[0013] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a fixture 1 with a tabletop according to one embodiment. 1 includes a pair of extendable legs 2, a support structure 3, and a top 4. The top 4 includes a fixed top 4A that cannot tilt relative to the support structure 3, and a tiltable top 4B that can tilt relative to the support structure 3.
[0014] The pair of telescopic legs 2 are spaced apart from each other. Hereinafter, the direction in which the pair of telescopic legs 2 are spaced apart is referred to as the width direction (arrow LH indicates the left side). The direction in which the pair of telescopic legs 2 extend and retract is referred to as the height direction (arrow UP indicates the upper side). The direction perpendicular to the width direction and height direction is referred to as the depth direction (arrow FR indicates the front side).
[0015] The pair of telescopic legs 2 are configured to be extendable in the height direction. The pair of telescopic legs 2 are formed of multiple cylindrical bodies nested inside each other (telescopic shape), and house a telescopic mechanism (e.g., a cylinder mechanism, a rack and pinion mechanism, a ball screw mechanism, etc.) inside. A grounding part 21 is provided at the lower end of the pair of telescopic legs 2.
[0016] The grounding portion 21 extends on both sides in the depth direction from the lower end of the telescopic leg 2. The grounding portion 21 has a first end 21a that is grounded on the floor surface on the front side in the depth direction relative to the telescopic leg 2, and a second end 21b that is grounded on the floor surface on the back side in the depth direction relative to the telescopic leg 2. The first end 21a and the second end 21b are pads with adjusters whose height can be adjusted by a screw (not shown).
[0017] A support structure 3 is supported on the upper ends 2a of the pair of telescopic legs 2. A fixed top plate 4A and a tilting top plate 4B are supported on the support structure 3. The fixed top plate 4A has a first portion 41 that is disposed on the rear side of the tilting top plate 4B in the depth direction with a gap therebetween, and a second portion 42 that extends from the first portion 41 to the front side in the depth direction and is disposed on one side (right side) in the width direction of the tilting top plate 4B with a gap therebetween.
[0018] The table top 4, including the fixed table top 4A and the tiltable table top 4B, is formed into a rectangular shape in plan view extending in the width direction as a whole. The tiltable table top 4B is formed into a rectangular shape in plan view and is disposed on the near side in the depth direction and on the other side (left side) in the width direction of the table top 4. The fixed table top 4A is formed into an L shape in plan view so as to surround the far side in the depth direction and the right side in the width direction of the tiltable table top 4B.
[0019] For example, a notebook computer can be placed on the tilting top 4B. For example, a lighting fixture can be placed on the first portion 41 of the fixed top 4A. For example, a drink, a memo pad, a writing implement, a mobile phone, etc. can be placed on the second portion 42 of the fixed top 4A.
[0020] FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the furniture with a top 1 in a state in which the tiltable top 4B according to one embodiment is tilted. As shown in Figure 2, in the display unit with tabletop 1, only the tiltable tabletop 4B tilts partially, so when items such as drinks or lighting fixtures are placed on the fixed tabletop 4A, there is no need to rearrange the items placed on the fixed tabletop 4A in accordance with the tilt of the tiltable tabletop 4B.
[0021] Fig. 3 is an exploded perspective view of the fixture 1 with a top plate according to one embodiment. Fig. 4 is a front view of the fixture 1 with a top plate according to one embodiment. Fig. 5 is a bottom view of the fixture 1 with a top plate according to one embodiment. Fig. 6 is a left side view of the fixture 1 with a top plate according to one embodiment. Fig. 7 is a cross-sectional view taken along line VII-VII shown in Fig. 5. As shown in FIG. 3, the support structure 3 includes a first support portion 30A to which a fixed top plate 4A is attached so as not to be able to tilt, and a second support portion 30B to which a tiltable top plate 4B is attached so as to be able to tilt.
