Abstract
Description
[Technical field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a fixture with a top plate. [Background technology]
[0002] Conventionally, there are furniture pieces with tabletops that have a lifting mechanism on the legs to allow the tabletop to be raised and lowered as tables used in conference rooms, etc. In furniture pieces with tabletops that have a lifting mechanism on the legs to raise and lower the tabletop, when the lifting mechanism is electrically raised and lowered, the furniture pieces with tabletops often have a control device that controls the lifting mechanism and an input device (controller) that allows a user to operate the raising and lowering of the tabletop.
[0003] A fixture with a top that is equipped with a control device or the like has a support member for housing or supporting the control device and wiring such as a power line or communication line connected to the control device. By providing the support member for supporting the wiring below the top, the wiring can be made less visible to users, improving the aesthetic appearance of the fixture with a top. Furthermore, the top of a fixture with a top often has an opening for pulling out wiring (such as a power line or communication line) connected to office equipment or the like that a user uses on the top from below to above the top.
[0004] A hub mounting device described in Patent Document 1 is a hub mounting device that is attached to a wiring duct of a table. A table equipped with a hub mounting device described in Patent Document 1 includes a top plate having an opening for wiring in the center, a substantially U-shaped wiring duct arranged below the opening, a pair of panel legs arranged at both ends of the top plate in the left-right direction to support the top plate, and an intermediate leg arranged midway between the pair of panel legs in the left-right direction to support the top plate. The wiring duct has side walls arranged opposite to each other in the depth direction, and is arranged by connecting the panel leg and the intermediate leg. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]
[0005] [Patent Document 1] Publication No. 2010-110473 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0006] However, in a table equipped with a hub mounting device described in Patent Document 1, a wiring duct communicating with an opening in the tabletop forms a connecting member that connects the panel legs. Therefore, the wiring duct has little flexibility in changing its position in response to changes in the design of the fixture (table). For fixtures equipped with such a wiring duct, for example, it may be difficult to change the shape of the legs and change their position relative to the tabletop in the depth direction. In addition, since the wiring path is closed by the side walls of the wiring duct, maintenance workability for wiring, etc. may be poor.
[0007] In consideration of the above circumstances, the present invention aims to provide a fixture with a tabletop that can improve the freedom of attachment position of an electrical system support member that supports wiring. [Means for solving the problem]
[0008] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention proposes the following means. A first aspect of the present invention provides a fixture with a tabletop comprising a pair of support pillars having a contact surface and spaced apart in the left-right direction, a connecting member extending in the left-right direction and connecting the upper ends of the pair of support pillars, a tabletop supported by at least one of the support pillars and the connecting member, an electrical system support member having a fixed part connected to the underside of the tabletop, and a receiving surface part having one end in the front-to-rear direction connected to the lower end of the fixed part and extending in the front-to-rear direction, the receiving surface part being arranged below the connecting member, and the electrical system support member can be arranged in a first arrangement in which the other end of the receiving surface part is located forward of the fixed part, and a second arrangement in which the other end of the receiving surface part is located rearward of the fixed part, and in the first arrangement, the fixed part is arranged rearward of the connecting member, and in the second arrangement, the fixed part is arranged forward of the connecting member.
[0009] According to the first aspect of the fixture with a tabletop, the electrical system support member includes a fixed portion connected to the underside of the tabletop, and a receiving surface portion having one end connected to the lower end of the fixed portion and provided below the connecting member. The electrical system support member can be arranged in a first arrangement in which the other end of the receiving surface portion is located forward of the fixed portion, and in a second arrangement in which the other end of the receiving surface portion is located rearward of the fixed portion, so that even if the position of the connecting member relative to the tabletop is changed, the electrical system support member can be provided in an appropriate position depending on the position of the connecting member, thereby improving the degree of freedom in the installation position of the electrical system support member.
[0010] A second aspect of the present invention relates to a fixture with a tabletop, wherein in the fixture with a tabletop of the first aspect, the fixed part comprises a plate part extending in the vertical direction and a bent part in which the upper end of the plate part is bent in the front-to-rear direction, and the bent part faces the underside of the tabletop and is connected to the underside of the tabletop.
