[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a table on which optional parts such as a panel can be attached along a side of a top plate.
[0002]
[Prior art]
2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there has been known a table configured such that a desktop panel, a curtain plate, or a panel that can also be used as these can be attached along each side except the side on the use end side of the top plate. Specifically, such a panel is attached by interposing a bracket on the top plate or legs.
[0003]
In particular, if the panel is attached to the leg so that the panel does not move with the top, the top can be slid back and forth with respect to the leg, for example, with a simple appearance and the top. It is possible to form a wiring insertion opening that can be opened and closed on the side opposite to the side of use of the plate.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, when the leg is in an asymmetrical position with respect to the bisector of the corner of the top plate, such as a T-shaped or L-shaped one, each side adjacent to the corner of the top plate, Since the leg and the distance are different from each other, it is necessary to use brackets having different lengths when mounting the panel at a position equidistant from each side.
[0005]
More precisely, when the legs are asymmetrical with respect to the bisector of the angle formed by the adjacent panels mounted at the predetermined mounting positions, it is necessary to use brackets having different lengths. As a result, different types of brackets are required for each panel, parts cannot be standardized, assembly is complicated, and costs are high, which is undesirable for both manufacturers and consumers. Can occur. This problem is common not only to the panel but also to all optional parts that are mounted along the side of the top plate.
[0006]
In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a table in which optional parts such as panels can be mounted at predetermined mounting positions along the respective sides of the top plate, and each option arranged along adjacent sides. It is an intended problem to be solved to enable parts to be attached using a common attachment structure as much as possible.
[0007]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
That is, the table according to the present invention includes a top plate and a leg that supports the top plate, and is configured such that an optional part such as a panel can be attached along the side of the top plate. A support member comprising a pair of member elements extending from the top to the corner of the top plate is provided separately from the leg, and the pair of member elements supports the optional parts adjacent to each other at the corner. These support portions are provided, and the positions of the support portions are set so as to be symmetrical to each other with respect to the bisector of the angle formed by the adjacent optional parts in plan view.
[0008]
Here, “along” means that it is parallel or substantially parallel to the side of the top plate, and includes cases where it is in close contact with the side of the top plate or separated from the side of the top plate.
[0009]
If this is the case, the leg is asymmetrical with respect to the bisector of the angle formed by the adjacent panels attached to the predetermined mounting position, such as those having a T-shaped or L-shaped leg. Even if it is, the distance from each support part to each adjacent optional part becomes equal by interposing a support member, so it is possible to attach optional parts that should be along each side by a common mounting structure. become able to.
[0010]
In consideration of shipment and assembly, it is preferable in terms of management that an optional part such as a panel has a set of brackets and support members for attachment to the legs. Therefore, the present invention is characterized in that the support member includes a pair of member elements, and a support portion is set for each of the member elements.
[0011]
More specifically, a bracket attached to the support portion and an optional component supported by the bracket can be mentioned. That is, if it is such, a bracket can be made common. Of course, it is not limited to an independent one such as a bracket. For example, even when an attachment piece integrally projected from an optional part is supported by the support portion, the attachment piece can be made common .
[0012]
On the other hand, the top plate has various shapes, and the angle between adjacent sides is not necessarily 90 degrees. For example, in the case of a top plate having a square shape or a triangular shape, the angle formed by the sides is 135 degrees, 120 degrees, or the like. Thus, even when the angles formed by adjacent sides are variously different, in order to be able to use a common bracket, it is preferable that the horizontal mounting angle of the bracket with respect to the support member can be changed.
[0013]
As a specific embodiment, The optional part is a panel.
[0014]
In addition, the separation distance between the optional component attached along the side of the top plate and the side may be set to be equal on each side, for example, the option attached along the counter-use side of the top plate The distance between the part and the counter-use side is set longer than the distance between the side part of the optional part installed along the side of the top plate and the side, and the gap between the counter-use side of the top plate and the panel May be used more effectively as a wiring insertion space.
[0015]

Further, the fixing means 8 inserts the panel fixing screw B3 from the outside into the panel fixing screw insertion hole 8b horizontally penetrated through the bracket body 423 so as to open to the support surface 42a, and the panel fixing screw B3 is inserted into the back surface. By tightening the panel fixing screw hole 8a of the abutting member 7, the backing member 7 and the bracket main body 423 are attracted to each other, and the support surface 42a of the bracket main body 423 is pressed against the outer surface 3aa of the side edges of the panels 31 and 32. It is what I did.
[0035]
Furthermore, in this embodiment, before fixing the panels 31 and 32 as the support bodies to the bracket body 423 as the support body, the panel position provisional determination means configured so that the attachment position (mounting height) can be provisionally determined, There is provided a backing member position provisional determination means configured to be able to provisionally determine the position of the backing member 7 relative to the brackets 42A, 42B before the member 7 is drawn to the brackets 42A, 42B. These are provided to facilitate work when the panels 31 and 32 are fixed to the brackets 42A and 42B.