[0022] The support structure 3 is formed in a rectangular frame shape in a plan view. The support structure 3 includes tabletop support members 31 provided at the upper ends 2a of the pair of telescopic legs 2, and connecting members 32 that connect the tabletop support members 31. The tabletop support members 31 extend in the depth direction and are provided in a pair with a gap in the width direction. The connecting members 32 extend in the width direction and are provided in a pair with a gap in the depth direction.
[0023] The tabletop support members 31 extend on both sides in the depth direction from the upper ends 2a of the telescopic legs 2. The connecting member 32 connects the front ends of the pair of tabletop support members 31 in the depth direction in the width direction, and also connects the rear ends of the pair of tabletop support members 31 in the depth direction in the width direction. In other words, the tabletop support members 31 (first support parts 30A) extend on both sides in the depth direction from the telescopic legs 2, and the connecting members 32 are connected to each tabletop support member 31 at the same position in the depth direction.
[0024] The tabletop support member 31 has a lower portion 31a disposed directly above the upper end portion 2a of the telescopic leg 2, and an upper portion 31b overlapping the inner region in the width direction of the lower portion 31a in plan view and extending on both sides in the depth direction. A plurality of first fixing holes 31c for fixing to the upper end portion 2a of the telescopic leg 2 are formed in the regions of the lower portion 31a and the upper portion 31b overlapping with the upper end portion 2a of the telescopic leg 2 in plan view.
[0025] A pair of second fixing holes 31d for fixing the fixed top 4A are formed at both ends in the depth direction of the upper portion 31b of the top support member 31. The fixed top 4A is attached to the second fixing holes 31d so that it cannot tilt. In other words, the top support member 31 forms the first support part 30A. In this embodiment, the second fixing hole 31d arranged at the end on the front side in the depth direction of the top support member 31 arranged on the left side in the width direction is not used because the tilting top 4B overlaps it.
[0026] The fixed top plate 4A is supported by the rear end in the depth direction of the top plate support member 31 arranged on the left side in the width direction, the connecting member 32 arranged on the rear side in the depth direction, the top plate support member 31 arranged on the right side in the width direction, and the right end in the width direction of the connecting member 32 arranged on the front side in the depth direction.
[0027] The tilting top 4B overlaps in a horizontal state (initial position) with the top support member 31 arranged on the left side in the width direction, excluding the end on the far side in the depth direction, and is tiltably attached to multiple second support parts 30B of the connecting member 32 arranged on the near side in the depth direction. This tilting top 4B can be displaced into a position where it overlaps with the upper end 2a on one side (the left side) of the pair of telescopic legs 2.
[0028] 4, in the first support part 30A, a space 31f is formed at least in the outer region in the width direction of the region where the tilting top board 4B overlaps with the upper end part 2a, the space 31f being spaced apart from the lower surface of the tilting top board 4B. The space 31f is a space formed by the step between the lower part 31a and the upper part 31b of the top board support member 31 described above.
[0029] The space 31f prevents a user's fingers from getting pinched when he or she places a hand on the left end of the tilting top 4B in the width direction. The upper part 31b of the top support member 31 may be located, for example, about 60 mm inward from the left end of the tilting top 4B in the width direction. The lower part 31a of the top support member 31 may be located, for example, about 25 mm below the underside of the tilting top 4B.
[0030] As shown in FIG. 3, the second support portion 30B is disposed at a position different from the first support portion 30A (top board support member 31) in the width direction. Specifically, the second support portion 30B is disposed between the first support portions 30A (top board support members 31) in the width direction. The second support portion 30B is provided at a position separated from the first support portion 30A in the connecting member 32. The second support portion 30B only needs to be separated from the first support portion 30A, and does not directly receive a load or the like from the first support portion 30A when even a slight mismatch occurs in the height or inclination between the telescopic legs 2 as described later. In other words, the second support portion 30B may be in contact with the first support portion 30A as long as it is separated from the first support portion 30A. Furthermore, the second support portion 30B may be disposed on the outer side in the width direction with respect to the upper ends 2a of the pair of telescopic legs 2. The second support portion 30B includes a front support portion 33 that extends from the connecting member 32 to the front side in the depth direction and is attached to the tilting top plate 4B, and a rear support portion 34 that extends from the connecting member 32 to the rear side in the depth direction and is attached to the tilting top plate 4B.
