[0014] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0015] (First embodiment) FIG. 1 is a plan view showing an example of installation of a furniture unit 1 with a top plate according to the first embodiment. The furniture unit 1 with a tabletop shown in Fig. 1 is installed in a conference room 100 that can be entered and exited through a door 102. The furniture unit 1 with a tabletop is installed in contact with one of the four walls 101 that surround the conference room 100.

[0016] In addition, on a wall 101 facing in a different direction from the wall 101 to which the tabletop-equipped furniture unit 1 abuts, another tabletop furniture 2 and a plurality of shelf furniture 3 are installed in abutment with the wall 101. The tabletop-equipped furniture unit 1 and the tabletop furniture 2 are provided with chairs 4 according to the required number. A monitor 103 is installed on the tabletop-equipped furniture unit 1, allowing remote conferences and the like to be held.

[0017] In the following description, an XYZ orthogonal coordinate system is set, and the positional relationship of each member may be described with reference to this XYZ orthogonal coordinate system. As shown in Fig. 1, the X-axis direction is set to the first direction (also called the front-rear direction or the first horizontal direction) in which the tabletop-equipped furniture unit 1 and the wall 101 against which the tabletop-equipped furniture unit 1 abuts face each other.

[0018] The Y-axis direction is set to a second direction (also called the left-right direction or second horizontal direction) of the tabletop-equipped furniture unit 1 that is perpendicular to the first direction. The Z-axis direction is set to a third direction (also called the up-down direction or vertical direction) of the tabletop-equipped furniture unit 1 that is perpendicular to the first and second directions.

[0019] Fig. 2 is a front perspective view of the tabletop-equipped furniture unit 1 according to the first embodiment. Fig. 3 is a front exploded perspective view of the tabletop-equipped furniture unit 1 according to the first embodiment. Fig. 4 is a rear perspective view of the tabletop-equipped furniture unit 1 according to the first embodiment. Fig. 5 is a rear exploded perspective view of the tabletop-equipped furniture unit 1 according to the first embodiment.

[0020] 2, the furniture unit 1 with a top comprises a furniture unit 10 with a top, which includes a support structure 20 and a top 30, and a panel body 40 standing upright along a side edge 31 of the top 30. A monitor 103 is attached to the front side (-X side) of the panel body 40 facing the top 30, at a position above the top 30.

[0021] The top board 30 has a trapezoidal shape in plan view that decreases in width in the left-right direction (Y-axis direction) as it moves away from the panel body 40. The panel body 40 stands upright in the vertical direction (Z-axis direction) from the floor surface of the conference room 100 along a side edge 31 that is the longer base side of two parallel opposite sides of the top board 30's trapezoidal shape in plan view. The shape of the top board 30 is not limited to a trapezoidal shape in plan view, and may be a polygon other than a rectangle, square, or quadrangle in plan view, or may be an irregular shape including a curved surface.

[0022] A top plate hole 33 is formed in the center of the top plate 30 in a plan view, penetrating in the up-down direction (Z-axis direction). The top plate hole 33 has an elongated hole shape extending in the front-rear direction (X-axis direction). The top plate hole 33 is openably covered by a top plate cover 34. A connection device 113 (see FIG. 10 described later) to which a user's personal computer (not shown) or the like can be connected is disposed below the top plate cover 34. The connection device 113 includes, for example, a power strip or a LAN connector.

[0023] As shown in Fig. 3, the support structure 20 includes a leg 21, a grounding portion 22, a first rod 23, and a pair of second rods 24. The leg 21 has a rectangular column shape extending in the up-down direction. The leg 21 is disposed on the opposite side (-X side) of the top board 30 from the panel body 40 side in the front-rear direction (X-axis direction). The leg 21 is disposed in the center of the top board 30 in the left-right direction (Y-axis direction). There may be one or more legs 21.

[0024] The grounding portion 22 is provided at the lower end of the leg 21. The grounding portion 22 is equipped with an adjuster mechanism capable of adjusting the height in the vertical direction (Z-axis direction). The first rod 23 is connected to the upper end of the leg 21 and extends from the upper end of the leg 21 to both sides in the left-right direction (Y-axis direction). The first rod 23 is connected to the lower surface of the tabletop 30 via a bolt or the like (not shown).

