Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a fixture with a top. [Background technology]

[0002] Furniture with a top that has a work surface for performing office work is used in conference rooms and work spaces in offices, public facilities, schools, homes, etc. When performing office work using electronic devices on the top, a power supply to the electronic devices is required, and furniture has been proposed that has an opening in the top to allow the power cord extending from the electronic device on the top to pass through to a power outlet provided on the underside of the top (for example, Patent Document 1). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2023-25418 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] However, such tabletop-equipped furniture often uses power supplied from power outlets installed on the walls or floors that form the office space, which poses a problem in that installation locations are limited by the location of the power outlets.

[0005] In light of the above circumstances, the present invention aims to provide a fixture with a top that minimizes limitations on installation locations. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] 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 top plate comprising a top plate, a support structure that is in contact with the floor surface and supports the top plate, a portable power storage device, and a storage section that has a mounting section on which the portable power storage device can be placed, is provided below the top plate, and is connected to the underside of the top plate or the support structure, and the support structure has at least a pair of legs that extend from the top plate to the floor surface and are spaced apart from each other in the left-right direction, and the storage section is spaced above the floor surface and is provided between the pair of legs in the left-right direction.

[0007] According to the first aspect of the furniture with a top, power is supplied from the portable power storage device to electronic devices used on the top, etc., thereby preventing limitations on installation locations. Furthermore, the storage unit in which the portable power storage device can be placed is provided below the top and spaced above the floor. Therefore, by placing the user's lower legs between the storage unit and the floor, interference between the user's lower legs and the storage unit can be prevented, and sufficient space for the user's lower legs can be secured. Therefore, the furniture with a top according to the first aspect can store the portable power storage device and secure sufficient space for the user's lower legs. Furthermore, since the storage section on which the portable power storage device is placed is provided between a pair of legs in the left-right direction, it is possible to prevent people such as users or passersby walking near the fixture with a top, or other fixtures such as chairs, from coming into contact with the storage section, thereby preventing the portable power storage device placed in the storage section from falling over or damage to the internal equipment of the portable power storage device due to people or other fixtures coming into contact with the storage section.

[0008] The second aspect of the present invention is a fixture with a top plate in which, in the fixture with a top plate of the first aspect, a lower leg space is formed below the top plate and on both sides of the storage section in the front-to-back direction, in which the user's lower legs can be positioned.

[0009] According to the second aspect of the display fixture with a top, a lower leg space is formed on both sides of the storage section in the front-to-back direction, where the user's lower legs can be positioned, so that it can be used by multiple users from both sides in the front-to-back direction, and users can operate the portable energy storage device from either the front or rear side.

[0010] A third aspect of the present invention is a tabletop-equipped fixture according to the first or second aspect, wherein the storage section is arranged spaced apart from the legs in the left-right direction.

[0011] In the third aspect of the display fixture with a tabletop, the storage section is located between a pair of legs, spaced apart from the legs in the left-right direction. This prevents the load of the storage section on the tabletop or supporting structure from being significantly biased to one side in the left-right direction, compared to when the storage section is located adjacent to the legs, and allows the user to operate the portable energy storage device from either the left or right side.

[0012] A fourth aspect of the present invention is a fixture with a top plate, wherein in the fixture with a top plate according to any one of the first to third aspects, the front-to-back dimension of the top plate is smaller than the left-to-right dimension of the top plate, the storage section has an opening above the placing section that opens in at least one direction in the front-to-back direction and has an area viewed from the front-to-back direction that is larger than the size of the portable power storage device, and the portable power storage device is removable from the storage section through the opening.

[0013] According to the fourth aspect of the fixture with a top, the top has an opening that opens in the front-to-back direction and whose dimensions are smaller than those in the left-to-right direction, and the portable power storage device can be removed from the storage section through the opening, so that the user can easily attach and detach the portable power storage device from the storage section in the front-to-back direction.

