[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a display unit with a tabletop. [Background technology]

[0002] In indoor spaces, furniture with a tabletop is used to provide a user with a workspace. Patent Document 1 discloses a furniture with a tabletop that is strengthened by connecting a plurality of upright supports and connecting rods that connect the supports to a cross rod. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Registered Utility Model No. 3236778 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] In the fixture with a tabletop disclosed in Patent Document 1, a cross rod connects the support and the connecting rod, so when force is applied to the tabletop, there is a risk that the support will tilt, causing the tabletop to swing.

[0005] Therefore, the present invention provides a display unit with a top that can prevent the top from shaking even when force is applied to the top. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] In order to solve the above problems, the present disclosure employs the following aspects. (1) A tabletop-equipped fixture according to one embodiment of the present disclosure includes a pair of first support members arranged at a distance from each other in a first direction and extending in a vertical direction, a pair of second support members arranged at a distance from each other in the first direction and on one side of the pair of first support members in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, and extending in the vertical direction, a pair of connecting members arranged at a distance from each other in the first direction and extending in the second direction, a connecting portion extending in the first direction and connecting the pair of connecting members, a tabletop portion supported by the pair of first support members and the pair of second support members and arranged above the pair of connecting members, and an underside of the tabletop portion. and a pair of brace members connecting the connecting members which are different from each other, wherein when viewed from the second direction, each of the pair of second support members overlaps with the first support members which are different from each other, each of the pair of connecting members connects the first support members and the second support members which are different from each other, each of the pair of brace members is positioned inward in the first direction toward the upper side, and the connecting portion is fixed to a portion on one side in the second direction of the brace members of each of the pair of connecting members and a portion on the other side in the second direction of the brace members of each of the pair of connecting members.

[0007] According to this aspect, the tabletop portion is connected to different connecting members via a pair of brace members, so that the rigidity of the tabletop-equipped fixture can be increased. Therefore, even if a force is applied to the tabletop portion, the tabletop portion can be prevented from swinging. Also, since each of the pair of brace members is positioned inward in the first direction D1 as it moves upward, the rigidity of the tabletop-equipped fixture in the first direction can be more suitably increased. Therefore, even if a force in the first direction is applied to the tabletop portion, the tabletop portion can be prevented from swinging in the first direction. As a result, the usability of the tabletop-equipped fixture can be improved when a user works on the tabletop-equipped fixture.

[0008] (2) In the fixture with a tabletop according to the aspect (1) above, it is preferable that the connecting portion connects the central portions of each of a pair of the connecting members in the second direction. According to this aspect, it is easy to prevent the lower legs of the user of the tabletop-equipped furniture from interfering with the connecting portion. Therefore, the front and rear spaces under the tabletop can be used as spaces capable of accommodating the user's lower legs. This improves the ease of use of the tabletop-equipped furniture when the user works on it.

[0009] (3) In the fixture with a tabletop according to the above aspect (1) or (2), it is preferable that each of the pair of brace members is fixed to a surface of the connecting member facing inward in the first direction. According to this aspect, since each of the pair of brace members supports the connecting members from the inside in the first direction, when a force acting in the inward direction in the first direction is applied to each connecting member, the connecting members can be more suitably prevented from bending inward in the first direction. Therefore, even if a force acting in the inward direction in the first direction is applied to each connecting member, the top plate portion can be more suitably prevented from rocking in the first direction.

[0010] (4) In a fixture with a tabletop relating to any one of the above aspects (1) to (3), the tabletop portion has a plate-shaped tabletop extending in a direction perpendicular to the up-down direction and a reinforcing member attached to the underside of the tabletop, the reinforcing member being made of metal, and each of the pair of brace members being preferably fixed to the reinforcing member. According to this aspect, since each brace member is fixed to a metal reinforcing member, it is easier to preferably increase the rigidity of the tabletop-equipped furniture. Therefore, even if a force is applied to the tabletop, the tabletop can be more preferably prevented from rocking.

[0011] (5) In a fixture with a tabletop relating to any one of the above aspects (1) to (4), it is preferable that the connecting portion has a first connecting member fixed to a portion of each of a pair of connecting members on one side in the second direction relative to the brace members, and a second connecting member fixed to a portion of each of a pair of connecting members on the other side in the second direction relative to the brace members. According to this aspect, when fixing the connecting parts to each connection member to which a pair of brace members is previously fixed in the manufacturing process of the tabletop-equipped fixture, interference between the connecting parts and each brace member can be suppressed. Therefore, the work of fixing the connecting parts to each connection member can be simplified, and an increase in the manufacturing process of the tabletop-equipped fixture can be suppressed.

[0012] (6) In the display unit with a tabletop according to the above aspect (5), it is preferable that the display unit further includes a shelf portion that is arranged between the first connecting member and the second connecting member and is supported by the first connecting member and the second connecting member. According to this embodiment, the user's luggage and the like can be placed on the shelf section arranged in the space below the top panel. This allows the area of ​​the top panel on which the user can work to be larger than when the user's luggage and the like are placed on the top panel. This makes it possible to more suitably improve the usability of the tabletop-equipped furniture when the user is working.