[0011] In the second aspect of the fixture with a tabletop, the fixed part has a bent portion in which the upper end of the plate part extending in the vertical direction is bent in the front-to-back direction, and the bent portion faces the underside of the tabletop and is connected to the underside of the tabletop. Therefore, the fixed part can be easily connected to the underside of the tabletop with, for example, a fastening bolt or fastening screw, and the electrical system support member can be easily fixed to the tabletop without any special ingenuity being applied to the tabletop side.
[0012] A third aspect of the present invention relates to a fixture with a top plate, wherein the support column is provided with a lifting mechanism capable of raising and lowering the top plate in the vertical direction in the fixture with a top plate of the first aspect.
[0013] According to the third aspect of the display fixture with a tabletop, the support column is equipped with a lifting mechanism that can raise and lower the tabletop in the vertical direction, so that the height of the tabletop can be changed depending on the user's physique and purpose of use.
[0014] A fourth aspect of the present invention is a fixture with a tabletop according to any one of the first to third aspects, in which the connecting members are provided in a pair spaced apart in the fore-and-aft direction, and the length of the receiving surface in the fore-and-aft direction is greater than or equal to the spacing between the pair of connecting members in the fore-and-aft direction.
[0015] In the fourth aspect of the display fixture with a tabletop, the length in the front-to-back direction of the receiving surface of the electrical system support member is greater than or equal to the front-to-back arrangement spacing of a pair of connecting members, so that when the electrical system support member is positioned below the connecting members, the opposing surfaces of the pair of connecting members and the receiving surface cooperate to form a large wiring space in the vertical direction.
[0016] A fifth aspect of the present invention is a fixture with a top plate of any of the first to third aspects, which comprises a fascia board that is arranged rearward of the connecting member and extends in the left-right direction, and the fixed portion of the electrical system support member arranged in the first position is arranged between the connecting member and the fascia board in the front-to-back direction.
[0017] In the fifth aspect of the fixture with a top, the fixed portion of the electrical system support member arranged in the first position is provided between the connecting member and the back panel, so that the connecting member, the back panel and the receiving surface portion work together to form a large wiring space in the vertical direction. Effect of the Invention
[0018] According to the display unit with a top plate of the present invention, it is possible to provide a display unit with a top plate that allows for greater freedom in the mounting position of the electrical system support member that supports the wiring. [Brief description of the drawings]

[Figure 8] 8 is a cross-sectional view taken along line VIII-VIII in FIG. 7. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0020] An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Fig. 1 is a perspective view showing a fixture 1 with a top plate according to this embodiment. Fig. 2 is an exploded perspective view showing the fixture 1 with a top plate.
[0021] The tabletop fixture 1 is a table that includes a pair of support posts 10 having a contact surface and a tabletop 30 supported by the pair of support posts 10, and is used, for example, in a conference room or the like.
[0022] 1, in this embodiment, the vertical direction in the fixture 1 with a top is defined as the "up-down direction V," the vertically upward direction is defined as the "upward UP" in the vertical direction V, and the vertically downward direction is defined as the "downward LO" in the vertical direction V. In addition, of the horizontal directions perpendicular to the vertical direction V, the direction in which the pair of support columns 10 are spaced apart is defined as the "left-right direction (width direction) W," one in the left-right direction W is defined as the "left LT," and the other is defined as the "right RT" in the left-right direction W. In addition, the direction perpendicular to the vertical direction V and the left-right direction W is defined as the "front-to-rear direction D," one in the front-to-rear direction D is defined as the "forward FR," and the other is defined as the "rear RR" in the front-to-rear direction D.
[0023] The fixture 1 with a tabletop comprises a pair of support posts 10, a connecting member 20, a tabletop 30, an electrical system support member 40, and a control device 50.
[0024] The support pillars 10 are legs of the furniture 1 with a top, and are provided as a pair spaced apart in the left-right direction W. The support pillars 10 shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 are legs called panel legs or T-shaped legs.