[0025] The pair of second rods 24 extend parallel to each other in the front-rear direction (X-axis direction) from the first rod 23 toward the panel body 40. The ends of the pair of second rods 24 on the panel body 40 side form extensions 24a that are inserted into first openings 41 formed in the panel body 40. A wiring container 50 is connected to the extensions 24a.

[0026] The wiring housing 50 has a rectangular frame shape that is long in the vertical direction (Z-axis direction). A wiring housing space 51 is formed inside the wiring housing 50 (inside the frame shape). This wiring housing 50 is disposed on the rear side (+X side) of the panel body 40. As described later, the wiring housing 50 also functions as a restricting portion 25 that restricts movement of the panel body 40 in a direction away from the top plate 30 (+X side).

[0027] FIG. 6 is a rear view of the tabletop-equipped furniture unit 1 according to the first embodiment. As shown in FIG. 6, the wiring housing 50 includes a pair of pillars 53 extending in the vertical direction, a bottom beam 54 extending in the left-right direction and connecting the lower ends of the pair of pillars 53, and a top beam 55 extending in the left-right direction and connecting the upper ends of the pair of pillars 53.

[0028] A plurality of grounding portions 52 are provided on the underside of the bottom beam 54 at intervals in the left-right direction (Y-axis direction). The grounding portions 52 are equipped with an adjuster mechanism that can adjust the height in the up-down direction. The top beam 55 is larger in the up-down direction than the bottom beam 54, and an extension portion 24a is connected to the surface facing the top plate 30 side (-X side). The top beam 55 has a C-channel shape in cross section, but may have a hollow rectangular column shape like the pair of support columns 53 and the bottom beam 54.

[0029] 4 and 5, the panel body 40 is formed with a first opening 41 and a second opening 42. The first opening 41 is a communication hole that provides access to the rear side of the panel body 40 (the internal space of the wiring housing 50) from below the top plate 30. The second opening 42 is a communication hole that provides access to the rear side of the panel body 40 (the external space of the wiring housing 50) from above the top plate 30.

[0030] The first opening 41 penetrates the panel body 40 in the X-axis direction. When viewed from the X-axis direction, the first opening 41 has a rectangular shape that is long in the up-down direction. The second opening 42 is disposed above the first opening 41 and penetrates the panel body 40 in the X-axis direction. When viewed from the X-axis direction, the second opening 42 has a rectangular shape that is long in the up-down direction.

[0031] The second opening 42 is smaller than the first opening 41 and is formed so as to communicate with the first opening 41 in the up-down direction (Z-axis direction) at the left-right direction (Y-axis direction) center of the upper edge of the first opening 41. Note that the second opening 42 does not have to be formed so as to communicate with the first opening 41.

[0032] The panel body 40 has a dividing surface 43 that passes through the first opening 41 and the second opening 42, and can be divided into a first panel piece 40A and a second panel piece 40B via the dividing surface 43, as shown in Fig. 5. The dividing surface 43 extends in the up-down direction (Z-axis direction) at the center in the left-right direction (Y-axis direction) of the panel body 40. In other words, the first panel piece 40A and the second panel piece 40B have cutouts that form halves of the first opening 41 and the second opening 42.

[0033] As shown in Fig. 3, a long hole 44 is formed on the front side (-X side) of the panel body 40, to which a support piece 45 can be attached that supports the end of the side edge 31 side of the top plate 30 from below. The long hole 44 is formed in each of the first panel piece 40A and the second panel piece 40B. The long hole 44 does not penetrate the panel body 40, and has a depth that can accommodate the plate thickness of the support piece 45 that is L-shaped in side view. As a result, as shown in Fig. 2, when the top plate 30 is assembled, the support piece 45 is not exposed between the top plate 30 and the panel body 40, and the fixture can have an excellent appearance.

[0034] As shown in Fig. 6, a first connecting portion 80 and a second connecting portion 90 are provided on the rear side of the panel body 40 to separably connect the first panel piece 40A and the second panel piece 40B. The first connecting portion 80 is a connecting plate that straddles the dividing surface 43 in the left-right direction (Y-axis direction) and is attached via bolts or the like. The first connecting portion 80 is disposed on the rear side of the monitor mounting bracket 104 shown in Figs. 3 and 5. The second connecting portions 90 are disposed in pairs above and below the first connecting portion 80.

