Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a fixture with a top. [Background technology]

[0002] In work spaces such as offices, public facilities, and schools, it is common to use furniture with tabletops to improve the work efficiency of workers. Furniture with large rectangular tabletops is also widely used to allow multiple workers to work in the same piece of furniture. In such furniture with large tabletops, the tabletop is supported by multiple support legs arranged along the length of the tabletop.

[0003] Incidentally, in order to effectively utilize the internal space of the support legs as described above, the internal space of the support legs may be used as a space for routing wiring, etc. For example, Patent Documents 1 and 2 disclose furniture with a top plate that is provided with a detachable cover member in the arrangement direction of a plurality of support legs, and that allows access to the internal space of the support legs by removing the cover member. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Publication No. 2020-116220 [Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2014-097203 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] However, the cover members disclosed in Patent Documents 1 and 2 are both detachable in the direction of arrangement of the multiple support legs. That is, in Patent Documents 1 and 2, the cover members are detachable in the direction along the longitudinal direction of the tabletop. Therefore, when the cover member is detached, the internal space of the support legs is opened in the direction along the longitudinal direction of the tabletop. To work in such an internal space, the worker must crawl under the center of the tabletop. This forces the worker to assume a posture that places a great burden on the worker.

[0006] The present invention was made in consideration of the above-mentioned problems, and aims to enable effective utilization of the internal space of the support legs that support the tabletop, as well as to reduce the burden of work in the internal space of the support legs. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] The present invention employs the following configuration as a means for solving the above problems.

[0008] A first aspect of the present invention is a fixture with a tabletop having a plurality of support legs arranged in a horizontal first direction and a tabletop supported by a plurality of the support legs, wherein at least one of the support legs has a vertical wall portion extending in the vertical direction, a protruding portion protruding from the lower end of the vertical wall portion in a horizontal second direction intersecting the first direction, an adjuster attached to the protruding portion, and a cover member having an opposing portion arranged above the protruding portion and facing the vertical wall portion at a distance in the second direction, and which can be attached and detached by moving in the second direction.

[0009] In a first aspect of the present invention, at least one of the support legs includes a standing wall portion, a protruding portion protruding from the lower end of the standing wall portion, and a cover member disposed above the protruding portion and facing the standing wall portion at a distance. This allows a hollow internal space to be formed surrounded by the standing wall portion, the protruding portion, and the cover member, making it possible to effectively utilize the interior of the support leg.

[0010] In the first aspect of the present invention, the cover member can be attached and detached by moving it in a second direction that intersects with the direction in which the support legs are arranged. Therefore, compared to attaching and detaching the cover member by moving it along the direction in which the support legs are arranged, it is possible to attach and detach the cover member at a position below the tabletop that is closer to the edge in the second direction than below the center of the tabletop. This reduces the workload involved in attaching and detaching the cover member.

[0011] Furthermore, in the first aspect of the present invention, the internal space of the support leg that can be effectively used is opened in the second direction by removing the cover member. That is, by removing the cover member, the internal space is opened in a direction intersecting the direction in which the multiple support legs are arranged. Therefore, work in the internal space can be performed from the second direction, and the workload can be reduced compared to when the internal space of the support leg is opened in the direction in which the multiple support legs are arranged.

[0012] Therefore, according to the first aspect of the present invention, it is possible to effectively utilize the internal space of the support leg that supports the tabletop, and also to reduce the workload of working in the internal space of the support leg.

[0013] A second aspect of the present invention is the same as the first aspect, except that the protrusion is provided with an adjuster mounting hole penetrating in the vertical direction, and the cover member is positioned farther from the vertical wall portion in the second direction than the adjuster mounting hole.

[0014] According to the second aspect of the present invention, the adjuster mounting hole penetrates the protruding portion, and the opposing portion is located farther from the vertical wall portion than the adjuster mounting hole. Therefore, the adjuster mounting hole is located in the internal space of the support leg that is exposed by removing the cover member. Therefore, by removing the cover member, it becomes possible to operate the adjuster from above using the internal space of the support leg. This makes it possible to easily adjust the adjuster using the internal space of the support leg, reducing the workload.

[0015] A third aspect of the present invention adopts a configuration in which, in the first or second aspect, a wiring accommodating portion is provided which extends in the first direction and is arranged between the support legs, and the vertical wall portion has an opening which penetrates in the second direction and communicates with the wiring accommodating space of the wiring accommodating portion.

