Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide general-purpose collapsible furniture allowing free reassembly by using a cylindrical box body of the prescribed shape and strength alone or using a plurality thereof for jointing the sides of reference sizes to each other CONSTITUTION:Box bodies 1a have cubic shape with the length of all three sides determining a rectangular parallelopiped, set to a reference size, and the length of two sides of box bodies 1b is set to a reference size as well. Then, a plurality of box bodies 1a and 1b, and a plate body 4 are used to assemble a desk B. In other words, the box bodies 1b are stacked on the box bodies la with respective open sections 3 laid at a front in a depthwise direction. In addition, the box bodies lb are stacked on and jointed to the box bodies 1a with the open sections 3 laterally laid at the back, thereby forming leg sections B1. A plate body 4 is placed on the leg sections B1 to form a top plate B2. In this case, the leg sections B1 have the front side box bodies 1a and 1b with the open sections 3 in front, and the rear sides closed with the side plates 2 of the bodies 1a and 1b at the rear side. Also, both of the open sections 3 of the rear side bodies 1a and 1b are orientated in a lateral direction.

The present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 shows a typical embodiment of a box body according to the basic configuration of the assembled furniture of the present invention.

The box body 1 has a rectangular parallelepiped outer shape, a pair of surfaces facing each other is open, and the other surface is provided with four side plates 2, ...
It is a hollow cylinder surrounded by. Incidentally, reference numeral 3 in the drawing indicates an open surface. The box body 1 may be formed by joining wooden or synthetic resin plates forming the side plate 2 into a tubular shape, or by extruding a synthetic resin into a tubular shape and cutting it into a predetermined length. You may form.

The box body 1a shown in FIG. 1 (a) has a cubic shape in which the lengths of all the three sides defining a rectangular parallelepiped are set to the reference dimension L. The box 1b shown in FIG. 1 (b) is
Of the three sides that define the rectangular parallelepiped, the length of two sides is set to the reference dimension L. In this embodiment, 1 on the open surface 3 side
The length of one side and the length of one side along the opening direction are set to the reference dimension L, and the length of the remaining one side is set to be shorter than the reference dimension L, that is, a pair of opposing sides. The side plates 2 and 2 are square, and the other pair of facing side plates 2 and 2 are rectangular. In addition, in the box body 1b, the length of the remaining one side can be set longer than the reference dimension L. The box body 1c shown in FIG. 1 (c) has one of three sides defining a rectangular parallelepiped set to the reference dimension L. In this embodiment, the length of one side on the open surface 3 side is set to the reference dimension L, and the lengths of the remaining two sides are set to be longer than the reference dimension L.

2 to 4 show an example of a storage rack A constructed by using a large number of the boxes 1a, .... This box 1
Since the length of all sides of the a is the reference dimension L, no matter which direction the columns are arranged or stacked, the adjacent boxes 1a
It is possible to join the respective surfaces accurately, and it is possible to arrange the open surface 3 side in a desired direction to form a shelf. The storage rack A shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 has a plurality of boxes 1a, ... Arranged in a line and stacked on the storage boxes A. The storage rack A shown in FIG. Are arranged and laminated in a three-dimensional manner. Here, one open surface 3 of the box body 1a is connected to the other box body 1a.
When the open surface 3 faces upward, it becomes a storage box having a bottom plate by closing with the side plate 2 of the open surface 3
When is facing sideways, it becomes a unit shelf having a back plate.

FIG. 5 shows a plurality of boxes 1a, ...
The desk B constructed by using b, ... And the plate body 4 is shown. That is, the illustrated one is the open surface 3 on the front side.
The box 1b is stacked on the box 1a whose sides are oriented in the front-rear direction, and the box 1b is stacked on the boxes 1a whose open surfaces 3 are oriented laterally on the rear side and joined to each other to form the leg B1. The top plate B2 is formed by forming the same leg portions B1 with a space between them on the side and placing the plate body 4 on the upper surface thereof. Here, in the leg portion B1, the front side of the box body 1a and the box body 1b has an open surface 3 facing the front side, and the back surface thereof is closed by the side surface plate 2 of the rear side box body 1a and the box body 1b. , The open sides 3 and 3 of the box 1a and the box 1b on the rear side
Is laterally open.

FIG. 6 shows some examples of interior equipment using the box 1a. FIG. 6A shows a table C constructed by placing a glass plate 5 as a plate on the upper surface of a box 1a arranged with the open surface 3 facing upward. Figure 6
(b) is a lighting fixture in which a punching metal plate 6 as a plate is placed on the upper surface of the box body 1a arranged with the open surface 3 facing upward, and the illuminator 7 is arranged inside the box body 1a. D
Is built. In FIG. 6 (c), two box bodies 1a, 1a with the open surface 3 facing upward are stacked, a vertically long cylindrical space is provided inside, and a large document is rolled up and accommodated in the cylindrical space. Or, a storage box E for storing other long articles is constructed. In addition, in the example of the table, the lighting fixture, and the storage box described above, the height can be adjusted by disposing another new box body 1a or box body 1b in the lower portion with the square side plate 2 facing upward. At the same time, the bottom surface can be formed.

7 (a) and 7 (b) show an example in which a storage case F capable of storing a large article such as the mattress 8 is constructed. The storage F of this example has an open surface 3 of the box 1c.
The mattresses 8 are installed with the sides facing the sides
, And one or both of the open surfaces 3 of the box 1c are closed by the side plates 2 of the plurality of boxes 1a, ....
Therefore, in this case, the length of one side on the open surface 3 side of the box body 1c is set to the reference dimension L, and the length of the other side is set to the reference dimension L.
Is set to an integral multiple, and in this embodiment, it is set to double. It should be noted that it is also possible to close the open surface 3 side of the box 1c described above with a square side plate 2 having the reference dimension L of the box 1b.

FIG. 8 shows an example in which an interior space S is provided with the assembled furniture of the present invention. In the interior space S, two types of storage shelves A, A and a partition that also serves as a desk B and a storage shelves are shown. Wall G
Has been arranged. The partition wall G includes a large number of boxes 1a,
... are arranged in an L-shape in plan view and are stacked in multiple stages,
The open surface 3 of an appropriate number of boxes 1a is arranged facing the wall surface.

In the assembled furniture of the present invention, it is preferable that adjacent box bodies are connected to each other by an appropriate connecting means.
