Description

  The present invention relates to a desk provided with a back panel, and more particularly to a desk suitable for constituting a desk system composed of a plurality of desks.

  It is widely performed to provide a back panel for partitioning a desk space on a desk (see, for example, Patent Document 1). And the back panel of the conventional desk is formed in the front view square shape, and the left-right length is set to the same dimension as the length of a top plate. Therefore, the upper end of the back panel extends horizontally across the entire length of the top plate, and the desktop space is partitioned from the rear space in a uniform state.

  Also, the top plate and the back panel are widely attached to the legs so that the height can be adjusted. In this case, generally, the top plate and the back panel are individually fixed to the legs by screws (bolts). .

  On the other hand, in recent years, desk systems that combine a plurality of desks have been developed. As one of them, the applicant of the present application can select an environment suitable for each of the left brain work, the right brain work, and the intermediate work by using a person with different work positions and postures in Patent Document 1. A desk system was proposed.

In other words, this desk system has three top plates, a top plate that performs left-brain work, a top plate that performs right-brain work, and a top plate that performs intermediate work, and a rear panel behind each top plate. The elements that can be visually grasped such as the color, material, texture, and shape of each back panel are selected to be suitable for the work contents.
Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 50-11443 JP 2003-82871 A

  The back panel has a blindfold function for partitioning the desk space, a function for attaching shelves and hangers and other articles, a function for temporarily securing paper, and the like. However, it may not be preferable to completely partition the desktop space, such as a desk used by children.

  In other words, when a child is studying, the parent has a desire to know to some extent the child's study status, and conversely, being able to confirm the parent can also lead to peace of mind. . In other words, it can be said that there is a desire to have a certain degree of openness that allows communication while maintaining a certain degree of privacy. In addition, if the work space is shielded too much, a feeling of pressure may be given.

  In particular, in a desk system in which a plurality of desks are arranged in a U-shaped layout or an L-shaped layout as in Patent Document 2, if a back panel is provided on each desk, the space enclosed by each desk is excessive. There is a risk of being shielded. Therefore, it can be said that a balance between independence (shielding) and openness (openness) is particularly required in a desk system composed of a plurality of desks.

  In addition, long members may be used, for example, when performing work using hands such as assembling a work or plastic model on a desk. In this case, if the back panel extends over the entire left and right length of the top plate, the back panel If the rear panel is not provided at all, there will be a problem that articles are likely to roll back and a fixture such as a hanger cannot be arranged.

  Also, with a conventional desk with the back panel and top plate fixed to the legs with screws, to assemble the desk, for example, with the left and right legs laid down, the top plate fixed to the legs, and then the desk raised However, while the back panel is held by one person, the other person is fixing the back panel to the legs with screws, which makes it difficult to mount the back panel. Even when changing the height of the top panel or the rear panel on a desk whose height can be adjusted, the height of the rear panel must be lifted and held each time the rear panel is installed or removed. The adjustment work was also cumbersome.

  An object of the present invention is to improve such a situation.

  According to the first aspect of the present invention, the top plate having at least the back surface extending linearly in a plan view, the left and right legs supporting the top plate, and the curtain plate extending upward and downward across the top surface of the top plate In the desk equipped with the rear panel, at least the curtain plate portion located below the top plate of the back panel has a left-right length extending over substantially the entire length of the top plate, while the back panel is located above the top plate. In the upper part of the desk, the partitioning state of the desk space is not uniform along the left-right direction and is partially cut open.

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the first aspect, the back panel has a single plate shape, and the desk top of the back panel is either the left half or the right half in front view. One side is a slit, and the desktop space is opened rearward in the slit, while the back of the left and right legs and the back of the top plate are flush with each other, and the membrane of the back panel The plate is fixed to the back of the left and right legs with screws.

  According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the first or second aspect, the top plate and the back panel are integrally fixed, and the top plate and the back panel can be adjusted in height with screws on the left and right legs, or the height cannot be adjusted. It is attached.

  According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in any one of the first to third aspects, the back panel can be arranged in an upside down posture or a left and right upside down posture. In the state, the back panel is set so as to protrude from the top plate at all or only slightly. In addition, this claim 4 also includes a configuration capable of both an upside down posture and a left and right upside down posture (that is, the word “or” in claim 4 is a concept including “and”).

  When configured as in claim 1, since the desk space is partially opened backward, for example, when used for children, the blindfolding function is maintained while maintaining the state in which the parent and the child confirm each other's existence. It is possible to harmonize the shielding and openness so that the child can concentrate on studying, etc., and as a result, when working with a desk, improving work ability and ensuring communication it can.

