BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a desk provided with an auxiliary desk that can be stored in a desk body.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, personal computers have been increasingly used in various fields. However, when using a personal computer, a display device (such as a CRT),
Various accessory devices such as a keyboard and a printer are required.
When these devices are placed on a desk, there is a problem that the available area on the desk is reduced, and a place for placing documents or the like cannot be secured. Therefore, it has been proposed to increase the available area by using an auxiliary table in addition to the top plate of the desk body. For example, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open Publication No. Hei 6-66370 describes an auxiliary table that can be easily and simply attached to a top plate.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The aforementioned Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open Publication No. 6-66.
In the case of a fixed auxiliary table as described in Japanese Patent No. 370, it is not possible to use the auxiliary table only when necessary, and to store it in the desk body when not necessary. Also, instead of an auxiliary table only for the purpose of using the mounting surface, if it is an auxiliary desk equipped with storage means such as drawers and shelves, a storage place for documents and the like can be secured, and This is advantageous because there is no problem of strength or stability as seen in a cantilever table or the like. Further, it is desirable that the available horizontal mounting surface can be formed as wide as possible. The present invention has been made based on such circumstances, and provides a desk provided with an auxiliary desk that can form a wide mounting surface when used and can be stored when not in use. The purpose is to:

[0004]

The inventor of the present invention has studied to solve the above-mentioned problems, and as a result, has placed an auxiliary plate between the desk main body and the auxiliary desk main body, and the auxiliary plate performs a specific operation. With this configuration, the present inventor has conceived of obtaining a desired desk, and thus completed the present invention.

[0005] That is, the desk according to the first aspect of the present invention is a desk main body, and an auxiliary desk provided to the desk main body so that any of a stored state and a drawn-out state can be appropriately selected. Wherein the auxiliary desk comprises an auxiliary desk main body, and an auxiliary plate interposed between the auxiliary desk main body and the desk main body. In the pulled-out state, a substantially horizontal mounting surface can be formed between the auxiliary desk main body and the desk main body, and when the auxiliary desk is stored in the desk main body, the desk main body can be formed. It is characterized by being housed in an inclined position inside. With this configuration, not only the mounting surface (upper surface) of the auxiliary desk main body but also the auxiliary plate can be used as the mounting surface, so that a wide mounting surface (horizontal surface for placing objects) is secured as a whole. can do. Further, since the auxiliary plate is accommodated in the desk body in an inclined posture, it can have a relatively large length dimension without being restricted by the depth dimension of the desk body. Furthermore, when the auxiliary desk is not used, the auxiliary desk (the auxiliary plate and the auxiliary desk main body) can be stored in the desk main body, so that the space around the desk can be effectively used.

The desk has a connecting portion for turning the auxiliary plate up and down with respect to the auxiliary desk main body, and a supporting portion for supporting the desk main body. Has guide means for guiding the support portion of the auxiliary plate, and the guide means is provided in a direction in which the auxiliary desk main body is located on the desk main body (that is, in a direction toward the back plate of the desk main body). As the support portion of the auxiliary plate is configured to move downward as it moves toward,
It can be configured (claim 2). In this case, when the auxiliary desk main body moves in the direction in which the desk main body is located, the height of one end of the auxiliary plate (the connecting portion that is a connection point with the auxiliary desk main body) is kept constant. Since the other end of the auxiliary plate (the support portion that is the connection point with the desk body) moves downward,
The auxiliary plate is inclined, so that one end of the auxiliary plate (the connecting portion, which is a connection point with the auxiliary desk main body) can be made to enter deep into the desk main body. You can go deep inside.

In the desk, for example, two plate-like members (for example, a side plate and an intermediate plate which are erected in a vertical direction) in which the desk main body is disposed in parallel and opposed to each other at an appropriate interval. And the guide means (for example, a groove) of the desk main body is provided on opposing surfaces of the two plate members (claim 3). ). In the desk, for example, the guide means is formed as a groove having a curved or bent portion, and the support portion of the auxiliary plate has a protrusion fitted slidably in the groove. It can be configured as having (claim 4). With this configuration, a structure for tilting the auxiliary plate can be easily manufactured.

[0008] The support portion of the auxiliary plate may be configured to be detachable from the guide means of the desk body (claim 5). According to this configuration, the desk body and the auxiliary desk are separately prepared, and these are combined at the installation location to complete the desk of the present invention, so that the assembling work can be performed efficiently. Further, even if it becomes necessary to move the desk of the present invention after assembly, the desk main body and the auxiliary desk can be separated and transported separately, which is convenient. The auxiliary desk can be configured to be completely housed in the desk body (claim 6). With this configuration, when the auxiliary desk is not used (during storage), the space around the desk main body (particularly, in front) can be effectively used for other purposes, and the auxiliary plate in an inclined state can be used. Since it cannot be seen from the outside, the appearance of the desk becomes good.