[0025] The support column 10 includes a ground contact portion 10s, a lifting mechanism 11, and a panel portion 12. The ground contact portion 10s is a ground surface of the pole portion 10 that can come into contact with the floor surface or the ground. In this embodiment, the pole portion 10 has four ground contact portions 10s as shown in Fig. 1. The number of ground contact portions 10s provided on the pole portion 10 is not limited to four, and may be three or less, or five or more.
[0026] Fig. 3 is a plan view showing the furniture 1 with a top plate, and Fig. 4 is a cross-sectional view taken along line IV-IV in Fig. 3.
[0027] The lifting mechanism 11 is capable of lifting and lowering a top plate 30 (described later) in a vertical direction V. The lifting mechanism 11 includes a first upper end portion 11a, a second upper end portion 11b, a support main body portion 11c, a first lifting and lowering portion 11d, a second lifting and lowering portion 11e, and a fixed cylinder portion 11f.
[0028] The first upper end portion 11a is provided at the upper end (the end portion on the upward side UP) of the support portion 10, and is a member having an upper surface extending in the front-rear direction D.
[0029] The second upper end portion 11b is provided at the upper end of the support portion 10, and is a member having an upper surface extending in the left-right direction W. As shown in Fig. 3, the second upper end portion 11b is provided protruding from the support portion 10 toward the inside of the tabletop-equipped fixture 1 in the left-right direction W. Here, the inside of the tabletop-equipped fixture 1 refers to the direction in which the pair of support portions 10 face each other.
[0030] The support body 11c is a box-shaped member connected to the lower portion LO of the first upper end portion 11a and the second upper end portion 11b as shown in Fig. 4. The support body 11c is connected to a control device 50, which will be described later, via wiring (not shown).
[0031] As shown in FIG. 4, the first lifting portion 11d is a member that extends in the vertical direction V and has an upper end connected to the lower portion LO of the support main body portion 11c.
[0032] The second lifting / lowering portion 11e is a hollow member extending in the up-down direction V. As shown in Fig. 4, the first lifting / lowering portion 11d is inserted into the second lifting / lowering portion 11e.
[0033] The fixed cylinder portion 11f is a hollow member extending in the vertical direction V. As shown in Fig. 4, the first lifting portion 11d and the second lifting portion 11e are inserted into the fixed cylinder portion 11f.
[0034] The first lifting / lowering section 11d is provided so as to be able to rise and fall in the vertical direction V relative to the second lifting / lowering section 11e and the fixed cylinder section 11f. The second lifting / lowering section 11e is provided so as to be able to rise and fall in the vertical direction V relative to the first lifting / lowering section 11d and the fixed cylinder section 11f. The nested first lifting / lowering section 11d and second lifting / lowering section 11e rise and fall in the vertical direction V relative to the fixed cylinder section 11f, so that the first upper end section 11a, the second upper end section 11b, and the support main body section 11c provided at the upper end of the first lifting / lowering section 11d can rise and fall in the vertical direction V.
[0035] The panel portion 12 includes a first panel portion 12a and a second panel portion 12b. The panel portion 12 is a cover member that covers the first lifting / lowering portion 11d, the second lifting / lowering portion 11e, and the fixed cylinder portion 11f in the horizontal direction (the front-rear direction D and the left-right direction W).
[0036] An upper end of the first panel portion 12a is connected to the first upper end portion 11a. Therefore, when the lifting mechanism 11 moves up and down in the vertical direction V, the first panel portion 12a moves up and down together with the first upper end portion 11a.
[0037] The second panel portion 12b is inserted through the inside of the first panel portion 12a, and the first panel portion 12a and the second panel portion 12b are nested within each other. Furthermore, when the lifting mechanism 11 moves up and down in the vertical direction V, the second panel portion 12b does not move up and down.
