Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a column which can be used as a wiring space or the like and which can be attached with an optional member.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art With the recent promotion of office automation, many wirings are overflowing in offices. In particular, the wiring that runs from the floor or the wiring that is pulled down from the ceiling to the room tends to be exposed in an unsightly form in the office space. Or it may cause an unexpected accident.

On the other hand, recently, a specific work space is formed by supporting a horizontal member on a plurality of columns standing upright on the floor of an office and arranging optional members such as panels, storage shelves, and a top plate. It has become known to do so.
The work space with such a structure has attracted attention because it allows flexible office layout, but by providing a wiring guide function to the pillars that construct the work space, a clean office space that does not expose wiring is created. It is also considered to form.

In addition, a computer, a lighting device, and the like, which require particularly a lot of wiring, are arranged on the desk, so that wiring that is erected from under the floor is installed inside the leg columns that support the top plate of the desk. It is also considered that they will be guided. With a strut or leg strut with such a configuration,
As a single cavity that extends vertically through the interior of the column, the cavity is used as a wiring guideway, and columns (including leg columns) are composed of a column body and a cover attached along one edge of the column body. However, it is general that a space serving as a wiring guide path is formed between the support body and the cover.

[0005]

However, power lines such as OA equipment and lighting equipment, communication lines such as in-house LANs and WANs, and wiring such as connecting cables between OA equipment are previously provided in the wiring guideway along the main pillar body. If you try to attach the cover to the main body of the support while it is running, or if the wiring extends from the power outlet or information outlet that is attached to the cover to the main body of the support, the space between the cover and the main body of the support will be The wiring may interfere with the mounting part of and the cover may be difficult to mount. In addition, considering the recent situation in which many types of wiring are mixed and used at the same time, if the column or leg column is configured to have only one wiring guideway as described above, the wiring is classified by type and purpose. Since it is difficult to classify into, it is difficult to judge which wiring is which wiring at a glance. In particular, the wiring is classified into information or communication and electric power depending on the device in which it is used, and they are classified into weak electric power and strong electric power, and the corresponding outlets are also provided separately. It is normal to Therefore, instead of storing the wirings in the wiring guideway in a random manner, it is desirable to store them separately in different wiring guideways for each type, and if possible, to freely change the wirings by the user according to the usage mode. There are also requests. Further, in order to pass the wire through the wire guide path formed inside the pillar or to take out the wire, it is necessary to lift or tilt the pillar, which requires a large amount of work and is extremely complicated.

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a useful wiring guide function capable of accommodating wirings drawn out from under the floor or from the ceiling, and makes it extremely easy to attach the cover to the pillar body. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a column whose main purpose is to do so.

[0007]

[Means for Solving the Problems] That is, the pillar of the present invention comprises a pillar main body placed on the floor surface in an upright posture, and a cover attached to the pillar main body. A space extending along the longitudinal direction of the strut body is formed between the strut body and the cover, and the strut body serves as a core of the strut body and a central body arranged in a standing posture on the floor. , A plurality of arms protruding outward from the central body and extending vertically along the central body, and the cover can be attached to any part of the adjacent arms except for the distal ends thereof. In addition to forming the cover mounting portion, a mounting portion to be mounted in a pair corresponding to the cover mounting portion of the adjacent arm is formed at a position closer to the inner side than the end portion in the width direction of the cover. Take these covers And a pair of partition walls that form a main duct that extends continuously in the vertical direction and that can accommodate wiring and the like together with the outer wall of the central body, is formed further inside the pair of mounting portions that are composed of the mounting portion and the mounted portion. It has a feature.

As the columns, columns of a structure for supporting a horizontal member or the like to form a predetermined work space, legs of a desk or a table, columns for supporting a partition panel, etc.
Although it can be applied to various stanchions in general, the stanchion having the above-described structure can be used as a wiring guide path along the stanchion between the center body and arm of the stanchion main body and the cover attached thereto. The space can be easily formed. Then, in the space, the things that tend to be chaotic such as the wiring arranged along the strut body and the wiring extending from the outlet attached to the cover to the strut body side are arranged in the main duct between the pair of partition walls. Since it can be stored upright, as a result, the cover can be smoothly attached to the column main body without interfering with the wiring and the mounting portion. Further, between the partition wall and the arm, one or a plurality of separate spaces are formed which are partitioned from the space between the partition walls in which the main duct is formed. It is also possible to classify and store such items.

In particular, when the cover mounting portion is formed closer to the base end than the middle between the base end and the tip of each arm,
Since the distance between the cover attaching portions of a pair of adjacent arms is small, wiring or the like is apt to interfere with the attaching portion in the conventional case, but the partition wall is closer to the base end portion than the cover attaching portion of the arm. By forming it so as to project outward from the outer wall of the central body, such a problem can be effectively eliminated. Further, in the case where the cover attachment portion is formed at the base end portion that is continuous with the central body in each arm, it is preferable to form the partition wall so as to project outward from the outer wall of the central body in order to eliminate the above-mentioned problems. Is valid.

