Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a booth. [Background technology]

[0002] The working environment at a desk has been improved by providing partition walls around the periphery of a desk top having a work surface on the upper surface (see, for example, Patent Document 1). However, in the configuration disclosed in Patent Document 1, no partition wall is provided behind the worker who works facing the desk top. Therefore, when using, for example, a monitor device on the desk top, the display content of the monitor device may be viewed by someone behind the worker.

[0003] In response to this, Patent Document 2 discloses a booth that includes a partially cylindrical screen with an entrance and a tabletop attached to the inside of the screen. In this configuration, the space in which the tabletop is provided is surrounded by the screen, except for the area that will be the entrance and exit. This prevents the display content of a monitor device used on the tabletop from being viewed from behind the worker. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Utility Model Registration No. 3009775 [Patent Document 2] JP 2018-84032 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] Incidentally, the booth as disclosed in Patent Document 2 can be shaped as a whole in the shape of a regular hexagonal prism, a regular octagonal prism, a cylindrical shape, etc. If the booth is shaped like a regular hexagonal prism, a regular octagonal prism, a cylindrical shape, etc., dead space will be created between the booth and other fixtures or walls in the room in which it is installed, preventing effective use of the installation space in which the booth is installed. Patent Document 2 also discloses that the booth may be shaped like a rectangular parallelepiped or cube, but even if the booth is shaped like a rectangular parallelepiped or cube, making the booth larger in order to improve the comfort of using the booth will hinder the effective use of the installation space the booth is installed in. In contrast, making the booth smaller will reduce the space inside the booth, leading to a decrease in the comfort of using the booth for users. To provide a booth which can increase the space utilization efficiency within the installation space while preventing people from looking into the work space above the top board from behind, and can improve the comfort of use. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] In order to achieve the above object, a booth according to one aspect of the present invention comprises: a first panel erected on a floor surface; a booth body including a second panel and a third panel connected separately to both ends of the first panel in a width direction and extending in a thickness direction of the first panel while facing each other in the width direction; a top plate provided within the booth body and having an upper surface serving as a work surface; and an inclined panel connected to a first end of the third panel located opposite the first panel in a plan view, the inclined panel extending at an angle so as to move away from the first panel as it moves toward the second panel in the width direction, and forming an entrance / exit into the booth body between the top plate and the first end of the second panel located opposite the first panel, the top plate comprising: a panel side edge portion extending along the first panel and the second panel; and a front edge portion having a first edge portion extending in the width direction from a first end located on the second panel side toward the third panel side.

[0007] In this way, the panel side edge of the tabletop is aligned with at least the first and second panels, and a first edge is provided on the front edge, approaching the first panel from a first end of the second panel toward the third panel. This encourages a user who uses the work surface on the tabletop facing the first edge of the tabletop to face the corner between the first and second panels in a plan view, rather than facing the first panel. In this state, an inclined panel is provided behind the user, preventing others from looking into the work space on the tabletop from behind. In addition, since the booth body is formed into a square shape in a plan view by the first panel, second panel and third panel, it is possible to prevent dead space from being created between the booth and other fixtures, walls, etc. installed within the installation space of the booth. In addition, since the inclined panel is inclined in the same direction as the first edge of the front edge of the tabletop in a plan view, the narrowing of the gap between the inclined panel and the front edge of the tabletop is suppressed, and the accessibility to the inside and outside of the booth body is improved. Furthermore, the work surface of the tabletop expands obliquely from the front edge toward the corner between the first panel and the second panel, and the depth dimension on the work surface as seen from the user can be secured large. In addition, for example, when using the work surface of the tabletop while sitting on a chair, the storage space for the user's lower legs below the tabletop can be secured obliquely and widely from the front edge of the tabletop toward the corner between the first panel and the second panel. In this way, the comfort of use in the booth can be improved even if the booth body is made small. Therefore, it is possible to prevent people from looking into the work space above the tabletop from behind, while increasing the space utilization efficiency within the installation space and improving usability.

