of the table plate 9. Also in this case, the stability in the state where the base portion 8a is upright is improved. It is also possible to form the support column 8 into a plate shape having a large front-rear width (for example, to form a plate shape having about half the front-rear width of the table plate 9), and to connect the lower end of the rear end portion to the front panel 7. ..

It is also possible to attach the bracket 20 to the upper end of the support column 8 so as to be rotatable back and forth so that the table plate 9 can be adjusted to an arbitrary angle at an arbitrary front and rear position.

In this embodiment, since the upper part of the furniture is open and the enclosure plates 11 and 12 are translucent, the work can be performed with the floor lighting without dedicated lighting, but a brighter environment is desired. If this is the case, a lighting fixture may be provided separately. The lamp can be attached to the enclosures 1 1, 12 2. The shroud 1 1,1 2, it is also possible to provide a surface-emitting material such as an organic EL film.

Although not shown, it is possible to provide power outlets, charging USB ports for mobile phones, smartphones, tablet terminals, LAN ports, etc. on the side panels 4, 5 and front panels 7. .. 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 9.

For example, power outlets and the like can be provided symmetrically on the upper surface and side surfaces of the front panel 7 (the side surface below 9 of the table plate). Then, for example, in placing face to face two furniture as in FIG. 3 (A) (B), be arranged front panel 7 of one between the front and rear furniture, Who Tsu suited Igo Can take power from one front panel 7 or the like. That is, one front panel 7 can also be used as a power supply means for facing people.

By making the height of the front panel 7 somewhat higher than that of the side panels 4 and 5, the upper parts of the front and rear surfaces of the front panel 7 are exposed on the side panels 4 and 5, and the exposed front and rear surfaces are exposed. If an outlet, a LAN port, a USB port, etc. are provided, the outlet, the LAN port, etc. face the user side, so that the usability is further improved and the user is friendly, and the storage area of the article is not reduced. When one front panel 7 is shared by the front and rear furniture, it can be said that the table plates 9 are preferably arranged symmetrically in the front-rear direction.

If power supply means such as outlets are provided on the left and right sides of the front panel, as shown in FIGS. When the front panels 7 are arranged so as to be staggered, even if only one front panel 7 is arranged between the two furniture, one front panel 7 can be shared by the two furniture as a means such as power supply.

(4). Second Embodiment FIG. 5 (B) shows an example in which the chair portion 3 has a reclining structure (or a locking structure). In this embodiment, the seat 1 is supported by the front and rear longitudinal support rails 33 provided on the left and right side panels 4 and 5, but the seat 1 is divided into front and rear so as to bend around the hinge portion 34. The front portion 1a and the rear portion 1b are supported by the support rails 33 via the front and rear sliders 35 and 36, and the portion of the support rails 33 on which the front slider 35 is mounted is tilted forward. ing.

Therefore, when the seat 1 advances, the rear portion 1b advances without changing its posture, but the front portion 1a changes its posture downward and advances. Then, the lower end of the backrest 2 is connected to the rear end of the seat 1 by a hinge 37. Both the seat 1 and the backrest 2 have a structure in which a cushion is stretched on an inner shell made of resin or the like, and a hinge 34 is formed in the inner shell of the seat 1 by forming a slit or the like.

The sliders 35 and 36 are urged backward by a spring, and when the seater leans against the backrest 2, the backrest 2 tilts backward against the spring and the seat 1 advances. In this way, if the reclining structure is adopted for the chair portion 3, it can be said that it is easy to draw out excellent ideas because the operation of the notebook computer can be performed in a comfortable state. Since the seated person is surrounded by the enclosure plates 11 and 12, the seater can recline without worrying about the eyes. Therefore, it is also suitable for women.

Needless to say, various reclining structures can be adopted. When the seat 1 is configured to be bent, it is possible to adopt a configuration in which the front portion 1a moves forward without changing the posture and the rear portion 1b tilts backward. Of course, the seat 1 may simply move forward, or only the backrest 2 may tilt backward.

(5). Third to Sixth Embodiments FIG. 6A shows the third embodiment. In this embodiment, first, the support column 8 has a telescopic system in which the outer cylinder 38 and the inner member 39 are fitted to each other, the inner member 39 is connected to the front panel 7, and the table plate 9 is attached to the outer cylinder 38. Is fixed. There is an appropriate amount of friction between the outer cylinder 38 and the inner member 39, and the height of the table plate 9 can be adjusted by pushing and pulling with a certain amount of force. As long as it is in normal use, the table plate 9 will not slide down.

