Description

  The present invention relates to a drawer and a multiple desk system including the drawer.

  As is well known, the drawer includes a front plate, left and right side plates, and a rear plate, but the housed article may become messy inside. In particular, small objects (such as clips and erasers) are likely to scatter inside the drawer.

In this regard, the front part of the storage part is divided into left and right horizontally long walls to form an accessory storage part. On the other hand, in Patent Document 1, the front plate is formed in an upwardly opened shape, and a pocket portion that can mainly use small items is formed on the front plate. In other words, a pocket portion is formed on the front side of the main housing portion. It is described.
JP 2003-164345 A

  Although it is convenient for organizing small items by partitioning the main accommodating portion forward and backward in the drawer, small items may still be scattered because the front accommodating portion in front of the partition wall is long from side to side. On the other hand, although it is possible to arrange small items in Patent Document 1, there is a problem that it is difficult to apply to a normal desk such as an office desk because it is very special in design.

  An object of the present invention is to solve this problem.

  By the way, when the desks are arranged side by side to form a multiple desk system, if the top plate placed on the left and right is supported by one leg (that is, the legs of the left and right desk units are shared), the desk system as a whole The material can be saved, which is preferable. And in a multiple desk system, there is a case where it is desired to arrange the front end of the drawer provided on the lower surface of the top plate in a straight line, but the drawers are conventionally arranged on both sides with the legs sandwiched between them. That is, since the front surface of the leg is exposed, the line on the front surface of the drawer group is interrupted by the leg and it is difficult to exert an aesthetic effect.

  This invention also makes it a subject to eliminate this problem.

  The present invention includes a drawer and a multiple desk system. And the pocket part of the upward opening which can accommodate an accessory is provided in any one or both of the right-and-left outer sides of the main accommodating part partitioned off by the front board and the left and right side plates.

  On the other hand, the invention of the multiple desk system has the structure of claim 2. That is, a plurality of desk units with drawers mounted on the bottom surface of the top plate are arranged so that the side surfaces of the top plates adjacent to the left and right face each other, and the two top plates adjacent to the left and right In the desk system that supports the end portion with one common leg, the drawer is at least a portion close to the leg and at the front portion of the left and right outer sides of the main housing section partitioned by the front plate and the left and right side plates. A pocket portion is provided so as to project sideways, and the pocket portion is positioned in front of the leg.

  If comprised like Claim 1, since an accessory can be accommodated in the pocket part which becomes the outer side of a main accommodating part, an accessory can be arranged. In particular, when the pocket portion is provided only at the front portion as in the embodiment, the small objects are not scattered in the pocket portion, so that the organizing function is further improved. Further, since the pocket portions are provided on the left and right outer sides of the main housing portion, there is no sense of discomfort in design as in Patent Document 1, and it can be applied to ordinary desks and tables such as office desks without any trouble.

  According to the second aspect of the present invention, in the construction of a multiple desk system in which the left and right top plates are supported by one leg, the front of the leg can be hidden by the drawer pocket portion. The front surface can be aligned in a straight line and the aesthetics can be improved.

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

(1). First embodiment (FIGS. 1 to 4)
1 to 4 show the first embodiment. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a multiple desk system, in which a desk unit 1 having a single top plate 2 is arranged side by side to form a multiple desk system, and the front and rear multiple desk systems Are arranged back to back.

  The top plates 2 adjacent to the left and right are supported by one leg 3 or sleeve cabinet 4, and the end of the top plate 2 is a single leg 3 or sleeve in the part constituting the left and right ends of the multiple desk system. It is supported by the cabinet 4. The leg 3 is a so-called L leg in which an arm extends forward from the upper end and the lower end of a hollow plate-like base, and thus has a shape elongated in the front-rear direction in plan view. The upper arm is indicated by reference numeral 3a.

  The top plate 2 is connected to the leg 3 or the sleeve cabinet 4, and the leg 3 or the sleeve cabinet 4 is connected to the back member 5 constituting the desk unit 1. The back member 5 is shared by the front and rear desk units 1. Reference numeral 6 denotes a desktop panel. A drawer 7 is disposed on the lower surface of the top plate 2. The drawer 7 will be described below with reference to FIG.

