Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to kotatsu peripheral furniture suitable for use in combination with a yagura kotatsu.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, storage furniture for storing and placing books, stationery, audio equipment, and other hobby items, and the Yagura Kotatsu have been designed and manufactured separately as completely unrelated. However,
Generally, the storage furniture is placed along the wall of the room, and the kotatsu is placed in the center of the room.

[Problems that the invention aims to solve] Incidentally, although the original form of the Yagura Kotatsu is to be used by multiple people, it is often used exclusively by one person for purposes such as learning. When using a Yagura Kotatsu exclusively for one person in this way, it is desirable that books and other necessary items are stored within the reach of the user of the Kotatsu. However, storage furniture for storing books and other items is box-shaped, as is well known, and is designed to be placed completely unrelated to the Yagura Kotatsu. Therefore, it is difficult to arrange the furniture in such a way that books and other items can be taken in and out of the Yagura Kotatsu while still inside the Yagura Kotatsu. In some cases, this may lead to problems such as having to twist the body considerably.

One possible solution to this problem is, for example, to make portal-shaped furniture so that a kotatsu can be inserted into the space underneath. However, the structure of gate-shaped furniture is usually one-piece, which is completely assembled in a factory and cannot be disassembled, or a leg-supported type, in which both ends of the bottom of a box-shaped furniture element are supported by legs. Alternatively, the upper halves of the left and right side plates may be connected by a shelf board, and the like may be used.

However, all of these methods have the following problems. First, the monolithic structure of
It is bulky relative to its storage capacity, making it difficult to store and transport in warehouses. Further, in the case of the leg support type, since the upper end surface of the leg is attached to the lower surface of the furniture element, it is difficult to secure a large contact area between the two, and there is a problem in the strength of attaching the leg. Furthermore, in the above and the above, it is difficult to change the opening size of the space for inserting the Yagura Kotatsu unless the design is changed. Yagura kotatsu does not have a uniform standard height, and due to factors such as how the futon is used, the height of the top plate is not necessarily constant. Therefore, it is desirable for this type of kotatsu surrounding furniture to be available in several different height dimensions, or to allow the user to change the height.
It is difficult to meet such demands. On the other hand, with the above-mentioned shelf-board connected type, the height dimension of the kotatsu storage space can be changed by changing the connecting position of the shelf boards. If it is only connected so that it can be disassembled,
There is a problem in that it becomes difficult to ensure overall rigidity.

The present invention aims to solve these problems.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above objectives, the present invention employs the following configuration.

That is, the kotatsu peripheral furniture according to the present invention is formed into a gate shape by installing a horizontally long furniture element between vertically long furniture elements having an opening/closing operation part near the center of the furniture, and wherein the horizontally long furniture element The opening dimension of the space formed between both vertically elongated furniture elements is set to a value that allows the insertion of a yagura kotatsu with a futon and a top board placed on it, and the depth dimension of the space is determined as the depth dimension of the yagura kotatsu. It is set to less than half of that. The horizontally long furniture element is made into a box-shaped box having a top plate, a bottom plate, left and right side plates, and a back plate and is open only at the front, and the inner side plate of each of the vertically long furniture elements is used as the side plate of the horizontally long furniture element. It is characterized in that the upper end portion of the vertically elongated furniture element is screwed to the outer surface of the side plate in such a way that it extends above the top plate.

[Function] With this configuration, one half of the tower kotatsu with a top plate and a futon placed on it can be inserted into the space formed below the horizontally long furniture element. Since the depth of this furniture is set to be less than half of the depth of the yagura kotatsu, at least the front half of the inserted yagura kotatsu will protrude outside. Therefore, the protruding part can be used as a desk. With this arrangement, the vertically long furniture elements and the horizontally long furniture elements are located within easy reach while still inside the Yagura Kotatsu.
It becomes possible to take books and other items in and out without twisting the body or coming out of the kotatsu. In particular, since the opening/closing operation parts for the vertically long furniture elements located on both the left and right sides are provided closer to the center of the furniture, changes in posture can be kept to a minimum when opening/closing these vertically long furniture elements.

Furthermore, by inserting one half of the Yagura Kotatsu into the space in this way, the occupied area becomes smaller than when the Yagura Kotatsu of the storage furniture is arranged independently.

In addition, when the Yagura Kotatsu is pulled out from the space,
If placed in the center of the room, it can be used by multiple people as usual.

Further, since the kotatsu peripheral furniture of the present invention has a vertically long furniture element fixed to the side surface of the horizontally long furniture element with screws, the vertically long furniture element can be attached to and removed from the horizontally long furniture element. Therefore, it can be stored in a warehouse or transported in a state where it is disassembled into a horizontally long furniture element and a vertically long furniture element. Moreover, with such a configuration, the opening size of the space can be changed simply by changing the screwing positions of the vertically long furniture element and the horizontally long furniture element in the vertical direction. Therefore, products with various specifications can be provided extremely easily. Also, as long as the screw insertion holes are provided in multiple stages,
It also becomes possible for the user to change the screwing positions between the vertically long furniture element and the horizontally long furniture element as appropriate. Furthermore, the horizontally elongated furniture element is different from a simple shelf board, and has a box shape that is open only at the front and includes a top plate, a bottom plate, left and right side plates, and a back plate. Therefore, if the side plate of the vertically long furniture element is fixed to the outer surface of the side plate of this horizontally long furniture element, the left and right vertically long furniture elements will be
They will be connected by a box-shaped horizontally elongated furniture element that is structurally difficult to deform. Furthermore, since the side plates of the vertically elongated furniture element and the side plates of the laterally elongated furniture element are fixed with screws with their surfaces in contact with each other, rattling or the like is less likely to occur at the screwed parts. Therefore, even though disassembly is possible, the overall rigidity can be reasonably and effectively increased.

In addition, since the upper end portion of the vertically long furniture element extends above the top plate, the extending portion functions as a bookend, and objects placed on the horizontally long furniture element are moved sideways. It can prevent you from falling. Therefore, it is possible to place tall books, audio equipment, etc. that cannot fit inside the furniture element, and effectively utilize the top plate of the horizontally long furniture element.

[Embodiment] An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

This kotatsu peripheral furniture is formed into a gate shape by constructing a horizontally long furniture element 3 between vertically long furniture elements 1 and 2.
