  For this reason, the present invention improves the inconveniences of the above-described conventional example, and can be realized by an easy operation that can be adjusted in two steps so that it can be used especially by a user who sits or stands. An object of the present invention is to provide an operating device stand that can be manufactured at a low cost with a configuration.

  Therefore, an operating device stand according to one aspect of the present invention is engaged with a top plate on which the operating device is placed and a surface opposite to the mounting surface of the top plate, and faces each other with respect to the top plate. A pair of standing footboards, and the pair of footboards are rotatably engaged with the top plate so that they can be changed between a standing state with respect to the top plate and a horizontal state with respect to the top plate. It is characterized by that.

  And, when the pair of footboards is in a standing state with respect to the top board, the reinforcing board is supported between the pair of footboards so that the pair of footboards does not rotate toward the top board. Is engaged with a surface opposite to the mounting surface of the top plate, and the reinforcing plate is supported with respect to the top plate together with the pair of foot plates and the state of supporting the pair of foot plates from rotating from the standing state. It is characterized in that it is engaged with the top plate so that it can be freely changed to a horizontal state.

  Furthermore, a locking means for locking the rotation of the reinforcing plate is provided so as to keep the reinforcing plate at a position that supports the standing of the pair of foot plates.

  According to the above device, first, the user places the operating device on the top board. When the height of the operating device is set low, such as when the user sits at a desk and performs work, the pair of foot plates and the reinforcing plate are rotated and folded so as to be horizontal with respect to the top plate. On the other hand, when setting the height of the operation device to be high, for example, when the user is standing, the pair of the folded state can be obtained by lifting the top plate while the operation device is placed on the top plate. The foot board rotates and is placed upright with respect to the top board. Along with this, the reinforcing plate is also rotated and positioned between the pair of foot plates, and the rotation is locked by the locking means. Thereby, the standing footboard becomes a leg of the base, and the position of the top board is set high. At this time, rotation of the standing foot plate is locked by the reinforcing plate, and the standing state can be stably maintained.

  Since this invention is comprised and functions as mentioned above, according to this, since an operating device stand can be comprised with a simple structure, cost reduction can be achieved. Further, the height adjustment can be easily performed while the operating device is placed on the top board, and it has an excellent effect that the convenience of the user can be improved.

  The present invention relates to a table on which an operating device is placed. In the following embodiments, a case where a keyboard and a mouse which are operating devices of a personal computer are placed will be described as an example. However, the operating device to be placed is not limited to a keyboard or a mouse.

  A first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating a configuration when the height of the operating device base is set low, and FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating a configuration when the height is set high. FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example in use.

[Constitution]
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the operating device base includes a top plate 1 on which an operating device such as a keyboard and a mouse is placed, and a pair of legs engaged with a surface opposite to the placement surface of the top plate 1. A plate 2 and a reinforcing plate 3. Details will be described below.

  The top plate 1 is a substantially rectangular plate member. In addition, there are provided substantially rectangular foot plates 21 and 22 arranged in the vicinity of both ends in the longitudinal direction (left and right direction in FIGS. 1 and 2) so that the plate surfaces are orthogonal to the longitudinal direction. . One end of each of the foot plates 21 and 22 is rotatably engaged with the top plate 1, and the other end of the operating device base is grounded when the other end is erected substantially vertically with respect to the top plate 1. The legs are formed.

  On one end side of each foot plate 21, 22, strip-shaped auxiliary members 21 a, 22 a having the same shape as one end surface of each foot plate 21, 22 are respectively fixedly attached to the top plate 1, The height is equal to the thickness of the reinforcing plate 3 described later. And the one end surface of each footplate 21 and 22 mentioned above is rotatably engaged with each auxiliary member 21a and 22a via rotation engagement means, such as hinge 21b. In FIG. 2, only one hinge 21b is shown, but other hinges 21b are also provided.

  Accordingly, by rotating the foot plates 21 and 22 with respect to the top plate 1, that is, the auxiliary members 21a and 22a, first, as shown in FIG. It can be in a folded state. Further, as shown by the arrows in FIG. 1, by rotating and opening the foot plates 21 and 22, the end surfaces of the auxiliary members 21 a and 22 a and the foot plates 21 and 22 come into contact with each other. On the other hand, it can be made to stand substantially vertically. At this time, the foot plates 21 and 22 face each other.

