Description

The present invention relates to a booth that can be used in offices, public facilities, etc., for personal office work or tasks.

In offices, public facilities, etc., booths are known that are used to create spaces for personal office work or tasks, and are comprised of a pair of side panels and a front panel connecting the ends of the side panels (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

Inside the booth, a tabletop is placed along the front panel and the left and right side panels, creating a space where users seated facing the tabletop can concentrate on their work or tasks without being distracted by their surroundings.

Patent No. 4804939

By the way, the use of mobile devices is essential for the work and tasks performed in such booths. However, the booth in Patent Document 1 does not provide any space for setting up mobile devices, which is inconvenient as there is no place to stably set up a mobile device when conducting web conferences, etc.

Furthermore, even if you manage to install a mobile device in a creative way, the opening on the back side of the booth serves as the entrance and exit to the space inside the booth, and because this opening is completely open, you will be concerned about people looking at you from behind, and the person you are communicating with will be able to easily see what is happening outside the booth.

The present invention was developed with these issues in mind, with the aim of realizing a new booth that allows mobile devices to be used appropriately within the booth space.

To achieve this objective, the present invention takes the following measures:

In other words, the booth of the present invention is based on the premise that it comprises a booth main panel that has an opening in part for users to enter and exit and forms a living space inside, and a top plate that is placed along the inner panel surface of the booth main panel, with a mobile terminal installation section positioned along the panel surface in the direction in which a user seated facing the top plate faces, and a back panel that closes part of the opening on the opposite side of the mobile terminal installation section at a position that will be behind the user.

This configuration makes it difficult for people passing behind to see the screen of the mobile device or the space inside the booth, and also provides a shielding effect that makes it difficult for the other party communicating with the mobile device to see what is happening outside the booth, allowing users to attend to web conferences and other office work without worrying about people looking at them from behind.

Based on the above premise, the present invention is characterized in that the rear panel is positioned diagonally relative to the front panel that constitutes the main booth panel so that it is approximately parallel to the screen of the mobile device installed in the mobile device installation section, in order to optimize the shooting distance from the mobile device to the rear panel and make it easier for users to move between them.

Based on the above premise, the present invention provides a preferred form of a mobile terminal installation section that is a leaning type and has a recess to prevent the mobile terminal from tipping over, and is characterized in that the mobile terminal installation section has a triangular upper surface and a groove along one side of the upper surface as a recess for holding the mobile terminal, the top surface is positioned so that the apex of the triangle is above the top plate, at the far end on either the left or right side of the top plate or near the corner formed by the front panel and side panel that make up the booth main panel, and the groove is positioned so that it is aligned with the user side .

Based on the above premise, the present invention is characterized in that the mobile terminal installation section is installed using a duct or bracket extending vertically along the inner surface of the booth main panel as a suitable installation structure.

With the configuration described above, the present invention can provide a new booth that allows mobile devices to be used appropriately within the booth space.

Figure 8 is a diagram showing an example of a booth unit formed by combining the first booth and second booth.

The first booth 1 and second booth 2 can be used independently, or they can be used by arranging the second booth 2 adjacent to the first booth 1, as shown in Figures 8(a) and 8(b).

The first booth 1 shown in Figures 1 to 4 is primarily comprised of a booth main body panel 10, which includes a pair of opposing side panels 11, 12 and a front panel 13 connected between one end 11a, 12a of these side panels 11, 12. The overall booth is U-shaped in plan view, making it self-standing and forming an interior booth space S1 that serves as living space. Between the other end 11b, 12b of the side panels 11, 12 is an opening OP1 that allows users to enter and exit the interior booth space S1.

The panel bodies 11P, 12P, and 13P that make up the side panels 11, 12 and front panel 13 are constructed by laminating facing materials to both sides of a lightweight core material such as paper honeycomb and then covering it with upholstery. The front panel 13 is a vertically elongated rectangle. While one end 11a, 12a of the side panels 11, 12 facing the front panel 13 extends vertically, the other end 11b, 12b facing the opening OP1 has a nearly rectangular shape that includes upper end portions 11b1, 12b1 that extend approximately vertically and inclined end portions 11b2, 12b2 that connect below the upper end portions 11b1, 12b1 and slope toward the floor, approaching the front panel 13.

