DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a computer desk which can be used as an ordinary flat desk and can be used with a computer as required.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in order to save office space, a display such as a liquid crystal display or a CRT has been devised so that it can be used as an ordinary office desk when the computer is not used. Computer desks are known.

[0003]

However, in a conventional computer desk, a lid provided on a top plate of the desk, for example, has to be opened and closed in order to put the display in and out of the desk. The opening and closing operation of the lid plate was time-consuming and troublesome.

In the conventional computer desk, even if the display is stored in the desk, the cover plate can be easily opened. Therefore, there is a risk of theft unless a hook is provided so that the cover plate cannot be opened and closed. there were.

[0005]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a computer desk according to the present invention is provided with an opening of an appropriate size in a top plate, and a lid plate can be opened and closed rearward in the opening. A lifting unit capable of mounting a display in the opening is provided so as to be lifted and lowered by a motor, and the lifting plate is brought into contact with the lower surface of the lid plate when the lifting unit is raised to open the lid plate. It is characterized by establishing a frame to be erected. Further, in the computer desk according to the present invention, a bar is hung from the lower surface of the lid plate, the bar is slidably inserted into the elevating unit, and a retaining piece is provided at a lower end of the bar. Thus, the lid plate is prevented from being opened unnecessarily by preventing the lid plate and the elevating unit from being separated from each other by a predetermined distance or more.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In this computer desk, a top plate 2 is horizontally supported by three side plates 1, a drawer tray 3 is provided below the top plate 2, a keyboard 4 can be arranged in the tray, and a side space 5 is formed. The computer body 6 can be accommodated in the side space.

[0007] A rectangular opening 7 of an appropriate size is opened near the rear edge of the top plate 2, and a lid plate 8 capable of closing the opening 7 is provided rearward by a pivot 9 provided at the rear edge of the opening 7. It is pivoted so that it can be opened and closed freely. In the opening 7, a storage box 13 including a side plate 10, a bottom plate 11, an upper plate 12, and side plates 14 and 15 is fixedly provided.

Reference numeral 16 denotes a motor with a speed reducer fixed to the bottom plate 11 of the storage box. Reference numeral 17 denotes a motor connected to the rotation output shaft of the motor and the upper end of which is supported on the upper plate 12 by a bearing 18 so as to enter the storage box 13. It is a spiral shaft provided vertically. Reference numeral 20 denotes an elevating unit composed of a board 21 and a frame 22, and a female spiral member 23 fixed to the frame.
Is screwed into the helical shaft, and when the helical shaft rotates, the elevating unit 20 moves up and down in the storage box 13. 2
Reference numerals 4 and 25 denote slide rails provided on the inner surface of the storage box 13 for guiding the lifting and lowering of the lifting unit.

Reference numeral 26 denotes a thin liquid crystal display mounted on the board 21. Reference numeral 27 denotes a gate-shaped frame formed by bending a reinforcing bar on the board 21 so as to surround the display from behind. Reference numeral 31 denotes a pair of mounting pieces 29 fixedly provided on both sides of the lower surface of the lid plate 8, and the upper end of the mounting piece 29 is
It is a rod-like body that is suspended by being pivoted. The rod 3
1 is a through hole 32 formed in the board 21 of the lifting unit 20.
And a stopper 33 having a diameter larger than the through hole is provided at the lower end of the rod so that the cover plate 8 and the elevating unit 20 do not separate more than a predetermined distance. ing. A limit switch (not shown) for detecting when the elevating unit 20 is raised and lowered and stopping the motor 16 is provided on the inner surface of the storage box 13, and an operation switch for operating the motor is provided on a desk. Are provided at appropriate places.

In this desk, when using the computer, the elevating unit 20 is raised as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, and when not in use, the elevating unit 20 is lowered as shown in FIGS. 4 to 6. State. When in the descending state, the lid plate 8 closes the opening 7 by its own weight, and the top plate 2 is flush with the top plate 2, so that the top plate can be widely used as an ordinary office desk. Also, when the lifting unit 20 is raised, the frame 27 hits the lower surface of the lid plate 8 and raises the lid plate, so that the opening 7 opens naturally as shown in FIG. 1 and the display 26 projects above the top plate. Can be. Therefore, the user can operate the keyboard 4 while looking at the display 26.

The rod-shaped body 31 suspended from the lower side of the cover plate 8 near both side edges is provided when the display 26 is stored in the storage box 13 as shown in FIGS. Even if the user tries to forcibly open the cover 8, the retaining piece 33 is caught and the cover plate cannot be completely opened. Can prevent the display from being stolen. Further, by providing the rod-shaped body 31, when the cover plate 8 is closed, a finger is prevented from entering below the cover plate 8, and it is also effective to prevent a user from pinching and injuring the user. .

[0012]

As described above, in the computer desk of the present invention, an opening of an appropriate size is opened in the top plate, and a lid plate is pivotally attached to the opening so that it can be opened and closed rearward, and a display is provided in the opening. A lifting unit capable of mounting the same is provided so as to be moved up and down by a motor, and a frame body is formed on the lifting unit to strike the lower surface of the lid plate at the time of raising and raise the lid plate in an open state. The computer can be used by protruding the display on the desk without opening and closing the lid as in the past, and the computer can be used, and if you store the display, the lid closes and the top plate becomes flush and widely used as an ordinary office desk It can be used and has the beneficial effect of eliminating the lack of office space.
