DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an option mounting device for a table, and more particularly to an option mounting device for mounting an option such as a panel, a shelf, or a lighting fixture on a simple table having a simple structure.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there have been provided various devices for mounting options such as panels, shelves, and lighting fixtures on a table or desk top plate. For example, actual fairness 5-2106
As disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. H10-260, a plurality of support holes are provided at both rear portions on both sides of a desk top plate, and support rods provided on both sides of the panel are fitted into the support holes, and the panel is attached to the top plate. An erect structure is provided along the trailing edge.

However, the desk described in the above-mentioned publication is a high-grade OA desk having a wiring function, and for this purpose, a plurality of support holes are provided in advance on a top plate so that various options can be attached. Therefore, the structure to which the present invention is applied is not suitable as a structure for mounting various options on a simple table having a simple structure.

In the desk described in the above-mentioned publication, a wiring duct is provided along the rear edge of the top plate so that an electric cord for a power supply or a signal can be wired, and therefore the support hole is provided. The position is ahead of the wiring duct. Therefore, the support rod of the panel that fits into the support hole has a shape that is greatly bent rearward, and the support rod may be an obstacle.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a table having a top plate supported by a plurality of pillars, wherein a notch opening is formed in at least one place of the top plate. In addition, an optional mounting device for a table is provided in which a pillar is disposed with the upper end facing the cutout opening, and an optional supporting portion is provided on a cap mounted on the upper end of the pillar. This makes it possible to add an optional mounting structure while suppressing an increase in the number of parts.

Further, notch openings are formed at two corners located at both ends of at least one long side of the four corners of the top plate having a substantially rectangular shape in plan view, and the pillars facing the notch openings are formed. By mounting the cap on the upper end and supporting two optional supported portions on the support portions of both caps, it is possible to stably mount a long option such as a panel or a shelf board.

In addition, a structure is employed in which an insertion hole vertically penetrated is formed in the cap to form the support portion, and a support rod constituting an optional supported portion is inserted into and supported by the insertion hole. This makes it possible to easily install the option and suppress an increase in the number of parts.

Then, a support cylinder is fixed inside the pillar corresponding to the insertion hole of the cap, and a support rod constituting an optional supported portion is fitted into the insertion hole and the support cylinder. In addition, it is possible to mount the option more stably.