[0013] (7) In the fixture with a tabletop relating to the above-mentioned (6) aspect, it is preferable that both ends of the shelf portion in the first direction are provided with a notch that is open to the outside in the first direction, and each of the pair of brace members is passed through the notch. According to this aspect, interference between the shelf portion and the pair of brace members can be suppressed, so that the shelf portion can be stably mounted on the first connecting member and the second connecting member.

[0014] (8) In the display unit with a tabletop according to the above aspect (6) or (7), it is preferable that the shelf portion has a first shelf portion and a second shelf portion arranged next to the first shelf portion in the first direction. According to this aspect, in the manufacturing process of the tabletop-equipped fixture, when erecting the shelf portion on the connecting portion, the pair of brace members can be easily passed through the cutout portion by moving each of the first shelf portion and the second shelf portion from the inside in the first direction to the outside in the first direction. This makes it easy to prevent interference between the shelf portion and the pair of brace members when erecting the shelf portion on the connecting portion. Therefore, the work of erecting the shelf portion on the connecting portion can be simplified, and an increase in the manufacturing process of the tabletop-equipped fixture can be prevented. Effect of the Invention

[0015] According to this aspect, even if a force is applied to the top plate portion, the top plate portion can be prevented from rocking. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0043] As shown in FIG. 6, the first brace member 42 has a first brace body portion 42a and a first brace fixing portion 42b. The first brace body portion 42a is a hollow columnar shape that is located inward in the first direction D1 toward the upper side. The inside of the first brace body portion 42a is open to the lower side. As shown in FIG. 7, the upper end of the first brace body portion 42a is fixed by a screw 94 to the center in the first direction D1 of the surface facing downward of a reinforcing member 22c, which is attached to the center of the top plate lower surface 21a in the second direction D2, among the multiple reinforcing members 22. As a result, the first brace member 42 is fixed to the lower surface 20a of the top plate portion 20. The first brace member 42 is also fixed to the reinforcing member 22.

[0044] As shown in Fig. 6, the first brace fixing portion 42b is in the shape of a plate that spreads out on both sides in the second direction D2 from the lower end of the first brace main body portion 42a. As shown in Fig. 3, the first brace fixing portion 42b is fixed to a surface of one connecting member 36 facing inward in the first direction D1 by two screws 93. As a result, the first brace member 42 is fixed to the surface of one connecting member 36 facing inward in the first direction D1.

[0045] As shown in FIG. 1, the second brace member 43 has a second brace body portion 43a and a second brace fixing portion 43b. The second brace body portion 43a is a hollow columnar shape that is located inward in the first direction D1 toward the upper side.

As described above, the first brace member 42 is fixed to the reinforcing member 22. As a result, each of the pair of brace members 41 is fixed to the reinforcing member 22.

[0046] As shown in FIG. 1, the second brace fixing portion 43b is a plate-like portion extending from the lower end of the second brace main body portion 43a to both sides in the second direction D2. The second brace fixing portion 43b is fixed to the surface of the other connecting member 37 facing inward in the first direction D1 by two screws (not shown). As a result, the second brace member 43 is fixed to the surface of the other connecting member 37 facing inward in the first direction D1. As described above, the first brace member 42 is fixed to the surface of one connecting member 36 facing inward in the first direction D1. As a result, each of the pair of brace members 41 is fixed to the surface of the connecting member 35 facing inward in the first direction D1.

[0047] According to this embodiment, the tabletop-equipped furniture 10 includes a tabletop section 20 supported by a pair of first support members 31 and a pair of second support members 32 and disposed above a pair of connecting members 35, and a pair of brace members 41 that connect the underside 20a of the tabletop section 20 to the different connecting members 35. Each of the pair of connecting members 35 connects the different first support members 31 and second support members 32, and each of the pair of brace members 41 is positioned inward in the first direction D1 toward the upper side. Therefore, the tabletop section 20 is connected to the different connecting members 35 via the pair of brace members 41, so that the rigidity of the tabletop-equipped furniture 10 can be increased. Therefore, even if a force is applied to the tabletop section 20, the tabletop section 20 can be prevented from rocking. This makes it possible to prevent the tabletop portion 20 from swinging when a user uses the tabletop-equipped fixture 10, thereby improving the usability of the tabletop-equipped fixture 10.

[0048] Furthermore, because each of the pair of brace members 41 is positioned inward in the first direction D1 as it moves upward, the rigidity of the tabletop-equipped fixture 10 in the first direction D1 can be suitably increased. Therefore, even if a force in the first direction D1 is applied to the tabletop portion 20, the tabletop portion 20 can be prevented from swinging in the first direction D1. As a result, when a user uses the tabletop-equipped fixture 10, the tabletop portion 20 can be prevented from swinging in the first direction D1, thereby improving the usability of the tabletop-equipped fixture 10.

[0049] Furthermore, in this embodiment, as described above, the pair of brace members 41 are positioned inward in the first direction D1 as they move upward, and connect the top plate portion 20 to different connection members 35, so that each brace member 41 can increase the rigidity of each connection member 35 in the first direction D1. This makes it possible to prevent each connection member 35 from bending in the first direction D1 even if a force in the first direction D1 is applied to each connection member 35. Therefore, even if a force in the first direction D1 is applied to each connection member 35, it is possible to more suitably prevent the top plate portion 20 from swinging in the first direction D1.

