Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a high table that is suitable for use in offices and the like. [Background technology]

[0002] BACKGROUND ART Various high tables with a top plate set at a relatively high position from the floor surface have been known (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

[0003] This type of high table has a tabletop that is set higher than that of a regular table, and therefore the strength of its legs is set higher than that of a regular table. This means that other components related to the high table legs also require special specifications, and the tabletops and other components that can be used for regular tables and high tables cannot be used interchangeably.

[0004] Furthermore, conventional high tables have tabletops that are supported by relatively long legs, which makes the tabletops prone to slight movement during use. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0016] [Figure 1] 1 is a perspective view showing an embodiment of the present invention; [Figure 2] FIG. [Figure 3] FIG. [Figure 4] FIG. [Figure 5] FIG. [Figure 6] FIG. [Figure 7] FIG. [Figure 8] FIG. [Figure 9] FIG. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0017] Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

[0018] In this embodiment, the present invention is applied to a high table A used in an office or the like.

[0019] The high table A comprises a tabletop 1 that is rectangular in plan view, a reinforcing body 2 attached to the underside of the tabletop 1, main legs 3 attached to the outer surfaces of the reinforcing body 2 and the underside of the tabletop 1, and auxiliary legs 4 provided in the center of the width of the tabletop 1 to prevent the tabletop 1 from moving slightly horizontally.

[0020] The table top 1 is plate-shaped. The table top 1 has a rectangular shape in a plan view. The table top 1 is located at a higher position than that of a typical table, that is, the table top surface 1s is located at a height of 800 mm to 1050 mm from the floor surface F. In this embodiment, the table top surface 1s of the table top 1 is located at a height of approximately 1000 mm from the floor surface F. (The table top surface position on a typical table is set at 670 mm to 720 mm from the floor surface F.) The table top 1 has a usable edge e1 only on the front edge side. The table top 1 has a counter-usable edge e2 on the rear edge side. In other words, the front edge of the table top 1 is set to the usable edge e1 close to the user, and the rear edge is set to the counter-usable edge e2 located away from the user.

[0021] The tabletop 1 shown in this embodiment is a so-called horizontally long one, and the left-right width dimension of the tabletop 1 is set to be about four times the front-rear width dimension of the tabletop 1.

[0022] The top plate 1 has two wiring insertion windows 11, each rectangular in plan view, on the left and right sides of the opposite end edge e2. A wiring cover c is arranged in each of the two wiring insertion windows 11 spaced apart on the left and right sides so that it can be opened and closed. The wiring cover c is made of synthetic resin and is detachably attached to the wiring insertion window 11. A wiring duct D is provided on the underside of the top plate 1, positioned below the wiring insertion window 11, and capable of supporting the wiring hs. The underside of the top plate 1 is provided with a plurality of leg attachment portions 12 for attaching the main legs 3.

[0023] The reinforcement body 2 is fastened to the underside of the tabletop 1 and can function to suppress deflection of the tabletop 1. The reinforcement body 2 includes a central reinforcement beam 21 disposed in the center in the front-to-rear direction on the underside of the tabletop 1, and end reinforcement beams 22 disposed on both left and right ends of the central reinforcement beam 21. The central reinforcement beam 21 is disposed approximately parallel to the usable edge e1 and the anti-usable edge e2 of the tabletop 1. The end reinforcement beams 22 are disposed on both left and right ends of the tabletop 1 in a direction approximately perpendicular to the central reinforcement beam 21. The central reinforcement beam 21 and the end reinforcement beams 22 are each shaped like a square pipe. The central reinforcement beam 21 and the end reinforcement beams 22 are attached to the underside of the tabletop 1 using bolts v1.

[0024] The main legs 3 are capable of supporting both widthwise ends of the tabletop 1 so that the tabletop surface 1s can be maintained at a height of 800 mm to 1050 mm. In other words, the main legs 3 have a vertical dimension that allows them to support the tabletop 1 at a position higher than the height position of the tabletop 1 on a normal table. The main legs 3 are equipped with leg brackets 31 attached to leg mounting parts 12 provided on the underside of the tabletop 1 so as to engage with the outer surfaces of the reinforcing beams 22 at the ends, and leg bodies 32 fastened to the leg brackets 31.

[0025] The leg bracket 31 is made of, for example, aluminum die-cast and has bolt insertion holes h for inserting bolts v for fastening to the tabletop 1 at positions corresponding to a plurality of embedded nuts (not shown) provided in the leg mounting portion 12 of the tabletop 1. The leg main body 32 includes a rectangular support 321 that fits into the leg bracket 31 from below and a main leg adjuster 322 attached to the lower end of the support 321. A nut (not shown) is rigidly attached to the upper end of the support 321, and a connecting bolt (not shown) is inserted into the leg bracket 31 from above and threaded thereto. The high table A in this embodiment is configured so that the leg bracket 31 can be attached to the underside of the tabletop 1 in a configurable manner. That is, the high table A is configured so that the leg bracket 31 can be attached either near the front or rear end of the tabletop 1 or near the center of the tabletop 1 in the fore-and-aft direction. In other words, the high table A allows the position of the main legs 3 to be freely changed depending on the usage mode.