[0035] FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view of the attachment portion of the second connecting portion 90 according to the first embodiment. As shown in Fig. 7, round holes 47 and long holes 48 are formed on the back sides of the first panel piece 40A and the second panel piece 40B. The round holes 47 and the long holes 48 are arranged on either side of the dividing surface 43 and are connected together like an iron dumbbell. Additionally, a skin material 40a that improves the design is provided on the front sides of the first panel piece 40A and the second panel piece 40B.

[0036] The second connecting portion 90 includes a bolt 91 arranged along the elongated hole 48, a pair of arc plates 92 that abut against the peripheral wall of the round hole 47, and a nut 93 that screws onto the bolt 91. One of the pair of arc plates 92 engages with the head portion of the bolt 91, and the other engages with the nut 93 on the shaft side of the bolt 91. When the nut 93 is tightened, the pair of arc plates 92 approach each other in the Y-axis direction, thereby firmly connecting the first panel piece 40A and the second panel piece 40B.

[0037] Returning to Fig. 4, a shield 70 that shields the wiring housing 50 from the side is provided on the rear side of the panel body 40. The shield 70 abuts against a wall 101 (see Fig. 1) and shields the gap between the panel body 40 and the wall 101. The shield 70 includes a pair of shielding side plates 71 extending in the up-down direction (Z-axis direction) and a shielding top plate 72 extending in the left-right direction (Y-axis direction).

[0038] The pair of shielding side plates 71 extend in the up-down direction on the rear side of both left-right ends of the panel body 40. A grounding portion 46 is provided at the lower ends of the pair of shielding side plates 71. The grounding portion 46 has an adjuster mechanism that can adjust the height in the up-down direction. The grounding portion 46 may be provided not only at the lower ends of the pair of shielding side plates 71 but also at the lower end of the panel body 40. In other words, the panel body 40 may be grounded to the floor surface via the grounding portion 46 provided at the lower end of the panel body 40 or at least one of the shielding side plates 71, and stand on its own.

[0039] The shielding top plate 72 extends in the left-right direction on the rear side of the upper end of the panel body 40. The shielding top plate 72 shields the wiring housing 50 from above. Note that since there are few cases in which the rear side of the panel body 40 is viewed from above, the shielding top plate 72 is not necessarily required, but the presence of the shielding top plate 72 makes it possible to prevent dust and the like from falling and accumulating on the rear side of the panel body 40.

[0040] Fig. 8 is a cross-sectional plan view of the tabletop-equipped furniture unit 1 according to the first embodiment. Fig. 9 is a front view of the tabletop-equipped furniture unit 1 according to the first embodiment. As shown in Figure 9, the furniture unit 1 with a tabletop comprises a first lid body 60 that openably covers the first opening 41 of the panel body 40, and a second lid body 61 that openably covers the second opening 42 of the panel body 40.

[0041] The first lid body 60 is disposed below the top plate 30. The first lid body 60 has a rectangular shape that is long in the vertical direction (Z-axis direction) when viewed from the front. The first lid body 60 is supported by the panel body 40, for example, by engaging both left and right edges of the first panel piece 40A and the inner edges of the second panel piece 40B that form the first opening 41 via engagement claws (not shown). As shown in FIG. 8, the surface of the first lid body 60 is attached so as to be flush with the surface of the panel body 40. This allows the furniture to have an excellent appearance.

[0042] 9, the first cover 60 has a length in the up-down direction that is smaller than that of the first opening 41. Therefore, a gap that is not blocked by the first cover 60 is formed at the upper end of the first opening 41. The extension 24a is inserted into the gap. This allows the extension 24a to be inserted into the first opening 41 even when the first cover 60 is attached to the first opening 41.

[0043] The extension 24a does not abut against the upper edge of the first opening 41 in the vertical direction (Z-axis direction). In other words, the extension 24a does not receive a load from the panel body 40. For this reason, it is not necessary for the extension 24a to have a function of supporting the panel body 40, and the extension 24a can be made smaller. The extension 24a may slightly abut against the upper edge of the first opening 41 in the vertical direction. For example, when a form in which the panel body 40 is not grounded is adopted, the extension 24a may abut against the upper edge of the first opening 41 in the vertical direction, that is, the extension 24a and the panel body 40 may be engaged to cause the support structure 20 to support the load.