The front panel 13 and side panels 11, 12 are set to the same height, and the pair of side panels 11, 12 are set to the same shape. The thickness dimensions of the front panel 13 and the side panels 11, 12 are the same.

The upper ends 13c-11c and 13c-12c of the butt corners of the front panel 13 and the side panels 11, 12 are connected by fastening bolts 101a using L-shaped connectors 101 in a plan view as simple connecting means. The lower ends 13d-11d and 13d-12d of the butt corners of the front panel 13 and the side panels 11, 12 are connected by fastening bolts 102a using L-shaped connectors 102 in a bottom view as simple connecting means. Adjusters 103, which function as ground contact members and adjust the ground contact height, are attached to two locations, one on the left and one on the right, of the lower end 13d of the front panel 13, and to two locations, one on the front and one on the back, of the lower ends 11d and 12d of the side panels 11, 12.

In the first booth 1, a top panel 14 is arranged along the inner panel surface 10x of the booth main panel 10, which includes a front panel 13 and a pair of side panels 11 and 12. To attach the top panel 14, as shown in FIG. 4, a first bracket 141 is provided at the position connecting the front panel 13 to one of the side panels 11, a second bracket 142 is provided at the position connecting the front panel 13 to the other side panel 12, and a third bracket 143 is provided connected to the side panel 12 at a position close to the usable end 14b of the top panel 14. The corners 14a1 and 14a2 of the top panel 14 on the far end 14a side, as seen from the user, are supported by the first and second brackets 141 and 142, and the corners 14b1 and 14b2 of the top panel 14 on the usable end 14b side are supported by the third brackets 144, and the top panel is fastened with bolts from below.

The first bracket 141 has vertical surfaces 141b and 141c on two sides of a rectangular flat plate 141a, and these vertical surfaces 141b and 141c are fastened using bolts to insert nuts provided on the panel surfaces of the front panel 13 and side panels 11 and 12 (not shown).

The second bracket 142 has vertical surfaces 142b and 142c on two sides of a rectangular flat plate 142a, and these vertical surfaces 142b and 142c are fastened using bolts to insert nuts provided on the panel surfaces of the front panel 13 and side panels 11 and 12 (not shown).

The third bracket 143 has a rectangular flat plate 143a with a vertical surface 143b on one side, and this vertical surface 143b is fastened to an insert nut provided on the panel surface of the side panels 11 and 12 using a bolt (not shown).

By connecting the top panel 14 to the front panel 13 and the pair of side panels 11, 12 in this way, the strength of the booth 1 is ensured.

When the top panel 14 is attached, a gap Δ1 is provided between its rear end 14a and the inner panel surface of the front panel 13, and through-holes 141d and 142d that penetrate vertically are provided in the corners of the flat plates 141a and 142a of the first and second brackets 141 and 142.

On the other hand, the second booth 2 shown in Figures 5 to 7 mainly consists of a booth main panel 20 including one side panel 21 and a front panel 23 connected to one end 21a of this side panel 21. There is no side panel on the side opposite the side panel 21, leaving an open area 22. Below this open area 22, a leg panel 240 is arranged as a tabletop leg supporting the tabletop 24. The second booth 2 is able to stand on its own as the front panel 23, side panel 21, and leg panel 240 are connected in a U-shape.

This open section 22 can be closed by the side panel 11 of the first booth 1, as shown in Figures 5 and 8(a) and (b), or by the wall W as shown in Figure 8(c), thereby forming a U-shaped booth interior space S2 in plan view, which can be used as living space. The open section 22 of the second booth 2 can also be closed by the side panel 21 of another second booth 2, thereby forming an interior booth space S2.

