  Next, the operation of the furniture system S and the tables T1 and T3 will be described.

  When connecting a plurality of meeting tables T1, as shown in FIG. 9, first, the tables T1 separated from each other are moved toward each other using casters 213 and 232, respectively, The table T11 is moved using the casters 213 and 232 so as to be adjacent to the other table T12. And as shown in FIG. 10, while the 1st edge 15 of the top plate 1 of one table T11 and the 2nd edge 16 of the top plate 1 of the other table T12 are located in a straight line, One of the opposing sides 14 of one table T11 and the other so that the second end 16 of the top 1 of the table T11 and the first end 15 of the top 1 of the other table T12 are aligned in a straight line. One of the opposing sides 14 of the top plate 1 of the table T12 is made adjacent. That is, one of the outer legs 21 of one table T11 is inserted under the top plate 1 of the other table T12, and one of the outer legs 21 of the other table T12 is inserted into the top plate 1 of the one table T11. The tables T11 and T12 are made adjacent to each other by being submerged below. At that time, the concave portion 31 provided on the upper end surface 215 of the outer leg 21 of one table T11 and the protrusion 33 provided on the lower surface 19 of the top plate 1 are engaged with each other, and the outer surface of the other table T12 is The recess 31 provided on the upper end surface 215 of the leg 21 and the protrusion 33 provided on the lower surface 19 of the top plate 1 are engaged with each other. In the state where a plurality of meeting tables T1 are connected in this way, the top board 1 can be used widely, and it is necessary to lock all the casters 213, 232 out of the eight casters 213, 232. It is possible to temporarily make the table T1 connected without any movement impossible.

  In addition, when it is desired to separate the plurality of connected meeting tables T1 and use them individually, the connected tables T1 are moved away from each other using the casters 213 and 232, or By moving one table T11 away from the other table T12 using the casters 213 and 232, the engagement state between the protrusion 33 and the recess 31 of the coupling mechanism 3 may be released.

  When stacking a plurality of meeting tables T 1, first, as shown in FIG. 13, the outer leg 21 of one table T 11 is lifted and the caster 232 of the inner leg 23 is used to lift the top of the other table T 12. The plate 1 is moved so as to approach the second end 16 side. Then, in a state where the casters 232 of the inner leg 23 of one table T11 are used, the thickness of the top plate 1 and the protruding dimensions of the horizontal frames 22 and 24 and the vertical frame 25 arranged on the lower surface of the top plate 1 are lifted. The top plate 1 of the other table T12 is passed from the second end 16 side between the outer legs 21 of the other table T11, and the outer leg 21 of one table T11 is the outer leg 21 of the other table T12. Move it closer to. Thus, one top plate 1 is arranged so as to overlap the top plate 1 of the other table T12, and the outer leg 21 of one table T11 is adjacent to the outer leg 21 of the other table T12. If the hand is released from the table T11 in the arranged state, as shown in FIG. 14, the state where one table T11 is stacked on the other table T12 can be maintained. As described above, the stacking operation in the vertical direction can be performed like a nesting operation from the left and right directions, so that even when the table T1 is relatively heavy, stacking can be easily performed.

  When it is desired to use a plurality of stacked meeting tables T1 after releasing the stacking state, the uppermost stacked table T1 is placed between the outer legs 21 of the table. The stacking state may be canceled by moving the table T1 so as to be extracted from the second end 16 side of the top plate 1 of the table T1.

  As described above, the furniture system S according to the present embodiment includes the two meeting tables T1 including the top plate 1 and the legs 2 and the device mounting table T3. The top plate 1 is formed between a pair of opposing sides 14, a first end 15 formed between one ends 14a of the opposing sides 14, and a second end 14b of the opposing sides 14. The leg 2 is provided on one end 14a side of the opposing sides 14 and is formed in a pair of outer sides that are located outside the opposing sides 14 in plan view. A leg 21 and an inner leg 23 provided on the other end 14b side of the opposing sides 14 and positioned on the inner side of the opposing side 14 in plan view, are provided on one of the raised meeting tables T1. The other meeting table between the outer legs 21 1 of the top plate 1 is passed from the second end side 16 side, and to be able to stacking table T1 for one meeting on a table T1 for the other meetings. Therefore, even if the table T1 is larger than the conventional table T1 that cannot be stacked unless it is lifted more than the length of the table legs, the stacking operation and the operation of lowering the stacked table T1 can be performed. Can be easily performed. Therefore, it is possible to construct the furniture system S that can be suitably used over a wide range of usages such as work, office work, and conference, and can be suitably stored when not in use.

