[Effects of the Invention]

[0010] According to the present invention, with one end of the first apron and one end of the third apron connected to the first leg member, the first leg member is detachably connected to the tabletop by a first connector, together with one end of the first apron and one end of the third apron. Furthermore, with the other end of the first apron and one end of the fourth apron connected to the second leg member, the second leg member is detachably connected to the tabletop by a second connector, together with the other end of the first apron and one end of the fourth apron. Furthermore, with the other end of the third apron and one end of the second apron connected to the third leg member, the third leg member is detachably connected to the tabletop by a third connector, together with the other end of the third apron and one end of the second apron. Furthermore, with the other end of the fourth apron and the other end of the second apron connected to the fourth leg member, the fourth leg member is detachably connected to the tabletop by a fourth connector, together with one end of the fourth apron and the other end of the second apron.

[0011] With such a configuration, after the user of the table connects one end of the first shutter plate and one end of the third shutter plate to the first leg member, connects the other end of the first shutter plate and one end of the fourth shutter plate to the second leg member, connects the other end of the third shutter plate and one end of the second shutter plate to the third leg member, and connects the other end of the fourth shutter plate and the other end of the second shutter plate to the fourth leg member, the table can be assembled by a simple operation of connecting each of the first connector, the second connector, the third connector, and the fourth connector to the top plate.

[0012] Therefore, the table assembly work does not require complicated work, and the user of the table can assemble the table at any timing.

[0013] Further, according to the present invention, the top plate has a first long side portion, a second long side portion, a first short side portion, and a second short side portion, and the second long side portion has a concave portion curved toward the first long side portion. Therefore, an information processing device such as a personal computer can be placed on the top plate, and the body can be moved to an appropriate position for visually recognizing the display content of the display screen of the information processing device by using the concave portion. Further, not only can the display content be visually recognized, but the body can also be moved to an appropriate position for appropriately operating the keyboard and mouse of the information processing device by using the concave portion, and a table excellent in workability with respect to mounted objects such as information processing devices can be provided.

[0014] Further, according to the present invention, the top plate has a placement area and a stepped area, and a plurality of steps are formed in a stepped shape in the stepped area. Therefore, when the user places an information processing device such as a personal computer on the top plate and operates a mouse or the like, the user can physically grasp the stepped area by contact of an arm or the like with the stepped steps in the stepped area, thereby grasping the placement area inside the stepped area and smoothly operating a mouse or the like in the placement area, and a table excellent in workability can be provided.

[0015] Also, according to the present invention, since the top plate includes a base material and a coating layer made of synthetic resin that coats the base material, even if other members such as the first to fourth leg members, the first to fourth curtain plates, and the first to fourth connectors abut against the top plate, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of contact damage such as dents on the top plate.

[0016] Also, according to the present invention, one end portion and the other end portion of the first to fourth curtain plates have tenon portions, and the first to fourth leg members have tenon grooves. Therefore, by a simple operation of fitting the tenon portions into the tenon grooves, the first to fourth curtain plates and the first to fourth leg members can be connected. Further, since the first to fourth connectors each have a first rib, a second rib, a positioning portion, and a base portion, by partially fitting the positioning portion into the first to fourth leg members to which the first to fourth curtain plates are connected, the first to fourth leg members are respectively positioned on the first to fourth connectors together with the first to fourth curtain plates, and the table can be assembled by connecting each base portion of the first to fourth connectors to the top plate. Therefore, the positioning operation of the first to fourth leg members to which the first to fourth curtain plates are connected to the first to fourth connectors is facilitated, and the assembly work of the table can be simplified.

[Figure 13] This is a cross-sectional view of the first leg member 4a as seen from the cross-section line XIII-XIII in Figure 9. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0018] Figure 1 is a front view of table 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 is a top view of table 1, Figure 3 is a bottom view of table 1, Figure 4 is a right side view of table 1, and Figure 5 is a cross-sectional view of table 1 as seen from the cutting line VV in Figure 2. For the sake of explanation, we assume a Cartesian coordinate system X, Y, Z with a first direction X, a second direction Y, and a third direction Z, where the first direction X is the long side direction, the second direction Y is the short side direction, and the third direction Z is the height direction. In the following explanation, the first direction X may be referred to as the long side direction X, the second direction Y as the short side direction Y, and the third direction Z as the height direction Z.

