Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] In the top plate as disclosed in Patent Document 1, the depth from the front edge to the rear edge of the top plate varies greatly depending on the position in the direction along the front edge. For this reason, a very narrow area of the working surface occurs on the top plate surface, and the usability of the top plate may deteriorate.

[0005] The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to suppress the occurrence of a narrow area on the top plate surface in a furniture with a top plate and improve the usability of the top plate.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0006] As means for solving the above problems, the present invention adopts the following configuration.

[0007] A first aspect of the present invention is a fixture with a top plate, comprising a front panel unit located on the front side when viewed from a work position where an operator performs work, and a top plate located between the work position and the front panel unit, wherein the front panel unit has a front panel having a front facing side that faces the work position, and a sub-panel having an inclined surface that extends at an angle intersecting the front facing side when viewed from above, and the front edge of the top plate, which is the edge on the work position side, has a front facing opposing portion that is positioned opposite to the front facing side, and an inclined surface opposing portion that is positioned opposite to the inclined surface, wherein the front facing opposing portion has a front facing opposing straight portion that extends along the front facing side when viewed from above, and the inclined surface opposing portion has an inclined surface opposing straight portion that extends along the inclined surface when viewed from above.

[0008] According to this first aspect of the present invention, the front panel unit has a front panel and a sub-panel with different angles. Furthermore, the front edge of the top plate has a front-facing section having a front-facing opposing straight section that is aligned with the front-facing side, and an inclined surface-facing section having an inclined surface-facing straight section that is aligned with the inclined surface. Therefore, the distance from the front-facing opposing straight section to the front-facing side does not change significantly depending on the position of the front-facing section. Similarly, the distance from the inclined surface-facing straight section to the inclined surface does not change significantly depending on the position of the inclined surface-facing section. Therefore, according to this first aspect of the present invention, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of narrow areas on the top plate surface and improve the usability of the top plate.

[0009] Furthermore, a second aspect of the present invention adopts a configuration in which, in the first aspect, the rear edge of the top plate, which is the edge on the front panel unit side, has a recess in part that, when viewed from above, is recessed toward the front edge.

[0010] According to this second aspect of the present invention, wiring and the like can be inserted from the top to the bottom of the top plate through the recess. This prevents wiring and the like from being located on the top plate surface, and allows for a wider workspace on the top plate surface.

[0011] Furthermore, a third aspect of the present invention adopts a configuration in which, in the first or second aspect described above, a fixing member is provided to fix the top plate and the front panel unit.

[0012] According to this third aspect of the present invention, the top plate and the front panel unit are fixed together. Therefore, changes in the positional relationship between the top plate and the front panel unit can be suppressed. Consequently, even if an external force is applied to the top plate or the front panel unit, it is possible to prevent the top plate from moving relative to the front panel unit.

[0013] Furthermore, a fourth aspect of the present invention adopts a configuration in which, in the third aspect described above, the fixing member is equipped with a wiring duct capable of accommodating wiring.

[0014] According to this fourth aspect of the present invention, it is possible to house the wiring within the fixed member. Therefore, compared to the case where the wiring duct is provided separately from the fixed member, the structure of the fixture with a top plate can be simplified, and the fixture with a top plate can be made smaller and lighter.

[0015] Furthermore, a fifth aspect of the present invention adopts a configuration in which, in any of the first to fourth aspects described above, the width dimension of the facing portion in the horizontal direction along the facing surface matches the width dimension of the facing surface in the horizontal direction.

[0016] According to this fifth aspect of the present invention, compared to the case where the width dimension of the directly facing portion is smaller than the width dimension of the directly facing portion, a wider opening to the workspace (top surface) can be secured when working while facing the object directly. Therefore, the workability when working while facing the object directly can be improved.

[0017] Furthermore, a sixth aspect of the present invention adopts a configuration in which, in any of the first to fifth embodiments, the width dimension of the portion facing the inclined surface in the horizontal direction along the inclined surface coincides with the width dimension of the inclined surface in the horizontal direction.

[0018] According to the sixth aspect of the present invention as described above, when working in a state facing the inclined surface, a wider frontage can be secured for the working space (ceiling surface) compared to the case where the width dimension of the inclined surface facing portion is smaller than the width dimension of the inclined surface. Therefore, the workability when working in a state facing the inclined surface can be improved.

[0019] Further, the seventh aspect of the present invention adopts a configuration in any one of the first to sixth aspects described above, in which the front face facing portion has an end portion curved so as to connect the front face facing straight portion and the inclined surface facing portion.

[0020] According to the seventh aspect of the present invention as described above, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of a bent portion at the connection portion between the front face facing portion and the inclined surface facing portion. Therefore, it is possible to prevent an operator from touching the bent portion and feeling discomfort, and improve the comfort when using the ceiling fixture.

[0021] Further, the eighth aspect of the present invention adopts a configuration in any one of the first to seventh aspects described above, in which the inclined surface facing portion has an end portion curved so as to connect the inclined surface facing straight portion and the front face facing portion.

[0022] According to the eighth aspect of the present invention as described above, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of a bent portion at the connection portion between the front face facing portion and the inclined surface facing portion. Therefore, it is possible to prevent an operator from touching the bent portion and feeling discomfort, and improve the comfort when using the ceiling fixture.

Effect of the Invention

[0023] According to the present invention, in the ceiling fixture, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of a narrow region on the ceiling surface and improve the usability of the ceiling. <​​​​​​​​ [Figure 2] It is a plan view of a booth in one embodiment of the present invention.

Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0025] Hereinafter, an embodiment of a top plate accessory according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to only this embodiment. In the embodiments (and modified examples) described below, corresponding configurations may be denoted by the same reference numerals and the description thereof may be omitted. In the following description, expressions indicating relative or absolute arrangements such as "parallel", "orthogonal", "center", "coaxial", etc. not only strictly represent such arrangements, but also represent states in which they are relatively displaced with tolerances and angles and distances that can obtain the same functions.