[0038] Therefore, when the lifting mechanism 11 moves up and down in the vertical direction V, the first panel portion 12a moves up and down in the vertical direction V relative to the second panel portion 12b. Because the second panel portion 12b passes through the inside of the first panel portion 12a, when the first panel portion 12a moves upward UP relative to the second panel portion 12b, a part of the second panel portion 12b that was passed through the inside of the first panel portion 12a becomes exposed from the lower end of the first panel portion 12a.
[0039] As a result, even when the lifting mechanism 11 moves up and down in the vertical direction V, the panel portion 12 can maintain a state in which it covers the first lifting portion 11d, the second lifting portion 11e and the fixed cylinder portion 11f in the horizontal direction.
[0040] The connecting member 20 is a member extending in the left-right direction W, and connects the upper ends of a pair of support columns 10 as shown in Figures 2 and 3. Specifically, the connecting member 20 is connected to the second upper ends 11b. The tabletop-equipped furniture 1 also includes a pair of connecting members 20 spaced apart in the front-rear direction D, and the pair of connecting members 20 are disposed to sandwich the second upper ends 11b of the pair of support columns 10 in the front-rear direction D.
[0041] The top plate 30 is a plate-like member supported by a pair of support columns 10 and a pair of connecting members 20, and forms the upper surface (upward UP surface) of the tabletop-equipped furniture 1. As shown in Fig. 3, the top plate 30 covers the pair of support columns 10 and the pair of connecting members 20 from the upward UP.
[0042] The top plate 30 is provided with a wire-passing opening 30h that penetrates the top plate 30 in the up-down direction V. The top plate 30 also has a lid portion 31 that is detachably provided on the top plate 30 and can close the wire-passing opening 30h.
[0043] The top plate 30 also includes a back panel 32 that extends in the vertical direction V and the horizontal direction W and is connected to the lower part LO of the top plate 30. The fascia 32 is a plate-like member that covers the connecting member 20 and the electrical system support member 40 from the rear RR. By providing the fascia 32 on the tabletop 30, the connecting member 20 and the electrical system support member 40 can be made less visible to a user positioned at the rear RR of the tabletop-equipped fixture 1, thereby improving the aesthetic appearance of the tabletop-equipped fixture 1.
[0044] FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view taken along line VV in FIG. 5, the top panel 30 and the back panel 32 are connected via an L-shaped connecting member 33. Here, the L-shape does not have to be strictly an L shape.
[0045] A plurality of fixing portions 30f are provided on the lower surface (the lower LO surface) of the top plate 30. The fixing portions 30f are, for example, holes in which the lower surface of the top plate 30 is recessed upward UP. As shown in FIG. 5, one end of the connection member 33 is connected to the fixing portions 30f via a fastening bolt Bt. When the fixing portions 30f are fastening holes as shown in FIG. 5, it is preferable that the fixing portions 30f do not penetrate the top plate 30.
[0046] 5, the other end of the connecting member 33 is connected to the front panel 32 via a fastening screw Sr. As shown in FIG 3, a pair of connecting members 33 are provided spaced apart in the left-right direction W.
[0047] FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view taken along line VI-VI in FIG. The electrical system support member 40 is provided below the top plate 30, LO, as shown in FIGS.
[0048] The electric system support member 40 includes a fixed portion 41 and a receiving surface portion 42 . The fixed portion 41 includes a plate portion 41a and a bent portion 41b.
[0049] The plate portion 41a is a plate-shaped portion extending in the up-down direction V as shown in FIG. The bent portion 41b is a portion where the upper end portion of the plate portion 41a is bent in the front-rear direction D. In the example shown in Fig. 6, the bent portion 41b is a portion where the upper end portion of the plate portion 41a is bent backward RR.
[0050] A fixing portion 30f is provided on the underside of the top plate 30 facing the bent portion 41b in the up-down direction V. The bent portion 41b is connected to the fixing portion 30f on the underside of the top plate 30 via a fastening member such as a fastening bolt Bt. That is, in the electric system support member 40, the fixed portion 41 is connected to the underside of the top plate 30.
