[0015] [Table 10] First, the configuration of a table 10, which is one embodiment of a fixture according to the present invention, will be described with reference to Figures 1 and 2. The table 10 is mainly composed of a combination of members formed by bending steel plates or the like. In this specification, the table 10 will be used as an example of a fixture, but the present invention is not limited to tables and can be generally applied to fixtures such as cabinets and lockers that have a tabletop or shelf arranged to extend horizontally.

[0016] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, a table 10 according to this embodiment comprises two adjacent rectangular tabletops 11,11 and two rectangular side plates 12,12 arranged parallel to each other. The side plates 12,12 support the undersides of the opposing sides of the two tabletops 11,11. As shown in Figure 3, the tabletop 11 is configured as a hollow plate-like member. In the table 10, the tabletop 11 functions as an example of a "horizontally extending upper plate" according to the present invention.

[0017] The table 10 is configured so that two users can use the table top 11 while facing each other. For this reason, of the two long sides of each table top 11, the long side closer to the adjacent table top 11 is located farther from the user of that table top 11, and is therefore referred to as the "long side on the far side" in this specification. Similarly, of the two long sides of each table top 11, the long side farther from the adjacent table top 11 is located closer to the user of that table top 11, and is therefore referred to as the "long side on the near side" in this specification.

[0018] 2, a number of tabletop slit holes 11s are opened along the long side on the underside of the tabletop 11, and are used when providing drawers or the like on the table 10. Specifically, the tabletop slit holes 11s are opened along each of the long sides on the rear side and the long sides on the front side of the tabletop 11 on the underside of the tabletop 11, with the direction perpendicular to the long sides of the tabletop 11 as the longitudinal direction.

[0019] As shown in Fig. 2, a duct 13 capable of accommodating wiring cables and the like is provided at the lower portion between the table tops 11 (between the long sides at the rear of each table top 11). The duct 13 includes duct side plates 13a hanging downward from the long sides at the rear of each table top 11, and a duct bottom plate 13b connecting the lower ends of the duct side plates 13a. As shown in Fig. 2, a number of duct slit holes 13s are formed in the lower surface of the duct bottom plate 13b. In the table 10, the duct bottom plate 13b can also function as an example of the "horizontally extending upper plate" according to the present invention.

[0020] [Functional Components 20] 1 and 2, the table 10 includes a functional member 20 attached to the bottom surfaces of the top plate 11 and the duct bottom plate 13b. In this embodiment, the functional member 20 can be attached to either the top plate 11 or the duct bottom plate 13b in the same manner. In this embodiment, the functional member 20 is made of a resin material.

[0021] As described above, a large number of tabletop slit holes 11s are opened on the underside of the tabletop 11, and the periphery of any one or more of the tabletop slit holes 11s can be used as an attachment portion to which the functional member 20 is attached. As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the table 10 according to this embodiment is configured so that the functional member 20 is attached to the tabletop slit hole 11s opened near the longitudinal center of the long side on the front side of one tabletop 11.

[0022] When the functional member 20 is attached to the lower surface of the duct bottom plate 13b, the periphery of one or more of the many duct slit holes 13s functions as a mounting portion to which the functional member 20 is attached. In the following, the functional member 20 attached to the top plate 11 will be described with reference to Figs. 3 to 8.

[0023] 3 to 8, the functional member 20 has a base member 21 that engages with the tabletop slit hole 11s of the tabletop 11, and a hook 22 that is a functional part main body that can be attached to the base member 21 so that its horizontal position can be changed.

[0024] 3 to 5, the base member 21 is formed by combining a base main body 30 and a regulating member 40. The base main body 30 is a member that supports the hook 22 with a main body portion 31 shaped like a square plate. An engagement portion 32 is formed on the upper surface of the main body portion 31, extending to the opposite side to the regulating member 40. One end side of the main body portion 31 (the hook 22 side in FIG. 5) is cut out to form an inserted portion 33, and a support portion 34 that is a spherical recess is formed on the inside of the inserted portion 33.

