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]
By the way, a single product series often has a plurality of types of tables with different top plate shapes and dimensions as a lineup. In such a case, if the optional parts are attached to the legs, since the dimensions of the various top plates are different, the distance from the legs to the sides of the top plate is different for each type of top plate, It is necessary to prepare different brackets for each type of top plate. On the other hand, if the bracket is used in common, it is necessary to prepare a different leg for each type of top plate.
[0005]
This obstructs standardization of parts, simplification of assembly, cost reduction, etc., and is undesirable for both the manufacture and sales side and the consumer side. Such inconveniences are common not only to panels but also to optional parts that are mounted along the side of the top plate.
[0006]
In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a table in which optional parts such as panels can be mounted at predetermined mounting positions along the sides of the top plate, and a plurality of types of tops having different dimensions and shapes. It is also an intended problem to be solved that an optional part can be attached to a plate using a common leg or attachment structure.
[0007]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
That is, the table according to the present invention includes a top plate and legs that support the top plate, and optional parts such as a panel can be attached along the side of the top plate side by side at the corner of the top plate. A support member for supporting an optional component on the leg is provided so as to extend outwardly separately from the leg, and the mounting position of the support member with respect to the leg The support member for supporting optional parts directly or indirectly is provided at the tip of the support member so as to be positioned at the apex of the square in plan view, and diagonally Adjacent optional parts can be attached by using the two support portions positioned at the corners of the top plate as a boundary. 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. The “table” is a concept including a desk and an auxiliary desk.
[0008]
If this is the case, even when multiple types of top plates of different shapes and dimensions are supported on a common leg, the relative positional relationship between the optional parts and the top plate is fixed by a common support member. It can be kept and attached. As a result, it is possible to promote standardization of parts, simplification of assembly, cost reduction, and the like. In addition, since optional parts can be attached to the legs, the support strength can be increased without difficulty compared to the case where the optional parts are suspended from the bottom of the top board. It is also possible to adopt a heavy object.
[0009]
Even when the types of optional parts are different or the shape of the top plate is different, as an embodiment with a large degree of flexibility in mounting optional parts, a bracket is attached to the support member, and the optional parts are supported by the bracket. Are preferred. For example, the bracket can be pivotably attached to the support member.
[0010]
As a specific aspect of the effective position change, a structure in which the position of the support member can be changed along the direction orthogonal to the counter-use side of the top board can be exemplified.
[0011]
In general, a plurality of types of standard lineups related to the dimensions and shape of the top plate are set in advance. Therefore, it is preferable that the mounting position of the support member with respect to the leg body can be changed step by step in accordance with the lineup of the top plate in consideration of the actual assembly and adjustment work. .
[0012]
As a specific optional part, a panel can be mentioned.
[0013]
If the support portion is set to be positioned below the top plate lower surface, a gap is formed between the support portion and the top plate lower surface, so that, for example, the support member is closer to the outer edge of the top plate. Even in the case of being positioned inward, the optional part can be more easily supported using the gap.
[0014]
The “support portion” refers to an upward surface, an engaging claw, a concave portion, and the like in addition to a screw hole and a through hole provided at the tip portion of the support member.