The space between the other end 21b of the side panel 21 and the other end 11b of the side panel 11 of the first booth 1 (or between the other end 21b of the side panel 21 and the wall W, or between the other end 21b of the side panel 21 and the other end 21b of the side panel 21 of the other second booth 2) can be an opening OP2 for users to enter and exit the booth interior space S.

The panel bodies 23P, 21P, and 240P that make up the front panel 23, side panel 21, and leg panel 240 are constructed by laminating face materials to both sides of a lightweight core material such as paper honeycomb and then covering it with upholstery. The front panel 23 is a vertically elongated rectangle. The side panel 21 has one end 21a on the front panel 23 side that extends approximately vertically, while the other end 21b has a nearly rectangular shape that includes an upper end 21b1 that extends approximately vertically and an inclined end 21b2 that continues below this upper end 21b and slopes toward the front panel 21 as it approaches the floor.

The front panel 23 and side panel 21 are set to the same height. The front dimension of the leg panel 240 is set to be smaller than the front-to-back dimension of the side panel 21. The thickness dimensions of the front panel 23, side panel 21, and leg panel 240 are the same.

The upper ends 23c-21c of the butt corners of the front panel 23 and side panel 21 are connected by fastening bolts 201a using L-shaped connectors 201 in a plan view as a simple connection. The lower ends 23d-21d of the butt corners of the front panel 23 and side panel 21, and the lower ends 23d-240d of the butt corners of the front panel 23 and leg panel 240, are connected by fastening bolts 202a using L-shaped connectors 202 in a bottom view as a simple connection. Adjusters 203, which function as ground contact members and adjust the ground contact height, are attached to two locations on the left and right of the lower end 23d of the front panel 23, two locations on the front and rear of the lower end 21d of the side panel 21, and two locations on the front and rear of the lower end 240d of the leg panel 240.

In the second booth 2, a top panel 24 is arranged along the inner panel surface 20x of the booth main panel 20, which includes a front panel 23 and one side panel 21. The leg panel 240 is arranged on the underside of the top panel, with its outer surface 240s aligned with the side end surface 24s of the top panel 24. To attach the top panel, a first bracket 241 is provided at the position connecting the front panel 23 and the side panel 21, a second bracket 242 is provided at the position connecting the front panel 23 and the leg panel 240, and a third bracket 143 is provided near the use end 24b of the top panel 24, connected to the side panel 21 and the leg panel 240. The corners 24a1 and 24a2 on the inner end 24a side of the tabletop 24, as seen from the user, are supported by first and second brackets 241 and 242, and the corners 24b1 and 24b2 on the usable end 24b side of the tabletop 24 are supported by third brackets 143 and 143 connected to the side panel 21 and leg panel 240, and are bolted from below.

The first bracket 241 has vertical surfaces 241b and 241c on two sides of a rectangular flat plate 241a, and these vertical surfaces 241b and 241c are fastened using bolts to insert nuts provided on the panel surfaces of the front panel 23 and side panel 21 (not shown).

The second bracket 242 has vertical surfaces 242b and 242c on two sides of a rectangular flat plate 142a, and these vertical surfaces 242b and 242c are fastened using bolts to insert nuts provided on the panel surfaces of the front panel 23 and leg panel 240 (not shown).

The third bracket 243 has a rectangular flat plate 243a with a vertical surface 243b on one side, and this vertical surface 243b is fastened to an insert nut provided on the panel surface of the side panel 21 using a bolt (not shown).

By connecting the front panel 23, side panel 21, and leg panel 240 in this way, the strength of the booth 2 is ensured.

When the top plate 24 is attached, a gap Δ2 is provided between its rear end 24a and the inner panel surface of the front panel 23, and through-holes 241d and 242d that penetrate vertically are provided in the corners of the flat plates 241a and 242a of the first and second brackets 241 and 242.

A common panel body is used for the panel bodies 13P and 23P of the front panel 13 of the first booth 1 and the front panel 23 of the second booth 2, and a common panel body is also used for the side panels 11 and 12 of the first booth 1 and the panel bodies 11P, 12P, and 21P of the side panel 11 of the second booth 2. A common face plate is also used for the top panel 14 of the first booth 1 and the top panel 24 of the second booth 2. The first and second brackets 141 and 142 used in the first booth 1 and the first and second brackets 241 and 242 used in the second booth 2 are common. The third bracket 143 used in the first booth 1 and the third bracket 243 used in the second booth 2 are also common.

