Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a desk. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, there has been known a desk in which a tabletop is supported by left and right legs (see, for example, Patent Document 1). The left and right legs of this desk have relatively heavy and large leg side panels, with stays and bases extending forward from above and below the leg side panels, and the rear ends of the leg side panels are connected by a top panel.

[0003] However, when the left and right legs include front and rear legs extending in the vertical direction, in order to ensure a certain level of strength capable of supporting the tabletop, a configuration has been adopted in which not only the left and right rear legs but also the left and right front legs are connected by cross members.

[0004] However, with such a configuration, a cross member is placed on the underside of the tabletop located between the left and right front legs, which not only narrows the space under the tabletop for the user's lower legs, but also makes it difficult to attach options such as drawers that would increase user convenience.

[0024] The left and right legs 2 are connected to the left and right sides of the underside of the tabletop 1 to support the tabletop 1. The left and right legs 2 are provided in pairs on the left and right. The left leg 2 and the right leg 2 are symmetrical in shape.

[0025] The left and right legs 2 each include a front leg 21 and a rear leg 22 which have a rectangular prism-like outer shape and extend in the vertical direction, a connecting frame 23 which also has a rectangular prism-like outer shape connecting the upper ends of the front leg 21 and the rear leg 22 and connecting to the underside of the tabletop 1, and a cantilever frame 24 which also has a rectangular prism-like outer shape and protrudes inward from the front of the connecting frame 23 like a cantilever beam and connects to the underside of the tabletop 1.

[0026] The front legs 21 are mainly made of metal square pipes extending linearly in the vertical direction. The front legs 21 are tilted downward so that they gradually move forward. An adjuster f is provided at the lower end of the front legs 21. The upper ends of the front legs 21 are covered by the tabletop 1. The inner surface of the upper ends of the front legs 21 is rigidly connected to the outer surface of the front end of the connecting frame 23.

[0027] The rear legs 22 are mainly made of metal square pipes extending linearly in the vertical direction. The rear legs 22 are oriented so as to extend in a substantially vertical direction. An adjuster f is provided at the lower end of the rear legs 22. The upper end of the rear legs 22 is covered by a cover body D. The inner surface of the upper end of the rear legs 22 is rigidly connected to the outer surface of the rear end of the connecting frame 23. Nut portions n3 are provided on the inner surface of the upper part of the rear legs 22 at two points, top and bottom, for attaching the connecting frame 3.

[0028] The connecting frame 23 is mainly made of metal square pipes extending linearly in the front-rear direction. The vertical width of the connecting frame 23 is set to be longer than the horizontal width. The upper surface of the connecting frame 23 is adapted to be attached to the lower surface of the tabletop 1.

[0029] The outer surface of the front end of the connecting frame 23 is rigidly connected to the inner surface of the upper end of the front leg 21. The outer surface of the rear end of the connecting frame 23 is rigidly connected to the inner surface of the upper end of the rear leg 22. The connecting frame 23 is provided with screw insertion holes h1 penetrating in the vertical direction at two locations, the front and rear. The legs 2 are attached to the tabletop 1 by screwing the screws v1 inserted into the screw insertion holes h1 of the connecting frame 23 into the nuts n1 provided on the tabletop 1.

[0030] A cantilever frame 24 is connected to the front end of the connecting frame 23 so that the internal space of the connecting frame 23 cannot be seen. A panel main body 31 of the connecting frame 3 is disposed on the back side of the rear end of the connecting frame 23 with a gap therebetween.

[0031] The cantilever frame 24 is mainly composed of a metal square pipe material extending linearly in the left-right direction. The cantilever frame 24 protrudes inward from the front end of the connecting frame 23, i.e., toward the middle part of the desk in the left-right direction. The upper surface of the cantilever frame 24 is adapted to be in contact with the lower surface of the tabletop 1. The base end, i.e., the outer end, of the cantilever frame 24 is rigidly connected to the front end of the connecting frame 23.

[0032] The cantilever frame 24 is attached at approximately the center in the front-rear direction on the underside of the tabletop 1. Therefore, the cantilever frame 24 exerts a balanced function of preventing the tabletop 1 from bending as a whole.

[0033] A cap Q is attached to the tip of the cantilever frame 24. The base end of the cap Q is fitted into the opening of the cantilever frame 24, and an inclined surface q1 facing diagonally downward is provided at the tip.