[0026] Figure 1 is a perspective view of booth 1 (a fixture with a top) of this embodiment, seen from diagonally above. Figure 2 is a plan view of booth 1 of this embodiment. Figure 3 is a cross-sectional view of AA in Figure 2. Booth 1 of this embodiment is a fixture that can be installed, for example, on the floor surface F of a space provided within a building, and can provide workers with a space where they can concentrate on their work. Booth 1 of this embodiment can be used as a single unit. In addition, multiple booths 1 of this embodiment can be connected and used together. However, in this embodiment, an example of using booth 1 of this embodiment as a single unit will be described.

[0027] As shown in Figures 1 to 3, the booth 1 of this embodiment comprises a booth body 2, a desk 3, a display support member 4, a desktop tap unit 5, a wiring duct 6, and a box 7. For the convenience of explanation, in the following description, the XYZ coordinate system is set as a three-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system as shown in Figures 1 to 3. In the XYZ coordinate system, the Z-axis direction is the vertical direction. The vertical direction is perpendicular to the floor surface F on which the booth 1 is placed. The X-axis direction is perpendicular to the Z-axis direction and is the left-right direction of the booth 1, with the +X side being the right side of the booth 1 and the -X side being the left side of the booth 1. The Y-axis direction is perpendicular to the X-axis and Z-axis directions and is the front-back direction of the booth 1. The +Y side is the rear side of the booth 1 and the -Y side is the front side of the booth 1. Note that the front, rear, left, and right sides are merely names to describe the relative positional relationship of each part, and the actual arrangement may be other arrangements than those indicated by these names.

[0028] The booth body 2 is made up of multiple connected panel bodies arranged to surround the work position R, as shown in Figure 2, for example. In the following description, the +Y side is referred to as the front side and the -Y side as the back side when viewed from the work position R. The X-axis direction is referred to as the side when viewed from the work position R.

[0029] Figure 4 is a plan view showing the booth body 2 and the desk 3. As shown in this figure, the booth body 2 comprises a front panel unit 10, side panels 11, and a rear unit 12.

[0030] The front panel unit 10 is formed by connecting multiple panel bodies and is located on the front side of the work position R, as shown in Figure 2, for example. In this embodiment, the front panel unit 10 comprises one front panel 10a and two sub-panels (right sub-panel 10b and left sub-panel 10c) as panel bodies erected on the floor surface F. In other words, in this embodiment, the front panel unit 10 is formed by connecting three panel bodies erected on the floor surface F.

[0031] The facing panel 10a is a panel that faces directly toward the work position R. In this embodiment, facing directly toward the work position R means that it is positioned opposite the work position R from the rear side, and that it is located in front of the worker performing work at the work position R.

[0032] Such a facing panel 10a has a facing surface 10a1 that faces directly with respect to the working position R. The facing surface 10a1 forms part of the inner wall surface of the booth body 2. In this embodiment, the facing surface 10a1 is perpendicular to the Y axis and parallel to the X axis direction.

[0033] This facing side 10a1 is the surface on which the display D, which is positioned between the facing panel 10a and the work position R, is positioned opposite. In other words, in this embodiment, the display D, which is positioned between the facing panel 10a and the work position R, is positioned with its display surface facing forward and its back surface facing backward, as shown in Figure 2.

[0034] The two sub-panels (right sub-panel 10b and left sub-panel 10c) are panel bodies having inclined surfaces (right inclined surface 10b1 and left inclined surface 10c1) that extend at an angle that intersects with the front-facing panel 10a1 when viewed from above.

[0035] The right-side sub-panel 10b, one of the two sub-panels, is positioned to the right of the facing panel 10a, with its left end connected to the right end of the facing panel 10a. The right-side sub-panel 10b has a right-side inclined surface 10b1 (the inclined surface described above). The right-side inclined surface 10b1 forms part of the inner wall surface of the booth body 2, with its left end connected to the right end of the facing panel 10a1. In this embodiment, the right-side inclined surface 10b1 is inclined with respect to the Y-axis so that it faces left when viewed from above.

[0036] This right-side inclined surface 10b1 is the surface on which the display D, which is positioned between the right-side sub-panel 10b and the work position R, is positioned opposite. In other words, in this embodiment, the display D, which is positioned between the right-side sub-panel 10b and the work position R, is positioned so that, as shown in Figure 2, the display surface faces the front left when viewed from above, and the back surface faces the rear right.

[0037] The left sub-panel 10c, one of the two sub-panels, is positioned to the left of the facing panel 10a, with its right end connected to the left end of the facing panel 10a. The left sub-panel 10c has a left inclined surface 10c1 (the inclined surface described above). The left inclined surface 10c1 forms part of the inner wall surface of the booth body 2, with its right end connected to the left end of the facing panel 10a1. In this embodiment, the left inclined surface 10c1 is inclined with respect to the Y-axis so that it faces to the right when viewed from above.

[0038] This left-side inclined surface 10c1 is the surface on which the display D, which is positioned between the left-side sub-panel 10c and the work position R, is positioned opposite. In other words, in this embodiment, the display D, which is positioned between the left-side sub-panel 10c and the work position R, is positioned so that, as shown in Figure 2, the display surface faces the front right when viewed from above, and the back surface faces the rear left.

[0039] Furthermore, the horizontal width dimension of each sub-panel (right sub-panel 10b and left sub-panel 10c) along its inclined surface (right inclined surface 10b1 and left inclined surface 10c1) is less than or equal to the horizontal width dimension of the facing panel 10a along its facing surface 10a1.

[0040] In other words, as shown in Figure 4, the width dimension D2 of the right sub-panel 10b in the horizontal direction along the right inclined surface 10b1 is less than or equal to the width dimension D1 of the front panel 10a in the horizontal direction along the front surface 10a1. In this embodiment, the width dimension D2 of the right sub-panel 10b is approximately the same as the width dimension D1 of the front panel 10a, but it may be smaller than the width dimension D1 of the front panel 10a.