[0014] A fifth aspect of the present invention is a fixture with a top plate, wherein in a fixture with a top plate according to any one of the first to fourth aspects, the storage section comprises a fixed section fixed to the underside of the top plate or the support structure, and a pair of connecting sections that connect the fixed section to the storage section provided below the fixed section and are spaced apart from each other in the left-right direction, and the opening is surrounded by the storage section, the fixed section, and the pair of connecting sections.

[0015] According to the fifth aspect of the display unit with a top, since it has a pair of connecting parts that connect the fixed part and the placing part, the storage part has sufficient strength and the portable energy storage device can be placed stably.

[0016] A sixth aspect of the present invention is a fixture with a top plate according to any one of the first to fifth aspects, wherein the legs are extendable in the vertical direction.

[0017] According to the sixth aspect of the display fixture with a top plate, a user can easily attach and detach a portable power storage device to and from a storage section provided below the top plate supported by the legs by extending and retracting the legs in the vertical direction.

[0018] A seventh aspect of the present invention is a fixture with a tabletop that is a fixture with a tabletop of any of the first to sixth aspects, and is equipped with a control device that electrically extends and retracts the legs, and the portable power storage device is capable of supplying power to the control device.

[0019] According to the seventh aspect of the fixture with a top, by supplying power to the control device from a portable power storage device provided in the storage section, it is possible to prevent the power line supplying power to the control device from being positioned outside the fixture with a top. [Effects of the Invention]

[0020] According to the fixture with a top plate of the present invention, it is possible to provide a fixture with a top plate that reduces limitations on installation locations. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0021] [Figure 1] FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a fixture with a top plate according to this embodiment. [Figure 2] FIG. [Figure 3] FIG. [Figure 4] FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view taken along line IV-IV in FIG. [Figure 5] FIG. 10 is a perspective view showing a modified example of the same fixture with a top plate. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0022] An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0023] 1 and 2 are perspective views showing a tabletop-equipped fixture 1 according to this embodiment. FIG. 3 is a front view showing the tabletop-equipped fixture 1.

[0024] The tabletop-equipped furniture 1 is a desk that includes a tabletop 10 and a support structure 20 that supports the tabletop 10 with legs 30 that contact the floor, and is used in, for example, a conference room.

[0025] In this embodiment, as shown in Figures 1, 2, and 3, the vertical direction in the tabletop-equipped fixture 1 is defined as the "vertical direction Z," the vertically upward direction is defined as the "upward Z1" in the vertical direction Z, and the vertically downward direction is defined as the "downward Z2" in the vertical direction Z. Furthermore, of the horizontal directions perpendicular to the vertical direction Z, the direction in which the pair of legs 30 are spaced apart is defined as the "left-right direction X," with one in the left-right direction X being defined as the "leftward X1" and the other being defined as the "rightward X2" in the left-right direction X. Furthermore, the direction perpendicular to the vertical direction Z and the left-right direction X is defined as the "front-rear direction Y," with one in the front-rear direction Y being defined as the "rearward Y1" and the other being defined as the "forward Y2" in the front-rear direction Y.

[0026] The fixture with a top 1 comprises a top 10, a support structure 20, a storage section 50, a control device 60, an operation section 70, a portable power storage device 80, and a conversion device 90.

[0027] The tabletop 10 is a plate-like member that extends horizontally (left-right direction X and front-back direction Y) and forms the upper surface of the tabletop-equipped furniture unit 1. A user can place, for example, electronic devices, writing implements, etc. used for office work on the top surface of the tabletop 10 and perform the prescribed office work.

[0028] In this embodiment, the dimension of the tabletop 10 in the front-rear direction Y is smaller than the dimension of the tabletop 10 in the left-right direction X.

[0029] The support structure 20 includes legs 30 and connecting supports 40 .

[0030] The leg portion 30 includes a support portion 31, a support lower end portion 32, and a support upper end portion 33. In this embodiment, the support structure 20 has a pair of legs 30 spaced apart from each other in the left-right direction X.