[0025] A groove-shaped insertion groove 35 is formed on the other end side of the main body 31. Restriction protrusions 36, 36 are formed at the rear end of the insertion groove 35 so as to protrude opposite each other. Two ridges 37, 37 are formed protruding upward on the other end side of the upper surface of the main body 31. As shown in Figures 7 and 8, a locking portion 38 is formed on the inner surface of the insertion groove 35 so as to protrude toward the other end side of the main body 31.

[0026] The regulating member 40 is a member that is attached to the base body 30 and regulates the displacement of the base body 30. As shown in Fig. 5, the regulating member 40 is formed with a regulating main body portion 41, a second engagement portion 42, and an elastic piece 43. An inverted U-shaped elastic piece 43 is formed on one end side of the regulating main body portion 41 (the side of the base body 30 in Fig. 5). The elastic piece 43 is configured to be elastically deformable so as to approach and move away from the regulating main body portion 41.

[0027] A locked portion 44 is formed on the surface of the elastic piece 43 facing the base body 30, protruding toward one end of the regulating member 40. As shown in Figures 7(b) and 8, the lower end portion on the tip side of the elastic piece 43 extends slightly from the lower end surface of the regulating body portion 41. In addition, a regulated protrusion 45 is formed at the base end of the elastic piece 43 by expanding in the width direction.

[0028] A second engagement portion 42 is formed on the upper surface of the regulating body portion 41, extending toward the other end side, which is the opposite side of the base body 30. A curved surface portion 46 is formed toward one end side of the regulating body portion 41. Specifically, as shown in Fig. 7, the curved surface portion 46 is formed in an R shape on the regulating body portion 41 so that it can be seen in a side view.

[0029] 5, the hook 22 includes a hook portion 22a formed in a bent hook shape, a cylindrical connecting portion 22b formed to protrude upward from the upper end surface of the hook portion 22a, and a hemispherical supported portion 22c formed at the upper end of the connecting portion 22b. The outer surface shape of the supported portion 22c is formed in a spherical shape that is substantially the same as the inner surface shape of the support portion 34 formed on the base body 30.

[0030] [Assembly procedure for functional component 20] Next, the procedure for assembling the functional member 20 to the top plate 11 will be described with reference to Figures 6 to 8. When assembling the functional member 20 to the top plate 11, first, as shown in Figure 6(a), the hook 22 is attached to the base body 30. Specifically, as shown by the dashed-dotted arrow in Figure 6(a), the connecting portion 22b of the hook 22 is inserted into the inserted portion 33 of the base body 30, and the supported portion 22c is placed from above on the support portion 34. This causes the base body 30 and the hook 22 to engage with each other.

[0031] Then, as shown by the dashed-dotted arrow in Fig. 6(a), the engaging portion 32 of the base body 30 is inserted into the top plate slit hole 11s of the top plate 11 and slid to engage the engaging portion 32 with the top plate slit hole 11s. As a result, the base body 30 and the hook 22 are integrally attached to the top plate 11 as shown in Figs. 6(b) and 7(a). In this state, the upward displacement of the hook 22 is restricted by the top plate 11. Also, the width dimension of the supported portion 22c of the hook 22 is larger than the dimension of the gap in which the inserted portion 33 is formed. Therefore, the hook 22 does not come out of the base body 30.

[0032] Furthermore, as shown by the dashed-dotted arrow in Fig. 6(b), the second engagement portion 42 of the regulating member 40 is inserted into the top plate slit hole 11s, and the regulating main body portion 41 is lifted toward the base main body 30 while rotating (see Fig. 7(a)). As a result, the second engagement portion 42 is inserted into the top plate slit hole 11s in the opposite direction to the engagement portion 32 of the base main body 30. At this time, by forming the curved surface portion 46 into an R-shape, it is possible to rotate the regulating main body portion 41 so that the regulating main body portion 41 and the base main body 30 do not interfere with each other.