[0008] In a booth according to one embodiment of the present invention, the inclined panel may be arranged, in a plan view, on a second imaginary line that is perpendicular to a first imaginary line connecting the first end and a second end located closest to the first panel at the front edge portion and that passes through a corner between the first panel and the second panel. With this configuration, the inclined panel is positioned behind the user who is using the work surface on the tabletop, facing the first edge of the tabletop, so that it is possible to reliably prevent someone from looking into the work space on the tabletop from behind.

[0009] In a booth according to one embodiment of the present invention, the second end of the front edge portion may be spaced apart in the width direction from the third panel, and the front edge portion may have a second edge portion extending from the second end toward the third panel. According to this configuration, a work surface is formed on the tabletop that extends between the second edge and the rear edge along the first panel on the third panel side as seen from a worker positioned toward the first edge of the tabletop, thereby increasing the space on the work surface of the tabletop and improving the comfort for the worker.

[0010] In a booth according to one aspect of the present invention, the first end of the top plate may be positioned closer to the first panel than the first end on the second panel side. According to this configuration, the second panel protrudes in a direction away from the first panel beyond the first end of the tabletop, which can block the line of sight from the second panel side when viewed from the worker, thereby improving the comfort of the worker.

[0011] In the booth according to one aspect of the present invention, the first edge portion of the top plate and the inclined panel may extend linearly in a plan view. According to this configuration, the first edge portion of the tabletop and the inclined panel can be manufactured easily, making it possible to provide the booth at a lower cost.

[0012] In the booth according to one aspect of the present invention, the inclined panel may extend parallel to the first edge of the top plate in a plan view. With this configuration, the inclined panel and the first edge of the front end edge of the top plate are parallel, so that the gap between the inclined panel and the front end edge of the top plate is prevented from narrowing, and reduced accessibility to the inside and outside of the booth body is prevented.

[0013] In a booth according to one aspect of the present invention, the inclined panel may be configured such that a panel width dimension from the first end of the third panel is smaller than a width dimension of the first edge portion of the top plate. According to this configuration, it is possible to prevent the panel width dimension of the inclined panel from becoming excessively large, which in turn prevents the gap between the inclined panel and the first end of the second panel from becoming narrow, thereby preventing a decrease in accessibility to the inside and outside of the booth body.

[0014] In a booth according to one embodiment of the present invention, the first end of the second panel and the tip of the inclined panel located on the second panel side may be inclined so that, in a plan view, the panel width dimension becomes smaller as it moves from the outer surface facing outward from the booth body to the inner surface facing inward from the booth body. With this configuration, when entering or exiting the booth body through the entrance, interference with the inner end of the tip of the inclined panel or the inner end of the first end of the second panel can be suppressed, thereby preventing a decrease in accessibility to the inside and outside of the booth body. Effect of the Invention

[0015] According to one aspect of the present invention, it is possible to increase the space utilization efficiency within the installation space while preventing people from looking into the work space above the top plate from behind, and improve the comfort of use.

[Diagram 5] FIG. 11 is a plan view of a booth according to a third modified example of an embodiment of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0017] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the booth according to the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to this embodiment. In the embodiments (and modified examples) described below, the same reference numerals may be used to designate corresponding configurations, and the description may be omitted. In the following description, expressions indicating relative or absolute arrangements, such as "parallel," "orthogonal," "center," and "coaxial," do not only strictly indicate such arrangements, but also indicate a state in which there is a relative displacement with an angle or distance to the extent that the same function is obtained, or with a tolerance.

[0018] Fig. 1 is a perspective view showing the overall configuration of a booth 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention, and Fig. 2 is a plan view of the booth 1. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the booth 1 includes a booth body 10, an inclined panel 14, and a top plate 20A.

[0019] The booth body 10 is installed on a floor surface F. The booth body 10 is configured by combining a front panel (first panel) 11, a right side panel (second panel) 12, and a left side panel (third panel) 13. In the following description, the left-right direction when the front panel 11 is viewed horizontally from a direction perpendicular to its inner surface 11f (the surface facing inward of the booth body 10) is defined as the width direction Dw, the direction perpendicular to the inner surface 11f of the front panel 11 in the horizontal plane (the thickness direction of the front panel 11) is defined as the front-rear direction Df, and the direction perpendicular to the width direction Dw and the front-rear direction Df is defined as the up-down direction Dv. Furthermore, in the front-rear direction Df, the front panel 11 side of the booth body 10 is defined as the rear, and the opposite side is defined as the front.