[0031] The support column 31 is a support member extending in the vertical direction Z, and includes a first support column 31a, a second support column 31b, a third support column 31c, and a lifting mechanism 31d.

[0032] In this embodiment, the first support column 31a, the second support column 31b, and the third support column 31c have a rectangular cylindrical shape extending in the vertical direction Z. The first support column 31a, the second support column 31b, and the third support column 31c do not necessarily have to have a rectangular cylindrical shape in the strict sense.

[0033] The first support portion 31a, the second support portion 31b and the third support portion 31c are nested, and in the vertical direction Z, the third support portion 31c is inserted into the internal space of the second support portion 31b, and the second support portion 31b and the third support portion 31c are inserted into the internal space of the first support portion 31a.

[0034] The third support column 31c is provided so as to be movable up and down in the vertical direction Z relative to the first support column 31a and the second support column 31b.

[0035] The second support column 31b is provided so as to be movable up and down in the vertical direction Z relative to the first support column 31a and the third support column 31c.

[0036] The first support column 31a, the second support column 31b, and the third support column 31c move up and down in the vertical direction Z relative to one another, causing the support column 31 to expand and contract in the vertical direction Z.

[0037] The lifting mechanism 31d is provided at the upper end of the third support column 31c, and is connected to a control device 60 (described later) via wiring (not shown). The lifting mechanism 31d has a drive source such as an electric motor for extending and retracting the support column 31, and can electrically extend and retract the support column 31 in the vertical direction Z based on a control signal from the control device 60.

[0038] The pillar lower end portion 32 is a member connected to the lower portion Z2 of the pillar portion 31 and extending in the front-to-rear direction Y. In this embodiment, the pillar lower end portion 32 is connected to the lower end of the first pillar portion 31a. The first pillar portion 31a extends upward Z1 from the center of the pillar lower end portion 32 in the front-to-rear direction Y.

[0039] Grounding portions 30a are provided at both ends of the support column lower end portion 32 in the front-rear direction Y. The grounding portions 30a are connected to the lower portion Z2 of the support column lower end portion 32 and are grounding surfaces that come into contact with the floor surface F.

[0040] The floor surface F refers to the floor surface of a conference room, office, etc. on which the tabletop-equipped furniture 1 is installed. The floor surface F may be, for example, the ground outdoors.

[0041] The pillar upper end portion 33 is a member connected to the upper portion Z1 of the pillar portion 31 and extending in the front-rear direction Y. In this embodiment, the pillar upper end portion 33 is connected to the upper surface of the lifting mechanism 31d. The lifting mechanism 31d is also connected to the center of the pillar upper end portion 33 in the front-rear direction Y.

[0042] The connecting support portion 40 is a connecting member that extends in the left-right direction X and connects the pair of legs 30. In this embodiment, the support structure 20 has a pair of connecting support portions 40 that sandwich the lifting mechanism 31d in the front-rear direction Y.

[0043] The connecting support part 40 is connected to the lifting mechanism 31d and the support column upper end part 33. The connecting support part 40 may be connected to either the lifting mechanism 31d or the support column upper end part 33.

[0044] The underside of the tabletop 10 is connected to the connecting support part 40 and the upper end of the support column upper end part 33. The tabletop 10 is fixed to the connecting support part 40 and the support column upper end part 33 while being placed on the upper surface of the connecting support part 40 and the support column upper end part 33.

[0045] When the leg portion 30 extends and contracts in the vertical direction Z, the lifting mechanism 31d and the support upper end portion 33 connected to the lifting mechanism 31d move up and down in the vertical direction Z relative to the first support portion 31a.

[0046] Here, the first support column portion 31a is placed on the floor surface F via the support column lower end portion 32 and the ground contact portion 30a, and does not move up and down relative to the floor surface F.

[0047] When the leg 30 extends and retracts in the vertical direction Z, the connecting support 40 connected to the lifting mechanism 31d and the upper end 33 of the support rod rises and falls in the vertical direction Z together with the lifting mechanism 31d and the upper end 33 of the support rod.