[0033] When the regulating main body portion 41 is rotated upward as described above, the elastic piece 43 of the regulating member 40 is inserted into the insertion groove 35 of the base main body 30 (see FIG. 4). Then, the locked portion 44 comes into contact with the locking portion 38, causing the elastic piece 43 to elastically deform, and the locked portion 44 rides up the upper side of the locking portion 38. When the locked portion 44 is displaced to the upper side of the locking portion 38, the elastic deformation of the elastic piece 43 is released, and the locked portion 44 is locked by the locking portion 38 as shown in FIG. 8. As a result, the regulating member 40 is assembled into the top plate slit hole 11s in a state where it is locked to the base main body 30.

[0034] When the restricting member 40 is assembled into the tabletop slit hole 11s, the displacement of the base body 30 is restricted by the restricting member 40, so that the engagement state between the engaging portion 32 and the tabletop slit hole 11s is maintained. That is, the state in which the functional member 20 is engaged with the tabletop slit hole 11s can be stably maintained.

[0035] 4, when the regulating member 40 is attached to the top plate slit hole 11s, the regulated protrusion 45 is inserted into the insertion groove 35. The rear end of the insertion groove 35 is formed with the regulating protrusions 36·36, and the regulating protrusions 36·36 regulate the displacement of the regulated protrusion 45 in the direction of coming out of the insertion groove 35. This prevents the regulating member 40 from displacing in the direction away from the base body 30, which would cause the locked portion 44 and the locking portion 38 to be released from their locking.

[0036] When removing the functional member 20 from the top plate 11, a force is applied to the lower end of the tip side of the elastic piece 43 on the opposite side of the base body 30, causing the elastic piece 43 to elastically deform. This releases the locked state of the locked portion 44 by the locking portion 38, making it possible to remove the regulating member 40 from the base body 30. After removing the regulating member 40 from the base body 30, the base body 30 is slid in a direction in which the engagement between the engagement portion 32 and the top plate slit hole 11s is released, whereby the base body 30 and the hook 22 are removed from the top plate slit hole 11s.

[0037] In this embodiment, as shown by the dashed line L in Fig. 7(b), when the functional member 20 is attached to the top plate 11, the lower end of the tip side of the elastic piece 43 is configured to be aligned vertically with the lower end surface of the base body 30. This prevents other objects from getting caught on the lower end of the tip side of the elastic piece 43 while the functional member 20 is in use. In this manner, in this embodiment, the restriction member 40 is prevented from coming off the base body 30 due to the elastic deformation of the elastic piece 43 unintentionally by the user.

[0038] [Action of functional member 20] When the functional member 20 is attached to the top plate 11, it becomes possible to hang items used around the table 10, such as bags, small items, cables, etc., on the hook portion 22a of the hook 22. The outer shape of the supported portion 22c of the hook 22 and the inner shape of the support portion 34 of the base body 30 are formed to be substantially the same spherical shape. Therefore, the hook 22 is attached to the base body 30 so that the horizontal position of the hook 22 relative to the base member 21 can be freely changed. That is, the user of the table 10 can change the horizontal position by rotating the hook 22 depending on the usage mode of the functional member 20. This makes it possible to improve the usability of the functional member 20 on the table 10.

[0039] In this embodiment, the hook 22 is permitted to move in a direction other than the horizontal rotation. Specifically, for example, if the outer shape of the supported portion 22c and the inner shape of the support portion 34 are formed in a conical shape (a mortar shape), when a force is applied to the hook 22 in a direction different from the horizontal rotation (for example, a rocking direction having a horizontal axis of rotation), it is difficult for the hook 22 to smoothly displace in the direction in which the force is applied. In this embodiment, the outer shape of the supported portion 22c and the inner shape of the support portion 34 are formed in a substantially identical spherical shape, so that the hook 22 can rock in a direction having a horizontal axis of rotation within the range of the clearance between the upper surface of the supported portion 22c and the lower surface of the attached portion of the top plate 11. Furthermore, the hook 22 can also rotate in the horizontal direction while slightly rocking.

[0040] In the functional member 20, two protrusions 37·37 are formed protruding upward on the upper surface of the main body 31. When a bag or the like is hung on the hook 22, the protrusions 37·37 come into contact with the underside of the top plate 11, thereby preventing the functional member 20 from tilting and suppressing rattling between the functional member 20 and the top plate 11.

