Description

  The present invention relates to an improvement of a work table provided with an auxiliary table.

If the work desk is equipped with an auxiliary table, an auxiliary work can be performed using the auxiliary table, which is convenient. Various types of auxiliary tables have been proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 5-41442 (FIG. 1)

Patent document 1 is demonstrated based on the following figure.
FIG. 7 is a diagram for explaining the basic principle of the conventional technique. As shown in FIG. The table 104 is pulled out to perform auxiliary work.

  By the way, as shown in (b), when the worker 105 takes a sitting posture using the wheelchair 106, the waist position is lowered and only the upper body can be moved, so that the worker bends forward.

That is, for a worker in a sitting position, the conventional auxiliary table 104 is not easy to use and cannot be said to have good workability.
For a worker in a sitting position, such as a wheelchair user, an easy-to-use work desk is required.

  An object of the present invention is to provide an easy-to-use work desk for a worker in a sitting posture.

The invention according to claim 1 is a work desk on which parts for performing work can be placed,
This work desk has a horizontal tabletop on which the parts can be placed and a main table having legs for supporting the tabletop, hooks attached to the side surfaces of the tabletop, and latches to be hooked on the hooks. And an auxiliary table having an inclined surface on which the component can be placed, and a stopper piece for preventing the component from falling on the lower side of the inclined surface.

  The invention according to claim 2 is characterized in that the hook is provided on the top plate so as to be able to appear and retract.

  In the invention which concerns on Claim 1, the auxiliary table with which a main table is equipped is provided with the inclined surface. Since the surface on which the work is performed is inclined, a worker in a sitting posture can reach the work surface without leaning forward and can significantly increase the accuracy of the sitting work. If the surface is inclined, there is a risk that the component will slide down. However, in the present invention, since the stopper piece is provided on the lower side of the inclined surface, the component can be prevented from falling.

  In the invention which concerns on Claim 2, a hook can be protruded and retracted with respect to a top plate. When the auxiliary table is not used, the hook is stored in the top plate. There is no worry that the hooks will get in the way, the usability of the work desk is increased, and the appearance of the work desk can be improved.

The best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The drawings are viewed in the direction of the reference numerals.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a work desk according to the present invention, and the work desk 10 includes a main table 11 and an auxiliary table 20 that can be attached to and detached from the main table 11.

  The main table 11 includes a horizontal top plate 13 on which components can be placed, a plurality of (four in the embodiment) legs 14 that support the top plate 13, and hooks 15 attached to the side surfaces of the top plate 13. It is equipped with. The hook 15 includes, for example, a plurality of (three in the embodiment) columnar portions 16 that extend horizontally from the top plate 13 and a strip plate portion 17 that extends horizontally to the tip of the columnar portion 16.

The auxiliary table 20 includes a back plate portion 21, triangular side plate portions 22, 22 extending from both ends of the back plate portion 21, an inclined plate 23 passed to the side plate portions 22, 22, and the inclined plate 23. It consists of a stopper piece 24 erected on the lower side.
The back plate portion 21 is provided with a pocket-shaped latching portion 25. The latching portion 25 is shaped to fit into the hook 15.

  2 is a cross-sectional view taken along line 2-2 of FIG. 1, and the auxiliary table 20 includes a latching portion 25 on the back plate portion 21, and the latching portion 25 corresponds to the length of the columnar portion 16. It comprises a thickness insertion portion 26 and a storage pocket portion 27 for storing the upper portion of the band plate portion 17.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram in which an auxiliary table is mounted on the main table, and the auxiliary table 20 can be attached to and detached from the top plate 13 by fitting the storage pocket portion 27 of the latching portion 25 to the band plate portion 17 of the hook 15. It is attached. It is desirable that the upper surface 28 of the back plate portion 21 is flush with the upper surface 18 of the top plate 13. If it is flush, the plane area of the top plate 13 is increased.

