Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] By the way, a clamp fitting such as a monitor stand may be installed on the edge of the tabletop. However, after attaching the partition panel, it is difficult to insert the clamp fitting between the tabletop and the partition panel and attach it to the edge of the tabletop. Also, when trying to install a table tap or the like, it may be difficult to insert the power plug or cable of the table tap between the tabletop and the partition panel. For this reason, in order to install these articles, it is necessary to remove the partition panel, which takes time and effort in the work. An object of the present invention is to provide a furniture with a tabletop that can easily pass articles between the tabletop and the partition panel. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] To solve the above problems, the present invention employs the following embodiments. (1) A fixture with a top plate according to one aspect of the present invention comprises: a top plate having an upward-facing work surface; a support structure that supports the top plate from below; and a partition panel provided along a part of the edge of the top plate and projecting upward from the top plate, thereby partitioning the space above the top plate and the space outside the top plate, wherein the partition panel comprises: a first panel member that extends in the first direction and is positioned with a first gap between it and a first edge extending in the first direction, in a first intersecting direction that intersects the first edge horizontally; and a cover member that is detachably connected to a first panel end of the first panel member located on one side in the first direction, and covers the first gap when viewed from the first direction. According to this embodiment, the first gap between the first panel member and the first edge is covered by the cover member when viewed from the first direction. Therefore, when the cover member is attached to the end of the first panel, the exposure of the first gap from the first direction is suppressed. When the cover member is removed from the end of the first panel, the first gap between the first panel member and the first edge is exposed in the first direction. Thus, it becomes possible to pass various items through the first gap between the first panel member and the first edge from the first direction. In this way, it becomes possible to easily pass items between the top plate and the partition panel without removing the entire partition panel.

[0006] (2) In the fixture with a top plate according to the embodiment of (1) above, it is preferable that the cover member has a first plate-like portion that is detachably connected to the end of the first panel and extends in the first direction along the first edge, and a second plate-like portion that extends from the first cover end located on one side of the first direction toward the first edge and covers the first gap when viewed from the first direction. According to this embodiment, by connecting the first plate-like portion to the end of the first panel, the first gap is closed when viewed from the first direction by the second plate-like portion that extends from the end of the first cover toward the first edge. This improves the appearance. When the cover member is removed, the first gap is opened toward the first direction. In this way, an article can be easily passed through the first gap.

[0007] (3) In the fixture with a top plate according to the embodiment of (2) above, the top plate preferably has a second edge that extends from the first edge in a second direction that intersects the first direction horizontally, and the second plate-like portion overlaps at least a part of the second edge when viewed from the first direction. According to this embodiment, the second plate-like portion overlaps at least a part of the second edge of the top plate, thereby more reliably covering the first gap when viewed from the first direction.

[0008] (4) In a fixture with a top plate according to the embodiment of (2) or (3) above, the top plate has a second edge that extends from the first edge in a second direction that intersects the first direction horizontally, and the partition panel further comprises a second panel member that is positioned between itself and the second edge with a second gap in a second intersecting direction that intersects the second direction horizontally, and extends along the second edge in the second direction, and the second plate-like portion is detachably connected to the second panel end of the second panel member located on one side in the second direction. According to this embodiment, a first panel member and a second panel member are installed along the first and second edges of the top plate, and a cover member is placed at the intersection of the first and second edges. By removing the cover member from the first and second panel ends, the first gap is opened in the first direction, and the second gap is opened in the second direction. This allows articles to be easily passed through the first and second gaps.

[0009] (5) In the fixture with a top plate according to the embodiment of (4) above, it is preferable that the end of the second panel is located on the other side in the second direction with respect to the first edge. According to this embodiment, since the second panel end is located on the other side in the second direction relative to the first end edge, when the cover member is removed and an article is passed through the first gap along the first direction, interference between the article and the second panel end is suppressed.

[0010] (6) In a fixture with a top plate according to any of the embodiments of (1) to (5) above, it is preferable that the support structure supports the top plate so that it can be raised and lowered. According to this embodiment, when multiple fixtures with tops are arranged side by side, the top of the fixture on which the item is attached can be raised or lowered to a different height from the tops of other adjacent fixtures. This makes it possible to easily secure a workspace for passing the item through while minimizing interference with the partition panels of other fixtures when the cover member is removed. [Effects of the Invention]

As shown in Figures 1, 2, and 6, in this embodiment, the cover member 53 is provided to cover the corner 10C (connecting portion) of the top plate 10. As shown in Figure 6, the corner 10C is formed by one end 11a1 in the first direction D1 of the first rear edge 11a and one end 12a1 in the second direction D2 of the second rear edge 12a. In the illustrated example, the angle between the first rear edge 11a and the second rear edge 12a at the corner 10C is formed to be, for example, 90°. However, the angle between the first rear edge 11a and the second rear edge 12a at the corner 10C may be formed to be acute or obtuse. Furthermore, the corner 10C connecting the first rear edge 11a and the second rear edge 12a may be formed in an arc shape when viewed from above.

