AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Conventional tables with a central opening for wiring or attachment of options like monitors have a clamp positioned close to the use end, limiting the available depth dimension of the top plate surface for users.

Method used

A tabletop with multiple usable ends at equal angular intervals and a central opening, where the clamp is attached to a position offset from the center, ensuring the clamp is between vertices, and outlets are positioned to minimize depth reduction.

Benefits of technology

This configuration ensures a larger effective depth dimension of the top plate surface for users, allowing for increased space between the user and attached components like monitors, while preventing direct viewing between adjacent users.

Abstract

To secure a large effective depth dimension on a top plate surface utilizable by a user seated on a use end, concerning a table having an opening on a central part of a top plate.SOLUTION: In a table T including a top plate 1 where multiple use ends 1a are set at equiangular intervals on a circumference edge, and provided, on an area including the center of the top plate 1, with an opening 1c having such multiple crowns 1c2 that a distance from the center becomes partially large, and capable of attaching a clamp 3 for option attachment on an opening edge 1ca of the opening 1c, a shape of the opening 1c is set so that each crown 1c2 is faced respectively to a center 1a1 of each use end 1a.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3
