Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present disclosure relates to a desk. [Background technology]
[0002] There is known a desk that has a tabletop and is configured so that auxiliary parts can be attached to the front or side (right or left) of the tabletop. Examples of auxiliary parts include a drink holder and a hook for hanging luggage (Patent Document 1).
[0003] By attaching auxiliary parts to such a desk, the user can be provided with a place to place drink containers and the like, or a place to hang a handbag. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]
[0004] [Patent Document 1] Utility Model Registration No. 3069397 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0005] However, in the above-mentioned desk, if the auxiliary parts are attached to the front edge of the tabletop, there is a possibility that the user may come into contact with the auxiliary parts when sitting down or leaving the desk. Also, if the auxiliary parts are attached to the side edge of the tabletop, there is a possibility that passersby walking beside the desk may come into contact with the auxiliary parts.
[0006] One aspect of the present disclosure is to provide a desk to which an auxiliary part can be attached, which can prevent a person from coming into contact with the auxiliary part at the front and side edges of the table top. [Means for solving the problem]
[0007] One aspect of the present disclosure is a desk comprising a top panel, legs, and a back panel. The tabletop has a front end and a rear end. The front end is the end of the tabletop facing the user. The rear end is the end of the tabletop opposite the front end. The legs are configured to support the tabletop with a space provided below the tabletop. The back panel is formed in a plate shape. The back panel is positioned below the rear end of the tabletop so as to cover at least a portion of the space.
[0008] The back panel has a first region. The first region is rectangular. The first region is provided in at least a part of the back panel when viewed in a direction perpendicular to the panel surface of the back panel. The first area includes a plurality of quadrangular second areas.
[0009] The second regions are provided in the first region in a predetermined arrangement in which the second regions abut each other, and the predetermined arrangement corresponds to an arrangement in which at least two second regions are arranged side by side along each of the vertical and horizontal directions of the first region.
[0010] The second region has a through-hole and a support portion. The through-hole is configured to penetrate the back panel in the thickness direction. The support portion forms a part of the back panel and is configured to support the second region.
[0011] Furthermore, when viewed from a direction perpendicular to the panel surface of the back panel, the second region is formed so that the penetration portion occupies a larger proportion of the second region than the support portion. Note that "occupying proportion" here refers to area proportion. In other words, the area proportion occupied by the penetration portion is larger than the area proportion occupied by the support portion.
[0012] In this type of desk, the auxiliary component can be attached to the top panel by inserting a part of the auxiliary component through the through-hole and abutting the support portion in the second region of the top panel, so the auxiliary component can be placed at the back end of the desk. Thus, this desk allows the auxiliary component to be attached and also prevents contact between the auxiliary component and people at the front and side ends of the table top.
[0013] In addition, since the proportion of the through-hole in the second region of this desk is larger than the proportion of the support part, the size of the parts that can be inserted through the through-hole becomes larger, and the degree of freedom in the size of the auxiliary parts that can be attached to the back panel increases.
[0014] Furthermore, since this desk is provided with a plurality of second areas, the attachment position of the auxiliary part on the back panel can be changed by arbitrarily selecting a second area to attach the auxiliary part from the plurality of second areas.
[0015] In one aspect of the present disclosure, the header board may be configured such that the first region occupies more than 45% of the header board when viewed perpendicularly to the board surface of the header board, thereby ensuring a large area on the header board where auxiliary components can be attached and improving the degree of freedom in the attachment position of the auxiliary components.
[0016] Note that the "occupying ratio" here refers to the area ratio. In other words, the back panel may be configured so that the area ratio of the first region to the total area of the back panel is greater than 45%. Furthermore, the area ratio of the first region in the back panel is not limited to a configuration of greater than 45%, but may be 50% or more. Alternatively, the area ratio of the first region in the back panel may be 60% or more, 70% or more, 80% or more, or 90% or more.