[0052] As shown in Figures 6 and 8, the cover member 53 is L-shaped (V-shaped) when viewed from above and integrally comprises a first plate-like portion 58 and a second plate-like portion 59. The cover member 53 has the same height in the vertical direction Dv as the first panel member 51A and the second panel member 52A, and is provided within the same height range in the vertical direction Dv as the first panel member 51A and the second panel member 52A.

[0053] As shown in Figure 6, the first plate-like portion 58 extends in the first direction D1 along the portion of the first rear edge 11a that constitutes the corner 10C. The first plate-like portion 58 overlaps a part of the first rear edge 11a when viewed from the second direction D2. The first plate-like portion 58 covers one end 11a1 of the first rear edge (third edge) 11a that is exposed on one side in the first direction D1 relative to the first panel member 51A, from the rear side in the first depth direction D1a.

[0054] The first plate-like portion 58 is positioned between itself and the first rear edge 11a with a third gap (third panel gap) G3 in the first depth direction D1a. In this embodiment, the third gap G3 has the same dimensions as the first gap G1.

[0055] As shown in Figures 6 and 7, a U-shaped locking recess 58k is formed on the other end of the first plate-like portion 58 in the first direction D1 when viewed from above. The locking recess 58k and the locking recess 59k described later are formed by attaching a metal plate 58m, with both ends bent in a crank shape, to the front side of the first depth direction D1a relative to the first plate-like portion 58 and to the front side of the second depth direction D2a relative to the second plate-like portion 59. The locking recess 58k extends in the vertical direction Dv on the upper part of the cover member 53. As shown in Figure 6, the first locking piece 51k of the first panel member 51A is inserted into the locking recess 58k. As a result, the first plate-like portion 58 is provided so as to be continuous with the panel body 511 in the same plane.

[0056] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 8, a fixing bracket 58p is integrally provided below the locking recess 58k in the first plate-like portion 58. As shown in Figures 6 and 8, the fixing bracket 58p has a rising wall 581 that rises from the first plate-like portion 58 towards the front side in the first depth direction D1a, and a support plate 582 that protrudes from the rising wall 581 to the other side in the first direction D1. As shown in Figure 6, the support plate 582 is provided along the support surface 54g of the support member 54.

[0057] As shown in Figure 8, the support plate 582 has a recess 583 that opens downward and a through hole 584. The fixing bracket 58p is detachably connected to the first panel member 51A by fastening a bolt (not shown) to the support member 54 through the recess 583 and the through hole 584.

[0058] As shown in Figure 6, the second plate-like portion 59 extends in the second direction D2 along the portion of the second rear edge 12a that constitutes the corner 10C. The second plate-like portion 59 extends from the first cover end 58z located on one side of the first direction D1 in the first plate-like portion 58, approaching the first rear edge 11a along the first direction D1. The second plate-like portion 59 overlaps a part of the second rear edge 12a when viewed from the first direction D1. The second plate-like portion 59 covers one end 12a1 of the second rear edge (third edge) 12a that is exposed on one side of the second direction D2 relative to the second panel member 52A, from the rear side in the second depth direction D2a.

[0059] The second plate-like portion 59 is positioned between itself and the second rear edge 12a with a fourth gap (third panel gap) G4 in the second depth direction D2a. The fourth gap G4 has the same dimensions as the third gap G3. In this embodiment, however, the fourth gap G4 may be different from the third gap G3.

[0060] The cover member 53 creates a third gap G3 and a fourth gap G4 between the first panel member 51A and the second panel member 52A, which block communication with the outer space Sa. Here, the third gap G3 and the fourth gap G4 are in communication, and the third gap G3 and the fourth gap G4 form an L-shaped gap between the cover member 53 and the corner portion 10C when viewed from above. As a result, the first gap G1 and the second gap G2 are in communication through the third gap G3 and the fourth gap G4. The first plate-like portion 58 covers the third gap G3 when viewed from the first depth direction D1a. The second plate-like portion 59 covers the third gap G3 and the first gap G1 when viewed from the first direction D1. The second plate-like portion 59 also covers the fourth gap G4 when viewed from the second depth direction D2a. The first plate-like portion 58 also covers the fourth gap G4 and the third gap G3 when viewed from the second direction D2.

[0061] As shown in Figures 6 and 8, a U-shaped locking recess 59k is formed at the other end of the second plate-like portion 59 in the second direction D2, as viewed from above. The locking recess 59k extends in the vertical direction Dv on the upper part of the cover member 53 (second plate-like portion). As shown in Figure 6, the second locking piece 52k of the second panel member 52A is inserted into the locking recess 59k. As a result, the second plate-like portion 59 is provided to be continuous with the panel body 521 in the same plane.

[0062] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 8, a fixing bracket 59p is integrally provided below the locking recess 59k in the second plate-like portion 59. As shown in Figures 6 and 8, the fixing bracket 59p has a rising wall 591 that rises from the second plate-like portion 59 towards the front side in the second depth direction D2a, and a support plate 592 that protrudes from the rising wall 591 to the other side in the second direction D2. As shown in Figure 6, the support plate 592 is provided so as to be along the support surface 56g of the support member 56.