[0016] According to the third aspect of the present invention, the opening allows the wires to be easily drawn from the wire accommodating space of the wire accommodating part into the internal space surrounded by the standing wall, the protruding part, and the cover member, thereby making it possible to easily use the internal space surrounded by the standing wall, the protruding part, and the cover member as a wire accommodating space.

[0017] A fourth aspect of the present invention is any one of the first to third aspects, wherein the facing portion is located farther away in the second direction than the tip of the protruding portion.

[0018] According to the fourth aspect of the present invention, the protruding portion does not protrude outside the cover member, which prevents the worker from catching his / her toes on the protruding portion and thus prevents the worker from feeling uncomfortable.

[0019] A fifth aspect of the present invention is the fourth aspect, wherein a lower part of the cover member is disposed opposite to a tip of the protrusion with a gap therebetween.

[0020] According to the fifth aspect of the present invention, a gap is provided between the opposing portion and the tip of the protrusion, which allows the wiring to be drawn out from the internal space surrounded by the standing wall, the protrusion, and the cover member to the outside of the support leg through the gap.

[0021] A sixth aspect of the present invention is a configuration in which, in any one of the first to fifth aspects, the cover member has an opposing portion arranged opposite the standing wall portion, and side wall portions protruding from each of both end portions of the opposing portion toward the standing wall portion in a plan view.

[0022] According to the sixth aspect of the present invention, by detaching the cover member, the internal space enclosed by the standing wall portion, the protruding portion, and the cover member can be opened widely, making it easy to perform work in the opened internal space.

[0023] A seventh aspect of the present invention employs a configuration in any one of the first to sixth aspects, wherein the adjuster is provided at least at the tip of the protruding portion.

[0024] According to the seventh aspect of the present invention, the adjuster is provided at the tip of the protrusion. This makes it possible to stabilize the support leg compared to when the adjuster is located in the center in the second direction. Furthermore, the adjuster is located closer to a position below the edge of the tabletop in the second direction than when the adjuster is located below the center of the tabletop in the second direction. This makes it easier to adjust the adjuster. [Effects of the Invention]

[0025] According to the present invention, it is possible to effectively utilize the internal space of the support legs that support the tabletop, and also to reduce the workload of working in the internal space of the support legs. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0027] Hereinafter, one embodiment of a fixture with a top plate according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0028] Fig. 1 is a perspective view showing the schematic configuration of a tabletop-equipped fixture 1 of this embodiment. Fig. 2 is a side view showing the schematic configuration of the tabletop-equipped fixture 1 of this embodiment. Fig. 3 is an exploded perspective view showing the schematic configuration of the tabletop-equipped fixture 1 of this embodiment. As shown in these figures, the tabletop-equipped fixture 1 of this embodiment comprises a plurality of support legs 2, a tabletop 3, a connecting portion 4 (wire housing portion), and a support end portion 5.

[0029] The plurality of support legs 2 support the tabletop 3 from below. These support legs 2 are arranged linearly in the horizontal direction, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2. In the following description, the arrangement direction of the support legs 2 is referred to as the left-right direction (first direction). The horizontal direction perpendicular to the left-right direction is referred to as the front-back direction (second direction). The direction perpendicular to the left-right direction and the front-back direction is referred to as the up-down direction. In this embodiment, three support legs 2 are provided, arranged at a distance in the left-right direction.

[0030] 4 is an exploded perspective view of the support leg 2 (i.e., the middle support leg 2) that is located in the center in the left-right direction among the three support legs 2. Of the three support legs 2, the support leg 2 located on the left side in the left-right direction and the support leg 2 located on the right side have the same configuration as the support leg 2 located in the center. Therefore, detailed explanations of the support leg 2 located on the left side and the support leg 2 located on the right side will be omitted.

[0031] As shown in FIG. 4, the support leg 2 includes a base 2a, an adjuster 2b, an inner plate 2c, a front cover member 2d, a rear cover member 2e, a left cover member 2f, and a right cover member 2g.

[0032] The base body 2a is a portion that supports the load of the top plate 3 from below. The base body 2a has a bottom plate portion 2a1, two standing wall portions 2a2, and an upper plate portion 2a3. The bottom plate portion 2a1, the standing wall portion 2a2, and the upper plate portion 2a3 are formed from sheet metal. The bottom plate portion 2a1 is a portion that directly or indirectly supports the standing wall portions 2a2 and the upper plate portion 2a3, and is disposed at the lower portion of the base body 2a. The bottom plate portion 2a1 is a plate-like portion that is formed into a rectangular shape in a plan view. The bottom plate portion 2a1 is disposed so that its long sides are aligned in the front-to-rear direction and its front and back surfaces face in the up-down direction. The bottom plate portion 2a1 is connected to the lower ends of each of the standing wall portions 2a2.

