Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] By the way, when panel-shaped support legs are formed of a wooden material or the like, there is a risk that the support legs will be damaged when the lower limbs, chairs, wagons, etc. of the worker collide with the support legs. An object of the present invention is to provide furniture with a top board that can suppress damage to the support legs and suppress damage to the appearance.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0005] 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 support legs provided on the floor surface to support the top plate from below, wherein the support legs comprise a leg body erected vertically on the floor surface, a bottom plate made of a material having higher rigidity than the leg body and provided along at least a portion of the outer peripheral edge of the lower surface of the leg body, and a grounding member installed on the floor surface to support the leg body and the bottom plate from below in a state spaced apart from the floor surface. According to this embodiment, a bottom plate made of a material having higher rigidity than the bottom plate is provided along at least a portion of the outer periphery of the lower surface of the bottom plate. Therefore, if the lower limbs of an office worker, a chair, a wagon, etc., collide with the bottom plate while it is separated from the floor by a ground contact member, damage to the bottom plate can be suppressed. Thus, damage to the support legs can be suppressed and the appearance can be kept from being compromised.

[0006] (2) In the fixture with a top plate according to the embodiment of (1) above, it is preferable that the bottom plate is provided so as to cover the entire lower surface of the base body from below. According to this embodiment, the bottom plate, formed from a material having higher rigidity than the screen body, can be used to reinforce the screen body by covering the entire lower surface of the screen body from below, thereby increasing the rigidity of the support legs.

[0007] (3) In a fixture with a top plate according to either of the embodiments of (1) or (2) above, it is preferable that at least a portion of the outer edge of the bottom plate protrudes outward in the horizontal direction from the outer peripheral edge of the lower surface of the base body. According to this embodiment, at least a portion of the outer edge of the bottom plate protrudes outward from the outer peripheral edge of the lower surface of the leg body in the horizontal direction, making it less likely for the worker's lower limbs, chair, wagon, etc., to collide with the lower end of the leg body. As a result, damage to the support legs can be suppressed more effectively.

[0008] (4) In a fixture with a top plate according to any of the embodiments of (1) to (3) above, it is preferable that the support legs are provided with a surface material that covers at least a part of the outer surface of the leg body, and the bottom plate is made of a material having higher rigidity than the surface material, and is provided spanning the lower surface of the leg body and the lower surface of the surface material, and is provided along at least a part of the outer peripheral edge of the lower surface of the surface material. According to this embodiment, the bottom plate is provided spanning the lower surface of the screen body and the lower surface of the surface material, and further provided along at least a portion of the outer peripheral edge of the lower surface of the surface material, thereby protecting the lower surface of the surface material and suppressing damage to the surface material.

[0009] (5) In a fixture with a top plate according to any of the embodiments of (1) to (4) above, the base body is preferably formed in a panel shape, and the base body has a frame portion and a plate material provided so as to cover the frame portion and forming the outer surface of the base body, and the bottom plate is preferably made of a material having higher rigidity than the frame portion and the plate material. According to this embodiment, since the bottom plate is made of a material that has higher rigidity than the frame and plate material, even if the lower limbs of an employee, chair, wagon, etc. collide with the bottom plate, damage to the frame and plate material can be 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 grounding member has a grounding portion that contacts the floor surface and a screw shaft portion that extends upward from the grounding portion, and that the bottom plate is provided with a female screw portion into which the screw shaft portion is screwed. According to this embodiment, the threaded shaft of the grounding member is screwed into the female threaded portion provided in the bottom plate, so that the grounding member is firmly connected to the bottom plate even if the slat body is made of, for example, wood. Furthermore, if the bottom plate is provided with a female threaded portion and the bottom plate is provided so as to cover the entire lower surface of the slat body from below, the degree of freedom in the layout of the female threaded portion, i.e., the grounding member, can be increased.

[0011] (7) In the fixture with a top plate according to the embodiment of (6) above, it is preferable that the base body has a wiring storage groove that extends vertically and opens horizontally, and that opens downward at the lower end of the base body, and that the female screw portion is provided in a position that overlaps with the wiring storage groove when viewed from above. According to this embodiment, a wiring groove is provided in the base body, allowing wiring for electronic devices used on the work surface of the top plate to be housed in the wiring groove. Furthermore, since the female screw portion into which the screw shaft of the grounding member is screwed is positioned to overlap with the wiring groove when viewed from above, the screw shaft can be rotated within the wiring groove from above the bottom plate. Therefore, the height of the grounding member can be easily adjusted.