[0044] Furthermore, the extensions 24a do not abut against both side edges of the first opening 41 in the left-right direction (Y-axis direction). At least one of the extensions 24a (ends of the pair of second rods 24) may abut against a side edge of the first opening 41. Also, for example, at least one of the extensions 24a may abut against one of the side edges of the first opening 41 when the position of the extensions 24a moves slightly in the left-right direction (Y-axis direction). Furthermore, the extensions 24a may abut against both side edges of the first opening 41 and engage with the first opening 41.

[0045] As shown in Fig. 9, the external shape of the wiring housing 50 arranged on the back side of the panel body 40 is larger than the first opening 41. For this reason, the wiring housing 50 functions as a restricting portion 25 that restricts movement of the panel body 40 in a direction (-X side) away from the top plate 30. As shown in Fig. 8, by inserting the extension portion 24a into the first opening 41, the positions of the panel body 40 and the support structure 20 (furniture 10 with a top plate) can be adjusted along the extension direction (X-axis direction) of the extension portion 24a.

[0046] Specifically, movement of the support structure 20 toward the -X side is restricted by the wiring housing 50, but movement of the support structure 20 toward the +X side is possible until the wiring housing 50 abuts against the wall 101. In other words, the positions of the panel body 40 and the support structure 20 can be adjusted by the dimensional difference in the X-axis direction between the shielding side plate 71 abutting against the wall 101 and the wiring housing 50. Note that in the X-axis direction, the shielding side plate 71 is larger than the wiring housing 50.

[0047] After adjusting the positions of the support structure 20 and the panel body 40, the top plate 30 is attached to complete the assembly of the furniture unit 1 with a top plate. In cases where the panel body 40 does not have support pieces 45 and the support structure 20 bears the entire load of the top plate 30, the positions of the panel body 40 and the furniture unit 10 with a top plate can be adjusted along the extension 24a depending on the size of the top plate 30 in the front-to-rear direction (X-axis direction) even after the top plate 30 is attached.

[0048] As shown in Fig. 9, the second lid body 61 is disposed above the top plate 30. The second lid body 61 has a rectangular shape that is long in the vertical direction (Z-axis direction) when viewed from the front. The surface of the second lid body 61 is attached so as to be flush with the surface of the panel body 40. This allows the furniture to have an excellent appearance.

[0049] As shown in Fig. 9, the second cover 61 has a length in the up-down direction smaller than that of the second opening 42. Therefore, a gap that is not covered by the second cover 61 is formed at the upper end of the second opening 42. A wiring cable 112 is inserted and arranged in the gap, as shown in Fig. 10 described later. This allows power and the like to be supplied to the monitor 103.

[0050] FIG. 10 is a vertical cross-sectional view of the tabletop-equipped furniture unit 1 according to the first embodiment. As shown in FIG. 10, a connector 110 is provided on the wall 101. The connector 110 is connected to a power source, a router, etc. (not shown). Wiring cables 111 and 112 extend from the connector 110. At least a part of the connector 110 and the wiring cables 111 and 112 is accommodated in the wiring accommodation space 51 of the wiring accommodation body 50. In this way, by arranging the wiring accommodation body 50 on the rear side of the panel body 40, the appearance of the entire fixture is not deteriorated and the fixture is not likely to come into contact with the lower limbs of the user. If the wall 101 does not have the connector 110, a wiring tap (not shown) connected to the electrical wiring raised from the floor surface can be installed in the wiring accommodation space 51. In this case, the wiring tap may be placed on the upper surface of the bottom beam material 54. Furthermore, in this case, a guide hole penetrating upward may be formed in the bottom beam material 54 in order to easily guide the electrical wiring upward.

[0051] The wiring cable 111 extends from the wiring accommodation space 51 on the back side (+X side) of the panel body 40, through the gap between the first opening 41 and the first cover 60, to the front side (-X side) of the panel body 40. The wiring cable 111 passes under the top plate 30 (-Z side) and is connected to the connection device 113. The connection device 113 is disposed under the top plate cover 34, and is supported by the rack 26 attached to the underside of the top plate 30.