A rear panel 3 can be attached to the first and second booths 1 and 2 as needed. For example, in the first booth 1 shown in Figure 1, the rear panel 3 is attached to the side panel 21 at a position that extends from the other end 11b opposite the one end 11a connected to the front panel 13 toward a position facing the front panel 13.

The rear panel 3 partially blocks the opening OP1, which serves as an entrance and exit to the booth interior space S1, thereby blocking the view from behind of users using the booth interior space S1. The panel body 3P that makes up the rear panel 3 is a roughly rectangular plate, and is made by bonding face materials to both sides of a lightweight core material such as paper honeycomb, and covering it with upholstery.

The rear panel 3 is attached vertically at one side edge 3a to the other end 11b of one side panel 11 via a fixture 31. In a plan view, the rear panel 3 is attached at an angle away from the front panel 13 as it extends from the other end 11b toward the other side panel 12. The height of the rear panel 3 corresponds to the length of the upper end 11b1 of the other end 11b of the side panel 11. The lower end 3b is positioned above the floor, maintaining the open portion OP1 below the rear panel 3. In this embodiment, the lower end 3b is positioned slightly above the center of the height of the side panel 11. This position is slightly higher than the tabletop surface, ensuring that the seat does not interfere with the rear panel 3 when the chair is inserted or removed. As shown by the phantom lines in Figure 3, the rear panel 3 can also be reattached by attaching one side edge 3a to the other end 12b of the other side panel 12 via the same fixture 31.

In the second booth 2 shown in Figure 5, the rear panel 3 can be attached to the side panel 21 in the same manner using the same mounting fixture 31.

The first and second booths 1 and 2 that make up the booth unit of this embodiment are equipped with optional components such as a shared mobile terminal installation section 4 and lighting fixture mounting device 5 to facilitate office work and operations within the booth spaces S1 and S2. The mobile terminal installation section 4 and lighting fixture mounting device 5 are attached to the front panels 13 and 23 via mounting fixtures 104 and 105, respectively, and are installed independently of the side panels 11, 12, and 21 or the leg panel 240. Reference numeral 6 denotes an optional cup holder, which is fastened together with the brackets 143 and 243 when they are attached to the top panels 14 and 24.

In the diagram, each panel has holes indicating insert nuts, but these holes are covered with upholstery, and when using bolts, they are fastened to the insert nuts by passing them through the upholstery. The holes on the underside of the top plates 14 and 24 are open from the beginning.

As described above, the mobile terminal installation unit 4 in this embodiment, as shown in Figures 9 and 10, is positioned taking into consideration its positional relationship with the user U seated in the booths 1 and 2 and its positional relationship with the rear panel 3, and is structured to allow the mobile terminal M to be stably installed and used.

First, regarding placement, the mobile device installation section 4 is positioned along the panel surface 10x in the direction in which the seated user U faces while facing the top board 14. The positional relationship between the mobile device installation section 4 and the back panel 3 is such that the back panel 3 is located opposite the mobile device installation section 4 and at the back of the user U.

In this embodiment, the mobile terminal installation section 4 is a leaning type, and is installed so that the user U is within the angle of view of the screen m1 when the mobile terminal M is leaned against it. Behind the user U is an opening OP1 (OP2) that leads to the booth space S1 (S2), and a back panel 3 is attached at this position to partially shield the booth space OP1 (OP2) from the outside. This back panel 3 also serves to prevent the background outside the booth from being reflected on the screen of the communication partner via the mobile terminal M. The two dashed lines in Figures 9 and 10 indicate the range of the angle of view of the mobile terminal M where the background is blocked by the back panel 3.