[0012] (8) In the fixture with a top plate according to the embodiment of (7) above, it is preferable that the support legs further include a cover member which is detachably provided on the leg body and covers the wiring storage groove. According to this embodiment, by attaching the cover member to the main body, the wiring housing groove can be covered, preventing the wiring housed in the wiring housing groove from being exposed to the outside, and improving the appearance. [Effects of the Invention]

The protruding piece 21h is formed parallel to the second side surface 13g so as to face the second side surface 13g. The protruding piece 21h is provided so as to face the other end of the second surface material 15B in the extending direction L from the other side in the thickness direction Dt. In this embodiment, the protruding piece 21h is provided at a distance from the second surface material 15B on the other side in the thickness direction Dt.

[0043] 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.

[0044] As shown in Figures 4 and 8, 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.

[0045] 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 18d at the lower end of the leg body 13 in which the second wiring accommodation groove 18B (wiring accommodation space S2) opens downward (see Figure 5).

[0046] (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.

[0047] (Bottom plate) As shown in Figures 4 to 6, the bottom plate 40 is provided along at least a portion of the outer peripheral edge of the lower surface of the screen body 13. In this embodiment, the bottom plate 40 is provided so as to cover the entire lower surfaces of the screen body 13, the first surface material 15A, and the second surface material 15B from below. In this embodiment, the bottom plate 40 is provided so as to cover the lower end surface of the screen body 13 and the lower end openings 18d of the first wiring accommodating groove 18A and the second wiring accommodating 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 screen body 13 and the lower end openings 18d of the first wiring accommodating groove 18A and the second wiring accommodating groove 18B from below. As shown in Figure 3, in this embodiment, the cover members 20A and 20B are provided above the bottom plate 40. That is, the lower end edges of the cover body parts 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.

[0048] Figure 10 is a cross-sectional view of the support leg 10 as seen from the extension direction L, and is a cross-sectional view taken along the XX arrow in Figure 4. 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, 5, 7, 8, and 10, in this embodiment, the bottom plate 40 has outer edges 40a, 40b, 40c, and 40d. When viewed from above, the outer edges 40a, 40b, 40c, and 40d extend to complement the outer peripheral edge of the lower end of the main body 13 with the first surface material 15A, second surface material 15B, and cover members 20A and 20B attached. In other words, the bottom plate 40 is provided spanning the lower surface of the main body 13 and the lower surfaces of the first surface material 15A and the second surface material 15B. When viewed from above, the outer edge 40a protrudes to one side in the thickness direction Dt relative to the first metal surface material 15A. The outer edge 40b protrudes to one side in the extension direction L relative to the metal cover member 20A. The outer edge 40c protrudes to one side in the extension direction L relative to the metal cover member 20B. Here, the outer edges 40a, 40b, and 40c protrude by, for example, about 1 mm to 5 mm relative to the first surface material 15A and the cover members 20A and 20B. Furthermore, as shown in Figures 4, 6, and 10, the outer edge 40d of the bottom plate 40 protrudes from the second surface material 15B made of melamine resin to the other side in the thickness direction Dt when viewed from above. Here, it is preferable that the amount by which the outer edge 40d protrudes from the second surface material 15B to the other side in the thickness direction Dt is greater than the amount by which the outer edges 40a, 40b, and 40c protrude from the first surface material 15A and cover members 20A and 20B, which are made of metal. By increasing the protrusion dimension of the bottom plate 40 on the side of the second surface material 15B made of melamine resin, which has lower rigidity than the first surface material 15A made of metal, damage to the second surface material 15B can be more effectively suppressed. The amount by which the outer edge 40d protrudes from the second surface material 15B to the other side in the thickness direction Dt is, for example, about 1 mm to 5 mm. 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.

[0049] Figure 11 is a perspective view showing the bottom plate 40 and adjuster 50 of the support leg 10. As shown in Figures 4, 5, 7, 8, and 11, the bottom plate 40 is provided with female threaded portions 48 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. Furthermore, as shown in Figure 11, in this embodiment, the bottom plate 40 is provided with female threaded portions 48 at multiple locations spaced apart along the extending direction L, in addition to 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 threaded portions 48 are nuts welded to the upper surface of the bottom plate 40. The female threaded portions 48 may also be female threaded holes that penetrate the bottom plate 40 vertically.

[0050] As shown in Figures 3, 5, and 11, the support legs 10 are further equipped with multiple adjusters (grounding members) 50 to adjust the level according to the unevenness of the floor surface F. The multiple adjusters 50 support the leg body 13 and the bottom plate 40 from below, spaced apart from the floor surface F. As shown in Figures 4, 5, 7, 8, and 11, 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. Each of the multiple adjusters 50 is attached to the bottom plate 40 by screwing the screw shaft portion 52 into the female screw portion 48.

