Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a furniture for wiring guides, which is capable of laying out wirings rising from the floor with good appearance and suitable routing.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a floor in which a number of unit floor materials are arranged on a building floor surface is provided, and various floor space is formed between a lower surface of the unit floor material and the building floor surface. Various types have been developed so that the above-mentioned wirings can be inserted. Wirings derived from an appropriate part of the floor and raised are guided to a desired position of furniture such as a desk.

[0003]

However, simply raising the wiring from the floor tends to be unsightly and messed around furniture such as desks, and also causes the wiring to be entangled with each other and not to be pulled out. Easy to fall. In some cases, a wiring duct is built in the desk to guide the wiring that rises from the floor to this wiring duct. In addition to the inability to realize the mode, inadvertent movement of the desk when changing the layout of the office or the like easily causes the inconvenience that the wires are forcibly pulled and the wires are disconnected.

In order to solve such inconveniences, recently, there has been proposed a wiring guide furniture dedicated to wiring routing which can be attached to furniture such as a desk. This is a combination of pipe frames to form a gate-shaped structure including left and right legs and a connecting portion connecting between them, and a wiring duct is provided between the left and right legs. However, this wiring guide furniture is merely intended to form a wiring duct for accommodating wiring between legs. For this reason, there is a disadvantage that the wirings are also exposed before the wirings raised from the floor are led to the wiring duct, and the structure including the legs and the connecting portions is formed using many pipe frames. It must be constructed, and an end plate is required at a position on the outer end face of the leg to close between the pipe frames, so that there is a problem that the overall cost cannot be effectively reduced.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a wiring accommodating function to the components of the structure itself, so that wiring can be suitably routed with a simple structure. It is an object of the present invention to provide such wiring guide furniture.