[0033] Both ends of the bottom plate portion 2a1 in the front-rear direction are provided to protrude further than the standing wall portions 2a2 in the front-rear direction. In other words, the front end of the bottom plate portion 2a1 protrudes further forward than the front of the two standing wall portions 2a2. In addition, the rear end of the bottom plate portion 2a1 protrudes further rearward than the two standing wall portions 2a2. The portion of the bottom plate portion 2a1 that protrudes further than the standing wall portions 2a2 is referred to as a protruding portion 2a4. In other words, in this embodiment, the support leg 2 has a protruding portion 2a4 that protrudes from the lower end of the standing wall portion 2a2 in either the front-rear direction.

[0034] In this embodiment, a configuration is adopted in which a part of the bottom plate portion 2a1 is the protrusion 2a4. However, it is also possible to adopt a configuration in which a protrusion separate from the bottom plate portion 2a1 is provided so as to protrude in the front-rear direction from the lower end of the upright wall portion 2a2.

[0035] As shown in FIG. 4, the bottom plate portion 2a1 has a plurality of adjuster mounting holes 2a5. The adjuster mounting holes 2a5 are provided to penetrate the bottom plate portion 2a1 in the up-down direction. When viewed from above, each adjuster mounting hole 2a5 exposes a portion of the adjuster 2b facing upward. For example, the adjuster mounting hole 2a5 exposes an operating portion for adjusting the height position of the adjuster 2b. Specifically, the adjuster mounting hole 2a5 exposes, for example, a hexagonal wrench hole (described below) provided at the upper end of the shaft portion of the adjuster 2b facing upward.

[0036] In this embodiment, two adjuster mounting holes 2a5 are provided for each protrusion 2a4. These adjuster mounting holes 2a5 are aligned in the left-right direction and provided at the tip of each protrusion 2a4. That is, two adjuster mounting holes 2a5 are provided at the front end of the protrusion 2a4 that protrudes forward from the upright wall 2a2. In addition, two adjuster mounting holes 2a5 are provided at the rear end of the protrusion 2a4 that protrudes rearward from the upright wall 2a2.

[0037] The standing wall portions 2a2 are portions that stand upright relative to the bottom plate portion 2a1. Two standing wall portions 2a2 stand upright relative to the bottom plate portion 2a1. These standing wall portions 2a2 are arranged at a distance in the front-rear direction. That is, in this embodiment, two standing wall portions 2a2 are provided: one standing wall portion 2a2 arranged on the front side and one standing wall portion 2a2 arranged on the rear side.

[0038] The upper plate portion 2a3 is supported downward by two standing wall portions 2a2. The upper plate portion 2a3 extends in the front-rear direction and is disposed so that its front and back surfaces face up and down. For example, as shown in FIG. 4, the front-rear end of the upper plate portion 2a3 protrudes in the front-rear direction beyond the standing wall portions 2a2. That is, the front end of the upper plate portion 2a3 protrudes forward beyond the front standing wall portion 2a2 of the two standing wall portions 2a2. Furthermore, the rear end of the upper plate portion 2a3 protrudes rearward beyond the rear standing wall portion 2a2 of the two standing wall portions 2a2.

[0039] In this embodiment, spaces K are formed between the front cover member 2d and the front standing wall portion 2a2, and between the rear cover member 2e and the rear standing wall portion 2a2. Because these spaces K are formed, the front-rear direction ends of the upper plate portion 2a3 can be made to protrude beyond the standing wall portion 2a2 by using the spaces K. By making the front-rear direction ends of the upper plate portion 2a3 protrude in this manner, it becomes possible to stably support the top plate 3.

[0040] The adjusters 2b are attached to the bottom plate 2a1 so as to correspond to the adjuster mounting holes 2a5. FIG. 5 is a schematic cross-sectional view including the space K. As shown in this figure, the adjuster 2b has a shaft 2b1 and a ground contact portion 2b2. In this embodiment, the adjuster 2b can adjust the vertical position of the ground contact portion 2b2 by inserting a hexagonal wrench into a hexagonal wrench hole provided at the upper end of the shaft 2b1 and rotating the shaft 2b1. By operating these adjusters 2b, it is possible to adjust the height position of the tabletop 3 and adjust the unevenness of the support leg 2.