  In particular, it can be said that it is particularly suitable when used in a U-shaped, L-shaped or single-character layout in plan view in a set with another desk.

  In addition, when used in combination with other desks, changing the layout of the desk, the back panel of the desk of the present invention has an open part, so the image of the entire desk system can be changed dramatically, For this reason, when using each desk, it becomes possible to change the atmosphere and stimulate the user's brain to increase concentration. Such an image change can also be achieved by replacing the rear panel as in the fourth aspect.

  In addition, when a long member is used in a work or the like, the member can be placed so as to cross the top plate so as to protrude rearward from the cut-out portion of the rear panel. It can be prevented from falling by placing it in front of the desk, and equipment and accessories such as shelves, hangers, and illumination lights can be mounted using the desk top of the back panel.

  There are various ways of partially opening the back panel, but it is preferable to have a simple configuration in which substantially the left half or the right half is cut as in claim 2. In addition, since the left and right legs are fixed by the curtain plate portion of the rear panel, the structure of the desk as a whole has the advantage of being robust.

  According to the third aspect of the present invention, when assembling the desk, the back panel is laid down and the left and right legs are laid down, the top board is fixed to the left and right legs with screws, and then the top board is attached to the top board. Just hang it and wake it up. For this reason, it is not necessary for the person to lift the back panel by hand, and it is easy to assemble the desk. In addition, when adjusting the height of the top panel and the back panel, simply tilt the desk back so that the back panel lays down, shift the relative position of the top panel and legs, and fix it with screws. And it is easy to adjust the height of the back panel.

  By the way, there are various user requests for the desk, and for example, there is a case where the user desires to use the desk in an open state in which the entire desk space is opened rearward. In this regard, when configured as in claim 4, by changing the posture of the back panel upside down, it is possible to switch between a state in which the back panel is present and a state in which the back panel is completely or slightly high. It is possible to respond accurately to the request of the user. In this case, it can be said that it is particularly preferable that the rear panel is placed upside down so that the height can be changed.

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

(1) Outline of First Embodiment FIG. 1 is an overall schematic perspective view, FIG. 2 is an overall plan view, and FIG. 3 is an overall front view. First, an outline of the desk system will be described based on these drawings. The desk system of this embodiment is designed mainly assuming that it is used by children (students can also use adults).

  The desk system of the present embodiment includes a first desk 1 (one desk) suitable for left brain work such as calculation, and a third desk 3 suitable for right brain work such as assembly of a plastic model and work work. And a second desk 2 (the other desk) suitable for an intermediate work between the left brain work and the right brain work like the operation of the personal computer P. Each of the desks 1, 2, and 3 includes top plates 4, 5, and 6, and the first desk 1 and the second desk 2 are arranged in an L shape in plan view.

  Therefore, the desk system as a whole has a U-shaped posture in plan view, and a chair C with casters is arranged in a space surrounded by each desk. The user can use each desk 1, 2, 3 arbitrarily by changing the posture and position.

  In the following description, for the sake of convenience, the top 4 of the first desk 1 is the first top 4, the top 5 of the second desk 2 is the second top 5, and the top 6 of the third desk 3 is This is called the third top plate 6. In addition, for the sake of convenience in this specification, the words “left, right, front, and rear” are used, but these words are based on a user who is in a posture (use state) facing the top board (therefore, accordingly). The left and right sides of the first machine 1 and the third machine 3 are reversed.)

  When a sleeve drawer (wagon) is provided in the desk system, it may be arranged below any one of the top plates 4, 5, 6 or outside the first desk 1 or the third desk 3.

  The first top plate 4 and the third top plate 6 are horizontally long and rectangular in plan view. On the other hand, the second top plate 5 has a shape close to a horizontally long rectangle, but the front end surface is gently curved in a forward projection in plan view. It has become. The right side end (one side end) of the second top plate 5 is in contact with the front surface of the first top plate 4, and the left side surface of the first top plate 4 and the back surface of the second top plate 5 are straight lines. It extends in a shape.

  In this embodiment, it is the structure which stuck the melamine resin layer on the surface of the wooden board with the 1st top plate 4 and the 2nd top plate 5, for example, it is achromatic | colorless and calm with high brightness, such as white and light gray Adopting different colors. On the other hand, the 3rd top plate 6 is a wooden board, and the grain is still appearing. Although the height of each top plate 4, 5, 6 can be adjusted to a plurality of levels (details will be described later), the first top plate 4 and the second top plate 4 are arranged in a state where the top plates 4, 5, 6 are positioned at the top level. The height is the same as the top plate 5, and the third top plate 6 is set to be lower than the first top plate 4 and the second top plate 5. For this reason, the 3rd top plate 6 can be pushed below the 2nd top plate 5 (and the 1st top plate 4).