[0031] The front support parts 33 are provided in a pair with a gap in the width direction on the surface of the connecting member 32 facing the front side in the depth direction. The back support part 34 is provided in the middle part of the pair of front support parts 33 in the width direction on the surface of the connecting member 32 facing the rear side in the depth direction. The front support part 33 is located closer to the front in the depth direction than the pair of telescopic legs 2, and supports the front side of the middle part in the depth direction of the tilting top board 4B.
[0032] The front support part 33 includes an arm body 33a fixed to a surface of the connecting member 32 facing the front side in the depth direction, and an arm tip 33b attached so as to be tiltable about an axis extending in the width direction relative to the arm body 33a. A plurality of body side fixing holes 33c for fixing to the connecting member 32 are formed in the arm body 33a. The arm body 33a extends from the connecting member 32 to the front side in the depth direction.
[0033] As shown in Fig. 5, the arm tip 33b is formed with a plurality of tip fixing holes 33d for fixing to the underside of the tilting top 4B. As shown in Fig. 7, the arm tip 33b is connected to a pivot 33e provided on the arm body 33a so as to be tiltable downward from a horizontal position. The pivot 33e extends from the arm body 33a to both sides in the width direction. The arm tip 33b is provided with a pair of bearing holes that engage with the pivot 33e extending to both sides in the width direction.
[0034] The pivot 33e is located closer to the front in the depth direction than the pair of telescopic legs 2, and pivotally supports the front side of the tilting top 4B in the depth direction so that it can tilt. The front support part 33 extends like an arm closer to the front side in the depth direction than the pair of telescopic legs 2. The ground contact part 21 has a first end 21a located closer to the front in the depth direction than the arm tip 33b of the front support part 33 to prevent the top-mounted furniture 1 from falling over. The ground contact part 21 also has a second end 21b located further back than the rear end of the tilting top 4B in the depth direction.
[0035] The rear support part 34 is provided with a gas spring 34c (expandable part) that expands and contracts in response to the tilt of the tilting top 4B around the pivot 33e. The gas spring 34c pushes the rear side of the tilting top 4B upward, assisting the tilt of the tilting top 4B. In addition, as shown in Fig. 5, the rear support part 34 is provided with a tension spring 34d (expandable part) that expands in response to the expansion of the gas spring 34c. The tension spring 34d urges the rear side of the tilting top 4B downward, preventing vibration of the tilting top 4B when tilting, and assisting the return of the tilting top 4B to the horizontal position.
[0036] The rear support part 34 includes a first fixing part 34a fixed to a surface of the connecting member 32 facing the rear side in the depth direction, and a second fixing part 34b fixed to the tilting top plate 4B. The first fixing part 34a has a plurality of fixing holes 34e for fixing to the connecting member 32. The second fixing part 34b has a plurality of fixing holes 34f for fixing to the tilting top plate 4B.
[0037] The first fixed portion 34a supports one end of the gas spring 34c in the longitudinal direction so as to be rotatable about an axis extending in the width direction. The second fixed portion 34b supports the other end of the gas spring 34c in the longitudinal direction so as to be rotatable about an axis extending in the width direction. The tension spring 34d is installed between the first fixed portion 34a and the second fixed portion 34b and extends parallel to the gas spring 34c.
[0038] 5, an electric system support member 5 is provided on the underside of the fixed top plate 4A. A control unit 6 that controls the drive units 22 of the pair of telescopic legs 2, various cables connected to the control unit 6, and the like are supported on the electric system support member 5. A pair of electric system support members 5 are provided on the underside of the fixed top plate 4A with a gap between them in the width direction.