The lower end of the support column 8 is rotatably connected to the front panel 7, and the connecting portion is provided with an unlock button 40 that moves left and right in the direction of the rotation axis. When the unlock button 40 is pushed toward the front panel 7 with a foot, the lock is released and the table plate 9 can be rotated back and forth. When the foot is released from the unlock button 40, the support column 8 is held in its rotating posture. That is, when the lock release button 40 is pressed, the movable lock member and the fixed lock member are disengaged, and when the lock release button 40 is released, the movable lock member is pushed by the spring and meshes with the fixed lock member.

If the support column 8 is long, there is a concern that the table plate 9 is likely to be fluttered. Therefore, in this embodiment, the stability of the table plate 9 is also taken into consideration. That is, a guide groove 41 (or a guide means such as a guide body) having a radius of curvature centered on the rotation fulcrum of the support column 8 is provided on the upper inner surface of the front panel 7, and the guide groove 41 is provided at the upper end of the support column 8. A slider 42 that cannot be pulled out and is slidably fitted is provided. The outer cylinder 38 is fitted so as to be vertically movable with respect to the slider 42.

In the fourth embodiment shown in FIG. 6B, a guide groove 41 (or a guide body) curved downwardly is provided on the upper inner surface of the front panel 7, while a guide is provided on the bracket 20 to which the table plate 9 is fixed. A slider 42 that cannot be pulled out and fits freely in the groove 41 is attached. The guide groove is formed in an arc shape having a radius of curvature centered on the lower end portion of the front panel 7, but may be a straight line in a backward tilted posture.

In the fifth embodiment shown in FIG. 7A, a front and rear longitudinal guide groove 41 (or a guide body) is provided on the front panel 7, and the slider 42 cannot be pulled out and is slidably mounted on the guide groove 41. Moreover, the bracket 20 is attached to the slider 42 so as to be rotatable back and forth, and the table plate 9 is fixed to the bracket 20. Therefore, the front-rear position of the table plate 9 can be adjusted, and the angle can be arbitrarily adjusted at any of the front-rear positions.

In the sixth embodiment shown in FIG. 7B, when the bracket 20 is attached to the upper end of the front-rear rotating support column 8 as in the first embodiment, the table plate 9 is attached to the bracket 20 and the front panel is attached to the bracket 20. It is attached so that it can be flipped up to the side of 7. In this embodiment, since the front side of the chair portion 3 can be greatly opened, it is easy for people to come and go.

(6). Seventh Embodiment In the first embodiment, the side panels 4 and 5 and the front panel 7 are formed in a hollow structure having an inner plate and an outer plate, but the seventh embodiment shown in FIG. In the form, the side panels 4 and 5 and the front panel 7 are formed in a bag structure in which the inner plate is not provided and the top plate is provided at the upper end of the outer plate. The front panel 7 is provided with a front plate 7a in order to improve stability.

In this embodiment, since the insides of the side panels 4 and 5 and the front panel 7 can be used as a place for loading luggage, there is an advantage that the storability of articles is improved. The seat 1 extends to the outer plates of the left and right side panels 4 and 5. Therefore, luggage such as bags and documents, or clothes such as coats can be placed on the seat 1.

In this embodiment as well, the chair portion 3 can have a reclining structure, but in this case, the entire seat 1 can be movably configured, and as shown by the alternate long and short dash line, it corresponds to the backrest 2. It is also possible to make only the part movable. When only the portion corresponding to the backrest 2 is movable, the seat 1 is naturally divided into three parts on the left and right.

In the seventh embodiment, the table plate 9 is attached to the upper end of the front-rear rotating support column 8 via the bracket 20 and the spacer 44. The support column 8 has a plate-like shape, and a pin 45 is rotatably connected to the inner surface of the outer plate of the front panel 7. Since the bracket 30 is embedded in the front panel 7, the table plate 9 is fixed to the bracket 20 via the spacer 44.

Then, a wide portion 8c is provided at the upper end portion of the support column 8, and a guide groove 46 having a radius of curvature centered on the pin 45 is formed in the wide portion, while the support column 8 is formed on the outer plate of the front panel 7 in a side view. A reinforcing plate 47 that overlaps with the wide portion 8c of the above is fixed, and a guide pin 48 that fits into the guide groove 46 so as not to come off is attached to the reinforcing plate 47. A friction ring 49 located between the support column 8 and the reinforcing plate 47 is fitted into the guide pin 48. Therefore, the front-rear position and the posture of the table plate 9 are maintained by the frictional force of the friction ring 49.