[0063] As shown in Figure 8, the support plate 592 has a recess 593 that opens downward and a through hole 594. The fixing bracket 59p is detachably connected to the second panel member 52A by fastening a bolt (not shown) to the support member 56 through the recess 593 and the through hole 594.

[0064] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the first end panel 54A is provided at the other end 10A of the first portion 11 of the top plate in the first direction D1. The first end panel 54A extends along the first side edge 11c of the first portion 11 of the top plate towards the front side of the first depth direction D1a. In this embodiment, the first end panel 54A is provided only on a portion of the rear side of the first side edge 11c in the first depth direction D1a. That is, the front end of the first side edge 11c in the first depth direction D1a is exposed to the outer space Sa. The first end panel 54A may be provided to cover the entire area of ​​the first side edge 11c in the first depth direction D1a. The first end panel 54A is attached to the lower surface of the first portion 11 of the top plate via a bracket (not shown). The first end panel 54A may be provided with a gap between it and the first side edge 11c.

[0065] The second end panel 54B is provided at the other end 10B of the second portion 12 of the top plate in the second direction D2. The second end panel 54B extends along the second side edge 12c of the second portion 12 of the top plate towards the front side of the second depth direction D2a. In this embodiment, the second end panel 54B is provided only on a portion of the rear side of the second side edge 12c in the second depth direction D2a. That is, the front end of the second side edge 12c in the second depth direction D2a is exposed to the outer space Sa. The second end panel 54B may be provided to cover the entire area of ​​the second side edge 12c in the second depth direction D2a. The second end panel 54B is attached to the lower surface of the second portion 12 of the top plate via a bracket (not shown). The second end panel 54B may be provided with a gap between it and the second side edge 12c.

[0066] As shown in Figure 1, an operating section 95 is provided on the underside of the first front edge 11b of the first portion 11 of the top plate. The operating section 95 is fixed to the underside of the first portion 11 of the top plate. The operating section 95 can be operated by a user facing the front side of the first depth direction D1a relative to the first front edge 11b. However, the operating section 95 can be provided at any position and in any number on the top plate 10.

[0067] The partition panel 50A, supported by the top plate 10, consists of the first panel member 51A, the second panel member 52A, the cover member 53, the first end panel 54A, and the second end panel 54B, and can be raised and lowered together with the top plate 10. In the top plate equipped fixture 100A, when a user operates the control unit 95, the first leg member 21, the second leg member 22, and the third leg member 23 extend and retract synchronously, causing the top plate 10 and the partition panel 50A to rise and lower together.

[0068] In the partition panel 50A, the cover member 53 is detachably attached to the first panel member 51A and the second panel member 52A. Unlike the first panel member 51A and the second panel member 52A, the cover member 53 is not fixed to the top plate 10 via brackets 55 and 57. By removing bolts (not shown) attached to the fixing brackets 58p and 59p, the cover member 53 is released from its attachment to the first panel member 51A and the second panel member 52A, and can be pulled upward from between the first panel member 51A and the second panel member 52A.

[0069] Figure 9 is a plan view showing the partition panel 50A according to this embodiment with the cover member 53 removed. When the cover member 53 is removed from between the first panel member 51A and the second panel member 52A, as shown in Figure 9, the third gap G3 and the fourth gap G4 communicate with the outer space Sa. In this state, through the third gap G3, as shown in Figures 7 and 9, an item 200 such as a clamp fitting for a monitor stand or a power strip cable can be inserted into the first gap G1 between the first panel member 51A and the first rear edge 11a of the top plate 10. Also, through the fourth gap G4, an item such as a clamp fitting for a monitor stand or a power strip cable can be inserted into the second gap G2 between the second panel member 52A and the second rear edge 12a of the top plate 10.

[0070] As described above, in this embodiment, the fixture with a top plate 100A comprises a top plate 10 having an upward-facing work surface 10f, a support structure 20 that supports the top plate 10 from below, and a partition panel 50A provided along a part of the edge of the top plate 10 and projecting upward from the top plate 10, thereby partitioning the space above the top plate 10 S1 and the space outside the top plate 10 Sa. The partition panel 50A comprises a first panel member 51A that extends in the first direction D1 and is positioned with a first gap G1 in the first depth direction D1a that intersects the first rear edge 11a in the first direction D1, and a cover member 53 that is detachably connected to a first panel end 51s located on one side of the first panel member 51A in the first direction D1, and covers the first gap G1 when viewed from the first direction D1. In this configuration, the first gap G1 between the first panel member 51A and the first rear edge 11a is covered by the cover member 53 when viewed from the first direction D1. Therefore, when the cover member 53 is attached to the first panel end 51s, the first gap G1 is not exposed to the first direction D1. When the cover member 53 is removed from the first panel end 51s, the first gap G1 between the first panel member 51A and the first rear edge 11a is opened to the first direction D1. Thus, it becomes possible to pass various items through the first gap G1 between the first panel member 51A and the first rear edge 11a from the first direction D1. In this way, it becomes possible to easily pass items between the top plate 10 and the partition panel 50A without removing the entire partition panel 50A.