[0017] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the plurality of second regions may be provided in the first region in an array of at least three second regions arranged side by side along at least one of the vertical and horizontal directions of the first region. This allows the first region to have more second regions than a desk having four second regions, thereby improving the flexibility of the attachment position of auxiliary components on the back panel.
[0018] In one aspect of the present disclosure, the header may include an outer periphery region and an inner region. The outer periphery region may be a region of the board that corresponds to the outer periphery. The inner region may be a region of the board that is provided more inward than the outer periphery region. The first region may be provided in at least a portion of the inner region. This allows the header to have an attachment region for auxiliary components in the inner region while increasing the strength of the entire header by the outer periphery region.
[0019] In one aspect of the present disclosure, an auxiliary component may be provided. The auxiliary component may be configured to be attachable to the second region of the header. The auxiliary component may include a first engagement portion. The first engagement portion may be configured to be inserted into the through-hole and engage with the support portion. Such an auxiliary component can be attached to the header by engaging the first engagement portion with the support portion provided on the header.
[0020] In one aspect of the present disclosure, the auxiliary component may include a second engagement portion. The second engagement portion may be configured to be inserted into the through-portion and to engage with the support portion. The second engagement portion may be provided separately from the first engagement portion. The first engagement portion and the second engagement portion may be configured to engage with different support portions.
[0021] The first and second engaging portions may be configured to abut against different support portions and be sandwiched between the different support portions, for example. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

The left tabletop support portion 31a3 and the right tabletop support portion 31b3 are fixed to the tabletop 2 with screws (not shown).
[0029] The back panel 5 is formed in a plate shape. The back panel 5 is roughly rectangular and is arranged so as to extend in the vertical and horizontal directions. The back panel 5 is supported by the top panel 2 and the legs 3 via a support 6 near the back end of the top panel 2. The back panel 5 is arranged below the back end of the top panel 2 so as to cover at least a portion of the space below the top panel 2. Details of the back panel 5 will be described later.
[0030] The support portion 6 includes two upper support portions 6a and two lower support portions 6b. The upper support portion 6a is configured to be fixed to the top panel 2. The upper support portion 6a is configured to be connected to the back panel 5. The lower support portion 6b is configured to be fixed to the legs 3.

The other of the two lower support portions 6b is fixed to the right leg 31b.
[0031] [1-2. Curtain board] The back panel 5 will be described with reference to Figures 5 and 6. The back panel 5 is made of a metal material, a resin material, or the like. The back panel 5 is made of a material strong enough to support auxiliary components, which will be described later.
[0032] The panel 5 includes an outer frame 5a and an inner frame 5b. The outer frame 5a is formed in a rectangular frame shape with a space inside. The outer frame 5a has four rounded curved corners.
[0033] The inner frame 5b is provided in the inner space (in other words, the internal region) of the outer frame 5a. The inner frame 5b includes a plurality of vertical bars 5b1 and a plurality of horizontal bars 5b2. The vertical bars 5b1 are linear members arranged to extend vertically. The horizontal bars 5b2 are linear members arranged to extend horizontally. The inner frame 5b is formed by arranging a plurality of vertical bars 5b1 and a plurality of horizontal bars 5b2 in a lattice pattern. As shown in FIG. 5, the inner frame 5b of the back panel 5 includes 20 vertical bars 5b1 and 8 horizontal bars 5b2.
[0034] The outer frame 5a is thicker than the inner frame 5b and has high strength. The outer frame 5a increases the overall strength of the back panel 5. This maintains the back panel 5 in a plate-like shape. The inner frame 5b can have an attachment area for auxiliary parts, which will be described later.
[0035] When viewed from a direction perpendicular to the panel surface of the back panel 5, the back panel 5 has a rectangular first region RE1 in at least a part of the back panel 5. In FIG. 5, the first region RE1 corresponds to the rectangular region defined by a first horizontal side A1 and a first vertical side B1. The back panel 5 is configured so that the proportion of the back panel 5 occupied by the first region RE1 (in other words, the occupied area proportion) is 66%. The first region RE1 may have a curved shape with rounded corners.
