Description

The present invention relates to a fixture system.

In work spaces such as offices, public facilities, and schools, it is common for furniture with tabletops to be used to improve the work efficiency of workers. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a furniture with tabletops that has a rectangular tabletop in plan view and multiple legs that support the tabletop. Patent Document 2 discloses a furniture with tabletops that has a curved tabletop in plan view and multiple legs that support the tabletop. In these furniture with tabletops, workers who are positioned near the outer edge of the tabletop, for example, use the top surface of the tabletop as a work surface to perform work.

Patent No. 6541256 JP 2018-033686 A

However, there are cases where an increase in the number of workers makes it necessary to add more tabletop-equipped fixtures, or where multiple tabletop-equipped fixtures need to be moved due to changes in the layout of the office space. In such cases, the tabletop-equipped fixtures disclosed in Patent Documents 1 and 2 have low layout freedom when installing multiple tabletop-equipped fixtures, making it difficult to add or move tabletop-equipped fixtures.

Furthermore, in the furniture with a tabletop disclosed in Patent Document 1, a pair of legs are connected to each other by multiple beams. In Patent Document 1, these multiple beams are provided between the pair of legs and protrude to the outside of the legs. As a result, the space below the edge of the tabletop is narrowed by the beams, narrowing the space for the lower legs of the worker.

The present invention was made in consideration of the above-mentioned problems, and aims to improve the freedom of layout of tabletop-equipped fixtures and ensure a large space below the tabletop-equipped fixtures in a fixture system having multiple tabletop-equipped fixtures.

The present invention adopts the following configuration as a means for solving the above problems.

The first aspect of the present invention is a fixture system comprising a first tabletop-equipped fixture having a first tabletop, a second tabletop-equipped fixture having a second tabletop whose underside is positioned higher than the upper surface of the first tabletop, and a support unit that supports the second tabletop, the support unit comprising a pair of supports that are positioned opposite each other and spaced apart in a first horizontal direction, and a linear tabletop support member having one end connected to one of the supports and the other end connected to the other support, positioned higher than the upper surface of the first tabletop, and supporting the second tabletop from below, the end of the second tabletop in the first direction protruding outward in the first direction beyond the supports.

The first aspect of the display system of the present invention comprises a display with a first top having a relatively low first top, and a display with a second top having a relatively high second top. The underside of the second top is positioned higher than the upper side of the first top. Therefore, in the display system of the first aspect of the present invention, it is possible to position the display with the first top so that a portion of the display with the first top is accommodated below the display with the second top.

That is, in the first aspect of the furniture system of the present invention, a part of the first tabletop-equipped furniture can be stored under the second tabletop-equipped furniture, and the exposed part of the first tabletop can be used as a work surface. In this way, according to the furniture system of the first aspect of the present invention, it is possible to lay out the first tabletop-equipped furniture and the second tabletop-equipped furniture in a partially overlapping state, and the degree of freedom in the layout of the tabletop-equipped furniture is increased compared to a case in which the tabletop-equipped furniture cannot be laid out with a partial overlap. Therefore, according to the furniture system of the first aspect of the present invention, in a furniture system having multiple tabletop-equipped furniture, it is possible to improve the degree of freedom in the layout of the tabletop-equipped furniture. Also, according to the furniture system of the first aspect of the present invention, the second tabletop-equipped furniture can be used by the worker in a standing position, and the first tabletop-equipped furniture can be used by the worker in a seated position. In other words, the first aspect of the furniture system of the present invention allows workers who work in different postures to work in the same space.

Furthermore, in the furniture system of the first aspect of the present invention, the end of the tabletop support member is connected to the support. In other words, the tabletop support member is disposed between a pair of supports and does not protrude outside the supports from between the pair of supports. Such a support unit has a gate-like shape with the tabletop support member sandwiched between two supports, which is strong and can stably support the second tabletop.

In addition, in the first aspect of the furniture system of the present invention, the end of the second tabletop in the first direction is provided so as to protrude outward beyond the support body. Therefore, according to the first aspect of the present invention, a large space can be formed below the end of the second tabletop where no tabletop support member is arranged. Furthermore, if the first tabletop-equipped furniture and the second tabletop-equipped furniture are arranged close to each other, it is possible that the lower end of the second tabletop will be within the field of view of an office worker using the first tabletop-equipped furniture in a seated position, for example. Even in such a case, according to the first aspect of the present invention, it is possible to prevent the tabletop support member from being within the field of view of an office worker viewing the end of the second tabletop. Therefore, it is possible to improve the appearance of the furniture system.

Therefore, according to the first aspect of the present invention, in a fixture system having multiple tabletop-equipped fixtures, it is possible to improve the freedom of layout of the tabletop-equipped fixtures and ensure a large space below the tabletop-equipped fixtures.

The second aspect of the present invention is the first aspect, in which the outer edge of the end of the second top plate has two straight parts extending in different directions and an arc-shaped curved part connecting the straight parts.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, a corner having an arc-shaped curved portion is provided on the outer edge of the second tabletop. Such a corner does not have a bent portion in a plan view, making it easy to work on from any direction. Therefore, according to the second aspect of the present invention, it is possible to easily work on the corner of the second tabletop regardless of the orientation of the second tabletop-equipped fixture in a plan view. In other words, according to the second aspect of the present invention, it is possible to further improve the freedom of layout of the tabletop-equipped fixture.

The third aspect of the present invention is the first or second aspect, in which the outer edge of the first tabletop has two straight portions extending in different directions and an arc-shaped curved portion connecting the straight portions.

According to the third aspect of the present invention, a corner having an arc-shaped curved portion is provided on the outer edge of the first tabletop. Such a corner does not have a bent portion in a plan view, so work can be easily performed from any direction. Therefore, according to the third aspect of the present invention, regardless of how the first tabletop-equipped fixture is rotated relative to the second tabletop-equipped fixture in a plan view, work can be easily performed at the corner of the first tabletop. In other words, according to the third aspect of the present invention, it is possible to further improve the freedom of layout of the tabletop-equipped fixture.

A fourth aspect of the present invention is any one of the first to third aspects, in which the tabletop support member is positioned closer to the center of the second tabletop than one end and the other end of the support body in a horizontal second direction perpendicular to the first direction.

