DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to furniture suitably used in offices and the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent offices, not only wagons and chairs but also tables, whiteboards, partitions, and the like are configured to be movable, and the arrangement of furniture is appropriately changed according to the nature of work. Various methods have been devised so as to achieve the above. However, since a single-column base table, white board, or the like has leg blades at its lower end, it is difficult for the leg blades to interfere with normal storage furniture or the like. Therefore, there is a problem that the office space cannot be used effectively.

[0003] As a measure for solving such a problem, fixed furniture such as storage furniture is supported by a plurality of pillars, and the moving furniture is placed between the bottom surface of the furniture body and the floor surface. It is conceivable to form a space in which the tip of the leg blade can enter.

[0004]

However, in the case of this simple device, there is a problem that it is difficult to collect small articles such as a writing instrument and an eraser when the articles are rolled into the gap, and it takes much time for cleaning and the like. Furthermore, if such a structure is adopted for heavy furniture such as heavy furniture, large concentrated stress will be applied to the base of the pedestal in the event of an earthquake, etc. Is done.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a furniture main body supported by pillars and a gap between the bottom surface and the floor surface where leg blades or the like can enter. Not only to form, but also inside the pedestal at its bottom,
A continuous wall reaching almost the floor is formed, and an intermediate wall is interposed between the continuous wall and the pillar.

[0006]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A furniture according to the present invention has a plurality of pillars protruding in the vicinity of an outer edge of a bottom surface of a furniture main body, and a floor located inside the pillars on the bottom surface. A continuous wall reaching the surface is formed so as to be continuous so as to form a closed loop, and an intermediate wall is interposed between the continuous wall and the pillar. Here, the phrase "substantially closed loop" refers to not only the case where the continuous wall is completely continuous over the entire circumference, but also the state where the continuous wall is substantially continuous over the entire circumference even though there are some discontinuous portions. Also means

[0007] With such a configuration, a gap can be formed between the bottom surface of the furniture body and the floor surface, so that moving furniture having leg blades can be arranged close to each other. become. Moreover, since there is a continuous wall behind the gap, it is possible to effectively prevent the small articles from rolling deep into the gap below the furniture body. In addition, since the continuous wall forms a substantially closed loop, it has excellent strength. Therefore, if an intermediate wall is interposed between the continuous wall and the pillar, the inclination of the pillar can be prevented by the continuous wall via the intermediate wall. Therefore, even in the case of a roll due to an earthquake or the like, the fall of the pillar can be prevented without difficulty, and a large concentrated stress can be prevented from acting on the upper end mounting portion of the pillar.

[0008] In the most typical embodiment, the furniture body has a quadrangular shape in plan view, and the pillars are fixed to the four corners on the bottom surface of the furniture, respectively, and at the same time a fixed distance from the outer edge of the bottom surface. The continuous wall is formed in a quadrangular portion in plan view, and a flat intermediate member is interposed between the corner of the continuous wall and the corresponding pillar.

The present invention is particularly effective when applied to a structure in which the upper end of a pillar is fixed to the bottom surface of a wooden furniture main body via a bracket. In this structure, when a large falling force acts on the pillar, the upper end mounting portion of the pillar is easily broken. In order to prevent the pillar from falling down, in other words, to emphasize stress concentration on the upper end mounting portion of the pillar, at least the upper end and the lower end of the pillar are fastened to the intermediate wall body, respectively. The intermediate wall is preferably fixed to the furniture body and the continuous wall.