The operation of the work desk having the above configuration will be described next.
FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining the operation of the work desk, and shows a form in which a worker 31 sitting on a wheelchair 30 is working with parts mounted on the auxiliary table 20 inclined by θ1 from the horizontal. 32 is a line of the upper body when bent forward deeply. Reference numeral 33 denotes a line of the upper body when lightly bent forward.
The upper body line 32 appears when the tilt angle θ1 is close to zero. The upper body line 33 appears when the inclination angle θ1 is about 30 °.

That is, by tilting the auxiliary table 20 from the horizontal by θ1, the working posture can be changed from the upper body line 32 to the upper body line 33.
In the case of the upper body line 33, the degree of forward bending is slight and an improvement in workability is expected.
Since the surface on which the work is performed is inclined, a worker in a sitting posture can reach the work surface without strongly bending forward and can significantly improve the accuracy of the sitting work. If the surface is inclined, there is a risk that the component will slide down. However, in the present invention, since the stopper piece is provided on the lower side of the inclined surface, the component can be prevented from falling.

The hook 15 described in FIG. 2 is fixed to the top plate 13, but the hook 15 can be attached to the top plate 13 so as to be able to appear and retract. An example of this will be described next.
FIG. 5 is a diagram of another embodiment of FIG. 2, and the same members as those in FIG.

  That is, the top plate 13 is provided with a concave groove 35 in which the band plate portion 17 is accommodated and a hole 37 in which the neck portion 36 is movably accommodated. The neck portion 36 is a member that is sufficiently longer than the cylindrical portion 16 (FIG. 2). A spring member 38 is attached to the sufficiently long neck portion 36. A spring seat 39 is fixed to the rear end (left end in the figure) of the neck portion 36 with a bolt 41. The spring seat 39 may be fixed to the neck portion 36 by screwing. Reference numeral 42 denotes a recess into which a finger can be inserted.

  The spring member 38 is preferably a compression coil spring, but may be a tension coil spring or a torsion spring (torsion spring).

FIG. 6 is an operation diagram of another embodiment. First, a finger is inserted into the recess 42 of the main table 11, and the band plate portion 17 is pulled out to the right in the drawing. Then, the spring member 38 contracts and the hook 15 moves as shown by the arrow (1) as a whole.
Next, when the auxiliary table 20 is lowered along the side surface of the top plate 13 as indicated by the arrow (2), the latching portion 25 is hooked on the hook 15 and the auxiliary table 20 is held on the main table 11.

When the auxiliary table 20 is lifted upward, the latching portion 25 is detached from the hook 15 and the auxiliary table 20 is separated from the main table 11.
Since the hook 15 is urged by the spring member 38 in the direction in which it fits in the concave groove 35, the hook 15 automatically fits in the concave groove 35 when the auxiliary table 20 moves away from the main table 11.

  The hook 15 can freely move in and out of the top plate 13, and the auxiliary table 20 can be easily attached. In addition, since the hook 15 is sunk when the auxiliary table 20 is not used, even when only the main table 11 is used, it is possible to work in a state that is convenient.

  Although the work desk of the present invention is applied to a wheelchair worker in the embodiment, it can be applied to a worker sitting on a normal chair as long as it works in a sitting posture.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the hook 15 has a structure in which three columnar portions 16 are extended from the top plate 13, and a band plate portion 17 is spanned around the ends of these columnar portions 16. With this structure, the shapes of the hook 15 and the latching portion 25 are simple. However, the belt plate portion 17 may be replaced with three cylinders or prisms, and each of these columns or prisms may be provided at the tip of the cylinder portion 16, and the shape of the hook 15 can be changed. In connection with this, the latching part 25 can be made into three key-shaped notches.

  The work desk of the present invention is suitable for a work desk for working in a sitting posture.

It is a perspective view of the work desk which concerns on this invention. FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along line 2-2 of FIG. It is the figure which attached the auxiliary table to the main table. It is operation | movement explanatory drawing of a work desk. It is another Example figure of FIG. It is an effect | action figure of another Example. It is a figure explaining the basic principle of the prior art.