According to the fourth aspect of the present invention, the tabletop support member is positioned toward the center of the second tabletop in the second direction. Therefore, in a plan view, the tabletop support member is positioned at a constant distance from the outer edge of the second tabletop. In other words, in the fourth aspect of the present invention, the tabletop support member is positioned at a position that is significantly recessed from the outer edge of the second tabletop as viewed from the worker. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the tabletop support member from getting in the way of the worker.

A fifth aspect of the present invention is any one of the first to fourth aspects, in which each of the pair of supports includes a connection portion connected to the top board support member, a pair of upper arms extending from the connection portion in the first direction so as to be spaced apart from the other support, arranged in a horizontal second direction perpendicular to the first direction, and spaced apart from each other in the second direction as they move away from the connection portion along the first direction, and support legs extending downward from the lower portion of each of the upper arms.

According to the fifth aspect of the present invention, the distance between the pair of upper arms increases as they move away from the connection portion to which the tabletop support member is connected. In other words, the pair of upper arms are extended so that they widen as they move away from the connection portion. This ensures a wide gap between the support legs that extend downward from the lower portion of each of these upper arms, thereby stably supporting the load from the second tabletop. It also becomes possible to widen the space between the upper arms, making it possible to expand the lower leg space for workers near the end of the second tabletop.

The sixth aspect of the present invention is the fifth aspect, in which the support leg has an inner wall surface facing the other support, and the inner wall surface is formed as an inclined surface that slopes downward in a direction away from the other support.

According to the sixth aspect of the present invention, the inner wall surface of the support leg is inclined so as to move away from the other support as it goes downward. Therefore, compared to a case in which the inner wall surface of the support leg is perpendicular to the underside of the second top plate, it is possible to make the space between the supports wider as it goes downward.

By expanding the space between the supports downward in this way, it is possible to ensure a wide range of rotation of the first tabletop-equipped fixture relative to the second tabletop-equipped fixture in a plan view when part of the first tabletop-equipped fixture is housed below the second tabletop. The lower the height of the first tabletop relative to the second tabletop, the wider the range of rotation of the first tabletop-equipped fixture relative to the second tabletop-equipped fixture in a plan view. According to this sixth aspect of the present invention, it is possible to widen the range of rotation of the first tabletop-equipped fixture relative to the second tabletop-equipped fixture in a plan view, thereby further improving the freedom of layout of the tabletop-equipped fixtures.

The seventh aspect of the present invention is the fifth or sixth aspect, in which the support leg connected to one of the upper arms and the support leg connected to the other of the upper arms extend downward from the upper arms and are generally inclined so as to approach each other as they extend downward.

According to the seventh aspect of the present invention, the support legs approach each other as they move downward, so the support body has a shape that narrows toward the bottom. This makes it possible to expand the space below the second tabletop on the outside of the support legs, compared to when the support legs extend vertically downward without being inclined.

By expanding the space below the second tabletop outside the support legs in this way, it is possible to ensure a wide rotation range of the first tabletop-equipped fixture relative to the second tabletop-equipped fixture in a plan view when a portion of the first tabletop-equipped fixture is stored below the second tabletop. Note that the lower the height of the first tabletop relative to the second tabletop, the wider the rotation range of the first tabletop-equipped fixture relative to the second tabletop-equipped fixture in a plan view. According to the seventh aspect of the present invention, it is possible to further improve the freedom of layout of the tabletop-equipped fixtures by widening the rotation range of the first tabletop-equipped fixture relative to the second tabletop-equipped fixture in a plan view.

The eighth aspect of the present invention is any one of the fifth to seventh aspects, in which the support body includes a grounding portion that connects the lower ends of the support legs together and can be grounded to the floor surface.

According to the eighth aspect of the present invention, the lower ends of the support legs are connected to each other by the grounding portion. This improves the rigidity of the support body. This makes it possible to more stably support the second tabletop.

The ninth aspect of the present invention is any one of the fifth to eighth aspects, in which the support leg is formed in a plate shape with the first direction as the width direction.

According to the ninth aspect of the present invention, since the support legs are formed in a plate shape, the cross-sectional area of the support legs is increased compared to rod-shaped support legs, and the load from the second top plate can be distributed and received. This makes it possible to reduce the load on the support legs. Furthermore, it is possible to form a wide space between the support legs, with the width direction of the support legs as the depth direction. This makes it possible to use the space between the support legs as storage space.

The tenth aspect of the present invention is any one of the fifth to ninth aspects, in which the support body includes a removable cover body that closes the gap between one of the support legs and the other of the support legs.

According to the tenth aspect of the present invention, it is possible to block the space between the support legs with a cover body. This makes it possible to prevent the opposite side of the support from being seen by a person on the outside through the space between the support legs.

The eleventh aspect of the present invention is any one of the fifth to tenth aspects, in which the support body is disposed between one of the upper arms and the other of the upper arms and includes a support surface portion that supports the second top plate from below.

According to the eleventh aspect of the present invention, the contact area between the support body and the second tabletop can be increased by the support surface portion, and the area that receives the load from the second tabletop can be increased. Therefore, the second tabletop can be supported more stably by the support body than when, for example, only the upper arm contacts the second tabletop.

In the present invention, a first tabletop-equipped fixture has a first tabletop, a second tabletop-equipped fixture has a second tabletop whose lower surface is located higher than the upper surface of the first tabletop and a support unit that supports the second tabletop, and the support unit includes a pair of supports that are arranged opposite each other at a distance in a first horizontal direction, and a linear tabletop support member that is connected to one end of one of the supports and to the other end of the other support, is arranged higher than the upper surface of the first tabletop, and supports the second tabletop from below, and the end of the second tabletop in the first direction is provided to protrude outward in the first direction beyond the supports. Therefore, according to the present invention, in a fixture system having multiple tabletop-equipped fixtures, it is possible to improve the degree of freedom in the layout of the tabletop-equipped fixtures and ensure a wide space below the tabletop-equipped fixtures.