[0026] The auxiliary legs 4 function to suppress slight horizontal movement of the tabletop 1 in association with the user's movements, and also to guide wiring hs, such as power cables and information cables, led from the floor surface F, to the underside of the tabletop 1. The wiring hs guided to the underside of the tabletop 1 passes through the wiring duct D and the wiring insertion window 11 and is led to the tabletop surface 1s of the tabletop 1. In this embodiment, the auxiliary legs 4 are arranged in the left-right center near the rear edge, which is the edge e2 opposite the usable edge of the tabletop 1.

[0027] The auxiliary leg 4 comprises an auxiliary leg body 41 which forms a wiring insertion space sp through which wiring hs can pass, an auxiliary leg bracket 42 for attaching the auxiliary leg body 41 to the tabletop 1, a cover plate 43 which serves as a wiring cover capable of closing the wiring insertion space sp in the auxiliary leg body 41, and four grounding adjusters provided on the underside of the auxiliary leg body 41, namely a front right adjuster 44a, a front left adjuster 44b, a rear right adjuster 44c, and a rear left adjuster 44d.

[0028] The auxiliary leg body 41 has a pair of side plates 411 on the left and right, and The auxiliary leg body 41 is mainly composed of a rear plate 412 that connects the rear ends of the auxiliary leg body 41 and the left and right side plates 411. A roughly U-shaped space is formed in the auxiliary leg body 41 by the left and right side plates 411 and the rear plate 412, and this enclosed space serves as a wiring insertion space sp through which wiring hs can pass.

[0029] Engagement protrusions t are provided on the opposing surfaces of the front ends of the left and right side plates 411, with which the attachment notches k3 provided in the cover plate 43 can engage. The engagement protrusions t are provided in a manner that protrudes from the opposing surfaces near the upper and lower ends of the left and right side plates 411.

[0030] The auxiliary leg bracket 42 is interposed between the auxiliary leg body 41 and the tabletop 1. The auxiliary leg bracket 42 is attached to the upper end of the auxiliary leg body 41. The auxiliary leg bracket 42 comprises a top wall 421 that can be attached to the underside of the tabletop 1, and left and right side walls 422 that hang down from the left and right ends of the top wall 421. The top wall 421 is provided with a bolt insertion hole h2 for attaching to the tabletop 1. The auxiliary leg 4 is attached to the tabletop 1 by screwing a bolt v2 inserted into the bolt insertion hole h2 into a nut portion (not shown) provided on the underside of the tabletop 1. The auxiliary leg bracket 42 has a downward U-shape when viewed from the front, which makes it easy to lead the wiring hs from the auxiliary leg body 41 to the outside.

[0031] The cover plate 43 is configured to be detachable from the auxiliary leg body 41. The cover plate 43 has approximately the same vertical dimensions as the auxiliary leg body 41. The cover plate 43 has a front wall 431 and side edge walls 432 that extend rearward from both the left and right edges of the front wall 431.

[0032] The front wall 431 has an upper cutout k1 and a lower cutout k2 at its upper and lower ends, which serve as cutouts through which the wiring hs can pass. The side edge wall 432 has an attachment cutout k3 that can engage with an engagement protrusion t provided on the auxiliary leg body 41. When the cover plate 43 is attached to the auxiliary leg body 41, the front wall 431 of the cover plate 43 is set so as not to be positioned in front of the front surface of the side panel 411 of the auxiliary leg body 41.

[0033] The front right adjuster 44a and the front left adjuster 44b are attached to the lower end of the auxiliary leg body 41. The front right adjuster 44a is located in front of the lower end of the auxiliary leg body 41 and is arranged on the right side in a front view. The front left adjuster 44b is located in front of the lower end of the auxiliary leg body 41 and is arranged on the left side in a front view.

[0034] The rear right adjuster 44c and the rear left adjuster 44d are attached to the lower end of the auxiliary leg body 41. The rear right adjuster 44c is located on the rear side of the lower end of the auxiliary leg body 41 and is disposed on the right side in a front view. The rear left adjuster 44d is located on the rear side of the lower end of the auxiliary leg body 41 and is disposed on the left side in a front view.

[0035] The front right adjuster 44a and the front left adjuster 44b are positioned forward of the rear right adjuster 44c and the rear left adjuster 44d, and are positioned apart from the rear right adjuster 44c and the rear left adjuster 44d.

[0036] The front right adjuster 44a and the rear right adjuster 44c are located to the right of the front left adjuster 44b and the rear left adjuster 44d, and are spaced apart from the front left adjuster 44b and the rear left adjuster 44d.

[0037] Each of the adjusters 44 a , 44 b , 44 c , and 44 d is adapted to be threadably engaged with an adjuster fitting p attached to the lower end of the auxiliary leg body 41 and to be movable back and forth.

