Description

The present invention relates to a booth having an interior space defined by side walls.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in offices, exhibition halls, public facilities, etc., there are cases where booths are installed for performing work, meetings, and the like. In particular, in recent years, offices have become free-address and mobile work utilizing ICT (information and communication technology) such as mobile terminals and personal computers has been progressing. Therefore, there are increasing opportunities for one or two people to work or have meetings at various destinations using small booths. It can also be used as a small office.

As an example of such a booth, for example, a booth device described in Patent Literature 1 has been proposed. This booth apparatus has a desk, a monitor, and the like installed in an internal space partitioned by a peripheral wall in an office, an exhibition hall, or the like, so that one user can work alone by sitting on a chair.
Since this booth device is intended for one person to perform concentrated work, a one-person booth has been proposed. A two-person booth is also proposed for meetings, meetings, training, and the like. In this booth apparatus, a doorway is provided in one wall constituting a peripheral wall, and a horizontally rotating or sliding door is arranged.

JP 2014-37671 A

However, the booth device described in Patent Document 1 described above is installed in offices, public facilities, etc., so there are many passers-by, and the horizontally rotating (open door) door that opens to the outside comes into contact with passers-by. I was afraid. On the other hand, with the horizontal revolving door that opens inward, there is a problem that the installation position of fixtures such as chairs and desks inside the booth is limited, limiting the utility value of the small space of the booth. .
In addition, when a sliding door is installed, a space twice the width of the door is required between the closed position and the open position of the sliding door. There is a problem that it is easy to come into contact with equipment and the like.

The present invention has been made in view of such problems, and provides a booth in which an openable/closable door does not interfere with outside people and equipment, and interference can be suppressed without downsizing fixtures installed inside. for the purpose.

The booth according to the present invention comprises a side wall that defines an interior space, a folding door that is installed on the side wall and folds open into the interior space, and a notch that is installed in the interior space and is capable of receiving the opened folding door. and a fixture provided.
According to the present invention, when the folding door of the booth is opened into the internal space, the folding door can be folded and stored in the notch of the fixture, so a large folding door can be installed without downsizing the fixture installed in the internal space. It can be opened and closed by pressing and does not interfere with the user's work.

Moreover, it is preferable that the furniture is a table and the notch is provided on the side wall side on which the folding door is provided.
When the folding door is opened, it can be stored while being folded in the notch provided on the side of the folding door of the table, so that the notch as a storage space can be made smaller without reducing the size of the table, and the folding door can also be folded into a small size. .

Also, the table is preferably connected to a second side wall adjacent to the first side wall provided with the folding door, and to a third side wall facing the first side wall and/or the first side wall. .
Even if the table is provided with a notch for accommodating the folding door, at least one of the second side wall adjacent to the folding door and the first side wall provided with the folding door and the third side wall facing thereto Since the table can be fixed to the side wall, the holding strength of the table is large and the length of the table can be increased.

Alternatively, a chair having a seat and a backrest may be provided as furniture facing the table, and the chair may be provided with a relief portion for preventing interference with the folding door that opens and closes.
Since the relief part is provided on the seat part side of the chair provided with the backrest and the seat part, it is possible to prevent interference with the opening/closing folding door. In addition, a small table or the like for placing articles can be installed in a portion adjacent to the relief portion of the chair, which can be used effectively.

Further, the furniture may be a chair having a seat and a backrest, and the chair may be provided with a notch for accommodating a folding door that opens.
When the folding door of the booth opens into the interior space, it can be folded and stored in the notch provided in the seat of the chair, so a large folding door can be installed without downsizing the chair installed in the interior space. to open and close without interfering with the user's work.

According to the booth according to the present invention, when the folding door of the booth is opened to the internal space side, the folding door can be stored in the notch of the fixture while being folded. It can be installed and opened and closed.

Adjacent two struts 2A, 2B, 2C, 2D and beams 3A, 3B, 3C, 3D therebetween are connected to each other by side plates 4A to 4D.

The side walls 4A to 4D can be made of any suitable material, but in this embodiment, for example, the side wall 4A is the front side wall 4A, and the opposing side wall 4C is the back side wall 4C made of opaque resin, steel, or wooden board. ing. The side walls 4B and 4D on both sides of the rear side wall 4C are made of glass, for example. The front side wall 4A has a first wall surface 4a and a second wall surface 4b made of, for example, glass on both sides, and a folding door 6 made of glass, for example, is installed as a door for opening and closing the entrance 5 of the central opening. there is The folding door 6 is provided by connecting a first door portion 6a and a second door portion 6b so as to be foldable.

The folding door 6 closes the entrance 5 when the first door portion 6a and the second door portion 6b are extended, and when opened, the first door portion 6a and the second door portion 6a are connected to the first wall surface 4a at the connection portion with the second door portion 6b. The door portion 6b is folded and doubled at a position orthogonal to the first wall surface 4a. The first door portion 6a and the second door portion 6b are formed to have substantially the same width. A handle 7 for opening and closing is attached to the second door portion 6b. An open ceiling made up of rectangular frame-shaped beams 3A, 3B, 3C, and 3D is formed above the side walls 4A, 4B, 4C, and 4D.

The booth 1 has a substantially rectangular parallelepiped or cubic internal space 8 partitioned by four side walls 4A to 4D. A table 10 is installed on the side wall 4B in the internal space 8, and the long side portion 10a of the table 10 is fixed to the side wall 4B with an adhesive or the like. Side portions 10b and 10c at both longitudinal ends of the table 10 are also fixed to the rear side wall 4C and the first wall surface 4a of the front side wall 4A with an adhesive or the like. In particular, the remaining side portion 10c of the table 10 with the cutout 11 is fixed to the first wall surface 4a.
Therefore, the table 10 is fixed on three sides, the side wall 4B, the rear side wall 4C, and the first wall surface 4a of the front side wall 4A. may be fixed. Alternatively, the table 10 may be fixedly supported by the side wall 4B by providing a bracket on its lower side without being fixed to the side walls 4A to 4C, or the table 10 may be provided with legs on its lower side.

As shown in FIG. 2, the table 10 is formed in the shape of a substantially rectangular plate in plan view, and the corners covering the doorway 5 side form substantially rectangular cutouts 11 .