[0041] As described above, the table 10 according to this embodiment is configured so that the engaging portion 32 of the functional member 20 is inserted into and engaged with the tabletop slit hole 11s. This makes it possible to stably attach the base member 21 to the attachment portion where the tabletop slit hole 11s is opened.

[0042] Moreover, the base member 21 in the functional member 20 includes a base body 30 having an engagement portion 32, and a restricting member 40 that restricts the displacement of the base body 30 so that the engagement between the top plate slit hole 11s and the engagement portion 32 is not released. As a result, the base body 30 and the restricting member 40 can be attached to the top plate 11, respectively, so that the base member 21 can be easily assembled to the top plate 11, and the assembling property of the base member 21 can be improved.

[0043] In addition, in the functional member 20, the hook 22, which is the functional part main body, is attached to the base main body 30 having the engagement portion 32. This allows the engagement portion 32, which supports the weight of a bag or the like hung on the hook portion 22a, to be disposed close to the hook 22. In other words, the bending moment generated in the engagement portion 32 can be reduced, making it possible to stably support the hook 22.

[0044] Moreover, in the functional member 20, the restricting member 40 includes a second engaging portion 42 that is inserted into the tabletop slit hole 11s in the opposite direction to the engaging portion 32 and engages with it. This allows the engaging portion 32 and the second engaging portion 42 to maintain a state of engaging with the tabletop slit hole 11s even if the base member 21 is displaced with respect to the tabletop slit hole 11s, so that the tabletop 11 can stably support the functional member 20.

[0045] In addition, in the functional member 20, the regulating member 40 has an engaged portion 44 that is engaged with the engaging portion 38 of the base body 30 when the functional member 20 is combined with the base body 30. This makes it possible to stably maintain the combined state of the base body 30 and the regulating member 40.

[0046] Furthermore, when the functional member 20 is attached to the top plate 11, the upward displacement of the hook 22 is restricted by the top plate 11, and therefore removal of the hook 22 from the base member 21 is restricted. This prevents the hook 22 from coming off the base member 21 when the functional member 20 is attached to the top plate 11.

[0047] [Variations] The above embodiment can be modified as appropriate as shown in the following modifications. Each modification may be applied in combination with other modifications as long as no contradiction occurs.

[0048] The functional member according to the present invention can be attached not only to tables, but also to any other furniture having a top plate or shelf plate, such as cabinets, lockers, etc. Also, it is possible to attach the functional member to a plate material that extends in the up-down and left-right directions (a plate material whose thickness direction is horizontal), such as a side plate or back plate different from a top plate or shelf plate.

[0049] 9, for example, a functional member 20A, which is a first modified example of the functional member 20, can be assembled to a side plate slit hole 111s, which is an engaged portion, opened in a side plate 111. The functional member 20A according to this modified example has a base member 121 that engages with the side plate slit hole 111s, and a hook 122, which is a functional part main body, that can be attached to the base member 121 so that its horizontal posture with respect to the base member 121 can be changed.

[0050] 9, the base member 121 is configured by combining a base main body 130 and a restricting member 40. In this modification, the restricting member 40 has the same configuration as the restricting member 40 in the functional member 20, and therefore a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

[0051] The base main body 130 is a member that supports the hook 122 with a main body portion 131 having a rectangular column shape. An engagement portion 132 extending to the opposite side to the restricting member 40 is formed on the back surface (the surface on the side of the side plate 111) of the main body portion 131. One end side (the lower end side on the hook 122 side in FIG. 9) of the main body portion 131 is cut out to form an inserted portion 133, and a support portion 134 that is a spherical recess is formed on the inside of the inserted portion 133.

[0052] A groove-shaped insertion groove 135 is formed on the other end (upper end) of main body 131. Restriction protrusions 136, 136 are formed at the upper end of insertion groove 135 so as to protrude opposite each other. Two ridges 137, 137 are formed protruding upward on the upper end side of the back surface of main body 131. As shown in Fig. 9, a locking portion 138 is formed on the inner surface of insertion groove 135 so as to protrude toward the upper end side of main body 131.