Below, one embodiment of the fixture system according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

First Embodiment
FIG. 1 is a plan view showing a schematic configuration of a furniture display system 100 of the present embodiment. FIG. 2 is a perspective view of one high table 200 and one low table 300 included in the furniture display system 100 of the present embodiment. The furniture display system 100 of the present embodiment is installed in a work space such as an office, a public facility, or a school, and provides a work surface for workers. As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the furniture display system 100 of the present embodiment includes a high table 200 (a furniture display with a second tabletop) and a low table 300 (a furniture display with a first tabletop).

Figure 1 shows a furniture display system 100 equipped with two high tables 200 and two low tables 300. However, the number of high tables 200 and low tables 300 can be set arbitrarily to one or more. The furniture display system 100 of this embodiment only needs to be equipped with at least one high table 200 and one low table 300.

The high table 200 is a tabletop-equipped fixture that has a high-position tabletop 1 (second tabletop) that is placed at a higher position than the low-position tabletop 50 (first tabletop) of the low table 300. For example, an office worker uses the high table 200 while standing. For this reason, the high-position tabletop 1 of the high table 200 is placed at a height that makes it easy for the office worker to work while standing, for example.

The low table 300 is a piece of furniture with a low-position top 50 that is positioned lower than the high-position top 1 of the high table 200. For example, an office worker uses the low table 300 while seated. For example, an office worker uses the low table 300 while seated on a chair 400 placed to the side of the low table 300. For this reason, the low-position top 50 of the low table 300 is positioned at a height that makes it easy for the office worker to work while seated.

In the furniture display system 100 of this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the high table 200 is arranged so as to straddle a portion of the low table 300. In other words, a portion of the low-position top plate 50 of the low table 300 is accommodated below the high-position top plate 1 of the high table 200. Another portion of the low-position top plate 50 of the low table 300 is positioned away from the high-position top plate 1 of the high table 200 and is exposed upward. In this way, in the furniture display system 100 of this embodiment, in a plan view, a portion of the low-position top plate 50 is arranged overlapping the high-position top plate 1, and another portion of the low-position top plate 50 is arranged exposed upward.

Figure 3 is an overall view of the high table 200 provided in the furniture display system 100 of this embodiment, with (a) being a side view and (b) being a plan view. Also, Figure 4 is a perspective view of the high table 200 provided in the furniture display system 100 of this embodiment. Also, Figure 5 is an exploded perspective view of the high table 200 provided in the furniture display system 100 of this embodiment. As shown in these figures, the high table 200 comprises a high-position top plate 1 and a support unit 2.

The high-position tabletop 1 is supported from below by the support unit 2, and the upper surface of the tabletop can be used as a work surface. In this embodiment, the lower surface of the high-position tabletop 1 is positioned higher than the upper surface of the low-position tabletop 50 of the low table 300.

As shown in FIG. 2, in this embodiment, in the area where the high-position top plate 1 and the low-position top plate 50 overlap in a plan view, the underside of the high-position top plate 1 and the upper side of the low-position top plate 50 are separated by a space. As a result, a storage space S is formed between the high-position top plate 1 and the low-position top plate 50. This storage space S can be used to store, for example, an office worker's bag or to place a small cabinet.

As shown in FIG. 3(b) and other figures, the high-position tabletop 1 is formed in a generally rectangular shape in a plan view. In the following description, the long side of the high-position tabletop 1 is the left-right direction of the high table 200 (first horizontal direction), and the short side of the high-position tabletop 1 is the front-rear direction of the high table 200 (second horizontal direction).

The outer edge 1a of the high-position tabletop 1 has four straight sections 1b. Two of these four straight sections 1b extend along the left-right direction, and the remaining two extend along the front-to-back direction. In addition, the outer edge 1a of the high-position tabletop 1 has four arc-shaped curved sections 1c. Each curved section 1c is curved so as to bulge outward from the high-position tabletop 1, and connects two straight sections 1b that extend in different directions.

The high-position tabletop 1 has rounded corners 1d, each of which has straight sections 1b that extend in different directions and a circular-arc curved section 1c that connects the straight sections 1b. Such corners 1d are provided at each of the four corners of the high-position tabletop 1, which is formed in a rectangular shape. At each corner 1d, the straight sections 1b and the curved sections 1c are smoothly connected without forming any bending sections.

Since there is no bent portion at the corner 1d of the high-position tabletop 1, when working in an area including the corner 1d from the side of the high-position tabletop 1, the bent portion does not get in the way of the work. Therefore, no matter what direction the worker is working from in relation to the corner 1d, he or she can work comfortably on the top surface of the high-position tabletop 1.

As shown in FIG. 3(a), the left and right ends of the high-position tabletop 1 are provided so as to protrude outward from the support body 3 (described later) of the support unit 2. In this embodiment, such left and right ends of the high-position tabletop 1 are provided so as to protrude outward from the support body 3 to a degree that the lower legs of the worker can be accommodated even when the worker is in a seated position.

In this embodiment, as shown in Figures 4 and 5, for example, the high position tabletop 1 is formed by dividing it into two parts. That is, in this embodiment, the high position tabletop 1 is formed by joining two divided parts. It is also possible to form the high position tabletop 1 without dividing it.

The support unit 2 contacts the floor surface to support the high-position tabletop 1 from below, and transmits the load received from the high-position tabletop 1 to the floor surface. As shown in FIG. 3, for example, the support unit 2 includes a pair of supports 3 and a beam member 4 (tabletop support member).

The supports 3 are spaced apart in the left-right direction (i.e., horizontal direction) and are connected to each other by beam members 4. These supports 3 are formed in a symmetrical shape, for example, as shown in FIG. 3(a).

Figure 6 is a perspective view showing the overall configuration of the support 3. Also, Figure 7 is an exploded perspective view of the support 3. As shown in these figures, the support 3 comprises a base body 10, an upper body 20, and a cover body 30. Note that since the two supports 3 are symmetrical, only one support 3 is illustrated and described in Figures 6 and 7.

The base 10 is a rigid member that supports the upper body 20 and the cover body 30. The base 10 includes a pair of upper arms 11, a connecting rod 12, an intermediate plate 13, a support leg 14, and a ground contact portion 15.

