Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to a tower kotatsu that can be used as a kotatsu in winter and as a low table in the off-season.

[Technical background of the invention]

This type of yagura kotatsu is called a furniture-style yagura kotatsu, and is more luxurious than a regular yagura kotatsu, and is used as a low table during the off-season.

However, the above-mentioned Yagura Kotatsu is installed with the heating element exposed on the underside of the top plate.
When used as a low table, it has an attractive appearance,
Further, during use, dust may adhere to or accumulate on the heating element, or objects may hit the protective net, deforming the protective net.

Therefore, it is customary to remove the heating element from the Yagura Kotatsu and use it as a low table.

[Problems with background technology]

However, in the above-mentioned type of tower kotatsu, the heating element must be attached and removed depending on the purpose of use, and the removed heating element must be stored separately, which is troublesome.

[Purpose of invention]

This idea was made in view of the above points,
To provide a tower kotatsu which can also be used as a low table without removing a heating element part from the tower kotatsu.

[Summary of the idea]

The purpose of this invention is to create a yagura kotatsu by providing a groove in the beam on which the heating element is placed, and placing a plate slidably in this groove to cover the heating element when used as a low table. It will be achieved.

[Example of idea]

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 indicates a tower kotatsu, and the tower kotatsu 1 is comprised of a top plate 2 and legs 3 attached to the four corners of the top plate 2.

The top plate 2 is formed by a frame body 4 and vertical and horizontal beams 5, 5 incorporated into the frame body, and a space 6 formed in the center part has a space 6 as shown in FIG. A heat generating element part 7 and a protective net 8 are disposed below the heat generating element part 7 so as to fit inside the heating element part 7. Further, a top plate member 9 is provided at the center of the top plate 2 so as to cover an area including the heat generating element 7, so that the heat generating element 7 cannot be visually observed from above.

On the other hand, a groove extending in the horizontal direction is provided at a position below the protective net 8 of the rod 5 located on the side surface of the space 6 of the rod 5, and two plates 1 are inserted into this groove.
0 and 10 are slidably arranged.

That is, the plates 10, 10 are positioned so as to extend in a direction perpendicular to the top plate member 9, as shown in FIG. 1, and handles 11, 11 are provided at the ends of each plate 10. On the other hand, a switch (not shown) is provided at a portion of the frame 4 facing the handle 11 of the plate 10, and when the plate 10 is opened to expose the heating element portion 7, the plate pushes the switch. , the switch is now working. The above switch is connected in series to the electric circuit of the tower kotatsu.
Note that when the plate 10 presses the switch, the ventilation space (between the legs) 12 formed in the top plate 2 is closed.

Next, the effect will be explained.

When used as a kotatsu, the plates 10, 10 located below the heating element part 7 are slid along the grooves in a direction away from each other as shown in FIG. As a result, the heating element portion 7 is exposed and the ventilation space 12 is closed. Further, as the plate 10 moves in the direction of contacting the frame 4, a switch (not shown) is turned on.

Next, when the heating element section 7 is energized, the heat emitted from the heating element warms the heating area formed under the top plate 2, but in this case, since the ventilation space 12 is closed by the plate 10, the heat is removed. This will efficiently send it to the heating area.

When used as a low table, the plates 10, 10 are slid along the grooves in a direction toward each other as shown in FIG. As a result, the space 6 having the heating element part 7 is covered by the plates 10, 10, so that dust does not accumulate on the heating element part provided in the space 6, and the heating element part is not exposed, so that the heating element part is not exposed during use. This will not cause any malfunction, and since the switch connected in series with the electric circuit is turned off, the heating element will not be energized.

In the above embodiment, the switch was actuated by the plate coming into contact with the switch provided on the frame, but the same effect can be obtained by providing a switch on the plate and activating the switch when the plate moves. Of course you can get it.

[Effect of idea]

As described above, according to the present invention, when used as a low table in the off-season, there is no need to remove the heating element from the top plate, and therefore it is easy to handle. By turning the switch on and off, it is possible to prevent the heating element from being energized when the table is in use.