  The left and right sides of each top plate 4, 5, 6 are supported by legs 7. Each leg 7 includes a plate-like columnar portion 8 in which a grain appears and a metal horizontal rod 10 fastened with a bolt 9 to the lower end surface thereof. As can be understood from FIG. 2, the horizontal rod 10 of the right leg 7 in the second desk 2 has a short length almost the same as the front-rear width dimension of the column portion 8, and the horizontal rod 10 in the other legs 7 is the column portion. It has a long length extending greatly from 8 to the front.

  The reason why the horizontal rod 10 extends long forward from the support column 8 is to ensure the stability of the desk, and on the other hand, the horizontal rod 10 of the right leg 7 in the second desk 2 is short because the user in the seated state (In particular, to avoid interference when moving or changing the posture of the first desk 1 and the second desk 2).

  In order to avoid the deterioration of the stability of the second desk 2 due to the shortening of the horizontal rod 10 of the right leg 7 of the second desk 2, the first top board 4 and the second top board 5 are provided on the lower surfaces of both. Although it connects with the connection tool 11 extended ranging, in this embodiment, the horizontal rod 10 of a leg is combined as the connection tool 11. FIG.

  The horizontal cage 10 of the third desk 3 is provided with a pair of front and rear casters 12. For this reason, the position and posture of the third desk 3 can be easily changed by the user pushing and pulling. With the casters 12 in contact with the floor, the horizontal bar 10 of the third desk 3 is set to be higher than the horizontal bar 10 of the second desk 2 (and the first desk 1). Therefore, the third desk 3 can partially enter the internal space of the second desk 2.

  The front-rear width dimension of each support column 8 is about half the front-rear width of the top plates 4, 5, 6, and the outward opening in which the support column 8 fits in the rear half of each top plate 4, 5, 6. Therefore, the outer surface of the support column 8 and the left and right end surfaces of the top plates 4, 5, 6 are on the same plane. The support column 8 and the back surfaces of the top plates 4, 5, 6 are on the same plane.

  Each of the desks 1, 2, and 3 includes rear panels 14, 15, and 16 fixed to the rear portions of the top plates 4, 5, and 6, respectively. The back panels 14 and 15 of the first desk 1 and the second desk 2 extend over substantially the entire width of the top plates 4 and 5, and also extend below the top plates 4 and 5.

  Since the right end surface of the second top plate 5 is in contact with the front end surface of the first table top plate 4, the top panel of the first table 1 is interposed between the back panels 14 and 15 of the first table 1 and the second table 2. The space of the space | interval of the width dimension of the board 4 is vacant. A side panel 17 that partitions all or most of the space is attached to the back panel 14 of the first desk 1.

  A shelf 18 and hangers 19 as optional items can be detachably suspended from the rear panels 13, 14 and 15. A notch 20 for pulling out a cable such as a power source is formed in the left and right intermediate portions of the back surface of each top plate 4, 5, 6, and a clamp-fixed lamp 21 is formed using this notch 20. It can be installed.

(2). Leg, top plate and back panel of second desk Next, with reference to FIG. 4 as well, the fixing structure of the top boards 4, 5 and the legs 7 in the first desk 1 and the second desk will be described. . FIG. 4 is an exploded perspective view showing the relationship between the first top plate 4 and the legs 7.

  As can be understood from FIG. 4, the support column 8 and the first top plate 4 are fixed through a block-like reinforcing material (bracket) 23 made of wood. The reinforcing member 23 has substantially the same length in the front-rear direction as the support column 8 of the leg 7, and is fixed to the lower surfaces of the left and right side portions of the first top plate 4 by the dowel pins 24 and screws 25 so as not to be separated. Is fastened to the column 8 by two front and rear screws 26 penetrating the column 7 of the leg 7 from the outside.

  In this case, a plurality of pairs of mounting holes 27 of screws 26 are formed in the support column 8 at appropriate intervals (six stages in the figure), while the reinforcing member 23 has a demon nut 28 into which the screws 26 are screwed. A pair with the pin hole 29 is provided so as to be vertically separated. The vertical distance between the demon nut 28 and the pin hole 29 ′ is the same as the distance between the mounting holes 26, and the positioning pins 29 are inserted into the pin holes 29 ′ and the mounting holes 26. The fixing structure of the second top plate 5 and the legs 7 is exactly the same as that of the first desk 1.