[0019] Table 1 of this embodiment is used, for example, to place a small information processing device C, such as a notebook personal computer, on a surface indoors and perform tasks such as inputting and outputting information. Table 1 has a first surface 2a and a second surface 2b opposite to the first surface 2a, and in plan view, a rectangular top plate 3, a wooden first leg member 4a erected on the first surface 2a of the first corner 3a of the four corners 3a, 3b, 3c, 3d of the top plate 3, and a wooden first leg member 4a erected on the first surface 2a of the second corner 3b adjacent to the first corner 3a in the long side direction X of the four corners 3a, 3b, 3c, 3d of the top plate 3 It includes a wooden second leg member 4b, a wooden third leg member 4c erected on the first surface 2a of the third corner 3c adjacent to the first corner 3a of the four corners 3a, 3b, 3c, 3d of the tabletop 3 in the short side direction Y, and a wooden fourth leg member 4d erected on the first surface 2a of the fourth corner 3d adjacent to the third corner 3c of the four corners 3a, 3b, 3c, 3d of the tabletop 3 in the long side direction X.

[0020] In this embodiment, "rectangular" is not strictly limited to a geometrically defined rectangle; even if the configuration has a concave portion 8 described later, it is considered "rectangular" if the skeletal form in a plan view is rectangular.

[0021] Table 1 also includes a wooden first apron 5a positioned on the first surface 2a between the first leg member 4a and the second leg member 4b, a wooden second apron 5b positioned on the first surface 2a between the third leg member 4c and the fourth leg member 4d, a wooden third apron 5c positioned on the first surface 2a between the first leg member 4a and the third leg member 4c, and a wooden fourth apron 5d positioned on the first surface 2a between the second leg member 4b and the fourth leg member 4d.

[0022] Furthermore, the table 1 has a metal first connector 6a that detachably connects one end of the first apron 5a and one end of the third apron 5c to the tabletop 3 together with the first leg member 4a, with one end of the first apron 5a and one end of the third apron 5c connected to the first leg member 4a, and the other end of the first apron 5a and one end of the fourth apron 5d connected to the second leg member 4b, with the other end of the first apron 5a and one end of the fourth apron 5d connected to the tabletop 3 together with the second leg member 4b. It includes a second metal connector 6b that is detachably connected to the top plate 3, a third metal connector 6c that detachably connects the other end of the third apron 5c and one end of the second apron 5b to the top plate 3 together with the third leg member 4c, with the other end of the third apron 5c and one end of the second apron 5b connected to the third leg member 4c, and a fourth metal connector 6d that connects to the fourth apron 5d with the other end of the fourth apron 5d and the other end of the second apron 5b connected to the fourth leg member 4d.

[0023] The tabletop 3 has a first long side 7a between the first corner 3a and the second corner 3b, a second long side 7b between the third corner 3c and the fourth corner 3d, a first short side 7c between the first corner 3a and the third corner 3c, and a second short side 7d between the second corner 3b and the fourth corner 3d. In plan view, the second long side 7b has a concave portion 8 that curves toward the first long side 7a.

[0024] Tabletop 3 has a dimension W in the long side direction X, a dimension B in the short side direction Y, and a thickness T in the height direction Z. Table 1 has a dimension H in the height direction Z. This height H is, for example, 800 mm. The dimension W in the long side direction X is, for example, 900 mm, the dimension B in the short side direction Y is, for example, 700 mm, and the thickness T in the height direction Z is, for example, 30 mm. The concave portion 8 is formed in the range of dimension W2 in the long side direction X, where dimension W2 in the long side direction X is, for example, 510 mm. When dimension W2 in the long side direction X is 510 mm, the concave portion 8 is formed between the positions of dimensions W1 and W3 from both ends of tabletop 3 in the long side direction X. Dimensions W1 and W3 may be, for example, W1 = W3 = (W - W2) / 2 = (800 - 510) / 2 = 145 mm when the concave portion 8 is located in the center of dimension W in the long side direction X. Furthermore, the interval L3 may be, for example, 30 mm or more and 70 mm or less, the interval L7 may be, for example, 100 mm or more and 200 mm or less, the interval L8 may be, for example, 500 mm or more and 700 mm or less, and the interval L9 may be, for example, 30 mm or more and 70 mm or less.

