Abstract

PURPOSE:To offer a recessed foot-warmer which obviates the need of removing and handling works of a cover. CONSTITUTION:An openable split cover 2 is divided into two or more segments and attached on the perimeter of an opening of the body 8 of a recessed foot- warmer 1 by hinges 4. Cushions 3 are attached on the rear face of the split cover 3, and the split cover 2 is supported by a low table 7 when the low table 7 is housed inside the body 5 of a recessed foot-warmer 1 and the split cover 2 is closed. As the cushions 3 are provided on the rear face of the cover 2, the cushions 3 can be also used as seats only by opening the cover 2 when the low table 7 is used. Therefore, the need of such a troublesome work to stow the cover 2 separately is obviated.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention This invention relates to a kotatsu that is installed by opening the floor of a room or the like.

0002

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional horigotatsu 101 is shown in FIG. A low table 107 is housed inside the main body 108 of the sunken kotatsu 101, and an opening 105 provided in the floor 106 is closed with a lid 102.

[Problem to be solved by the invention] Conventional horigotatsu 10
1, the lid 10 is used when storing the low table 107.
2 is made of a separate material, and is stored separately when the low table 107 is in use. Therefore, when using the device, it is necessary to remove the lid 102 and carry it around. An object of the present invention is to provide a horigotatsu that does not require removal of the lid or transportation.

0004

[Means for solving the problem] The horigotatsu of this invention is
A split lid divided into a plurality of pieces is attached to the periphery of the opening of the horigotatsu body using a hinge so that it can be opened and closed. A cushion is provided on the back side of each split lid, and the split lid in a closed state is supported by a low table housed within the main body of the kotatsu.

Embodiment A first embodiment of the present invention will be described based on FIGS. 1 and 3. As shown in FIG. 1, the sunken kotatsu 1 of this embodiment has a split lid 2, which is divided into a plurality of pieces, attached to the periphery of the opening of the main body 8 by a hinge 4 so as to be openable and closable. A cushion 3 is provided on the back surface of each divided lid 2, and the divided lid 2 in a closed state (shown by imaginary lines) is supported by a low table 7 housed inside 5 of the main body 8 of the kotatsu 1. Since the split lid 2 is in contact with the low table 7 via the cushion 3, the upper surface of the low table 7 will not be damaged even if a person, luggage, etc. get on it. Also,
When fully opened, the split lid 2 (indicated by a solid line) falls onto the floor 6 with the cushion 3 facing upward, so that the user can comfortably sit on it. In this way, the split lid 2 also serves as a seat, and there is no need to store it separately when the seat is used. Therefore, there is no need to remove or carry the split lid 2 itself.

Note that the split lid 2 has two parts as shown in FIG. 3(a).
It may be divided or may be divided into four as shown in FIG. 3(b). Next, a second embodiment will be described based on FIG. 2. The split lid 20 consists of a backrest 2b covered with a cushion 30, a plate material 2a with the cushion 30 provided on the back surface, and a hinge 4 provided to connect these parts. When fully opened, the split lid 20 (indicated by solid lines) falls onto the floor 6 with the cushion 30 facing upward, fixing the backrest 2b at an appropriate angle. When the opening is closed using the split lid 20 (as shown by imaginary lines), the lids are folded in half at the hinge 4 and supported by the low table 7 in an overlapping state. The hinge 4a has one end fixed to the plate material 2a, but the other end is removable as necessary. Therefore, the split lid 20 can be used independently as a seat.

The rest of the configuration is the same as in FIG.

[0008]

[Effects of the Invention] The horigotatsu of this invention has a structure in which a cushion is provided on the back of the split lid used for storage, so when using it as a low table, you can simply open the split lid outward and use it as a seat. can do. Therefore, there is no need to separately store it.