[0041] Furthermore, the horizontal width dimension D3 of the left sub-panel 10c along the left inclined surface 10c1 is less than or equal to the width dimension D1 of the facing panel 10a. In this embodiment, the width dimension D3 of the left sub-panel 10c is approximately the same as the width dimension D1 of the facing panel 10a, but it may be smaller than the width dimension D1 of the facing panel 10a.

[0042] The side panels 11 are panel bodies located on the side when viewed from the work position R, and are installed on both the left and right sides of the work position R. In other words, in this embodiment, two side panels 11 are provided. Each side panel 11 consists of a panel body erected on the floor surface F.

[0043] The side panel 11 located to the right of the work position R is positioned so that its inner wall surface faces to the left. The inner wall surface of this side panel 11 located to the right of the work position R forms part of the inner wall surface of the booth body 2. The rear end of the side panel 11 located to the right of the work position R is connected to the right end of the right sub-panel 10b, and the front end is connected to the right privacy panel 12b of the rear unit 12, which will be described later. The rear end of the side panel 11 located to the right of the work position R may be spaced apart from the right end of the right sub-panel 10b. The front end of the side panel 11 located to the right of the work position R may also be spaced apart from the right privacy panel 12b.

[0044] The side panel 11 located to the left of the work position R is positioned so that its inner wall surface faces to the right. The inner wall surface of this side panel 11 located to the left of the work position R forms part of the inner wall surface of the booth body 2. The rear end of the side panel 11 located to the left of the work position R is connected to the left end of the left sub-panel 10c, and the front end is connected to the left privacy panel 12c of the rear unit 12, which will be described later. The rear end of the side panel 11 located to the left of the work position R may be spaced apart from the left end of the left sub-panel 10c. The front end of the side panel 11 located to the left of the work position R may also be spaced apart from the left privacy panel 12c.

[0045] The rear unit 12 has an entrance / exit opening 12a and is located on the rear side when viewed from the working position R. In this embodiment, the rear unit 12 is a panel body erected on the floor surface F and includes two privacy panels (right privacy panel 12b and left privacy panel 12c).

[0046] The entrance / exit opening 12a is an opening used as an entrance for workers to enter the booth 1 of this embodiment from the outside. It is also used as an exit for workers to exit the booth 1 of this embodiment.

[0047] Such an entrance / exit opening 12a is positioned with the work position R in between the front-facing side 10a1. Therefore, when an outsider looks into the booth 1 from outside the entrance / exit opening 12a, the display D located between the front-facing side 10a1 and the work position R is obscured by the worker's body and is difficult for the outsider to see.

[0048] The two privacy panels (right privacy panel 12b and left privacy panel 12c) are located behind the work position R and conceal one of the inclined surfaces (right inclined surface 10b1 and left inclined surface 10c1) when viewed from the opposite side of the work position R of the rear unit 12.

[0049] One of the two privacy panels, the right-side privacy panel 12b, is positioned to the right of the entrance / exit opening 12a, with its right end connected to the side panel 11. The right-side privacy panel 12b is positioned so as to be inclined with respect to the Y-axis when viewed from above, and is positioned opposite the left-side inclined surface 10c1 with the work position R in between. In this embodiment, the inner wall surface of such a right-side privacy panel 12b is inclined with respect to the Y-axis so as to face left, and is parallel to the left-side inclined surface 10c1.

[0050] The right-side privacy panel 12b conceals the left-side sloping surface 10c1 from external parties located outside the outer wall surface. Therefore, the right-side privacy panel 12b hides the display D, located between the left-side sloping surface 10c1 and the work position R, from external parties. This right-side privacy panel 12b prevents the display D, located between the left-side sloping surface 10c1 and the work position R, from being visible to external parties outside Booth 1.

[0051] One of the two privacy panels, the left privacy panel 12c, is positioned to the left of the entrance / exit opening 12a, with its left end connected to the side panel 11. The left privacy panel 12c is positioned so as to be inclined with respect to the Y-axis when viewed from above, and is positioned opposite the right inclined surface 10b1 with the work position R in between. In this embodiment, the inner wall surface of such a left privacy panel 12c is inclined with respect to the Y-axis to face to the right and is parallel to the right inclined surface 10b1.

[0052] The left-side privacy panel 12c conceals the right-side sloping surface 10b1 from external parties located outside the outer wall surface. Therefore, the left-side privacy panel 12c hides the display D, located between the right-side sloping surface 10b1 and the work position R, from external parties. This left-side privacy panel 12c prevents the display D, located between the right-side sloping surface 10b1 and the work position R, from being visible to external parties outside Booth 1.

[0053] Thus, the rear unit 12 has a left-side concealing panel 12c that conceals the right-side sub-panel 10b, and a right-side concealing panel 12b that conceals the left-side sub-panel 10c. In other words, the rear unit 12 has a concealing panel for each sub-panel.

[0054] The desk 3 is housed inside the booth body 2 and provides a work surface for the worker performing tasks at the work position R. For example, as shown in Figure 3, the desk 3 comprises a tabletop 3a and legs 3b.

[0055] The tabletop 3a is located between the work position R and the front panel unit 10 and is supported from below by the legs 3b. The tabletop 3a is positioned above the floor surface F, creating a space between it and the floor surface F. The tabletop 3a is positioned with one side facing upwards and the other side facing downwards. The top surface of this tabletop 3a can be used as a work surface.

[0056] As shown in Figure 4, for example, the top plate 3a is formed in a shape having a front edge 3c, a rear edge 3d, and a side edge 3e. The front edge 3c is the edge of the top plate 3a on the side of the working position R. In other words, the front edge 3c is the front edge of the top plate 3a. As shown in Figure 4, the front edge 3c has one directly facing portion 3f and two inclined facing portions (right inclined facing portion 3g and left inclined facing portion 3h).

