Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a panel to which optional members such as shelves and trays can be suitably mounted.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Heretofore, there has been known a structure in which optional members such as shelves and trays can be attached to a desktop panel or a partition panel having a face plate-like surface. In such a case, for example, a plurality of slits arranged substantially parallel to each other vertically are formed on the surface of one desktop panel having a face plate shape, and an optional member is attached to a slit of any height. If there is a mounting part such as a slit formed at the side end of the panel, a column supporting the side end of the panel, or the like, an option member is attached to the mounting part formed at the column or the like. It is considered.

[0003]

However, in the case where a plurality of slits are formed on the surface of one panel, the number of man-hours for manufacturing the panel increases, and there is a problem that the operation is complicated and time-consuming. In the case where the attachment portion is formed on the side end portion or the support column of the panel, the optional member can be attached to the position along the side end portion or over both side end portions, but the side end portion in the width direction of the panel can be attached. If an optional member is to be attached to a position other than the portion (for example, the center portion), a special attachment portion must be formed on the surface of the panel in the shape of a face plate. Further, in this case, when the optional member is not used, an unnecessary mounting portion is exposed on the surface of the panel, and the appearance is impaired.

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a panel which has a high degree of freedom in mounting an optional member with respect to the panel and which does not impair the appearance of a portion where the optional member is not mounted. Is what you do.

[0005]

For this purpose, a panel according to the present invention comprises a plurality of panel elements, and the surface of these panel elements constitutes the entire surface of the panel. It is characterized in that a slit for attaching an optional member to be used with the panel is formed.

With such a configuration, since it is not necessary to form a slit on the surface of one panel element, it is not necessary to increase the number of manufacturing steps per panel element. Is manufactured in large numbers, and a single panel is formed using them, whereby a slit can be easily formed between the panel elements.
In addition, since the slits are formed between the panel elements, the positions where the slits are formed are not limited to the side end portions of the panel, and the degree of freedom of the mounting positions of the optional members is improved. Further, since the slit referred to here is an elongated opening formed on the surface of the panel, the appearance is not impaired even if such slits are formed side by side between the panel elements.

In particular, in order to form such slits simply and with good appearance, position determining means for determining the relative front and rear positions of the surfaces of adjacent panel elements is formed, and this position determining means is used. It is desirable to form a slit by using a slit. With this configuration, the position determining means for determining the front-back position between adjacent panel elements also has a function of forming a slit for mounting an optional member. Even if the panel is configured, it is not necessary to separately provide a mounting portion for the optional member.

[0008] In order to make the surface of such a panel planar and good in appearance and ease of use, it is desirable to arrange the surfaces of a plurality of panel elements on substantially the same plane by the position determining means.

In order to form a slit having an opening width as small as possible and inconspicuous, the position determining means is formed in relation to at least one end of the panel element and one end of another panel element adjacent thereto. Is preferred.

Furthermore, in order to mount the optional member by a simple operation such as inserting the hook into the slit and hooking it, a plurality of panel elements are arranged vertically and a slit extending in the width direction of the panel element is arranged between the panel elements. It is effective to form.

In this case, the panel element which can form a panel in which the position of each panel element is easily determined and a slit is easily formed includes a face plate portion whose surface is set as a surface of the panel element, and an upper panel element. A first position determining portion formed along the upper end of the face plate portion so as to enter the back surface side of the face plate portion from below, and a front side of the first position determining portion of the panel element on the back surface side and lower side of the face plate portion A second position determining portion formed along the lower end of the face plate portion so as to be positioned at the position, and a first position determining portion of the lower panel element and a second position determining portion of the upper panel element. A panel element that constitutes the position determining means is exemplified.

Further, in order that adjacent panel elements come into close contact with each other to improve the overall appearance and facilitate the formation of slits, the upper and lower ends of each panel element must be provided with: A contact portion that abuts and contacts an adjacent panel element is set, and at least a connection portion of the first position determination portion with the face plate portion is formed at a lower position than a contact portion on an upper end side, or the second position determination portion It is preferable to form the connection portion with the face plate portion at a higher position than the contact portion on the lower end side.

Further, in order to facilitate the manufacture of the panel element, a single plate member in which the face plate portion, the first position determining portion and the second position determining portion are formed by partially bending the panel element. It is effective to use as a subject.