[0048] Therefore, when the legs 30 extend and contract in the vertical direction Z, the tabletop 10 connected to the connecting support parts 40 and the column upper ends 33 rises and falls in the vertical direction Z relative to the floor surface F.

[0049] The details of the storage section 50 will be described later.

[0050] The control device 60 is a control device that controls the operation of the drive source of the lifting mechanism 31d by sending an electric signal to the drive source, thereby controlling the extension and retraction operation of the pair of legs 30. In this embodiment, the control device 60 is disposed below Z2 the tabletop 10 and between the pair of connecting support parts 40.

[0051] The operation unit 70 is a controller that allows the user to operate the extension and retraction operation of the leg unit 30. The operation unit 70 is connected to the control device 60 by wiring (not shown), and outputs to the control device 60 a command to operate the drive source of the lifting mechanism 31d.

[0052] A user can electrically raise and lower the tabletop 10 by operating the operating unit 70. Here, the operating unit 70 is preferably provided on the underside of the tabletop 10, at the rear Y1 or front Y2 end of the tabletop 10.

[0053] In this embodiment, when using the tabletop-equipped fixture 1, the user is mainly positioned at the rear Y1 or front Y2 of the tabletop-equipped fixture 1. In this case, by fixing the operating unit 70 to the rear Y1 or front Y2 end of the tabletop 10, the operating unit 70 can be positioned near the user, allowing the user to easily operate the operating unit 70.

[0054] Next, the details of the storage section 50 will be described. FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view taken along line IV-IV in FIG.

[0055] The storage section 50 is provided below the tabletop 10, Z2, and between the pair of legs 30 in the left-right direction X. The storage section 50 includes a placing section 51, a fixing section 52, and a connecting section 53.

[0056] The mounting portion 51 is a member disposed at the lower end of the accommodation portion 50. The mounting portion 51 has a shape that allows a portable electricity storage device 80 and a conversion device 90, which will be described later, to be mounted on the upper side Z1.

[0057] 4, the mounting portion 51 has a substantially U-shape with an opening 51h on the upper side Z1 as long as the portable power storage device 80 and the conversion device 90 can be mounted thereon, and is not limited to a substantially U-shape.

[0058] The fixing portion 52 is a member disposed at the upper end of the accommodation portion 50. In this embodiment, the accommodation portion 50 is connected to the top plate 10 by fixing the fixing portion 52 to the underside of the top plate 10.

[0059] The housing 50 may be connected to the support structure 20 , for example to the linking support 40 .

[0060] The connecting portion 53 is a member that connects the fixed portion 52 and the placing portion 51 provided below the fixed portion 52 (Z2). In this embodiment, the storage portion 50 has a pair of connecting portions 53 that are spaced apart from each other in the left-right direction X.

[0061] The storage unit 50 has sufficient strength by connecting the mounting unit 51 and the fixing unit 52 with the pair of connecting units 53, so that the portable electricity storage device 80 can be stably placed on the storage unit 50. If the storage unit 50 can have sufficient strength even without the pair of connecting units 53, the storage unit 50 may be provided with only one connecting unit 53.

[0062] The housing portion 50 may be connected to the top plate 10 or the support structure 20 by fixing the connecting portion 53 to the top plate 10 or the support structure 20 .

[0063] The pair of connecting portions 53 extend in the vertical direction Z, and extend from both ends of the fixing portion 52 in the left-right direction X to both ends of the placing portion 51 in the left-right direction X.

[0064] 3 and 4, an opening 50h that opens in the front-rear direction Y is formed in the storage section 50. In this embodiment, the opening 50h is an opening surrounded by the placement section 51, the fixing section 52, and the pair of connecting sections 53.

[0065] The opening 50h is preferably open to both sides in the front-rear direction Y (rear Y1 and front Y2), but may be open to at least one side in the front-rear direction Y.

[0066] The resting portion 51 is provided at a distance Z1 above the floor surface F. As shown in Fig. 4, a lower leg space R2 is formed between the resting portion 51 and the floor surface F in the vertical direction Z.

