Description

  The present invention relates to a desk (table) having a side panel.

  A desk generally has a structure in which a top plate is supported by left and right legs, and a side panel may be attached for blindfolding or document pinup.

  As a means for attaching the side panel, a hole having an upward opening is formed in a side portion of the top panel, and a leg projecting from the lower surface of the side panel is fitted into the hole, or the side panel is provided on the side panel of the top panel. An upward bracket that overlaps the front surface and the rear surface is fixed, and a side panel is fixed to the bracket (in the latter case, a cover that covers the bracket is attached to the front and rear surfaces of the side panel).

  In the conventional mode in which the side panel is attached to the top surface of the top plate, it is necessary to provide mounting holes and brackets on the top plate, so there is a risk that the holes will be exposed after the side panel is removed and the aesthetic appearance will be impaired. It was. When a cap that covers holes is provided, the cap may be lost.

  In some cases, the side panel may be arranged so as to extend below the top plate. In this case, for example, an engagement hole is formed on the outer surface of the leg, while the side panel is engaged with the engagement hole. Although the method of forming a nail | claw can be considered, there exists a possibility that the beauty | look may be spoiled because the engagement hole of a leg is exposed when the side panel is not used. Moreover, there exists a possibility that it may be inferior to attachment strength.

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, the top plate includes a downward projection that fits into the receiving portion, and the receiving member, the downward convex portion of the top plate, and the bracket of the side panel are bolts that extend horizontally. It is tightened together.

  In the present invention, since the bracket for attaching the side panel is inserted between the top plate and the leg or sleeve cabinet, it is not necessary to make a hole for touching the top plate or the leg. After that, there is no loss of aesthetics. Further, since the side panel is disposed outside the top plate, it can be easily extended, for example, close to the floor and used as a blindfold inside the desk.

  In addition, the side panel can be placed on the side of the leg or sleeve cabinet, and the bracket can be firmly tightened with bolts, etc., making it possible to increase the mounting strength of the side panel. Become.
