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 a yagura kotatsu is for multiple people to surround it and use it, it is not uncommon for it to be used exclusively by one person for purposes such as learning. When using a Yagura Kotatsu for one person in this way, it is desirable that books and other necessary items be 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 so that books and other items can be put in and taken out while still inside the Yagura Kotatsu, and even if this type of storage furniture and the Yagura Kotatsu are placed close together, Space is required to place furniture. Moreover, when taking books or other items in and out, the user must twist his or her body considerably, which causes problems.

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 type, it is possible to change the height of the kotatsu storage space by changing the connection position of the shelf board, but it is possible to change the height dimension of the kotatsu storage space by changing the shelf board connection position. In the case of large objects connected in a way that 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 connecting legs at both ends of a horizontally long furniture element, and is positioned below the horizontally long furniture element and between the legs. The opening dimension of the space formed in the space is set to a value that allows insertion of a tower kotatsu with a futon and a top plate placed on it, and the depth dimension is set to less than half the depth of the tower kotatsu. The horizontally elongated furniture element is made into a box-like piece having a top plate, a bottom plate, left and right side plates, and a back plate and opened only at the front, and both legs are made into plate-like pieces, and the legs The furniture element is characterized by being screwed to the outer surface of the side plate of the horizontally elongated furniture element, with the upper end portion extending 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 oblong furniture elements are within easy reach while still inside the Yagura Kotatsu, so you don't have to twist your body or twist to get out of the Yagura Kotatsu. It is possible to do it without.

Furthermore, the horizontally long furniture element is located above the top plate, which is less than half of the kotatsu tower, and the legs that support the horizontally long furniture element do not require much space, so the space in the room is secured.

Also, pull out the Yagura Kotatsu from the space,
If placed in the center of the room, it can be used by multiple people.

Furthermore, since the kotatsu peripheral furniture of the present invention has plate-shaped legs fixed to the side surfaces of the horizontally long furniture elements with screws, the legs can be attached to and removed from the horizontally long furniture elements. Therefore, it can be stored in a warehouse or transported in a state where it is disassembled into the horizontally long furniture element and the plate-shaped legs. Moreover, with such a configuration, the opening size of the space can be changed simply by changing the screw fixing position of the leg part in the vertical direction. Therefore, products with various specifications can be provided extremely easily. Further, as long as the screw insertion holes are provided in multiple stages, the user can change the screw fixing position of the leg portion 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 legs are fixed to the outer surface of the side panels of this oblong furniture element, the left and right legs will
They will be connected by box-shaped horizontally elongated furniture elements that are structurally difficult to deform. Moreover, since the plate-like leg portion and the side plate of the oblong 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 screw-fastened portion. Therefore, although disassembly is possible, the overall rigidity can be reasonably and effectively increased.

[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 connecting legs 2 and 3 to both ends of an oblong furniture element 1.

The horizontally long furniture element 1 is in the shape of a horizontally long box having a top plate 4, a bottom plate 5, left and right side plates 6, 7, and a back plate 8, and a partition plate 9 and a shelf board 10 are provided inside the horizontally long furniture element 1. A sliding door 11 made of glass is provided in the front opening thereof so that it can be opened and closed.

The legs 2 and 3 are plate-shaped and are fixed to the outer surfaces of the side plates 2 and 3 of the horizontally long furniture element 1 using screws, and casters 12 and 13 are provided at the lower ends thereof. The upper end portions of both legs 2 and 3 are extended above the top plate 4 of the horizontally long furniture element 1, and between the extended end portions are a partition plate 14 and a back that constitute a book stand. A plate 15 is provided.

The opening dimension of the space A between the legs 2 and 3 located below the horizontally long furniture element 1 is
Yagura kotatsu 1 with 6a and top plate 16b placed on it
6 is set as a value that can be inserted. Specifically, for example, the opening width S, which is the distance between the legs 2 and 3, is
The height H from the floor surface 17 to the lower surface of the bottom plate 5 of the oblong furniture element 1 is set to 520 mm. Then, from the front of the horizontally long furniture element 1 to the back plate 8
The depth L to the rear surface of the kotatsu 16 is set to a value (284 mm) that is less than half the depth of the kotatsu 16.