[0067] For example, when using the tabletop-equipped furniture 1, a user sits on a chair or the like placed at the rear Y1 or front Y2 of the tabletop-equipped furniture 1 and performs office work using electronic devices, writing implements, etc. placed on the top surface of the tabletop 10.

[0068] At this time, the user's lower legs (for example, the part of the foot below the ankle) can be placed in the lower leg space R2. Therefore, interference between the user's lower legs and the storage section 50 in the space below the tabletop 10 Z2 can be prevented.

[0069] The dimension of the lower leg space R2 in the vertical direction Z is equal to the distance from the placing portion 51 to the floor surface F. For example, by making the distance from the placing portion 51 to the floor surface F in the vertical direction Z 70 mm or more, a sufficiently large lower leg space R2 can be formed, and interference of the user's lower legs with the storage portion 50 can be suitably prevented.

[0070] As shown in FIG. 4, below the tabletop 10 Z2 and on both sides of the accommodation section 50 in the front-rear direction Y, a lower leg space R1 is formed.

[0071] For example, the lower legs of a user sitting on a chair or the like placed behind Y1 or in front Y2 of the tabletop-equipped fixture 1 can be placed in the lower leg space R1. By providing lower leg spaces R1 on both sides of the storage unit 50 in the front-to-back direction Y, even when multiple users use the tabletop-equipped fixture 1 from both sides in the front-to-back direction Y of the tabletop-equipped fixture 1, the users' lower legs can be placed below the tabletop 10 in Z2, preventing the users' lower legs from interfering with the storage unit 50.

[0072] In the space Z2 below the tabletop 10, the storage section 50 is preferably provided in the center of the tabletop 10 in the front-rear direction Y.

[0073] In the front-to-back direction Y, the dimension of the lower leg space R1 is equal to the distance from the end of the table top 10 to the storage section 50. For example, by making the distance in the front-to-back direction Y from the end of the table top 10 to the storage section 50 200 mm or more, a sufficiently large lower leg space R1 can be formed, and interference of the user's lower legs with the storage section 50 can be suitably prevented.

[0074] Furthermore, the storage section 50 is provided at a distance from the legs 30 in the left-right direction X. Therefore, even when a user uses the tabletop-equipped furniture 1 from the left side X1 or the right side X2, the user's lower legs can be prevented from interfering with the storage section 50. The storage section 50 is preferably provided in the center of the tabletop 10 in the left-right direction X.

[0075] Furthermore, by providing the storage section 50 at a position spaced apart from the legs 30 in the left-right direction X (for example, at the center of the tabletop 10), the load of the storage section 50 acting on the tabletop 10 or the support structure 20 can be prevented from being significantly biased to one side in the left-right direction X, compared to when the storage section 50 is provided adjacent to the legs 30.

[0076] The portable power storage device 80 is a portable power storage device that can be charged and discharged. A portable power storage device such as the portable power storage device 80 is also called, for example, a mobile battery. In this embodiment, the number of portable power storage devices 80 provided in the tabletop-equipped furniture 1 is two, but it may also be one, or three or more.

[0077] In this embodiment, the portable power storage device 80 has a shape in which a grip part 82 is provided on the upper Z1 side of a prismatic main body part 81. The portable power storage device 80 is mainly placed on the placement part 51 on the upper Z1 side.

[0078] The grip part 82 has a generally U-shape that opens downward Z2, and both ends of the opening are connected to the upper end of the main body part 81. A user can lift the portable power storage device 80 by gripping the upper part of the grip part 82.

[0079] The shape of the portable power storage device 80 is preferably one that allows the user to lift it with one hand, and is not limited to the above-mentioned shape.

[0080] Portable power storage device 80 has a built-in rechargeable battery (e.g., a lithium battery) inside main body 81. Portable power storage device 80 also has multiple types of USB ports (not shown) connected to the battery on its outer periphery. Portable power storage device 80 can supply power to external devices via these USB ports.