[0057] The front-facing opposing portion 3f is a portion positioned opposite the front-facing surface 10a1. As shown in Figure 4, the front-facing opposing portion 3f is positioned between the right-side inclined surface opposing portion 3g and the left-side inclined surface opposing portion 3h. This front-facing opposing portion 3f has a front-facing opposing linear portion 3f1 that extends linearly along the front-facing surface 10a1.

[0058] The opposing straight section 3f1 does not need to be parallel to the opposing surface 10a1, as long as it extends along the opposing surface 10a1. In other words, the opposing straight section 3f1 may be slightly inclined with respect to the opposing surface 10a1 when viewed from above. However, in this embodiment, when viewed from above, the opposing straight section 3f1 extends parallel to the opposing surface 10a1.

[0059] Furthermore, the directly facing opposing section 3f has two ends 3f2 positioned so as to sandwich the directly facing opposing straight section 3f1 between them. Each end 3f2 is curved when viewed from above, as shown in Figure 4, for example. Each end 3f2 is curved so as it moves away from the directly facing opposing straight section 3f1, it moves away from the directly facing section 10a1. In addition, each end 3f2 is smoothly connected to the directly facing opposing straight section 3f1 without forming a bend.

[0060] The right end 3f2 of the front-facing opposing section 3f is connected to the right-side inclined opposing section 3g. More specifically, the right end 3f2 of the front-facing opposing section 3f is smoothly connected to the end 3g2 of the right-side inclined opposing section 3g (described later) without forming a bend.

[0061] Furthermore, the left end 3f2 of the front-facing opposing section 3f is connected to the left-side inclined opposing section 3h. More specifically, the left end 3f2 of the front-facing opposing section 3f is smoothly connected to the end 3h2 of the left-side inclined opposing section 3h without forming a bend.

[0062] Thus, the front-facing opposing section 3f has a curved end portion 3f2 that connects the front-facing opposing straight section 3f1 with one of the inclined surface opposing sections (right-side inclined surface opposing section 3g and left-side inclined surface opposing section 3h).

[0063] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the horizontal width dimension Da of the facing section 3f along the facing surface 10a1 coincides with the width dimension D1 of the facing surface 10a1 (the width dimension D1 of the facing panel 10a). Because the width dimension Da of the facing section 3f and the width dimension D1 of the facing surface 10a1 coincide in this way, the workspace Sa on the top surface between the facing section 3f and the facing surface 10a1 becomes rectangular when viewed from above. Therefore, a wide opening is secured for this workspace Sa.

[0064] The right-side inclined surface opposing portion 3g is a portion positioned opposite the right-side inclined surface 10b1. As shown in Figure 4, the right-side inclined surface opposing portion 3g is positioned to the right of the front-facing opposing portion 3f. This right-side inclined surface opposing portion 3g has a right-side inclined surface opposing straight portion 3g1 that extends linearly along the right-side inclined surface 10b1. The distance from the right-side inclined surface opposing straight portion 3g1 to the right-side inclined surface 10b1 is set to be the same as, for example, the distance from the front-facing opposing straight portion 3f1 to the front-facing surface 10a1.

[0065] The straight section 3g1 opposite the right-side inclined surface does not need to be parallel to the right-side inclined surface 10b1, as long as it extends along the right-side inclined surface 10b1. In other words, the straight section 3g1 opposite the right-side inclined surface may be slightly inclined with respect to the right-side inclined surface 10b1 when viewed from above. However, in this embodiment, the straight section 3g1 opposite the right-side inclined surface extends parallel to the right-side inclined surface 10b1 when viewed from above.

[0066] Furthermore, the right-side inclined surface opposing portion 3g has two ends 3g2 positioned so as to sandwich the right-side inclined surface opposing straight portion 3g1 between them. Each end 3g2 is curved when viewed from above, as shown in Figure 4, for example. Each end 3g2 is curved away from the right-side inclined surface 10b1 as it moves away from the right-side inclined surface opposing straight portion 3g1. In addition, each end 3g2 is smoothly connected to the right-side inclined surface opposing straight portion 3g1 without forming a bend.

[0067] The right end 3g2 of the right-side inclined surface opposing section 3g is smoothly connected to the side edge 3e without forming a bend. Furthermore, the left end 3g2 of the right-side inclined surface opposing section 3g is connected to the front-facing opposing section 3f. More specifically, the left end 3g2 of the right-side inclined surface opposing section 3g is smoothly connected to the end 3f2 of the front-facing opposing section 3f without forming a bend.

[0068] Thus, the right-side inclined surface opposing portion 3g has a curved end portion 3g2 that connects the right-side inclined surface opposing straight portion 3g1 with the front-facing opposing portion 3f or the side edge 3e.

[0069] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the width dimension Db of the right-side inclined surface opposing portion 3g along the right-side inclined surface 10b1 in the horizontal direction coincides with the width dimension D2 of the right-side inclined surface 10b1 (the width dimension D2 of the right-side sub-panel 10b). Because the width dimension Db of the right-side inclined surface opposing portion 3g and the width dimension D2 of the right-side inclined surface 10b1 coincide in this way, the workspace Sb on the top surface between the right-side inclined surface opposing portion 3g and the right-side inclined surface 10b1 takes on a parallelogram shape when viewed from above. Therefore, a wide opening is secured for this workspace Sb.

[0070] The left-side inclined surface opposing portion 3h is a portion positioned opposite the left-side inclined surface 10c1. As shown in Figure 4, the left-side inclined surface opposing portion 3h is positioned to the left of the front-facing opposing portion 3f. This left-side inclined surface opposing portion 3h has a left-side inclined surface opposing straight portion 3h1 that extends linearly along the left-side inclined surface 10c1. The distance from the left-side inclined surface opposing straight portion 3h1 to the left-side inclined surface 10c1 is set to be the same as, for example, the distance from the front-facing opposing straight portion 3f1 to the front-facing surface 10a1.