  2A is a plan view showing the top plate 2 in phantom lines, FIG. 2B is a sectional view taken along the line BB of FIG. 3A, FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the drawer 7, and FIG. It is an isolation | separation perspective view which shows the principal part.

  As shown in FIG. 2A, the top plates 2 adjacent to the left and right are supported by the left half and the right half of the legs 3. Although not shown, the top plate 2 is connected (fixed) to the legs 3 using metal fittings. A drawer 7 is arranged on the lower surface portion of the top plate 2 through the left and right rails 8 so as to be close to the legs 3. In FIG. 2A, the drawer 7 is displayed only on the lower surface of the right top plate 2, but it is possible to place the drawer 7 on the lower surface of the left top plate 2 in the state of being close to the legs 3. is there.

  The top plate 2 of the present embodiment is made of steel (of course, may be made of wood or the like), and has a structure in which the surface plate 8 is supported by a plurality of longitudinal groove-type reinforcing frames 10 as shown in FIG. There is a pair of left and right rails 8 attached to the reinforcing frame 10, and a drawer 7 is mounted on the rails 8 so as to be movable back and forth.

  For example, as can be easily understood from FIG. 3, the drawer 7 includes a resin front plate (also referred to as a front edge) 12, left and right side plates 13, a front plate 12 and a bottom plate 14 fixed to the side plate 13. The rear plate 15 is bent at the rear end of the bottom plate 14.

  The side plate 13 is formed so that a square portion 13a located at the upper end and a lower guide piece 13b located at the lower end are projected outward, and the square portion 13a is formed as a rail as shown in FIG. 8 is supported. A slider 16 is provided at the front portion of the rail 8 and the rear portion of the side plate 13. In the present embodiment, the side plate 13 and the bottom plate 14 are configured separately, but the side plate 13 may be formed by bending the bottom plate 14.

  A portion enclosed by the front plate 12, the left and right side plates 13, and the rear plate 15 is a main housing portion 17, but as can be understood from FIGS. 3 and 4, a left and right long partition wall is formed at the front portion of the bottom plate 14. By projecting 18 upward, the front side portion of the main housing portion 17 forms a narrow front housing portion 17a. The bottom plate 14 is raised at the front storage portion 17a, and an upward front plate 14a is bent at the front end, and a forward piece 14b is bent at the upper end of the front plate 14a.

  As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the front plate 12 is provided at the base 12a where the front end of the side plate 13 and the front plate of the bottom plate 14 abut each other, the forward projecting portion 12b provided at the lower portion thereof, and the lower portion of the base portion 12a. And a rearwardly projecting portion 12c. For this reason, the front surface of the front plate 12 is uneven. This is mainly based on design requirements, and the front surface can be formed flat.

  The front end portion of the bottom plate 14 overlaps the rearward projecting portion 12 c of the front plate 12. For this reason, the user of the desk can put his finger on the rear surface of the rearward projecting portion 12c of the front plate 12. That is, by forming the front portion of the main housing portion 17 with the front housing portion 17a having a high step, the rearwardly projecting portion 12c of the front plate 12 can be formed as a pulling portion. There is no need to provide a separate handle piece.

  The base 12a of the front plate 12 is formed with a rectangular recess 19 into which the front end portion of the side plate 13 is fitted and a laterally long groove 20 into which the forward piece 14b of the bottom plate 14 is fitted. For this reason, the front plate 12, the side plate 13, and the bottom plate 14 are firmly fixed in a state without backlash. The front plate 12 and the bottom plate 14 are fixed with screws or the like.

  The front plate 12 projects outward from the left and right sides of the side plate 13, and a pocket portion 22 projecting from the left and right outer sides of the front storage portion 17 a in the main storage portion 17 is formed by attaching a cap 21 to the extended portion.

  The cap 21 includes a main body 21a that opens upward and forward, and an end plate 21b that overlaps the left and right end surfaces of the front plate 12, and a plurality of (two) pins 23 project from the end plate 21b. The pin 23 is forcibly fitted into the hole 24 formed in the end face of the front plate 12. The cap 21 is formed with an escape portion 21c for avoiding interference with the side plate 13. Therefore, the space of the pocket portion 22 has a slight depth at the location of the escape portion 21c.