[0081] As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, a conversion device 90 is provided below the portable electricity storage device 80 at a position Z2.

[0082] The conversion device 90 is placed on the upper surface of the mounting portion 51. In this embodiment, the conversion device 90 is accommodated inside the mounting portion 51, which has a substantially U-shaped cross section. When the conversion device 90 is accommodated in the accommodation portion 50, the opening 51h of the mounting portion 51 is positioned at the same position as the upper end of the conversion device 90 in the vertical direction Z, or slightly above the upper end Z1 of the conversion device 90. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 3 , the conversion device 90 is not visible to the user when viewed from the front-rear direction Y.

[0083] The conversion device 90 may be provided so as to be removable from the mounting portion 51, or may be fixed to the mounting portion 51 with fastening members such as screws. When fixing the conversion device 90 to the mounting portion 51, for example, with the conversion device 90 placed on the upper surface of the mounting portion 51, a fastening member is inserted into an opening on the lower surface of the mounting portion 51 from below Z2 of the mounting portion 51, and the conversion device 90 is fixed to the mounting portion 51 with the fastening member.

[0084] The converter 90 is, for example, a DC-AC inverter device. On the top surface of the converter 90, a connection terminal (not shown) is provided that can connect the inverter housed inside the converter 90 to an external device.

[0085] Furthermore, on the left X1 or right X2 surface of the conversion device 90, a plug socket (outlet) (not shown) into which the end plug of the power line can be inserted is provided.

[0086] 1 and 2, an opening 53h penetrating the connecting portion 53 in the left-right direction X is provided at the lower end of the connecting portion 53. The plug socket of the converter 90 is disposed at a position overlapping the opening 53h of the connecting portion 53 when viewed from the left-right direction X, for example.

[0087] Furthermore, a connection terminal (not shown) connected to the storage battery of the portable power storage device 80 is provided on the bottom surface of the main body 81 of the portable power storage device 80.

[0088] In this embodiment, the portable power storage device 80 is placed on the mounting portion 51 via the conversion device 90. When the portable power storage device 80 is placed on the mounting portion 51, the portable power storage device 80 is attached to the upper surface of the conversion device 90 so that the connection terminals on the bottom surface of the portable power storage device 80 and the connection terminals on the upper surface of the conversion device 90 are electrically connected.

[0089] When the portable power storage device 80 is attached to the top surface of the conversion device 90 and the power line of an external device is connected to the plug socket of the conversion device 90, the electricity stored in the storage battery of the portable power storage device 80 can be supplied to the external device as AC power.

[0090] In this embodiment, a power line extending from the control device 60 is connected to the plug socket of the conversion device 90. That is, the control device 60 is supplied with power from the portable power storage device 80 via the conversion device 90.

[0091] By supplying power from the portable power storage device 80 to the control device 60, it is possible to prevent the power line supplying power to the control device 60 from being positioned outside the top-mounted fixture 1, compared to when power is supplied to the control device 60 from an outlet installed on a wall, floor F, or the like. This improves the appearance of the top-mounted fixture 1 and enhances its aesthetic appeal. Furthermore, since it is possible to prevent the power line supplying power to the control device 60 from being positioned on the floor F or the like outside the top-mounted fixture 1, the power line does not get in the way when cleaning the floor F, making it easier to clean the floor F. Furthermore, since the storage unit 50 on which the portable power storage device 80 is placed is spaced above Z1 from the floor F, the floor F below Z2 of the storage unit 50 can also be cleaned when cleaning the floor F, making it easier to clean the floor F.

[0092] When power is supplied directly to devices such as the control device 60 from the portable power storage device 80, the tabletop-equipped fixture 1 does not need to be equipped with the converter 90. In this case, for example, a power line is connected to a USB port provided on the outer periphery of the portable power storage device 80.

[0093] As shown in FIG. 2, a fixed cover member 41 and a detachable cover member 42 are provided between the pair of connecting support parts 40.