[0041] The internal plate 2c is a plate member disposed between one of the upright wall portions 2a2 and the other of the upright wall portions 2a2, and is fixed to the upright wall portion 2a2, for example. Two internal plates 2c are provided spaced apart in the left-right direction. Each internal plate 2c is disposed so as to close an opening formed by being surrounded by the bottom plate portion 2a1, the two upright wall portions 2a2, and the upper plate portion 2a3.

[0042] Each internal plate 2c has a wiring opening 2c1 that penetrates in the left-right direction to allow the wiring housed inside the connecting portion 4 to pass through the support leg 2. A left cover member 2f or a right cover member 2g can be engaged with the lower edge of these wiring openings 2c1. Of the two internal plates 2c arranged in the left-right direction, the left cover member 2f can be engaged with the internal plate 2c located on the left side. Of the two internal plates 2c arranged in the left-right direction, the right cover member 2g can be engaged with the internal plate 2c located on the right side.

[0043] The front cover member 2d and the rear cover member 2e are disposed opposite each other with at least one portion spaced apart from the standing wall portion 2a2, and are detachable by moving them in the front-to-rear direction relative to the standing wall portion 2a2. That is, when the front cover member 2d and the rear cover member 2e are attached, a space K is formed between them and the standing wall portion 2a2. This space K is a space surrounded by either the front cover member 2d or the rear cover member 2e, the standing wall portion 2a2, and the protrusion 2a4.

[0044] The front cover member 2d is arranged to cover, from the front, the upright wall portion 2a2 that is arranged on the front side of the two upright wall portions 2a2. As shown in FIG. 4, the front cover member 2d has an opposing wall portion 2d1 (opposing portion), two side wall portions 2d2, and a fastening piece 2d3. The opposing wall portion 2d1 is arranged to face the upright wall portion 2a2. As shown in FIG. 5, when the front cover member 2d is attached, this opposing wall portion 2d1 faces the opposing wall portion 2d1 at a distance forward. Therefore, when the front cover member 2d is detached, the space portion K is opened forward.

[0045] Furthermore, the opposing wall portion 2d1 is located farther from the upright wall portion 2a2 in the front-to-rear direction than the adjuster mounting hole 2a5 provided in the protrusion 2a4. In other words, the opposing wall portion 2d1 of the front cover member 2d is located forward of the adjuster mounting hole 2a5 provided in the protrusion 2a4 that protrudes forward from the front upright wall portion 2a2. When the front cover member 2d is attached, this opposing wall portion 2d1 covers and conceals the adjuster mounting hole 2a5 so that it cannot be seen from the outside.

[0046] Furthermore, the opposing wall portion 2d1 is located farther from the standing wall portion 2a2 in the front-to-rear direction than the tip of the protrusion 2a4. In other words, the opposing wall portion 2d1 of the front cover member 2d is located farther from the standing wall portion 2a2 than the tip of the protrusion 2a4 that protrudes forward from the front standing wall portion 2a2. Such opposing wall portion 2d1 prevents the protrusion 2a4 from protruding forward beyond the front cover member 2d when the front cover member 2d is attached.

[0047] Furthermore, the lower portion of the opposing wall portion 2d1 extends downward from above to a position lower than the upper surface of the protrusion 2a4. In other words, when the front cover member 2d is attached, the lower portion of the opposing wall portion 2d1 extends downward from above to a position that covers the tip of the protrusion 2a4. In other words, the opposing wall portion 2d1 of the front cover member 2d covers the tip of the protrusion 2a4 that protrudes forward from the front standing wall portion 2a2. Such opposing wall portion 2d1 conceals the protrusion 2a4 so that it cannot be seen from the outside when the front cover member 2d is attached.

[0048] Furthermore, the lower part of the opposing wall portion 2d1 is disposed opposite the tip of the protrusion 2a4 with a gap S therebetween. That is, the opposing wall portion 2d1 of the front cover member 2d is disposed opposite the tip of the protrusion 2a4 that protrudes forward from the front standing wall portion 2a2 with a gap S therebetween. Through this gap S, it is possible to pass a member between the space K and the outside of the support leg 2.

