Description of the Related Art There is a wiring guide furniture which guides wirings derived from an appropriate part of a floor and raised to a desired position of furniture such as a desk while concealing the wiring from the outside. In this type of wiring guide furniture, an upward opening that allows the wiring space formed therein to communicate with the outside is provided at the upper end of the furniture, and the upward opening is covered with a cover arranged side by side in the depth direction. There is something that is.

Conventionally, as a specific structure for supporting these covers on the furniture main body, there are a structure in which only the outer peripheral side of the cover in the depth direction is cantilevered on an upper frame constituting the furniture main body, In some cases, a cover made of sheet metal is placed on a connecting member that connects both ends and the center in the width direction of an upper frame body arranged along the line. On the other hand, when using this kind of wiring guide furniture attached to a desk, the face plate portion of the sheet metal cover disposed on the desk side is made a blind plate, for example,
There is a demand to use the personal computer as an extension surface of a desk top, for example, a part of a personal computer can be mounted on the surface plate portion and used as a surface for mounting OA equipment.

[0004]

However, the former is a support structure that is often applied to support a cover made of a soft resin, and cantilever only on the outer edge side.
If a force is applied to the inner edge from above, the strength is unreasonable, and it is difficult to use it as a top plate expansion surface. The latter is considered to have no problem in strength, but when horizontal wiring is performed by connecting wiring guide furniture and the like having the same structure in the width direction and connecting the wiring spaces to each other, the latter is installed on the upper frame body. There is a problem in that the connected connecting member blocks the wiring space in the horizontal direction, and the continuous wiring in the horizontal direction cannot be freely performed.