[0071] The straight section 3h1 opposite the left inclined surface does not need to be parallel to the left inclined surface 10c1, as long as it extends along the left inclined surface 10c1. In other words, the straight section 3h1 opposite the left inclined surface may be slightly inclined with respect to the left inclined surface 10c1 when viewed from above. However, in this embodiment, the straight section 3h1 opposite the left inclined surface extends parallel to the left inclined surface 10c1 when viewed from above.

[0072] Furthermore, the left-side inclined surface opposing section 3h has two ends 3h2 positioned so as to sandwich the left-side inclined surface opposing straight section 3h1. Each end 3h2 is curved when viewed from above, as shown in Figure 4, for example. Each end 3h2 is curved away from the left-side inclined surface 10c1 as it moves away from the left-side inclined surface opposing straight section 3h1. In addition, each end 3h2 is smoothly connected to the left-side inclined surface opposing straight section 3h1 without forming a bend.

[0073] The left end 3h2 of the left-side inclined surface opposing section 3h is smoothly connected to the side edge 3e without forming a bend. Furthermore, the right end 3h2 of the left-side inclined surface opposing section 3h is connected to the front-facing opposing section 3f. More specifically, the right end 3h2 of the left-side inclined surface opposing section 3h is smoothly connected to the end 3f2 of the front-facing opposing section 3f without forming a bend.

[0074] Thus, the left-side inclined surface opposing portion 3h has a curved end portion 3h2 that connects the left-side inclined surface opposing straight portion 3h1 with the front-facing opposing portion 3f or the side edge 3e.

[0075] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the horizontal width dimension Dc of the left inclined surface opposing section 3h along the left inclined surface 10c1 coincides with the width dimension D3 of the left inclined surface 10c1 (the width dimension D3 of the right sub-panel 10b). Because the width dimension Dc of the left inclined surface opposing section 3h and the width dimension D3 of the left inclined surface 10c1 coincide in this way, the workspace Sc on the top surface between the left inclined surface opposing section 3h and the left inclined surface 10c1 takes on a parallelogram shape when viewed from above. Therefore, a wide opening is secured for this workspace Sc.

[0076] In this configuration, at the front edge 3c of the top plate 3a, when viewed from above, the right-side inclined surface opposing part 3g moves forward as you move from the centrally located directly facing opposing part 3f to the right. Also, at the front edge 3c of the top plate 3a, when viewed from above, the left-side inclined surface opposing part 3h moves forward as you move from the centrally located directly facing opposing part 3f to the left.

[0077] Therefore, when viewed from above, the front edge 3c of the top plate is formed with a recess in the center in the left-right direction, facing the facing panel 10a. Because the front edge 3c is formed in such a way that it is recessed toward the facing panel 10a, the worker is unconsciously guided to a posture facing the facing panel 10a at the work position R.

[0078] The rear edge 3d is the edge of the top plate 3a on the side facing the front panel unit 10. In this embodiment, a portion of the rear edge 3d abuts against the inner wall surface of the front panel unit 10. Specifically, the rear edge 3d abuts against the front facing surface 10a1, the right inclined surface 10b1, and the left inclined surface 10c1. However, a gap may be provided between the rear edge 3d and the front panel unit 10.

[0079] As shown in Figure 4, the trailing edge 3d has a portion of a notch 3d1 (recess) that curves inward toward the leading edge 3c when viewed from above. In this embodiment, the notches 3d1 are provided at opposing positions on the front surface 10a1, the right-side inclined surface 10b1, and the left-side inclined surface 10c1. In other words, in this embodiment, the trailing edge 3d has three notches 3d1.

[0080] Each notch 3d1 forms a space between the top plate 3a and the front panel unit 10, allowing other components to be inserted from above to below the top plate 3a. In this embodiment, the display support member 4 and the desktop tap unit 5 are inserted from above to below the top plate 3a through the notches 3d1. Wiring (not shown) can also be inserted from above to below the top plate 3a through the notches 3d1.

[0081] In the following explanation, the notch 3d1 located in the center in the X-axis direction will be referred to as the central notch 3d2. The notch 3d1 located to the right in the X-axis direction will be referred to as the right notch 3d3. The notch 3d1 located to the left in the X-axis direction will be referred to as the left notch 3d4.

[0082] The side edges 3e are located on both the right and left sides of the top plate 3a. In other words, there are two side edges 3e on the top plate 3a. The right side edge 3e connects the right end of the front edge 3c to the right end of the rear edge 3d. The left side edge 3e connects the left end of the front edge 3c to the right end of the rear edge 3d.

[0083] In this embodiment, the side edge 3e is in contact with the inner wall surface of the side panel 11. Specifically, the side edge 3e located on the right side of the top plate 3a is in contact with the inner wall surface of the side panel 11 located to the right of the work position R. Also, the side edge 3e located on the left side of the top plate 3a is in contact with the inner wall surface of the side panel 11 located to the left of the work position R. However, a gap may be provided between the side edge 3e and the side panel 11.

[0084] The legs 3b are fixed to the underside of the top plate 3a and are erected on the floor surface F. These legs 3b support the top plate 3a from below. The top plate 3a can also be supported by the booth body 2. If the booth body 2 can support the entire weight of the top plate 3a, the legs 3b can be omitted.

[0085] Such a desk 3 provides the worker with the top surface of the tabletop 3a as a work surface. However, if a work surface is not required, the desk 3 can be omitted. For example, if the worker performs the work while standing at the work position R, the desk 3 does not need to be provided.

[0086] Figure 5 is a schematic enlarged perspective view including the display support member 4, the desktop tap unit 5, and the wiring duct 6. As shown in this figure, one display support member 4, one desktop tap unit 5, and one wiring duct 6 are provided in one of the cutouts 3d1 of the top plate 3a.