[0036] The first region RE1 includes a plurality of rectangular second regions RE2. In FIGS. 5 and 6, one of the plurality of second regions RE2 corresponds to the rectangular region defined by the second horizontal side A2 and the second vertical side B2. The plurality of second regions RE2 are arranged so that the second regions RE2 abut one another. The plurality of second regions RE2 are arranged in the first region RE1 in such a manner that at least two second regions RE2 are arranged side by side along both the vertical and horizontal directions. The plurality of second regions RE2 are provided in the first region RE1 in this arrangement.
[0037] 6, the second region RE2 has a through-hole 5c and a support portion 5d. The through-hole 5c is configured to penetrate the header board 5 in the thickness direction. The support portion 5d forms a part of the header board 5 and is configured to support the second region RE2.
[0038] 6, for four of the second regions RE2 among the multiple second regions RE2 arranged in the first region RE1, the penetrating portions 5c are shown in a solid color (white) and the supporting portions 5d are shown in a hatched pattern so that the penetrating portions 5c and the supporting portions 5d can be easily distinguished from each other. The four second regions RE2 here are the four second regions RE2 arranged in a quadrilateral region defined by the third horizontal side A3 and the third vertical side B3.
[0039] The header panel 5 shown in FIG. 5 has a first region RE1 in which seven second regions RE2 are arranged in the vertical direction and nineteen second regions RE2 are arranged in the horizontal direction. Furthermore, in the second region RE2, when viewed from a direction perpendicular to the panel surface of the back panel 5, the ratio (RTa:RTb) of the first ratio RTa occupied by the through-holes 5c to the second ratio RTb occupied by the support portions 5d is approximately 15:11. In other words, the second region RE2 is formed so that the first ratio RTa is larger than the second ratio RTb. Note that the "ratio" here refers to the area ratio. In other words, in the second region RE2, the area ratio occupied by the through-holes 5c is larger than the area ratio occupied by the support portions 5d.
[0040] Furthermore, the header board 5 is configured so that the proportion of the first region RE1 in the header board 5 exceeds 45% when viewed from a direction perpendicular to the board surface of the header board 5. Note that the "proportion" here refers to the area proportion. In other words, the header board 5 is configured so that the area proportion of the first region RE1 in the entire area of the header board 5 exceeds 45%.
[0041] [1-3. Auxiliary parts] The desk 1 includes an auxiliary component. The auxiliary component is configured to be attachable to the back panel 5. More specifically, the auxiliary component is configured to be attachable to the second region RE2 of the back panel 5.
[0042] The auxiliary parts include a cup holder 71 and a luggage hook 73 as shown in FIG. 7, and a shelf part 75 as shown in FIG. Cup holder 71 is configured to be able to place a beverage container thereon. Beverage containers include plastic bottles, paper cups, tumblers, etc. Cup holder 71 has a first engagement portion 71a and a second engagement portion 71b. First engagement portion 71a is configured to be inserted into through-hole 5c of header 5 and to engage with support portion 5d. Second engagement portion 71b is configured to be inserted into through-hole 5c of header 5 and to engage with support portion 5d. Second engagement portion 71b is provided in cup holder 71 separately from first engagement portion 71a.
[0043] The luggage hook 73 is configured to be able to hang luggage. The luggage that the luggage hook 73 can hang includes luggage with handles such as handbags and shopping bags, as well as hats and portable electronic devices. The luggage hook 73 has a first engagement portion 73a and a second engagement portion 73b. The first engagement portion 73a has the same configuration as the first engagement portion 71a described above. The second engagement portion 73b has the same configuration as the second engagement portion 71b described above. The second engagement portion 73b is provided on the luggage hook 73 separately from the first engagement portion 73a.
[0044] The shelf component 75 is a long member with an elongated, generally U-shaped cross section. The shelf component 75 is configured so that an object can be placed inside it. The shelf component 75 includes a first engagement portion 75a and a second engagement portion 75b. The first engagement portion 75a has the same configuration as the first engagement portion 71a described above. The second engagement portion 75b has the same configuration as the second engagement portion 71b described above. The second engagement portion 75b is provided in the shelf component 75 separately from the first engagement portion 75a.