[0071] In this embodiment, the cover member 53 is detachably connected to the first panel end 51s and has a first plate-like portion 58 that extends in a first direction D1 along the first rear edge 11a, and a second plate-like portion 59 that extends from the first cover end 58z located on one side of the first direction D1 toward the first rear edge 11a and covers the first gap G1 when viewed from the first direction D1. With this configuration, by connecting the first plate-like portion 58 to the first panel end 51s, the first gap G1 is closed when viewed from the first direction D1 by the second plate-like portion 59 that extends from the first cover end 58z toward the first rear edge 11a. This improves the appearance. When the cover member 53 is removed, the first gap G1 is opened toward the first direction D1. In this way, the article 200 can be easily passed through the first gap G1.

[0072] In this embodiment, the top plate 10 has a second rear edge 12a that extends from the first rear edge 11a in a second direction D2 that intersects the first direction D1 horizontally, and the second plate-like portion 59 is configured to overlap a part of the second rear edge 12a when viewed from the first direction D1. With this configuration, the second plate-like portion 59 overlaps with a part of the second rear edge 12a of the top plate 10, so that the second plate-like portion 59 can more reliably cover the first gap G1 when viewed from the first direction D1.

[0073] In this embodiment, the top plate 10 has a second rear edge 12a that extends from the first rear edge 11a in a second direction D2 that intersects the first direction D1 horizontally. The partition panel 50A is further provided with a second panel member 52A that is positioned between it and the second rear edge 12a with a second gap G2 in the second depth direction D2a that intersects the second direction D2 horizontally, and extends in the second direction D2 along the second rear edge 12a. The second plate-like portion 59 is detachably connected to the second panel end portion 52s of the second panel member 52A that is located on the other side of the second direction D2. In this configuration, the first panel member 51A and the second panel member 52A are installed along the first rear edge 11a and the second rear edge 12a of the top plate 10, and a cover member 53 is placed at the intersection of the first rear edge 11a and the second rear edge 12a. By removing the cover member 53 from the first panel end 51s and the second panel end 52s, the first gap G1 is opened in the first direction D1, and the second gap G2 is opened in the second direction D2. As a result, articles 200 can be easily passed through the first gap G1 and the second gap G2.

[0074] In this embodiment, the second panel end portion 52s on one side of the panel body 521 in the second direction D2 is positioned on the other side of the second direction D2 relative to the first rear edge 11a of the first top plate portion 11. With this configuration, since the second panel end 52s is located on the other side of the second direction D2 relative to the first rear edge 11a, when the cover member 53 is removed and the article 200 is passed through the first gap G1 along the first direction D1, interference between the article 200 and the second panel end 52s is suppressed.

[0075] In this embodiment, the support structure 20 is configured to support the top plate 10 so that it can be raised and lowered. With this configuration, when multiple top-mounted fixtures 100A are arranged side by side, the top plate 10 of the top-mounted fixture 100A on which the items are attached can be raised or lowered to a different height from the top plates 10 of other adjacent top-mounted fixtures 100A. This makes it easy to secure a workspace for passing items through while minimizing interference with the partition panels 50A of other top-mounted fixtures 100A when the cover member 53 is removed.

[0076] [Second Embodiment] (Display unit with tabletop) Figure 10 is a perspective view showing the tabletop-equipped fixture 100B according to this embodiment. As shown in Figure 10, the furniture with a tabletop 100B is placed on the floor surface F of the workspace in an office, public facility, etc. The furniture with a tabletop 100B comprises a tabletop 10, a support structure 20, and a partition panel 50B. In this embodiment, the fixture with a top panel 100B differs from the fixture with a top panel 100A in the first embodiment only in the configuration of the partition panel 50B. Therefore, in the following description, components common to the fixture with a top panel 100A in the first embodiment may be denoted by the same reference numerals and their descriptions may be omitted.

[0077] (Partition panel) Figure 11 is a view of the fixture with a top plate 100A according to this embodiment, seen from above. Figure 12 is a perspective view of the fixture with a top plate 100B according to this embodiment, seen from a different direction than in Figure 10. Figure 13 is a perspective view showing the partition panel 50B according to this embodiment. As shown in Figures 10, 11, 12, and 13, the partition panel 50B protrudes above the top plate 10, thereby partitioning the space above the top plate 10 S1 and the space outside the top plate 10 Sa. The partition panel 50B comprises a first panel member (first panel section) 51B, a second panel member (second panel section) 52B, a cover member 53, and end panels 54A and 54B.

[0078] The first panel member 51B extends in a first direction D1 along the first rear edge 11a of the first portion 11 of the top plate. The first panel member 51B is rectangular in shape when viewed from the first depth direction D1a and is provided to cover the entire area of ​​the first rear edge 11a in the first direction D1.