[0020] The front panel 11 is erected on the floor surface F along a vertical direction Dv perpendicular to the floor surface F. The front panel 11 has a rectangular plate shape that is long in the vertical direction Dv.

[0021] The right side panel 12 is disposed on a first side (right side) of the front panel 11 in the width direction Dw. The right side panel 12 is a rectangular plate that is long in the up-down direction Dv, and is erected on a floor surface F. The right side panel 12 is connected to a right end portion 11a of the front panel 11. The right side panel 12 extends forward from the end portion 11a of the front panel 11.

[0022] The left side panel 13 is disposed on the second side (left side) of the front panel 11 in the width direction Dw. The left side panel 13 is a rectangular plate that is long in the up-down direction Dv and is erected on the floor surface F. The left side panel 13 is connected to the left end 11b of the front panel 11. The left side panel 13 extends forward from the end 11b of the front panel 11. In this embodiment, the right side panel 12 and the left side panel 13 are perpendicular to the inner surface 11f of the front panel 11 in a plan view and extend parallel to each other. However, it is sufficient that the right side panel 12 and the left side panel 13 extend in the front-rear direction Df while facing each other in the width direction Dw.

[0023] The front panel 11, the right side panel 12, and the left side panel 13 each consist of a panel body P having a similar structure. The panel body P includes, for example, a rectangular panel body (not shown), a frame member Pe provided along the four sides of the panel body, and legs (not shown) provided on the frame member at the lower side and grounded on the floor surface F. Note that there are no limitations on the material or structure of the panel body P, and configurations other than those shown above can be appropriately adopted. Also, the front panel 11, the right side panel 12, and the left side panel 13 may be formed integrally.

[0024] The inside of the booth body 10 is surrounded by a front panel 11, a right side panel 12, and a left side panel 13 to form a booth interior space 100 having an opening 100k facing forward. In this embodiment, the front panel 11, the right side panel 12, and the left side panel 13 have the same panel width dimension Sp on the side facing the booth interior space 100. This makes the booth body 10 square in plan view. However, the panel width dimensions Sp of the panels 11, 12, and 13 may be different from each other.

[0025] The top plate 20A is provided inside the booth body 10. The top plate 20A is plate-shaped and provided along a horizontal plane perpendicular to the up-down direction Dv. The upper surface of the top plate 20A forms a flat work surface 20f. As shown in FIG. 2, the top plate 20A has a panel side edge 21 and a front edge 22A. The panel side edge 21 has a rear edge 21a extending in the width direction Dw along the inner surface 11f of the front panel 11, a right edge 21b extending in the front-rear direction Df along the inner surface 12f of the right side panel 12, and a left edge 21c in the front-rear direction Df along the inner surface 13f of the left side panel 13. The top plate 20A is fixed by a bracket (not shown) or a leg (not shown) standing up from the floor surface F with the panel side edge 21 aligned along the front panel 11, the right side panel 12, and the left side panel 13. Note that the panel side edge 21 does not necessarily have to be in contact with the inner surfaces 11f-13f of the opposing panels 11-13 as long as it is close to them.

[0026] The front edge 22A of the top panel 20A includes a first edge 22a and a second edge 22b. The first edge 22a is located on the right side (the right side panel 12 side) of the second edge 22b in the front edge 22A.

[0027] The first edge portion 22a extends in a slanted manner backward so as to gradually approach the front panel 11 from the first end 22e, which is the right end, toward the second end 22f, which is the left end. In this embodiment, the first edge portion 22a extends linearly from the first end 22e to the second end 22f in a plan view. The first end 22e of the first edge portion 22a constitutes the right end of the entire front end edge portion 22A. That is, the first end 22e intersects with the front end of the right end edge 21b. On the other hand, the second end 22f of the first edge portion 22a is spaced apart from the left side panel 13 in the width direction Dw. The first end 22e is disposed a predetermined distance rearward from the front end portion (first end portion) 10b of the right side panel 12 (hereinafter referred to as the right front end portion 10b of the booth).

