FIG. 3 is a plan view showing the table according to the embodiment. The right view showing the table concerning the embodiment. The bottom view showing the table concerning the embodiment.

  One embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

  The table T according to the present embodiment includes a base 1, a single leg support 2 erected on the base 1, a top plate 3 supported on the leg support 2, and a countertop of the top plate 3. A tray 4 provided on the use end 3b side, wherein the leg support 2 is provided so as to be deviated to one side with respect to the center c3 of the top plate 3, and the tray 4 Are provided to be shifted to the other side. In other words, the center c4 of the tray 4 is arranged on the opposite side to the center c2 of the leg support 2 with the center c3 of the top plate 3 interposed therebetween.

  The base 1 has a flat shape. The upper surface of the base 1, in this embodiment, between an upper surface 12 a of an upper base plate, which will be described later, and a lower surface 3 e of the top plate 3, on the side opposite to the leg support 2. An open lower limb space S is formed. The base 1 includes a lower base plate 11 that supports the leg posts 2 on an upper surface 11 a, and a flat upper base plate 12 attached to the lower base plate 11, and is provided on the upper base plate 12. A lower end portion 22a of a base end mounting member 22, which will be described later, of the leg support 2 is fitted into the through hole 12x.

  The leg column 2 is a column-shaped column main body 21, a base end mounting member 22 provided at the lower end of the column main body 21 and having a larger diameter than the column main body 21, and is rigidly connected to the upper end of the column main body 21. And a top plate receiving member 23. The column body 21 is made of a round pipe made of carbon steel or the like, and has an upper plate nut 211 fixed near an upper end and a lower plate nut 212 provided near a lower end. . The base end mounting member 22 has an outer peripheral surface 22c whose lower end portion 22a fits into the through-hole 12x of the upper base plate 12, and an upper end side portion 22b located above the upper surface 12a of the upper base plate 12. It has an outer surface 22d for smoothly connecting the outer surface 21a of the support body 21 and the upper surface 12a of the upper base plate 12. The top plate receiving member 23 is a flat plate made of a hot-rolled steel plate or the like, and is rigidly connected to the column main body 21 by a flathead screw B1 fixed to a plate nut 211 on the column main body 21 or the like. I have. The leg support 2 is fixed to the base 1 by screwing a countersunk screw B2, which is penetrated from below through the lower base plate 11 and the base end mounting member 22, into the lower plate nut 212 and tightening the same. I have to.

  The top plate 3 is made of a wooden material having a substantially rectangular shape in a plan view. The top plate 3 is provided with a melamine decorative plate having wood grain oriented in the left-right direction on an upper surface 3d, and a buried nut 31 for mounting the leg support 2 on a lower surface 3e side. , A buried nut 32 for mounting the tray 4 is provided. Then, a countersunk screw B3, which is passed through the top plate receiving member 23 of the leg support 2 from below, is screwed into a buried nut 31 for mounting the leg support 2 and tightened. Installed.

  The tray 4 has a left-right dimension w2 shorter than the left-right dimension w1 of the top plate 3, and is attached to the top plate 3, for example, shifted rightward in front view. Therefore, a free space SS in which the tray 4 does not exist is formed between the left end 4f of the tray 4 and the left end 3f of the top plate 3 in a front view. The tray 4 is integrally formed by bending a steel plate. The tray 4 is fixed to the lower surface 3e of the top plate 3 in a state where the front end edge extends outward beyond the non-use end 3b of the top plate 3. And a standing plate 42 erected from the extended end of the bottom plate 41 to a position higher than the upper surface 3 d of the top plate 3. A groove M is formed between them. The groove M is set to have a dimension into which the lower end of a smartphone or tablet can be inserted, and can accommodate a writing instrument or the like. Felt layers 41a and 42a are formed on the surfaces of the bottom plate 41 and the upright plate 42 that form the inner surface of the groove M, respectively. The bottom plate 41 is fixed to the top plate 3 by screwing a countersunk screw B4 penetrating the bottom plate 41 from below into the buried nut 32 for mounting the tray 4 and tightening.

