FIG. 1 is a front view showing a main part of an embodiment of a desktop panel according to the present invention. The left part is an exploded state, the right part is an assembled state, and an intermediate part is omitted. I have.

In this desktop panel (4), four sides of a translucent plate member (5) made of frosted glass, which is frosted glass having a small particle size, are connected to upper and lower frame rods (6) and left and right frame rods.
(7) and corner material (8).

The plate material (5) can be, for example, ordinary frosted glass, template glass, milky surface or colored acrylic plate, colored glass, polarizing glass, etc., in addition to frosted glass.

Further, the plate member (5) may be a light control plate composed of a liquid crystal plate whose transparency or light blocking degree can be adjusted by changing the applied voltage.

The upper and lower frame rods (6) are formed by extruding a synthetic resin material, and have a concave groove (9) formed inside as shown in a vertical side view of FIG. The groove (9) is a plate material (5)
Of a size capable of accommodating the edge portion of the sheet.

The left and right frame rods 7 are also formed by extruding a synthetic resin material to form a molded product. As shown in the cross-sectional plan view of FIG. 3, a concave groove 9 is formed inside.

The corner member (8) is formed of a synthetic resin material, has a concave groove (not shown) corresponding to the concave groove (9) at the inner corner, and has left and right frame rods (7) and up and down. Has a protruding piece (10) fitted to each end of the frame rod (6). Further, as shown in FIG. 4 which is a plan view thereof, a hole (11) for attaching to the left and right frame rods (7) is formed in the upper surface, and a central protruding piece (10) is provided.
In addition, a screw hole (12) for attachment to the upper and lower frame rods (6) is formed. In addition, the corner material (8) is omitted,
Each end of the (7) and the upper and lower frame rods (6) may be cut at an angle of 45 degrees, and may be joined by abutting each other.

Reference numeral (13) in FIG. 1 denotes left and right frame rods (7).
Is an outward-facing U-shaped core material attached to the outer side surface of the.

In assembling, the corner members (8) are inserted into both ends of the upper and lower frame rods (6), and bolts (14) are attached to the upper and lower frame rods.
(6) From the side, screw into the screw hole (12) of the protruding piece (10) of the corner material (8) and join. Then, the concave grooves (9) of the left and right frame rods (7) are fitted into the left and right edges of the plate member (5), and the corner members (5) are inserted into the upper and lower edges of the plate member (5) as described above. 8) Fit the concave grooves (9) of the upper and lower frame rods (6) with the attached.

In this manner, the vertically extending protruding pieces (10) of the corner members (8) are fitted into the ends of the left and right frame rods (7). In this state, the corner members (8) are fixed to the left and right frame rods (7) by tightening the screws (15).

Next, the core member (13) is attached to the outer surfaces of the left and right frame rods (7) by screws (16). The core material (13) is shown in FIG.
The cover member (17) shown in FIG.
The assembled state is shown on the right side of FIG.

A pair of small holes (18) is formed in the front of the left and right frame rods (7) of the desktop panel. Using these small holes (18), the angle-shaped locking plate shown in FIG.
(19) is attached. The locking plate (19) includes a pair of upper and lower locking hooks (20) facing forward, and a hole (21) corresponding to the small hole (18). The locking plate (19) is fixed to the left and right frame rods (7) by screwing the screws (22) inserted through the holes (21) into the small holes (18). FIG. 6 shows a panel to which the locking plate (19) is attached in this manner.

As shown in FIG. 7, the desktop panel (4) to which the locking plate (19) is attached has a locking hook (20).
The column (3) is mounted on the desk (1) by being locked in a slit-shaped locking hole (23) formed in the rear surface of the column (3).

The present invention can also be applied to a desktop side panel erected on a side edge of a desk top plate.

[0025]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, the lighting portion made of a translucent plate material not only ensures the lighting of the desk top surface, but also makes it impossible for the worker or the desk top surface to be visually recognized accurately from the outside. In this way, it is possible to create an environment where the privacy of the workers is protected and the work can be concentrated.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, since the lighting portion is formed of frosted glass, the lighting efficiency is better than that of ordinary ground glass, and a good impression can be given to the worker.

According to the third aspect of the present invention, the transparency can be freely adjusted by changing the voltage applied to the liquid crystal plate. When taking a break or wanting to know the outside situation, the transparency of the lighting unit can be increased to allow the outside to be seen, which is convenient.

According to the fourth aspect of the invention, the plate can be firmly and reliably supported by a simple structure.

According to the fifth aspect of the present invention, the side edges of the panel can be beautifully finished.

According to the sixth aspect of the present invention, it is possible to easily and surely attach to the desk and easily remove it.
