Benefits of technology

[0017]The base may have a plurality of guides provided continuously along the extension direction and guiding movement of the option supporting member. A plurality of optional members of different kinds can be attached by using the option supporting member supported by the guides. Height of the leg of the storage supported by the option supporting member guided by one guide is set so that interference between the storage body and another optional member can be avoided when the storage and another optional member supported by an option supporting member guided by another guide pass each other. At the time of changing the relative positions of the storage and another optional member in accordance with the position of the top board and the use state of the user, the storage and another optional member can be moved along the guide in a state where the storage and the another optional member are supported by the option supporting member. Thus, the work of changing the relative positions of optional members can be performed easily.
[0018]When the legs support regions in the storage body to balance the storage body, the storage body can be supported in a stable state by the legs. An operation of moving the storage along the base via the option supporting member can be smoothly and stably performed.
[0019]In another mode of the storage, the storage space of the storage body opens at least to the user side, and a pair of legs support regions displaced to the side opposite to the opening in the storage body. In such a mode, in the case where the base has a plurality of guides provided continuously in the extension direction and for guiding movement of the option supporting member, the storage bodies can be disposed back to back via the option supporting member in each of the guides. Moreover, the storage bodies can be also avoided from interfering each other when they pass each other.
[0020]According to the present invention described above, the flexibility in the change in the position of an optional member with respect to the base is increased, the position of an optional member with respect to the base can be easily and accurately changed according to the posture of the top board with respect to the base, and the work environment of workers can be satisfied.

Problems solved by technology

However, since the attachment position of an optional member which can be selected is determined by the fitting hole formation position in the conventional technique, there is a problem that the attachment position of an optional member cannot be finely adjusted.
Such a work is troublesome.
There is a problem that the attachment position of an optional member cannot be changed easily and accurately according to the posture of the top board.
However, due to the above-described inconvenience, practicability is low, the desk is not suitable as a component of a work space and an office in which layout is changed frequently, and it is difficult to satisfy the work environment of workers.

Embodiment Construction

[0041]An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

[0042]In the embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, as furniture, a desk 1 is applied including a base 2 disposed above the floor and extending in a predetermined direction, a base supporting member 3 for supporting the base 2, a top board supporting member 4 supported so as to be able to slide along the base 2, a top board 5a (or 5b) whose one end is supported by the top board supporting member 4, and a leg member 6 supporting the other end of the top board 5a (or 5b) and standing on the floor. FIG. 1 shows an office construction system formed by linking two desks 1 which have almost the same shapes and configurations except for the shapes of the top boards 5a and 5b. The same reference numerals are assigned to corresponding members in the diagram.

[0043]The base 2 has, for example, an almost quadrangular pillar shape extending almost linearly. A top board guide 2A for guiding movement of th...

Abstract

The present invention provides a desk with which flexibility of a change in the position of an optional member with respect to a base is increased, and by which the position of an optional member with respect to the base can be changed easily and accurately in accordance with the posture of a top board with respect to the base. A desk includes: a base extending in a predetermined direction; a top board capable of selecting a plurality of postures with respect to the base; an option supporting member supported so as to be movable along the base in accordance with the posture of the top board; and a panel system and a task light supported by the option supporting member.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to furniture provided with an optional member.[0003]2. Background Art[0004]Hitherto, in furniture having a top board such as a desk or a table, for example, a plurality of fitting holes to which an option supporting member for supporting an optional member such as a task light can be attached are formed at predetermined pitches on the side opposite to the use end. By inserting an insertion part provided for the option supporting member into a fitting hole selected from the plurality of fitting holes, the attachment position of an optional member can be changed (refer to, for example, Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2001-169834).[0005]However, since the attachment position of an optional member which can be selected is determined by the fitting hole formation position in the conventional technique, there is a problem that the attachment position of an optional member cannot be fin...