[0079] Figure 14 is a view from above of the connection portion between the first panel member 51B and the second panel member 52B and the cover member 53 in the partition panel 50B according to this embodiment. Figure 15 is a cross-sectional view of the first panel member 51B and the second panel member 52B according to this embodiment, viewed from the first direction D1 and the second direction D2, and is a cross-sectional view taken along the line XV-XV in Figure 11. As shown in Figures 13 to 15, the first panel member 51B includes a panel body 511, a support member 54, and a panel cover 512.

[0080] As shown in Figure 15, the panel cover 512 is formed, for example, by bending a metal plate, and integrally comprises an outer cover portion 512f, an inner cover portion 512g, and an upper cover portion 512t. The panel cover 512 may also be formed from a resin material or the like.

[0081] As shown in Figures 14 and 15, the outer cover portion 512f is located on the rear side in the first depth direction D1a relative to the panel body 511. The outer cover portion 512f is provided to cover the entire panel body 511 from the rear side in the first depth direction D1a, and forms the surface of the first panel member 51B that faces the rear side in the first depth direction D1a.

[0082] The inner cover portion 512g is located on the front side of the first depth direction D1a relative to the panel body 511. The inner cover portion 512g is provided to cover the entire panel body 511 from the front side of the first depth direction D1a, and forms a surface of the first panel member 51B that faces the front side of the first depth direction D1a. The support member 54 and the bracket 55 are exposed on the front side of the first depth direction D1a through an opening formed in the inner cover portion 512g. The inner cover portion 512g may also be provided to cover the support member 54 from the front side of the first depth direction D1a.

[0083] As shown in Figure 15, the upper cover portion 512t is located above the upper end of the panel body 511 and connects the upper end of the outer cover portion 512f and the inner cover portion 512g. The upper cover portion 512t forms an upward-facing surface on the first panel member 51B.

[0084] The first panel member 51B has a predetermined thickness T1 in the first depth direction D1a. In this embodiment, the thickness T1 of the first panel member 51B is the distance between the two faces of the panel cover 512 that face each other in the first depth direction D1a. As shown in Figure 14, the first panel member 51B (panel cover 512) is provided with a first gap (first panel gap) G21 in the first depth direction D1a between it and the first rear edge 11a of the first portion 11 of the top plate.

[0085] Furthermore, the first locking piece 51k of the panel body 511 is thinner than the thickness T1 and protrudes from the part of the panel cover 512 located behind the center of the first depth direction D1a to one side in the first direction D1. In the illustrated example, the first locking piece 51k is located on the front side of the first depth direction D1a relative to the outer cover portion 512f.

[0086] As shown in Figures 10, 11, 12, and 13, the second panel member 52B extends in the second direction D2 along the second rear edge 12a of the second portion 12 of the top plate. The second panel member 52B is rectangular when viewed from the second depth direction D2a and is provided to cover the entire area of ​​the second rear edge 12a in the second direction D2. As shown in Figures 13 to 15, the second panel member 52B includes a panel body 521, a support member 56, and a panel cover 522.

[0087] As shown in Figure 15, the panel cover 522 is formed, for example, by bending a metal plate, and integrally comprises an outer cover portion 522f, an inner cover portion 522g, and an upper cover portion 522t. The panel cover 522 may also be formed from a resin material or the like.

[0088] As shown in Figures 14 and 15, the outer cover portion 522f is located on the rear side in the second depth direction D2a relative to the panel body 521. The outer cover portion 522f is provided to cover the entire panel body 521 from the rear side in the second depth direction D2a, and forms the surface of the second panel member 52B that faces the rear side in the second depth direction D2a.

[0089] The inner cover portion 522g is located on the front side of the second depth direction D2a relative to the panel body 521. The inner cover portion 522g is provided to cover the entire panel body 521 from the front side of the second depth direction D2a, and forms the surface of the second panel member 52B that faces the front side of the second depth direction D2a. The support member 56 and the bracket 57 pass through the inner cover portion 522g and protrude towards the front side of the second depth direction D2a. The inner cover portion 522g may also be provided to cover the support member 56 from the front side of the second depth direction D2a.

[0090] As shown in Figure 15, the upper cover portion 522t is located above the upper end of the panel body 521 and connects the upper end of the outer cover portion 522f and the inner cover portion 522g. The upper cover portion 522t forms an upward-facing surface in the second panel member 52B.

[0091] As shown in Figures 14 and 15, the second panel member 52B has a predetermined thickness T2 in the second depth direction D2a. In this embodiment, the thickness T2 of the second panel member 52B is the distance between the faces of the panel cover 522 that face both sides in the second depth direction D2a. In this embodiment, the thickness T1 of the first panel member 51B and the thickness T2 of the second panel member 52B are the same (T1=T2). However, the thickness T1 of the first panel member 51B and the thickness T2 of the second panel member 52B may be different.

[0092] The second panel member 52B (panel cover 522) is provided with a second gap (second panel gap) G22 in the second depth direction D2a between it and the second rear edge 12a of the second top plate portion 12. In this embodiment, the first gap G21 and the second gap G22 are of the same dimension. The dimensions of the first gap G21 and the second gap G22 may be different.