(7). 8th to 11th Embodiments FIG. 9A shows the 8th embodiment. In this embodiment, the side panels 4 and 5 and the front panel 7 are configured in a bag shape as in FIG. 8, but in the left side panel 4, the upward inner plate is cut off above the seat 1 and the seat is seated. An article storage portion 50 having an upward opening is formed below 1.

As shown by the alternate long and short dash line, it is also possible to cut the rear part of the top plate of the side panels 4 and 5 inward. The table plate 9 can be moved back and forth by the same means as in the case of FIG. In this case, as shown by the alternate long and short dash line, the table plate 9 may be configured so that it can be flipped up and rotated toward the front panel 7. In FIGS. 8 and 9, the enclosure plates 11 and 12 are omitted.

The ninth embodiment shown in FIG. 9B is a modification of the embodiment shown in FIG. The difference from the embodiment shown in FIG. 8 is that the table plate 9 is set to a height that allows it to enter the inside of the front panel 7, and is slidably attached to the bracket 20 by a guide means 51 such as a linear rail. It is a point.

FIG. 10A shows a tenth embodiment. In this embodiment, first, the side panels 4 and 5 and the back panel 6 have a two-layer structure of inner layers 4 ′, 5 ′, 6 ′ and outer layers 4 ″, 5 ″, 6 ″, respectively. The outer layers 4 ″ and 5 ″ of 4 and 5 are formed with open incisions for listening to sound in the foreground and above, and a blindfold plate 52 such as a resin plate is attached to the incisions in the incisions. The outer layer is high enough to surround the seated person, but is made of an opaque plate.

In this embodiment, the wall plate 53 is slidably mounted on the outer surface of one side panel 4, and the front panel 54 is projected forward of the side panels 4 and 5 to form the front panel 7. There is. In the figure, the table plate 9 is attached to the front panel 7 so as to be able to move back and forth via the support column 8 by retrofitting. It is also possible to configure the 7 so that it can be pulled out toward you and then tilted in a horizontal position.

Alternatively, the table plate can be detached from the front panel 7 by combining the engaging holes and the engaging claws so that the table plate is separated from the front panel 7. Further, it is also possible to fold the upper part of the front panel 7 so as to tilt inward so that a part of the front panel can be used as a table plate.

The wall plate 53 has the same height as the side panels 4 and 5, but if it is set to the same height as the inner layers 4'and 5'of the side panels 4 and 5, the openness becomes high. In this case, the posture of the table plate 9 on the front panel 7 at the front of the wall plate 53 can be freely changed between a folded hanging state in which the table plate 9 overlaps the outer surface of the front panel 7 and a horizontal flip-up posture located on the front side of the seat 1. It can also be attached to.

In this embodiment and other embodiments, the table plate 9 can be horizontally rotatably connected to the upper end of the support column 8 or the like if conditions permit.

FIG. 10B shows the eleventh embodiment. In this embodiment, the side panels 4 and 5 and the front panel 7 are configured in a bag structure, and on the side where the table plate 9 is not attached, an article having an upward opening in the side panel 4 as in FIG. 9A. The storage portion 50 is formed. Further, as a feature of this embodiment, the front half of the side panel 4 to which the table plate 9 is not attached is cut off above the seat 1. Therefore, a person can easily enter and exit the furniture from the side.

Further, in the present embodiment, the table plate 9 is attached to the slide frame 54 having the legs 54a, but the slide frame 54 is attached to the front panel 7 so as to be movable back and forth. Since the foot 54a of the slide frame 54 is provided with casters 55 such as a roller type, the table plate 9 can be moved back and forth in a stable state.

Further, in this embodiment, the table plate 9 is rotatably attached to the horizontal portion of the slide frame 54. Therefore, the side view posture can be arbitrarily adjusted at an arbitrary front-rear position. The foot 54a of the slide frame 54 projects to the front side of the left side panel 4 located on the opposite side of the front panel 7, but since the left side panel 4 is largely cut off, a person can easily enter the furniture. You can easily go in and out. The foot 54a of the slide frame 54 does not interfere with the human foot while the seated person is working.

