Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a decorative edge member and an edge structure to be attached to an edge (edge) of a top plate on a desk or a table, and more particularly to a metal plate whose top body is made of metal. Apply to the top plate.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A desk or table has a general structure in which an upper plate member and a lower plate member are connected by a reinforcing member, and an end face reinforcing plate having a U-shaped or Z-shaped cross section inside the edge. Attach the to make the top plate body, attach the decorative edge material to the end face groove formed on the outside of the end face reinforcing plate, and attach the decorative finish plate to the surface of the upper plate material.

The decorative edging material is mounted to adjust the appearance of the edge of the top plate main body and to prevent the top plate main body from being damaged by an external impact, but the material is mainly made of soft or hard resin. The molded product of (1) is used, and various proposals have been made and implemented regarding the shape of the decorative edge material and the attachment structure (edge structure) to the edge.

For example, in the edge structure disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 6-14576, between the top plate and the bottom plate,
The side frame with a U-shaped cross section and protruding locking pieces on the upper and lower inner surfaces is fixed with the opening facing outward, and the opening of the side frame has a rectangular tubular shape with the upper and lower horizontal pieces bent inward. A mounting frame having a fitting groove formed therebetween is fitted and locked, and a horizontal projection piece of a decorative edge material is fitted and locked in the fitting groove of the mounting frame.

In the case of the edge structure according to this proposal, unless the synthetic resin material used for the decorative edge material is hard to some extent, it cannot be press-fitted into the fitting groove of the mounting frame to be engaged and locked, When a hard synthetic resin material is used, there remains a problem that needs improvement, such as impairing the cushioning effect when it is hit from the outside.

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides a decorative edge material and an edge structure for a top plate in a desk or the like which can solve the problems in the prior art. Particularly, the decorative edge material is a soft synthetic resin having high elasticity. Made of rubber or rubber to enhance the cushioning effect, and the decorative edge material can be easily attached to the main body of the top plate. Its main purpose is to be able to connect to the attached makeup cover.

[0007]

A decorative edge material for a top plate in a desk or the like according to the present invention has an end face groove formed by connecting the inside edges of the upper plate member and the lower plate member with an end face reinforcing plate. It accommodates a locking member that opens outward and has locking pieces protruding upward and downward, and press-fits the end surface groove into the metal top plate body with the inside of the locking member attached to the end surface reinforcing plate. It is applied to a decorative edge material that is attached via a locking member.

This decorative edge material is made of a soft resin or rubber having elasticity and flexibility, and has a thick shape with its outer surface bulging outward in a curved shape to the outside of the edge. It is equipped with a locking groove into which the stopper fits, and a mounting piece and a locking projection that project from both sides of the locking groove and press and hold the locking piece from inside and outside. A mounting hole was drilled along it.

According to this decorative edging material, since the outer surface is formed in a thick shape in which the outer surface is bulged outward in a curved shape, the top plate has a cushioning effect due to elasticity even if an external impact is applied. There is little risk of damage, and when the inner surface is press-fitted into the end surface groove portion, it can be easily mounted via the locking piece of the locking member.

In particular, by providing a mounting hole along the edge in the center of the mounting piece, the diameter of the mounting piece is reduced in the compressed state and then the expanded state is restored when the mounting piece is mounted. It can be firmly sandwiched from above and below, and the decorative edge material can be used by cutting a long material extruded or drawn into a desired length and used, and can be provided at low cost. .

According to the edge structure of the top plate of the desk or the like according to the present invention, the decorative ridges are formed by projecting the connecting protrusions from the decorative covers attached to both end portions of the decorative rim, and pressing the connecting protrusions into the mounting holes. It is possible to take a form in which the side end of the table is locked and held by a decorative cover, and with the edge structure of this top plate,
In addition to the effect of the decorative edging material, it is possible to prevent both end portions of the decorative edging material from curling during use.