[0049] The side wall portions 2d2 are provided so as to protrude from both end portions of the opposing wall portion 2d1 toward the side where the standing wall portion 2a2 is located in a plan view. In other words, each side wall portion 2d2 of the front cover member 2d is provided so as to protrude rearward from the opposing wall portion 2d1. These side wall portions 2d2 are arranged so as to sandwich the space portion K between them in the left-right direction when the front cover member 2d is attached. In other words, these side wall portions 2d2 close the space portion K from the left and right sides when the front cover member 2d is attached. Therefore, when the front cover member 2d is detached, the space portion K is also opened in the left-right direction.

[0050] The fastening pieces 2d3 are portions for fastening the front cover member 2d to the inner plate 2c. The fastening pieces 2d3 are provided on each side wall portion 2d2. Each side wall portion 2d2 is provided so as to protrude from the tip of the side wall portion 2d2. These fastening pieces 2d3 are provided with screw holes for inserting screws (not shown). The front cover member 2d may also be fastened to the base body 2a.

[0051] Such a front cover member 2d can be attached to and detached from the base body 2a by moving it in the front-to-rear direction when the fastening pieces 2d3 are not screwed. The front cover member 2d can be detached from the base body 2a by moving it forward from the attached state. Also, the front cover member 2d can be attached to the base body 2a by moving it backward from the detached state.

[0052] The rear cover member 2e is arranged to cover the rearwardly positioned upright wall portion 2a2 of the two upright wall portions 2a2. As shown in FIG. 4, the rear cover member 2e has an opposing wall portion 2e1 (opposing portion), two side wall portions 2e2, and a fastening piece 2e3. The opposing wall portion 2e1 is arranged opposite the upright wall portion 2a2. When the rear cover member 2e is attached, this opposing wall portion 2e1 is arranged opposite and spaced apart from the opposing wall portion 2e1 to the rear. Therefore, when the rear cover member 2e is detached, the space K is opened rearward.

[0053] Furthermore, the opposing wall portion 2e1 is located farther from the upright wall portion 2a2 in the front-to-rear direction than the adjuster mounting hole 2a5 provided in the protrusion 2a4. In other words, the opposing wall portion 2e1 of the rear cover member 2e is located rearward of the adjuster mounting hole 2a5 provided in the protrusion 2a4 that protrudes rearward from the rear upright wall portion 2a2. Such opposing wall portion 2e1 conceals the adjuster mounting hole 2a5 so that it cannot be seen from the outside when the rear cover member 2e is attached.

[0054] Furthermore, the opposing wall 2e1 is located farther from the standing wall 2a2 in the front-to-rear direction than the tip of the protrusion 2a4. That is, the opposing wall 2e1 of the rear cover member 2e is located farther from the standing wall 2a2 than the tip of the protrusion 2a4 that protrudes rearward from the rear standing wall 2a2. Such opposing wall 2e1 prevents the protrusion 2a4 from protruding rearward beyond the rear cover member 2e when the rear cover member 2e is attached.

[0055] Furthermore, the lower portion of the opposing wall portion 2e1 extends downward from above to a position lower than the upper surface of the protrusion portion 2a4. In other words, when the rear cover member 2e is attached, the lower portion of the opposing wall portion 2e1 extends downward from above to a position that covers the tip of the protrusion portion 2a4. In other words, the opposing wall portion 2e1 of the rear cover member 2e covers the tip of the protrusion portion 2a4 that protrudes rearward from the rear standing wall portion 2a2. Such opposing wall portion 2e1 conceals the protrusion portion 2a4 so that it cannot be seen from the outside when the rear cover member 2e is attached.

[0056] Furthermore, the lower part of the opposing wall portion 2e1 is disposed opposite the tip of the protruding portion 2a4 with a gap S therebetween. That is, the opposing wall portion 2e1 of the rear cover member 2e is disposed opposite the tip of the protruding portion 2a4 that protrudes rearward from the rear standing wall portion 2a2 with a gap S therebetween. Through this gap S, it is possible to pass a member between the space portion K and the outside of the support leg 2.

[0057] The side wall portions 2e2 are provided so as to protrude from both end portions of the opposing wall portion 2e1 toward the side where the standing wall portion 2a2 is located in a plan view. In other words, each side wall portion 2e2 of the rear cover member 2e is provided so as to protrude forward from the opposing wall portion 2e1. These side wall portions 2e2 are arranged so as to sandwich the space portion K between them in the left-right direction when the rear cover member 2e is attached. In other words, these side wall portions 2e2 close the space portion K from the left and right sides when the rear cover member 2e is attached. Therefore, when the rear cover member 2e is detached, the space portion K is also opened in the left-right direction.

