Description

  The present invention is directed to a table such as a table or a desk that supports a top board with legs, and is a connection structure that connects the top board and legs in the table, and is particularly a knock-down type and includes a plurality of tables. It is effective when applied to a connection type table that connects and uses the top plate.

  In this type of table, for example, the connection structure of the top plate and the leg as disclosed in Patent Documents 1 to 4 is used. However, in the case of Patent Documents 1 and 2, the bottom surface of the top plate is used. A structure in which the top plate and the leg portion are connected by a connecting member via a beam which is a horizontal beam member mounted as a reinforcing member is adopted. In Patent Documents 3 and 4, the top plate and the leg portion are connected to each other. The structure which connects directly with a connection member is taken.

  This type of table is often shipped from the factory in a state of being disassembled into components such as a top plate and legs, and takes the form of a knockdown type assembled at the site of use. In the case of this knockdown type, It is desirable to reduce the projecting portion so that the package does not become bulky, and to minimize the work of temporarily fixing it for transfer, removing it once during assembly, and fixing it again.

  In addition, since the assembly work at the site is not always performed by an expert, it is desirable to adopt a connection structure that enables easy and reliable assembly work even if not an expert, especially in tables. There is also a connection type table that uses a plurality of top plates connected together. In this case, it is necessary to connect the top plate and the legs with many connecting members. A reliable connection structure is further desired.

  However, in the case of the connection structure according to the prior art including Patent Documents 1 to 4 and the like, it has not always been sufficient to satisfy the above-mentioned demands, so the present inventor has to solve these problems. As a result of repeated studies, we were able to find a connection structure between the top plate and the leg part based on a new concept that can satisfy the above-mentioned requirements. suggest.

  The present invention relates to a table or the like for connecting a top plate and a leg part via a connecting structure part provided between a cross beam member attached to the lower surface side of the top board and a leg frame attached to the upper end side of the leg part. A top plate and leg connecting structure, wherein one side is inserted into the side opening of the cross beam member in the connecting structure part, and the leg frame side connecting member for locking the other side to the leg frame, and the cross beam member A connecting member on the side beam member side that is inserted from an upper surface opening provided on the upper surface plate of the upper side plate and that locks one side of the connecting member on the leg frame side, and the side beam member is inserted into the through hole that penetrates each connecting member. Attach the mounting bolt from the top opening and screw it into the mounting screw hole provided in the leg frame, and connect it to the through hole that penetrates one side of the connecting member on the leg frame side and the connecting member on the side beam member side. Install the mounting bolts on the top plate from the bottom plate side of the cross beam member Connecting by screwing the mounting screw holes. (Claim 1)

  2. The table top and leg connecting structure in the tables of claim 1, wherein the connecting member on the leg frame side is formed with a box-shaped fitting part on one side and an inverted L-shaped locking holding part on the other side. In addition, the fitting portion and the locking holding portion are integrally connected via an intermediate connecting portion, and the connecting member on the side beam member side is a box shape that fits on the fitting portion of the connecting member on the leg frame side The fitting portion is provided with a locking hole and a locking projection that are fitted and locked to each other, and a bolt insertion hole for a mounting bolt to the top plate. The outer wall surface is formed with an inclined surface, and a bolt insertion hole for the leg frame is provided so as to be inclined downward from the intermediate connecting portion to the locking holding portion, and between the locking holding portion and the upper surface of the leg frame. Can take the form which provided the latching hole and latching protrusion which carry out a fitting lock mutually. (Claim 2)

  According to the top plate and leg connecting structure in the tables of claim 1, when knocking down, the top plate, the cross beam member and the leg unit (leg unit) are removed with each connecting member constituting the connecting structure part removed. The main components of the frame and legs are disassembled and transferred, but since these main components do not have irregularities that impede packing, they can be transported easily without being bulky. Sometimes it is not necessary to temporarily fix the connecting members and reattach them on site.

  In addition, when assembling work on site, by attaching the connecting member on the leg frame side and the connecting member on the side beam member side, the leg unit (leg frame and leg) is locked to each side beam member and temporarily fixed. Since it can be in a state, it can be easily and surely integrated by a simple operation of holding each main component member in a stable state and screwing the mounting bolt.

  According to the connection structure of the top plate and the leg in the tables of claim 2, the mounting bolt is attached to the bolt insertion hole of each connecting member from the upper surface opening side of the horizontal beam member, and the leg unit (leg Frame and legs) can be easily connected, and the mounting bolts are mounted in a downwardly inclined manner, so that a strong connection can be made to vertical and horizontal loads applied to the top plate. .

  In addition, in the connection structure of the top plate and the leg in the tables of claim 1 or 2, the leg frame and the leg are integrally connected in advance to form a leg unit, or the leg frame and the leg or The leg unit takes a form of being mounted on both sides of a table surface formed by a single top plate, or is mounted on both sides of a table surface formed of a plurality of top plates and is mounted between each top plate. be able to.

  As a result, when the leg frame and the leg unit are integrally connected to each other in advance, the number of packages can be reduced and the assembly work on the site can be omitted, and the connection structure has one top plate. It can be applied to both normal tables and connected tables that connect multiple top plates, especially when connecting to the legs at multiple locations, such as connected tables In addition, the effect that the assembly in claim 1 is assured and easy can be further exhibited, and the cost can be reduced by sharing the connecting member in each connecting structure portion.