[0093] As shown in Figure 14, the second locking piece 52k of the panel body 521 is thinner than the panel cover 522 which has a thickness T2, and protrudes to one side in the second direction D2 from the portion of the panel cover 522 that is located behind the center of the second depth direction D2a. In the illustrated example, the second locking piece 52k is located on the front side of the second depth direction D2a relative to the outer cover portion 522f.

[0094] The cover member 53 is positioned between the first panel member 51B and the second panel member 52B. As shown in Figures 8 and 14, the cover member 53 is L-shaped (V-shaped) when viewed from above and integrally comprises a first plate-like portion 58 and a second plate-like portion 59.

[0095] As shown in Figure 14, the thickness T3 of the first plate-like portion 58 in the first depth direction D1a is thinner than the thickness T1 of the panel cover 512 of the first panel member 51B. The first plate-like portion 58 is positioned between itself and the first rear edge 11a with a third gap (third panel gap) G23 in the first depth direction D1a. The third gap G23 is larger than the first gap G21.

[0096] The thickness T4 of the second plate-like portion 59 in the second depth direction D2a is thinner than the thickness T3 of the panel cover 522. The second plate-like portion 59 is positioned between itself and the second rear edge 12a with a fourth gap (third panel gap) G24 in the second depth direction D2a. The fourth gap G24 is larger than the third gap G23. In this embodiment, the fourth gap G24 has the same dimensions as the third gap G23, but it may be different from the third gap G23.

[0097] The cover member 53 creates a third gap G23 and a fourth gap G24 between the first panel member 51B and the second panel member 52B, which block communication with the outer space Sa. Here, the third gap G23 and the fourth gap G24 are in communication, and the third gap G23 and the fourth gap G24 form an L-shaped gap between the cover member 53 and the corner portion 10C when viewed from above. As a result, the first gap G21 and the second gap G22 are in communication through the third gap G23 and the fourth gap G24. The first plate-like portion 58 covers the third gap G23 when viewed from the first depth direction D1a. The second plate-like portion 59 covers the third gap G23 and the first gap G21 when viewed from the first direction D1. The second plate-like portion 59 also covers the fourth gap G24 when viewed from the second depth direction D2a. The first plate-like portion 58 also covers the fourth gap G24 and the third gap G23 when viewed from the second direction D2.

[0098] Figure 16 is a plan view showing the partition panel 50B according to this embodiment with the cover member 53 removed. When the cover member 53 is removed from between the first panel member 51B and the second panel member 52B, as shown in Figure 16, a third gap G23 and a fourth gap G24, which are larger than the first gap G21 and the second gap G22, communicate with the outer space Sa. In this state, an item 200, such as a clamp fitting for a monitor stand or a power strip cable, can be inserted through the third gap G23 into the first gap G21 between the first panel member 51B and the first rear edge 11a of the top plate 10. Also, an item, such as a clamp fitting for a monitor stand or a power strip cable, can be inserted through the fourth gap G24 into the third gap G23 between the second panel member 52B and the second rear edge 12a of the top plate 10.

[0099] Thus, in this embodiment, the fixture with a top plate 100B comprises a top plate 10 having an upward-facing work surface 10f, a support structure 20 that supports the top plate 10 from below, and a partition panel 50B provided along a part of the edge of the top plate 10 and projecting upward from the top plate 10, thereby partitioning the space above the top plate 10 S1 and the space outside the top plate 10 Sa. The partition panel 50B comprises a first panel member 51B that extends in the first direction D1 and is positioned with a first gap G21 in the first depth direction D1a that intersects the first rear edge 11a in the first direction D1, and a cover member 53 that is detachably connected to a first panel end 51s located on one side of the first panel member 51B in the first direction D1, and covers the first gap G21 when viewed from the first direction D1. In this configuration, the first gap G21 between the first panel member 51B and the first rear edge 11a is covered by the cover member 53 when viewed from the first direction D1. Therefore, when the cover member 53 is attached to the first panel end 51s, the first gap G21 is not exposed to the first direction D1. When the cover member 53 is removed from the first panel end 51s, the first gap G21 between the first panel member 51B and the first rear edge 11a is opened to the first direction D1. Thus, it becomes possible to pass various items through the first gap G21 between the first panel member 51B and the first rear edge 11a from the first direction D1. In this way, it becomes possible to easily pass items between the top plate 10 and the partition panel 50B without removing the entire partition panel 50B.

[0100] In this embodiment, the cover member 53 is configured to have a first plate-like portion 58 which is positioned with a third gap G23 in the first depth direction D1a between it and the first rear edge 11a, extends in the first direction D1 along the first rear edge 11a and is detachably connected to the first panel end 51s, and a second plate-like portion 59 which extends from the first cover end 58z located on one side of the first direction D1 toward the first rear edge 11a and covers the first gap G21 when viewed from the first direction D1. With this configuration, by connecting the first plate-like portion 58 to the first panel end 51s, the third gap G23 is closed by the first plate-like portion 58 when viewed from the first depth direction D1a. In addition, the second plate-like portion 59, which extends from the first cover end 58z toward the first rear edge 11a, closes the first gap G21 and the third gap G23 when viewed from the first direction D1. This improves the appearance. When the cover member 53 is removed, the first gap G21 and the third gap G23 are opened toward the first direction D1. The third gap G23 is also opened toward the first depth direction D1a. In this way, the article 200 can be easily passed through the third gap G23 to the first gap G21.