[0058] The fastening pieces 2e3 are portions for fastening the rear cover member 2e to the inner plate 2c. The fastening pieces 2e3 are provided on each side wall portion 2e2. Each side wall portion 2e2 is provided so as to protrude from the tip of the side wall portion 2e2. These fastening pieces 2e3 are provided with screw holes for inserting screws (not shown). The rear cover member 2e may be fastened to the base body 2a.

[0059] Such a rear cover member 2e can be attached to and detached from the base body 2a by moving it in the front-to-rear direction when the fastening pieces 2e3 are not screwed. The rear cover member 2e can be detached from the base body 2a by moving it backward from the attached state. Also, the rear cover member 2e can be attached to the base body 2a by moving it forward from the detached state.

[0060] The left cover member 2f and the right cover member 2g are decorative covers that cover the internal plate 2c from the outside. The left cover member 2f covers the left internal plate 2c of the two internal plates 2c from the left side. As shown in FIG. 4, the left cover member 2f is provided with a locking piece 2f1 for locking onto the lower edge of the wiring opening 2c1 of the internal plate 2c. As shown in FIG. 4, the right cover member 2g is provided with a locking piece 2g1 for locking onto the lower edge of the wiring opening 2c1 of the internal plate 2c. Note that the left cover member 2f and the right cover member 2g may be omitted.

[0061] The tabletop 3 is a plate-like member supported from below by a plurality of support legs 2. The upper surface of the tabletop 3 serves as a work surface on which an office worker performs work. In this embodiment, the front-rear end of the tabletop 3 protrudes in the front-rear direction beyond the support legs 2. For example, as shown in FIG. 5 , the front end of the tabletop 3 protrudes forward beyond the support legs 2. Furthermore, the rear end of the tabletop 3 protrudes rearward beyond the support legs 2. Even when the front end of the tabletop 3 protrudes beyond the support legs 2, detaching the front cover member 2d opens the space K forward, making it easy to perform work in the space K. Furthermore, even when the rear end of the tabletop 3 protrudes beyond the support legs 2, detaching the rear cover member 2e opens the space K rearward, making it easy to perform work in the space K.

[0062] The connecting portion 4 is a member that connects the support legs 2 together. In this embodiment, the connecting portion 4 is provided between the left support leg 2 and the central support leg 2 of the three support legs 2. In addition, the connecting portion 4 is provided between the right support leg 2 and the central support leg 2 of the three support legs 2.

[0063] As shown in Figure 3, each connecting portion 4 has a connecting beam 4a, a connection portion 4b, and a beam cover 4c. The connecting beam 4a is a rigid metal member connected to one support leg 2 and the other support leg 2. The connecting beams 4a are arranged at intervals in the front-to-rear direction, and each extends linearly in the left-to-right direction. These connecting beams 4a, together with the support legs 2, support the tabletop 3 from below.

[0064] When viewed from the left and right, these connecting beams 4a are arranged so as to sandwich the wiring opening 2c1 of the internal plate 2c in the front-rear direction. The connecting portions 4b are members that connect the two connecting beams 4a together, and a plurality of connecting portions 4b are provided. These connecting portions 4b are provided extending in the front-rear direction from one connecting beam 4a to the other connecting beam 4a.

[0065] The beam covers 4c are members that cover the connecting beams 4a. In this embodiment, a beam cover 4c that covers the connecting beams 4a from the front, a beam cover 4c that covers the connecting beams 4a from the rear, and a beam cover 4c that covers the connecting beams 4a from below are provided. The space surrounded by these beam covers 4c can be used as a space that can accommodate wiring (wiring accommodation space Ka). In other words, such connecting portions 4 function as wiring accommodation portions that extend in the left-right direction and connect the support legs 2 to each other.

[0066] The support end portion 5 is disposed further to the left of the support leg 2 disposed on the left side of the three support legs 2, and further to the right of the support leg 2 disposed on the right side of the three support legs 2. These support end portions 5 have two support protrusions 5a connected to the support legs 2, and an end cover 5b that surrounds these support protrusions 5a. These support protrusions 5a support the top plate 3 from below together with the support legs 2. The end cover 5b prevents the support protrusions 5a from being seen from the outside.

[0067] In the tabletop-equipped fixture 1 of this embodiment, when adjusting the adjuster 2b, the front cover member 2d is moved forward to open the space K toward the front. The rear cover member 2e is moved rearward to open the space K toward the rear. An operator inserts a hex wrench into the space K thus opened toward the front or rear, and adjusts the adjuster 2b through the adjuster mounting hole 2a5.