[0052] The wiring cable 112 extends from the wiring accommodating space 51 on the rear side (+X side) of the panel body 40, through the gap between the wiring accommodating body 50 and the wall 101, and to the outside of the wiring accommodating space 51. The wiring cable 112 extends through the gap between the second opening 42 and the second cover body 61, and to the front side (-X side) of the panel body 40. The wiring cable 112 is connected to the rear side of the monitor 103.

[0053] As such, the display unit 1 with a tabletop according to the present embodiment described above comprises a support structure 20 having a grounding portion 22, a display unit 10 with a tabletop having a tabletop 30 supported by the support structure 20, and a panel body 40 standing upright along the side edge 31 of the tabletop 30, the display unit 10 with a tabletop having an extension portion 24a extending toward the panel body 40, and the panel body 40 having a first opening 41 (insertion hole) into which the extension portion 24a is inserted and can be adjusted in position along the extension portion 24a.

[0054] According to this configuration, a first opening 41 is provided in the panel body 40, and the extension 24a of the tabletop-equipped fixture 10 is inserted into this first opening 41, so that the panel body 40 and the tabletop-equipped fixture 10 can be engaged so that their positions can be adjusted along the extension direction (X-axis direction) of the extension 24a. This improves the degree of freedom in arranging the tabletop-equipped fixture unit 1 having the panel body 40.

[0055] Moreover, in this embodiment, a restricting portion 25 is provided which is connected to the extension portion 24a and restricts the movement of the panel body 40 in a direction away from the top plate 30. According to this configuration, the presence of the restricting portion 25 in the extension portion 24a restricts the movement of the panel body 40 in a direction away from the top plate 30, so that the positioning of the panel body 40 on the extension portion 24a can be easily performed.

[0056] In this embodiment, the support structure 20 includes a pair of second rods 24 (rods) extending toward the panel body 40, and the ends of the pair of second rods 24 on the panel body 40 side form the extensions 24a. With this configuration, the ends of the pair of second rods 24 of the support structure 20 can be used to easily form the extensions 24a.

[0057] Moreover, in this embodiment, the panel body 40 has a dividing surface 43 that passes through the first opening 41, and can be divided into a first panel piece 40A and a second panel piece 40B via the dividing surface 43. According to this configuration, by giving the panel body 40 a divided structure, the panel body 40 can be easily engaged with the extension portion 24a.

[0058] Moreover, in this embodiment, the panel body 40 has a grounding portion 46 (second grounding portion) that is grounded at a position different from the grounding portion 22. With this configuration, the panel body 40 can stand on its own thanks to the grounding portion 46, and it is no longer necessary for the extension portion 24a to have a function of supporting the panel body 40, so that the extension portion 24a can be made smaller.

[0059] Although the preferred embodiment of the present invention has been described above with reference to the drawings, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. The shapes and combinations of the components shown in the above embodiment are merely examples, and various modifications can be made based on design requirements, etc., without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

[0060] Second embodiment Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. In the following description, the same or equivalent configurations as those in the above-described embodiment are given the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be simplified or omitted.

[0061] Fig. 11 is a rear view of the tabletop-equipped furniture unit 1 according to the second embodiment. Fig. 12 is a plan sectional view of the tabletop-equipped furniture unit 1 according to the second embodiment. As shown in these figures, the second embodiment differs from the above-described embodiments in that a wiring housing 50 (restricting portion 25) is provided in a frame structure 120 arranged on the rear side of a panel body 40.

[0062] 11, the frame structure 120 includes a back plate 121, a lower plate 122, an upper plate 123, a pair of side plates 124, a middle plate 125, a pair of first vertical plates 126, and a pair of second vertical plates 127. Since the frame structure 120 is relatively larger than the wiring housing 50 of the first embodiment, it is preferable to form it from a wooden frame, which is lighter than a metal frame.

[0063] The rear plate 121 is formed in a rectangular plate shape and is disposed inside the shielding body 70. The rear plate 121 is fixed to the rear side of the panel body 40 via bolts or the like (not shown). A first communication portion 121a and a second communication portion 121b are formed in the rear plate 121. The first communication portion 121a penetrates in the front-rear direction (X-axis direction) and communicates with a first opening 41 formed in the panel body 40. The second communication portion 121b penetrates in the front-rear direction (X-axis direction) and communicates with a second opening 42 formed in the panel body 40.