  With such a configuration, for example, the use end 3a of the top plate 3 can be used with the user sitting on a sofa (first use mode), or the base 1 can be viewed from the front by changing the posture by 90 degrees. The right side can be made to enter the space under the sofa, and the top plate 3 can be used beside the user (second use mode). In the case of the first use mode, since the tray 4 is shifted to the right in front view, the user intuitively uses the table T with the lower limb positioned on the right side of the leg support 2. Therefore, during use, the tray 4 exists directly in front, and the work can be performed by effectively using the top plate 3 and the tray 4. Since the lower limb space S formed below the top 3 is open to the right, the user can get out of the top 3 by slightly moving the table T, and can take a break or other work. It is possible to appropriately respond to movement. On the other hand, in the case of the above-mentioned second use mode, the base 1 is shifted from the center of the table T (the center c3 of the top plate 3) because the (the center c2 of) the leg support 2 is shifted from the center of the sofa. Can be penetrated deeply, and accordingly, the top plate 3 is also deeply covered on the seat surface of the sofa. Therefore, the table T can be arranged beside the user sitting on the sofa. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the table T from protruding greatly from the sofa, and it becomes easy for other workers to come and go in front of the sofa. At this time, since the end of the tray 4 is held down on the sofa side by the above-mentioned free space rather than the end of the top plate 3, the hands or clothes of workers who come and go in front of the sofa may touch or catch on the tray 4. Can be suppressed. When the table T is not used, it is possible to bite the couch in a posture according to the second use mode and keep the couch in a standby state. The effect of being difficult to be achieved is exhibited.

  Since this table T supports the top plate 3 with one leg support 2, it is easy to reduce the number of parts as compared with a table that supports the top plate with a plurality of legs, and it is also conventional. Unlike the single column type table T, the leg column 2 is shifted from the center c3 of the top plate 3, so that the possibility that the leg column 2 becomes an obstacle for the user can be reduced and the usability is improved. Can be done. Moreover, the tray 4 is shifted to the opposite side to the leg support 2, that is, the center c4 of the tray 4 is opposite to the center c2 of the leg support 2 with the center c3 of the top plate 3 interposed therebetween. As described in the first mode of use, an effect of intuitively guiding the user to the side where the lower limb space S is wide can be expected. In addition, if the tray 4 is shifted, as described in the second usage mode, it is possible to suppress the tray 4 from being in the way.

  Note that the present invention is not limited to the embodiment described above.

  For example, the shape of the top plate and the horizontal dimension of the tray may be arbitrary. However, as in the above-described embodiment, if the top plate has a substantially rectangular shape in plan view and the tray has a horizontal dimension shorter than the horizontal dimension of the top panel, the entire tray is , So that it does not obstruct a person passing by in the vicinity during use.

  Further, the tray may have any shape. However, as in the above-described embodiment, the bottom plate fixed to the lower surface of the top plate with the front edge extended outward from the non-use end of the top plate, and from the extended end of the bottom plate If a tray is provided which has an upright plate raised to a position higher than the top surface of the top plate and a groove is formed between the upright plate and the top plate, the writing implement is stored inside the groove. In addition, the smartphone or tablet can be held in the tray with the lower end of the smartphone or tablet inserted into the groove.

  The shape of the leg support and the other configuration are not limited to those in the above-described embodiment, and any structure may be adopted, such as a structure in which the support body has a prismatic shape or a polygonal shape. In addition, any manner of supporting the top plate with the support may be adopted. However, as in the above-described embodiment, a column main body, a base end mounting member provided at the lower end of the column main body and having a larger diameter than the column main body, and rigidly connected to the upper end of the column main body. In the case of a leg post having a top plate receiving member, the table itself can be stably placed on the floor while the top plate can be stably supported on the leg post. Can be kept.

The shape of the base and other configurations may be arbitrary. However, as in the above-described embodiment, the base has a flat shape, and the lower limb space opened to the opposite leg support side is formed between the upper surface of the base and the lower surface of the top plate. If this is the case, besides that the leg posts are offset to one side with respect to the center of the top plate and the trays are offset to the other side, seat on the use end side. When used, the lower limb space of the user can be comfortably stored in the lower limb space, and used in a natural posture. Also, as in the above-described embodiment, a lower base plate that supports the base end mounting member of the leg support on the upper surface, and a flat upper base plate attached to the lower base plate are provided. If the configuration adopts the lower end portion of the base end mounting member fitted into the through hole provided in the base plate,
The base attachment member may have any shape. However, as in the above-described embodiment, the lower end portion has an outer peripheral surface that fits into the through hole of the upper base plate, and the upper surface of the upper base plate. If the upper end portion located above has an outer surface that smoothly connects the outer surface of the support body and the upper surface of the upper base plate, the table can be stably mounted on the floor surface, and the appearance can be improved. Can be trimmed.

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