  The present invention relates to the structure of a desk, and more particularly to the configuration of a magazine rack that can support an article such as a magazine by leaning between a pair of front and rear leg posts that support a desk top plate.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a leg body that supports a tabletop, for example, as shown in Patent Documents 1 and 2, a box-shaped body in which at least one side surface (lateral surface) is open is known. In addition, there is a box-like leg body that can store articles such as books and can be easily taken out from the outer surface side of the desk.
JP-A-8-366 (see FIG. 5) JP 2004-16450 A (see FIG. 1)

  However, when a box-like leg is used, the width of the leg (the dimension along the front of the desk) increases, so that the space where a person's leg under the tabletop can enter is narrowed, and the chair It is difficult to turn a person's legs sideways while sitting on the floor. Also, with box-like legs that are open only on the left and right sides of the desk, when such desks are placed side by side, it is impossible to store and take out articles from both the left and right sides of the desk. There was a problem.

  The present invention has been made in view of the disadvantages of the prior art described above, and a magazine rack is formed by utilizing a space between a pair of front and rear leg struts having a relatively small dimension along a desk opening direction. Another object of the present invention is to provide a desk that can easily store and take out articles from the magazine rack.

  In order to achieve the above object, the desk according to the first aspect of the present invention comprises a pair of left and right legs that support the table top plate, each comprising a pair of front and rear legs, and at least a pair of legs in the one leg. Between the leg posts, a magazine rack that opens at least on the outer side or on both the inner and outer sides is provided.

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the desk according to the first aspect, the magazine rack is connected to the pair of leg columns to support an article such as a book, and the bottom support member. It is composed of a pair of midway support members that are connected between the pair of leg struts at an appropriate upper position so as to be able to support the front and back of an article such as a book.

  According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the desk according to the second aspect, the outer edge of the member in the magazine rack is located within the projected area of the tabletop in plan view.

  According to the first aspect of the present invention, the magazine rack can be formed by utilizing the space between the pair of front and rear leg columns whose dimensions along the front direction of the desk are relatively small. While the direction of the person's legs can be changed relatively easily, there is an effect that it is possible to easily take in and out books at least from the outer surface side of the desk.

  According to the second aspect of the present invention, the magazine rack is connected to the pair of front and rear leg posts to support the article such as a book, and the pair of magazine racks at a position appropriately above the bottom support member. The structure of the magazine rack is relatively simple, and the bottom of the magazine rack is relatively simple. By connecting the pair of front and rear leg struts with the support member and the pair of intermediate support members above it, there is an effect that the rigidity of the leg can be increased and the support structure of the tabletop can be strengthened. .

  According to invention of Claim 3, since the outer edge of the member in the said magazine rack is located within the projection area of the said table top board in planar view, the several desk was arranged in succession on either side In this case, the magazine racks do not interfere with each other even if the side edges of the adjacent table top plates are placed in contact with each other without any gap. In addition, if the magazine rack is configured to be open to both the inner and outer sides, the article can be easily taken in and out from the space between the pair of left and right legs below the tabletop. Play.

  Next, a description will be given based on the embodiment described in FIGS. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a wooden desk 1 to which the present invention is applied. A wooden desk top plate 2 having a rectangular shape in a plan view is supported by a pair of left and right legs 3 and 3. Each leg 3 is composed of a pair of front and rear leg posts 4, 4 having a rectangular cross section. The upper ends of the leg posts 4 are connected to a horizontal frame 8 having an L-shaped cross section. As shown in FIG. 6, a drawer frame 7 for supporting the drawer 6 so as to be movable back and forth, a lower surface of the tabletop 2 On the other hand, it is firmly connected to the horizontal frame 8 and the bolts 9 and 10 via the demon nuts 11 and 12 embedded in the mating member.

  In addition, you may cover the head with the synthetic resin cap 13 in the location where the head of each bolt 9 and 10 protruded from the member.

  Further, a book stand 5 having a conventionally known configuration is placed on the top surface of the tabletop plate 2 and can be fixed to the tabletop plate 2 with a fixing bracket (not shown). Further, a rear curtain plate 14 is attached to the rear surface of the desk 1 between the leg posts 4 and 4 at the rear position.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, the first embodiment of the magazine rack 15 is provided using a space between a pair of front and rear leg columns 4 and 4 in the left and right legs 3. The magazine rack 15 includes a bottom support member 20 that supports the lower end of a flat article (magazine) having a flat shape (a height dimension larger than the thickness dimension), and the front and back surfaces of the article 16. It consists of a pair of midway support members 21 and 22 that can be supported. A protrusion 20a is integrally formed on the outer edge of the upper surface of the bottom support member 20, and is configured so as not to drop off when the article 16 is placed at an angle.

