BRIEF SUMMARY
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a cabinet for a bedroom, and more specifically, to a unit type bedroom cabinet which is convenient to provide a flophouse facility comprising a number of compartment rooms on the floor of an existing building.
Despite the fact that there are, particularly in cities, a number of persons who desire to temporarily utilize at low charges individual rooms in a flophouse facility requiring no bath room or a flophouse facility for taking a nap, there have been hardly seen hotel owners who provide such flophouse facilities. The reason is that buildings having many small individual rooms are considerably high in building cost and profits obtained for the invested capital are hard to expect. On the other hands, the demand of the above-mentioned flophouse facilities are always high for enterprisers such as railway enterprise having many night workers and public works contractors who employ labors engaging in work for a short period in remote regions. In the past, the enterprisers must bear high building costs or the employees must stay resignedly in unsatisfactory facilities.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a bedroom cabinet which can be carried and used by merely placing it on the floor of the existing building.
In accordance with the present invention, a plurality of bedroom cabinets are aligned and as the case may be, these cabinets can be further stacked to thereby provide a flophouse facility composed of many individual rooms in extremely readily and inexpensive manner.
The bedroom cabinet in accordance with the present invention is in the form of a box comprising six panels, that is, a bottom panel, a ceiling panel, a front panel, a back panel, a left side panel and a right side panel, the front panel being provided with a realtively large window which also serves as an exit. The bottom panel has a mat placed thereon, and either of left and right side panels is formed with an inwardly protruded projection portion which is useful as a backrest when a user sits on the mat. The other side panel is formed with a recessed depressed portion conversely thereto, and the recessed depressed portion has a bottom which is positioned at a level higher than the surface of the mat so that when the user laid on the mat, his legs can be placed thereon. The back panel has a foldable table board hinged to the back panel mounted thereon. Also, in the vicinity of the table board, there is provided a box used for an interphone or a radio receiver. A room lamp is provided at the upper part of the back panel. Another box for accommodating therein a TV receiver is mounted at the upper part of the other side panel opposed to one side panel having a projected portion which is useful as a backrest. A curtain rail is mounted on the window of the front panel so that the window can be closed by the curtain slidably supported on the rail. The front panel and back panel have mounting portions for a ladder to be used by a user for the upper cabinet when these cabinets are stacked. Said mounting portions has a portion depressed inwardly of the cabinet in order to increase a clearance between each step of the ladder and the panel. The mounting portions for the ladder are provided on both the front and back panels because, where passages are provided on both front and back of the cabinet, the exit of the upper cabinet can be of the back of the lower cabinet and where a passage is provided only on the front of the cabinet, the exit of the upper cabinet be on the same side as the lower cabinet.
