Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0005] By the way, a surface material may be attached to the surface of the panel-shaped support legs for the purpose of enhancing the design or the like. However, when the lower limbs, chair, wagon, etc. of the worker collide with the support legs, there is a risk that the end portion of the surface material will peel off from the surface of the support legs. An object of the present invention is to provide furniture with a top plate that can suppress the peeling of the end portion of the surface material and suppress the damage to the appearance.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0006] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention adopts the following aspects. (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, and a plurality of support legs provided on a floor surface and supporting the top plate from below, wherein at least one of the plurality of support legs is a panel-shaped slat body erected vertically on the floor surface, a first surface material provided to cover at least one side of the slat body facing one side in the thickness direction, and a cover member provided detachably at one end of the slat body in the extending direction of the slat body that intersects the thickness direction in the horizontal direction, and forming a wiring storage space between itself and the one end, wherein the cover member comprises a cover body provided to overlap the one end when viewed from the extending direction, and a first plate-like portion that protrudes from the cover body in the extending direction and faces the first side from one side in the thickness direction, and covers the end of the first surface material located at the end in the extending direction. According to this embodiment, the cover member that forms a wiring accommodation space between itself and the end of the leg body has a first plate-like portion that covers the end of the first surface material, which is provided to cover the first side surface of the leg body. This prevents the end of the first surface material from peeling off from the first side surface of the leg body. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the end of the first surface material from peeling off and to prevent damage to the appearance of the support leg.

[0007] (2) In the fixture with a top plate according to the embodiment of (1) above, the fixture further comprises a second surface material provided to cover at least a second side surface of the base body facing the other side in the thickness direction, wherein the cover member has a second plate-like portion that protrudes from the cover body in the extending direction and faces the second side surface from the other side in the thickness direction, and covers the end of the second surface material located at the end of the second surface material in the extending direction. According to this embodiment, the cover member has a second plate-like portion that covers the end of the second surface material, which is provided to cover the second side surface of the leg body. This prevents the end of the second surface material from peeling off from the second side surface of the leg body. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the end of the second surface material from peeling off and to prevent damage to the appearance of the support leg.

[0008] (3) In a fixture with a top plate according to the embodiment of (1) or (2) above, it is preferable that a wiring storage groove is formed at one end, extending in the vertical direction and opening to one side in the extending direction, and that the cover body is provided so as to cover the wiring storage groove. According to this embodiment, since wiring grooves are formed in the leg body, the wiring is housed in the wiring grooves, and then the wiring grooves are covered with the cover portion of the cover member. This reduces the protrusion of the cover member from the end of the leg body and prevents the support legs from becoming larger.

[0009] (4) In the fixture with a top plate according to the embodiment of (3) above, it is preferable that the wiring storage groove is open on both one side in the thickness direction and one side in the extension direction. According to this embodiment, the wiring grooves formed in the panel-shaped support body are open in the thickness direction and the extension direction of the support body. Therefore, it is easy to house the wiring in the wiring grooves, resulting in excellent workability. Furthermore, since the wiring grooves are formed at the ends in the extension direction of the support body, even when a cover member covering the wiring grooves is attached, it is possible to prevent the cover member from being exposed in the thickness direction of the support body, thus preventing damage to the appearance of the support legs when viewed from the thickness direction.

[0010] (5) In the fixture with a top plate according to the embodiment of (4) above, it is preferable that the inner surface of the wiring storage groove has a first groove-forming surface extending from the first side surface of the leg body to the other side in the thickness direction, and a second groove-forming surface extending in the extension direction from the end surface of the leg body facing one side in the extension direction. According to this embodiment, the inner surface of the wiring housing groove has a first groove-forming surface and a second groove-forming surface, which allows the wiring housing groove to be widely open in the thickness direction and the extension direction. Therefore, wiring can be easily housed in the wiring housing groove.