[0034] Screw insertion holes h2 penetrating in the vertical direction are provided at two locations on the left and right sides of the cantilever frame 24. The legs 2 are attached to the tabletop 1 by screwing a screw v2 inserted into the screw insertion hole h2 of the cantilever frame 24 into a nut portion n2 provided on the tabletop 1. As shown in Fig. 12, a screw insertion hole h2a penetrating in the vertical direction, through which the screw v2 is inserted, is also provided at the base end of the cap Q.

[0035] In this embodiment, the longitudinal dimension w2 of the cantilever frame 24 is set to be shorter than the longitudinal dimension w3 of the connecting frame 23. More specifically, the left-right dimension w2 of the cantilever frame 24 is set to be half or less of the front-rear dimension w3 of the connecting frame 23 (more specifically, about one-third the length of the front-rear dimension of the connecting frame 23).

[0036] The connecting member 3 connects the rear parts of the left and right legs 2. The connecting member 3 is formed by bending a metal plate. The connecting member 3 includes a fascia 3A arranged on the opposite side of the table top 1 to the end edge 1e opposite to the use edge.

[0037] The connecting frame 3 comprises a fascia panel 3A, a wiring guide groove forming portion 3B extending forward from the upper end of the fascia panel 3A and capable of forming a wiring guide groove C, and a shelf panel 3C extending forward from the lower end of the fascia panel 3A and having an upper surface which serves as a mounting surface 35s on which items such as wiring (not shown) can be placed.

[0038] The skirting board 3A comprises a skirting board main body 31 which is in the form of an upright board and has an approximately rectangular shape when viewed from the rear, and a connecting plate 32 which extends forward from both side ends of the skirting board main body 31 and is approximately perpendicular to the skirting board main body 31 and connected to the rear leg 22.

[0039] The skirting board main body 31 is disposed so as to fill the gap between the upper portions of the left and right rear legs 22. Notches i capable of positioning the cover body D are formed at the left and right upper corners of the skirting board main body 31. The connecting plate 32 is provided with screw insertion holes h3 at two locations, top and bottom. The left and right legs 2 and the connecting frame 3 are connected by screwing a screw v3 inserted through the screw insertion hole h3 in the connecting plate 32 into a nut portion n3 provided in the rear leg 22.

[0040] The wiring guide groove forming portion 3B comprises a rear groove wall 33 extending downward and forward from the upper end of the front panel main body 31, and a bottom groove wall 34 extending approximately horizontally from the lower end of the rear groove wall 33 toward the front.

[0041] The rear groove wall 33 is inclined backward. That is, a front surface 33s of the rear groove wall 33 is inclined so as to be positioned gradually upward toward the rear.

[0042] The bottom groove wall 34 has three notches 34a at the left-right center and at both left and right ends for vertical communication of wiring. The front end of the bottom groove wall 34 has a plurality of screw insertion holes h4 penetrating vertically. The connecting frame 3 and the top plate 1 are connected by screwing a screw v4 inserted through the screw insertion hole h4 of the bottom groove wall 34 into a nut n4 provided at the rear end of the top plate 1.

[0043] The shelf board 3C includes a shelf board body 35 having a mounting surface 35s facing upward, and an upright wall 36 for preventing items from falling, which is erected at the front end of the shelf board body 35. The shelf board 3C is designed so that some of the wiring, which is mainly an item, can be placed on the mounting surface 35s.

[0044] The wiring guide groove C is provided along the upper end of the top panel 3A and opens upward. The wiring guide groove C is always open upward except for the portion where the movable member B is disposed. The wiring guide groove C includes the counter-use edge 1e of the top panel 1, which is a front groove wall having a rearward surface and extending in the left-right direction, the rear groove wall 33 of the connecting frame 3, which is disposed rearward of the counter-use edge 1e of the top panel 1 and has a forward surface 33s and extends in the left-right direction, and the bottom groove wall 34 of the connecting frame 3, which has an upward surface 34s and is disposed between the lower end of the counter-use edge 1e of the top panel 1 and the rear groove wall 33. Both left and right ends of the wiring guide groove C are closed by cover bodies D, respectively.

[0045] 3, for example, a movable member B is disposed in the wire guide groove C so as to be movable in the left-right direction, i.e., along the longitudinal direction of the wire guide groove C. In order to allow the movable member B to be disposed in the wire guide groove C without rattling, a separation dimension w1 between the rear surface of the top plate 1 and the front surface 33s of the rear groove wall 33, which constitute the wire guide groove C, is configured to gradually increase upward.

[0046] The cover body D is in the shape of a box that is open downward. The cover body D covers the upper end of the rear leg 22 and can cover both side portions of the wire guide groove C.