  One of the outer legs 21 of one table T11 is inserted under the top plate 1 of the other table T12, and one of the outer legs 21 of the other table T12 is placed under the top plate 1 of one table T11. Since both the tables T11 and T12 can be made adjacent by being submerged, the opposing sides 14 of the tables T11 and T12 are arranged even though the outer leg 21 is positioned outside the opposing side 14 in plan view. You can bring them as close as possible. Therefore, the tables T11 and T12 can be widely used.

  In addition, a connecting mechanism 3 for connecting the outer leg 21 that sinks under the top board 1 and the top board 1 is provided, and the connecting mechanism 3 is provided on the upper end surface 215 of the outer leg 21. And the projections 33 provided on the lower surface 19 of the top plate 1 and engaged with the recesses 31 are provided so that the tables T11 and T12 are adjacent to each other by using the concave-convex engagement. Can be maintained. In particular, in the present embodiment, since the recess 31 and the protrusion 33 are made of synthetic resin, a certain amount of elastic deformation can be allowed during the engagement operation and the release operation, and the occurrence of collision noise is also suppressed. Can do. In this embodiment, since the lower surface 19 of the top plate 1 is made of wood, it is difficult to provide a complicated concave shape on the lower surface 19. However, as described above, the protrusion 33 is attached to the lower surface 19 of the top plate 1. As a result, it is possible to make the shape of the protrusion 33 into a complicated shape that matches the concave portion 31, and the strength of the top plate 1 can be maintained.

  Further, in the meeting table T1 and the device mounting table T3 of the present embodiment, the outer leg 21 includes an outer leg main body 211 and a cap 212 that is detachably attached to the upper end of the outer leg main body 211. Since the option member 4 can be inserted into the outer leg main body 211 with the cap 212 removed, the outer leg 21 can be used for attaching the option member 4. .

  The present invention is not limited to the embodiment described above.

  The table used in the furniture system of the present invention may be as shown in FIG. That is, the table T2 is such that the opposing sides 14 of the top plate 1 are parallel to each other, more specifically, the opposing sides 14 are parallel to each other, and the first end 15 and the second side Are substantially parallel to each other and have a substantially rectangular shape in plan view that is longer than the opposing side 14. The top plate 1 is provided with a protruding portion 18 along the opposing sides 14 and the first and second end sides 16 on the outer edge of the upper surface 17, and a protruding portion along the opposing sides 14 that make a pair. 18 guides the writing sheet 10 placed on the top board 1 so as to be slidable. The writing sheet 10 has a substantially square shape in a plan view in which the length of one side is the same as the internal dimension between the protruding portions 18 of the opposite side 14. If it is such, the position of the writing sheet 10 on the top plate 1 can be arbitrarily changed during a meeting or the like.

  In addition, the shape of the top plate and the place where the legs are arranged are such that the top plate of the other table is passed from the second end side between the lifted outer legs of the one table and one table is placed on the other table. Any device that can be stacked can be used. For example, the shape of the top plate is not limited to a square or a rectangle, and may be a trapezoid or other different shapes. Further, the opposing side, the first end side, and the second end side of the top plate are not limited to being linear, and may be curved. Further, the inner leg is not limited to a cylindrical column shape, and may be a plate shape. Moreover, the number of inner legs may be one.

  In the above-described embodiment, the shelf board is detachably provided on the device mounting table. However, a similar shelf board may be provided detachably on the meeting table. In the meeting table, the outer leg includes an outer leg main body and a cap that is detachably attached to the upper end of the outer leg main body, and the cap is removed. Since the optional member can be inserted into the outer leg main body, when the outer leg is not used for connecting the table, it goes without saying that the optional member may be attached to the outer leg. Note that the option member is not limited to the above-described support for mounting the display, and can be variously changed.

  The leg of the present invention may not be provided with a caster, but if it is provided with a caster as in the present embodiment, the top plate of the other table is placed between the outer legs of the raised one table. When passing one table from the second end side and stacking one table on the other table, it is easy to move the other table. In particular, in a relatively large table like this embodiment, the table can be moved relatively easily using this caster even in a case other than the stacking operation.

  Further, the coupling mechanism is not limited to the above-described embodiment and can be variously changed. For example, the coupling mechanism may include a recess provided on the lower surface of the top plate and a protrusion provided on the upper end surface of the outer leg and engaging with the recess. Also, the size and shape of the recesses and protrusions can be variously changed.

  Furthermore, the size of the top plate is not limited to that of the above-described embodiment, and can be variously changed. Of course, the number of stacking and connecting tables may be three or more.

  In addition, various changes may be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