[0039] The electric system support member 5 is located on the underside of the fixed top plate 4A further in the depth direction than the pair of extendable legs 2 and the connecting member 32, which is located on the further side in the depth direction. The electric system support member 5 is attached to the first part 41 of the fixed top plate 4A. As shown in Fig. 7, there is a gap between the tilting top plate 4B and the first part 41, but only the connecting member 32 is visible from the gap, and the electric system support member 5 is not visible.
[0040] As shown in Fig. 6, the electrical system support member 5 has a rear opening 50 that opens toward the rear in the depth direction on the underside of the fixed top plate 4A. As shown in Fig. 7, the electrical system support member 5 is bent in a crank shape and has a connected part 51 connected to the underside of the top plate 4, a hanging part 52 hanging from the connected part, and an extension part 53 extending from the hanging part 52 to the rear side in the depth direction.
[0041] As shown in Fig. 5, connected portion 51 has a plurality of connecting holes 51a for connecting to fixed top plate 4A. As shown in Fig. 7, vertical portion 52 extends downward beyond the lower end of connecting member 32. Extended portion 53 includes protrusion 53a extending in the width direction and tip portion 53b warped obliquely upward toward the lower surface of fixed top plate 4A.
[0042] 5, both sides of the electric system support member 5 in the width direction are open, allowing cables and the like to extend therefrom. The cables extending from the control unit 6 extend from both sides of the electric system support member 5 in the width direction, pass through cable guide grooves 31i formed in the lower surface of the tabletop support member 31, enter the interior from the upper ends 2a of the telescopic legs 2, and are connected to the drive units 22 inside the telescopic legs 2.
[0043] An operation section 61 for operating the control unit 6 is disposed at the front end in the depth direction on the underside of the fixed top 4A. The operation section 61 may be connected to the control unit 6 wirelessly or by wire. The operation section 61 may be provided with a button for unlocking the gas spring 34c. The button for unlocking the gas spring 34c may be provided on the handle section 43 disposed at the front end in the depth direction on the underside of the tilting top 4B.
[0044] According to the above-mentioned structure of the tabletop-equipped furniture 1, as shown in FIG. 3, the fixed tabletop 4A attached to the first support portion 30A of the upper end portion 2a of each of the pair of telescopic legs 2 can suppress the widthwise deviation of the pair of telescopic legs 2. In addition, since the second support portion 30B is provided at a position different in the width direction from the first support portion 30A, and the tiltable tabletop 4B is attached to this second support portion 30B, even if the lifting and lowering operation of the pair of telescopic legs 2 varies between the left and right, the moment load does not directly act on the second support portion 30B from the telescopic legs 2. Therefore, the tiltable tabletop 4B is unlikely to have a strength problem and can maintain its tilting function for a long time. In addition, as shown in FIG. 2, the fixed tabletop 4A, which does not tilt, can be used easily because it is possible to place items such as drinks and lighting equipment.
[0045] In this way, according to the display fixture with a tabletop 1 of this embodiment, it has a pair of telescopic legs 2 that are spaced apart in the width direction and can be extended or retracted in the height direction, a first support part 30A provided on the upper end part 2a of each of the pair of telescopic legs 2, a second support part 30B provided at a different position in the width direction from the first support part 30A, a fixed tabletop 4A attached so that it cannot be tilted relative to the first support part 30A, and a tiltable tabletop 4B attached so that it can be tilted relative to the second support part 30B.By adopting this configuration, the tilting function of the tiltable tabletop 4B can be maintained for a long period of time.
