JPS598145Y2 - Underframe for Yagura Gotatsu - Google Patents

Description

[Detailed explanation of the invention] This invention relates to a frame for a yagura gotatsu, and more specifically, by placing an existing yagura gotatsu on top of it, you can sit on a chair, sofa, etc. and get warm. This relates to the underframe for Shita Yagura Gotatsu.

Traditionally, various types of kotatsu have been used to heat the feet, such as the yagura kotatsu, horigotatsu, and table-type kotatsu (used while sitting on a chair), but the yagura kotatsu has short legs. Therefore, they had to bend or straighten their knees to put their feet inside the kotatsu, which was tiring.

In addition, horigotatsu is preferable because it allows you to keep warm in a comfortable position because you only have to bend your knees and there is no need to fold it, but since you have to make a hole in the floor etc. It is a large-scale installation work that requires a carpenter etc.
The cost was high, and construction was impossible in some places, such as condominiums, due to their structure.

For this reason, a table-type kotatsu (hereinafter referred to as a Western-style kotatsu) that can be used while sitting on a chair was also developed, but the kotatsu has a hanging tongue at the bottom of the place where you put your feet. Warm air escapes from this area and cold air enters the kotatsu, making it difficult to obtain a sufficient heating effect.

Therefore, the inventor of the present invention has investigated various types of kotatsu that can be used while sitting on a chair or sofa (hereinafter simply referred to as a chair), in which the conventional Yagura Gotatsu and its top plate can be used as is. As a result, we have come up with the present invention.

In other words, the present invention consists of a single-piece front plate, left and right side plates, and a rear plate, and these four corners can be detachably disassembled using bolts, etc.
A fixed cylindrical body is formed so that it can be assembled, and leg rests protruding inward from the cylindrical body are provided slightly below the upper ends of the four corners on which to place the legs of the yagura gotatsu. This is an underframe for a tower gotatsu, which is provided with a heat insulating piece that hangs down from at least the inner circumference of each plate of the shaped body to the upper outer circumferential surface.

To explain the present invention based on an example, as shown in Fig. 1, the long side A is slightly longer than the length between the legs of the yagura gotatsu, and the height is approximately the same as the height of the seat of the chair used. Square timbers 5, 5 with a length slightly shorter than the height of the short side B of the plate-like bodies are vertically placed near both ends of the short side B of the plate-like body and the long side A of both the plate-like bodies 1a, 3a having an appropriate thickness. Attach two on each side, and the spacing between them is approximately the same as the spacing between the legs of the yagura gotatsu.

Furthermore, a heat insulating piece 6a made of a carpet or the like which is longer than the short side B of the plate is attached to the entire surface of the plate so that it hangs down from the upper end of the plate from the inside to the outside as shown in FIG. Shape the front plate 1 and rear plate 3 as shown below.

Next, a long side A having a length approximately equal to the interval between the legs of the yagura gotatsu, a short side B having the same length as the short sides of the front plate 1 and the rear plate 3, and a plate-like body having the same thickness as the front plate 1, etc. 2a, 4a are provided with notches 7, 7 near the portions where the square timbers 5 contact, that is, near both long side ends of the plate-like body, and heat-retaining pieces 6a longer than the length of the short side B of the plate-like body are provided. A right side plate 2 and a left side pole 4 as shown in FIG. 3 are attached to the entire surface of the plate-shaped body so as to hang down from the outer upper end thereof from the inside.

The notches 7 of the insulation pieces 6a of the left and right side plates 2 and 4 are attached to the square timbers 5 of the front plate 1 and the rear plate 3 shaped in this way, and a cylindrical tower gotatsu consisting of the front, rear, and left and right sides is made. Underframe I (
Hereinafter simply referred to as ``frame'') is the formal precept.

Then, place this frame A on the floor, place the legs of the yagura gotatsu on the upper end (leg rest) of the square timber 5, cover it with a quilt and a top plate, and use it by sitting on a chair, etc. It is something.

The length of the hanging heat-insulating piece 6a made of a carpet or the like may be such that it hangs down so as to wrap around the upper end of each board of the underframe, and is not particularly limited; It is preferable that the length of + of the height is made to hang down.

This is because when the kotatsu is used, the hanging heat insulation piece 6a is sandwiched between the front part of the chair etc. and the underframe, thereby reducing the gap between the underframe and the front part, thereby reducing the dissipation of warm air inside the kotatsu. In addition, even if the front part of the chair or the like hits or rubs against the underframe, it can be prevented from damaging the front part.