[0053] 9, the hook 122 includes a hook portion 122a formed in a bent hook shape, a cylindrical connecting portion 122b formed to protrude upward from the upper end surface of the hook portion 122a, and a semispherical supported portion 122c formed at the upper end of the connecting portion 122b. The outer surface shape of the supported portion 122c is formed in a spherical shape that is substantially the same as the inner surface shape of a support portion 134 formed on the base body 130.

[0054] When assembling the functional member 20A to the side plate 111, the hook 122 is assembled to the base body 130 in the same manner as the functional member 20. Specifically, the connecting portion 122b of the hook 122 is inserted from the rear side into the inserted portion 133 of the base body 130, and the supported portion 122c is placed from above on the support portion 134. This causes the base body 130 and the hook 122 to engage with each other.

[0055] Then, the engaging portion 132 of the base body 130 is inserted into the side plate slit hole 111s of the side plate 111 and slid downward to engage the engaging portion 132 with the side plate slit hole 111s. As a result, the base body 130 and the hook 122 are integrally assembled to the side plate 111. In this state, the displacement of the hook 122 towards the side plate 111 is restricted by the side plate 111. Therefore, the hook 122 will not come out of the base body 130.

[0056] Furthermore, the second engagement portion 42 of the regulating member 40 is inserted into the side plate slit hole 111s, and is rotated toward the base body 130 while rotating the regulating body portion 41. As a result, the second engagement portion 42 is inserted into the side plate slit hole 111s in the opposite direction to the engagement portion 132 of the base body 130.

[0057] When the regulating main body 41 is rotated as described above, the elastic piece 43 of the regulating member 40 is inserted into the insertion groove 135 of the base main body 130. Then, the locked portion 44 comes into contact with the locking portion 138, causing the elastic piece 43 to elastically deform, and the locked portion 44 climbs over the locking portion 138. When the locked portion 44 climbs over the locking portion 138, the elastic deformation of the elastic piece 43 is released, and the locked portion 44 is locked by the locking portion 138, as shown in Fig. 9. As a result, the regulating member 40 is assembled into the side plate slit hole 111s in a state where it is locked to the base main body 130.

[0058] When the restricting member 40 is assembled into the side plate slit hole 111s, the displacement of the base body 130 is restricted by the restricting member 40, so that the engagement state between the engaging portion 132 and the side plate slit hole 111s is maintained. That is, the state in which the functional member 20A is engaged with the side plate slit hole 111s can be stably maintained.

[0059] 9, when the regulating member 40 is attached to the side plate slit hole 111s, the regulated protrusion 45 is inserted into the insertion groove 135. The upper end of the insertion groove 135 is formed with regulating protrusions 136, which regulate the displacement of the regulated protrusion 45 in the direction of coming out of the insertion groove 135. This prevents the regulating member 40 from displacing in the direction away from the base body 130, which would cause the locked portion 44 and the locking portion 138 to be released from their locking.

[0060] The method of removing the functional member 20A from the side plate 111 is substantially the same as the method of removing the functional member 20 from the top plate 11. That is, a force is applied to the tip of the elastic piece 43 on the opposite side of the base body 130, causing the elastic piece 43 to elastically deform. This releases the locked state of the locked portion 44 by the locking portion 138, making it possible to remove the regulating member 40 from the base body 130. After removing the regulating member 40 from the base body 130, the base body 130 is slid in a direction in which the engagement between the engagement portion 132 and the side plate slit hole 111s is released, whereby the base body 130 and the hook 122 are removed from the side plate slit hole 111s.

[0061] When the functional member 20A is attached to the side plate 111, it is possible to hook a bag, small items, cables, etc. onto the hook portion 122a of the hook 122. The outer surface shape of the supported portion 122c of the hook 122 and the inner surface shape of the support portion 134 of the base body 130 are formed to be substantially the same spherical shape. Therefore, the hook 122 is attached to the base body 130 so that the horizontal position of the hook 122 relative to the base member 121 can be freely changed. That is, the user can change the horizontal position by rotating the hook 122 depending on the usage mode of the functional member 20A. This makes it possible to improve the usability of the functional member 20A.