[0046] In this embodiment, a connecting member 32 is provided to connect the first support parts 30A of each of the pair of telescopic legs 2, and the second support parts 30B are provided on the connecting member 32. According to this configuration, the fixed top board 4A is attached to the first support parts 30A provided on each of the upper ends 2a of the pair of telescopic legs 2. Furthermore, the tilting top board 4B is attached to the second support parts 30B provided on the connecting member 32. Since the fixed top board 4A is fixed to each of the pair of telescopic legs 2 via the first support parts 30A, even if there is a slight misalignment in height or inclination between the telescopic legs 2, a stress corresponding to the misalignment may be generated between the fixed top board 4A and each first support part 30A. On the other hand, since the tilting top board 4B is fixed to the connecting member 32 that connects the first supporting parts 30A via the second supporting part 30B, even if there is a slight misalignment in height or inclination between the telescopic legs 2, the connecting member 32 is displaced according to the misalignment, and the second supporting part 30B is also displaced according to the displacement of the connecting member 32, so it is possible to prevent stress caused by the misalignment between the tilting top board 4B and the second supporting part 30B. This makes it possible to prevent the load on the second supporting part 30B that supports the tiltable top board 4B so that it can tilt from becoming excessive.
[0047] 3, in this embodiment, the second support part 30B includes a front support part 33 that extends from the connecting member 32 to the front side in the depth direction and is attached to the tilting top board 4B, and a rear support part 34 that extends from the connecting member 32 to the rear side in the depth direction and is attached to the tilting top board 4B. With this configuration, the connecting member 32 is provided with separate elements that support the front and rear sides of the tilting top board 4B, so that the tilting top board 4B can be firmly supported.
[0048] In this embodiment, as shown in Fig. 7, the front support part 33 has a pivot 33e which is the rotation center of the tilt of the tilting top 4B, and the back support part 34 has an expandable part (gas spring 34c and tension spring 34d) which can expand and contract according to the tilt of the tilting top 4B around the pivot 33e. With this configuration, by providing the pivot 33e in the front support part 33, the rattle felt by the user who places his / her arm on the front end of the tilting top 4B during normal use of the tilting top 4B is reduced. In addition, the amount of displacement of the back end of the tilting top 4B is relatively larger than that of the front end, but by providing the expandable part in the back support part 34, the tilting top 4B can be stably supported regardless of the height of the back end of the tilting top 4B.
[0049] In this embodiment, the extension / contraction section includes a gas spring 34c that pushes the rear side of the tilting top 4B upward, and a tension spring 34d that extends in response to the extension of the gas spring 34c and urges the rear side of the tilting top 4B downward. With this configuration, the gas spring 34c is provided in the extension / contraction section to assist the tilting of the tilting top 4B. Furthermore, the tension spring 34d is provided in the extension / contraction section to reduce rattling during tilting of the tilting top 4B by the tension of the tension spring 34d. Furthermore, the tension spring 34d is provided in the extension / contraction section to reduce the operating force required to return the tilting top 4B to the horizontal state (initial position).
[0050] 3 and 5, in this embodiment, the front support part 33 is provided on a surface of the connecting member 32 facing the front side in the depth direction, and the back support part 34 is provided on a surface of the connecting member 32 facing the back side in the depth direction. With this configuration, the front support part 33 and the back support part 34 are disposed at different positions on the connecting member 32, so that interference between the two support parts during operation can be avoided.
[0051] In this embodiment, as shown in Fig. 3, the tilting top 4B can be displaced to a position overlapping at least one of the upper ends 2a of the pair of telescopic legs 2, and the first support portion 30A has a space 31f formed therein that is spaced apart from the underside of the tilting top 4B at least in the outer widthwise region of the region where the tilting top 4B overlaps with the upper ends 2a, as shown in Fig. 4. With this configuration, even if a user places his / her hand on the outer widthwise end of the tilting top 4B, the user's fingers can be prevented from being pinched between the upper ends 2a of the telescopic legs 2 and the tilting top 4B.
[0052] 1 and 2, the fixed top 4A includes a first portion 41 that is disposed on the rear side of the tilting top 4B in the depth direction with a gap between the first portion 41 and the tilting top 4B, and a second portion 42 that extends from the first portion 41 to the front side in the depth direction and is disposed on at least one side in the width direction of the tilting top 4B with a gap between the first portion 41 and the tilting top 4B. With this configuration, for example, a lighting fixture can be placed on the first portion 41 of the fixed top 4A, and a drink or the like can be placed on the second portion 42 of the fixed top 4A. In the furniture with a top 1, since only the tilting top 4B partially tilts, by placing items such as a drink or a lighting fixture on the fixed top 4A, it is not necessary to rearrange the items placed on the fixed top 4A in accordance with the tilt of the tilting top 4B.