[0011] (6) In a fixture with a top plate according to the embodiment of (5) above, the cover member further comprises a first locking portion provided on the first groove-forming surface and a second locking portion provided on the second groove-forming surface, wherein the cover member preferably has a cover body that covers the wiring housing groove, a first locking portion that extends from the cover body in the thickness direction and is locked to the first locking portion, and a second locking portion that extends from the cover body in the extending direction and is locked to the second locking portion. According to this embodiment, the cover member can be easily attached to the frame by engaging the first locking portion with the first locking portion provided on the first groove-forming surface and engaging the second locking portion with the second locking portion provided on the second groove-forming surface. Furthermore, since the first locking portion extends in the thickness direction from the main body of the cover member, the cover member can be easily positioned in the extension direction relative to the wiring housing groove by bringing the first locking portion into contact with the first groove-forming surface. Furthermore, since the second locking portion extends in the extension direction from the main body of the cover member, the cover member can be easily positioned in the thickness direction relative to the wiring housing groove by bringing the second locking portion into contact with the second groove-forming surface. In this way, the cover member can be easily positioned and attached to the frame. Furthermore, since the first locking portion and the second locking portion are formed on the inner surface of the wiring housing groove, the connection portion between the cover member and the leg body is less likely to be exposed to the outside of the support leg. [Effects of the Invention]

In this embodiment, the multiple support legs 10 are provided point-symmetrically with respect to a position C midway between the first direction X and the second direction Y of the top plate 2. The multiple support legs 10 have the same configuration except for their orientation. For this reason, in the following description, the configuration of one of the multiple support legs 10 will be explained, and components common to multiple support legs 10 will be denoted by the same reference numerals in the figure and their explanation will be omitted.

[0018] Figure 3 is a perspective view showing the support legs 10 of the above-mentioned fixture with a tabletop 1. Figure 4 is a plan view of the support legs 10. As shown in Figures 2 to 4, the support leg 10 is formed, for example, in a J-shape (or L-shape) when viewed from above, and integrally comprises a first portion 11 extending in a first direction X and a second portion 12 extending in an arc shape when viewed from above. As shown in Figure 2, the first portion 11 is positioned offset in the second direction Y with respect to the intermediate position C of the top plate 2. As shown in Figures 2 to 4, the first portion 11 extends linearly along the first direction X from one end 11a to the other end 11b. One end 12a of the second portion 12 is connected to the other end 11b of the first portion 11. The second portion 12 gradually curves in the second direction Y from one end 12a to the other end 12b. The other end 12b of the second portion 12 extends in the second direction Y. As shown in Figure 2, the other end 12b of the second portion 12 is positioned on the opposite side of the first portion 11 with respect to the intermediate position C in the second direction Y. Here, the relative coordinates of the support leg 10 in absolute coordinates are defined as follows: The direction in which the first part 11 extends horizontally is called the first extension direction D1, and the direction in which the second part 12 extends horizontally is called the second extension direction D2. The extension direction L is the direction in which the entire J-shaped support leg 10 extends, and which aligns with the first extension direction D1 in the first part 11 and the second extension direction D2 in the second part 12. In addition, in each of the first part 11 and the second part 12, the direction in the horizontal direction that intersects the first extension direction D1 and the second extension direction D2 is called the thickness direction Dt.

The second planar portion 21b is formed parallel to the first side surface 13f of the screen body 13 so as to face the first surface material end 15s of the first surface material 15A, which is located at the end on the first side in the extending direction L, with the first surface material end 15s in between. The second planar portion 21b is formed so as to face the end of the first side surface 13f in the extending direction L. The second planar portion 21b covers the first surface material end 15s on one side in the extending direction L of the first surface material 15A from one side in the thickness direction Dt. In this embodiment, the second planar portion 21b is in contact with the first surface material end 15s in the thickness direction Dt.

[0032] The curved surface portion 21c is provided between the first flat portion 21a and the second flat portion 21b, connecting the first flat portion 21a and the second flat portion 21b. When viewed from above, the curved surface portion 21c extends in an arc shape to connect the first flat portion 21a and the second flat portion 21b.