[0101] In this embodiment, the top plate 10 has a second rear edge 12a that extends from the first rear edge 11a in a second direction D2 that intersects the first direction D1 horizontally, and the second plate-like portion 59 is configured to overlap a part of the second rear edge 12a when viewed from the first direction D1. With this configuration, the second plate-like portion 59 overlaps with a part of the second rear edge 12a of the top plate 10, so that the second plate-like portion 59 can more reliably cover the first gap G21 when viewed from the first direction D1.

[0102] In this embodiment, the third gap G23 is configured to be larger than the first gap G21 in the first depth direction D1a. With this configuration, the third gap G23 is formed to be larger than the first gap G21 in the first depth direction D1a, making it easier to insert the article 200 into the first gap G21 through the third gap G23.

[0103] In this embodiment, the thickness T1 of the first plate-like portion 58 in the first depth direction D1a is smaller than the thickness T2 of the first panel member 51B in the first depth direction D1a. With this configuration, the surface of the first panel member 51B opposite to the side facing the first rear edge 11a and the surface of the first plate-like portion 58 opposite to the side facing the first rear edge 11a are formed to be continuous on the same planar surface, while the third gap G23 can be made larger than the first gap G21.

[0104] In this embodiment, the top plate 10 has a second rear edge 12a that extends from the first rear edge 11a in a second direction D2 that intersects the first direction D1 horizontally. The partition panel 50B is further provided with a second panel member 52B that is positioned between the partition panel 50B and the second rear edge 12a with a second gap G22 in a second depth direction D2a that intersects the second direction D2 horizontally, and extends in the second direction D2 along the second rear edge 12a. The second plate-like portion 59 is detachably connected to the second panel end 52s of the second panel member 52B that is located on the other side of the second direction D2. In this configuration, the first panel member 51B and the second panel member 52B are installed along the first rear edge 11a and the second rear edge 12a of the top plate 10, while the cover member 53 is placed at the intersection of the first rear edge 11a and the second rear edge 12a. By removing the cover member 53 from the first panel end 51s and the second panel end 52s, the first gap G21 is opened in the first direction D1, and the third gap G23 is opened in the second direction D2. As a result, items can be easily passed through the first gap G21 and the third gap G23.

[0105] In this embodiment, the second plate-like portion 59 is positioned between itself and the second rear edge 12a with a fourth gap G24 in the second depth direction D2a, and the fourth gap G24 is larger in the second depth direction D2a than the second gap G22. With this configuration, the fourth gap G24 is formed to be larger than the second gap G22 in the second depth direction D2a, making it easier to insert an item into the second gap G22 through the fourth gap G24.

[0106] (Modified examples of the embodiment) In the above embodiment, the partition panel 50 is configured to include a first panel member 51, a second panel member 52, and a cover member 53, but it is not limited to this configuration. Figure 17 is a plan view showing a modified example of this embodiment, specifically a fixture 100C with a tabletop. For example, as shown in Figure 17, the partition panel 50C of the fixture with a top plate 100C may be configured to include a first panel member 51C extending in a first direction D1, and a cover member 53C that is detachably connected to the first panel end 51s of the first panel member 51C and covers the first gap G1 when viewed from the first direction D1.

[0107] (Other embodiments) While preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments. Additions, omissions, substitutions, and other modifications are possible without departing from the spirit of the invention. The present invention is not limited by the above description, but only by the appended claims. For example, although the configuration of the support structure 20 was described in the above embodiment, the configuration of the support structure 20 can be changed as appropriate, as long as it can support the top plate 10 from below. For example, the number and arrangement of the first leg member 21, the second leg member 22, and the third leg member 23 can be changed as appropriate.

[0108] For example, in the above embodiment, the first rear edge 11a and the first front edge 11b, and the second rear edge 12a and the second front edge 12b are parallel to each other, but the embodiment is not limited to this, and the first rear edge 11a and the first front edge 11b, and the second rear edge 12a and the second front edge 12b do not have to be parallel to each other.

[0109] In the above embodiment, the first rear edge 11a and the second rear edge 12a are configured to extend in a straight line, but the embodiment is not limited to this. The first rear edge 11a and the second rear edge 12a may also be arc-shaped or the like, extending to the rear in the first depth direction D1a and the second depth direction D2a.