[0053] Next, an example of this embodiment will be described. In the following description, the same reference numerals are used to designate the same or equivalent components as those in the above-described embodiment, and the description thereof will be simplified or omitted.
[0054] FIG. 8 is a perspective view of a furniture unit 1 with a tabletop according to one embodiment. The furniture with a top 1 shown in Fig. 8 has a booth section 7 that can be raised and lowered together with the top 4 by a pair of extendable legs 2. The booth section 7 is attached to a first portion 41 of the fixed top 4A. The booth section 7 surrounds at least both sides of the first portion 41 in the width direction, the far side of the first portion 41 in the depth direction, and the upper side of the first portion 41 in the height direction.
[0055] FIG. 9 is an exploded perspective view of the booth unit 7 according to one embodiment. As shown in FIG. 9, the booth section 7 can be separated into a pair of side panels 71, 72 that surround both widthwise sides of the first section 41, a back panel 73 that surrounds the rear side of the first section 41 in the depth direction, and a roof panel 74 that surrounds the upper side of the first section 41 in the height direction.
[0056] The side panel 71 is disposed on the left side in the width direction of the top board 4, and includes a side wall portion 71a extending in the height direction, and a bent portion 71b bent from the upper end of the side wall portion 71a to the right in the width direction. The other side panel 72 is disposed on the right side in the width direction of the top board 4, and includes a side wall portion 72a extending in the height direction, and a bent portion 72b bent from the upper end of the side wall portion 72a to the left in the width direction.
[0057] The roof panel 74 is formed in a rectangular plate shape extending in the width direction. A pair of strength members 75 are provided penetrating the roof panel 74 in the width direction. The pair of strength members 75 are, for example, metal materials having a U-shape in cross section. On both sides of the roof panel 74 in the width direction, protrusions 75a, 75b are formed from which the pair of strength members 75 protrude.
[0058] A recess 72d is formed in the bent portion 72b of the side panel 72, into which the protrusion 75a of the roof panel 74 can be inserted. A fixing hole 72c is formed in the bent portion 72b for fixing the protrusion 75a inserted into the recess 72d. A recess 71d is also formed in the bent portion 71b of the side panel 71, into which the protrusion 75b of the roof panel 74 can be inserted. A fixing hole 71c is also formed in the bent portion 71b, into which the protrusion 75b of the roof panel 74 can be inserted.
[0059] A plurality of grooves 73a extending in the height direction are formed at intervals in the width direction on the back panel 73. The back panel 73 is provided with a mounting plate 73b below the grooves 73a. The side panels 71, 72 are attached to a first attachment member 81 attached to both ends in the width direction of the fixed top plate 4A. The back panel 73 is attached to a second attachment member 82 attached to the end on the far side in the depth direction of the fixed top plate 4A.
[0060] FIG. 10 is a perspective view of a fixture 1 with a tabletop according to one embodiment, viewed from the bottom side. 10, the first mounting member 81 includes a fixing portion 81a fixed to the lower surface of the fixed top plate 4A and a connecting portion 81b connected to the side panel 71 (side panel 72). A plurality of connecting holes 81c are formed in the connecting portion 81b at intervals in the height direction.
[0061] The second mounting member 82 includes a fixing portion 82a fixed to the lower surface of the fixed top plate 4A and a connecting portion 81b connected to the side panel 71 (side panel 72). The connecting portion 81b has a plurality of connecting holes 81c formed at intervals in the height direction. The fixing portion 82a of the second mounting member 82 has a longer length in contact with the lower surface of the fixed top plate 4A than the fixing portion 81a of the first mounting member 81.