[0033] The protruding piece 21d extends in the extending direction L from the first flat portion 21a along the second side surface 13g of the script body 13. The protruding piece 21d is formed parallel to the second side surface 13g, with the second surface material end 15t, which is located at the end on the first side in the extending direction L, sandwiched between them. The protruding piece 21d covers the second surface material end 15t of the second surface material 15B from the thickness direction Dt. In this embodiment, the protruding piece 21d is provided separately from the second surface material 15B on the other side in the thickness direction Dt. The protruding piece 21d may be in contact with the second surface material end 15t of the second surface material 15B in the thickness direction Dt.

[0034] As shown in Figures 3 and 8, the cover body 21A has an upper wiring insertion portion (wiring insertion portion) 25A and a lower wiring insertion portion (wiring insertion portion) 25B that penetrate the cover body 21A and connect the inside and outside of the first wiring housing groove 18A. In this embodiment, the upper wiring insertion portion 25A is formed at the upper end of the curved surface portion 21c of the cover body 21A. The upper wiring insertion portion 25A is formed to be recessed downward from the upper end of the curved surface portion 21c.

The cover body 21B integrally includes a first flat portion 21e, a second flat portion (first plate-like portion) 21f, a curved surface portion 21g, and a protruding piece portion (second plate-like portion) 21h.

[0039] The first planar portion 21e is formed parallel to the second end face 13t of the screen body 13 so as to face the second end face 13t of the screen body 13. The second planar portion 21f is formed parallel to the first side surface 13f so as to face the first side surface 13f of the screen body 13, with the first surface material end 15u, which is located at the end on the second side in the extending direction L of the first surface material 15A, in between. The second planar portion 21f is formed so as to face the end of the first side surface 13f in the extending direction L. The second planar portion 21f covers the first surface material end 15u of the first surface material 15A from one side in the thickness direction Dt. In this embodiment, the second planar portion 21f is in contact with the first surface material end 15u.

[0040] The curved surface portion 21g is provided between the first flat portion 21e and the second flat portion 21f, connecting the first flat portion 21e and the second flat portion 21f. When viewed from above, the curved surface portion 21g extends in an arc shape to connect the first flat portion 21e and the second flat portion 21f.

[0041] The protruding piece 21h protrudes from the first flat portion 21e along the second side surface 13g of the script body 13 in the extending direction L. The protruding piece 21h is formed parallel to the second side surface 13g, with the second surface material end 15v, which is located at the end on the second side in the extending direction L, sandwiched between them. The protruding piece 21h covers the second surface material end 15v of the second surface material 15B from the thickness direction Dt. In this embodiment, the protruding piece 21h is provided at a distance from the second surface material end 15v of the second surface material 15B on the other side in the thickness direction Dt. The protruding piece 21h may be in contact with the second surface material end 15v of the second surface material 15B.

[0042] As shown in Figure 3, the cover body 21B has an upper wiring insertion portion 25A and a lower wiring insertion portion 25B that penetrate the cover body 21B and connect the inside and outside of the second wiring housing groove 18B. In this embodiment, the upper wiring insertion portion 25A is formed at the upper end of the curved surface portion 21g of the cover body 21B. The upper wiring insertion portion 25A is formed to be recessed downward from the upper end of the curved surface portion 21g. The lower wiring insertion portion 25B is formed to be recessed upward from the lower end of the curved surface portion 21g of the cover body 21B. The upper wiring insertion section 25A and the lower wiring insertion section 25B may be through holes that penetrate the cover body 21B.