[0028] The second edge 22b extends leftward from the second end 22f of the first edge 22a. The second edge 22b extends linearly along the width direction Dw and is perpendicular to the inner surface 13f of the left side panel 13. The second end 22f of the first edge 22a and the second edge 22b form the rearmost portion of the front edge 22A and are closest to the front panel 11.

[0029] At the front end edge 22A of the tabletop 20A, the width dimension W1 in the extension direction of the first edge 22a (the direction connecting the first end 22e and the second end 22f) is longer than the width dimension W2 in the extension direction of the second edge 22b (width direction Dw).

[0030] The top plate 20A is provided with a wiring insertion portion 25 through which various wiring connected to, for example, electrical devices used on the work surface 20f is inserted. A lighting device 26 is provided above the work surface 20f of the top plate 20A. The lighting device 26 is fixed, for example, to the front panel 11 of the booth main body 10. The top plate 20A and the booth main body 10 can be provided with various optional members other than the wiring insertion portion 25 and the lighting device 26.

[0031] In the booth interior space 100, a chair C is provided at a position facing the first edge portion 22a. The chair C is configured to be rotatable about an axis along the vertical direction Dv. The chair C may be fixed to the floor surface F, for example, or may be capable of moving on the floor surface F using casters or the like. The chair C may also be supported by an arm or the like extending from the booth body 10.

[0032] The inclined panel 14 is connected to the front end (first end) 10a (hereinafter referred to as the booth left front end 10a) of the left side panel 13. The inclined panel 14 extends at an angle forward (in a direction away from the front panel 11) from the booth left front end 10a toward the right side. The tip 14s of the inclined panel 14 (the end opposite to the booth left front end 10a) is disposed with a gap between it and the booth right front end 10b. As a result, an entrance 100e for entering and exiting the booth interior space 100 is formed between the tip 14s of the inclined panel 14 and the booth left front end 10a.

[0033] In this embodiment, the inclined panel 14 extends linearly in a plan view. The inclined panel 14 extends parallel to the first edge portion 22a of the top plate 20A in a plan view. The inclined panel 14 is located on a second virtual line L2 that is perpendicular to the first virtual line L1 connecting the first end 22e and the second end 22f of the first edge portion 22a at the front end edge portion 22A and passes through the corner portion 10c between the front panel 11 and the right side panel 12. In this embodiment, the second virtual line L2 intersects with the inclined panel 14 at a portion located closer to the tip end 14s of the inclined panel 14. However, the second virtual line L2 only needs to intersect within the panel width dimension S1 of the inclined panel 14 (the length on the outer surface 14g of the inclined panel 14). Here, it is preferable that the inclined panel 14 and the top plate 20A (first edge portion 22a) are formed at an angle θ of, for example, 45° or less with respect to the inner surface 12f of the right side panel 12 in a plan view.

[0034] Further, the tip end 14s of the inclined panel 14 is inclined so that the dimension in the extension direction (panel width direction) of the inclined panel 14 gradually decreases from the end 14u on the outer surface 14g (surface facing outward from the booth body 10) side to the end 14t on the inner surface 14f (surface facing inward from the booth body 10). As a result, the tip end 14s is formed with a tip inclined surface 14m inclined with respect to the extension direction of the inclined panel 14. In the illustrated example, the tip inclined surface 14m extends along the front-rear direction Df. However, the end 14t on the inner surface 14f side of the tip inclined surface 14m may be located to the left or right of the end 14u on the outer surface 14g side.

[0035] The right front end 10b of the booth body 10 is inclined so that the panel width dimension in the extension direction (front-rear direction Df) of the right side panel 12 gradually decreases from the end 12u on the outer surface 12g (surface facing outward from the booth body 10) side of the right side panel 12 to the end 12t on the inner surface 12f (surface facing inward from the booth body 10) side of the right side panel 12. As a result, the right front end 10b of the booth is formed with a front end inclined surface 10t in which the end 12t on the inner surface 12f side is located rearward of the end 12u on the outer surface 12g side. The tip 14s of the inclined panel 14 and the right front end 10b of the booth may be flat surfaces perpendicular to the extension direction.