Particularly, in the case of a panel element formed by bending a plate material, in addition to being able to stably support an optional member partially inserted into the slit, specific panel elements that look good and are easy to manufacture include: The contact portion is formed at both end portions at the upper end of the face plate portion and substantially the entire region of the lower end, and the plate material is inward from the both end portions at the upper end portion of the face plate portion and rearward and upward at a position lower than the upper end thereof. Is set to the base end of the first position determining unit which is bent into an L-shape, and the second plate is bent at the lower end of the face plate so as to be inclined obliquely upward with a width substantially equal to that of the first position determining unit. By setting the base end of the position determining unit, a slit formed between the base end of the first position determining unit in the lower panel element and the base end of the second position determining unit in the upper panel element is formed. Insert A portion of the options member,
A configuration that can be supported by being sandwiched between the first position determination unit and the second position determination unit is exemplified.

Further, in order to easily fix a plurality of panel elements made of a plate material at vertically arranged positions, a pair of left and right vertical frame members capable of simultaneously supporting the side end portions of each panel element on the panel. And forming a side wall continuous to the side end of the face plate portion by bending the side end portion of the plate member toward the rear of the panel element, and attaching the side wall to the vertical frame member. desirable.

The above-mentioned panel is particularly useful when applied to a desktop panel attached to a desk when it is used by attaching a shelf, a tray or the like.

A horizontally long slit S is formed between the panel elements 1. Therefore, the position determining means X
Accordingly, it is possible to position the plurality of panel elements 1 and eliminate the need to separately provide a configuration for mounting the file tray 7.

In particular, since the position determining means X determines the front-rear positional relationship between the panel elements 1 so that the surfaces 1a of the plurality of panel elements 1 are arranged substantially on the same plane, the surface of the desktop panel DP is planar. With this, it is possible to make the appearance and the usability good.

Further, since the position determining means X is formed in relation to the lower end of one adjacent panel element 1 and the upper end of the other panel element 1, the opening width of the slit S is reduced. It can be less noticeable.

Further, since a plurality of panel elements 1 are vertically arranged and a slit S extending horizontally is formed between them, it is possible to mount the file tray 7 by a simple operation of inserting the file tray 7 into the slit and hooking it. is there.

Further, each panel element 1 mainly includes a face plate portion 11 constituting the surface thereof, a first position determining portion x1 formed along the upper end of the face plate portion 11 of the lower panel element 1, and an upper stage portion. And a second position determining section x2 formed along the lower end of the panel element 1 on the side of the second panel element. The first position determining unit x1 and the second position determining unit x2 are positioned at positions behind the position determining unit x2.
To form a position determining means X. And the contact part 1p which mutually contacts the panel element 1 adjacent to the upper end part and the lower end part of each panel element 1 is set, and the 1st position determination part x
1 is formed at a position lower than the contact portion 1p on the upper end side, so that the panel elements 1 are brought into close contact with each other to improve the external appearance, and the position determining means X is improved.
Thereby, the slit S can be easily formed while determining the front and rear positions of the panel elements 1.

Since the panel element 1 is formed by bending a single plate, the desktop panel DP can be manufactured with a minimum number of parts. A contact portion 1p is formed between both side ends of the upper end 11a of the face plate portion 11 and substantially the entire region of the lower end 11b, and the base end 1 of the first position determining portion x1 bent in an L shape.
3a is set at a position lower than the upper end 11a at the upper end of the face plate portion 11 inward from both side end portions, and the base end 15a of the inclined second position determining portion x2 is set at the lower end 11 of the face plate portion 11.
b, and the insertion portion 74 is inserted into the slit S so as to sandwich the insertion portion 74 of the file tray 7 between the first position determination portion x1 on the lower side and the second position determination portion x2 on the upper side. Therefore, the work of attaching the file tray 7 can be simplified, and the stability after the attachment can be improved.

Further, a side wall 12 is formed by bending a plate material on the panel element 1, and a pair of left and right vertical frame materials 2 are formed.
Since the plurality of panel elements 1 are supported at the same time by attaching the side walls 12 to the panel, the members can be easily shared.

