Description

  The present invention relates to a table that can suitably carry out wiring of devices used on and around a top board.

Conventionally, various tables have been proposed in which wiring ducts or wiring hooks for storing the wiring of electrical devices used on or around the top plate are provided in the lower limb space below the top plate. As a typical example of such a table, a mode in which a wiring duct is separately attached to a curtain plate provided in a standing posture on the side opposite to the use edge on the lower surface side of the top plate (for example, see Patent Document 1), or Examples include a configuration in which a wiring duct is bridged between a pair of legs that support both end portions, and a wiring hook is separately attached to the wiring duct (see, for example, Patent Document 2).
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-155646 (FIG. 2 etc.) Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 5-43926 (FIG. 6 etc.)

  In a conventional table equipped with such a wiring duct or the like, if a hole for dropping the wiring that connects the lower limb space and the top surface of the top plate is formed on the opposite side of the top plate or the like, wiring from the top plate is possible. Wiring can be guided directly to the duct, but it is disadvantageous in that the wiring duct or the like must be separately attached to the curtain plate or leg. In addition, when the hole for dropping the wiring is not formed in the top plate, it is necessary to draw the wiring lowered from the top plate into the wiring duct through the side edge or counter-use edge of the top plate. In this case, the wiring is not held anywhere between the side edge of the top plate or the counter-use edge and the wiring duct. In this state, if the wiring is loosened and hung from the top plate, the appearance is not preferable, and a passerby or an object may be caught.

  Therefore, in view of the above problems, the present invention can arrange a wiring duct without using a leg or a curtain, and can guide the wiring appropriately without slack from the top plate to the wiring duct. Try to provide the table.

  That is, the table of the present invention comprises a top plate, legs that support the top plate, and a wiring duct that is attached to the lower surface of the top plate, and is arranged on the leg along the lower surface of the top plate. In addition, a top plate support portion for supporting the top plate from below and a support column portion standing on the floor continuously to the top plate support portion are provided, and the top plate support portion or the top plate support portion is attached to the top plate. One or both of the fixtures attached to the board are provided with a wiring guide portion for guiding wiring of devices used on or around the top board to the wiring duct.

  Therefore, by first attaching the wiring duct to the lower surface of the top plate, it is not necessary to use a curtain plate or a leg to arrange the wiring duct. In addition, since the wiring guide portion is formed in the top plate support portion which is a component supporting the top plate by the legs, or the fixture for the top plate of the top plate support portion, a hole for dropping the wiring in the top plate Even if it is not formed, the wiring lowered from the edge of the top plate can be guided to the wiring duct through the wiring guide portion. In other words, since the wiring is drawn along the lower surface of the top plate along the top plate support part of the leg body into the wiring duct, the wiring is prevented from being loosened and hanging from the edge of the top plate to the wiring duct. And improve safety and appearance. In the present invention, it is not necessary to specially form the hole for dropping the wiring as described above in the top plate, but it goes without saying that such a hole may be formed.

  In particular, in order to provide the wiring guide without requiring special processing on the leg itself, it is desirable to attach the wiring guide to the fixture. As a result, it is possible to suppress bulkiness of the legs and improve convenience of storage and transportation. In addition, as an auxiliary | assistant aspect of the wiring guide part to a fixture, the aspect which formed the wiring guide part integrally in the fixture, the aspect which adds a wiring guide part to a fixture externally, or it is used with a fixture. The aspect etc. which have formed the wiring guide part in the member can be mentioned.

  In the present invention, as the top plate, a general rectangular top plate having a rectangular shape in plan view in which the long side is used edge or counter-use edge and the short side is side edge can be adopted. In this case, a pair of legs are arranged on both side edges of the top plate, and a pair of front and rear support portions for supporting a corner portion constituted by the use edge and the counter-use edge and the side edge of the top plate on each leg. And providing a top plate support portion between the upper end portions of the pair of support column portions, and setting the outer end portion of the top plate support portion to the upper end portions of the pair of support column portions as a single unit. By setting the inner end portion to a position inward from the side edge in the central portion in the depth direction of the top plate, if the top plate support portion has a V-shape when viewed from the bottom, the top plate is supported by the legs. The strength can be sufficiently increased. Furthermore, if the wiring duct is formed in a linear shape extending in the width direction of the top plate and its both end portions are positioned in the vicinity of the inner end portions of the left and right top plate support portions, the wiring routed through the top plate support portions is connected to the wiring duct. In addition to being able to guide it suitably, it can contribute to the improvement of the rigidity of the top plate by providing the wiring duct.