Figure 8 is a plan view of the base unit 10. For example, as shown in Figure 8, the upper arm 11 is a part that extends in the left-right direction from the connecting rod 12 that extends along the front-rear direction. In this embodiment, two upper arms 11 are arranged in the front-rear direction (horizontal direction perpendicular to the left-right direction in which the supports are separated). These upper arms 11 extend from the connecting rod 12 in the left-right direction away from the support 3 different from the support 3 on which they are provided. In other words, the upper arm 11 provided on the support 3 arranged on the left side extends from the connecting rod 12 toward the left side opposite the support 3 arranged on the right side. Also, the upper arm 11 provided on the support 3 arranged on the right side extends from the connecting rod 12 toward the right side opposite the support 3 arranged on the left side.

One of the two upper arms 11 extends from one end of the connecting rod 12. The other of the two upper arms 11 extends from the other end of the connecting rod 12. These upper arms 11 are spaced apart from each other in the front-to-rear direction (i.e., the arrangement direction) as they move away from the connecting rod 12. In other words, these upper arms 11 extend so as to widen as they move away from the connecting rod 12.

When the upper body 20 is fixed to the base portion 10, the ends of each upper arm 11 connected to the connecting rod 12 in the front-rear direction are connected to the beam member connection portions 21 (described later) of the upper body 20 in the left-right direction. In other words, these upper arms 11 extend from the beam member connection portions 21 in a direction away from the support 3 (the other support) different from the support 3 on which they are provided in the left-right direction. Furthermore, the upper arms 11 are spaced apart from each other in the front-rear direction (i.e., the arrangement direction) as they move away from the beam member connection portions 21.

The connecting rod 12 is a rod-shaped member that connects one upper arm 11 to the other upper arm 11. This connecting rod 12 is provided to extend in the front-rear direction. The connecting rod 12, together with the upper arm 11, supports a support plate 22 of the upper body 20 described later from below. The intermediate plate portion 13 is disposed between the one upper arm 11 and the other upper arm 11, and is a plate-shaped portion connected to the lower part of the connecting rod 12. The intermediate plate portion 13 is inclined so as to face upward as it moves away from the connecting rod 12. The end of such an intermediate plate portion 13 opposite the connecting rod 12 is located at the same height as the connecting rod 12, and together with the connecting rod 12 and the upper arm 11, supports a support plate 22 of the upper body 20 described later from below.

Figure 9 is a side view of the base 10. As shown in this figure, the support legs 14 are portions that extend downward from the lower portion of each upper arm 11. As shown in Figure 9, the support legs 14 are formed so that the amount by which they protrude downward from the upper arm 11 increases continuously as they move away from the connecting rod 12, and are constant at a maximum amount from approximately the center of the upper arm 11 to the end opposite the connecting rod 12. In other words, as shown in Figure 9, the support legs 14 are formed in a shape that protrudes greatly from approximately the center of the upper arm 11 to the end opposite the connecting rod 12.

In addition, in this embodiment, the support legs 14 extend downward from the lower part of the upper arm 11 so that they are inclined as they move away from the support 3 different from the support 3 on which they are provided (the other support) as they move downward. In other words, the support leg 14 provided on the left support 3 is inclined so as to move toward the left as it moves downward. Also, the support leg 14 provided on the right support 3 is inclined so as to move toward the right as it moves downward.

Such a support leg 14 has an inner wall surface 14a facing the support 3 (the other support) different from the support 3 on which it is provided. This inner wall surface 14a forms the inner wall surface of the support 3 (the mutually facing surfaces of the pair of supports 3). In other words, in this embodiment, the high table 200 includes a pair of supports 3 that are arranged horizontally spaced apart and support the high-position top board 1 with their inner wall surfaces 14a facing each other.

In this embodiment, the inner wall surface 14a is formed as an inclined surface that slopes downwards away from the other support 3. In other words, the inner wall surface 14a on the left support 3 is formed as an inclined surface that slopes downwards toward the left, which is a direction that separates it from the right support 3. The inner wall surface 14a on the right support 3 is formed as an inclined surface that slopes downwards toward the right, which is a direction that separates it from the left support 3.

In this way, the inner wall surface 14a is an inclined surface that moves away from the other support 3 as it goes downward, so the space between the supports 3 expands in the left-right direction as it goes downward. Therefore, the space between the supports 3 expands compared to when the inner wall surface 14a is a vertical surface.

Figure 10 is a schematic diagram showing the movable range of the low-position tabletop 50 when the inner wall surface 14a is an inclined surface as described above and when the inner wall surface 14a is a vertical surface. In FIG. 10, the inclined inner wall surface 14a is shown by a solid line, and the vertical inner wall surface 14a is shown by a virtual line. As shown in this figure, the inner wall surface 14a is an inclined surface as described above, so that the space inside the inner wall surface 14a at the height position of the low-position tabletop 50 is expanded. The range in which the low-position tabletop 50 (i.e., the low table 300) can be arranged between the supports 3 is expanded by the expanded space. Therefore, for example, the angle of the low table 300 with respect to the high table 200 in a plan view can be made larger obtuse angle. In other words, in this embodiment, it is possible to ensure a wide rotation range of the low table 300 with respect to the high table 200 in a plan view when a part of the low table 300 is accommodated below the high-position tabletop 1.

Figure 11 is a front view of the base unit 10. Note that Figure 11 is a front view seen from the direction of arrow A in Figure 9. As shown in this figure, the support leg 14 connected to one upper arm 11 and the support leg 14 connected to the other upper arm 11 are inclined so that they approach each other as they go downward. More specifically, the support leg 14 located on the front side is inclined so that they go toward the rear as they go downward. Also, the support leg 14 located on the rear side is inclined so that they go toward the front as they go downward. As each support leg 14 is inclined in this way, the two support legs 14 approach each other as they go downward.

By inclining the support leg 14 as described above, the support 3 has a shape that narrows downward. Therefore, compared to when the support leg 14 is not inclined and extends vertically downward, the space below the high-position tabletop 1 outside the support leg 14 is wider. The range in which the low-position tabletop 50 (i.e., the low table 300) can be placed between the supports 3 is expanded by the amount of this expanded space. Therefore, for example, it is possible to make the angle of the low table 300 relative to the high table 200 in a planar view a larger obtuse angle. In other words, in this embodiment, it is possible to ensure a wide rotation range of the low table 300 relative to the high table 200 in a planar view when a part of the low table 300 is accommodated below the high-position tabletop 1.