The direction in which the panel elements are arranged may be any other direction, such as left and right, besides up and down, and the direction of the slit formed therewith is not necessarily left and right. Further, the panel can be applied not only to a desktop panel but also to a partition panel and the like, and various optional members such as a shelf and a CD holder can be applied. In addition, the specific configuration of each unit is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

[0036]

The present invention is embodied in the form described above and has the following effects.

That is, in the panel of the present invention, the surface of the plurality of panel elements constitutes the entire surface of the panel, and slits for attaching optional members are formed between adjacent panel elements. For this reason, since it is not necessary to form a mounting portion such as a slit for mounting an optional member on the panel element itself, it is possible to facilitate the manufacture of the panel element. In addition, since the position of the slit formed between the panel elements is not limited to the side end of the panel, the degree of freedom of the attachment portion of the optional member can be improved, and the slit of the unused slit can be improved. The presence can also be prevented from impairing the appearance.

In particular, when the slits are formed by using position determining means for determining the relative front and rear positions of the surfaces of adjacent panel elements, the position determining means can determine the front and rear positions of the adjacent panel elements. And the function to attach optional parts,
The optional member can be easily mounted without separately providing a mounting portion while positioning the plurality of panel elements.

When the surfaces of a plurality of panel elements are arranged on substantially the same plane by the function of the position determining means for determining the front and rear positions of the panel elements, the surface of the panel constituted by these panel elements is removed. In addition, it can be made planar, good-looking, and easy to use.

When the position determining means is formed in association with at least one end of the panel element and one end of another panel element adjacent thereto, the opening width of the slit is reduced by the function of the position determining means of forming the slit. It can be made smaller and less noticeable.

Further, by forming slits extending in the width direction between a plurality of panel elements arranged vertically, if an optional member is inserted into the slit, a part of the optional member may be hooked on the slit or the periphery thereof. And can be attached by simple work.

In the case of forming a horizontally long slit as described above, the panel element mainly includes a face plate portion constituting the surface thereof,
As a component of the position determining means, a first position determining portion formed along the upper end of the face plate portion so as to enter the back surface side of the face plate portion of the upper panel element from below, and a back side and lower portion of the face plate portion And a second position determining portion formed along the lower end of the face plate portion so as to be positioned in front of the first position determining portion of the side panel element. It is possible to make the configuration of the panel element having the position determining means that facilitates the position determination and the formation of the slit concrete and simple.

When each panel element is configured as described above,
Panel elements adjacent to the upper end and the lower end of each panel element set a contact portion where they are in contact with each other, and further correspond to the first position determining unit or the second position determining unit or a connection portion with both face plate portions. If it is formed at a lower position or a higher position than the upper and lower contact portions, not only the adjacent panel elements can be brought into close contact with each other by the contact portion to improve the appearance of the entire surface of the panel, but also the first position determining portion and the first The slit can be easily formed by the height positional relationship between the two position determining unit and the contact unit.

Further, when the panel element is formed by forming a face plate portion, a first position determining portion and a second position determining portion mainly by bending a single plate material, the number of components is reduced and the panel element is easily manufactured. It is possible to

In this case, specifically, the contact portion is formed at both ends at the upper end of the face plate portion and substantially the entire area of the lower end. Also, the base end of the first position determining unit, which is obtained by bending the plate material into an L-shape toward the rear and upward at the lower position, is set at the lower end of the face plate and inclined obliquely upward with a width substantially equal to that of the first position determining unit. The base end of the second position determination unit that is formed by bending the plate material is set so that a part of the optional member is determined by the first position determination unit of the lower panel element and the second position determination of the upper panel element If it is configured to be sandwiched and supported at the position inserted in the slit formed between the
It is possible to easily manufacture a panel element which has good stability when the optional member enters and exits from the slit and is inserted and has a good appearance.

Further, when a pair of left and right vertical frame members simultaneously support the side end portions of each panel element made of a plate material, the side end portions of the plate material are bent rearward on the panel element to thereby reduce the side of the face plate portion. Forming a continuous side wall at the end,
When the side wall is attached to the vertical frame member, each panel element can be easily fixed at a vertically arranged position.

When the above-described panel is applied to a desktop panel attached to a desk, it is particularly useful to attach optional members such as shelves and trays to the desktop panel and use it. It is possible.
