[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, as the western style of life has taken root, the attractive Hori Kotatsu in winter has become a complete obstacle to other seeds, The usability of the room is significantly reduced.

[0004] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to assemble in a form imitating a "hori kotatsu" on the floor of a room in winter, so that it is not necessary to provide a digging point on the floor and heating is not required. An object of the present invention is to provide a multifunctional furniture set that can be easily disassembled and transformed into a storage shelf, a display cabinet, or the like.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, a multifunctional furniture set according to the present invention has a shape which can be installed on a floor in a rectangular shape in plan view and used as a seat. A set of four stool / cabinet cabinets and a table provided with a heating source for heating, which is installed in the middle of the stool / cabinet arranged in a square shape, is provided. It is preferable to attach a connecting member for connecting the four stool / cabinet cabinets to each other in a square-shaped arrangement so as to be freely detachable. Further, it is preferable that the stool / cabinet is formed in a form that can be stacked in multiple stages, and one of the side end corners is rounded. Further, a foot cabinet may be attached to make the width of the stool / cabinet variable so that it can accommodate tables of different sizes.

[0006]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 shows the main body A of “Hori Kotatsu” assembled from the multifunctional furniture set of the present invention.
Is shown. FIG. 2 shows a state where the table B is mounted on the main body A. C indicated by a temporary wire is a comforter for a kotatsu.

The main body A is assembled by laying a set of four stool / cabinet units 10 of the same shape on a floor in a rectangular shape in plan view. Each stool / cabinet 10 is a horizontally elongated rectangle, and the same bottom plate 11 and top plate 12 having rounded front corners at one side end, a rectangular back plate 13, and two square side plates 14. And 15 to form a cabinet having an open outer surface.

As shown in FIG. 1, after two side plates, the side plate 14 is located at the left end of the cabinet, and the side plate 15 is located at a predetermined distance from the right end of the cabinet. Thus, a corner shelf 16 without a door is formed on the right end side of the cabinet. Then, both side plates 14,
A pair of doors 18, 18 are provided on the front surface of the storage unit 17 formed between the pair of doors 15 in a double-opening manner.

[0009] A cushion material, for example, felt, may be attached to the bottom surface of the stool / cabinet 10 to prevent rattling or damage.

[0010] This multifunctional furniture set includes "Hori Kotatsu"
In the case of using as the stool, four connecting members 20 are attached so that the four stool / cabinet cabinets 10 are firmly fixed to each other in a square-shaped arrangement. As shown in FIG. 5, the connecting member 20 of this embodiment is formed of a cylindrical body having a fan-shaped cross section, and its height dimension is slightly lower than the height of the stool / cabinet 10. Each connecting member 20
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 5, four stool / cabinet cabinets 10 are arranged in a rectangular shape on the floor surface, and the four stool / cabinet cabinets 10 are applied to the four inner corners, respectively, by means of screws. 1
3 to be detachably fixed.

The table B is of a short table type having short legs, and each of the four legs b has an assembled main body A.
The arrangement interval and the thickness of the four connecting members 20 are set so as to be placed exactly on the respective top surfaces. Although not shown, an electric heater as a heating source for heating is attached to the lower surface of the top plate of the table B, similarly to the existing “electric kotatsu yagura”.

Next, a description will be given of how to use the multifunctional furniture set as a "hoat kotatsu" which can be assembled and disassembled. First, as shown in FIG. 1, four stool / cabinet cabinets 10 are placed on a floor such as a living room in a rectangular shape. Then, as described above, if the arrangement state is firmly fixed using the four connecting members 20 and the screws, the main body A of the “Hori Kotatsu” can be easily assembled. At this time, the bottom surface of each connecting member 20 matches the bottom surface of the stool / cabinet 10.

A rectangular parallelepiped recess S of the assembled main body A, which is surrounded by the four stool / cabinet cabinets 10, has a function corresponding to a dug portion provided on a part of the floor surface of the conventional "Hori Kotatsu". Will be fulfilled. In this case, each top plate 12 of each stool / cabinet 10 serves as a seat for sitting down, and the occupant drops his / her feet into the dent S.

Next, as shown in FIG. 2, a table B in the shape of a table is placed on the main body A. At this time, four legs b
Is placed on each of the top surfaces of the four connecting members 20. Since the top surfaces are slightly lowered from the top surface of the main body A (the upper surface of the top plate 12) as shown in FIG. The table B is securely shifted.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 2, a quilt C for a kotatsu is put on the table B with the electric heater, and a cushion such as a cushion is placed on each top plate 12, although not shown. If you put a cushion on it, it will be ready for use as a "Hori Kotatsu".

In the season when "Hori Kotatsu" is not required, four stool / cabinet 1
It can be easily and quickly disassembled into 0 and table B. Then, the four unnecessary stool / cabinet cabinets 10 may be stacked in two stages as shown in FIG. 3 or in four stages as shown in FIG. It can be conveniently used as a storage cabinet for familiar items such as newspapers, magazines, and toys, and as a display cabinet.

FIG. 6 shows another embodiment of the connecting member 20. The connecting member 20 of this embodiment is composed of a combination of an angle member 20A as a connecting fitting and a pair of fixing rails 20B, 20B fixed to the stool / cabinet 10 side. The length of the angle material 20A is slightly shorter than the height of the stool / cabinet 10, and a bent piece c for mounting the leg b of the table B is continuously provided at the top end.

As can be seen from FIG.
At each of the four corners, each set of fixing rails 20B fixed to the back surface of each back plate 13 with screws is provided with a locking groove d for locking both longitudinal edges of the angle material 20A. .
Therefore, by simply inserting both edges of the angle material 20A into the respective locking grooves d of the set of fixing rails 20B, the orthogonally adjacent stool / cabinet 10, 10 is connected to each other by almost one-touch operation. I can do it. When disassembling the main body A, the angle material A may be simply extracted.

The connecting member 20 of this embodiment can also be used as a stopper between the cabinets when the stool cabinet 10 is stacked in multiple stages as shown in FIG.

Next, FIG. 7 shows a main body A incorporating two extension cabinets 30 for changing the width of the stool / cabinet 10 so as to be adaptable to a table B of a different size. Is shown.

In this case, in order for the top plate to correspond to the rectangular table B, a pair of stool / cabinet 10 located opposite each other is provided with a joint having a required lateral width at one side end thereof. The foot cabinet 30 is detachably connected by using a connection fitting 40 indicated by a virtual line. The connection fitting 40 can be appropriately selected and used from various types of commercially available ones.

In the above configuration, the object of the present invention can be achieved even if the detailed structure is appropriately changed in design. For example,
Needless to say, the design of the stool / cabinet 10 and the dimensional ratio of each part are not limited to the illustrations, and may be changed as appropriate according to the age group of the user. Also, as the connecting member 20, a well-known connecting structure such as a connecting structure having ants and a dovetail groove may be appropriately used.

A detachable cushion mat or a foldable seat chair that covers the entire surface of the top plate 12 of the stool and cabinet 10 may be attached.