[0036] Also, it is preferable that the inclined panel 14 is provided so that the panel width dimension S1 from the left front end 10a of the booth on the outer surface 14g is smaller than the width dimension W1 of the first edge 22a of the top plate 20A. Also, it is preferable that the panel width dimension S1 of the inclined panel 14 is 1 / 2 or less of the panel width dimension Sp of the front panel 11. This ensures a wide width for the entrance 100e between the tip end 14s of the inclined panel 14 and the right front end 10b of the booth.

[0037] A user of the booth 1 described above enters and exits the booth body 10 (booth interior space 100) through an entrance 100e formed between the tip 14s of the inclined panel 14 and the right front end 10b of the booth. In the booth 1, the user sits, for example, on a chair C and uses the work surface 20f on the top plate 20A while facing the first edge 22a of the top plate 20A. At this time, the user does not face the front panel 11 directly, but faces the first edge 22a of the top plate 20A. Then, the user is prompted to face the right end of the front panel 11 (the corner 10c between the front panel 11 and the right side panel 12) in a plan view. In this state, the inclined panel 14 is provided behind the user, blocking the view from behind the user. In addition, the entrance / exit 100e is formed on the right side of the user, which reduces the user's feeling of being blocked in. In addition, the user can easily see people approaching from the right side through the entrance / exit 100e. In addition, when viewed from outside the booth 1, the user in the booth 1 can easily be seen through the entrance / exit 100e.

[0038] Thus, in this embodiment, the booth 1 includes a booth body 10 having a front panel 11, a right side panel 12, and a left side panel 13, a top plate 20A, and an inclined panel 14 extending at an angle from the left front end portion 10a of the booth body 10. The top plate 20A includes a front end edge portion 22A having a first edge portion 22a extending from a first end 22e on the right side panel 12 side toward the left side panel 13 side in a direction approaching the front panel 11 side. According to this configuration, by providing a first edge 22a at the front end edge 22A of the tabletop 20A, a user facing the first edge 22a of the tabletop 20A faces the corner 10c between the front panel 11 and the right side panel 12. In this case, when the tabletop 20A is viewed from the user, the inclined panel 14 is provided behind the user, so that the working space on the tabletop 20A is prevented from being looked at from behind. In addition, since the booth body 10 is rectangular in plan view, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of dead space between the booth body 10 and other fixtures, walls, etc., provided in the installation space in which the booth 1 is installed. In addition, since the inclined panel 14 is inclined in the same direction as the first edge 22a of the front end edge 22A of the top plate 20A, the gap between the inclined panel 14 and the front end edge 22A of the top plate 20A is prevented from narrowing, and the accessibility to the inside and outside of the booth body 10 is improved. Furthermore, the work surface 20f of the top plate 20A expands obliquely from the front end edge 22A toward the corner 10c, and a large depth dimension D (direction along the second virtual line L2) on the work surface 20f as seen from the user can be secured. In addition, when the user sits on the chair C and uses the work surface 20f of the top plate 20A, a wide space for accommodating the user's lower legs below the top plate 20A can be secured obliquely from the front end edge 22A side of the top plate 20A toward the corner 10c. In this way, even if the booth body 10 is made compact, the comfort of use within the booth 1 can be improved. Therefore, according to the booth 1, it is possible to prevent people from looking into the work space on the top panel 20A from behind, while increasing the space utilization efficiency within the installation space and improving the comfort of use.

[0039] In this embodiment, the inclined panel 14 is configured to be positioned on a second virtual line L2 that is perpendicular to a first virtual line L1 connecting a first end 22e of the front edge portion 22A and a second end 22f that is located closest to the front panel 11 at the front edge portion 22A, and that passes through the corner portion 10c. According to this configuration, the inclined panel 14 is positioned behind the user who uses the work surface 20f on the top board 20A, facing the first edge portion 22a of the top board 20A. Therefore, it is possible to more reliably prevent the work space on the top board 20A from being looked into from behind.

