Description

Stool that can be assembled{STOOL THAT CAN BE ASSEMBLED}

The present invention relates to a stool that can be assembled, and more specifically, two support members are assembled at right angles with a connecting member in between. The connecting member consists of two pairs of ribs erected in opposite directions and out of phase by 90°, each of which has a tapered end. Due to this feature, the two support members supporting the support plate can be press-fitted into the connection member regardless of seasonal contraction/expansion.

A stool refers to a chair without a back, but these days, it is considered a type of multi-purpose furniture that can be used to place flower pot holders or small items rather than chairs. Recently, the proportion of single-person households has increased among all households, and as consumers value product design and space efficiency, stools of various shapes and materials are being released, and the market is also rapidly changing.

When described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, the basic components of the stool are a support plate 100 and a plurality of leg structures 200. There are leg structures and support plates of various designs depending on the stool, but in the case of conventional stools, when the support plate and leg structure are integrated, they cannot be separated, so they take up a lot of space and are not easy to move and store.

In addition, among conventional stools, if there is a fitting groove between the leg structures and can be assembled by fitting, it is easy to move and store, but shrinkage and expansion of the wood due to changes in temperature and humidity occur between the leg structures and the members connecting them. There is a problem that deformation may occur. Once deformation occurs, even if it returns to the original temperature and humidity, it is difficult to completely return to its pre-deformation state, and thus there are many cases where disassembly and reassembly are difficult.

This is an enlarged drawing showing the connecting member, which is a key element of a stool that can be assembled according to .

The stool that can be assembled according to the present invention largely consists of a support plate 100 and a support portion 200.

The support plate 100 is a part where the user's buttocks come into contact with the stool that can be assembled. There are various shapes, shapes, and colors of the support plate, and there are no special restrictions. The lower connection portion 110 of the support plate 100 is coupled to the first rib 231 of the connecting member 230 after all assembly of the support portion 200 is completed and fixes the support plate so that it does not move after being seated on the support portion. perform its role. According to one embodiment of the present invention, the stool can be used as a multi-purpose furniture on which, in addition to a chair, a flower pot holder, small items, etc. are placed.

The support portion 200 consists of a first body 210, a second body 220, and a connecting member 230.

Referring to Figures 2 and 3, the first body 210 is composed of two legs in contact with the ground and a joint connecting the two legs. The fitting groove 211 at the bottom of the joint of the first body 210 is coupled along the first rib 231 of the connecting member 230, and the inner surface of the fitting groove is connected to the second rib (231) of the connecting member 230. 232) and the connection plate 233 of the connection member 230.

Additionally, the leg structure of the first body 210 is not an '11-character' structure in which two legs extend side by side from the joint, but a structure that extends in a shape that opens to both sides with a certain angle like the lower part of the alphabet 'A'. This is a design to secure the support stability of the entire stool by forming a constant gap between the leg structures of the first body 210.

The material of the first body 210 is preferably wood since the support member of the stool is generally wood, but materials such as plastic, aluminum, and metal are also applicable.

In addition, the first rib 231 of the connecting member 230 is inclined and has a tapered shape in which the distance between a pair of opposing ribs gradually decreases, and the first body 210 is consequently press-fitted into the connecting member 230. and is fixed.

The second body 220 consists of two legs in contact with the ground and a joint connecting the two legs. The fitting groove 221 at the top of the joint of the second body 210 is coupled along the second rib 232 of the connecting member 230, and the inner surface of the fitting groove is connected to the first rib (232) of the connecting member 230. 231) and the connection plate 233 of the connection member 230.

In addition, the leg structure of the second body 220 is not an '11-character' structure like the leg structure of the first body, but is a structure extended in a shape that opens to both sides with a certain angle like the lower part of the alphabet 'A'. This is a design to secure the support stability of the entire stool by forming a constant gap between the leg structures of the second body 220.

The material of the second body 220 is preferably wood since the support member of the stool is generally wood, but materials such as plastic, aluminum, and metal are also applicable.

In addition, the second rib 232 of the connecting member 230 is configured to be inclined and has a tapered shape in which the distance between a pair of opposing ribs gradually decreases, so that the second body 220 is also press-fitted into the connecting member 230 as a result. and is fixed.

In addition, the connecting member 230 has the first rib 231 and the second rib 232 connected to each other around the connecting plate 233 so that the first body 210 and the second body 220 are assembled at right angles. They are set in opposite directions with a phase difference of 90°.

It has a first rib 231 formed as a pair facing each other in one direction and a second rib 232 forming a pair facing each other in a direction perpendicular to the one direction at the lower part of the first rib. A connecting plate 233 connects the rib 231 and the second rib 232.

Accordingly, the connecting member 230 serves to stably maintain the structure of the support unit 200 even if the first body 210 or the second body 220 contracts or expands according to changes in temperature and humidity of the surrounding environment. In particular, when the first body 210 and the second body 220 are made of wood, the role of the connecting member 230 is as the amount of deformation of the support portion 200 is large, such as a gap occurring between the wood due to changes in temperature and humidity. This can be said to be important.

In addition, the first rib 231 of the connecting member 230 is combined with the first body 210 and then combined with the lower connection portion 110 of the pedestal 100 to firmly fix the pedestal 100 and secure the pedestal 100. It is possible to prevent the departure of .

Additionally, the material of the connecting member 230 is basically an injection molded product.

However, the first rib 231 and the second rib 232 of the connecting member 230 have tapered ends, and the first body 210 and the second body 220 are respectively press-fitted and coupled to the connecting member. Since this structure is flexible, elastic members may be used in some cases.

Although the present invention has been described above with reference to various embodiments, it is not limited thereto, and it is natural that anything that can be reasonably interpreted from the scope of the rights of the present invention falls within the scope of the rights of the present invention.
