  • Patent number: 10271640
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a tabletop attached furniture (10, 10A, 10B, 10C) including a plurality of legs (20) which stand on a floor surface (F) and a tabletop (30, 30A, 30B, 30C) supported on the plurality of legs (20), wherein each of the legs (20) is formed so that a width dimension (W1) when viewed from a first direction (X) along an upper surface of the tabletop (30, 30A, 30B, 30C) gradually increases upward from below and a width dimension (W2) when viewed from a second direction (Y) orthogonal to the first direction (X) within a plane following the upper surface of the tabletop gradually increases downward from above.

  • Publication number: 20180153301
    Abstract: A tabletop-equipped article of furniture includes a plurality of legs (120) which uprightly stands on a floor surface (F), a top plate (130) which is supported on the plurality of legs (120), a lower connection member (150) which connects lower end portions (120b) of all of the plurality of legs (120) to each other, and an upper connection member (140) which connects upper end portions (120t) of all of the plurality of legs (120) to each other. Portions (1100A and 1100B) which are recessed toward the inside of the top plate (130) are formed between adjacent legs (120) in a plan view by the lower connection member (150) and the upper connection member (140).

  • Publication number: 20130313884
    Abstract: The invention is capable of maintaining the planar view curve profile of the elastic membranous member of the back-contacting surface while enabling the maintenance of a stable and comfortable seated posture. The side frame members (13C) of a backrest frame (13) are formed substantially as obtuse angles with the bend towards the front when viewed from the side. The upper frame member (13A) is formed, in planar view, as an arc that protrudes towards the back. An elastic membranous member (14) is stretched so that when viewed from the side, the intermediate position curves gently towards the front, substantially forming an obtuse angle. Paired left and right shape-maintaining members (17), each slanting outward and upward, connect the lower frame member (13B) near the left and right sides to the bends (13a) in the left and right side frame members. The lower parts of both the left and right sides of the elastic membranous member are supported by the shape-maintaining members.