[0051] Here, since the electrical system support member 40 has the bent portion 41b facing the underside of the top plate 30, the fixed portion 41 can be easily connected to the underside of the top plate 30 using the fastening bolt Bt. Therefore, the electrical system support member 40 can be easily fixed to the top plate 30 without any special measures being taken on the top plate 30 side.
[0052] The receiving surface portion 42 is a member extending in the front-rear direction D, and one end 42a of the receiving surface portion 42 in the front-rear direction D is connected to the lower end of the fixed portion 41. Specifically, the one end 42a of the receiving surface portion 42 is connected to the lower end of the plate portion 41a. In the example shown in FIG. 6, the one end 42a of the receiving surface portion 42 connected to the lower end of the fixed portion 41 indicates the rear RR end of the receiving surface portion 42.
[0053] 6, the receiving surface portion 42 is provided below the connecting member 20 at a position LO. The other end 42b of the receiving surface portion 42 is located forward of the fixed portion 41 at a position FR.
[0054] Here, the arrangement of the electric system support member 40 in which the other end 42b of the receiving surface portion 42 is located forward FR of the fixed portion 41 is referred to as a first arrangement P1. That is, the electric system support member 40 shown in Fig. 6 is arranged in the first arrangement P1. When the electric system support member 40 is arranged in the first arrangement P1, the fixed portion 41 is provided rearward RR of the connecting member 20.
[0055] Moreover, the length L1 of the receiving surface portion 42 in the front-rear direction D is equal to or greater than the arrangement interval L2 in the front-rear direction D of the pair of connecting members 20. Here, the length L1 of the receiving surface portion 42 in the front-rear direction D refers to the dimension of the receiving surface portion 42 in the front-rear direction D. Moreover, the arrangement interval L2 in the front-rear direction D of the pair of connecting members 20 refers to the dimension between opposing surfaces of the pair of connecting members 20. In other words, it refers to the distance between the surface of the connecting member 20 at the front FR arranged at the rear RR and the surface of the connecting member 20 at the rear RR arranged at the front FR.
[0056] As shown in FIG. 6, the fixed portion 41 of the electric system support member 40 arranged in the first position P1 is provided between the connecting member 20 and the front panel 32 in the front-rear direction D.
[0057] The receiving surface portion 42 can support or house electronic devices such as the control device 50 and wiring in the electric system support member 40. As shown in Fig. 3, a pair of electric system support members 40 are provided spaced apart in the left-right direction W. In the example shown in Fig. 2, the control device 50 is placed on the receiving surface portion 42 of the electric system support member 40 provided on the right side RT.
[0058] The control device 50 is, for example, a control device capable of controlling the lifting mechanism 11. The control device 50 is connected to the lifting mechanism 11 and an input device (not shown) via wiring. Here, the input device is a controller for a user to operate the lifting mechanism 11.
[0059] A user can operate the lifting mechanism 11 by operating the input device to change the height of the tabletop 30. The control device 50 controls the lifting mechanism 11 based on the operation input to the input device. The upper surface of the receiving surface portion 42 of the electric system support member 40 supports the control device 50 and wiring connected to the control device 50.
[0060] The electric system support member 40 has an L-shape in a cross section parallel to the vertical direction V. The L-shape does not have to be strictly L-shaped. The other end 42b of the receiving surface portion 42 is a free end as shown in FIG. 6. The free end refers to an end that is not connected to other surrounding parts or members. Therefore, the user can easily perform wiring work, etc. by approaching the wiring passing through the upper surface of the receiving surface portion 42 or the control device 50 placed on the upper surface of the receiving surface portion 42 from the side where the free end of the receiving surface portion 42 is located (here, the front FR).
[0061] Here, the wiring passing through the upper surface of the receiving surface portion 42 is not limited to wiring connected to the control device 50. For example, when a user uses an electronic device such as an office automation device on the upper surface of the tabletop 30, the user pulls out wiring such as a power line or a communication line passing through the upper surface of the receiving surface portion 42 from the wire-passing opening 30h to the upper surface of the tabletop 30 and connects it to the electronic device. Since the lid portion 31 is detachably provided on the wire-passing opening 30h, the user can remove the lid portion 31 from the wire-passing opening 30h and pull out the wiring from the wire-passing opening 30h.
