Description

  In the present invention, a plurality of top plates are connected in the length direction, and the intermediate leg supporting the connection top plate is formed with a small (short) width so that the wagon can be anywhere in the space below the connection top plate. For a connecting desk that can be arranged arbitrarily, a combination of a desk and a wagon that can be arranged space-efficiently under the top plate of the desk, and a space-efficient arrangement under the top plate The present invention relates to a wagon formed so as not to fall even if it is a wagon formed with a small left and right width.

  Recently, a long (top width) top plate, for example, a top plate with a length of about 3 m, connecting at least 2 to 3 or more, for example, a long connecting top plate with a length of about 9 m. Desks formed by (hereinafter simply referred to as “connected top plates”) have come to be used in offices and the like.

  For desks with this type of connected top plate (hereinafter referred to as the unit “connected desk”), the front and rear width (in the depth direction of the top plate) of the intermediate leg that supports the top plate connecting portion from below should be kept small. Because there are no obstacles (mainly intermediate legs) in the space below the top plate through the left and right direction, the wagon replaces the sleeve cabinet that is fixedly placed on the right or left side under the top plate in the normal type desk There is an advantage that the (sleeve cabinet with casters) can be arranged at an arbitrary position below the connection top plate, and it is possible to use a connection top plate (connection desk) with high use efficiency.

  However, the wagons placed under the conventional connecting top plate have the same width (front width, specifically around 400mm) as the standard-sized sleeve cabinet made for ordinary desks. There is a current situation that the utilization efficiency of a vast space formed on the lower surface side of the plate cannot be improved so much.

  On the other hand, the long connecting top plate has panel-like legs as an example at the left and right ends, and the intermediate leg has a column-like leg with a small front and rear width only on the bottom side of the connecting top plate. Therefore, if the load is concentrated on the middle part of the connecting top plate, the long side of the connecting top plate may cause the back side of the panel-like leg provided on the left or right end of the connecting top plate to float. I had it.

In addition, as wagons that can be arranged under the top plate, wagons of Patent Documents 1 to 3 are known, but these known wagons have been proposed as a kind of sleeve cabinet for a normal type desk. Therefore, it is not intended for effective use of the vast space under the connecting top plate, nor is it aimed at the effect of preventing the left and right leg lifts on the long connecting top plate.
JP 2004-105276 A Japanese Patent No. 3669267 JP-A-9-164026

  Therefore, in the present invention, the middle portion of the long connecting top plate as described above and the lifting phenomenon of the left end or right end leg are effectively suppressed by the wagon equipped with a new axis, and A combination of a connection desk and a wagon that can further promote effective use of the space below the top board by the wagon, and of course, for the connection desk, a useful wagon that can be combined with a normal desk is provided. This is the issue.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the combination of the connecting table and the wagon of the present invention has a structure in which at least two top plates are connected, and normal leg bodies are provided at the left and right ends, and the connecting top plate On the inner back side of the lower surface is a connecting desk provided with a connecting top plate provided with intermediate legs with small front and rear widths, and a wagon arranged at an arbitrary position below the connecting top plate with respect to this connecting desk, In combination with a wagon provided on its upper surface with an abutting portion to the height-adjustable connecting top plate that supports or is close to the lower surface of the top plate and supports a part of the load applied to the connecting top plate. It is characterized by.

  In the present invention, in the configuration described above, at least approximately 1/2 of the front side of the wagon top plate may be provided with a lifting mechanism or a liftable structure that can align the surface with the connecting top plate surface. In addition, the front width of the wagon is not limited to the front width given to any wagon of a conventionally known normal size (normal type) wagon, for example, around 400 mm, the front width is reduced, Specifically, it can be 300 mm or less, preferably about 200 to 150 mm.

  In the present invention, since the front width of the wagon used in combination with the connecting table having a long top plate can be reduced, a large number of wagons can be arranged under the connecting top plate, and as a result, many personnel can The connecting desk can be used efficiently in space while using the wagon for private use.

  Here, when the front width of the wagon is reduced, the wagon can easily fall down to the left or right. Therefore, in the present invention, a mechanism capable of adjusting the height is provided at least on the back side in the depth direction of the wagon top plate, and the height adjusting mechanism provided on the wagon top plate disposed below the connection top plate is operated to connect the wagon top plate. The contact portion by the height adjusting mechanism is in contact with or close to the lower surface of the top plate. This makes the wagon act as a leg that supports the middle part of the connecting top plate, preventing the bending of the connecting top plate and lifting of the left and right end legs, and preventing the side wagon of the wagon itself having a small front width from falling sideways. can do.

Next, a combination of a connecting desk according to the present invention and a wagon of the present invention, and an example of an embodiment of the wagon of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 4 is a perspective view of a third example of the present invention wagon, and FIG. 5 is a perspective view of a fourth example of the present invention wagon.

  In FIG. 1, CD is an example of a connecting machine to which the present invention is applied. Here, three top plates 1 to 3 each having a length (front width) of about 2 to 3 m are connected to known connecting means ( Although not shown in the figure, there is a connecting means using bolts and nuts as an example), and the top plates 1 to 3 are connected in the length direction to form an example of the connecting top plate T.