[0025] The radius of curvature R of the concave portion 8 may be, for example, 400 mm. Since the concave portion 8 is formed with a radius of curvature R that curves toward the first long side portion 7a on the second long side portion 7b, when a user wants to work close to the information processing device C, the user can position their body, such as their chest or abdomen, on the concave portion 8 side of the virtual straight line 83 connecting the straight sections 81 and 82 that extend parallel to the long side direction X of the second long side portion 7b. This improves work efficiency compared to working in an inappropriate posture with the body positioned outside the virtual straight line 83.

[0026] Figure 6 is an enlarged cross-sectional view of a portion of the top plate 3 as seen from the cross-section line VI-VI in Figure 2. The top plate 3 has a base material 20 made of a wooden plate and a synthetic resin coating layer 21 covering the base material 20. The coating layer 21 has a flat mounting area A1 on which the information processing device C is placed and a loop-shaped stepped area A2 in which a plurality of steps 18a, 18b, 18c are formed in a stepped manner.

[0027] Each step 18a, 18b, and 18c has heights h1, h2, and h3, respectively. Each height h1, h2, and h3 is, for example, 1 mm. The stepped region A2 has steps 18a, 18b, and 18c extending outward from the peripheral edge. Of the steps 18a, 18b, and 18c, the first step 18a is formed at the peripheral edge of the mounting region A1, the second step 18b is located further outward than the first step 18a, and the third step 18c is located further outward than the second step 18b. The first step 18a and the second step 18b have a gap b1 in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which each step 18a, 18b, and 18c extends. The second step 18b and the third step 18c have a gap b2. Furthermore, there is a gap b3 between the third step 18 and the outer edge of the top plate 3. The gap b1 is, for example, 10 mm, the gap b2 is, for example, 10 mm, and the gap b3 is, for example, 25 mm.

[0028] As described above, the top plate 3 has a flat placement area A1 and a stepped area A2. When a user places the information processing device C on the top plate 3 and operates a mouse or the like, their arm or other body part comes into contact with the stepped steps 18a, 18b, and 18c of the stepped area A2, allowing them to intuitively grasp the stepped area A2 and smoothly operate the mouse or the like on the placement area A1.

The first rib 9d has an axial hole 17d through which the shaft of the wood screw 13d is inserted, and the second rib 10d has an axial hole 18d through which the shaft of the wood screw 14d is inserted.

[0037] Figure 8 is a perspective view of the first fascia board 5a. In this embodiment, the first fascia board 5a, the second fascia board 5b, the third fascia board 5c, and the fourth fascia board 5d are constructed similarly, so only the first fascia board 5a will be described, and the descriptions of the remaining second fascia board 5b, third fascia board 5c, and fourth fascia board 5d will be omitted to avoid repetition. The first fascia board 5a is a wooden square timber with a rectangular cross-section perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, and at both ends in the longitudinal direction it has end faces 5a1 and 5a2 perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, and tenon portions 22 and 23 protruding from each end face 5a1 and 5a2, respectively. Each tenon portion 22, 23 is formed in a rectangular prism shape extending in the longitudinal direction (up and down direction in Figure 8) of the end faces 5a1, 5a2. The first leg member 4a, second leg member 4b, third leg member 4c, and fourth leg member 4d have mortise grooves 24, 25 formed in them, into which the tenons 22, 23 of the first apron 5a, second apron 5b, third apron 5c, and fourth apron 5d fit snugly.