When the outlet holding portion capable of holding the outlet is formed on a part of the cover by using such a structure, the outlet holding portion is held in the main duct formed between the pair of partition walls. If it is configured to accommodate a part of the outlet, the wiring extending from the outlet can be suitably stored in the main duct. In addition, even if an opening window is formed in a part of the cover for communicating the inside of the space formed between the cover and the pillar body to the outside,
The wiring can be easily pulled out from the inside of the main duct to the outside of the column.

As a preferred mounting structure for the cover and the pillar main body, the cover is projected to the pillar main body side at a position closer to the inside of the cover main body constituting the outer wall of the pillar and the widthwise end of the cover main body. As the one having the attached portion formed by the above, there is one configured such that the attached portion is detachably engaged with the cover attaching portion at the attaching portion.

In this case, in order to form a plurality of partitioned spaces between a pair of arms using a single cover, both side end portions of the cover body are positioned in front of the tip end portions of the arms. It is preferable.

On the other hand, optional members such as a ceiling plate, a shelf, a panel, a lighting fixture, and a wiring duct extending between the columns are attached to such a column to provide a flexible office space as a meeting room, a group or an individual space. In order to enable the formation, the tip of the arm is exposed to the outside between the side ends of the adjacent cover bodies with the cover attached, and the option member mounting portion is attached to the tip of the outer arm. It is desirable to form. By doing so, it becomes possible to attach the optional member without affecting the wiring or the like in the space formed in the column.

In such a case, in order to be able to freely change the mounting height position of the optional member, the optional member mounting portion extends continuously up and down along the column body and opens outward. Therefore, it is preferable to provide a continuous groove formed at the tip of the arm. Corresponding to such a continuous groove, as a preferable concrete structure to which an optional member can be easily attached, a continuous groove having a shape in which the inside is wider than the opening edge is continuously connected. From the option member side to the nut member, which is restricted from slipping out of the opening edge by rotating the opening edge of the groove in a standing posture and rotating in one direction about the horizontal axis inside the groove An example is one configured so that it can be attached by screwing.

In a concrete example in which the pillars having the above-mentioned structure can be arranged regardless of the direction around the vertical axis to simplify the construction, the same shape is formed around the central body. It is preferable that the plurality of arms formed be made to project at substantially equal intervals.

[0016]

Various optional members such as can be attached to the column 2. Particularly, when the top plate 10y does not have a wiring guiding function, if the wiring duct 10x is mounted between the support columns 2 at a height substantially the same as the mounting height position of the top plate 10y, wiring will be performed. A suitable wiring guide function that does not expose the wiring to the outside can be attached to the vicinity of the top plate 10y by the duct 10x.

As described above, in the column 2 of this embodiment, the vertically extending spaces S1 and S2 are formed between the column body 3 and the cover 6 attached thereto, and in the space S1, the column 2 is formed. The main duct 5 surrounded by the partition wall 56 provided on the pillar main body 3 and the outer side wall 41 of the central body 4 inside the attachment portion Y of the main body 3 and the cover 6.
7 is further formed. The space S1 and the space S2 are partitioned by the partition wall 56 and the projecting wall 62 of the cover 6. As shown by imaginary lines in FIG. 8, various wirings H1 and H2 such as power lines and communication lines that are raised from the floor F or pulled down from the ceiling can be classified and passed through the respective spaces S1 and S2. The spaces S1 and S2 can be used as suitable wiring guide paths. In this case, for example, high-power wiring H1 for power supply is stored in the first space S1, and low-power wiring H2 for information communication is stored in the first space S2, and these are installed in the cover mounting portion 53 and the protruding wall. By partitioning by 62, wiring for each type can be easily performed. In particular, a pair of opposing partition walls 5
6 is a base end portion 51 rather than a pair of opposing cover attachment portions 53.
Since it is provided on the a side, the cover 6 is provided on the space S1 side.
The cover 6 is attached to the pillar main body 3 by accommodating the rear end portions C1b and C2b and the wirings C1c and C2c of the power outlet C1 and the information outlet C2 provided in the main duct 57 in the main duct 57. In doing so, the wirings C1c, C2c and the wirings H do not hinder the engagement between the protruding wall 62 and the cover mounting portion 53, and thus the cover 6
It is possible to extremely facilitate the mounting work of.