As shown in Figures 2, 4, 5, 7, 9, etc., the mobile device installation section 4 is located above the top panel 14 (24) near the corner 14a2 (24a2), which is the left-hand rear end of the top panel 14 (24), when the top panel 14 (24) is used as the reference. When the booth main panel 10 (20) is used as the reference, the mobile device installation section 4 is located near the left-hand corner C2 of the left and right corners C1, C2 formed by the front panel 13 (24) and the side panels 12, 13 (22, 12). Of course, when the top panel 14 (24) is used as the reference, the mobile device installation section 4 may also be located in the corner 14a1 (24a1) near the right-hand rear end, or when the booth main panel 10 (20) is used as the reference, the mobile device installation section 4 may also be located near the right-hand corner C1. Correspondingly, the rear panel 3 is attached to the right side panel 11 (21) or the left side panel 12 (21) so as to be positioned behind the user U seated facing the mobile terminal installation section 4.

Because of this placement, the mobile terminal M is placed at an angle relative to the front panel 13 (23) in a plan view in order to fit the user U within the angle of view of the screen m1 of the mobile terminal M.

As shown in Figure 9, the rear panel 3 is positioned diagonally relative to the front panel 13 (23) that constitutes the booth main panel 10 (20) so that it is approximately parallel to the screen m1 of the mobile terminal M installed in the mobile terminal installation section 4.

In addition, in the side view shown in Figure 10, the rear panel 3 is positioned so that it is within the angle of view of the screen m1 of the mobile terminal M installed in the mobile terminal installation section 4. The rear panel 3 covers the range in the height direction so that the main body of the user U fits into the image, and does not extend further downward than necessary.

Regarding the structure of the mobile terminal mounting section 4, as shown in Figures 11 and 12, this mobile terminal mounting section is constructed by plastically deforming a metal sheet. Of course, the mobile terminal mounting section 4 may also be molded from resin or the like.

The mobile device installation section 4 has a triangular upper surface 41a of a panel 41 and a recess (groove) 42 for holding a mobile device along one side of the upper surface 41a. The triangle is approximately a right-angled triangle, and the groove 42 runs along the hypotenuse 41b of the right-angled triangle. The apex 41c of the upper surface 41a is positioned above the top plate 14 (24) and near the corners C1 and C2 formed by the front panel 10x (20x) and side panel 12 (23) that make up the booth main panel 10 (20), as shown in Figures 2, 5, 9, etc., and the groove 42 is positioned along the user U side, as shown in Figure 9.

In this embodiment, the mobile terminal M is assumed to be a smartphone. The pair of upright pieces 42a, 42b that make up the recessed groove 42 are set with a spacing and height dimension that allows a commonly available smartphone to be placed upright and stored and held.

When using a tablet as the mobile terminal M, the mobile terminal mounting section may be configured with a corresponding recessed groove, or the tablet may be mounted on the triangular upper surface 41a of the mobile terminal mounting section 4 of this embodiment and leaned against the front panel 13 (23) and side panel 12. Of course, the same applies when the mobile terminal mounting section 4 is positioned on the right side as seen from the user U.

The standing piece 42a closest to the user U has a notched opening 42a1 in the widthwise center. The position of this opening 42a1 corresponds to the position of the home button m2 that most smartphones have when the smartphone is placed in a predetermined widthwise position against the mobile terminal installation section 4, allowing the home button m2 to be operated while the smartphone is placed in a propped-up position.

The base plate 41 is configured on an attachment section 104 for attaching the mobile terminal installation section 4 to a predetermined location. The attachment section 104 has a vertical plate 141 connected to the bottom of the base plate 41. As shown in Figure 12, this vertical plate 141 has an engaging section 141a that is U-shaped in plan view and protrudes from one side edge toward the rear side, and a fastening section 141b that is inverted L-shaped in side view and protrudes from the lower edge toward the rear side. A specially shaped groove 141b1 is provided in the fastening section 141b.