[0051] As shown in Figures 7 and 8, 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, with the adjuster 50 positioned to overlap the first wiring groove 18A and the second wiring groove 18B when viewed from above, the tool engaged with the hexagonal hole 52f can be easily rotated over a wide angular 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 and second wiring grooves 18A and 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 support legs 10 provided on the floor surface F to support the top plate 2 from below. The support legs 10 are configured to include a panel-shaped base body 13 erected on the floor surface F along the vertical direction Dv, a bottom plate 40 made of a material having higher rigidity than the base body 13 and provided along at least a portion of the outer peripheral edge of the lower surface of the base body 13, and adjusters 50 installed on the floor surface F to support the base body 13 and the bottom plate 40 from below while spaced apart from the floor surface F. In this configuration, a bottom plate 40 made of a material with higher rigidity than the bottom plate 13 is provided along at least a portion of the outer periphery of the lower surface of the bottom plate 13. Therefore, if the lower limbs of an office worker, a chair, a cart, etc., collide with the bottom plate 40 while it is separated from the floor surface F by the adjuster 50, damage to the bottom plate 13 can be suppressed. Thus, damage to the support legs 10 can be suppressed and the appearance can be kept from being compromised.

[0054] In this embodiment, the bottom plate 40 is configured to cover the entire lower surface of the script body 13 from below. With this configuration, the bottom plate 40, which is made of a material having higher rigidity than the leg body 13, can reinforce the leg body 13 by covering the entire lower surface of the leg body 13 from below, thereby increasing the rigidity of the support legs 10. Furthermore, if the bottom plate 40 is provided with a female screw portion 48, since the bottom plate 40 is provided so as to cover the entire lower surface of the leg body 13 from below, the degree of freedom in the layout of the female screw portion 48, i.e., the adjuster 50, can be increased.

[0055] In this embodiment, the outer edge 40d of the bottom plate 40 is configured to protrude outward in the horizontal direction from the outer peripheral edge of the lower surface of the screen body 13. With this configuration, the outer edge 40d of the bottom plate 40 extends outward horizontally from the outer peripheral edge of the lower surface of the leg body 13, making it less likely for the worker's lower limbs, chair, wagon, etc., to collide with the lower end of the leg body 13. As a result, damage to the support legs 10 can be suppressed more effectively. In particular, the furniture with a top plate 1 in this embodiment is equipped with adjusters 50 as grounding members, which creates a vertical gap between the floor surface F and the leg body 13. For example, chair casters may interfere with the lower surface of the leg body 13 through this gap, but by providing the bottom plate 40, damage to the leg body 13 due to interference from chair casters, etc., can be suppressed.

[0056] In this embodiment, the support leg 10 includes a first surface material 15A and a second surface material 15B that are provided to cover at least a portion of the outer surface of the leg body 13. In this embodiment, the bottom plate 40 is made of a material having higher rigidity than the second surface material 15B, which is made of melamine resin, and the bottom plate 40 is provided spanning the lower surface of the leg body 13 and the lower surfaces of the first surface material 15A and the second surface material 15B, and is provided along at least a portion of the outer peripheral edges of the lower surfaces of the first surface material 15A and the second surface material 15B. According to this embodiment, the bottom plate 40 is provided spanning the lower surface of the screen body 13 and the lower surfaces of the first surface material 15A and the second surface material 15B, and further provided along at least a portion of the outer peripheral edges of the lower surfaces of the first surface material 15A and the second surface material 15B, thereby protecting the lower surfaces of the first surface material 15A and the second surface material 15B and suppressing damage to the first surface material 15A and the second surface material 15B.

[0057] In this embodiment, the screen body 13 is formed in a panel shape. The screen body 13 has a frame portion 131 and a plate material 132 that covers the frame portion 131 and forms the outer surface of the screen body 13, and the bottom plate 40 is made of a material that has higher rigidity than the frame portion 131 and the plate material 132. With this configuration, the bottom plate 40 is made of a material that has higher rigidity than the frame portion 131 and plate material 132 that make up the panel-shaped screen body 13. Therefore, even if the lower limbs of an employee, chair, wagon, etc. collide with the bottom plate 40, damage to the frame portion 131 and plate material 132 can be suppressed.

[0058] In this embodiment, 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, and the bottom plate 40 is provided with a female screw portion 48 into which the screw shaft portion 52 is screwed. With this configuration, the screw shaft portion 52 of the adjuster 50 is screwed into the female screw portion 48 provided on the bottom plate 40, so that the adjuster 50 is firmly connected to the bottom plate 40 even if the leg body 13 is made of, for example, wood.

