  4 and 5 are a perspective view and a cross-sectional view showing a mounting structure between the horizontal beam and the support member. 6A and 6B are explanatory views showing a state in which the positioning member is attached to the positioning plate. FIG. 6A is a front view, and FIG. 6B is a cross-sectional view taken along line XX in FIG. . FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view showing a state in which the top plate is fixed to the support member.

  First, the configuration and operation of the positioning member 5 will be described with reference to FIGS. The positioning member 5 regulates the engagement convex portion 5a that engages with the engagement hole 3a of the positioning plate 3 and the movement of the support member 2 in the longitudinal direction of the positioning plate 3 (see arrow A in FIG. 6). A movement restricting portion 5b is provided. That is, when the engaging projection 5 a of the positioning member 5 is engaged with the engaging hole 3 a, the positioning member 5 is restricted from moving in the longitudinal direction with respect to the positioning plate 3. Therefore, in a state where the engagement convex portion 5a of the positioning member 5 is engaged with the specific engagement hole 3a located at the positioning position of the support member 2 in the engagement holes 3a. When the support member 2 is attached to the horizontal beam 1b, the movement restricting portion 5b of the positioning member 5 restricts the movement of the support member 2 in the longitudinal direction, so that the positioning of the horizontal beam 1b and the support member 2 is It is surely made accurately and easily. In this way, workability in assembly or layout change can be improved.

  Moreover, in this Embodiment, the engagement convex part 5a of the positioning member 5 is made into the planar view substantially U-shaped board like FIG.6 (b). In addition, the movement restricting portion 5b of the positioning member 5 is stepped down from the U-shaped plate and extends in the longitudinal direction of the positioning plate 3 (see arrow A in FIG. 6). The front and rear contact plates 10 and 10, and contact plates 11 and 11 that stand up from the end of the contact plate in a direction perpendicular to the positioning plate 3 and contact the side surface of the support member 2. Therefore, the positioning of the support member 2 can be performed more easily by the positioning member 5 having such a simple configuration. Further, since the positioning member 5 has a simple configuration, the positioning member 5 can be formed by sheet metal processing, resin molding processing, or the like, so that cost reduction can be achieved. Furthermore, since only the contact plates 11 and 11 are visible from the outside in the positioning member 5, the aesthetic appearance is not impaired. Furthermore, since the contact plates 11 and 11 have a substantially semicircular shape (see, for example, FIGS. 4 and 5), it is possible to reduce the portion visible from the outside.

  Next, a structure for attaching the support member 2 to the horizontal beam 1b will be described. In the horizontal beam 1b, the positioning plate 3 is provided between the downward groove 9a formed on the lower side of the upper horizontal groove 8a and the upward groove 9b formed on the upper side of the lower horizontal groove 8b.

  The support member 2 is attached to the positioning plate 3 such that the side surface of the support member 2 is positioned between the contact plates 11 of the positioning member 5. That is, by inserting the bolt 15 from the bolt hole 12 of the receiving block 2a and screwing it into the screw hole 14 of the fixing block 2b, the receiving block 2a and the fixing block 2b are pulled and fixed in the vertical direction to thereby fix the support member 2. Is attached between the contact plates 11 of the horizontal beam 1b of the leg 1. In this way, with the hook-like engagement pieces of the receiving block 2a and the fixed block 2b engaged with the horizontal grooves 8a and 8b of the horizontal beam 1b, the receiving block 2a side, that is, the upper side receives the bolt 15 from the upper side. Since the block 2a and the fixed block 2b can be fixed, assembly workability can be improved. In addition, the structure which inserts the volt | bolt 15 from the fixed block 2b side and performs the said fixation can also be employ | adopted.

  In this way, the support member 2 is formed in the longitudinal direction of the horizontal beam 1b (positioning plate) by the plurality of engagement holes 3a... Having the same shape formed in the longitudinal direction of the side surface of the positioning plate 3 and the positioning member 5. 3) (see arrow A in FIGS. 1 and 6), the mounting position can be varied in the longitudinal direction, and the positioning can be performed accurately and easily. Therefore, the degree of freedom in configuring the desk or panel system and the reliability of the configured desk or panel system can be improved. Further, since the plurality of engagement holes 3a ... formed in the positioning plate 3 have the same shape, the positioning members 5 ... can be shared.

Even in a state where the member 5 is mounted, the support member 2 can be freely attached to or detached from the horizontal beam 1b. Furthermore, as can be seen from the cross-sectional shape of the horizontal beam 1b in FIG. 5, the support member 2 can be attached to both side surfaces in the longitudinal direction of the horizontal beam 1b, that is, both sides of the leg 1. However, the horizontal beam 1b is not limited to the configuration in which the upper horizontal groove 8a and the lower horizontal groove 8b are formed on both side surfaces thereof as in the cross-sectional shape of FIG. 5, and the upper horizontal groove 8a is formed only on one of the side surfaces. And the lower horizontal groove 8b may be formed and the support member 2 may be attached. As can be seen from the cross-sectional shape of the horizontal beam 1b in FIG. 5, the upper and lower surfaces of the horizontal beam 1b cover the upper and lower portions of the upper horizontal groove 8a and the lower horizontal groove 8b. Since the entire 8b is not exposed, the structure can be improved.

  In this way, the top plate 101 is placed on the support members 2... Positioned and attached to the horizontal beam 1 b of the leg 1. Then, as shown in FIG. 7, from the lower side of the top plate 101, the bolts 16 are inserted through the bolt holes 13 of the receiving block 2a and screwed into the screw holes formed on the bottom surface of the top plate 101. The support member 2 can be fixed. The top plate 101 and the support member 2 may be fixed using wood screws instead of the bolts 16.