Also, as shown in FIG. 9, for example, the support leg 14 is formed in a plate shape with the width direction being perpendicular to the vertical direction (the left-right direction in this embodiment) when the vertical direction is the length direction. By forming the support leg 14 in a plate shape in this way, the cross-sectional area of the support leg 14 is increased compared to a rod-shaped support leg, making it possible to distribute and bear the load from the high-position tabletop.

In addition, by forming the support legs 14 in a plate shape as described above, it is possible to form a wide space between the support legs 14 with the width direction of the support legs 14 as the depth direction, as shown in FIG. 11, for example.

The grounding portion 15 is a portion that connects the lower ends of the support legs 14 together and can be grounded to the floor surface. In this embodiment, it is formed in a plate shape with a width dimension that matches the plate-shaped support legs 14. This grounding portion 15 increases the rigidity of the support body 3 by connecting the support legs 14 together.

Returning to FIG. 7, the upper body 20 constitutes the upper part of the support body 3 and is the part connected to the base body 10 from above. The upper body 20 is fixed to the base body 10 by screws or the like (not shown). This upper body 20 comprises a beam member connection part 21, a support plate 22 (support surface part), and a side cover body 23.

The beam member connection portion 21 is a portion that is connected to the beam members 4 that connect the supports 3 together, and has one vertical wall portion 21a and two mounting portions 21b. The vertical wall portion 21a is a wall portion that extends in the front-rear direction with the front and back surfaces facing left-right, and supports the mounting portion 21b. This vertical wall portion 21a has approximately the same length dimension as the connecting rod 12 of the base portion 10, and abuts against the connecting rod 12 from one left-right direction. For example, the vertical wall portion 21a provided on the left support 3 abuts against the connecting rod 12 from the right side. Also, the vertical wall portion 21a provided on the right support 3 abuts against the connecting rod 12 from the left side.

The mounting portion 21b is a portion to which the end of the beam member 4 is fixed. In this embodiment, two beam members 4 are provided. Therefore, two mounting portions 21b are also provided. Each mounting portion 21b is provided protruding from the surface of the vertical wall portion 21a opposite the surface that abuts against the connecting rod 12. One mounting portion 21b protrudes from one end of the vertical wall portion 21a in the front-to-rear direction, and the other mounting portion 21b protrudes from the other end of the vertical wall portion 21a in the front-to-rear direction.

The support plate 22 is disposed so as to be embedded between one upper arm 11 and the other upper arm 11 in plan view, and is a part that supports the high-position tabletop 1 from below. In this embodiment, the support plate 22 is disposed so as to span the two upper arms 11 by being placed on the two upper arms 11. The upper surface of such a support plate 22 is in surface contact with the lower surface of the high-position tabletop 1, and supports the high-position tabletop 1 over a wide surface.

The side cover bodies 23 are connected to each end of the support plate 22 in the front-rear direction, and are arranged to hang down from the support plate 22. Each side cover body 23 abuts against the outer wall surface of the support leg 14 and is arranged to cover the outer wall surface of the support leg 14. Of the two side cover bodies 23, the side cover body 23 located on the front side in the front-rear direction covers the support leg 14 located on the front side of the two support legs 14 from the front side. In addition, of the two side cover bodies 23, the side cover body 23 located on the rear side in the front-rear direction covers the support leg 14 located on the rear side of the two support legs 14 from the rear side.

The cover body 30 is a member that seals the gap between one support leg 14 and the other support leg 14. In this embodiment, the cover body 30 is fitted and arranged with the intermediate plate portion 13, the two support legs 14, and the grounding portion 15 so as to be surrounded by these members. The fitted cover body 30 can be removed by applying a force from the space between the two supports 3 toward the outside of the supports 3. In other words, the cover body 30 is removable.

These supports 3 are connected by two beam members 4 arranged in parallel. These beam members 4 are connecting members that connect the supports 3 to each other. Each beam member 4 extends linearly in the left-right direction from the beam member connection part 21 of one support 3 to the beam member connection part 21 of the other support 3, and supports the high-position tabletop 1 from below.

Each beam member 4 is disposed toward the center of the high-position tabletop 1 in the front-to-rear direction, as shown in FIG. 3, for example. More specifically, the beam members 4 are disposed toward the center of the high-position tabletop 1 in the front-to-rear direction relative to one end and the other end of the support body 3. Therefore, in a plan view, the beam members 4 are disposed at a constant distance and largely separated from the outer edge 1a of the high-position tabletop 1. In other words, in this embodiment, the beam members 4 are disposed at a position that is largely set back from the outer edge 1a of the high-position tabletop 1 as seen by the worker.

The ends of each beam member 4 are fixed to the mounting portion 21b of the support 3. That is, as shown in FIG. 3, for example, the beam member 4 is disposed between two supports 3 and does not protrude from between the supports 3 to the outside of the supports 3.

The support unit 2 formed by these two supports and the beam member 4 is formed in a gate-like shape with the beam member 4 sandwiched between the two supports 3. This type of support unit 2 has high strength and can stably support the high-position tabletop 1 even if the beam member 4 between the two supports 3 does not protrude outside the supports 3.

As shown in FIG. 2, the low table 300 has a low-position top plate 50. The low table 300 also has a support unit 2 similar to that of the high table 200. The support unit 2 provided on the low table 300 has the same configuration as the support unit 2 provided on the high table 200, except that the support legs 14 of the support body 3 are shorter than those of the high table 200. For this reason, a description of the support unit 2 provided on the low table 300 will be omitted.

The low-position top plate 50 is supported from below by the support unit 2, and the upper surface of the low-position top plate 50 is a top plate that can be used as a work surface. The low-position top plate 50 is formed in a substantially rectangular shape when viewed from above. In the following description, the long side of the low-position top plate 50 is the left-right direction of the low table 300, and the short side of the low-position top plate 50 is the front-rear direction of the low table 300.

As shown in FIG. 2, the outer edge 50a of the low-position tabletop 50 has four straight portions 50b. Two of these four straight portions 50b extend along the left-right direction, and the remaining two extend along the front-rear direction. The outer edge 50a of the low-position tabletop 50 also has four arc-shaped curved portions 50c. Each curved portion 50c is curved so as to bulge outward from the low-position tabletop 50, and connects two straight portions 50b that extend in different directions.