[0062] In this way, by supporting the wiring with the receiving surface 42 of the electrical system support member 40 provided on the underside LO of the tabletop 30, the wiring can be made less visible to the user, improving the aesthetic appearance of the tabletop-equipped fixture 1. Also, since the amount of wiring appearing on the top surface of the tabletop 30 can be reduced, reduction in the working space on the top surface of the tabletop 30 due to the wiring can be suppressed.
[0063] The fixed portion 41 of the electric system support member 40 arranged in the first position P1 is provided between the connecting member 20 and the header 32. Therefore, the connecting member 20, the header 32 and the receiving surface portion 42 cooperate to form a large wiring space in the vertical direction V, and the wiring can be passed through this wiring space. As shown in Fig. 6, a space (wiring space) sufficient for passing the wiring is formed above UP of the receiving surface portion 42.
[0064] Fig. 7 is a perspective view showing an L-leg type furniture unit 1A with a top plate, and Fig. 8 is a cross-sectional view taken along line VIII-VIII in Fig. 7.
[0065] Here, the fixture with a tabletop 1A is a fixture with a tabletop that is different from the fixture with a tabletop 1 described above in that the shape of the legs (support parts) is different.
[0066] The fixture with a tabletop 1A comprises a pair of support posts 10A, a connecting member 20, a tabletop 30, an electrical system support member 40, and a control device 50.
[0067] As shown in FIG. 7, the support column 10A has an L-shape in plan view from the left-right direction W. The L-shape does not necessarily have to be an L-shape. The support column 10A is a leg called an L-leg. The upper end of the support column 10A is connected to the top plate 30. The support column 10A has a lifting mechanism capable of lifting the top plate 30 in the up-down direction V, similar to the support column 10, which is a panel leg.
[0068] The upper end of the support 10A, which is an L-shaped leg connected to the top plate 30, is located rearward RR compared to the upper end of the support 10, which is a panel leg. Therefore, as shown in Fig. 8, the connecting member 20 connecting the upper ends of the pair of support parts 10A is located rearward RR than the connecting member 20 connecting the pair of support parts 10 shown in Fig. 6.
[0069] Compared with the panel-leg type tabletop-equipped fixture 1 shown in FIG. 6, the L-leg type tabletop-equipped fixture 1A shown in FIG. 8 has a narrow gap in the front-to-rear direction D between the connecting member 20 and the apron 32.
[0070] Also, as shown in Figure 8, in the L-leg type tabletop-equipped fixture 1A, the electrical system support member 40 is arranged in the opposite direction in the front-to-back direction D to the electrical system support member 40 of the panel-leg type tabletop-equipped fixture 1 shown in Figure 6.
[0071] Specifically, the other end 42b of the receiving surface portion 42 is disposed rearward RR from the fixed portion 41. The arrangement of the electric system support member 40 in which the other end 42b of the receiving surface portion 42 is disposed rearward RR from the fixed portion 41 is referred to as a second arrangement P2. That is, the electric system support member 40 shown in FIG. 8 is disposed in the second arrangement P2.
[0072] The electric system support member 40 arranged in the second position P2 has the fixed portion 41 provided forward FR of the connecting member 20. Therefore, even if the gap between the connecting member 20 and the front panel 32 in the front-rear direction D is narrow, the bent portion 41b of the fixed portion 41 can be connected to the underside of the top panel 30.
[0073] As described above, the length L1 of the receiving surface portion 42 in the front-rear direction D is equal to or greater than the arrangement interval L2 in the front-rear direction D of the pair of connecting members 20. Therefore, even when the electric-system support member 40 is located below the connecting members 20 LO as shown in Fig. 8, a large wiring space can be formed in the vertical direction V by the opposing surfaces of the pair of connecting members 20 and the receiving surface portion 42 in cooperation, and wiring can be passed through this wiring space. As shown in Fig. 8, a space (wiring space) sufficient for passing wiring is formed above the receiving surface portion 42 UP.