[0038] Referring again to Figures 2 and 3, an elongated hole 34 is formed in the first corner 3a of the top plate 3, penetrating through the thickness direction of the top plate 3 into which a connector 33 is fitted. The elongated hole 34 is positioned such that there is a gap L5 in the first direction X from one of the two short sides, and a gap L6 in the second direction Y from the long side opposite to the concave portion 8 of the two long sides, and it has a length L1 in the first direction X and a width L2 in the second direction Y. The length L1 is, for example, 145 mm, and the width L2 is, for example, 30 mm. The gap L5 is selected, for example, from 20 mm to 50 mm, and the gap L6 is selected, for example, from 20 mm to 50 mm. Since an elongated hole 34 with length L1 and width L2 is formed in the top plate 3 in this way, a connector 33 having multiple insertion points can be fitted into the elongated hole 34. The connector 33 may be bonded to the inner surface of the elongated hole 34 with an adhesive. A cable 32 is connected to the connector 33, and a plug 31 is connected to the cable 32. The plug 31 is connected to a commercial AC power outlet installed on the wall or elsewhere inside the room. Therefore, power can be easily obtained by connecting the power plug of the information processing device C to the connector 33.

[0039] Figure 9 is a front view of the first leg member 4a, Figure 10 is an enlarged plan view of the first leg member 4a, Figure 11 is an enlarged bottom view of the first leg member 4a, Figure 12 is a cross-sectional view of the first leg member 4a viewed from the cutting line XII-XII in Figure 9, and Figure 13 is a cross-sectional view of the first leg member 4a viewed from the cutting line XIII-XIII in Figure 9. In this embodiment, the first leg member 4a, the second leg member 4b, the third leg member 4c, and the fourth leg member 4d are configured similarly, so only the first leg member 4a will be described, and the descriptions of the remaining second, third, and fourth leg members will be omitted to avoid redundancy.

[0040] The first leg member 4a includes a first portion 26, a second portion 27, a third portion 28, a fourth portion 29, and a fifth portion 30. The first portion 26 has the aforementioned mortise grooves 24 and 25. The first portion 26, the second portion 27, the third portion 28, the fourth portion 29, and the fifth portion 30 are aligned along a linear axis L11 and constitute the first leg member 4a. Similarly, the second leg member 4b has an axis L12, the third leg member 4c has an axis L13, and the fourth leg member 4d has an axis L14. These axes L11, L12, L13, and L14 are arranged to form the sides of a rectangle in a plan view or a bottom view.

[0041] As shown in Figure 10, the first part 26 has a substantially square cross-section perpendicular to the axis L11 and a length H2 in the direction of the axis L11. The length H2 may be, for example, 100 mm. The four corners of the first part 26 are formed into curved surfaces that form part of a cylindrical surface such as an R surface by chamfering. The sides between the four corners are flat, and the aforementioned mortise grooves 24 and 25 are formed on the two sides that are perpendicular to the axis L11. Each mortise groove 24 and 25 is open at one end face of the first part 26. The other end face of the first part 26 on the second part 27 side forms part of a sphere and is connected to the second part 27 at its center.

[0044] The first leg member 4a is configured as described above, and the remaining second leg member 4b, third leg member 4c, and fourth leg member 4d are configured similarly to the first leg member 4a. Since the first to fourth leg members 4a to 4d have first parts 26 to fifth parts 30 as described above, end faces forming part of a sphere face each other on both sides in the direction of the axis L11 of the spheroidal second part 27, and end faces forming part of a sphere face each other on both sides in the direction of the axis L11 of the spheroidal fourth part 29, thus providing first to fourth leg members 4a to 4d with superior aesthetic appeal. Furthermore, since the first to fourth leg members 4a to 4d are formed in a tapered shape from one end to the other along the axis L11 to L14, the aesthetic appeal is improved, and the exposed area of ​​the floor on which the table is installed is large, allowing the floor to be vacuumed more efficiently by a self-propelled vacuum cleaner.