[0045] The auxiliary parts can be attached to the panel 5 as shown in Figure 9. Figure 9 shows a state in which cup holder 71 and luggage hook 73 are attached to the panel 5 on the front side of the drawing, and shelf part 75 is attached to the panel 5 on the back side of the drawing.
[0046] Cup holder 71 is attached to the top board 5 by sandwiching first engagement portion 71a and second engagement portion 71b between two support portions 5d. Similarly, cargo hook 73 and shelf component 75 are attached to the top board 5 by sandwiching first engagement portions 73a, 75a and second engagement portions 73b, 75b between two support portions 5d.
[0047] For example, in the desk 1 shown in Fig. 2, by attaching a cup holder 71 and a luggage hook 73 to the rear side of the back panel 5, it becomes possible to place beverage containers or hang luggage at the rear side of the desk 1. In the desk 1 shown in Fig. 2, by attaching a shelf component 75 to the front side of the back panel 5, it becomes possible to provide an area for placing items on shelf component 75 in the space below the top panel 2.
[0048] The auxiliary components are provided with first engagement portions 71a, 73a, 75a and second engagement portions 71b, 73b, 75b, and are configured to be detachable from the header board 5. The header board 5 also has a plurality of second regions RE2. Therefore, the header board 5 and the auxiliary components are configured so that the attachment position of the auxiliary components on the header board 5 can be changed.
[0049] The auxiliary components are provided with first engagement portions 71a, 73a, 75a and second engagement portions 71b, 73b, 75b, and are configured to be detachable from the header board 5. The header board 5 also has a plurality of second regions RE2. Therefore, the header board 5 and the auxiliary components are configured so that the attachment position of the auxiliary components on the header board 5 can be changed.
[0050] [1-4.Effects] According to the embodiment described above in detail, the following effects can be obtained. (1a) In the above-described desk 1, an auxiliary component such as a cup holder 71 can be attached to the back panel 5 in the second region RE2 of the back panel 5. For example, the cup holder 71 can be attached to the back panel 5 by inserting the first engagement portion 71a and the second engagement portion 71b into the through-hole 5c and abutting the support portion 5d.
[0051] Therefore, the desk 1 allows auxiliary parts to be attached to the back end of the desk 1, and also prevents people from coming into contact with the auxiliary parts at the front end and side ends of the table top 2. (1b) In the desk 1, in the second region RE2, the first proportion RTa occupied by the through-hole 5c is formed larger than the second proportion RTb occupied by the support portion 5d, so that the size of the parts that can be inserted into the through-hole 5c becomes larger, and the degree of freedom in the size of the auxiliary parts that can be attached to the back panel 5 increases.
[0052] (1c) Since the desk 1 has a plurality of second regions RE2, the attachment position of the auxiliary component on the back panel 5 can be changed by arbitrarily selecting the second region RE2 to which the auxiliary component is to be attached from the plurality of second regions RE2.
[0053] (1d) The desk 1 is configured so that the first region RE1 occupies more than 45% of the back panel 5, thereby ensuring a large area on the back panel 5 where auxiliary parts can be attached, and improving the freedom of attachment position of the auxiliary parts.
[0054] (1e) The outer frame 5a of the top panel 5 increases the overall strength of the top panel 5, while the inner frame 5b provides an attachment area for auxiliary parts within the interior area of the outer frame 5a. (1f) The cup holder 71, the luggage hook 73, and the shelf component 75 are configured to be attachable to the fascia board 5 by having first engaging portions 71a, 73a, 75a and second engaging portions 71b, 73b, 75b, respectively.
[0055] [1-5. Terminology] In this embodiment, the area of the outer frame 5a of the header board 5 corresponds to an example of the outer periphery area in the present disclosure, and the area of the inner frame 5b corresponds to an example of the inner area in the present disclosure.