[0047] The cover body D comprises a top wall d1, a front wall d2 extending downward from the front end of the top wall d1, a rear wall d3 extending downward from the rear end of the top wall d1, an outer wall d4 connecting the outer ends of the front wall d2 and the rear wall d3, and an inner wall d5 connecting the inner ends of the front wall d2 and the rear wall d3.

[0048] As shown particularly in FIGS. 14 to 16, the lower end of the front wall d2 is provided with an engagement portion k1 that protrudes forward and can engage with the underside of the side end portion at the rear end of the top plate 1.

[0049] As shown in Figure 15, the lower end of the rear wall d3 is provided with two positioning protrusions d31 that protrude downward and can engage with the inner surface of the upper end of the rear leg 22, and a positioning protrusion d32 that protrudes downward and can engage with the inner surface of the rear end of the connecting frame 23.

[0050] 10 and 15, a protrusion k2 is provided at the rear of the inner wall d5, which protrudes inward, i.e., toward the center of the desk in the left-right direction, and is inserted into an insertion hole G formed by the outer edge of the upper end of the back panel main body 31 and the outer edge of the rear groove wall 33. A protrusion d51 is provided at the lower edge of the inner wall d5, which protrudes downward and can engage with the inner edge of the upper end of the connecting frame 23.

[0051] The cover body D is positioned on the rear legs 22 and the connecting frame 23 by the engagement portion k1 engaging with the top plate 1, the positioning protrusions d31 and d32 engaging with the rear legs 22 and the connecting frame 23, the convex edge d51 engaging with the connecting frame 23, and the convex portion k2 being inserted into the insertion hole G. An inclined surface d5s is formed on the inner wall d5 of the cover body D, which is inclined so as to be positioned gradually upward toward the outside. The inclined surface d5s functions as a closing surface that closes both longitudinal ends of the wire guiding groove C, improving the design of both ends of the wire guiding groove C.

[0052] The movable member B is made of synthetic resin. In this embodiment, a plurality of movable members B, i.e., two movable members B, are arranged in the wire guide groove C, but the number of movable members B may be one or more than two.

[0053] The movable member B includes an upward surface b1s that is substantially flush with the upper surface 1s of the tabletop 1, a functional part J having a recessed portion b3 adjacent to the upward surface b1s and recessed downward so as to support an article, such as a smartphone P, in an upright position using the recessed portion b3, and a tunnel forming part b23 that is located below the upward surface b1s, has an upwardly recessed shape, and can form a tunnel T in cooperation with the bottom groove wall 34 of the wiring guide groove C.

[0054] The movable member B is mainly composed of an upper wall b1 having an upward surface b1s, left and right hanging walls b2 hanging down from both left and right end portions of the upper wall b1, a recessed portion b3 formed by an upward U-shaped wall provided at the front end portion of the upper wall b1, and a front wall b4 arranged in front of the recessed portion b3, and is reinforced by a plurality of ribs rb.

[0055] The upper wall b1 has an upward surface b1s and is rectangular in plan view. A plurality of ribs rb extending in the left-right and front-rear directions are provided on the bottom surface side of the upper wall b1.

[0056] The left and right hanging walls b2 have lower edges b21 that can contact the bottom groove wall 34 of the wire guide groove C. The left and right hanging walls b2 are inclined such that the rear edges b22 are positioned gradually forward as they extend downward. The rear edges b22 of the left and right hanging walls b2 are adapted to engage with the forward facing surface 33s of the rear groove wall 33 that constitutes the wire guide groove C. In other words, the movable member B has the rear edges b22 of the left and right hanging walls b2, which are rear engagement portions that can engage with the rear groove wall 33.

[0057] A tunnel forming portion b23 having an upwardly concave shape is provided in the middle of the left and right hanging walls b2 in the front-rear direction. The tunnel forming portion b23 cooperates with the bottom groove wall 34 of the wire guide groove C to form a tunnel T that can communicate the wires placed on the bottom groove wall 34 in the left-right direction.

[0058] The functional part J is provided in front of the upward surface b1s and has a recessed portion b3 that is recessed downward and extends in the left-right direction. The functional part J is capable of supporting various objects (mainly roughly plate-shaped objects) in an upright position by utilizing the recessed portion b3. For example, as shown in FIG. 17, by engaging the lower end of the smartphone P with the recessed portion b3 of the functional part J, the smartphone P can be supported in an upright position that provides excellent viewability for the user.