[0062] According to the above embodiment, the height of the booth section 7 can be made adjustable. A gap may be provided between the back panel 73 and the roof panel 74 to allow external light to enter the inside of the booth section 7. The side panels 71 and 72 may be separated from the back panel 73, and the upper end of the back panel 73 may be connected to the lower end of the roof panel 74. The side panels 71 and 72, the back panel 73, and the roof panel 74 may all be connected to each other.
[0063] Next, a modification of this embodiment will be described. In the following description, the same or equivalent components as those in the above-described embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be simplified or omitted.
[0064] FIG. 11 is a perspective view of a fixture 1 with a tabletop according to one modified example. In the tabletop-equipped furniture 1 shown in Fig. 11, the fixed tabletop 4A is provided with a pair of second portions 42 arranged on both sides in the width direction of the tiltable tabletop 4B. That is, the fixed tabletop 4A is formed in a U-shape in a plan view. This configuration increases convenience since articles can be placed on both sides in the width direction of the tiltable tabletop 4B. When attaching the booth section 7 shown in Fig. 8 to this tabletop-equipped furniture 1, it is only necessary to replace the roof panel 74 with one that is longer in the width direction.
[0065] FIG. 12 is a left side view of a fixture 1 with a tabletop according to one modified example. 12 shows a tabletop-equipped furniture 1 that is U-shaped in side view and includes a tabletop support member 31. The tabletop support member 31 includes a beam 31g that extends from the upper end 2a of the telescopic leg 2 to both sides in the depth direction, and a pair of protrusions 31h that extend upward from both ends of the beam 31g in the depth direction.
[0066] The tabletop support member 31 supports the tabletop 4 by a pair of protrusions 31h. The tabletop support member 31, which is U-shaped when viewed from the side, forms a space 31f on the underside of the tilting tabletop 4B. The space 31f separates the entire area where the tilting tabletop 4B overlaps the upper end portion 2a from the underside of the tilting tabletop 4B.
[0067] 12, an edge 4A1 of the fixed top 4A and an edge 4B1 of the tiltable top 4B are inclined so that the lower surface side is positioned more inward than the upper surface side in a plan view. This configuration makes it easier to remove fingers from the gap between the fixed top 4A and the tiltable top 4B.
[0068] FIG. 13 is a front view of a fixture 1 with a tabletop according to one modified example. The furniture with a tabletop 1 shown in Fig. 13 comprises a support structure 3 having a contact portion 21 with the floor surface, and a tabletop 4 supported by the support structure 3. The support structure 3 shown in Fig. 13 includes a pair of extendable legs 2 each having a contact portion 21 and spaced apart from each other in a first horizontal direction (width direction).
[0069] The support structure 3 further includes a restricting member 90 that restricts the telescopic legs 2 from being displaced toward and away from each other in the first direction, and a tabletop support portion 100 provided on each upper end portion 2a of the telescopic legs 2. The restricting member 90 is a beam (beam material) that extends in the first direction, and connects the portions (outer cylinders) of the telescopic legs 2 that do not rise and fall.
[0070] The tabletop support part 100 includes a first support part 30A provided on the upper end part 2a of one of the telescopic legs 2, and a second support part 30B arranged at a position spaced from the first support part 30A along the first direction toward the other telescopic leg 2. The second support part 30B is cantilevered by an arm 101 extending in the first direction from the first support part 30A.
[0071] The tabletop 4 includes a fixed tabletop 4A that is attached to the first support portion 30A so as not to be able to tilt, and a tiltable tabletop 4B that is attached to the second support portion 30B so as to be able to tilt. Even in this configuration, the moment load from the telescopic legs 2 does not directly act on the second support portion 30B, so the tilting function of the tiltable tabletop 4B can be maintained for a long period of time.
[0072] Although the preferred embodiment of the present invention has been described above with reference to the drawings, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. The shapes and combinations of the components shown in the above embodiment are merely examples, and various modifications can be made based on design requirements, etc., without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