  The back panels 14 and 15 of the first desk 1 and the second desk 2 have a structure in which a skin material 31 made of cloth or the like is wound around a frame 30 formed in a square shape in front view with a square steel pipe. It is fastened to the back surface of the column 8 so that the height can be adjusted. Although not shown, the skin material 31 is held in a cylindrical shape by a fastener, and can be easily attached to and detached from the frame 30 by opening and closing the fastener.

  The skin material 31 of the back panel 14 in the first desk 1 adopts a cold chromatic color such as green or blue, for example. This is for realizing a visual environment suitable for left-right work. On the other hand, the skin material 31 of the back panel 15 in the second desk 2 employs an achromatic color such as white or light gray and a high brightness.

  The side panel 17 has a screen-like form in which a cloth partition curtain 34 is suspended on a horizontally long hanger (bar) 33, and is fastened to the frame 30 with screws at the base end of the hanger 33 via a bracket. The partition curtain 34 has the same color and the same material as the skin material 31 of the first back panel 14. Both the first top plate 4 and the second top plate 5 are white-colored (light amber) achromatic colors.

(3) Details of the third machine Next, the third machine 3 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 5 is an exploded perspective view of the members separated from each other, FIG. 6 is an exploded perspective view of the legs 7 with the top plate 6 and the back panel 16 fixed, and FIG. FIG. 8 is a rear view of the state where the rear panel 16 is changed upside down.

  The top plate 6 of the third desk 3 is substantially rectangular in plan view, and the fixing structure between the third top plate 6 and the legs 7 is basically the same as the fixing structure between the first top plate 4 and the second top plate 5 and the legs 7. Is the same. However, in the third desk 3, for example, a large load may be applied such as putting a weight on the work surface and pressing the member against the desk top surface, so that the reinforcing member 23 is near the front end of the top plate 6 in order to increase the fastening strength. In addition, the number of dowel pins 24, positioning pins 29, and fastening screws 26 is increased. A drawer 35 is provided on the lower surface of the third top plate 6.

  The rear panel 16 of the third desk 3 is made of one piece of wood board (including plywood) with exposed grain, and includes a curtain plate part 16 a located below the top board 6. The curtain plate portion 16 a has substantially the same left and right length as the top plate 6, and its left and right ends overlap the back of the left and right support portions 8 of the legs 7, and the lower portions of the left and right ends are first screws 36 and the support portions 8. It is fixed on the back.

  A plurality (six) of demon nuts 37 into which the first screws 36 are screwed are embedded in the back surface of the support column 8 in the leg 6 at appropriate intervals in the vertical direction. Therefore, the height of the rear panel 16 can be adjusted stepwise. The pitch of the mounting holes 27 for fixing the top plate 6 to the support column 8 and the pitch of the demon nuts 37 for fixing the back panel 16 are set to the same dimension.

  The desk top of the back panel 16 that rises above the top plate 6 is a cut-out portion (which may be referred to as an open portion) 38 having a substantially right half opened rearward. The upper surface of the curtain plate portion 16a and the upper surface of the top plate 6 are flush with each other at the slit 38. The curtain plate portion 16a of the back panel 16 is fixed to the back surfaces of the left and right reinforcing members 23 with the second screws 39 and the positioning pins 40 (only the second screws 39 may be used). A demon nut 41 into which the second screw 39 is screwed is embedded in the back surface of the reinforcing member 23.

  Next, the assembly procedure of the third machine 3 will be described. In the third desk 3, the left and right legs 7, the top plate 6, and the back panel 16 are separated and packed and shipped, and assembled at a place of use (for example, a home). In assembling, first, the top plate 6 and the back panel 16 are fixed. This fixing operation is performed by placing the top panel 6 in a vertical position and placing the rear panel 16 on the top surface and screwing it into the demon nut 41 of the reinforcing member 23 with the second screw 39.

  In this case, since the rear panel 16 has the slit 38, for example, the posture of the top panel 6 is maintained by standing the right half of the top panel 6 on the wall of the building. Since it is possible to perform the screwing operation by stacking 16, the fixing operation can be easily performed.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 3, the desk 3 is laid down (tilted down) so that the back panel 16 is in close contact with the floor, and in this state, the left and right legs 7 are fixed to the reinforcing member 23 with screws 26. In this state, the top plate 6 and the back panel 16 are held in a stable state, so that the fixing work of the legs 7 is easy.