[0087] The display support member 4 is a member that supports the display D. In this embodiment, the display support member 4 supports the display D when it is positioned facing either the front surface 10a1, the right-side inclined surface 10b1, or the left-side inclined surface 10c1.

[0088] Figure 6 is a perspective view of the display support member 4. As shown in this figure, the display support member 4 comprises a base 4a, a support column 4b, and a display mounting portion 4c. In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 6, the display support member 4 has two display mounting portions 4c. However, the number of display mounting portions 4c can be changed, and there may be only one.

[0089] The base portion 4a is attached to the top plate 3a by sandwiching it from above and below. The base portion 4a is fastened to the top plate 3a by fastening members such as bolts (not shown). As shown in Figure 5, the base portion 4a is attached to the rear edge 3d of the top plate 3a at the position where the notch portion 3d1 is provided. Such a base portion 4a directly or indirectly supports the support column 4b and the display mounting portion 4c.

[0090] The support column 4b is a rod-shaped member that extends linearly upward from the base 4a. The support column 4b has a sliding groove 4b1 that allows each display mounting portion 4c to move vertically. This sliding groove 4b1 is open so as to face the front edge 3c (working position R) of the top plate 3a.

[0091] Furthermore, the support column 4b may have a structure that allows it to be divided into upper and lower sections so that its length in the vertical direction can be adjusted. For example, if the number of display mounting sections 4c is to be reduced to one, the support column 4b can be made shorter than in this embodiment.

[0092] The display mounting section 4c is the part to which the display D is attached. In this embodiment, two display mounting sections 4c are arranged vertically and supported by the support column 4b. Each display mounting section 4c includes a fixing section 4c1, a sliding base section 4c2, a joint section 4c3, and a locking mechanism 4c4.

[0093] The fixing part 4c1 is a part that is directly fixed to the back surface of the display D and is fastened to the display D using screws or the like (not shown). The sliding base part 4c2 is a part that is slidably attached to the support column 4b.

[0094] The joint portion 4c3 is a part that connects the fixed portion 4c1 and the slide base 4c2, allowing the orientation of the fixed portion 4c1 relative to the slide base 4c2 to be changed. The joint portion 4c3 allows the orientation of the display D to be adjusted.

[0095] The locking mechanism 4c4 is a mechanism that can restrict the movement of the slide base 4c2 relative to the support column 4b. For example, the locking mechanism 4c4 has an operable lever, and by changing the position of the lever, the slide base 4c2 can be switched between a movable state and a non-movable state.

[0096] In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 2, for example, three display support members 4 are provided. The central display support member 4 in the left-right direction is referred to as the central display support member 4d. The right-side display support member 4 in the left-right direction is referred to as the right-side display support member 4e. The left-side display support member 4 in the left-right direction is referred to as the left-side display support member 4f.

[0097] The central display support member 4d is provided so as to pass through the central notch 3d2, and the display D is positioned to face the front-facing side 10a1. For example, as shown in Figure 2, the display D supported by the central display support member 4d is positioned between the front-facing side 10a1 and the working position R, and its back surface is positioned parallel to the front-facing side 10a1. However, the back surface of the display D supported by the central display support member 4d may be slightly inclined with respect to the front-facing side 10a1 when viewed from above.

[0098] The right-side display support member 4e is provided so as to pass through the right-side notch 3d3, and the display D is positioned to face the right-side inclined surface 10b1. For example, as shown in Figure 2, the display D supported by the right-side display support member 4e is positioned between the right-side inclined surface 10b1 and the working position R, and is positioned so that its back surface is parallel to the right-side inclined surface 10b1. However, the back surface of the display D supported by the right-side display support member 4e may be slightly inclined with respect to the right-side inclined surface 10b1 when viewed from above.

[0099] The left-side display support member 4f is provided so as to pass through the left-side notch 3d4, and the display D is positioned to face the left-side inclined surface 10c1. For example, as shown in Figure 2, the display D supported by the left-side display support member 4f is positioned between the left-side inclined surface 10c1 and the working position R, and is positioned so that its back surface is parallel to the left-side inclined surface 10c1. However, the back surface of the display D supported by the left-side display support member 4f may be slightly inclined with respect to the left-side inclined surface 10c1 when viewed from above.

[0100] Figure 7 is a perspective view of the desktop power strip unit 5. As shown in this figure, the desktop power strip unit 5 is equipped with multiple plug insertion slots 5a for inserting power plugs for electronic devices. The number of plug insertion slots 5a can be changed and may be just one. For example, the power plug of the display D (not shown) is inserted into the plug insertion slot 5a of the desktop power strip unit 5. In addition, wiring (not shown) is connected to the desktop power strip unit 5, and power is supplied from an external power source.

[0101] Such a desktop tap unit 5 is attached to the top plate 3a by sandwiching it from above and below. The desktop tap unit 5 is fastened to the top plate 3a by fastening members such as bolts (not shown). As shown in Figure 5, the desktop tap unit 5 is attached to the rear edge 3d of the top plate 3a at the position where the notch 3d1 is provided.

[0102] The desktop tap unit 5 is provided for each of the central notch 3d2, the right notch 3d3, and the left notch 3d4. In other words, in this embodiment, three desktop tap units 5 are provided. However, the number of desktop tap units 5 installed can be changed. It is also possible to omit the desktop tap units 5.

[0103] Figure 8 is a perspective view of the wiring duct 6. The wiring duct 6 is a component capable of housing wiring, and can house a power strip T, etc., along with the wiring, as shown in Figure 5. The wiring duct 6 is located below the top plate 3a. As shown in Figure 8, the wiring duct 6 has a housing section 6a and two side sections 6b.

