Next, a procedure for attaching the inner panel 4 between the left and right legs 1 in the lower limb space of the desk by using this latch device will be described. First, the latch body 5 in a state in which the claw body 53 is folded toward the base 51 side and the projection 62 is engaged with the opening window 61 to configure the limiting mechanism 6 is attached to the inner panel 4 in the state shown in FIG. The attachment is performed by inserting the protrusion 51c hanging from the base 51 of the latch body 5 into the bent portion 42 of the inner panel 4 and fixing it by an appropriate means. At this time, the tongue piece 51d is set to have such a dimensional relationship that it can be attached to the face plate portion of the inner panel 4. Then, by covering the shaft 16 projecting on the inner surface side of the column 12 of the leg 1 with the hole 45a that opens from the lower edge to the side edge of the inner panel 4, the lower ends 41a of the left and right edges of the inner panel 4 are supported. , The upper end of the inner panel 4 is rotated in the standing direction with the shaft 16 as a fulcrum. As a result, when the latch body 5 of the inner panel 4 approaches the engaging portion 31 of the leg 1 as shown in FIG. 9, the inclined surface 53a of the claw body 53 abuts on the front surface 31a of the engaging portion 31, and thereafter Elastically pressing the elastic body 54 and connecting the projection 62 to the opening window 61.
After the inclined surface 53a passes through the lower surface 31b of the engaging portion 31 in a state of being retracted in the direction of moving downward, that is, in the bending direction, the engaging recess 53c of the inclined surface 53a lowers the lower surface 31 of the engaging portion 31.
The elastic body 54 pushes it back in the anti-folding direction until it comes into contact with b, and engages with the engaging portion 31. At this time, the tongue piece 51d of the latch body 5 comes into contact with the front surface of the abutting piece 32 of the mounting member 3. The installation of the inner panel 4 at the predetermined mounting position is completed. When removing the inner panel 4, the inner panel 4 can be easily disengaged from the engaging portion 31 by pressing the inclined surface 53b facing the lower limb space side with a finger to retract the claw body 53 into the base 51 side. be able to.

With such a structure, the latch panel 5 is manufactured by providing the engaging portion 31 and the abutting portion 32 by utilizing the support 3 which is the existing component at the panel mounting position. The latch device can be constructed only by attaching to 4. For this reason, it is possible to eliminate the waste that was conventionally attached to the panel and the desk side by separately manufacturing the two parts, and it is possible to effectively reduce the number of steps and the cost.