The irregularly shaped groove 141b1 engages with the bolt used to attach the second bracket 142 (242) described with reference to Figures 4 and 7 to the front panel 13 (23) as shown in Figure 13, and the engaging portion 141a engages with and attaches to the duct 51 that rises along the inner surface 10x (20x) of the booth main panel 10 (20). The duct 51 is used to guide the wiring of the lighting fixture mounting device 5, which extends in the width direction and is screwed near both ends to the front panel 13 (23), and the duct 51 is fastened together with the lighting fixture mounting device 5 at that time.

The booth 1 (2) of this embodiment, configured as described above, comprises a booth main panel 10 (20) that has an opening OP1 (OP2) for user U to enter and exit and that forms an interior booth space S1 (S2) serving as a living space inside, and a top plate 14 (24) that is arranged along the inner panel surface 10x (20x) of the booth main panel 10 (20). A mobile terminal installation section 4 is arranged along the panel surface 10x (20x) in the direction in which the user U, seated facing the top plate 14 (24), faces, and a rear panel 3 that closes part of the opening OP1 (OP2) is provided on the opposite side of the mobile terminal installation section 4, at a position that will be the back of the user U.

This configuration makes it difficult for people passing behind to see the screen m1 of mobile device M or the space inside the booth S1 (S2), and also provides a shielding effect that makes it difficult for the other party communicating with mobile device M to see what is happening outside booth 1 (2), allowing user U to carry out work and tasks, including web conferences, without worrying about what is behind them.

Specifically, the mobile device installation section 4 is located above the top panel 14 (24) near either the left or right corner 14a1, 14a2 (24a1, 24a2) at the innermost end of the top panel 14 (24) or near either the left or right corner C1 (C2) of the booth main panel 10 (20), and the rear panel 3 is provided on either the left or right opening edge 11b, 12b (21b, 21b) of the booth main panel 10 (20).

This allows the mobile device M to be placed in a non-obtrusive position on the top panel 14 (24), while also providing the shielding effect of the back panel 3. In particular, since the booth interior spaces S1 and S2 are used at an angle, the limited space can be used effectively.

In addition, the rear panel 3 is positioned diagonally relative to the front panel 13 (23) that constitutes the booth main panel 10 (20) so that it is approximately parallel to the screen m1 of the mobile terminal M installed in the mobile terminal installation section 4.

This ensures that the imaging distance from the mobile terminal M to the rear panel 3 is approximately the same, and the distance from the mobile terminal M to the rear panel 3 does not change significantly, ensuring ease of movement for the user.

In particular, the mobile terminal installation section 4 is a leaning type and has a recess 42 that prevents the mobile terminal M from tipping over. This makes it easy to use with a simple configuration, and it also reliably prevents the mobile terminal M from tipping over. The same effect can be achieved by providing a protrusion instead of a recess.

The mobile device installation section 4 also has a triangular upper surface 41a and a recessed groove 42 for holding a mobile device along one side of the upper surface 41a. The apex 41c of the triangle of the upper surface 41a is located above the top plate 14 (24) and near the corners 14a1, 14a2 (24a1, 24a2) on either the left or right inner end 14 of the top plate 14 (24) or near the corners C1, C formed by the front panel 13 (23) and side panels 11, 12 (21, 12) that make up the booth main panel 10 (20). The recessed groove 42 is positioned along the user U side, so the triangular upper surface 41a and recessed groove 42 also have the effect of increasing the component strength of the mobile device installation section 4.

In addition, the mobile terminal installation section 4 is attached using a duct 51 that extends vertically along the inner surface 10x (20x) of the booth main panel 10 (20), so the mobile terminal installation section 4 can be reliably attached at the required height above the top plate 14 (24) along the duct 51. The duct may also be a bracket.

In addition, while the bottom end of the booth main panel 10 (20) is in contact with the floor, the bottom end 3b of the back panel 3 is attached with the panel positioned higher than the floor, eliminating a feeling of claustrophobia within the booth 1 (2) and ensuring that users U can easily enter and exit the booth interior space S1 (S2). Furthermore, the back panel 3 is lightweight and compact, making it easy to use.

The above describes one embodiment of the present invention, but the specific configuration of each part is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications are possible without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