[0036]
More specifically, the panel position tentative determining means uses a plurality of recesses 91 (through holes penetrating the bottom wall of the insertion groove 6 in this embodiment) that open on the bottom surface of the insertion groove 6 as extensions of the insertion groove 6. While being provided intermittently along the direction, the bracket body 423 is provided with a protrusion 92 narrower than the opening width of the insertion groove 6, and the protrusion 92 passes through the opening 61 of the insertion groove 6 and engages with the recess 91. It is comprised as follows. The projections 92 are engaged with the desired recesses 91 so that the panels 31 and 32 can be temporarily positioned with respect to the brackets 42A and 42B in a plurality of stages.
[0037]
The backing member position tentative determining means slides the backing member 7 in one direction by bringing the abutting surfaces formed on the brackets 42A and 42B into contact with the abutting surfaces formed on the backing member 7. The position of the backing member 7 relative to the brackets 42A and 42B can be temporarily determined. Specifically, the brackets 42A and 42B are provided with an upward surface, while the backing member 7 is provided with a downward surface, and by bringing them into contact with each other, the downward movement of the backing member 7 is prohibited. The panel fixing screw hole 8a of the member 7 and the panel fixing screw insertion hole 8b of the bracket body 423 are configured to be substantially aligned on the same axis.
[0038]
In the present embodiment, the downward surface of the backing member 7 is the lower surface of the protrusion 72 projecting from the backing member main body 71 toward the brackets 42A and 42B, and the lower surface of the backing member main body 71, and upwards of the brackets 42A and 42B. The surface corresponds to the upward surface 42b of the notch 425 formed on the bracket body 423 so as to be cut out from above and the upper surface of the protrusion 92, respectively.
[0039]
According to the present embodiment configured as described above, by interposing the support member 4, the distance from each support portion 4b to each adjacent panel 31, 32 becomes equal, so that each side is shared by the common brackets 42A, 42B. It becomes possible to attach the panels 31 and 32 to be along 1b and 1c.
[0040]
In addition, since the brackets 42A and 42B are attached to the support member 4 so as to be able to turn horizontally, the common brackets 42A and 42B can be used even when the angles formed by adjacent panels are different by adjusting the attachment angle. . A specific modification will be briefly described with reference to FIG. In addition, in this figure, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the member corresponding to the said embodiment. That is, the top plate has various shapes, and the angle formed between adjacent sides is not necessarily 90 degrees. For example, as shown in FIG. 8, when the top plate 1 has a square shape, the angle formed by the two counter-use sides 1a and 1a is 135 degrees, 120 degrees, and the like. Inevitably, the angle α formed by the panels 31 and 31 attached along the counter-use sides 1a and 1a is the same angle. Therefore, as shown in the figure, by adjusting the horizontal mounting angle of the brackets 42A, 42B with respect to the support member 4, the same brackets 42A, 42B as the brackets 42A, 42B used for the rectangular top plate can be used. Furthermore, since the support member 4 is composed of two member elements 43 and 44 that support the brackets 42A and 42B, respectively, by setting only the mounting positions of the member elements 43 and 44 with respect to the leg 2, these member elements 43 and 44 can also be made common.
[0041]
In addition, since the support member 4 includes two member elements 43 and 44 that support the brackets 42A and 42B, the brackets 42A and 42B and the member elements 43 and 44 may be always set as one set for each panel. Management during shipping and assembly becomes easier.
[0042]
In addition, the leg 2 has a shape including a top plate receiver 23 extending forward and backward from the upper end of the column 22, and the support member 4 can be easily attached to the front end portion and the rear end portion of the top plate receiver 23. The panels 31 and 32 can be arranged without difficulty along each side.
[0043]
The present invention is not limited to the embodiment described above.
[0044]
For example, the support member may be integrated without being divided into member elements. Also, the shape of the leg can be applied to various shapes such as an L shape. Of course, the optional parts are not limited to the panel, and the same effects as those of the above-described embodiment can be obtained even when the wiring parts, auxiliary shelves, auxiliary top plates, wire frames, and the like attached below the top plate are used.
[0045]
In addition, it goes without saying that the present invention is not limited to the above illustrated examples, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
[0046]
【The invention's effect】
As described above in detail, according to the table according to the present invention, the legs are T-shaped or L-shaped, etc., with respect to the bisector of the angle formed by the adjacent panels mounted at the predetermined mounting position. Even if the leg is in an asymmetrical position, the distance from each support part to each adjacent optional part becomes equal by interposing a support member, so it should be along each side by a common mounting structure Optional parts can be attached.
