Definitions

  • the present invention relates to furniture with a screen in which various objects can be placed on the upper face of a main body, and in which a screen, when not in use, can be completely stored inside the main body.
  • Typical of these cabinets and pieces of furniture provided with a screen are large, heavy pieces such as those having upper and lower storage portions with doors, those having storage portions with doors on the left and right sides, and so on, and hence a great deal of labor is required during transportation and movement thereof.
  • a casing or the like in which the screen is rolled and stored is typically provided on the upper end, and since the screen is provided on the upper end, the lower space must be preserved when the screen is in use. Hence the overall size and height of the piece of furniture increases, causing a further increase in weight.
  • the part in which the screen is housed must be caused to protrude forward from the constitutional members of the cabinet (or furniture) so that these constitutional members do not contact the screen when in use.
  • care must be taken during transportation and installation that the storage part does not contact other objects, which is extremely troublesome in terms of handling.
  • the present invention has been designed in consideration of the situation described above, and it is an object thereof to provide a piece of furniture with a screen in which a reduction in weight can be achieved and which is favorable in terms of handling.
  • a screen is rolled up and stored in the interior of the drawer, the screen is constituted to be freely modifiable in attitude between a usage attitude in which the screen stored inside the drawer is raised upward when the drawer is pulled out and a storage attitude in which the screen is rolled up and stored inside the drawer, corner supporting members having a smaller front-back dimension than the front-back dimension of the main body are connected to the respective left and right end portions on the rear side of the main body to support the main body, and support legs comprising a base portion which contacts the ground frontward of the screen in at least the usage attitude thereof are provided on the left/right pair of supporting members, the screen can be set in its usage attitude by pulling the drawer forward using the electric power of an electric motor or the like or using manual power and then raising (pulling) the screen which is rolled up
  • the screen By rolling up the unfurled screen, the screen can be rolled up and stored inside the drawer. Once the screen has been stored, the drawer is pushed into the main body using the electric power of an electric motor or the like or using manual power.
  • a tall main body such as that of a conventional piece of furniture need not be provided, and thus a reduction in weight can be achieved.
  • the main body is supported by corner supporting members with a smaller front-back dimension than that of the main body, and thus a reduction in the weight of the supporting members themselves can be achieved.
  • the supporting member when the supporting member is constituted by a plate-form member formed in a substantially L-shaped form when seen from above which is connected to the main body so as to contact the rear face of the main body on the left and right corner portions and the adjacent side face thereto on either the left or right side, the supporting member can be made thinner and lighter than a member in planar form, and the supporting member can be connected to the main body without the need for gutters.
  • the main body when the main body is constituted in a box shape with an open front face comprising a single space in which the drawer storing the screen can be stored, and when the height of the upper end of the supporting member is set to be substantially equal to the height of the upper end of the main body, further reductions in the size and weight of the main body can be achieved.
  • the upper end of the supporting member is set higher than the upper end of the main body so as to be positioned thereabove, and a fitting portion is provided on the end portion of the respective rear plate portions of the two corner supporting members, a back board can be attached by simply fitting the back board into the fitting portion.
  • the back board may also be used as a board member for attaching a plasma display, liquid crystal display, or similar to the back board.
  • the back board since the back board is positioned rearward, the center of gravity of the entire piece of furniture with a screen does not move greatly forward even when a heavy weight such as the plasma display or liquid crystal display described above is attached to the back board.
  • the interior space formed in the protruding portion can be used as a space for providing a wiring duct to supply power to audio equipment placed on the main body, or as a space for storing a cord for the audio equipment and so on placed on the main body.
  • the present invention by forming a space into which a movable tray for carrying audio equipment can be inserted and stored in the lower portion of the main body, wiring and maintenance work can be performed easily and quickly on the audio equipment placed on the tray in an open area by pulling the tray out of the main body. Once the wiring or maintenance work is complete, the tray can be pushed quickly back into the space in the lower portion of the main body.
  • the present invention by forming tray spaces into which two movable trays for carrying audio equipment can be inserted and stored and a speaker space in which a center speaker can be disposed between the two trays in the lower portion of the main body, audio equipment can be placed on each of the two trays in an open area by pulling the trays out of the lower portion of the main body, and wiring and maintenance work can be performed thereon easily and quickly. Once the wiring or maintenance work is complete, the trays can be pushed quickly back into the space in the lower portion of the main body. Further, by disposing a center speaker between the trays, no special installation space need be provided, and sound or the like can be output from an optimum position in relation to the screen.
  • the tray when the tray is constituted by a carrying portion for carrying audio equipment and a left/right pair of vertical wall portions which rise upward from the left and right end portions of the carrying portion, and the tray is provided with a concave portion formed on the rear face of the carrying portion into which a power outlet for the audio equipment carried on the carrying portion is embedded, the front face and rear face of the tray are both open, and thus operations (including remote control operations) from the front face of the tray, maintenance work, or wiring and maintenance work from the rear face of the tray can be performed easily.