[0038] As described above, the high table A according to this embodiment includes the tabletop 1, the main legs 3 that support both widthwise ends of the tabletop 1 so that the tabletop surface 1s can be maintained at a height of 800 mm to 1050 mm, and the auxiliary legs 4 that are provided in the widthwise center of the tabletop 1 and suppress slight horizontal movement of the tabletop 1. This makes it possible to provide a high table A that is configured to suitably suppress slight movement of the tabletop 1. In other words, by providing the auxiliary legs 4 to the high table A having the tabletop 1 supported at a predetermined height, slight horizontal movement of the tabletop 1 is suitably suppressed.

[0039] Moreover, because the high table A shown in this embodiment has auxiliary legs 4, the main legs 3 can be attached using the same attachment structure as that of main legs applied to general tables. Therefore, not only the leg brackets 31 constituting the main legs 3 but also the tabletop 1 to which the leg brackets 31 are connected can be naturally applied to general tables, not just the high table A. In other words, the tabletop 1 and the attachment structure of the legs to the tabletop that can be used for general tables can be commonly used with the tabletop 1 and the attachment structure of the main legs 3 to the tabletop 1 that can be used for the high table A.

[0040] In other words, the leg bracket 31 and main landing gear adjuster 322 can also be used for a general table. That is, in the manufacturing stage of the product, it is only necessary to cut the extruded material for the support pillar into two types: a relatively long piece that can be used as the support pillar 321 in this embodiment, and a piece of a predetermined size that can be used as the support pillar for a general table, which contributes to streamlining the manufacturing process.

[0041] In other words, the only parts exclusive to the high table A in this embodiment are the auxiliary legs 4 and the support posts 321 whose dimensions are in accordance with the conditions of the high table A.

[0042] The auxiliary leg 4 is provided with an auxiliary leg body 41 that forms a wiring insertion space sp through which the wiring hs can pass. This makes it possible to suitably lead the wiring hs from the floor surface F side to the top board 1 side in a manner that is not noticeable from the outside. Moreover, since there is no need to run the wiring hs along the main leg 3, which is easily noticeable from the outside, the configuration of the main leg 3 can be simplified.

[0043] The auxiliary leg 4 is provided with a cover plate 43 that can close the wire insertion space sp in the auxiliary leg main body 41, and the cover plate 43 has an upper cutout k1 and a lower cutout k2 that are cutouts that can connect the wires to the upper end and lower end. Therefore, the wires hs can be suitably led from the floor surface F side to the top board 1 side in a manner that is not noticeable from the outside.

[0044] The tabletop 1 has a usable end portion e1 only at its front edge, and the auxiliary legs 4 are arranged closer to the rear edge of the tabletop 1. Therefore, the auxiliary legs 4 are arranged in a suitable position away from the user.

[0045] The auxiliary leg 4 is equipped with at least two ground contact adjusters spaced apart in the front-to-rear direction and at least two ground contact adjusters spaced apart in the left-to-right direction. In other words, the auxiliary leg 4 is equipped with a front right adjuster 44a and a front left adjuster 44b arranged at two locations on the front side, left and right, and a rear right adjuster 44c and a rear left adjuster 44d arranged at two locations on the rear side, left and right. This allows the auxiliary leg 4 to flexibly come into contact with the floor surface F, thereby suitably suppressing slight movements of the tabletop 1. In other words, the configuration of the ground contact adjusters 44a, 44b, 44c, and 44d in this embodiment makes it possible to flexibly suppress shaking of the tabletop 1 in both the left-to-right and front-to-back directions.

[0046] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment.

[0047] The size and shape of the top plate can be various and are not limited to those shown in the above-described embodiment.

[0048] It goes without saying that various arrangements of the reinforcing members and whether or not they are necessary can be set.

[0049] The position of the wiring insertion window provided in the top plate can be set to various positions.

[0050] It goes without saying that the location of the auxiliary legs can be flexibly changed depending on the size of the applicable high table, etc.

[0051] For example, Figures 8 and 9 show a high table A according to another embodiment. In these figures, the same or corresponding components as those in the above-described embodiment are given the same reference numerals, and a description thereof will be omitted. In this other embodiment, the front-to-rear width of the tabletop 1 is set longer than that shown in the above-described embodiment. The tabletop 1 has usable edges e1 on both front and rear edges. The auxiliary legs 4 are located in the center of the tabletop 1 in the front-to-rear direction. The wiring insertion window 11 is formed in the center of the tabletop 1 in the front-to-rear direction. Even with this configuration, the initial objective can be achieved.

[0052] The auxiliary leg may be configured to have at least two ground contact adjusters spaced apart in the front and rear directions, or at least two ground contact adjusters spaced apart in the left and right directions.

[0053] Furthermore, the specific configuration of each part is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications are possible within the scope of the present invention. [Explanation of symbols]