  In such a table, as a suitable wiring duct useful for improving the rigidity of the top plate and good accommodation performance of the wiring, an upper wall attached in contact with the lower surface of the top plate and the upper wall are opposed to each other. And a standing wall that connects the upper wall and the lower wall, and has a substantially U-shape in side view and opens to both side ends and the use edge side of the top plate.

  In order to optimize the rigidity of the top plate, particularly the prevention of bending by providing such a wiring duct, the center of gravity of the upper wall of the wiring duct or the center of the wiring duct itself is set to the center in the width direction of the top plate. Set on the center line in the depth direction of the top plate on the front / rear center line passing back and forth at a position closer to the left / right center line than the middle point between the counter-use edge and the left / right center line. Is set at a position closer to the side edge of the top plate than the inner end of the top plate support portion of the leg, so that the width dimension of the wiring duct is made longer than the distance between the inner ends of the pair of legs.

  In particular, in the case of a table whose top plate is large, it is further provided with another wiring duct having the same configuration as the wiring duct, and the pair of wiring ducts are arranged symmetrically in the front-rear direction with the front-rear center line as the axis of symmetry. Good. In this case, the pair of long sides of the top plate may be applied to the conference table as a use edge, but it is easy to guide the wiring from either use edge to the wiring duct, improving the wiring efficiency. can do.

  According to the table of the present invention, since the wiring duct is provided on the lower surface of the top plate without depending on the leg body, the wiring duct can be provided without using the curtain plate or the leg body. . In addition, a wiring guide portion is provided on the top plate support portion formed on the leg or a fixture used for attaching the top plate support portion to the top plate, and the wiring lowered from the top plate through the wiring guide portion is provided. Because it is configured to lead to the wiring duct, even if the hole for dropping the wiring is not formed in the top plate, it is safe without loosening the wiring between the edge of the top plate and the wiring duct. Thus, it is possible to carry out suitable wiring while maintaining a good appearance. Moreover, the bending rigidity of a top plate can also be improved by attaching a wiring duct to a top plate.

Further, by setting the depth dimension of the lower wall 32 to be larger than that of the upper wall 31, the wiring EC can be suitably held on the upper side of the lower wall 32 while minimizing the number of places to be attached to the top plate. . Furthermore, the edge of the lower wall 32 is raised obliquely forward (use edge 1b side) so that the wiring EC does not slip downward.

  Here, the wiring position of the wiring duct 3 will be described in detail. As shown in FIG. 2, the wiring duct 3 is attached along the width direction of the top plate 1 at a position near the counter-use edge 1 a in the center in the width direction on the lower surface side of the top plate 1. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2, both side end portions 3 e are positioned in the vicinity of the inner end portions 23 e of the left and right top plate support portions 23. The center of gravity G of the upper wall 31 is passed through the center part m in the width direction of the top plate 1 and the center line m passing through the center part m in the depth direction of the top plate 1 and the counter-use edge 1a. Is set at a position closer to the left and right center line n than the intermediate point P, and both end portions 3e of the wiring duct 3 are closer to the top plate 1 than the inner end portion 23e of the top plate support portion 23 of the leg 2 The position is set closer to the edge 1c.

  As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the table T of this embodiment uses a table T ′ having the same configuration, and the two top plates 1 and 1 ′ are L-shaped in plan view. In this case, by changing the orientation of the legs 2 of one table T, the legs 2 can be attached across the top plates 1 and 1 '. As a configuration for that purpose, as shown in FIG. 7, not only the location corresponding to the position of the leg 2 shown on the lower surface of the top board 1 but also the location corresponding to the case where the orientation of the leg 2 is changed. It is assumed that nuts N and N ′ are provided. It should be noted that (') is added to the end of each code of the corresponding table T to each component constituting the table T'. In this way, when the table is arranged in an L shape, it is effectively avoided that the support column 21 is arranged in the L-shaped inner corner portion where the user is normally positioned, and the leg space is comfortable for the user. The L-shaped table which can comprise is comprised. Even in this case, it is assumed that the wiring EC of the equipment E can be effectively routed by effectively using the wiring duct 3 and the wiring guide portion L by attaching the attachment portion A to each leg 2, 2 '. (Fig. 6).