  Next, the third desk 3 is brought into a normal posture by placing a hand on the front edge of the top plate 6. In this case, it can be easily raised with the rear end of the leg 7 as a fulcrum. Then, the back panel 16 is fixed to the back surface of the column 8 with screws. As described above, the posture of each member can be easily maintained and the desk can be raised, so that the assembly work can be easily performed by an adult alone.

  When changing the height of the top panel 6 and the back panel 16, first, the second screw 39 is removed, then the desk 3 is tilted back and laid down, and the position of the legs 7 is changed in that state, and then the desk 3 Then, the rear panel 16 may be fixed to the legs 7 with screws 26. As can be understood from this, since it is not necessary to hold the top plate 6 and the back panel 16 by hand when changing the height of the top plate 6 and the back panel 16, it is easy and safe. The height can be changed quickly.

  In addition to the hanger 19, a clip-type light, a white board, a pinup board, and small shelves can be attached to the back panel 16 of the third desk 3. As shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. 6, the slit 16 a of the back panel 16 can be positioned slightly above the top plate 6.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the back panel 16 can be fixed to the leg 7 upside down. In this case, the mounting hole 42 is made in the curtain plate portion 16a of the back panel 16, but the mounting hole 42 is located below the top plate 6 and cannot be visually recognized from the outside in a normal use state, so the aesthetics deteriorate. No problem. Although not shown, it is also possible to attach the rear panel 16 by changing the left-right posture (in other words, changing the front and back without changing the upper and lower sides). Thus, by changing the left and right postures, it is possible to easily cope with the case where the first desk 1 and the third desk 3 are exchanged.

  In the present embodiment, when the back panel 16 is turned upside down, the back panel 16 protrudes upwards from the top plate 6 by a small amount (for example, about 10 cm) in the lowest position. The height dimension may be set. In addition, the back panel 16 can be changed upside down with the front and back turned upside down. When the left and right postures are changed in this way, the user stretches his legs when sitting on a chair and working. It is possible to select the position of the slit 38 so as not to get in the way.

  The reinforcing material 23 may be made of a metal plate. It is also possible to fasten the top plate 6 and the legs 7 directly with screws without using the reinforcing member 23, or to fasten the back panel 16 directly to the back of the top plate 6 with screws. . Moreover, the support | pillar part 8 does not necessarily need to be formed in plate shape, for example, can also be set as the frame structure of a side view square shape.

  When the second top plate 5 and the third top plate 6 are partially overlapped in plan view as in the present embodiment, the second top plate 5 enters the lower side of the third top plate 6. Although it is possible to set the heights of the top plates 4, 5, 6, for example, when performing work with the third desk 3, the weight on the member placed on the desk by the screwing work or fitting work of the parts, etc. Therefore, it can be said that it is more convenient to lower the height of the third top plate 6.

(4). Other When the first to third desks are used as a desk system as a set as in the above-described embodiment, the positions of the first desk and the third desk are replaced, or the first desk and the second desk are replaced. Replace the position with the desk, or arrange the 2nd desk top board and the 3rd desk top board side by side, and also arrange each desk top board side by side in a single letter shape (arrangement order can be arbitrarily selected) ) And other layouts can be set freely. By changing the layout, the image of the desk system can be changed drastically, and the brain can be stimulated when using each desk, and the work efficiency can be improved.

  In particular, in the present embodiment, in combination with the fact that the rear panel 16 of the third desk 3 has the slit 38 and the first desk 1 includes the side panel 17, the desk system by changing the layout is used. Image change becomes more exciting.

  In addition, the top plate of each desk is not limited to wooden, but can be made of metal plate (made of steel), and the first and second rear panels are made of wood plate (including plywood) or metal plate. It is also possible.

  As an aspect of forming the slit portion on the back panel, a desk top is provided at the left and right intermediate portion of the back panel, and the slit portions are formed on both the left and right sides (that is, the back panel is formed in a convex shape in front view) In addition, it is possible to freely select according to design requirements, such as forming a large cut-out hole of an appropriate shape such as a circular shape with a square shape in front view in an appropriate portion of the back panel, or forming an upwardly open shape. .

  Each invention disclosed in this specification and the drawings can be independently claimed. Both the first desk and the second desk shown in the embodiment can have a structure in which the top plate and the rear back panel are fixed with screws.

It is a figure which shows 1st Embodiment, (A) is a schematic perspective view of the whole, (B) is a partial top view. It is the whole top view. It is the whole front view. It is an isolation | separation perspective view which shows the relationship between a top plate and a leg.