[0059] In this embodiment, the screen body 13 has a first wiring groove 18A and a second wiring groove 18B that extend in the vertical direction Dv and open horizontally, and the screen body 13 has a first wiring groove 18A and a second wiring groove 18B that open downward at the lower end, and the female screw portion 48 is provided in a position that overlaps with the first wiring groove 18A and the second wiring groove 18B when viewed from above. With this configuration, the base body 13 is provided with a first wiring groove 18A and a second wiring groove 18B, allowing wiring for electronic devices used on the work surface 2f of the top plate 2 to be housed in the first wiring groove 18A and the second wiring groove 18B. Furthermore, the female screw portion 48 into which the screw shaft portion 52 of the adjuster 50 is screwed is positioned to overlap with the first wiring groove 18A and the second wiring groove 18B when viewed from above, so the screw shaft portion 52 can be rotated within the first wiring groove 18A and the second wiring groove 18B from above the bottom plate 40. Therefore, the height of the adjuster 50 can be easily adjusted.

[0060] In this embodiment, the support leg 10 is detachably attached to the leg body 13 and further comprises cover members 20A and 20B that cover the first wiring groove 18A and the second wiring groove 18B. With this configuration, by attaching the cover members 20A and 20B to the main body 13, the first wiring groove 18A and the second wiring groove 18B can be covered, preventing the wiring housed in the first wiring groove 18A and the second wiring groove 18B from being exposed to the outside, and thus improving the appearance.

[0061] (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, the support leg 10 is J-shaped when viewed from above, but it is not limited to this. Figure 12 is a plan view showing the support legs 10B of a tabletop-equipped fixture 1 according to a modified embodiment of the present invention. For example, as shown in Figure 12, the support leg 10B may be I-shaped when viewed from above. Figure 13 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 13, 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 bottom plate 40 is provided so as to cover the entire lower surface of the screen body 13 from below, but the bottom plate 40 only needs to be provided along at least a portion of the outer peripheral edge of the lower surface of the screen body 13. Furthermore, if the bottom plate 40 is provided along the outer peripheral edge of the lower surface of the screen body 13, the screw shaft portion 52 of the adjuster 50 may be attached to the lower surface of the screen body 13.

[0064] In the embodiment described above, the screen body 13 is in the shape of a panel, but it is not limited to this. The screen body 13 may be, for example, a rectangular prism (box shape), a cylindrical shape, etc., extending in the vertical direction Dv. In that case as well, the same effects and advantages as in the embodiment described above can be obtained by providing a bottom plate 40 on the lower surface of the screen body 13.

[0065] In the embodiment described above, the outer edges 40a, 40b, 40c, and 40d of the bottom plate 40 are configured to extend outward in the horizontal direction from the outer peripheral edge of the screen body 13 with the first surface material 15A, second surface material 15B, and cover members 20A and 20B attached, but the embodiment is not limited to this. The outer edge of the entire circumference of the bottom plate 40 may be configured to overlap with the outer peripheral edge of the screen body 13 with the first surface material 15A, second surface material 15B, and cover members 20A and 20B attached (so that it is flush with the outer surface of the screen body 13 in a plan view).

[0066] In the embodiment described above, a metal plate was used for the first surface material 15A and a melamine resin plate was used for the second surface material 15B. However, if, for example, the first surface material 15A and the second surface material 15B are made of the same material, the overhang dimension of the bottom plate 40 on the first surface material 15A side, which faces inward from the top-mounted furniture 1 and is relatively prone to interference from the user's lower limbs or chair, can be made larger than that on the second surface material 15B side. This can more effectively suppress damage to the first surface material 15A and the leg body 13. On the other hand, the overhang dimension of the bottom plate 40 on the second surface material 15B side, which faces outward from the top-mounted furniture 1 and is relatively exposed to the outside, can be made smaller than that on the first surface material 15A side to improve the appearance.

[0067] In the embodiment described above, the cover members 20A and 20B that cover the first wiring groove 18A and the second wiring groove 18B are configured to cover the entire first end 13a and second end 13b of the screen body 13 when viewed from the extending direction L, but the embodiment is not limited to this. The first wiring groove 18A and the second wiring groove 18B may be located in parts other than the first end 13a and second end 13b of the screen body 13, and the cover members 20A and 20B are attached to the screen body 13 in the parts where the first end 13a and second end 13b are provided.

[0068] 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 and 20B at both ends in the extending direction L of the leg body 13, but is not limited to this. The shape and configuration of the first wiring groove 18A, the second wiring groove 18B, and the cover members 20A and 20B can be changed as appropriate. Furthermore, the first wiring groove 18A, the second wiring groove 18B, and the cover members 20A and 20B may be provided only at one end of the extension direction L of the screen body 13. Moreover, the configuration may be one in which the first wiring groove 18A, the second wiring groove 18B, and the cover members 20A and 20B are not provided.

[0069] In the embodiment described above, an upper plate 30 is provided, but the upper plate 30 may be omitted as appropriate.

[0070] In the embodiment described above, an adjuster 50 is provided as the grounding member, but instead of the adjuster 50, a caster may be provided as the grounding member.

[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, or the first surface material 15A and the second surface material 15B may be omitted.

[0072] 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.