[0062] 10, it is also possible to assemble a functional member 20B, which is a second modified example of the functional member 20, into a side plate slit hole 111s, which is an engaged portion opened in the side plate 111. The functional member 20B according to this modified example is configured by combining a hook member 230 and a regulating member 40. In this modified example, the regulating member 40 has the same configuration as the regulating member 40 in the functional member 20, so a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

[0063] Hook member 230 is a member formed by integrally forming base body 130 and hook 122, which is a functional part body, in the first modified example. Hook member 230 includes a hook main body 231 having a rectangular column shape, an engagement portion 132 extending on the rear surface (the surface on the side of side plate 111) of hook main body 231 to the side opposite to restricting member 40, and a hook portion 233 extending from hook main body 231 to the side opposite side plate 111.

[0064] A groove-shaped insertion groove 235 is formed on the upper end side of the hook main body 231. Restriction protrusions 236 / 236 are formed at the upper end of the insertion groove 235 so as to protrude opposite each other. Two ridges 237 / 237 are formed protruding upward on the upper end side of the back surface of the main body 231. As shown in Figure 10, a locking portion 238 is formed on the inner surface of the insertion groove 235 so as to protrude toward the upper end side of the hook main body 231.

[0065] When the functional member 20B is attached to the side plate 111, the hook member 230 is slid downward while the engagement portion 232 is inserted into the side plate slit hole 111s of the side plate 111, and the engagement portion 232 is engaged with the side plate slit hole 111s. Thus, the hook member 230 is attached to the side plate 111.

[0066] Furthermore, the second engagement portion 42 of the regulating member 40 is inserted into the side plate slit hole 111s, and is rotated toward the hook member 230 while rotating the regulating main body portion 41. As a result, the second engagement portion 42 is inserted into the side plate slit hole 111s in the opposite direction to the engagement portion 232 of the hook member 230.

[0067] When the regulating main body portion 41 is rotated as described above, the elastic piece 43 of the regulating member 40 is inserted into the insertion groove 235 of the hook member 230. Then, the locked portion 44 comes into contact with the locking portion 238, causing the elastic piece 43 to elastically deform, and the locked portion 44 climbs over the locking portion 238. When the locked portion 44 climbs over the locking portion 238, the elastic deformation of the elastic piece 43 is released, and the locked portion 44 is locked by the locking portion 238, as shown in Fig. 10. As a result, the regulating member 40 is assembled into the side plate slit hole 111s in a state where it is locked to the hook member 230.

[0068] When the restricting member 40 is assembled into the side plate slit hole 111s, the displacement of the hook member 230 is restricted by the restricting member 40, so that the engagement state between the engaging portion 232 and the side plate slit hole 111s is maintained. That is, the state in which the functional member 20B is engaged with the side plate slit hole 111s can be stably maintained.

[0069] 10, when the regulating member 40 is assembled into the side plate slit hole 111s, the regulated protrusion 45 is inserted into the inside of the insertion groove 235. The upper end of the insertion groove 235 is formed with regulating protrusions 236-236, and the regulating protrusions 236-236 regulate the displacement of the regulated protrusion 45 in the direction of coming out of the insertion groove 235. This prevents the regulating member 40 from displacing in the direction away from the hook member 230, which would cause the locked portion 44 to be released from the locking portion 238.

[0070] The method for removing the functional member 20B from the side plate 111 is substantially the same as the method for removing the functional member 20 from the top plate 11. That is, a force is applied to the tip of the elastic piece 43 on the side opposite to the hook member 230, causing the elastic piece 43 to elastically deform. This releases the locked state of the locked portion 44 by the locking portion 238, making it possible to remove the regulating member 40 from the hook member 230. After removing the regulating member 40 from the hook member 230, the hook member 230 is slid in a direction in which the engagement between the engagement portion 232 and the side plate slit hole 111s is released, whereby the hook member 230 is removed from the side plate slit hole 111s.