Further, by increasing the length of the hanging heat retaining piece 6a and placing one end thereof on the front part of a seat such as a chair, it is possible to further improve heat retention.

Additionally, a carpet or the like may be attached to a heat-insulating piece 6a that is separately hung from a part of the outer circumferential corner of this underframe using Velcro or the like, and a heat-insulating piece may also be made to hang from a part of the corner to further ensure heat retention. .

In the above explanation, an example is shown in which a carpet is used as a heat-insulating piece, but a heat-insulating piece such as a blanket, felt, or foam can also be used.
It is also possible to make it cheaper by attaching only the heat retaining piece 6a to the inner surface of the underframe A and not attaching the heat retaining piece to the inner surface of the underframe A, or by changing the material of the hanging heat retaining piece 6a and the material of the heat retaining piece 6b attached to the inner surface of the underframe A. Furthermore, a heat insulating piece 6C may be attached to bend inward from the lower end of the underframe A to improve heat retention, especially when the underframe is used in a place such as a board floor. Even if the height is adjusted, heat retention can be ensured by preventing a gap from forming between the lower end of the underframe and the floor.

Next, in the above explanation, the leg rest 5a on which the legs of the tower gotatsu are placed is formed by installing the square timbers 5 slightly lower than the height of the underframe A, but the leg rests 5a as shown in FIG. The leg rests 5a may be formed by being attached slightly below the upper end of each corner of the frame A.

It is possible to form a mounting frame at a part of each corner defined by the front plate 1, rear plate 3, left and right side plates 2, 4, without using this square timber 5, using commercially available corner fittings 5C. .

In addition, the interval between the leg rests is approximately the same as the interval between the legs of the kotatsu, and by providing the leg rest 5a slightly below the upper end of the underframe A, the kotatsu is placed on the underframe A. The kotatsu is designed to prevent the kotatsu from moving back and forth, left and right on the underframe, or from falling off the top of the underframe, but if the distance between the legs is slightly shorter than the distance between the leg rests, the upper corner of the foot rest Attach thick-walled corner fittings to some of the legs, or fit long-walled thick-walled rubber or plastic to the legs.
The kotatsu may be prevented from shifting on the underframe.

The height of the underframe A can be determined appropriately depending on the height of the seat of the chair, etc. to be used. To adjust the height, use the height adjustment frame opening as shown in Figure 8. Alternatively, although not shown, a bolt may be included in the lower part of the square member 5, and the height may be adjusted by the screwing amount of this bolt.

At this time, there will be a gap at the bottom of the underframe A, so as shown in Figure 9, a heat insulating piece 6C is attached to the inside of the underframe A so that it is bent to prevent warm air from escaping and to prevent cold air from entering the frame. It is best to prevent it from entering.

In the above explanation, the shape of the underframe A was explained as a cylindrical body that is approximately square in plan view, but the shape of the underframe according to the present invention is a cylindrical body, and the inner surface of the cylindrical body has a turret leg part. It goes without saying that it is not particularly limited as long as it has a leg rest 5a that can be placed on the foot. You can use something like this.

In addition, various materials such as wood, plywood, composite resin, metal, etc. can be used for the plate-like material that constitutes the underframe A, and the mounting method for each side of the underframe A can also be changed from square lumber 5. In addition to the method of mounting using commercially available metal fittings, a fitting type may also be used.

Furthermore, depending on the usage, a heating element may be placed at the bottom of the underframe A.

In addition, since the underframe I is cylindrical, even if you sit on a chair and put your feet inside the kotatsu, the lower part of the place where you put your feet will be covered by the frame, providing excellent heat retention. It has become something like this.

Moreover, since a heat-insulating piece 6a is attached to the underframe A, which hangs from the inside to the outside from its upper end, the gap between the front part of the chair, etc. and the platform scale can be reduced, and even more heat-retaining properties can be achieved. It is now possible to ensure this.

Moreover, even if the front part of the chair etc. directly hits or rubs against the stand, the heat retaining piece 6a serves as a buffer and prevents the chair etc. from being damaged.

Furthermore, by constructing the underframe as a plate-like body, it is not only easy to assemble, but when not in use, it can be disassembled into plate-like pieces to reduce bulk, so it does not take up much storage space. It has excellent effects such as easy storage.
