Description

  The present invention relates to a desk system in which a partition and a desk are integrally configured.

  In an office or the like, an indoor layout may be simply set by arranging partitions. And by fixing a top plate to this partition integrally, there is a case where space is saved by omitting a separate desk.

  For example, in the invention described in Patent Document 1, a desk partition D in which a desk is formed along the partition 101 by fixing the top plate 102 to the partition 101 via a bracket 104 as shown in FIG. 'Is disclosed.

The desk-equipped partition D ′ is fixed so that the top plate 102 protrudes from one surface of the partition panel 101 by supporting each top plate 102 at both ends by brackets 104 fixed to the partition panel 101. . Note that reference numeral 103 in FIG. 4 denotes a leg member 103 provided for the purpose of preventing the partition 101 (desk) from toppling over.
JP 2001-128753 A

  However, the conventional desk-equipped partition D ′ has a problem that the degree of freedom in layout is limited because the top plate 102 is configured to be fixed along the partition 101.

  The present invention solves the above-described problems, and an object of the present invention is to propose a desk system with excellent usability that can be freely laid out and can effectively use the floor area.

  In order to solve the above-described problems, the present invention provides a standardized partition that is erected on the floor, a concave top plate that is detachably fixed to the partition, and a ceiling that is erected on the floor. And at least one leg member for supporting a board, wherein the partition includes at least a main panel and a sub-panel joined to the main panel in a direction perpendicular to the main panel, Arranged in pairs in the space formed by the main panel and the sub panel, and at least one of the sides of the top plate is fixed at a predetermined position of the main panel or the sub panel By doing so, it is characterized in that a changeable seating space is formed.

Such a desk system is preferable because the position and orientation of the detachable top plate can be freely changed with respect to the partition standing on the floor, so that the degree of freedom in layout design is increased. That is, without changing the arrangement of the partitions, it is possible to change the size, orientation, openness, etc. of the seating space as well as the desk layout by simply moving the top plate. Therefore, it becomes possible to easily cope with the usage and the user's request. In addition, when a plurality of desks are arranged, the legs of each desk may become an obstacle when the desk is used, etc., but according to this desk system, it is supported by a minimum (at least one) leg. Therefore, the leg material does not get in the way. In addition, since the top plate is supported by at least one leg member, the partition and the top plate having the leg member support each other and are prevented from falling over.
Here, the seating space refers to a space defined by the arrangement of the top plate and the partition. In addition, the concave shape is a shape in which a portion that forms a desired seating space is cut out, and a rectangular shape is provided with depressions at the corners and sides of a general top plate to make it easier for the user to use the side (sleeves). Shape (for example, L-shape in plan view, U-shape, etc.).

  About the desk system, the top plate may be arranged symmetrically about a line. According to this configuration, the seating space formed by the partition and the two top plates is formed in one of three types of a closed type, a middle type, and an open type. The top plate is arranged in the direction selected from these three types of seating spaces.

Here, the closed type seating space refers to a seating space close to the feeling of a private room where two users sit back to back and the entrance to the seating space is narrowed. According to this sitting space, it is difficult to interfere from the outside, and it is easy to concentrate on one's work.
The open-type seating space is a seating space in which a plurality of users can sit side by side in the same direction and share work space with each other so that they can collaborate while consulting. This open seating space is also convenient when one person wants to use a large desk.
Further, the middle seat type seating space is an intermediate type seating space between a closed type and an open type where two users can sit back to back, but can easily go in and out.

  In the desk system, the seating space may be shared by a plurality of users. According to this configuration, it is possible to effectively use the limited floor area of the office, which is preferable.

Further, in the desk system, the top plate has an L shape in which a planar shape is cut out of a part of a rectangle, and at least the long side of the top plate not cut out is the main panel or It may be fixed to any one of the sub-panels.
Furthermore, in this desk system, the long side of the top plate may be fixed to the main panel, and one short side perpendicular to the long side may be fixed to the sub panel.

  According to such a desk system, since the top plate is cut out and has a substantially L shape, a large desk area can be secured and space can be saved. In other words, even when a plurality of top plates are arranged so that the long sides of the top plates are parallel, a space for arranging chairs (users) is secured in the cutout portions, and the distance between the top plates is reduced. It becomes possible to narrow. Moreover, since the long side is fixed to the partition, the balance is good, and the convenience of the desk is further improved by reducing the number of legs as much as possible.

In the desk system, the leg member may be positioned in the vicinity of a tip portion of the top plate located on the opposite side to the main panel.
According to this configuration, since the desk system has only one leg, the leg does not get in the way when the desk system is used.

  According to the desk system of the present invention, a free layout capable of responding to changes in organization and group organization becomes possible by appropriately combining unitized partitions and a top board. In addition, a seating space that the user can occupy is defined, and the back of the seat and the passage can be used as a shared space, so that a limited room can be used widely.