The low-position tabletop 50 has rounded corners 50d, each of which has straight sections 50b extending in different directions and a circular-arc curved section 50c connecting the straight sections 50b. Such corners 50d are provided at each of the four corners of the low-position tabletop 50, which is formed in a rectangular shape. At each corner 50d, the straight sections 50b and the curved sections 50c are smoothly connected without forming a bent section.

Since there is no bent portion at the corner 50d of the low-position tabletop 50, when working in an area including the corner 50d from the side of the low-position tabletop 50, the bent portion does not get in the way of the work. Therefore, the worker can work comfortably on the top surface of the low-position tabletop 50 from any direction relative to the corner 50d.

The left and right ends of the low-position tabletop 50 are provided so as to protrude outward from the support body 3 (described later) of the support unit 2. In this embodiment, the left and right ends of the low-position tabletop 50 are provided so as to protrude outward from the support body 3 to a degree that allows the lower legs of the worker to be accommodated even when the worker is in a seated position.

In the furniture display system 100 of this embodiment, the low table 300 is placed with a portion of it housed below the high-position top plate 1 of the high table 200. In this case, the low table 300 and the high table 200 are not connected. Such a low table 300 can be rotated in a plan view with a portion of it housed below the high-position top plate 1, within a range that does not interfere with the support unit 2 of the high table 200. Therefore, the low table 300 can be placed by freely adjusting the angle relative to the high table 200 in a plan view.

The above-described furniture system 100 includes a low table 300 and a high table 200. The low table 300 includes a low-position top plate 50. The high table 200 includes a high-position top plate 1, the lower surface of which is positioned higher than the upper surface of the low-position top plate 50, and a support unit 2 that supports the high-position top plate 1. The support unit 2 includes a pair of supports 3 and a beam member 4. The pair of supports 3 are positioned opposite each other and spaced apart in the horizontal left-right direction. The beam member 4 is connected to one support 3 at one end and to the other support 3 at the other end, and is formed in a straight line that is positioned higher than the upper surface of the low-position top plate 50 and supports the high-position top plate 1 from below. The end of the high-position top plate 1 in the left-right direction is provided to protrude outward in the left-right direction from the support 3.

The furniture display system 100 of this embodiment includes a low table 300 having a relatively low-height low-position top plate 50, and a high table 200 having a relatively high-height high-position top plate 1. The underside of the high-position top plate 1 is positioned higher than the upper surface of the low-position top plate 50. Therefore, in this embodiment of the furniture display system 100, it is possible to position the low table 300 so that a portion of it is accommodated below the high table 200.

In other words, in the furniture system 100 of this embodiment, a part of the low table 300 can be stored under the high table 200, and the exposed part of the low-position top plate 50 can be used as a work surface. In this way, the furniture system 100 of this embodiment allows the low table 300 and the high table 200 to be laid out in a partially overlapping state, which increases the degree of freedom in the layout of the furniture with top plates compared to when the furniture with top plates cannot be laid out in a partially overlapping state. Therefore, the furniture system 100 of this embodiment allows the degree of freedom in the layout of the furniture with top plates to be improved in a furniture system having multiple furniture with top plates. In addition, the furniture system 100 of this embodiment allows the high table 200 to be used by the worker in a standing position, and the low table 300 to be used by the worker in a seated position. In other words, the furniture system 100 of this embodiment allows workers who work in different positions to work in the same space.

Furthermore, in the furniture system 100 of this embodiment, the ends of the beam members 4 are connected to the supports 3. In other words, the beam members 4 are disposed between a pair of supports 3, and do not protrude from between the pair of supports 3 to the outside of the supports 3. Such a support unit 2 has a gate-like shape with the beam members 4 sandwiched between the two supports 3, and is strong and can stably support the high-position tabletop 1.

In addition, in the furniture system 100 of this embodiment, the ends of the high-position tabletop 1 in the left-right direction are provided so as to protrude outward beyond the support 3. Therefore, the furniture system 100 of this embodiment can form a large space below the end of the high-position tabletop 1 where the beam member 4 is not arranged. In addition, if the low table 300 and the high table 200 are arranged close to each other, it is possible that the lower end of the high position 1 will be within the field of view of an office worker using the low table 300 in a seated position. Even in such a case, the furniture system 100 of this embodiment can prevent the beam member 4 from entering the field of view of an office worker viewing the end of the high-position tabletop 1. Therefore, the furniture system 100 can have a good appearance.

Therefore, according to the fixture system 100 of this embodiment, in a fixture system having multiple fixtures with tabletops, it is possible to improve the freedom of layout of the fixtures with tabletops and ensure a large space below the fixtures with tabletops.

In addition, in the furniture system 100 of this embodiment, the high table 200 is provided with a pair of supports 3 that are spaced apart in the left-right direction and support the high-position top plate 1, with the inner wall surfaces 14a facing each other. In addition, the low-position top plate 50 is disposed between one support 3 and the other support 3 of the high table 200.

According to the furniture display system 100 of this embodiment, the low-position tabletop 50 is disposed between the supports 3 of the high table 200, so that the low-position tabletop 50 can be prevented from protruding from the end of the high-position tabletop 1 in a plan view. Therefore, according to the furniture display system 100 of this embodiment, the low-position tabletop 50 is prevented from interfering with the use of the end of the high-position tabletop 1, and the end of the high-position tabletop 1 can be effectively utilized.

In the furniture display system 100 of this embodiment, the high table 200 includes a pair of supports 3. The pair of supports 3 are arranged horizontally spaced apart, with the inner wall surfaces 14a facing each other to support the high-position top board 1. The supports 3 extend downward from the lower surface of the high-position top board 1. The inner wall surface 14a of the supports 3 is formed as an inclined surface that slopes downward in a direction away from the other support 3.

According to the furniture system 100 of this embodiment, the inner wall surface 14a of the support 3 is inclined so that it moves away from the other support 3 as it moves downward. Therefore, compared to when the inner wall surface 14a of the support 3 is perpendicular to the underside of the high-position tabletop 1, it is possible to make the space between the supports 3 wider as it moves downward.