  In the example shown in the figure, panel-like legs 4 and 5 are respectively provided at the left and right outer ends of the connecting top plate T, and the front and rear widths ( Intermediate legs 6 and 7 having a small depth width) are provided, and are formed in the basic shape of the connecting machine CD.

  In the upper surface of the connecting top plate T shown in FIG. 1, the narrow portions formed through the three top plates 1 to 3 on the front end side in the depth direction are connected to the upper surface side of the top plate and the lower surface side of the top plate. It shows the state covered with three lids 8, 9, 10 of a wiring insertion groove for insertion between them. In addition, 11 is a curtain plate suspended from the front of the connecting top plate T in the depth direction (the front surface of the connecting desk CD).

  The members from the top plates 1 to 3 to the curtain plate 11 are formed in an example (single type) of the connecting device CD to which the present invention is applied. A so-called double type in which two of the basic type connecting machines CD provided with plates 1 to 3, left and right end legs 4 and 5 and intermediate legs 6 and 7 face each other with the wiring insertion groove facing each other. There is also a connecting desk (not shown).

  In addition, in the single type connecting desk shown in FIG. 1 or the double type connecting desk (not shown), the legs 4 and 5 at the left and right end are substantially gate-shaped, There are also those using legs made of metal pipes or metal molds such as U-shaped and substantially Z-shaped.

  In the connecting table CD as described above, below the connecting top plate T, as illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 3, the front of the wagon has a width of about 1/2 compared to a standard type wagon having a front width w1 of about 400 mm. The wagon W of the present invention used in combination with the connecting device CD provided with the height adjusting mechanism 12 that functions to prevent the wagon itself from toppling over and to act as an intermediate leg is arranged while forming the width w2 (about 200 mm).

  That is, the wagon W of the present invention is formed to have a front width w2 of about 200 mm, which is approximately ½ of a known wagon (see the wagon width w1 in FIGS. 4 and 5) in this example. In the 1 wagon W, a height adjusting mechanism 12 using four screw type adjusters 12a to 12d is provided on the depth side of the top plate 13 as an example of a contact portion to the connection top plate T. In the second example of the wagon W of the present invention shown in FIG. 3, the contact portion by the height adjusting mechanism 12 is formed by two screw type adjusters 12a and 12b. If the number of the adjusters 12a to 12d is at least one, the target function of the present invention can be achieved. However, the number of adjusters 12a to 12d is arbitrary.

  The type and structure of the above wagon W are the same as those of the known standard type wagons, with a drawer Ct (see the example in FIGS. 1 to 3), or with a hinge door (not shown), Or any of an open type etc. which do not provide a door, drawer, etc. may be sufficient.

  The wagon W of the present invention is pushed directly under the top plate at an arbitrary position of the connection top plate T in a state where the contact portion to the lower surface of the connection top plate by the height adjusting mechanism 12 is set at a low position. For this movement, the wagon W in FIGS. 1 to 3 is provided with an adjuster Aj that also serves as a slider, and the wagon W in FIGS. 4 and 5 is provided with a caster Ca. In the example of FIGS. 1 to 3, the slider A is moved in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 1 by the action of a slider (slider). After positioning each wagon W under the top plate, the adjusters 12a to 12d of the height adjustment mechanism 12 of each wagon W are rotated in the upward direction so that the tops of the adjusters 12a to 12d touch the lower surface of the connecting top plate T. When contact is made, the rotation of the adjusters 12a to 12d is stopped, and the setting of the wagon W with respect to the connecting top plate T is completed (see FIG. 2).

  When the three wagons W of the present invention are set below the connecting top plate T as described above, the wagons W of the wagons W are brought into contact with the lower surface of the connecting top plate T by the adjusters 12a to 12d. In addition to supporting the vertical load applied to the connecting top plate T in a distributed manner, there is an inherent effect that the wagons W themselves are narrow (in this example, about 200 mm) and there is no risk of falling sideways. And since the width | variety of each wagon W is substantially half of a conventional product, a larger number of this invention wagons W can be arrange | positioned under the connection top plate T. FIG.

  The above-described wagon W of the present invention described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3 is such that the front surface (drawer end plate surface) is substantially equal to the front edge (front side) of the connection top plate T. It is the example arrange | positioned below.

  In the wagon of the present invention, the contact portion to the lower surface of the connecting top plate T by the height adjusting mechanism 12 is provided on the inner back side of the wagon top plate 13, so that at least half of the front side of the wagon top plate 13 is provided. It can be used by being positioned closer to the front side than the front edge of the connecting top plate T. When the wagon W is arranged in this way, the wagon top plate 13 exposed in front of the front edge of the connecting top plate T can be used as an extended top plate portion of the connecting top plate T.

  In order to further advance the above-described extended top plate function, the present invention adopts a form in which the portion that can be used as the extended top plate portion in the wagon top plate 13 is separated from the top plate portion 13a in which the height adjusting mechanism 12 is provided. As shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, an elevating mechanism or a liftable structure 14 is incorporated in the extended top plate portion 13b so as to be exposed from the front edge of the connecting top plate T. If the top surface of the extended top plate portion 13b is aligned with the top surface of the connecting top plate T by the lifting mechanism or the liftable structure 14, the top surface of the extended top plate is aligned. It becomes easier to use.