(8). 12th to 13th embodiments (FIGS. 11 to 12)
In the twelfth embodiment shown in FIG. 12, the chair portion 3 is a sofa type or a bench type independent of the side panel 5, and includes legs 57 separated to the left and right. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the right side panel 5 is arranged on the right side of the chair portion 3, and the front panel 7 is integrally provided at the front end of the side panel 5. Therefore, the side panel 5 has an integral structure with the front panel 7, and the upper surfaces of both are composed of one upper plate.

A front curtain plate 58 located in front of the seated person in the left-right longitudinal direction is integrally provided at the front end of the side panel 5, whereby the panels 5 and 7 and the front curtain plate 58 are made independent. Further, a bottom plate 59 which is connected to the front curtain plate 58 and the front panel 7 and is installed on the floor is also provided. Due to the presence of the bottom plate 59, the stability of the panels 5 and 7 and the front curtain plate 58 is remarkably improved, and the structure is sturdy as a whole. The upper surface of the front curtain plate 58 is slightly inclined with respect to the horizontal so as to become lower as the distance from the front panel 7 increases, but it may be formed horizontally. Further, the front curtain plate 58 may be higher than the table plate 9.

The table plate 9 is attached to the front panel 7 via a plate-shaped rotary support column 8. The support column 8 can be rotated back and forth by the same means as in the first embodiment, and the movement of the table plate 9 is the same as in the first embodiment. As is clearly shown in FIG. 12B, the upper end of the front curtain plate 58 is located slightly in front of the front end of the table plate 9, but the front and rear positions of both may be aligned.

In the present embodiment, the panels 5 and 7, the front curtain plate 58, and the bottom plate 59 form a frame-shaped structure 60 that surrounds the seated person from the right and front and to which the table plate 9 is attached. The furniture is a combination of the body 60 and the independent chair section (chair) 3. Therefore, various combinations can be provided by selecting various chair portions. The aspect in which the chair portion 3 (chair) is separated in this way is also included in the present invention.

The side panel 5 and the front panel 7 have a width of, for example, about 20 cm, and the seated person can rest his elbows on them. In addition, writing work can be performed on the upper plate, and terminals such as smartphones can be operated. Of course, cups, bottles, lunch boxes, etc. can also be placed. As shown by the alternate long and short dash line in FIG. 1, the hollow portion 61 (article storage portion) can be formed in the side panel 5 even in the conventional embodiment such as the first embodiment. The cavity 61 can also be formed on the front panel 7.

The side panel 5 is formed with a hollow portion 61 that opens toward the chair portion 3. Therefore, bags, documents, and the like can be stored in the cavity 61. A square hole 62 is formed in the front surface of the cavity 61, and a panel equipped with an outlet, a USB port, or the like can be attached to the hole 62. Therefore, it is convenient for charging smartphones and mobile phones. Luggage such as a bag can be placed on the bottom plate 59, but the luggage is hidden by the front curtain plate 58, which is very convenient.

The thirteenth embodiment shown in FIG. 12 is basically the same as the twelfth embodiment, and the only difference is that the legs 57 of the chair portion 3 have a box shape. In the layout example shown in FIG. 12B, when furniture is arranged side by side, the front end of the chair portion 3 of the furniture adjacent to the right is arranged so as to be aligned with the front end of the front panel 7 of the furniture adjacent to the left. Therefore, a large number of furniture are arranged side by side while shifting their front-back positions.

Therefore, the furniture next to it (next to the left) does not get in the way when entering and exiting the furniture. In addition, since the furniture adjacent to the left and right is shifted back and forth, the distance between people is appropriate and the work can be concentrated. It is also possible to provide a blindfold enclosure on the outer edges of the panels 5 and 7, as in the previous embodiment.

(9). 14th and 15th embodiments (FIGS. 13 to 15)
Similarly to the thirteenth embodiment, the fourteenth embodiment shown in FIGS. 13 and 14 also includes a frame-shaped structure 60 and a chair portion 3 that are independent of each other. The chair portion 3 is a sofa type having box-shaped legs 57. The frame-shaped structure 60 has a side panel 5 and a front panel 7 which are integrally connected, and a front curtain plate 58 and a bottom plate 59, and the front curtain plate 58 is gently curved forward in a protruding shape in a side view. doing.

On the bottom plate 59, a foot support 62 having an inclined surface on which the soles of the feet of the side panel 5 are applied is arranged. The foot support 62 may be fixed to the bottom plate 59 or may be simply placed.