[0045] In this embodiment, with one end of the first apron 5a and one end of the third apron 5c connected to the first leg member 4a, the first leg member 4a, together with one end of the first apron 5a and one end of the third apron 5c, is detachably connected to the tabletop 3 by the first connector 6a. Furthermore, with the other end of the first apron 5a and one end of the fourth apron 5d connected to the second leg member 4b, the second leg member 4b, together with the other end of the first apron 5a and one end of the fourth apron 5d, is detachably connected to the tabletop 3 by the second connector 6b. Furthermore, with the other end of the third apron 5c and one end of the second apron 5b connected to the third leg member 4c, the third leg member 4c, together with the other end of the third apron 5c and one end of the second apron 5b, is detachably connected to the tabletop 3 by the third connector 6c. Furthermore, with the other end of the fourth apron 5d and the other end of the second apron 5b connected to the fourth leg member 4d, the fourth leg member 4d, together with one end of the fourth apron 5d and the other end of the second apron 5b, is detachably connected to the top plate 3 by the fourth connector.

[0046] With this configuration, the user of table 1 can assemble table 1 by a simple operation: connecting one end of the first apron 5a and one end of the third apron 5c to the first leg member 4a, connecting the other end of the first apron 5a and one end of the fourth apron 5d to the second leg member 4b, connecting the other end of the third apron 5c and one end of the fourth apron 5d to the third leg member 4c, connecting the other end of the fourth apron 5d and the other end of the second apron 5b to the fourth leg member 4d, and then connecting each of the first connector 6a, second connector 6b, third connector 6c, and fourth connector 6d to the tabletop 3.

[0047] Therefore, assembling Table 1 does not require complicated procedures, and users of Table 1 can assemble it at any time they wish. This allows Table 1 to be sold in a disassembled state, and the purchaser can assemble and use it.

[0048] Furthermore, according to this embodiment, the tabletop 3 has a first long side portion 7a, a second long side portion 7b, a first short side portion 7c, and a second short side portion 7d, and the first long side portion 7a has a concave portion 8 that curves convexly toward the second long side portion 7b, so that the user can use the table 1 with their body close to the tabletop 3. Therefore, an information processing device C, such as a notebook personal computer, can be placed on the tabletop 3, and input operations using the keyboard and mouse of the information processing device C can be performed in a posture suitable for work, thus providing a table 1 with excellent workability.

[0049] Furthermore, according to this embodiment, the top plate 3 has a placement area A1 and a stepped area A2, and multiple steps 18a, 18b, and 18c are formed in a stepped manner in the stepped area A2. Therefore, when a user places an information processing device C, such as a notebook personal computer, on the top plate 3 and operates a mouse or the like, they can perceive the flat placement area A1 by the stepped steps of the stepped area A2, and smoothly operate a mouse or the like on the placement area A1 without having to visually check the placement area, thus providing a table 1 with excellent workability.

[0050] Furthermore, according to this embodiment, since the tabletop 3 includes a base material 20 and a synthetic resin coating layer 21 covering the base material 20, damage to the tabletop 3 due to contact with other members such as the first to fourth leg members 4a to 4d, the first to fourth modesty panels 5a to 5d, and the first to fourth connecting members 6a to 6d during the assembly of the table 1 is suppressed, and a decrease in the operability of a mouse and the like is prevented.

[0051] Furthermore, according to this embodiment, one end and the other end of the first to fourth skirting boards 5a to 5d have tenon portions 22 and 23, and the first to fourth leg members 4a to 4d have mortise grooves 24 and 25. Therefore, the first to fourth skirting boards 5a to 5d and the first to fourth leg members 4a to 4d can be connected by a simple operation in which the worker fits the tenon portions 22 and 23 into the mortise grooves 24 and 25. Furthermore, since the first to fourth connectors 6a to 4d each have a first rib 9a to 9d, a second rib 10a to 10d, a positioning part 11a to 11d, and a base part 12a to 12d, the first to fourth leg members 4a to 4d, to which the first to fourth skirts 5a to 5d are connected, are fitted into the positioning parts 11a to 11d, thereby positioning the first to fourth leg members 4a to 4d together with the first to fourth skirts 5a to 5d on the first to fourth connectors 6a to 4d, and the table 1 can be assembled by connecting the base parts 12a to 12d to the tabletop 3. Thus, the positioning work of the first to fourth leg members 4a to 4d, to which the first to fourth skirts 5a to 5d are connected, on the first to fourth connectors 6a to 6d is simplified, and the assembly work of the table 1 can be simplified.