[0110] In the above embodiment, the planar shape of the top plate 10 is L-shaped, where the angle between the first direction D1 of the first portion 11 of the top plate and the second direction D2 of the second portion 12 of the top plate is 90°, but it is not limited to this. For example, the planar shape of the top plate 10 may be V-shaped, where the angle between the first direction D1 of the first portion 11 of the top plate and the second direction D2 of the second portion 12 of the top plate is less than 90° or greater than 90°. In this case, the first direction D1 will be in a different direction from the second depth direction D2a. Also, the second direction D2 will be in a different direction from the first depth direction D1a. Furthermore, the planar shape of the top plate 10 may be other than L-shaped or V-shaped. For example, the planar shape of the top plate 10 may be a rectangle, a square or other polygon, a circle, an ellipse, an oblong, a semicircle, etc. Even in such a top plate 10, a first panel member provided along a first edge extending in a first direction, a second panel member provided along a second edge adjacent to the first edge and extending in a second direction, and a cover member provided between the first panel member and the second panel member can be provided.

[0111] In the above embodiment, the first panel members 51A to 51C and the second panel members 52A and 52B are each attached to the top plate 10, but the first panel members 51A to 51C and the second panel members 52A and 52B may also be attached to the support structure 20.

[0112] [Third Embodiment] Figure 18 is a plan view showing a fixture with a tabletop according to this embodiment. As shown in Figure 18, the fixture with a top plate 100D according to this embodiment comprises a top plate 10D, a support structure 20D, and a partition panel 50D.

[0113] The tabletop 10D, for example, is rectangular when viewed from above and has an upward-facing work surface 10f. The support structure 20D is installed on the floor surface F and supports the tabletop 10D from below.

[0114] The partition panel 50D is provided along a portion of the edge 13 of the top plate 10D. The partition panel 50D protrudes above the top plate 10D, thereby separating the space S1 above the top plate 10D from the space Sa outside the top plate 10D.

[0115] The edge 13 comprises a first edge 13a, a second edge 13b, and a third edge 13c. In this embodiment, the first edge 13a, the second edge 13b, and the third edge 13c are formed on one side (long side) of the rectangular top plate 10D when viewed from above, and extend in a straight line. The first edge 13a extends in the first direction D1 of the horizontal direction. The second edge 13b is formed separately from the first edge 13a in the direction in which the edge 13 extends. The second edge 13b extends in the second horizontal direction D2. In this embodiment, the first direction D1 in which the first edge 13a extends and the second direction D2 in which the second edge 13b extends are the same direction. The third edge 13c connects the first edge 13a and the second edge 13b.

[0116] The partition panel 50D comprises a first panel section 61, a second panel section 62, and a connecting panel section 63.

[0117] The first panel portion 61 extends in a first direction D1 along the first end edge 13a. The first panel portion 61 is positioned in a first depth direction D1a that intersects the first direction D1 in the horizontal direction, with a first panel gap G11 between it and the first end edge 13a.

[0118] The second panel portion 62 extends in the second direction D2 (first direction D1) along the second edge 13b, with a gap between it and the first panel portion 61, separated by a connecting panel portion 63. The second panel portion 62 is positioned in the second depth direction D2a, which intersects the second direction D2 in the horizontal direction, with a second panel gap G12 between it and the second edge 13b. In this embodiment, the second depth direction D2a is the same as the first depth direction D1a. Also, in this embodiment, the size of the first panel gap G11 and the second panel gap G12 in the first depth direction D1a (second depth direction D2a) are the same.

[0119] The connecting panel portion 63 extends along the third end edge 13c between the first panel portion 61 and the second panel portion 62. The connecting panel portion 63 connects the first panel portion 61 and the second panel portion 62. In this embodiment, the connecting panel portion 63 is formed integrally with the first panel portion 61 and the second panel portion 62. The connecting panel portion 63 may be provided in a manner that prevents it from being detachably attached to the first panel portion 61 and the second panel portion 62.

[0120] The partition panel 50D has a recess 65 formed in the portion where the connecting panel portion 63 is provided, which is recessed in the first depth direction D1a. Due to this recess 65, the connecting panel portion 63 forms a third panel gap G13 between itself and the third end edge 13c, which is larger than the first panel gap G11 and the second panel gap G12.

[0121] In this configuration, in the portion where the connecting panel portion 63 is provided between the first panel portion 61 and the second panel portion 62, a third panel gap G13 is formed between it and the third end edge 13c, which is larger than the first panel gap G11 and the second panel gap G12. This makes it possible to pass various items through the first panel gap G11 and the second panel gap G12 by passing the item through the third panel gap G13 and then moving it in the first direction D1 (second direction D2). In this way, it is possible to easily pass items between the top plate 10D and the partition panel 50D without removing the entire partition panel 50D.

[0122] In the above embodiment, the first direction D1 in which the first edge 13a extends and the second direction D2 in which the second edge 13b extends may be different directions in the horizontal plane. Also, the edge 13 may be curved when viewed from above, from the first edge 13a through the third edge 13c to the second edge 13b.

[0123] In the above embodiment, the connecting panel portion 63 may be configured to be detachable from the first panel portion 61 and the second panel portion 62. This allows the third panel gap G13 to be opened and closed by attaching or detaching the connecting panel portion 63 to the first panel portion 61 and the second panel portion 62, similar to the first embodiment. Alternatively, the third panel gap G13 may be opened and closed by rotatably or slidably connecting the connecting panel portion 63 to the first panel portion 61 and the second panel portion 62.