[0050] According to this embodiment, the tabletop-equipped furniture 10 includes a connecting portion 50 that extends in the first direction D1 and connects the pair of connecting members 35 together, and the connecting portion 50 is fixed to a portion on one side (+D2 side) of the brace member 41 of each of the pair of connecting members 35 in the second direction D2 and a portion on the other side (-D2 side) of the brace member 41 of each of the pair of connecting members in the second direction D2. Thus, the connecting portion 50 extending in the first direction D1 is fixed to each of the connecting members 35 at multiple points, so that the rigidity of the tabletop-equipped furniture 10 in the first direction D1 can be further increased. Therefore, even if a force in the first direction D1 is applied to the tabletop portion 20, the tabletop portion 20 can be more suitably prevented from swinging in the first direction D1.

[0051] According to this embodiment, the connecting portion 50 connects the center portions of the pair of connecting members 35 in the second direction D2. Therefore, compared to a case where the connecting portion 50 connects the outer portions of the pair of connecting members 35 in the second direction D2, it is easier to prevent the lower limbs of the user of the tabletop-equipped fixture 10 from interfering with the connecting portion 50. Therefore, among the spaces below the tabletop portion 20, the front space (+D2 side) and the rear space (-D2 side) can be used as spaces capable of accommodating the lower limbs of the user. Therefore, the usability of the tabletop-equipped fixture 10 when the user works on the tabletop-equipped fixture 10 can be improved.

[0052] Furthermore, according to this embodiment, when a user uses the tabletop-equipped fixture 10, the user can use the connecting portion 50 as a footrest. Therefore, the usability of the tabletop-equipped fixture 10 can be more suitably improved when the user works on the tabletop-equipped fixture 10.

[0053] According to this embodiment, each of the pair of brace members 41 is fixed to a surface of the connecting member 35 facing inward in the first direction D1. This allows each of the pair of brace members 41 to support the connecting member 35 from the inside in the first direction D1. Therefore, compared to a case in which each of the pair of brace members 41 is fixed to, for example, the upper surface of the connecting member 35, when a force facing inward in the first direction D1 is applied to each connecting member 35, it is possible to more suitably suppress each connecting member 35 from bending inward in the first direction D1. Therefore, even if a force facing inward in the first direction D1 is applied to each connecting member 35, it is possible to more suitably suppress the top plate portion 20 from swinging in the first direction D1.

[0054] Furthermore, in this embodiment, because each of the pair of brace members 41 is fixed to a surface of the connecting member 35 facing inward in the first direction D1, it is possible to prevent the first brace fixing portion 42b and the second brace fixing portion 43b from being visible when the tabletop-equipped fixture 10 is viewed from the outside in the first direction D1. This makes it possible to prevent the aesthetic appeal of the tabletop-equipped fixture 10 from being impaired.

[0055] According to this embodiment, the tabletop portion 20 has a plate-shaped tabletop 21 that extends in a direction perpendicular to the up-down direction, and a reinforcing member 22 attached to the tabletop underside 21a, which is the underside of the tabletop 21, the reinforcing member 22 being made of metal, and each of the pair of brace members 41 being fixed to the reinforcing member 22. Thus, since each brace member 41 is fixed to the metallic reinforcing member 22, it is easier to more suitably increase the rigidity of the tabletop-equipped furniture 10. Therefore, even if a force is applied to the tabletop portion 20, the tabletop portion 20 can be more suitably prevented from rocking.

[0056] Furthermore, in this embodiment, since the reinforcing member 22 is attached to the underside 21a of the tabletop 21, the strength of the tabletop portion 20 in the vertical direction can be increased. This makes it possible to prevent the tabletop portion 20 from bending in the vertical direction when a user works on the tabletop-equipped furniture 10. This makes it possible to more suitably improve the usability of the tabletop-equipped furniture 10 when the user is working.

[0057] According to this embodiment, the connecting portion 50 has a first connecting member 51 fixed to a portion of each of the pair of connecting members 35 in front of the brace members 41, i.e., on one side (+D2 side) in the second direction D2, and a second connecting member 52 fixed to a portion of each of the pair of connecting members 35 in rear of the brace members 41, i.e., on the other side (-D2 side) in the second direction D2. Therefore, in the manufacturing process of the tabletop-equipped fixture 10, when the connecting portion 50 is fixed to each connecting member 35 to which the pair of brace members 41 is fixed in advance, the first connecting member 51 can be fixed to each connecting member 35 from the front side of each brace member 41, and the second connecting member 52 can be fixed to each connecting member 35 from the rear side of each brace member 41. As a result, compared to when the connecting portion 50 is composed of a single member, interference between the connecting portion 50 and each brace member 41 can be suppressed when the connecting portion 50 is fixed to each connecting member 35. Therefore, the work of fixing the connecting portions 50 to the respective connection members 35 can be simplified, and the manufacturing process for the tabletop-equipped fixture 10 can be prevented from increasing.