By expanding the space between the supports 3 downward in this way, it is possible to ensure a wide rotation range of the low table 300 relative to the high table 200 in a plan view when part of the low table 300 is stored below the high position top board 1. The lower the height of the low position top board 50 relative to the high position top board 1, the wider the rotation range of the low table 300 relative to the high table 200 in a plan view. According to the furniture system 100 of this embodiment, it is possible to widen the rotation range of the low table 300 relative to the high table 200 in a plan view, thereby further improving the freedom of layout of furniture with tabletops.

In addition, in the furniture system 100 of this embodiment, the support 3 includes a beam member connection portion 21, a pair of upper arms 11, and a support leg portion 14. The beam member connection portion 21 is connected to a beam member 4 that connects the supports 3 to each other. The pair of upper arms 11 extend from the beam member connection portion 21 in a direction away from the other support 3, and are arranged in a horizontal direction perpendicular to the direction in which the supports 3 are separated. In addition, the pair of upper arms 11 move away from each other in the arrangement direction as they move away from the beam member connection portion 21. The support leg portion 14 extends downward from the lower portion of each upper arm 11.

According to the furniture system 100 of this embodiment, the distance between the pair of upper arms 11 increases as they move away from the beam member connection part 21 to which the beam member 4 is connected. In other words, the pair of upper arms 11 are extended so that they widen as they move away from the beam member connection part 21. This ensures a wide distance between the support legs 14 extending downward from the lower part of each of these upper arms 11, thereby stably supporting the load from the high-position tabletop 1. It also becomes possible to widen the space between the upper arms 11, making it possible to expand the lower leg space for workers near the end of the high-position tabletop 1.

In addition, according to the furniture system 100 of this embodiment, as described above, the support legs 14 can stably receive the load from the high-position tabletop 1, and the high-position tabletop 1 can be stably supported. Therefore, the beam member connection part 21 to which the beam member 4 is connected can be positioned close to the center position in the direction of separation between the support legs 14 of the high-position tabletop 1. Furthermore, the beam member 4 connecting the two supports 3 can be positioned close to the center position in the direction of separation between the support legs 14 of the high-position tabletop 1. In other words, according to the furniture system 100 of this embodiment, it is possible to position the beam member 4 away from the outer edge 1a of the high-position tabletop 1. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the beam member 4 from giving a feeling of oppression to the worker working near the outer edge 1a of the high-position tabletop 1.

In addition, in the furniture system 100 of this embodiment, the low table 300 also has a support unit 2, similar to the high table 200, as described above. Therefore, in the low table 300, similar to the high table 200, it is possible to position the beam member (not shown) away from the outer edge 50a of the low-position tabletop 50. This makes it possible to prevent the beam member from giving a feeling of oppression to workers working near the outer edge 50a of the low-position tabletop 50.

In addition, in the fixture system 100 of this embodiment, the support legs 14 connected to one upper arm 11 and the support legs 14 connected to the other upper arm 11 are inclined so that they approach each other as they go downward.

According to the furniture system 100 of this embodiment, the support legs 14 approach each other as they move downward, so the support body 3 narrows downward. This makes it possible to expand the space below the high-position tabletop 1 outside the support legs 14 compared to when the support legs 14 extend vertically downward without being tilted.

By expanding the space below the high-position tabletop 1 outside the support legs 14 in this way, it is possible to ensure a wide rotation range of the low table 300 relative to the high table 200 in a plan view when part of the low table 300 is stored below the high-position tabletop 1. The lower the height of the low-position tabletop 50 relative to the high-position tabletop 1, the wider the rotation range of the low table 300 relative to the high table 200 in a plan view. According to the furniture system 100 of this embodiment, it is possible to widen the rotation range of the low table 300 relative to the high table 200 in a plan view, thereby further improving the freedom of layout of furniture with tabletops.

In the furniture display system 100 of this embodiment, the support body 3 includes a grounding portion 15 that connects the lower ends of the support legs 14 together and can be grounded to the floor surface. According to the furniture display system 100 of this embodiment, the lower ends of the support legs 14 are connected together by the grounding portion 15. This improves the rigidity of the support body 3. This makes it possible to more stably support the high-position tabletop 1.

In addition, in the furniture system 100 of this embodiment, the support legs 14 are formed in a plate shape with the vertical direction as the length direction and the direction perpendicular to the vertical direction as the width direction. According to the furniture system 100 of this embodiment, since the support legs 14 are formed in a plate shape, the cross-sectional area of the support legs 14 is increased compared to rod-shaped support legs 14, and it is possible to distribute and receive the load from the high-position tabletop 1. This makes it possible to reduce the load on the support legs 14. Furthermore, it is possible to form a wide space between the support legs 14 with the width direction of the support legs 14 as the depth direction. This makes it possible to use the space between the support legs 14 as storage space.

In addition, in the fixture system 100 of this embodiment, the support body 3 is provided with a removable cover body 30 that blocks the space between one support leg 14 and the other support leg 14. According to the fixture system 100 of this embodiment, the cover body 30 can block the space between the support legs 14. This makes it possible to prevent the opposite side of the support body 3 from being seen by someone from the outside through the space between the support legs 14.

In addition, in the furniture display system 100 of this embodiment, the support body 3 is provided with a support plate 22 that is disposed between one upper arm 11 and the other upper arm 11 and supports the high-position tabletop 1 from below. According to the furniture display system 100 of this embodiment, the support plate 22 makes it possible to increase the contact area between the support body 3 and the high-position tabletop 1, and to increase the area that receives the load from the high-position tabletop 1. This makes it possible for the support body 3 to support the high-position tabletop 1 more stably than, for example, when only the upper arm 11 contacts the high-position tabletop 1.

In addition, in the furniture system 100 of this embodiment, the beam member 4 extends linearly from the beam member connection portion 21 of one support 3 to the beam member connection portion 21 of the other support 3 and supports the high-position tabletop 1 from below.

According to the furniture system 100 of this embodiment, a straight beam member 4 is used as a connecting member that connects the supports 3 together. This allows the supports 3 to be connected over the shortest distance possible, making it possible to reduce the size of the connecting member and minimize the amount of material required to form it. This makes it possible to prevent the connecting member from interfering with the work of the office staff.

