Description

  The present invention is preferably used in an office or the like, and relates to furniture including one or more planar large parts.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as one piece of furniture for use in an office or the like, there has been considered a desk that has a wiring duct space below the top plate and that can be opened and closed with a wiring cover. Further, it has been considered that this wiring cover can detachably hold a small part constituting a part of the desk when the desk is removed from the regular mounting position of the desk. (For example, see Patent Document 1.)
Japanese Patent No. 2720694

  Thus, such furniture such as desks is disassembled and stored in a predetermined storage location such as a warehouse in order to save storage space when offices are reduced or rearranged. However, the above-described wiring cover is also a relatively small component that can be carried by an adult with a standard physique with one hand. In addition, such a small component may be dissipated during disassembly and storage or reassembly.

  The present embodiment is configured to solve such a problem.

  That is, the furniture according to the present invention includes one or a plurality of large planar components, and a small component other than the large component is directly or indirectly engaged with one surface of the large component. It is characterized by being able to be detachably held via the.

  If this is the case, when disassembling and storing the furniture, all the small parts are held directly or indirectly on one side of the large parts, so that the small parts held by the large parts can be listed. become. Therefore, it becomes easy to understand the location of the small parts, and it is possible to prevent the occurrence of the problem that the parts are dissipated.

  As a configuration capable of realizing such an effect by a minimum design change, while providing a reinforcing material extending in the width direction of the large component on the surface opposite to the side exposed to the outside when the large component is used, The reinforcing member may be provided with an engaging portion provided on a small component and an engaged portion capable of engaging with the concave and convex portions. In many cases, a planar large component is provided with a reinforcing material extending in the width direction of the component, and the small component is held by the large component only by providing the engaged portion on the reinforcing material. Because it can be.

  As an aspect particularly effective when one large component holds many small components, one of the small components is engaged with another small component while the small component is held by the large component. The thing which provided the holding | maintenance part which regulates the separation from the large sized parts of these small parts is mentioned. If this is the case, the holding part is provided in a small part having a relatively large protrusion width in a state of being held by a large part, and the holding part is engaged with a small part having a smaller protrusion width. This is because particularly small small parts can be prevented from falling off.

  As a particularly effective mode in the case of stacking and storing large parts holding small parts, the protruding surfaces of a plurality of small parts are located on the same plane with all the small parts held by the large parts. What is doing so. If it is such, when mounting other large components on the large component in the state where the small components are held, the mounting surface of the other large components can be made horizontal.

  As an example of the concrete aspect of such furniture, what has at least a top plate is mentioned as a planar large-sized component. This is because in the case of furniture with a top plate used in offices or the like, it is often necessary to temporarily stop and store the use of the furniture with a top plate when the number of employees is reduced or personnel are relocated.

  In particular, if the sheet-like large component further has a curtain plate provided below the counter-use end of the top plate, an optional member such as a wiring holder for holding the wiring on the curtain plate can be attached. .

  Further, if one of the small parts is a wiring cover provided on the curtain plate and capable of arranging wiring therein, and other wiring parts can be held on the wiring cover, the wiring is usually used. When the furniture is stored while the wiring is inserted into the cover to clean the space below the top plate, the space inside the wiring cover can be effectively used by holding other small parts inside the wiring cover.

  Further, if one of the small parts is a lid that covers the wiring insertion space that communicates the upper and lower sides of the top plate from above, such a wiring cover is likely to be dissipated in many cases having a relatively small size. Therefore, dissipation can be particularly effectively prevented by holding the large component.

  In the present invention, the “projection surface of a small component” is a concept including the entire surface including a portion where the small component is farthest from one surface of the large component to be attached.

  The furniture according to the present invention is configured so that a small part, which is a part other than a large part, can be directly or indirectly detachably held on one surface of one or a plurality of planar large parts via an engaging portion. Therefore, when disassembling and storing the furniture, all the small parts are held on one surface of the large parts, so that the small parts held by the large parts can be listed. Therefore, it becomes easy to understand the location of the small parts, and it is possible to prevent the occurrence of the problem that the parts are dissipated.