[0064] The lower plate 122 is fixed to the lower edge of the back plate 121 via bolts or the like (not shown). The lower plate 122 extends in the left-right direction (Y-axis direction) along the lower edge of the back plate 121. The lower plate 122 is provided with a plurality of grounding portions 52 spaced apart in the left-right direction. The frame structure 120 is made self-supporting by the plurality of grounding portions 52. The lower plate 122 may also be formed with guide holes for inserting electrical wiring erected from the floor surface and guiding it into the wiring accommodation space 51.

[0065] The upper plate 123 is fixed to the upper edge of the back plate 121 via bolts (not shown) or the like. The upper plate 123 extends in the left-right direction (Y-axis direction) along the upper edge of the back plate 121. The upper plate 123 is disposed below the above-mentioned first connecting portion 80. Of the above-mentioned pair of upper and lower second connecting portions 90, the second connecting portion 90 disposed on the lower side is disposed on the back side (-X side) of the back plate 121.

[0066] The pair of side plates 124 are fixed to the left and right edges of the rear plate 121 via bolts or the like (not shown). The pair of side plates 124 extend in the up-down direction (Z-axis direction) along the left and right edges of the rear plate 121. A lower plate 122, an upper plate 123, and a middle plate 125 are fixed to the pair of side plates 124. The pair of side plates 124 are also fixed to the shield 70 (a pair of shielding side plates 71) via bolts or the like (not shown).

[0067] The middle plate 125 is fixed via bolts (not shown) or the like at approximately the middle height of an area surrounded by the lower plate 122, the upper plate 123, and the pair of side plates 124 of the rear plate 121. The middle plate 125 extends in the left-right direction (Y-axis direction) at approximately the middle height of the rear plate 121. A first opening 41 (first communication portion 121a) is disposed on the lower side of the middle plate 125, and a second opening 42 (second communication portion 121b) is disposed on the upper side of the middle plate 125.

[0068] The pair of first vertical plates 126 are fixed between the middle plate 125 and the lower plate 122 of the back plate 121 via bolts or the like (not shown). The pair of first vertical plates 126 extend parallel to each other in the up-down direction (Z-axis direction) with a gap in the left-right direction (Y-axis direction). The pair of first vertical plates 126, together with the lower plate 122 and the middle plate 125, form the wiring housing body 50. The middle plate 125 has a through hole 125a formed therethrough in the up-down direction (Z-axis direction) to communicate the wiring housing space 51 with the second opening 42.

[0069] The pair of second vertical plates 127 are fixed between the middle plate 125 and the upper plate 123 of the back plate 121 via bolts or the like (not shown). The pair of second vertical plates 127 extend parallel to each other in the up-down direction (Z-axis direction) with a gap therebetween in the left-right direction (Y-axis direction). The pair of second vertical plates 127 are disposed at a distance greater than the gap between the pair of first vertical plates 126 in the left-right direction. A second opening 42 (second communication portion 121b) is disposed between the pair of second vertical plates 127.

[0070] A fixed plate 130 is disposed inside the space surrounded by the lower plate 122, the middle plate 125, and the pair of first vertical plates 126. The fixed plate 130 is fixed to the pair of first vertical plates 126 via bolts or the like (not shown), and shields the wiring accommodating space 51 from the rear side (+X side). A connection hole 130a penetrating in the front-rear direction (Z-axis direction) is formed in the fixed plate 130. The connection hole 130a is formed to pass the wiring cables 111, 112 shown in FIG. 10 through the wiring accommodating space 51.

[0071] 12, an extension 24a is fixed to the front side (-X side) of the fixed plate 130. A fixed piece 131 is attached to the extended portion 24a in the second embodiment. The fixed piece 131 is fixed to the fixed plate 130 via a bolt or the like. That is, in the second embodiment, the fixed plate 130 connected to the extended portion 24a, the pair of side plates 124 to which the fixed plate 130 is fixed, and ultimately the entire frame structure 120 constitute the restricting portion 25.

[0072] In the above configuration, as in the first embodiment, the presence of the regulating portion 25 on the extension portion 24a restricts movement of the panel body 40 in the direction away from the top plate 30, making it easy to position the panel body 40 on the extension portion 24a.