According to such a configuration, the depth L of the space A formed below the horizontally long furniture element 1 is set to be less than half the depth of the Yagura Kotatsu 16, and the Yagura Kotatsu 16 is placed in this space A. When one half is inserted, the front side portion of the tower kotatsu 16 will protrude from the front surface of the horizontally long furniture element 1.
As a result, the protruding portion of the top plate 16b of the tower kotatsu 16 can be used as a desk. Further, the dimension from the floor surface 17 to the upper end of the horizontally long furniture element 1 (1020 mm) and the longest width (1200 mm) are set within the reach of the user when sitting in the tower kotatsu 16. Therefore, kotatsu users
It becomes possible to easily take in and out books placed on various parts of the oblong furniture element 1 located in front without twisting the body.

Moreover, the horizontally long furniture element 1 is a tower kotatsu 16
This horizontally elongated furniture element 1
Since the space occupied by both leg parts 2 and 3 supporting the tower is small on both sides of the tower kotatsu 16, the space in the room can be secured without taking up double space between the furniture surrounding the kotatsu and the tower kotatsu 16.

Furthermore, by pulling out the kotatsu 16 from the space A, it becomes possible for multiple people to use the kotatsu 16.

Furthermore, since this kotatsu peripheral furniture has plate-shaped legs 2 and 3 screwed to the side of the horizontally long furniture element 1, the legs 2 and 3 can be attached to and removed from the horizontally long furniture element 1. becomes. Therefore, it can be stored in a warehouse or transported in a state where it is disassembled into the horizontally long furniture element 1 and the plate-shaped legs 2 and 3.
Since the horizontally elongated furniture element 1 and the legs 2 and 3 have substantially the same depth dimension, the furniture becomes very compact in the disassembled state. Furthermore, with such a configuration, the height H of the space A can be changed simply by changing the screw fixing positions of the legs 2 and 3 in the vertical direction. Therefore, products with various specifications can be prepared very easily. Also,
As long as the screw insertion holes are provided in multiple stages, it becomes possible for the user to change the screw fixing positions of the legs 2 and 3 as appropriate. Furthermore, the horizontally elongated furniture element 1 has a box shape that is open only at the front, as described above. Therefore, this oblong furniture element 1
If the legs 2 and 3 are fixed to the outer surfaces of the side plates 6 and 7,
The left and right legs 2 and 3 are connected by a box-shaped oblong furniture element 1 that is structurally difficult to deform. Furthermore, since the plate-shaped legs 2 and 3 and the side plates 6 and 7 of the oblong furniture element 1 are fixed with screws with their surfaces in contact with each other, rattling or the like is less likely to occur at the screw-fastened portions. Therefore, even though disassembly is possible, the overall rigidity can be reasonably and effectively increased.

Further, the upper end portions of the legs 2 and 3 are connected to the top plate 4.
Since it extends upwardly, the extending portion functions as a bookend, and it is possible to prevent objects placed on the top plate 4 from falling to the side. Therefore, tall books, audio equipment, etc. that cannot fit inside the horizontally long furniture element 1 can be placed on the top plate 4, and the space above the horizontally long furniture element 1 can be used effectively.

In addition, as in this embodiment, a back plate 15 is provided on the top plate 4.
If this is provided, it will be particularly easy to use when placing books or the like on the top plate 4.

[Effect of the invention] In the present invention, legs are connected to both ends of the horizontally long furniture element, and one half of the tower kotatsu can be inserted into the space between the legs located below the horizontally long furniture element. This allows you to easily take books and other stored items in and out, and perform various operations while sitting in the Yagura Kotatsu without having to change your posture. It is possible to provide furniture around a kotatsu that is easy to use and that is hardly required.

Furthermore, according to the configuration of the present invention, the horizontally elongated furniture element and the legs can be disassembled and assembled.
Storage and transportation in warehouses becomes easier. Moreover, the height of the space into which the Yagura Kotatsu is to be inserted can be changed simply by changing the position of the screws on the legs in the vertical direction, making it extremely easy to provide products with various specifications. Also, it is not difficult to enable changes on the user side. Furthermore, the left and right legs are connected by a box-shaped oblong furniture element that is difficult to deform structurally.
Since the legs and the horizontally long furniture element are in surface contact and fixed with screws, it is possible to easily and effectively increase the overall rigidity, although disassembly is possible.