  The inner middle support member 21 is a flat plate extending from the upper surface of the bottom support member 20 to the lower surface of the tabletop plate 2, and the outer middle support member 22 is a horizontally long plate having a short height. The depth dimension of the bottom support member 20 and the pair of midway support members 21 and 22 (the dimension in the depth direction of the desk 1) is set to be equal to the dimension between the inner surfaces of the pair of front and rear leg posts 4 and 4 and adjacent to each other. A member, for example, a contact portion between the upper end surface of the midway support member 21 and the horizontal frame 8, a contact portion between a lower end surface of the midway support member 21 and the upper surface of the bottom support member 20, and front and rear end surfaces of the midway support members 21, 22 A round shaft-shaped dowel hole is previously drilled in a contact portion between the leg struts 4 and 4 and the inner surfaces of the leg columns 4 and 4. After the dowel shaft 23 for connecting two adjacent members is driven into the dowel hole of the member on one side, the user fits the other end of the dowel shaft 23 into the dowel hole of the counterpart member so that the user can hold the desk 1 When assembling, the members are sequentially connected (see FIG. 5).

  As in the first embodiment, when the midway support member 21 is formed so as to extend from the upper surface of the bottom support member 20 to the lower surface of the desk top plate 2, the magazine rack 15 has the left and right outer sides of the desk 1. The article 16 can be taken in and out only from the beginning. On the other hand, since the height of the midway support member 21 of the magazine rack 15 is large, the rigidity of the leg 3 provided with the magazine rack 15 is increased, and even if a large external force is applied to the desk 1, the desk top plate 2 is affected. Thus, there is no inconvenience such as tilting the pair of front and rear leg posts 4, 4.

  As shown in FIGS. 4 and 6, both ends of the hanger horizontal shaft 24 are fixed to the tall midway support member 21 via mounting brackets 25, bolts 10 and the like. The article 27 can be suspended through the character-shaped hanger 26.

  According to the magazine rack 15 configured as described above, when an article 16 such as a magazine having a flat shape is inserted between the pair of midway support members 21 and 22 from the left and right outer sides of the desk 1, the lower surface of the article 16 is supported by the bottom. Even if the article 16 is supported by the member 20 and the article 16 is inclined in the thickness direction, the front or back surface of the article 16 is supported by one of the pair of midway support members 21 and 22, and the protrusion of the upper surface of the bottom support member 20 is supported. Since the lower edge of the article 16 abuts on the strip 20a, the article 16 does not fall off from the magazine rack 15.

  FIG. 7A shows a second embodiment of the magazine rack 15, and the pair of midway support members 30, 31 are fixed at positions appropriately separated above the bottom support member 32. The inner halfway support member 30 has a plate shape with a short height, and the outer halfway support member 31 has a round bar shape. It may replace with this and may comprise a halfway support member in the shape of a round bar. In addition, protrusions 32 a for preventing falling off are integrally formed on the inside and outside of the upper surface of the bottom support member 32.

  FIG. 7B shows a third embodiment of the magazine rack 15. Of the pair of midway support members 33, 34, the inner midway support member 33 is disposed within the lateral width of the leg columns 4, 4, but the outer midway support member 34 slightly protrudes from the lateral width of the leg columns 4, 4. However, the outer edge of the outer midway support member 34 is within the projected area of the tabletop 2 in plan view. In other words, when a vertical line is dropped from the side edge of the tabletop plate 2, the outer edge of the outer halfway support member 34 is located inside the vertical line. Further, the protrusion 35a of the bottom support member 3 may have the same form as the first embodiment or the second embodiment.

  According to the second and third embodiments, the upper portions of the pair of midway support members 30, 31, 33, and 34 are open to both the inside and outside of the desk 1, so that a plurality of desks 2 can be provided side by side. The article can be taken in and out between the pair of left and right legs 3 and 3 with respect to the lower magazine rack 15.

  FIG. 8 shows another embodiment of the connection between the mid-support members 22, 30, 31, 33, 34 and the bottom support members 20, 32, 35 and the leg columns 4, 4 in the respective embodiments. The mounting height position of the support member with respect to the leg columns 4 and 4 can be changed. For this purpose, attachment holes (lateral holes) 36 are provided at predetermined or appropriate intervals at a plurality of positions at the height position of the leg support 4, and each of the above-mentioned midway supports is provided according to the height dimension of the article 16 to be supported. The member and the bottom support member can be fixed by a fixing bolt 37 so as to change the mounting position. In this case, the demon nut 11 is embedded in the end faces of the midway support members and the bottom support members. The head of the bolt 37 can be covered with the cap 13.