[0040] In this embodiment, the front edge portion 22A has a second edge portion 22b that extends toward the left side panel 13 from the second end 22f. According to this configuration, the tabletop 20A has a work surface 20f that extends to the left of the second end 22f on the left side as seen by a worker facing the first edge 22a. This increases the space on the work surface 20f of the tabletop 20A, improving the comfort for the worker.

[0041] In this embodiment, the first end 22e of the top plate 20A is configured to be disposed forward of the booth right front end portion 10b of the booth body 10. According to this configuration, the right side panel 12 of the booth body 10 protrudes rearward beyond the first end 22e of the top panel 20A. This allows the right side panel 12 to block the line of sight from the worker's perspective. This improves the worker's comfort.

[0042] In this embodiment, the first edge portion 22a of the top plate 20A and the inclined panel 14 are configured to extend linearly in a plan view. According to such a configuration, the first edge portion 22a of the tabletop 20A and the inclined panel 14 can be manufactured easily, and the booth 1 can be provided at a lower cost.

[0043] In this embodiment, the inclined panel 14 is configured to extend parallel to the first edge portion 22a of the top plate 20A in a plan view. With this configuration, the gap between the tip 14s of the inclined panel 14 and the front edge 22A of the tabletop 20A is prevented from narrowing, and a decrease in accessibility to the inside and outside of the booth body 10 is prevented.

[0044] In this embodiment, the panel width dimension S1 of the inclined panel 14 from the left front end portion 10a of the booth is configured to be smaller than the width dimension W1 of the first edge portion 22a of the top plate 20A. According to this configuration, it is possible to prevent the panel width dimension S1 of the inclined panel 14 from becoming excessively large and narrowing the entrance 100e. This makes it possible to prevent a decrease in accessibility between the inside and outside of the booth body 10.

[0045] In this embodiment, the booth right front end 10b of the right side panel 12 and the tip end 14s of the inclined panel 14 are inclined in a plan view so that the panel width of the panels 12, 14 becomes smaller from the outer surfaces 12g, 14g toward the inner surfaces 12f, 14f. With this configuration, when entering or exiting the booth body 10, interference with the end 14t on the inner surface 14f side of the tip end 14s of the inclined panel 14 and the end 12t on the inner surface 12f side of the booth right front end 10b can be suppressed, and a decrease in accessibility to the inside and outside of the booth body 10 can be suppressed.

[0046] (Modification of the embodiment) Next, modified examples of the booth according to the present invention will be described. Note that in each of the modified examples described below, the configuration of the front edge portion of the top plate is different from the front edge portion 22A shown in the above embodiment. (First Modification) FIG. 3 is a plan view of a booth 1B according to a first modified example of the embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Fig. 3, in the front edge portion 22B of the tabletop 20B provided in the booth 1B, the second edge portion 22c extends from the second end 22f of the first edge portion 22a toward the left side, inclining forward. For example, the second edge portion 22c extends perpendicular to the first edge portion 22a in a plan view. Note that the direction in which the second edge portion 22b extends does not have to be perpendicular to the first edge portion 22a in a plan view.

[0047] In this way, even if the front edge portion 22B is formed into a V-shape in a plan view, it is sufficient that the inclined panel 14 is disposed on the second imaginary line L2 that is perpendicular to the first imaginary line L1 connecting the first end 22e and the second end 22f of the first edge portion 22a and passes through the corner 10c between the front panel 11 and the right side panel 12. In the first modified example of this embodiment, the space of the work surface 20f of the top plate 20A is expanded on the left side panel 13 side as viewed from the worker positioned facing the first edge portion 22a of the top plate 20B, improving the comfort for the worker.

[0048] (Second Modification) FIG. 4 is a plan view of a booth 1C according to a second modified example of the embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Fig. 4, a front edge 22C of a top plate 20C provided in a booth 1C has a circular arc shape protruding rearward in a plan view. Specifically, the front edge 22C includes a first edge 22p and a second edge 22q. The first edge 22p is formed on the right side of the second edge 22q in the front edge 22C.