Particularly, since the column 2 of this embodiment is applied to the structure 1 which forms the working space in the office together with the horizontal member 8 and the like, it is expected that a large number of wirings H will be used. However, the wirings H1 and H2 are formed by such a pillar 2.
By classifying and guiding the objects and concealing them with the cover 6, it is possible to make the office space neat and improve work efficiency and effectively prevent accidents. In addition, the wirings C1c, C guided to the pillar 2
2c and wirings H are also guided to the horizontal member 8 so that other columns 2
It is also possible to route to.

In particular, the cover 6 is formed with an outlet holding portion 63, and the outlet holding portion 63 is provided with a power outlet C.
1 and the information outlet C2 are held, the wiring C1 extending from these outlets C1 and C2
By accommodating c and C2c in the main duct 57 so as not to interfere when the protruding wall 62 is attached to the cover attaching portion 53, it is convenient for the attaching work of the cover 6.

Further, since the cover 6 can be attached to and detached from the column main body 3, if the cover 6 is removed even after the column main body 3 is installed, the wirings C1c, C2c and the wirings H accommodated in the space S are exposed. , Wiring work and maintenance can be easily performed. Further, since the cover 6 is made of an elastically deformable material made of synthetic resin, it can be easily attached to and detached from the column main body 3 by utilizing the elastic deformation, and does not easily fall off after the attachment. You can also do so.

The concrete structure of the pillar main body 3 is composed of a central body 4 which is the core of the main body 3 and four arms 5 projecting outward from the central body 4, and the extending direction of the arms 5. Since the cover attaching portion 53 is formed closer to the base end portion 51a than the intermediate position in the above, and the cover 6 is attached to the cover attaching portions 53 of the adjacent arms 5,
The cover 6 can be easily attached to the strut body 3 having a simple structure, and the space S1 adjacent to the arm body 51 while forming a suitable space S1 between the strut body 3 and the cover 6.
It is easy to add a function as a partition for partitioning each other.

More specifically, a pair of projecting walls 62, which are attached portions, are formed on the cover 6 side, and the protruding wall 62 is attached to the cover attaching portion 53.
Since the cover body 61 is positioned in front of the tip of the arm 5, both ends of the cover body 61 are positioned in front of the space (first space) S1. In addition to the above, second spaces S2 can be formed on both sides of the second space S2. Therefore, the pillar 2 is formed with four first spaces S1 and eight second spaces S2. That is, the space H1 that can be used as a total of 12 wiring guide paths by one column body 3 and four covers 6,
Since H2 is obtained, it is possible to very suitably store the wirings sorted by type.

a'and a claw portion 62a 'formed at the tip of the protruding wall 62a are detachably engaged with each other. Even with the pillar 1 having such a configuration, the main duct 57 'is formed between the partition walls 56'.
By accommodating the wirings H, the wiring C1c such as the outlet C1 and the like in the 7 ', the same operational effects as those of the above-described embodiment such as easy mounting of the cover 6 are achieved. Further, in addition to this, even if the cover mounting portion is provided at the base end portion of the arm main body 51 and the partition wall is provided on the outer wall of the central body which is inside the pair of opposing cover mounting portions, It goes without saying that the same effect can be obtained.

In addition, the cover is provided with an opening window through which the wiring accommodated in the space between the supporting column body and the wiring can be drawn out, and the wiring can be routed from the supporting column to the outside through the opening window. The above is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

As described in detail above, according to the present invention, between the pillar main body in which the pillar is arranged in a standing posture on the floor surface and the cover attached to the pillar main body, the longitudinal direction of the pillar main body is set. Since the space extending along the line is formed, the space can be used as a wiring guide path. Then, for mounting the cover, a cover mounting portion is formed at a portion other than the base end portion and the tip end portion of the plurality of arms extending outwardly from the central body forming the core portion of the strut, and the cover mounting portion is mounted on the cover mounting portion. Since the attached portion to be attached is formed on the cover and the main duct is formed between the cover attaching portion of these adjacent arms and the partition wall formed inside the attached portion, the main duct is inserted into the space. If the wiring is stored, the wiring will not interfere with the approach of the mounted part to the cover mounting part when the cover is attached.
It is possible to attach the cover to the main body of the pillar with a smooth operation. Further, if the space is partitioned into a plurality of parts by the cover mounting part, the mounted part, the partition wall, etc., it is possible to classify and arrange a plurality of types of wirings in the partitioned space.

Further, when applied as a pillar of a structure for supporting a horizontal member or the like to form a predetermined working space as a pillar, a leg pillar of a desk or a table, and the like, at least a power line or communication that can be pulled up from under the floor to start up. Various kinds of wiring such as wires can be suitably classified and housed, and can be hidden by a cover to clean the indoor space such as an office. Furthermore, work efficiency can be improved and accidents can be effectively prevented. It is possible. Further, if the pillar extends from the floor surface to the vicinity of the ceiling, wirings drawn from the ceiling can be classified and accommodated in the same manner.