  In the present embodiment, the cap 21 and the front plate 12 jointly form the pocket portion 22, but an independent pocket body is formed and fixed to the front plate 12 or the side plate 13, It is also possible to integrally form the pocket portion 22 at the left and right end portions of the plate 12. In any case, since a small object such as a clip, a coin, or an eraser can be put in the pocket portion 22, it is useful for organizing small objects.

  As shown in FIG. 2A, the left and right top plates 2 are supported by one leg 3, but the drawer 22 pockets 22 provided on the left and right top plates 2 are close to each other. The upper arm of the leg 3 is hidden behind the pocket portion 7 adjacent to the left and right. For this reason, in a multiple desk, it is possible to obtain a clean appearance by aligning the front lines of the drawer group in a straight line.

  Note that the upper front surface of the uppermost drawer 4a in the sleeve cabinet 4 is also formed in the same level as the front plate 12 of the top drawer 7 in a side view, so that the top drawer 7 and the sleeve cabinet 4 The lines on the front surface of the upper drawer 4a are also aligned and excellent in aesthetics.

  When the left or right end of the multiple desk system and the desk unit 1 are used alone, the top plate 2 overlaps the entire upper surface of the leg 3, but in this case, the front surface of the upper frame 3a in the leg 3 The whole is hidden by the pocket portion 22 of the drawer 7. Accordingly, the lateral width of the pocket portion 22 is set to be slightly larger than the lateral width of the upper arm 3a occurring on the leg 3.

  By the way, as shown in FIG. 2C, the front surface of the drawer 7 and the front surface of the upper arm 3a in the leg 3 can be roughly aligned. In this case, the distance between the drawer 7 and the upper arm 3a of the leg 3 is preferably as close as possible from the viewpoint of aesthetics.

  And since the mounting position of the rail 8 is constant, when only one top plate 2 is supported by one leg 3, a drawer that does not have the pocket portion 22 is used, and two legs are used by one leg. When the top plate 2 is supported, by using the drawer 7 provided with the pocket portion 22, it is possible to maintain a state in which the gap between the drawer 7 and the leg 3 is extremely small and to ensure aesthetics.

  If the pocket portion 22 is provided by attaching the cap 21 to the front plate 12 as in this embodiment, the drawer 7 having the pocket portion 22 and the drawer 7 not having the pocket portion 22 can be used as the side plate 13 and the bottom plate 14. There is an advantage (you only need to replace the front plate). When the drawer 7 provided with the pocket portion 22 and the drawer 7 provided with the pocket portion 22 are used in combination, the front plate 12 has a length that does not protrude from the left and right side plates, and the pocket portion 22 is attached to this so that the drawer itself is It is also possible to use both with and without.

(2). Other Embodiments FIG. 5 shows a second embodiment. In this embodiment, the pocket portion 22 is made of a metal plate (made of steel) or resin, and extends long in the front-rear direction along the left and right side plates 13 (therefore, in this embodiment, the leg 3 and the drawer 7 are (The relationship is as shown in FIG. 2C.)
The pocket portion 22 is also used as a support portion by the rail 8. Forming the pocket portion 22 in an elongated shape in this way has an advantage of organizing long objects such as ballpoint pens and rulers. As shown by a one-point difference in FIG. 5B, it is also possible to cover the pocket portion 22 with a lid (cover) 25 (this is the same in the first embodiment).

(3). Others The present invention can be embodied in various ways other than the above embodiment. For example, the application target is not limited to the drawer 7 of the desk or table, but can also be applied to the drawer of the cavit or the wagon. The material for the drawer is not limited and may be made of wood or resin.

It is a perspective view of a multiple desk system. (A) is a plan view showing the top board with phantom lines, (B) is a sectional view taken along line B-B of (A), and (C) is a partial plan view showing another arrangement form of the drawer. It is a perspective view of drawer | drawer. It is a separation perspective view showing the principal part of a drawer. It is a figure which shows 2nd Embodiment.