[0059] The front wall b4 is located at the front end and stands up in a substantially vertical direction. The front surface b4s of the front wall b4 is adapted to engage with the opposite usable edge 1e of the top plate 1, which is the front groove wall. In other words, the movable member B has the front surface b4s of the front wall b4, which is a front engagement portion, that can engage with the opposite usable edge 1e of the top plate 1, which is the front groove wall.

[0060] The movable member B is capable of forming an expandable placement surface on which an article can be placed. That is, the upper surface 1s of the tabletop 1 and the upward surface b1s of the movable member B cooperate to form a placement surface on which an article can be placed. In other words, the movable member B is capable of expanding the area on which an article can be placed beyond the opposite usable edge e1 of the tabletop 1.

[0061] For example, the one shown in Figure 18 is designed so that by cooperating two movable members B arranged in a wiring guide groove C with the rear part of the tabletop 1 adjacent to these two movable members B, the display M of a personal computer, which is an item, can be positioned behind the rear edge of the tabletop 1.

[0062] As described above, the desk according to this embodiment includes a top plate 1, left and right leg bodies 2 that are provided in a pair on the left and right sides and can support the top plate 1, and a connecting member 3 that connects the rear portions of the left and right leg bodies 2. The left and right leg bodies 2 include front legs 21 and rear legs 22 that extend in the vertical direction, a connecting frame 23 that connects the upper ends of the front legs 21 and rear legs 22 and is connected to the underside of the top plate 1, and a cantilever frame 24 that protrudes inward from the front portion of the connecting frame 23 like a cantilever and is connected to the underside of the top plate 1.

[0063] Therefore, it is possible to provide a desk that can appropriately secure a space under the top board 1 located between the front legs 21 extending in the vertical direction.

[0064] In other words, since the tabletop 1 is supported by the cantilever frame 24 that protrudes in a cantilever shape from the front of the connecting frame 23, it is possible to adequately secure space for the user's lower legs. Moreover, with this configuration, it is easy to attach options such as drawers to the underside of the tabletop 1 without being hindered by reinforcing beams or cross members.

[0065] The connecting frame 3 is formed by bending a metal plate material, and includes a fascia 3A arranged on the side of the table top 1 opposite the use edge 1e.

[0066] Therefore, the left and right legs 2 are suitably supported by the connecting frame 3 including the top panel 3A.

[0067] The front panel 3A includes a front panel body 31 having an upright plate shape, and connecting plates 32 extending forward from both ends of the front panel body 31 and connecting to the rear legs 22.

[0068] For this reason, the top panel 3A can be suitably attached to the left and right rear legs 22.

[0069] A wiring guide groove C that opens upward is provided on the opposite end edge 1e of the top plate 1. The connecting frame 3 includes a top panel 3A, a wiring guide groove forming portion 3B that extends from the upper end of the top panel 3A and can form the wiring guide groove C, and a shelf board 3C that extends forward from the lower end of the top panel 3A and can place an article on its upper surface.

[0070] For this reason, the connecting frame 3 has excellent strength capable of connecting the left and right leg bodies 2, since the fascia 3A, the wiring guide groove forming portion 3B, and the shelf board 3C are integrally constructed from metal plate material.

[0071] The tabletop 1 has a rectangular shape extending in the left-right direction in a plan view, which allows for excellent design freedom so that the cantilever frame 24 does not interfere with the space for the lower legs under the tabletop 1.

[0072] A plurality of screw insertion holes h1, h2 are provided in the connecting frame 23 and the cantilever frame 24, penetrating in the vertical direction. The top plate 1 is attached to the leg body 2 by screwing the screws v1, v2 inserted in the screw insertion holes h1, h2 into the nuts n1, n2 provided in the top plate 1. Therefore, by screwing the connecting frame 23 and the cantilever frame 24 to the tabletop 1, the left and right legs 2 can favorably support the tabletop 1.

[0073] A cap Q is attached to the inner end of the cantilever frame 24. This makes it possible to improve the appearance of the cantilever frame 24.

[0074] The longitudinal dimension of the cantilever frame 24 is set shorter than the longitudinal dimension of the connecting frame 23. Therefore, the cantilever frame 24 has a relatively short dimension, and can appropriately secure space for the user's lower legs.

[0075] It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the embodiment described above in detail.

[0076] The cantilever frame need only protrude from the front of the connecting frame, and does not necessarily have to protrude from the front end.

[0077] The connecting frame is not limited to one formed by bending a metal plate material.

[0078] The left and right legs may be any type that extends in the vertical direction, and their specific configurations may be set in various ways.

[0079] Furthermore, the specific configuration of each part is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications are possible without departing from the spirit of the present invention. [Explanation of symbols]