[0094] The tabletop-equipped furniture 1 has two fixed cover members 41, which are respectively provided at both ends of the connecting support part 40 in the left-right direction X. The fixed cover members 41 are fixed to the pair of connecting support parts 40 by, for example, fastening members or the like.

[0095] The removable cover member 42 has a first removable cover member 42a and a second removable cover member 42b.

[0096] The first removable lid member 42a is provided between the pair of connecting parts 53 in the left-right direction X. The first removable lid member 42a is positioned below the fixed part 52 at position Z2. The first removable lid member 42a is detachably attached to the pair of connecting support parts 40, for example.

[0097] The removable cover member 42 has two second removable cover members 42b. The two second removable cover members 42b are provided on the left side X1 and the right side X2 of the storage section 50. The second removable cover members 42b are detachably attached to the pair of connecting support members 40, for example.

[0098] The connecting support part 40 has a predetermined height in the vertical direction Z. The fixed cover member 41 and the detachable cover member 42 are provided along the edge of the connecting support part 40 on the lower side Z2.

[0099] 2, the fixed cover member 41 and the detachable cover member 42 are cover members that cover the space formed between the pair of connecting supports 40 from below Z2. The fixed cover member 41 and the detachable cover member 42 do not need to strictly cover the space formed between the pair of connecting supports 40.

[0100] In this embodiment, the control device 60 is provided on the upper surface of the second detachable cover member 42b in the space formed between the pair of connecting support parts 40.

[0101] Furthermore, connecting portion 53 has an internal space through which wiring such as a power line can be inserted. The power line connecting control device 60 to conversion device 90 passes through the upper surface of second detachable cover member 42b and the internal space of connecting portion 53, and extends from control device 60 to conversion device 90.

[0102] This prevents the control device 60, power lines, and other wiring from being visible to users, improving the aesthetic appearance of the fixture 1 with a top panel.

[0103] The opening 53h of the connecting portion 53 communicates with the internal space of the connecting portion 53. Therefore, the user can install the power line connected to the plug socket of the converter 90 through the opening 53h.

[0104] Moreover, heat generated by the conversion device 90 can be dissipated through the openings 53h, and the conversion device 90 can be prevented from becoming too hot.

[0105] Next, how to use the fixture with tabletop 1 will be described.

[0106] As a preliminary preparation, the user connects the power line of the control device 60, which passes through the internal space of the connecting portion 53, to the plug socket of the conversion device 90, as described above.

[0107] Next, the user stores the fully charged portable power storage device 80 in the storage section 50 by attaching it to the top surface of the conversion device 90. The portable power storage device 80 is charged using, for example, a charging device provided outside the furniture unit 1 with a top.

[0108] The user may connect the power supply line of the control device 60 to the conversion device 90 after attaching the portable power storage device 80 to the top surface of the conversion device 90 .

[0109] The user holds the handle 82 of the portable power storage device 80, places the portable power storage device 80 inside the opening 50h, moves the portable power storage device 80 downward Z2 so that the connection terminal on the bottom of the portable power storage device 80 is electrically connected to the connection terminal on the top of the conversion device 90, and attaches the portable power storage device 80 to the conversion device 90.

[0110] Here, the area of ​​the opening 50h as viewed from the front-rear direction Y is larger than the size of the portable power storage device 80. Therefore, the user can attach the portable power storage device 80 to the conversion device 90 while avoiding interference between the user's hand or the portable power storage device 80 and the accommodation unit 50.

[0111] In this embodiment, the opening 50h is open to the rear Y1 and the front Y2, so that the user can attach the portable power storage device 80 to the conversion device 90 from either the rear Y1 or the front Y2 side.

[0112] As described above, the dimension of the top panel 10 in the front-rear direction Y is smaller than the dimension in the left-right direction X. Therefore, the user can easily attach the portable power storage device 80 to the conversion device 90 from the rear Y1 or the front Y2.