[0056] 2. Other Embodiments Although the embodiments of the present disclosure have been described above, it goes without saying that the present disclosure is not limited to the above-described embodiments and can take on various forms.
[0057] (2a) In the above embodiment, the auxiliary component is described as having a first engaging portion and a second engaging portion, but the auxiliary component is not limited to this configuration. For example, as shown in FIG. 10, the auxiliary component may include a second cargo hook 74. The second cargo hook 74 is configured by replacing the first engaging portion 73a and the second engaging portion 73b of the cargo hook 73 with an extended engaging portion 74a.
[0058] The extended engagement portion 74a extends from the back surface of the main body of the second cargo hook 74. The extended engagement portion 74a includes a first extended portion 74a1 and a second extended portion 74a2. The first extended portion 74a1 extends from the back surface of the main body of the second cargo hook 74 in a direction perpendicular to the back surface. The second extended portion 74a2 extends diagonally downward from an end of the first extended portion 74a1.
[0059] The second cargo hook 74 is attached to the panel 5 by inserting the extended engaging portion 74a into the through portion 5c of the panel 5 and engaging with the support portion 5d. (2b) In the above embodiment, the header panel 5 is described as having seven second regions RE2 arranged in the vertical direction and nineteen second regions RE2 arranged in the horizontal direction, but the header panel is not limited to this configuration. For example, as shown in Fig. 11, the header panel 51 may have three second regions RE2 arranged in the vertical direction and nine second regions RE2 arranged in the horizontal direction.
[0060] In the second header 51, one of the plurality of second regions RE2 corresponds to a rectangular region defined by a second horizontal side A2 and a second vertical side B2 in Fig. 11. In the second header 51, the first region RE1 corresponds to a rectangular region defined by a first horizontal side A1 and a first vertical side B1 in Fig. 11. The second header 51 is configured so that the proportion of the first region RE1 in the second header 51 is 46%. Furthermore, in the second header 51, when viewed in a direction perpendicular to the panel surface of the second header 51, the ratio (RTa:RTb) of a first proportion RTa occupied by the penetration portion to a second proportion RTb occupied by the support portion in the second region RE2 is approximately 35:11.
[0061] The second panel 51 includes a second outer frame 51a and a second inner frame 51b. The second inner frame 51b includes ten vertical bars 51b1 and four horizontal bars 51b2. (2c) In the above embodiment, the header 5 has been described as having an inner frame 5b including multiple vertical bars 5b1 and multiple horizontal bars 5b2, but the header is not limited to this configuration. For example, as shown in Figures 12 and 13, the header 5 may be a third header 52 having an inner frame disposed at an angle to the outer frame.
[0062] The third panel 52 includes a third outer frame 52a and a third inner frame 52b. The third inner frame 52b includes fifteen first diagonal bars 52b1 and fifteen second diagonal bars 52b2. In the third curtain panel 52, one of the plurality of second regions RE2 corresponds to a rectangular region defined by a second horizontal side A2 and a second vertical side B2 in Figures 12 and 13. In the third curtain panel 52, the first region RE1 corresponds to a rectangular region defined by a first horizontal side A1 and a first vertical side B1 in Figure 12. The third curtain panel 52 is configured so that the proportion of the first region RE1 in the third curtain panel 52 is 68%.
[0063] As shown in Fig. 12, the third curtain panel 52 has four second regions RE2 arranged vertically and ten second regions RE2 arranged horizontally. As shown in Fig. 13, in the third curtain panel 52, one second region RE2 includes four through-holes 52c and one support portion 52d. The support portion 52d is X-shaped. The four through-holes 52c are separated by the support portion 52d. In the third curtain panel 52, when viewed in a direction perpendicular to the panel surface of the third curtain panel 52, the ratio (RTa:RTb) of a first proportion RTa occupied by the through-holes 52c to a second proportion RTb occupied by the support portions 52d in the second region RE2 is approximately 2:1.
