Description

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a moat kotatsu.

Conventional configuration and its problems Recently, a moat kotatsu was proposed in which a pillar was erected in a moat frame, a heating element unit was installed in this pillar, and a ceiling plate receiver was installed on this pillar, which drew the spotlight. ing.

In other words, in this moat kotatsu, as compared with the conventional one in which the top plate receiver was supported by the four legs standing upright on the peripheral edge of the moat frame, the Since there are no legs, this foot can be freely moved in and out from anywhere on the periphery,
It is extremely easy to use.

However, there were problems in the following points.

That is, in the conventional device, a louver unit is attached to the column in order to blow out warm air. However, since each louver of this louver unit extends horizontally and the gap between each louver is narrowed, a fixing tool such as a screw is inserted between the louvers to fix the louver unit to the column. The work to do and the subsequent removal were very difficult.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Therefore, an object of the present invention is to make it possible to easily attach and detach the louver unit.

To achieve this object, according to the present invention, at least a part of the louver of the louver unit is made movable, and the movable louver portion is provided with a locking portion to the column of the louver unit. It is provided.

Description of Embodiments An embodiment will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a moat frame made of wood or the like, and the moat frame 1 has a substantially rectangular horizontal cross section.

Further, as shown in FIG. 2, a peripheral portion of the moat frame 1 is a fixture 2 made of metal or the like having an L-shaped cross section, and is fixed to a large pull 4 of the floor 3 by a fixture such as a screw. .

Further, a wooden gusset 5 is provided on the upper end of the moat frame 1, and a corner cover 6 made of resin or the like is fixed to the corner portion of the moat frame 1 and is curved. Since it is shaped, it does not make you uncomfortable when moving in and out.

The lower end of the corner cover 6 is lowered to the bottom surface of the moat frame 1.

On the other hand, in the center of the bottom plate of the moat frame 1, a pillar 7 made of wood or the like and having a prismatic shape is erected on a leg 8. The leg 8 is formed by combining wooden pieces into a square, and the outer diameter of the leg 8 is smaller than the diameter of the column 7. Then, in this state, the cutout opening edge 9a of the carpet 9 on the bottom surface of the moat frame 1 directly abuts on the outer circumference of the leg 8 as shown in FIG. The peripheral portion is covered.

Next, the heating element unit 10 is housed inside the column 7. The heating element unit 10 is provided with a top plate 12 and a bottom plate 13 on the upper and lower ends of four pillars 11 arranged in a substantially quadrangular shape, and a heat shield reflection plate 14 slightly below the middle part thereof in a substantially horizontal direction. It forms the exterior body. And top plate 12
The infrared heater 16 with the reflector 15 and the sirocco fan 17 driven by the motor 18 are provided between the heat shield and the heat shield reflector 14.
Is provided.

Further, between the top plate 12 and the heat shield reflection plate 14, openings 19 are respectively provided on the outer peripheral four surfaces of the corresponding columns 7, and there are louver units each having a plurality of downward facing louvers in which metal bristles are planted. 20 is mounted as shown in FIG. That is, as shown in FIG. 3, the upper convex portion 20a of the louver unit 20 is fitted and locked in the concave portion 21a of the upper guide 21 of the opening 19 of the column 7 (this has the same effect even if the convex and concave portions are reversed). , And the lower fixed part 2 of the opening 19
The louver unit 20 is fixed to the louver unit 20 with a fixing tool 23 such as a screw. At this time, of the plurality of louvers of the louver unit 20, the lower movable louver 24 is movably locked by the left and right fixing pins 25, and is assembled as shown in FIG. Then, the movable louver 24 can be lifted up and the gap can be widened so that the fixture 23 can be easily operated during inspection and cleaning of the heating element unit 10. After the work is completed, the movable louver 24 is restored to its normal position by its own weight.
By providing the elastic body 26 composed of a coil spring or the like on the periphery of the movable louver 24, the movable louver 24 can be reliably restored.
Even if the movable louver 24 is hit by a foot or the like, the movable louver 2
Since 4 is locked by the elastic body 26, it is not noisy, and since the movable louver 24 does not open easily, it is safe without being pinched or getting in.
In addition, the function of the louver unit 20 as a guide for blowing out warm air is that when the movable louver 24 is in the open state, it is at a position where it blocks the warm air, but it is closed to create a dead zone for the warm air. It is something that can be done.

On the other hand, a top plate support 27, which is made of wood or the like and has a substantially rectangular shape, is fixed to the upper end of the support column 7 (this top plate 27 may be a circle or another polygonal shape). The three members, 1 and the column 7, are integrally fixed by a columnar first fixture 28 and a second fixture 29 that joins the first fixture 28.

The outer edge of the top plate 30 is fitted onto the top of the top plate receiver 27. Also, in winter, as shown in Fig. 2, the top plate 2
A futon 31 is placed between the 7 and the top plate 30 to use a moat kotatsu.

Next, the characteristic portion of this embodiment will be described.

That is, in the present embodiment, the louver unit 20
Since a large number of louvers located in the horizontal direction are provided in the vertical direction and the lower one is the movable louver 24, the louver unit 20 can be easily attached and detached using the louver 24 and the dead area of the warm air can be eliminated. Since it is not made and the movable louver 24 is locked by the elastic body, the safety is high.

EFFECTS OF THE INVENTION As described above, the moat kotatsu of the present invention is capable of warming the feet with heat and hot air generated from the heating element unit provided in the supporting column by the louver unit. Since the louver in the locking portion is movable, the louver unit can be easily attached and detached.