[0043] As shown in Figures 4 and 7, the first locking portion 22 extends from the cover body 21B in the thickness direction Dt and is lockable to the first locking portion 19A. The second locking portion 23 extends from the cover body 21B in the extension direction L and is lockable to the second locking portion 19B. In this embodiment, the first locking portion 22 and the second locking portion 23 have, for example, notches that open downwards. The first locking portion 22 and the second locking portion 23 are locked from above to the first locking portion 19A and the second locking portion 19B, respectively, so that the first locking portion 19A and the second locking portion 19B are housed within the notches. This allows the cover member 20B to be easily attached to and detached from the second wiring housing groove 18B. The cover member 20B is provided such that, with the first locking portion 22 and the second locking portion 23 locked to the first locking portion 19A and the second locking portion 19B, a gap in the vertical direction Dv is created between the upper end of the cover body 21B and the lower surface of the top plate 2, or a bracket attached to the lower surface of the top plate 2. This allows the cover member 20B to be attached to or detached from the leg body 13 by lifting it from the state in which the first locking portion 22 and the second locking portion 23 are locked to the first locking portion 19A and the second locking portion 19B, releasing the locking between the first locking portion 22 and the second locking portion 23 and the first locking portion 19A and the second locking portion 19B.

[0044] Such a cover member 20B is provided so as to overlap the second end 13b of the script body 13 over the entire length of the vertical direction Dv when viewed from the extending direction L (first extending direction D1, first direction X). In other words, the cover member 20A covers the first groove forming surface 18j and the second end surface 13t over the entire length of the vertical direction Dv. The support leg 10 has a wiring accommodation space S2 formed by being surrounded by the cover body 21B of the cover member 20B, a first groove forming surface 18j, and a second groove forming surface 18k. The support leg 10 has an upper end opening 18u at the upper end of the leg body 13 in which the second wiring accommodation groove 18B (wiring accommodation space S2) opens upward, and a lower end opening (see Figure 5) at the lower end of the leg body 13 in which the second wiring accommodation groove 18B (wiring accommodation space S2) opens downward.

[0045] (Top plate) As shown in Figures 3 and 4, the upper plate 30 is provided so as to cover the upper end surface of the leg body 13 from above. The upper plate 30 is made of metal, for example. The leg body 13 is connected to the top plate 2 by joining the upper plate 30 to the underside of the top plate 2, or to a bracket attached to the underside of the top plate 2, using bolts or the like. In this manner, with the upper end of the script body 13 connected to the top plate 2, the inside and outside of the wiring storage spaces S1 and S2 are in communication through the space (opening) between the lower surface of the top plate 2 and the upper wiring insertion portion 25A of the cover members 20A and 20B.

[0046] (Bottom plate) As shown in Figures 4 and 5, the bottom plate 40 is provided so as to cover the lower end surface of the base body 13 and the lower end openings 18d of the first wiring groove 18A and the second wiring groove 18B from below. Alternatively, the bottom plate 40 may be provided so as to cover at least a portion of the lower end surface of the base body 13 and the lower end openings 18d of the first wiring groove 18A and the second wiring groove 18B from below. The cover members 20A and 20B are provided on the upper side of the bottom plate 40. That is, the lower edges of the cover bodies 21A and 21B of the cover members 20A and 20B are located on the bottom plate 40. As a result, the inside and outside of the wiring accommodation spaces S1 and S2 are in communication through the space (opening) between the upper surface of the bottom plate 40 and the lower wiring insertion portion 25B of the cover members 20A and 20B.

[0047] The bottom plate 40 is made of a material having higher rigidity than the main body 13, for example, metal. As shown in Figures 4 and 5, in this embodiment, the bottom plate 40 is formed such that, when viewed from above, the outer edges 40a, 40b, and 40c (see Figure 4) overlap with the cover members 20A, 20B and the first surface material 15A, are on the same plane as the first surface material 15A and the cover members 20A, 20B, or protrude slightly (for example, 1-2 mm) from the first surface material 15A and the cover members 20A, 20B. Furthermore, when viewed from above, the bottom plate 40 is formed such that, when viewed from above, the outer edge 40d protrudes by a predetermined dimension (for example, 1-2 mm) from the second surface material 15B to the other side in the thickness direction Dt. In other words, in the bottom plate 40, the outer edge 40d of the bottom plate 40 protrudes outward toward the top plate 2 in the portion that faces outward toward the top plate 2 when viewed from above.