[0064] (2d) Regarding the third panel 52, in the above description, one second region RE2 is defined as having four through-holes 52c and one support portion 52d, but the second region is not limited to this definition. For example, as shown in FIG. 14, the second region may be defined as a second region RE2a having five through-holes 52ca and one support portion 52da. In this case, the support portion 52da is generally rhombic. The five through-holes 52ca include one inner through-hole 52ca1 provided inside the support portion 52da and four outer through-holes 52ca2 provided outside the support portion 52da. In this case, in the third panel 52, when viewed in a direction perpendicular to the panel surface of the third panel 52, the ratio (RTa:RTb) of the first proportion RTa occupied by the five through portions 52ca to the second proportion RTb occupied by one support portion 52da in the second region RE2a is approximately 2:1.
[0065] In this case, the third curtain board 52 can be recognized as having a configuration in which three second regions RE2a are arranged vertically and ten second regions RE2a are arranged horizontally (hereinafter also referred to as a 3-row, 10-column configuration), as shown in Fig. 15. Alternatively, the third curtain board 52 can be recognized as having a configuration in which four second regions RE2a are arranged vertically and nine second regions RE2a are arranged horizontally (hereinafter also referred to as a 4-row, 9-column configuration), as shown in Fig. 16. The area occupied by the second regions RE2a arranged in a 3-row, 10-column configuration or a 4-row, 9-column configuration is smaller than the area occupied by the first region RE1. In other words, when the third curtain board 52 is recognized as having a 3-row, 10-column configuration or a 4-row, 9-column configuration, the size of the area occupied by all of the second regions RE2a is smaller than the area occupied by the first region RE1. When the third curtain board 52 is recognized as having a 3-row, 10-column configuration, there are blank areas that are not the second regions RE2a in the areas above and below the area occupied by all of the second regions RE2a in the first region RE1 shown in Fig. 15. When the third curtain board 52 is recognized as having a 4-row, 9-column configuration, there are blank areas that are not the second regions RE2a in the areas to the right and left of the area occupied by all of the second regions RE2a in the first region RE1 shown in Fig. 16.
[0066] When the second region RE2 is defined as shown in FIG. 13, the size of the region occupied by the second region RE2a arranged in 4 rows and 10 columns is equal to the size of the region occupied by the first region RE1.
[0067] Regardless of whether the definition of the second region RE2 is as shown in FIG. 13 or FIG. 14, the third curtain board 52 is configured so that the first region RE1 includes a plurality of rectangular second regions RE2. (2e) In the above other embodiments, the header 5 and the second header 51 were described as headers in a configuration in which the inner frame is arranged in a rectangular shape relative to the outer frame. However, a fourth header 53 as shown in FIG. 17 may also be used. The fourth header 53 differs from the header 5 or the second header 51 in that the second region RE2 is rectangular rather than square. The fourth header 53 includes a fourth outer frame 53a and a fourth inner frame 53b. The fourth inner frame 53b is provided in the inner space of the fourth outer frame 53a (in other words, the internal region). The fourth inner frame 53b includes 21 vertical bars 53b1 and four horizontal bars 53b2. The fourth header 53 is configured so that the first region RE1 occupies 51% of the fourth header 53. In the fourth panel 53, when viewed from a direction perpendicular to the panel surface of the fourth panel 53, the ratio (RTa:RTb) of the first proportion RTa occupied by the through portion to the second proportion RTb occupied by the support portion in the second region RE2 is approximately 2:1.
[0068] (2f) In the above-described other embodiment, the third curtain panel 52 was described as an example of a curtain panel in which the inner frame is disposed at an angle relative to the outer frame. However, a fifth curtain panel 54, as shown in FIG. 18, may also be used. The fifth curtain panel 54 differs from the third curtain panel 52 in that the second region RE2 is rectangular rather than square. The fifth curtain panel 54 includes a fifth outer frame 54a and a fifth inner frame 54b. The fifth inner frame 54b includes 25 first diagonal bars 54b1 and 25 second diagonal bars 54b2. The fifth curtain panel 54 is configured so that the first region RE1 accounts for 66% of the fifth curtain panel 54. In the fifth curtain panel 54, when viewed in a direction perpendicular to the panel surface of the fifth curtain panel 54, the ratio (RTa:RTb) of the first proportion RTa of the penetration portions to the second proportion RTb of the support portions in the second region RE2 is approximately 10:9.