[0068] The tabletop-equipped furniture 1 of this embodiment as described above includes a plurality of support legs 2 and a tabletop 3. These support legs 2 are arranged in the left-right direction, which is a horizontal first direction. In the tabletop-equipped furniture 1 of this embodiment, at least one of the support legs 2 includes a standing wall portion 2a2, a protruding portion 2a4, an adjuster 2b, and a cover member (a front cover member 2d and a rear cover member 2e). The standing wall portion 2a2 extends in the up-down direction. The protruding portion 2a4 protrudes from the lower end of the standing wall portion 2a2 in the front-rear direction, which is a horizontal front-rear direction that intersects with the left-right direction. The adjuster 2b is attached to the protruding portion 2a4. The cover member (the front cover member 2d and the rear cover member 2e) has opposing portions (opposing wall portions 2d1 and 2e1) that are arranged above the protruding portion 2a4 and facing the standing wall portion 2a2 at a distance in the front-rear direction. The cover members (front cover member 2d and rear cover member 2e) can be attached and detached by moving them in the front-rear direction.

[0069] In the tabletop-equipped fixture 1 of this embodiment, at least one of the support legs 2 includes a standing wall portion 2a2, a protruding portion 2a4 protruding from the lower end of the standing wall portion 2a2, and cover members (front cover member 2d and rear cover member 2e) arranged above the protruding portion 2a4 and facing the standing wall portion 2a2 at a distance. This allows for the formation of a hollow internal space (space portion K) surrounded by the standing wall portion 2a2, the protruding portion 2a4, and the cover members (front cover member 2d and rear cover member 2e), making it possible to effectively utilize the interior of the support leg 2.

[0070] Furthermore, in the tabletop-equipped fixture 1 of this embodiment, the cover members (front cover member 2d and rear cover member 2e) can be attached and detached by moving them in the front-to-rear direction. Therefore, compared to attaching and detaching the cover members (front cover member 2d and rear cover member 2e) by moving them along the direction in which the support legs 2 are arranged (i.e., the left-to-right direction), it is possible to attach and detach the cover members (front cover member 2d and rear cover member 2e) at a lower position on the tabletop 3 that is closer to the end in the front-to-rear direction than below the center of the tabletop 3. This makes it possible to reduce the workload involved in attaching and detaching the cover members (front cover member 2d and rear cover member 2e).

[0071] Furthermore, in the tabletop-equipped fixture 1 of this embodiment, the internal space (space K) of the support leg 2, which can be used effectively, is opened in the front-to-rear direction by removing the cover members (front cover member 2d and rear cover member 2e). In other words, by removing the cover members (front cover member 2d and rear cover member 2e), the space K is opened in the front-to-rear direction. This allows work to be performed in the space K from the front-to-rear direction, which reduces the workload compared to when the space K is open only in the left-to-right direction.

[0072] Therefore, according to the fixture with a tabletop 1 of this embodiment, it is possible to effectively utilize the internal space of the support leg 2 that supports the tabletop 3, and it is also possible to reduce the work burden in the internal space of the support leg 2.

[0073] In addition, in the tabletop-equipped fixture 1 of this embodiment, an adjuster mounting hole 2a5 that penetrates the protrusion 2a4 in the vertical direction is provided. In addition, the cover members (front cover member 2d and rear cover member 2e) are positioned farther from the upright wall portion 2a2 in the front-to-rear direction than the adjuster mounting hole 2a5.

[0074] In the tabletop-equipped fixture 1 of this embodiment, the adjuster mounting hole 2a5 penetrates the protruding portion 2a4, and the opposing portions (opposing wall portions 2d1 and 2e1) are located farther from the standing wall portion 2a2 than the adjuster mounting hole 2a5. Therefore, the adjuster mounting hole 2a5 is located in the internal space of the support leg 2 that is exposed by removing the cover members (front cover member 2d and rear cover member 2e). Therefore, by removing the cover members (front cover member 2d and rear cover member 2e), it is possible to operate the adjuster 2b from above using the internal space of the support leg 2. This makes it possible to easily adjust the adjuster 2b using the internal space of the support leg 2, reducing the workload.

[0075] Furthermore, in the tabletop-equipped furniture 1 of this embodiment, the opposing portions (opposing wall portions 2d1 and 2e1) are located farther in the front-to-rear direction than the tips of the protruding portions 2a4. Therefore, the protruding portions 2a4 do not protrude outside the cover members (front cover member 2d and rear cover member 2e). This prevents the worker from catching their toes on the protruding portions 2a4, which can cause discomfort to the worker.

