Description

  The present invention relates to a table used in a meeting area such as an office.

In the meeting area, a panel with a writable surface that can be confirmed by multiple workers in the meeting area in order to encourage more free ideas and remarks and to encourage active exchange of opinions. Are often used (for example, Patent Documents 1, 2, and 3).
However, in the case of such a panel body, the writing surface is arranged perpendicularly to the floor surface, resulting in a structure that is difficult to write. In addition, it was necessary to install a table on which writing tools and tools for erasing written characters were placed. In such a structure, a whiteboard or blackboard is often used for the writing surface, so there is also a problem that powder is generated when writing and erasing the written object. Was.
Also, in the meeting area, a meeting table is often arranged so that it can be used as a table for writing a memo, and a meeting can be conducted while placing and referring to materials. However, since the materials on the table and the writing surface such as the panel exist individually, the usability is deteriorated when making meetings while referring to them at the same time.

JP 2003-89296 A (see FIG. 1) Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 7-251598 JP-A-11-253257

  An object of the present invention is to provide a meeting area table that can be used in a meeting area and can improve the efficiency and activation of the meeting.

According to the present invention, the above problem is solved as follows.
(1) A table provided with a writable surface formed by a magnetic writing board on the top surface of the top plate.

  (2) In the above item (1), an engagement groove is formed on the top surface of the top plate, and an attachment member is engaged with and fixed to the engagement groove, and is projected to the side of the attachment member. The magnetic writing board is attached to the upper surface of the top plate by sandwiching the magnetic writing board between the pressed piece and the upper surface of the top plate.

  (3) In the above item (2), the mounting member is caused to project a contact piece on a side opposite to the presser piece, and a lower surface of the contact piece is brought into contact with an upper surface of the top plate.

  (4) In the above item (3), the engagement groove is formed in a substantially mouth shape in plan view, and a long attachment member for engaging the attachment member with a linear portion of the engagement groove; It is comprised by the corner attachment member engaged with the corner part of a joint groove.

  (5) In the above item (4), the outer side wall of the corner attachment member is provided with protrusions laterally outwardly, and hollow holes are provided at both ends of the long attachment member. The fitting member is configured by assembling the long attachment member and the corner attachment member by fitting the protrusions in the corner attachment member into the holes.

  (6) In the above item (5), a screw hole that opens downward is formed in the lower portion of the corner attachment member, and a hole reaching the lower surface of the top plate is formed in the bottom surface of the corner portion of the engagement groove. The mounting member is fixed to the top plate by screwing the screw inserted through the hole from below into the screw hole of the corner mounting member.

  (7) In any one of the above items (1) to (6), a recess is provided on the upper surface of the attachment member, and the writing instrument or the eraser for the flat plate can be accommodated in the recess.

According to the present invention, the following effects can be achieved.
(A) According to the invention described in claim 1, since the writing surface of the common information such as the minutes is formed on the top board, the environment surrounding all the tables and easily accessible to all workers participating in the meeting Therefore, the meeting can be made more efficient and active.
In addition, a magnetic writing board is used to form the writing surface, and even when a document is placed on the writing surface, there is no possibility of being contaminated by “powder” or “ink”, which is hygienic.

(B) According to the invention described in claim 2, since the magnetic writing board is sandwiched between the pressing piece of the mounting member engaged with the engaging groove and the upper surface of the top plate, the magnetic writing board can be easily mounted. The upper surface of the mounting member is almost flush with the upper surface of the magnetic writing board, and the magnetic writing board is easy to see and write.

(C) According to the invention described in claim 3, since the contact piece provided on the side opposite to the presser piece is in contact with the top plate, the reaction force received by the contact piece from the top plate is magnetic. It acts downward on the presser piece that holds the writing board, and the holding force for holding the magnetic writing board becomes stronger.

(D) According to the invention described in claim 4, since the entire peripheral edge of the magnetic writing board is held by the mounting member, the magnetic writing board is more firmly supported by the top board.

(E) According to the invention described in claim 5, the long attachment member and the corner attachment member can be easily assembled and integrated to obtain the attachment member.

(F) According to the invention described in claim 6, since the attachment member is fixed in the engagement groove by the screw, the attachment member is securely held without coming out of the engagement groove.

(G) According to the seventh aspect of the present invention, since the writing instrument or the like can be accommodated in the concave portion of the attachment member, the writing instrument or the like can always be positioned at a predetermined position, which is convenient.

  Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 9 is a sectional view taken along line IX-IX in FIG. 8, FIG. 10 is a sectional view taken along line XX in FIG. 8, and FIGS. 11 (a), 11 (b) and 11 (c) are other embodiments. It is a top view which shows this table.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the table (1) is engaged with a table body (4) having an engagement groove (3) defined in a square shape at the center of the top plate (2). A magnetic writing board (5) having substantially the same shape as the square defined by the inner edge of the groove (3), and being inserted into the engaging groove (3), the magnetic writing board (5) is attached to the top plate (2). And an attachment member (6) to be attached to.

  As shown in FIG. 9, a relatively large-diameter hole (3a) is formed on the bottom surface of the corner of the engagement groove (3). The hole (3a) is reduced in diameter with a stepped portion, and the top plate A small diameter hole (3b) communicating with the lower surface of (2) is formed.

The magnetic writing board (5) is a known writing board using magnetism (for example, Japanese Patent No. 2841291), in which a microcapsule is dispersed between a plastic film serving as a pressure buffer member and a transparent recording magnetic writing board. In the microcapsule, a light-absorbing magnetic powder and a light-reflecting nonmagnetic powder are dispersed in a dispersion medium and encapsulated in a microcapsule.
In this magnetic writing board (5), the magnetic powder in the microcapsule is moved or migrated to the pressure buffering member side so that the display on the recording magnetic writing board is erased, and the rod-shaped magnet as the writing tool is removed. Use it to move the magnetic powder in the capsule to the recording magnetic writing board side by drawing lines etc. on the recording magnetic writing board, and to draw black lines etc. that are magnetic powder on the recording magnetic writing board It has become.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the attachment member (6) includes four long attachment members (7) formed along the straight portion of the engagement groove (3) and corners of the engagement groove (3). And four corner mounting members (8) to be inserted and fitted.