  As described above, in the table T according to the present embodiment, the wiring EC of the equipment E used on or around the top board 1 is attached to the fixture A for attaching the top board support 23 to the top board 1. 3 is provided.

  Therefore, since the wiring duct 3 is first attached to the lower surface of the top plate 1, it is not necessary to use a curtain plate or the like to arrange the wiring duct 3. In addition, since the wiring guide portion L is formed in the fixture A, the wiring EC lowered from the edge of the top plate 1 can be connected to the wiring guide portion even if the hole for dropping the wiring is not formed in the top plate 1. L can be passed to the wiring duct 3. That is, since the wiring EC is drawn into the wiring duct 3 along the bottom surface of the top plate 1 along the top plate support 23 of the leg 2, the wiring is loosened from the edge of the top plate 1 to the wiring duct 3. It is possible to prevent a hanging state and improve safety and appearance.

  In particular, by attaching the wiring guide portion L to the fixture A, the leg 2 itself is provided with the wiring guide portion L without requiring any special processing. As a result, bulkiness of the leg 2 can be suppressed, and convenience of storage and transportation can be improved.

  Further, the inner end portion 23e of the top plate support portion 23 is set at a position inward from the side edge in the central portion in the depth direction of the top plate, and the top plate support portion 23 has a V-shape when viewed from the bottom. Thus, the support strength of the top plate 1 by the legs 2 is sufficiently increased, and as a result, the strength of the table T itself is increased. Furthermore, since both side end portions 3e of the wiring duct 3 are positioned in the vicinity of the inner end portions 23e of the left and right top plate support portions 23, the wiring routed through the top plate support portions 23 can be suitably guided to the wiring duct 3. In addition, it is possible to contribute to the improvement of the rigidity of the top plate 1 by providing the wiring duct 3.

  In addition, the wiring duct 3 has a substantially U-shape in side view and opens to the side edges 3e and the use edge 1b side of the top plate 1, which is useful for improving the rigidity of the top plate 1 and good accommodation performance of the wiring EC. It is said. Further, the center of gravity G of the upper wall 31 is set at a position closer to the left / right center line n than the midpoint P between the left / right center line n and the counter-use edge 1a, and the width dimension of the wiring duct 3 is set to a pair of legs 2. By making it longer than the inner end-to-end distance, it is possible to sufficiently obtain the rigidity of the top plate 1, in particular, the effect of preventing deflection.

  Further, as a modified example of the present embodiment, when the top plate 1 ″ having a large dimension of the above-described top plate 1 is used, in order to further improve the effect of preventing the bending, as shown in FIG. It is also possible to further include another wiring duct 3 having the same configuration as that of the duct 3, and to arrange the pair of wiring ducts 3 and 3 symmetrically about the front and rear center line m of the top plate as a symmetry axis. Even in this case, both end portions 3e are positioned in the vicinity of the inner end portions 23e of the left and right top plate support portions 23. Then, the center of gravity G of the upper wall 31 passes back and forth through the center portion in the width direction of the top plate. On the front and rear center line m, set to a position closer to the left and right center line n than an intermediate point P between the left and right center line n passing through the center in the depth direction of the top plate and the counter-use edge 1a. The width dimension is longer than the distance between the inner ends of the pair of legs 2 In such a case, a pair of long sides of the top board 1 ″ may be applied to a conference table or the like as a use edge, but wiring is routed from either use edge to the wiring duct 3. Therefore, it is possible to improve the routing efficiency of the wiring EC.

  In addition, the specific configuration of each part is not limited to the above embodiment. In the above-described embodiment, the leg body 2 is configured by the L-shaped leg member and the V-shaped connecting member. For example, the leg body 2 is configured integrally by a single metal pipe, or the column portion and the top plate support portion. Appropriate configurations can be employed, such as configuring and connecting separate members. Furthermore, the wiring guide portion is not limited to the aspect attached to the metal cover, and may be attached to the corner cover or the plate shown in the above embodiment, for example. In addition, various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