[0071] [Other variations] In this embodiment, the configuration for assembling the functional member 20 to the top plate 11 of the table 10 has been described, but as shown in Fig. 2, the functional member 20 can also be attached to the duct 13 provided in the table 10 in the same manner as the top plate 11. Specifically, the functional member 20 can be attached by engaging the engagement portion 32 and the second engagement portion 42 with one of the many duct slit holes 13s.

[0072] Furthermore, the engaged portion of the fixture with which the functional member 20 engages need only have a concave shape with which the engaging portion 32 of the functional member 20 can engage, and does not need to have a hole. Even if a hole is formed, the shape does not need to be a slit as in this embodiment, and it is also possible to assemble the functional member 20 into a hole of another shape, such as a circle or a rectangle.

[0073] Furthermore, the functional part main body of the functional member 20 may be a member having other functions such as a storage box, a hanger, etc., in addition to the hook 22 in this embodiment. When the functional member 20 is attached to the underside of the tabletop 11 and an infrequently used item such as a helmet or disaster prevention goods is to be hung on the hook 22, the functional member 20 is attached to the tabletop slit hole 11s opening along the long side on the rear side of the tabletop 11, and the hook 22 is oriented in a horizontal direction so that the hook 22 extends to the front side of the tabletop 11, which is preferable for the user to easily hang the item while getting under the tabletop.

[0074] On the other hand, when hanging a frequently used item such as a bag on the hook 22, it is preferable to assemble the functional member 20 in the tabletop slit hole 11s that opens along the long side of the tabletop 11 on the near side, and to orient the hook 22 in a horizontal position so that the hook 22 extends toward the user. Since the position that is easy to use (easy to attach and detach a bag to and from the hook 22) differs by 180 degrees when the hook 22 is located on the right side of the user from the position that is easy to use when the hook 22 is located on the left side, the usability of the functional member 20 is improved by changing the horizontal position of the hook 22 to one that is easy to use for the user's position.

[0075] In this way, the location where the functional member 20 is to be attached can be appropriately selected depending on the application. Also, the horizontal position of the functional part main body (hook 22) can be changed so that it is most convenient for each application.

[0076] In this embodiment, the base member 21 is configured by combining the base main body 30 and the regulating member 40, but it is also possible to configure the base member as an integral unit. In other words, as long as the engagement state between the engaging portion of the base member and the engaged portion is maintained when the base member is attached to the engaged portion, the base member can be configured without being divided into the base main body and the regulating member.

[0077] The functional member 20 may be configured so that the functional part main body (the hook 22 in this embodiment) is assembled to the regulating member 40. Also, as long as the configuration is such that the displacement of the base body 30 can be regulated, the regulating member 40 may not be provided with the second engaging portion 42. Also, the functional member 20 may be configured so that the functional part main body is detachable from the base member 21 when the base member 21 is engaged with the top plate slit hole 11s.

[0078] The functional member 20 can be designed to have a sense of moderation, stopping lightly at a certain angle when changing the horizontal orientation of the functional part main body relative to the base member 21. For example, it is possible to form recesses and protrusions at predetermined angles (60 degrees, 90 degrees, 120 degrees, etc.) on the outer surface of the supported part 22c and the inner surface of the supporting part 34, and to configure the protrusions to be inserted into the recesses at those angles. This makes it possible to easily keep the horizontal orientation of the functional part main body relative to the base member 21 at a predetermined position.

[0079] The functional member 20 can be configured to change the horizontal posture of the functional part main body and to allow displacement (swing displacement) in a direction intersecting the horizontal direction. For example, if the gap between the upper surface of the supported part 22c and the lower surface of the tabletop 11 is made larger than in this embodiment, the hook 22 can be swung and displaced in the front-rear direction (longitudinal direction of the tabletop slit hole 11s) as seen by the user. Furthermore, if the opening shape on the lower side of the support part 34 is made larger, the hook 22 can be swung and displaced in all directions. [Explanation of symbols]