[0074] 6 and 8, the electrical system support member 40 of the tabletop-equipped fixture 1, 1A can be arranged in a first arrangement P1 and a second arrangement P2. Here, being able to be arranged in the first arrangement P1 and the second arrangement P2 means that the electrical system support member 40 can be connected to the same tabletop 30 in either the first arrangement P1 or the second arrangement P2. For example, the tabletop 30 is provided with a fixing portion 30f to which the electrical system support member 40 arranged in the first arrangement P1 is fixed, and a fixing portion 30f to which the electrical system support member 40 arranged in the second arrangement P2 is fixed.
[0075] Therefore, even if the support portion 10, which is a panel leg, is changed to the support portion 10A, which is an L-shaped leg, and the position of the connecting member 20 in the fore-and-aft direction D relative to the top plate 30 is changed accordingly, by selecting the first arrangement P1 or the second arrangement P2 depending on the position of the connecting member 20 and providing the electrical system support member 40, sufficient wiring space can be formed above the receiving surface portion 42.
[0076] The furniture 1, 1A with a tabletop of this embodiment includes a pair of support pillars 10, 10A having a ground contact surface and spaced apart in the left-right direction W, a connecting member 20 extending in the left-right direction W and connecting the upper ends of the pair of support pillars 10, 10A, a tabletop 30 supported by the support pillars 10, 10A and the connecting member 20, and an electrical system support member 40. The electrical system support member 40 includes a fixed portion 41 connected to the underside of the tabletop 30, and a receiving surface portion 42 having one end 42a in the front-rear direction D connected to the lower end of the fixed portion 41 and extending in the front-rear direction D. The receiving surface portion 42 is provided below the connecting member 20, LO.
[0077] The electrical system support member 40 can be arranged in a first arrangement P1 in which the other end 42b of the receiving surface portion 42 is located forward FR of the fixed portion 41, and in a second arrangement P2 in which the other end 42b of the receiving surface portion 42 is located rearward RR of the fixed portion 41. In the first arrangement P1, the fixed portion 41 is located rearward RR of the connecting member 20, and in the second arrangement P2, the fixed portion 41 is located forward FR of the connecting member 20.
[0078] As a result, in the tabletop-equipped fixtures 1, 1A, the freedom of installation position of the electrical system support member 40 that supports the wiring can be improved, and regardless of whether the support portion 10 which is a panel leg or the support portion 10A which is an L-shaped leg is used, the arrangement can be changed according to the position of the connecting member 20, and sufficient wiring space can be formed above the receiving surface portion 42.
[0079] Although one embodiment of the present invention has been described in detail above with reference to the drawings, the specific configuration is not limited to this embodiment, and design modifications and the like within the scope of the present invention are also included. In addition, the components shown in the above-mentioned embodiment and the modified examples shown below can be appropriately combined to form a configuration.
[0080] (Variation 1) In the above embodiment, the tabletop-equipped fixture 1, 1A includes two electrical system support members 40, but the form of the tabletop-equipped fixture is not limited to this. The number of electrical system support members 40 included in the tabletop-equipped fixture may be one, or three or more.
[0081] (Variation 2) In the above embodiment, the tabletop 30 is supported by both the support column 10 and the connecting member 20, but it is also possible to adopt an embodiment in which the tabletop 30 is not supported by either the support column 10 or the connecting member 20. For example, the present invention can be implemented in a tabletop-equipped furniture in which the connecting member 20 connects a portion LO below the upper end of the support column 10 and is spaced apart from the underside of the tabletop 30.
[0082] (Variation 3) In the above embodiment, the apron 32 is connected to the top plate 30, but it may be connected to the connecting member 20 or the support portion 10.
[0083] (Variation 4) In the above embodiment, the connecting members 20 are arranged in a pair spaced apart in the front-rear direction D, but the number of connecting members 20 may be one or three or more. When there are three or more connecting members 20, the electric system support member 40 in the second arrangement P2 may be arranged on the front FR side in the front-rear direction D with respect to any one of the connecting members 20.