[0113] By attaching the portable power storage device 80 to the conversion device 90 , electricity stored in the portable power storage device 80 is supplied to the control device 60 via the conversion device 90 .

[0114] This allows the user to operate the operation unit 70 to raise and lower the tabletop 10. Specifically, when the user operates the operation unit 70, the control device 60 controls the lifting mechanism 31d based on the operation input to the operation unit 70, and raises and lowers the tabletop 10 by extending and contracting the legs 30 in the vertical direction Z.

[0115] A user raises or lowers the tabletop 10 to a predetermined height and performs various tasks on the upper surface (work plane) of the tabletop 10. At this time, the portable power storage device 80 is placed in the storage section 50 provided below the tabletop 10 at Z2, so that the work plane of the tabletop 10 is prevented from becoming narrower than when the portable power storage device 80 is placed on the upper surface of the tabletop 10.

[0116] When using an electronic device, the user may connect the power cord of the electronic device placed on the top surface of the tabletop 10 to a USB port provided on the outer surface of the portable power storage device 80, and power the electronic device from the portable power storage device 80.

[0117] Furthermore, when charging portable power storage device 80, the user removes portable power storage device 80 from housing portion 50. Specifically, the user holds grip portion 82, lifts portable power storage device 80, and removes it from the top surface of conversion device 90.

[0118] At this time, the opening 50h opens in the front-to-back direction Y, and since the size of the opening 50h is larger than the size of the portable power storage device 80, a user positioned at the rear Y1 or front Y2 of the tabletop-equipped fixture 1 can easily grasp the portable power storage device 80 and remove it from the storage section 50.

[0119] Furthermore, when removing the portable power storage device 80 from the storage unit 50, the user may extend or retract the legs 30. By extending or retracting the legs 30, the storage unit 50 connected to the top plate 10 or the support structure 20 moves up and down in the vertical direction Z. By raising and lowering the storage unit 50 to position it at any height, the user can easily remove the portable power storage device 80 from the storage unit 50.

[0120] The converter 90 may be supplied with power from the outside by being connected via a power line to an outlet provided on the floor F or wall of the conference room or the like in which the tabletop-equipped furniture 1 is placed.

[0121] When the conversion device 90 is supplied with power from the outside, the portable power storage device 80 may be attached to the upper surface of the conversion device 90, and thereby power may be supplied from the outside via the conversion device 90. In this case, for example, by attaching the portable power storage device 80 to the upper surface of the conversion device 90, the storage battery of the portable power storage device 80 can be charged.

[0122] Portable power storage device 80 may be configured to be able to receive power from the outside via a USB port provided on the outer circumferential surface.

[0123] The fixture 1 with a top plate of this embodiment comprises a top plate 10, a support structure 20 that is grounded on the floor surface F and supports the top plate 10, a portable power storage device 80, and a storage section 50 that has a mounting section 51 on which the portable power storage device 80 can be placed, is provided below the top plate 10 Z2, and is connected to the underside of the top plate 10 or the support structure 20.

[0124] The support structure 20 has at least a pair of legs 30 extending from the top board 10 to the floor surface F and spaced apart from each other in the left-right direction X.

[0125] The storage section 50 is spaced apart from the floor surface F in the upward direction Z1 and is provided between the pair of legs 30 in the left-right direction X.

[0126] According to the fixture 1 with a tabletop configured in this manner, electronic devices and the like used on the tabletop 10 can be supplied with power from the portable power storage device 80, thereby reducing the limitations on the installation location of the fixture 1 with a tabletop.

[0127] Furthermore, in the tabletop-equipped fixture 1, the storage section 50 on which the portable power storage device 80 is placed is provided at a distance Z1 above the floor surface F, so that sufficient space can be secured for the user's lower legs.

[0128] Although one embodiment of the present invention has been described above in detail with reference to the drawings, the specific configuration is not limited to this embodiment, and design modifications and the like are also included within the scope of the present invention. Furthermore, the components shown in the above-described embodiment and the following modified examples can be appropriately combined to form a configuration.