[0104] The storage section 6a is formed in a container shape that allows wiring, power strips T, etc., to be inserted and removed from above. In other words, the storage section 6a is formed in a shape that opens upwards. The storage section 6a is formed so that the storage space extends in a straight line. Furthermore, the storage section 6a can be fixed to the front panel unit 10 by fastening members such as screws (not shown).

[0105] The side portions 6b are provided at both ends of the housing portion 6a in the extending direction. Each side portion 6b is formed to extend upward from the end of the housing portion 6a. Each housing portion 6a has a top plate fixing piece 6b1 which is fixed to the lower surface of the top plate 3a with fastening members such as screws (not shown). Each housing portion 6a also has a panel fixing piece 6b2 which is fixed to the front panel unit 10 with fastening members such as screws (not shown).

[0106] The wiring ducts 6 are provided below the central notch 3d2, the right-side notch 3d3, and the left-side notch 3d4, as shown in Figure 5, for example. In other words, in this embodiment, three wiring ducts 6 are provided. However, the number of wiring ducts 6 can be changed. It is also possible to omit the wiring ducts 6.

[0107] Furthermore, each wiring duct 6 is fixed to the top plate 3a and the front panel unit 10. Therefore, in this embodiment, the wiring duct 6 functions as a fixing member that secures the top plate 3a and the front panel unit 10. Consequently, the top plate 3a and the front panel unit 10 are restricted from moving relative to each other by the wiring duct 6.

[0108] The wiring duct 6 located below the central notch 3d2 is fixed to the top plate 3a and the front panel 10a. The wiring duct 6 located below the right-side notch 3d3 is fixed to the top plate 3a and the right-side sub-panel 10b. The wiring duct 6 located below the left-side notch 3d4 is fixed to the top plate 3a and the left-side sub-panel 10c.

[0109] Box 7 is a component that houses, for example, a computer device connected to the display D. Box 7 is fastened to the underside of the top plate 3a by fasteners such as screws (not shown). For example, some of the wiring (not shown) connecting the computer device housed in box 7 and the display D is housed in the wiring duct 6.

[0110] When a worker performs work using booth 1 of this embodiment, which has the above configuration, they enter the inside of the booth body 2 from outside booth 1 through the entrance / exit opening 12a. The worker then moves from the entrance / exit opening 12a to the work position R and performs work either while seated in a chair (not shown) or while standing at the work position R. At this time, the worker performs work with a basic posture facing the front panel 10a, and works facing the right sub-panel 10b or left sub-panel 10c as needed.

[0111] The booth 1 of this embodiment, as described above, comprises a front panel unit 10 and a top plate 3a. The front panel unit 10 is located on the front side when viewed from the work position R where the worker performs their work. The top plate 3a is located between the work position R and the front panel unit 10. The front panel unit 10 also has a front panel 10a, a right-side sub-panel 10b, and a left-side sub-panel 10c. The front panel 10a has a front facing surface 10a1 that faces directly towards the work position R. The right-side sub-panel 10b has a right-side inclined surface 10b1 that extends at an angle that intersects with the front facing surface 10a1 when viewed from above. The left-side sub-panel 10c has a left-side inclined surface 10c1 that extends at an angle that intersects with the front facing surface 10a1 when viewed from above. The front edge 3c of the top plate 3a, which is the edge on the working position R side, has a front-facing opposing portion 3f positioned opposite the front-facing side 10a1, a right-side inclined surface opposing portion 3g positioned opposite the right-side inclined surface 10b1, and a left-side inclined surface opposing portion 3h positioned opposite the left-side inclined surface 10c1. The front-facing opposing portion 3f has a front-facing opposing straight portion 3f1 that extends along the front-facing side 10a1 when viewed from above. The right-side inclined surface opposing portion 3g has a right-side inclined surface opposing straight portion 3g1 that extends along the right-side inclined surface 10b1 when viewed from above. The left-side inclined surface opposing portion 3h has a left-side inclined surface opposing straight portion 3h1 that extends along the left-side inclined surface 10c1.

[0112] In this embodiment of Booth 1, the front panel unit 10 has a front-facing panel 10a with different angles, a right-side sub-panel 10b, and a left-side sub-panel 10c. The front edge 3c of the top plate 3a has a front-facing opposing section 3f having a front-facing opposing straight section 3f1 along the front-facing surface 10a1, a right-side inclined surface opposing section 3g having a right-side inclined surface opposing straight section 3g1 along the right-side inclined surface 10b1, and a left-side inclined surface opposing section 3h having a left-side inclined surface opposing straight section 3h1 along the left-side inclined surface 10c1. Therefore, the distance from the front-facing opposing straight section 3f1 to the front-facing surface 10a1 does not change significantly depending on the position of the front-facing opposing section 3f. Similarly, the distance from the right-side inclined surface opposing straight section 3g1 to the right-side inclined surface 10b1 does not change significantly depending on the position of the right-side inclined surface opposing section 3g. Also, the distance from the left-side inclined surface opposing straight section 3h1 to the left-side inclined surface 10c1 does not change significantly depending on the position of the left-side inclined surface opposing section 3h. Therefore, according to the booth 1 of this embodiment, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of narrow areas on the surface of the top plate 3a and improve the usability of the top plate 3a.

[0113] Furthermore, in the booth 1 of this embodiment, the rear edge 3d of the top plate 3a, which is the edge on the front panel unit 10 side, has a notch 3d1 in part that is recessed toward the front edge 3c when viewed from above. With this booth 1 of this embodiment, wiring and the like can be inserted from above to below the top plate 3a through the notch 3d1. This prevents wiring and the like from being located on the top plate surface, and ensures a wide workspace on the top plate surface.

[0114] Furthermore, the booth 1 of this embodiment includes a fixing member (wiring duct 6 in this embodiment) that fixes the top plate 3a and the front panel unit 10. With this booth 1 of this embodiment, the top plate 3a and the front panel unit 10 are fixed together. Therefore, it is possible to suppress changes in the positional relationship between the top plate 3a and the front panel unit 10. Consequently, even if an external force is applied to the top plate 3a or the front panel unit 10, it is possible to prevent the top plate 3a from moving relative to the front panel unit 10.