[0049] The first edge portion 22p extends rearward in the width direction Dw so as to gradually approach the front panel 11 from the first end 22h, which is the right end, toward the second end 22i, which is the left end. In this embodiment, the first edge portion 22p extends curved rearward from the first end 22h to the second end 22i.

[0050] The second edge 22q extends from the second end 22i of the first edge 22p toward the left side panel 13, curving forward. Therefore, the first edge 22p is the closest to the front panel 11 among the front end edge 22C. The first edge 22p and the second edge 22q are formed to have the same radius of curvature. However, the radius of curvature may be different between the first edge 22p and the second edge 22q.

[0051] The inclined panel 14 is positioned on a second imaginary line L4 that is perpendicular to a first imaginary line L3 connecting the first end 22h and the second end 22i of the front edge portion 22C and passes through the corner 10c between the front panel 11 and the right side panel 12.

[0052] (Third Modification) In addition, in the above embodiment and each modified example, the front end edges 22A to 22C include the first edges 22a, 22p and the second edges 22b, 22q, but this is not limiting. FIG. 5 is a plan view of a booth 1D according to a third modified example of the embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 5, the front edge 22D of the tabletop 20D provided in the booth 1D has only the first edge 22s. The first edge 22s extends rearward in the width direction Dw so as to gradually approach the front panel 11 from the first end 22j, which is the right end, toward the second end 22k, which is the left end. In this case, the second end 22k is the closest to the front panel 11 among the front edge 22D. Also in this modification, the inclined panel 14 is disposed on the second virtual line L2 that is perpendicular to the first virtual line L1 connecting the first end 22j and the second end 22k and passes through the corner 10c between the front panel 11 and the right side panel 12.

[0053] (Other embodiments) Although the preferred embodiment and its modified examples of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments and modified examples. Addition, omission, substitution, and other modifications of the configuration are possible within the scope of the present invention. The present invention is not limited by the above description, but is limited only by the scope of the attached claims. For example, in the above-described embodiment, the first edge portions 22a, 22p, 22s of the tabletop 20A are straight or curved, but they may also be, for example, wavy when viewed in a plane, or curved in a manner that protrudes toward the rear.

[0054] In the above-described embodiment, the first ends 22e, 22h, and 22j of the tabletops 20A, 20B, 20C, and 20D are arranged rearward of the right front end 10b of the booth, but this is not limited thereto. The first end 22e of the tabletop 20A may be arranged at the same position as the right front end 10b of the booth in the front-rear direction Df.

[0055] In the above-described embodiment, the panel-side edge portion 21 of the top plate 20A, 20B, 20C, 20D has a rear edge 21a, a right edge 21b, and a left edge 21c, but is not limited thereto. The panel-side edge portion 21 may have at least the rear edge 21a and the right edge 21b on both sides of the corner portion 10c. In the above-mentioned embodiment, for example, the configuration in which the working surface 20f of the top plate 20A is flat along a horizontal plane has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this configuration. For example, the working surface 20f of the top plate 20A may be inclined downward toward the front edge 22A, which is the user-side edge. That is, the front edge 22A may extend in a backward inclined manner so that the first edge 22a gradually approaches the front panel 11 from the first end 22e, which is the right end, toward the second end 22f, which is the left end, in a plan view. In addition, the top plate 20A may be configured to be movable up and down, for example.

[0056] In the above embodiment, the first edge portions 22a, 22p, and 22s of the tabletop 20A and the inclined panel 14 are provided parallel to each other, but this is not limited thereto. The first edge portions 22a, 22p, and 22s of the tabletop 20A and the inclined panel 14 do not have to be parallel to each other.

[0057] In the above embodiment, the inclined panel 14 is connected to the left side panel 13 , but the inclined panel 14 may be connected to the right side panel 12 .

[0058] In the above-described embodiment, the booth body 10 has a square shape in plan view, but the booth body 10 may have a rectangular shape in plan view that is long in the width direction Dw or the front-rear direction Df. In addition, within the scope of the invention, the components in the above-described embodiments may be replaced with well-known components, and the above-described modified examples may be combined as appropriate.