In addition, in the furniture display system 100 of this embodiment, the outer edge 50a of the low-position tabletop 50 has two straight sections 50b extending in different directions and an arc-shaped curved section 50c connecting the straight sections 50b. According to the furniture display system 100 of this embodiment, a corner section 50d having an arc-shaped curved section 50c is provided on the outer edge 50a of the low-position tabletop 50.

Since such corners 50d do not have any bent portions in plan view, work can be easily performed from any direction. Therefore, according to the furniture display system 100 of this embodiment, no matter how the low table 300 is rotated relative to the high table 200 in plan view, work can be easily performed at the corners 50d of the low-position tabletop 50. In other words, according to the furniture display system 100 of this embodiment, it is possible to further improve the freedom of layout of furniture display with tabletops.

In addition, in the furniture display system 100 of this embodiment, the outer edge 1a of the high-position tabletop 1 has two straight sections 1b that extend in different directions and an arc-shaped curved section 1c that connects the straight sections 1b. According to the furniture display system 100 of this embodiment, a corner 1d having an arc-shaped curved section 1c is provided on the outer edge 1a of the high-position tabletop 1.

Since such corners 1d do not have any bent portions in plan view, work can be easily performed from any direction. Therefore, according to the furniture display system 100 of this embodiment, no matter how the low table 300 is rotated relative to the high table 200 in plan view, work can be easily performed at the corners 1d of the high-position tabletop 1. In other words, according to the furniture display system 100 of this embodiment, it is possible to further improve the freedom of layout of furniture display with tabletops.

In addition, in the furniture display system 100 of this embodiment, the underside of the high-position tabletop 1 and the upper surface of the low-position tabletop 50 are separated by a space. According to the furniture display system 100 of this embodiment, a space is formed between the low-position tabletop 50 and the high-position tabletop 1. Therefore, it is possible to effectively use the space between the low-position tabletop 50 and the high-position tabletop 1 as, for example, storage space S.

Second Embodiment
Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. In the description of this embodiment, the description of the same parts as those of the first embodiment will be omitted or simplified.

Figure 12 is a side view of the high table 201 provided in the furniture display system of this embodiment. Also, Figure 13 is an exploded perspective view of the high table 201 provided in the furniture display system of this embodiment. As shown in these figures, in this embodiment, the support unit 2 of the high table 201 is provided with an intermediate support body 5.

In this embodiment, the high-position tabletop 1 is formed to have a larger dimension in the left-right direction than the high-position tabletop 1 in the first embodiment. Therefore, the high-position tabletop 1 is formed so that it can be divided into three parts in the left-right direction.

The intermediate support 5 is a support that supports from below the center portion of the high-position tabletop 1, which can be divided into three parts. The intermediate support 5 is located midway through the beam member 4 that connects one support 3 to the other support 3, and is connected to the beam member 4. In other words, in this embodiment, each beam member 4 is divided into two parts, and the intermediate support 5 is positioned so that it is sandwiched between these parts.

The intermediate support 5 has an intermediate beam member connection part 51 and an intermediate support leg part 52. The intermediate beam member connection part 51 supports the high-position tabletop 1 from below, and has two mounting parts 51a protruding from each of the left and right sides. These mounting parts 51a are the parts to which the beam member 4 is directly fixed.

The intermediate support leg 52 extends downward from the intermediate beam member connection portion 51, and is a leg whose lower end comes into contact with the floor surface. This intermediate support leg 52 has an intermediate wall surface 52a facing each support 3. In other words, the intermediate support leg 52 has an intermediate wall surface 52a facing one support 3 and an intermediate wall surface 52a facing the other support 3.

These intermediate wall surfaces 52a are formed as inclined surfaces that move away from the opposing support 3 as they go downward. In other words, the intermediate wall surface 52a facing the left support 3 is formed as an inclined surface that moves toward the right, which is a direction that moves away from the left support 3 as it goes downward. The intermediate wall surface 52a facing the right support 3 is formed as an inclined surface that moves toward the left, which is a direction that moves away from the right support 3 as it goes downward.

In this way, the intermediate wall surface 52a is an inclined surface that faces away from the opposing support 3, so that the space between the support 3 and the intermediate support 5 expands in the left-right direction as it moves downward. Therefore, the space between the support 3 and the intermediate support 5 expands compared to when the intermediate wall surface 52a is a vertical surface.

In the furniture display system of this embodiment, the space between the support 3 and the intermediate support 5 widens downward, making it possible to ensure a wide rotation range of the low table 300 relative to the high table 200 in a plan view when part of the low table 300 is stored below the high-position top board 1. The lower the height of the low-position top board 50 relative to the high-position top board 1, the wider the rotation range of the low table 300 relative to the high table 200 in a plan view. According to the furniture display system 100 of this embodiment, the rotation range of the low table 300 relative to the high table 200 in a plan view can be widened, further improving the freedom of layout of the furniture display with a top board.

The above describes a preferred embodiment of the present invention with reference to the attached drawings, but it goes without saying that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. The shapes and combinations of the components shown in the above embodiment are merely examples, and various modifications can be made based on design requirements, etc., without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

For example, in the above embodiment, a configuration has been described in which a part of the low table 300 is accommodated between one support 3 and the other support 3 of the high table 200. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, it is also possible to adopt a configuration in which the low table 300 is accommodated below the high-position top board 1, outside the support 3 of the high table 200.

In the above embodiment, the surface of the support 3 opposite the inner wall surface 14a is also inclined in the same manner as the inner wall surface 14a. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the surface of the support 3 opposite the inner wall surface 14a may be a vertical surface.

In the above embodiment, a configuration in which two beam members 4 are provided has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, it is also possible to adopt a configuration in which there is one beam member 4 or three or more beam members 4. Also, instead of the straight beam members 4, it is also possible to adopt a configuration in which the supports 3 are connected to each other by connecting members of different shapes.

It is also possible to adopt a configuration that includes components installed in the storage space S between the high-position tabletop 1 and the low-position tabletop 50. For example, it is also possible to adopt a configuration in which a power strip is installed in the storage space S. Such a power strip can be fixed to the underside of the high-position tabletop 1, for example.

In the above embodiment, a configuration has been described in which a beam member is used as the tabletop support member. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a rod-shaped member or a plate-shaped member can be used as the tabletop support member.