[0115] Furthermore, in the booth 1 of this embodiment, the fixing member is equipped with a wiring duct 6 capable of housing wiring. With this booth 1 of this embodiment, it is possible to house wiring within the fixing member. Therefore, compared to the case where the wiring duct is provided separately from the fixing member, the structure of the booth 1 can be simplified, and the booth 1 can be made smaller and lighter.

[0116] Furthermore, in the booth 1 of this embodiment, the horizontal width dimension Da of the facing section 3f along the facing surface 10a1 is the same as the horizontal width dimension D1 of the facing surface 10a1. With this booth 1 of this embodiment, compared to the case where the width dimension Da of the facing section 3f is smaller than the width dimension D1 of the facing surface 10a1, a wider opening to the workspace Sa (top surface) can be secured when working facing the facing surface 10a1. For this reason, the booth 1 of this embodiment can improve work efficiency when working facing the facing surface 10a1.

[0117] Furthermore, in the booth 1 of this embodiment, the width dimension Db of the right-side inclined surface facing portion 3g along the right-side inclined surface 10b1 in the horizontal direction is the same as the width dimension D2 of the right-side inclined surface 10b1 in the horizontal direction. With this booth 1 of this embodiment, compared to the case where the width dimension Db of the right-side inclined surface facing portion 3g is smaller than the width dimension Db of the right-side inclined surface 10b1, a wider opening to the workspace Sb (top surface) can be secured when working facing the right-side inclined surface 10b1. Therefore, the workability when working facing the right-side inclined surface 10b1 can be improved.

[0118] Furthermore, in the booth 1 of this embodiment, the width dimension Dc of the left-side inclined surface facing section 3h along the left-side inclined surface 10c1 is the same as the width dimension D3 of the left-side inclined surface 10c1 in the horizontal direction. With this booth 1 of this embodiment, compared to the case where the width dimension Dc of the left-side inclined surface facing section 3h is smaller than the width dimension Dc of the left-side inclined surface 10c1, a wider opening to the workspace Sc (top surface) can be secured when working facing the left-side inclined surface 10c1. Therefore, the workability when working facing the left-side inclined surface 10c1 can be improved.

[0119] Furthermore, in the booth 1 of this embodiment, the front-facing opposing section 3f has a curved end portion 3f2 that connects the front-facing opposing straight section 3f1 and the right-side inclined opposing section 3g. Also, the front-facing opposing section 3f has a curved end portion 3f2 that connects the front-facing opposing straight section 3f1 and the left-side inclined opposing section 3h.

[0120] According to this embodiment of Booth 1, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of a bend at the connection point between the front-facing opposing section 3f and the right-side inclined opposing section 3g. Furthermore, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of a bend at the connection point between the front-facing opposing section 3f and the left-side inclined opposing section 3h. As a result, it is possible to prevent workers from touching the bends and experiencing discomfort, thereby improving the comfort of using Booth 1.

[0121] Furthermore, in the booth 1 of this embodiment, the right-side inclined surface opposing portion 3g has a curved end portion 3g2 that connects the right-side inclined surface opposing straight portion 3g1 and the front-facing opposing portion 3f. Also, the left-side inclined surface opposing portion 3h has a curved end portion 3g2 that connects the left-side inclined surface opposing straight portion 3h1 and the front-facing opposing portion 3f.

[0122] According to this embodiment of Booth 1, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of a bend at the connection point between the front-facing opposing section 3f and the right-side inclined opposing section 3g. Furthermore, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of a bend at the connection point between the front-facing opposing section 3f and the left-side inclined opposing section 3h. As a result, it is possible to prevent workers from touching the bends and experiencing discomfort, thereby improving the comfort of using Booth 1.

[0123] Preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described above with reference to the attached drawings, but it goes without saying that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The shapes and combinations of the various components shown in the above embodiments are examples, and can be modified in various ways based on design requirements, etc., without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

[0124] In the above embodiment, the front panel unit 10 was described in which the facing panel 10a, the right-side sub-panel 10b, and the left-side sub-panel 10c included in the front panel unit 10 are configured to have panel bodies that can be erected on the floor surface F. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the front panel unit 10 may be supported by a top plate 3a and may be lighter. In such cases, the front panel unit 10 does not need to have the function of concealing the work position R, and the present invention can be used not as a booth, but as a fixture with a top plate in which the panel body is supported by a top plate 3a.

[0125] Furthermore, the above embodiment described a configuration in which the front panel unit 10 comprises a right sub-panel 10b and a left sub-panel 10c. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the present invention can also employ a configuration comprising only one of the sub-panels, the right sub-panel 10b and the left sub-panel 10c. In addition, the front panel unit 10 can also employ a configuration comprising three or more sub-panels.

[0126] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, a configuration was described in which the end portion 3f2 of the front-facing opposing portion 3f, the end portion 3g2 of the right-side inclined opposing portion 3g, and the end portion 3h2 of the left-side inclined opposing portion 3h are formed to be curved when viewed from above. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. Any or more of the end portions 3f2 of the front-facing opposing portion 3f, the end portion 3g2 of the right-side inclined opposing portion 3g, and the end portion 3h2 of the left-side inclined opposing portion 3h may be formed to be straight when viewed from above.

[0127] Furthermore, the above embodiment described a configuration in which the concealing member is a panel. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the concealing member can also be formed by a rail body located above and a fabric body that can be opened and closed along the rail body.

[0128] Furthermore, the above embodiment described a configuration in which the side members are panels. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, it is also possible to use the walls that make up a room as the side members.

[0129] Furthermore, the above embodiment described a configuration in which the information display panel is a display D. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the information display panel may be a whiteboard or the like on which information can be written.