[0048] As shown in Figures 4 to 7, a female screw portion 48 is provided in the bottom plate 40 in the portion that overlaps with the first wiring groove 18A and the second wiring groove 18B (wiring spaces S1 and S2) when viewed from above. In this embodiment, the female screw portion 48 is a nut welded to the upper surface of the bottom plate 40. The female screw portion 48 may also be a female screw hole that penetrates the bottom plate 40 vertically.

[0049] As shown in Figures 3 and 5, the support leg 10 is further equipped with a plurality of adjusters 50 to adjust the level according to the unevenness of the floor surface F. As shown in Figures 4 to 7, the adjuster 50 has a ground contact portion 51 that contacts the floor surface F and a screw shaft portion 52 that extends upward from the ground contact portion 51. In this embodiment, the adjuster 50 is connected to the bottom plate 40.

[0050] Of the multiple adjusters 50, at least the adjuster 50 that is positioned to overlap with the first wiring groove 18A and the second wiring groove 18B when viewed from above is attached to the bottom plate 40 by screwing its screw shaft portion 52 into the female screw portion 48.

[0051] As shown in Figures 6 and 7, in this embodiment, a hexagonal hole 52f for engaging a tool is formed at the upper end of the screw shaft portion 52. When adjusting the level with the adjuster 50, the screw shaft portion 52 can be easily rotated by engaging a tool with the hexagonal hole 52f. In this case, the tool can be easily rotated over a wide angle range as long as it does not interfere with the first groove forming surfaces 18f, 18j and the second groove forming surfaces 18g, 18k of the first wiring housing groove 18A and the second wiring housing groove 18B. Alternatively, the screw shaft portion 52 may protrude upward from the female screw portion 48, allowing the screw shaft portion 52 to be rotated by the operator's fingers.

[0052] In a support leg 10 with this configuration, as shown in Figures 1 and 3, wiring 100 connected to electronic equipment used on the work surface 2f of the top plate 2 can be routed along the underside of the top plate 2 and housed in the first wiring housing groove 18A and the second wiring housing groove 18B (wiring housing spaces S1 and S2) through the space between the underside of the top plate 2 and the upper wiring insertion portion 25A of the cover members 20A and 20B. The wiring 100 housed in the first wiring housing groove 18A and the second wiring housing groove 18B is led out horizontally through the space between the lower wiring insertion portion 25B of the cover members 20A and 20B and the upper surface of the bottom plate 40, and can be routed along the floor surface F. When housing the wiring 100 in the first wiring housing groove 18A and the second wiring housing groove 18B (wiring housing spaces S1 and S2), the cover members 20A and 20B can be attached to and detached from the leg body 13, making the wiring housing work easy.

[0053] Thus, in this embodiment, the fixture with a top plate 1 comprises a top plate 2 having an upward-facing work surface 2f, and a plurality of support legs 10 provided on the floor surface F and supporting the top plate 2 from below, wherein at least one of the plurality of support legs 10 is a panel-shaped base body 13 erected on the floor surface F along the vertical direction Dv, a first surface material 15A provided to cover at least one side surface 13f of the base body 13 facing one side in the thickness direction Dt, and a first end 13a and a second end 13b on one side of the base body 13 in the extension direction L of the base body 13 that intersects the thickness direction Dt in the horizontal direction, which are detachably attached to the first end 13a and second end 13b. The device includes cover members 20A and 20B, which are provided to form wiring accommodation spaces S1 and S2 between a first end 13a and a second end 13b, and each cover member 20A and 20B has a cover body 21A and 21B that are provided to overlap the first end 13a and the second end 13b when viewed from the extending direction L, and a second planar portion 21b and 21f that protrude from the cover body 21A and 21B in the extending direction L, facing the first side surface 13f from one side in the thickness direction Dt, and covering the first surface material ends 15s and 15u located at the end of the first surface material 15A in the extending direction L. In this configuration, the cover members 20A and 20B that form wiring accommodation spaces S1 and S2 between the first end 13a and the second end 13b of the leg body 13 have second planar portions 21b and 21f that cover the first surface material ends 15s and 15u of the first surface material 15A which is provided to cover the first side surface 13f of the leg body 13. This prevents the first surface material ends 15s and 15u of the first surface material 15A from peeling off from the first side surface 13f of the leg body 13. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the first surface material ends 15s and 15u of the first surface material 15A from peeling off and to prevent damage to the appearance of the support leg 10.