  Also, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the above-described reinforcing plate 3 having a substantially rectangular shape is provided between the foot plates 21 and 22 so as to be engaged with the top plate 1. Specifically, auxiliary members with which the foot plates 21 and 22 are engaged along the vicinity of one side along the longitudinal direction of the top plate 1 (in the vicinity of one side located on the back side in FIGS. 1 to 2). Between 21a and 22a, it is rotatably engaged using a hinge etc. Thereby, the reinforcing plate 3 is rotated as shown by the arrow in FIG. 1 so that the rotation end is positioned between the opposing surfaces of the foot plates 21 and 22 erected as shown in FIG. Each foot plate 21, 22 is supported so as not to rotate in the direction shown in FIG. 2, that is, the direction folded toward the top plate 1.

  Note that, for example, a string (locking means) is attached near the rotation end of the reinforcing plate 3, and the other end of the string is tied to the top plate 1 and the length thereof is adjusted, whereby the top plate 1 can be suspended. Thereby, the rotation end part of the reinforcement board 3 can be latched in a position as shown in FIG. 2, and support of the foot boards 21 and 22 is realizable as mentioned above. Note that the means for locking the rotation of the reinforcing plate 3 is not limited to the shape described above. For example, a member that protrudes on the surface of the foot plates 21 and 22 near the position where the rotation end of the reinforcing plate 3 is to be locked is provided, and the vicinity of the rotation end of the reinforcing plate 3 is supported and locked by the protruding member from below. May be.

  On the other hand, when the reinforcing plate 3 is rotated and folded toward the top plate 1, the reinforcing plate 3 comes into contact with the back surface of the top plate 1 and becomes horizontal with the top plate 1. At this time, since the plate thickness of the reinforcing plate 3 is formed substantially equal to the height of the auxiliary members 21a and 22a, it does not protrude from the height of the reinforcing members 21a and 22a, and is further folded underneath. The foot plates 21 and 22 are folded into a stacked state. Therefore, the height of the mounting surface of the top plate 1 in such a case is only the thickness of the top plate 1, the reinforcing plate 3, and the foot plates 21 and 22, as shown in FIG.

[Operation]
Next, the operation when using the operating device stand having the above configuration will be described with reference to FIGS. First, when the user sits at the desk and performs the personal computer operation, the foot plates 21 and 22 and the reinforcing plate 3 are rotated and folded so as to be horizontal with respect to the top plate 1 and are shown in FIG. And set the height of the top plate 1 low. Then, as shown in FIG. 3A, a keyboard and a mouse are placed thereon, so that an operation while sitting can be performed.

  Thereafter, when operating the personal computer while the user is standing up, the top plate 1 is lifted while the keyboard and mouse are placed on the top plate 1, and the arrow shown in FIG. The footboards 21 and 22 in the folded state are rotated so as to stand upright with respect to the top board. At the same time, the reinforcing plate 3 is also rotated and positioned between the pair of foot plates 21 and 22, and its rotation is locked by locking means (not shown) such as a string. Thereby, the standing foot plates 21 and 22 become legs, and the position of the top plate 1 is set high. At this time, since the standing foot plates 21 and 22 are supported by the reinforcing plate 3 so as not to rotate in the folding direction, the standing state can be stably maintained.

  Further, when the height of the operating device base is reset from a high setting to a low setting, the reinforcing plate 3 and the foot plates 21 and 22 are rotated as shown by the arrows in FIG. By folding so as to be horizontal with respect to the plate 1, it can be set to a low height as shown in FIG.

  By doing in this way, an operating device stand can be implement | achieved by a simple structure, and reduction in manufacturing cost can be aimed at. Further, the height can be easily adjusted while the operating device is placed on the top board, and the convenience of the user can be improved.

  In the above, the hinges 21b and the like are provided on the facing surfaces of the foot plates 21 and 22 so that the foot plates 21 and 22 can be folded inward from the standing state (see FIG. 2). The foot plates 21 and 22 may be configured to be rotatable such that the foot plates 21 and 22 are folded in the outer direction (both ends located in the longitudinal direction of the top plate 1). That is, the outer surfaces of the auxiliary members 21a and 22a or the top plate 1 itself and the outer surfaces of the foot plates 21 and 22 may be rotatably engaged by hinges or the like.

  As a result, by rotating the foot plates 21 and 22 relative to the auxiliary members 21a and 22a or the top plate 1 from the standing state, the foot plates 21 and 22 are substantially parallel to the top plate 1 ( It can be folded in the outward direction so as to be horizontal), and its height can be set low. At this time, the thickness of the top plate 1 and each of the foot plates 21 and 22 becomes the height of the mounting surface of the top plate 1, and the height of the operating device can be set lower.

  INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY The present invention can be used as a table on which an operation device such as a keyboard and mouse of a personal computer can be placed and the height thereof can be adjusted, and has industrial applicability.