[0076] Furthermore, in the tabletop-equipped fixture 1 of this embodiment, the lower portions of the cover members (front cover member 2d and rear cover member 2e) are arranged opposite the tip of the protrusion 2a4 with a gap S interposed between them. According to the tabletop-equipped fixture 1 of this embodiment, a gap S is provided between the opposing portions (opposing wall portion 2d1 and opposing wall portion 2e1) and the tip of the protrusion 2a4. Therefore, it is possible to pull out wiring from the internal space (space portion K) surrounded by the standing wall portion 2a2, the protrusion 2a4, and the cover members (front cover member 2d and rear cover member 2e) through this gap S to the outside of the support leg 2. Note that, for example, wiring can be inserted from the wiring housing portion to the space portion K through a gap or the like (not shown).

[0077] Furthermore, in the tabletop-equipped fixture 1 of this embodiment, the cover members (front cover member 2d and rear cover member 2e) have opposing portions (opposing wall portion 2d1 and opposing wall portion 2e1) that are arranged opposite the standing wall portion 2a2, and side wall portions (side wall portion 2d2 and side wall portion 2e2) that protrude from both ends of the opposing portion toward the standing wall portion 2a2 in a plan view. According to the tabletop-equipped fixture 1 of this embodiment, by detaching the cover members (front cover member 2d and rear cover member 2e), it is possible to widely open the space K surrounded by the standing wall portion 2a2, the protruding portion 2a4, and the cover members (front cover member 2d and rear cover member 2e). This makes it easy to work in the opened space K.

[0078] Furthermore, in the tabletop-equipped furniture 1 of this embodiment, an adjuster 2b is provided at the tip of each protrusion 2a4. This makes it possible to stabilize the support leg 2 compared to when the adjuster 2b is located only at the center of the support leg 2 in the front-to-back direction. Furthermore, the adjuster 2b is located closer to a position below the end of the tabletop 3 in the front-to-back direction than when the adjuster 2b is located below the center of the tabletop 3 in the front-to-back direction. This makes it easier to adjust the adjuster 2b.

[0079] (Second embodiment) Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Fig. 6. In the description of this embodiment, the description of the same parts as those in the first embodiment will be omitted or simplified.

[0080] 6 is an exploded perspective view of the centrally located support leg 2 in the left-right direction (i.e., the middle support leg 2) of the three support legs 2 included in the tabletop-equipped furniture of this embodiment. As shown in this figure, in this embodiment, an opening 2a6 is provided in the standing wall portion 2a2. This opening 2a6 penetrates in the front-rear direction and communicates with the wire accommodation space Ka of the connecting portion 4. The opening 2a6 communicates with the wire accommodation space Ka via the internal space of the standing wall portion 2a2, the space between the two internal plates 2c, and the wire opening 2c1 of the internal plate 2c.

[0081] In this embodiment, an opening 2d4 is provided in the opposing wall 2d1 of the front cover member 2d. This opening 2d4 is formed by penetrating the opposing wall 2d1 in the front-rear direction. In this embodiment, an opening 2e4 is provided in the opposing wall 2e1 of the rear cover member 2e. This opening 2e4 is formed by penetrating the opposing wall 2e1 in the front-rear direction.

[0082] The furniture with a top panel of this embodiment is provided with a connecting portion 4 that functions as a wiring housing portion. The connecting portion 4 extends in the left-right direction and is disposed between the support legs 2. Furthermore, the standing wall portion 2a2 has an opening 2a6 that penetrates in the front-rear direction and communicates with the wiring housing space Ka of the wiring housing portion.

[0083] According to the fixture with a top panel of this embodiment, the opening 2a6 allows the wiring to be easily drawn from the wiring accommodation space Ka into the space K. This makes it possible to easily use the space K as a space for accommodating wiring.

[0084] Furthermore, in the fixture with a top plate of this embodiment, the cover members (front cover member 2d and rear cover member 2e) can be detached to facilitate work in the space K. Therefore, with the fixture with a top plate of this embodiment, it is possible to reduce the workload of working on the wiring in the space K.

[0085] In this embodiment, an opening 2d4 is provided in the opposing wall 2d1 of the front cover member 2d, and an opening 2e4 is provided in the opposing wall 2e1 of the rear cover member 2e. Thus, wiring inside the space K can be easily drawn out to the outside of the support leg 2 through the opening 2d4 or the opening 2e4.