[0054] In this embodiment, the screen body 13 is further provided with a second surface material 15B that covers at least the second side surface 13g facing the other side in the thickness direction Dt, and the cover members 20A and 20B are configured to have protruding pieces 21d and 21h that project in the extending direction L from the main body of the cover part 21A and 21B and face the second side surface 13g from the other side in the thickness direction Dt, and cover the ends 15t and 15v of the second surface material located at the ends of the surface material in the extending direction L. In this configuration, the cover members 20A and 20B have protruding pieces 21d and 21h that cover the ends 15t and 15v of the second surface material 15B, which is provided to cover the second side surface 13g of the leg body 13. This prevents the ends 15t and 15v of the second surface material 15B from peeling off from the second side surface 13g of the leg body 13. Therefore, it is possible to prevent damage to the appearance of the support leg 10.

[0055] In this embodiment, a first wiring groove 18A and a second wiring groove 18B are formed at the first end 13a and the second end 13b on one side in the extending direction L, extending in the vertical direction Dv and opening to one side in the extending direction L. The cover body 21A and 21B are provided to cover the first wiring groove 18A and the second wiring groove 18B. With this configuration, since the leg body 13 has a first wiring groove 18A and a second wiring groove 18B, the wiring is housed in the first wiring groove 18A and the second wiring groove 18B, and then the first wiring groove 18A and the second wiring groove 18B are covered with the cover parts 21A and 21B of the cover members 20A and 20B. This reduces the protrusion dimensions of the cover members 20A and 20B from the first end 13a and the second end 13b of the leg body 13, thereby preventing the support leg 10 from becoming larger.

[0056] In this embodiment, the first wiring groove 18A and the second wiring groove 18B are configured to be open on both one side in the thickness direction Dt and one side in the extension direction L. In this configuration, the first wiring groove 18A and the second wiring groove 18B formed in the panel-shaped leg body 13 open in the thickness direction Dt and the extension direction L of the leg body 13. Therefore, it is easy to house wiring in the first wiring groove 18A and the second wiring groove 18B, resulting in excellent workability. Furthermore, since the first wiring groove 18A and the second wiring groove 18B are formed at the first end 13a and the second end 13b of the leg body 13 in the extension direction L, even when cover members 20A and 20B covering the first wiring groove 18A and the second wiring groove 18B are attached, it is possible to prevent the cover members 20A and 20B from being exposed in the thickness direction Dt of the leg body 13, thereby preventing the appearance of the support leg 10 from being compromised when viewed from the thickness direction Dt.

[0057] In this embodiment, the inner surfaces of the first wiring groove 18A and the second wiring groove 18B are configured to have first groove-forming surfaces 18f and 18j extending from the first side surface 13f of the screen body 13 to the other side in the thickness direction Dt, and second groove-forming surfaces 18g and 18k extending in the extension direction L from the first end surface 13s and second end surface 13t of the screen body 13 facing one side in the extension direction L. With this configuration, the inner surfaces of the first wiring groove 18A and the second wiring groove 18B have first groove-forming surfaces 18f and 18j and second groove-forming surfaces 18g and 18k, allowing the first wiring groove 18A and the second wiring groove 18B to be widely open in the thickness direction Dt and the extension direction L. Therefore, wiring can be easily accommodated in the first wiring groove 18A and the second wiring groove 18B.