[0069] (2g) The thickness of the panel is not limited to the same dimensions as in the above-described embodiments, and may be greater. For example, as in the sixth panel 55 shown in Fig. 19, the thickness of each of the outer frame and inner frame may be greater than that of the above-described embodiments.
[0070] (2h) The thickness dimensions of the outer and inner frames of the header board are not limited to the same dimensions as those in the above-described embodiments, and may be different from those in the above-described embodiments. For example, as in the seventh header board 56 shown in Figure 20, the thickness dimension of the inner frame may be smaller than that of the inner frame 5b of the header board 5.
[0071] (2i) The back panel may be an eighth back panel 57 having louvers 57b in the inner space (in other words, the internal area) of the outer frame 57a, as shown in FIG. 21. The louvers 57b are configured with multiple plates 57b1 arranged parallel to one another. An auxiliary part having a single engagement portion can be attached to the eighth back panel 57. For example, the second cargo hook 74 can be attached to the eighth back panel 57 by hooking the extended engagement portion 74a onto the plate 57b1 of the louvers 57b. When the eighth back panel 57 is used in place of the back panel 5 on the desk 1, the front side in FIG. 21 may be positioned so that it faces the front side of the desk 1, or so that it faces the back side of the desk 1.
[0072] (2j) In the above embodiment, the cup holder 71, the luggage hook 73, the second luggage hook 74, and the shelf component 75 are described as auxiliary components, but the auxiliary components are not limited to these. Any component may be used as an auxiliary component as long as it improves user convenience when attached to the desk back panel.
[0073] (2k) In the desk 1 of the above embodiment, the table top 2 may be configured to rotate around the connecting portion 31c of the leg 3 as a rotation axis. The table top 2 may be configured to be movable to a use position or a storage position by rotating. For example, the desk 1 in Figs. 1 to 4 shows a state in which the table top 2 is fixed in the use position, and the desk 1 in Fig. 22 shows a state in which the table top 2 is fixed in the storage position.
[0074] The left tabletop support part 31a3 may be configured to fix the tabletop 2 in the use position or the storage position. The left tabletop support part 31a3 may include a lever 81. The left tabletop support part 31a3 may be configured to fix the tabletop 2 in an unrotatable state when the lever 81 is not operated, and to support the tabletop 2 in a rotatable state when the lever 81 is operated.
[0075] When the tabletop 2 is in the storage position, the horizontal area occupied by the desk 1 can be reduced compared to when the tabletop 2 is in the use position. This allows the number of desks 1 that can be stored in the same area to be increased.
[0076] In addition, Figure 22 shows a state in which a cup holder 71 and a luggage hook 73 are attached to the rear surface of the panel 5, and a shelf component 75 is attached to the front surface of the panel 5.
[0077] (2l) In the above embodiment, the rods (e.g., vertical rods 5b1, horizontal rods 5b2) that make up the inner frame 5b of the header panel have cross-sectional shapes perpendicular to the extension direction that are symmetrical about an imaginary axis parallel to the panel surface of the header panel, but this is not limited to such a configuration. While the vertical rods 5b1 and horizontal rods 5b2 in the above embodiment both have circular cross-sectional shapes, they may also have polygonal cross-sectional shapes that are not symmetrical.
[0078] (2m) The function of one component in the above embodiments may be distributed among multiple components, or the functions of multiple components may be integrated into one component. Also, part of the configuration of the above embodiments may be omitted. Furthermore, at least part of the configuration of the above embodiments may be added to or substituted for the configuration of another of the above embodiments.