[0058] In this embodiment, the support leg 10 further comprises a first locking portion 19A provided on the first groove-forming surfaces 18f and 18j, and a second locking portion 19B provided on the second groove-forming surfaces 18g and 18k. The cover members 20A and 20B are configured to have a cover body 21A and 21B that covers the first wiring housing groove 18A and the second wiring housing groove 18B, a first locked portion 22 that extends from the cover body 21A and 21B in the thickness direction Dt and is locked to the first locking portion 19A, and a second locked portion 23 that extends from the cover body 21A and 21B in the extension direction L and is locked to the second locking portion 19B. With this configuration, the cover members 20A and 20B can be easily attached to the suspension body 13 by engaging the first locking portion 22 of the cover members 20A and 20B with the first locking portion 19A provided on the first groove forming surfaces 18f and 18j, and engaging the second locking portion 23 of the cover members 20A and 20B with the second locking portion 19B provided on the second groove forming surfaces 18g and 18k. Furthermore, since the first locking portion 22 extends from the cover body 21A and 21B in the thickness direction Dt, the cover members 20A and 20B can be easily positioned in the extension direction L relative to the first wiring groove 18A and second wiring groove 18B by bringing the first locking portion 22 into contact with the first groove forming surfaces 18f and 18j. Furthermore, since the second locking portion 23 extends in the extension direction L from the cover portion body 21A, 21B, the cover members 20A, 20B can be easily positioned in the thickness direction Dt relative to the first wiring housing groove 18A, 20B and the second wiring housing groove 18B by bringing the second locking portion 23 into contact with the second groove forming surfaces 18g, 18k. In this way, the cover members 20A, 20B can be easily positioned and attached to the script body 13. Furthermore, since the first locking portion 19A and the second locking portion 19B are formed on the inner surfaces of the first wiring groove 18A and the second wiring groove 18B, the connection portion between the cover members 20A and 20B and the leg body 13 is less likely to be exposed to the outside of the support leg 10.

[0059] (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, in the embodiment described above, protruding pieces 21d and 21h are formed on the cover members 20A and 20B, but the embodiment is not limited to this. The cover members 20A and 20B may be configured without the protruding pieces 21d and 21h. This prevents a portion of the cover members 20A and 20B from being exposed on the other side in the thickness direction Dt when the support leg 10 is viewed from the other side in the thickness direction Dt.

[0060] In the embodiments described above, the cover members 20A and 20B are provided with curved surfaces 21c and 21g on the cover body 21A and 21B, but the invention is not limited to this. Figure 9 is a plan view showing a cover member 20C of a tabletop-equipped fixture 1 according to a modified embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Figure 9, instead of the curved surface portion 21c, the cover member 20C that covers the wiring housing groove 18A (18B) may be configured to have no curved surface portion 21c (21g) and to be connected to the first flat portion 21a and the second flat portion 21b in an L-shape when viewed from above.

[0061] In the embodiment described above, the support leg 10 is J-shaped when viewed from above, but it is not limited to this.

For example, as shown in Figure 10, the support leg 10B may be I-shaped when viewed from above. Figure 11 is a plan view showing the support legs 10C of a tabletop-equipped fixture 1 according to a modified embodiment of the present invention. Furthermore, as shown in Figure 11, for example, the support leg 10C may be approximately arc-shaped when viewed from above.

[0062] In the embodiment described above, the top plate 2 is a parallelogram when viewed from above, but it is not limited to this. For example, the top plate 2 may be a rectangle including a rectangle, a polygon, a circle, an ellipse, etc., when viewed from above.

[0063] In the embodiment described above, the support leg 10 is provided with a first wiring groove 18A, a second wiring groove 18B, and cover members 20A, 20B at the first end 13a and second end 13b on both sides in the extending direction L of the leg body 13, but is not limited to this. The first wiring groove 18A, the second wiring groove 18B, and the cover members 20A, 20B only need to be provided at at least one end in the extending direction L of the leg body 13.

[0064] In the embodiment described above, the first wiring groove 18A and the second wiring groove 18B are provided with a first locking portion 19A and a second locking portion 19B, and the cover members 20A and 20B are provided with a first locking portion 22 and a second locking portion 23. However, the first wiring groove 18A and the second wiring groove 18B may be provided with a first locking portion 22 and a second locking portion 23, and the cover members 20A and 20B may be provided with a first locking portion 19A and a second locking portion 19B.

[0065] In the embodiment described above, the first locking portion 19A and the second locking portion 19B are provided in the first wiring groove 18A and the second wiring groove 18B, respectively, but their positions can be changed as appropriate. For example, the first locking portion 19A and the second locking portion 19B may be provided on surfaces other than the inner surfaces of the first wiring groove 18A and the second wiring groove 18B, such as the first end face 13s, the second end face 13t, or the first side surface 13f. Alternatively, the cover members 20A and 20B may be attached to the script body 13 with screws or the like.

[0066] In the embodiments described above, the cover members 20A and 20B are made of metal having higher rigidity than the screen body 13, but the invention is not limited to this. The cover members 20A and 20B may be made of resin or the like, or they may be formed from the same material as the screen body 13.

[0067] In the embodiment described above, the first wiring groove 18A and the second wiring groove 18B are configured to be open on both one side in the thickness direction Dt and one side in the extension direction L, but the invention is not limited to this configuration. Figure 12 is a plan view showing the support legs 10D of a tabletop-equipped fixture 1 according to a modified embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Figure 12, a wiring groove 18C opening on one side in the extending direction L may be formed at the first end 13a and the second end 13b of the script body 13, and the cover portion body 21C of the cover member 20C may be provided so as to cover the wiring groove 18C.

[0068] In the embodiment described above, wiring grooves 18A to 18C are formed in the script body 13, but the embodiment is not limited to this. Figure 13 is a plan view showing the support legs 10E of a tabletop-equipped fixture 1 according to a modified embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Figure 13, wiring accommodation grooves may not be formed at the first end 13a and second end 13b of the screen body 13. Instead, a gap in the extending direction L may be created between the first end 13a and second end 13b and the cover body 21D of the cover member 20D to form a wiring accommodation space S5 capable of accommodating wiring.

[0069] In the embodiment described above, a bottom plate 40 and an upper plate 30 are provided, but the bottom plate 40 and the upper plate 30 may be omitted as appropriate.

[0070] In the embodiment described above, an adjuster 50 is provided, but casters may be provided instead of the adjuster 50.

[0071] In the embodiment described above, the support leg 10 is provided with a first surface material 15A and a second surface material 15B, but it may also be provided with only one of the first surface material 15A and the second surface material 15B. Alternatively, the first surface material may cover the first side surface 13f, the second end surface 13b, and the second side surface 13g of the script body 13. In this case, both ends of the first surface material will be covered by the cover member 20A at the first end surface 13a.

[0072] In the embodiment described above, the first surface material ends 15s, 15u of the first surface material 15A and the second surface material ends 15t, 15v of the second surface material 15B may be positioned at different locations from the first end 13a and second end 13b of the script body 13, as long as they are positioned to overlap with the first plate-like portion (second flat portion 21b, 21f) and the second plate-like portion (protruding piece portion 21d, 21h).

[0073] In the embodiment described above, a plurality of support legs 10 having the same configuration are provided. However, as long as at least one of the plurality of support legs 10 has the configuration shown in the embodiment described above, the other support legs may have different configurations or shapes. Furthermore, without departing from the spirit of the present invention, the components in the embodiments described above can be replaced with well-known components as appropriate, and the modifications described above can be combined as appropriate.
