Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to furniture with a top plate that can suitably route wiring.
[0002]
[Prior art]
With the recent progress in OA, the amount of power lines and communication lines in offices and homes has become enormous. In particular, a meeting table installed in an office has a structure in which the top board is partially supported by leg posts, and a wide leg space is secured, while a personal computer or the like is placed on the top board. When placed, the power line and the communication line overflow to the surroundings, causing problems such as narrowing the work surface on the top board and obstructing walking on the floor.
[0003]
Therefore, in order to eliminate such an inconvenience, a wiring insertion portion is formed in the support column to store the wiring.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
By the way, if a support | pillar is made into a perfect hollow body-like thing, it will have to go through the procedure which inserts wiring from one end of a longitudinal direction, and takes out from the other end side at every wiring work. However, in the installed state of the table, the lower end of the leg column is installed on the floor, and the top plate is attached to the upper end, so that it is difficult to perform wiring work in such installed state.
[0005]
Therefore, in order to allow the wiring to be taken in and out with the table still installed, the conventional one has a partially hollow body and a slit extending in the vertical direction in a part thereof. The wiring can be taken in and out of the wiring insertion part via the. For this reason, although the convenience of wiring work can be ensured, the wall portion appearing in the cross section of the leg column is not completely closed, resulting in the loss of the rigidity of the leg column.
[0006]
Such an inconvenience is not limited to the table, and may be similarly applied to other furniture with a top plate that accommodates some OA devices for use.
[0007]
The present invention has been made in view of the above inconveniences, and is a top plate that suitably conceals the wiring and can easily insert and remove the wiring without impairing the strength of the leg support. It is intended to provide furnished furniture.
[0008]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve this object, the present invention employs the following configuration.
[0009]
That is, the furniture with a top plate according to the present invention is such that the top plate is supported by a leg column, and the leg column has a wall portion that circulates in a cross section and is closed inside the wall portion. And a wiring passage part that is formed at a position adjacent to the pillar body, is closed by using the wall part, and is partially opened through a slit. The wiring passage can be inserted into and removed from the wiring passage portion through the slit, and the wiring passage portion is partially surrounded by the wall portion of the column main body and the protruding portion extending outward from the wall portion. The wiring stopper having a C-shaped base end can be mounted on a raised portion provided at the base end of the protruding portion .
[0010]
With such a configuration, it is possible to prevent the wiring that is raised from the floor or dropped from the top plate from passing through the wiring passage portion formed inside the leg column and not exposed to the outside. . In addition, since the wiring passage part is partially opened through the slit, it is possible to effectively carry out the wiring operation with respect to the wiring passage part through the slit while the table is installed. In addition, even if such a wiring passage part is provided, the wall of the column main body that constitutes the leg column is closed and closed, so the disadvantage of impairing the rigidity as the leg column that supports the furniture with the top plate is also effective. It is possible to avoid it.
[0011]
As a concrete embodiment, there is a configuration in which the wiring passage part is partially surrounded by the wall part of the column main body and the protruding part extending outward from the wall part.
[0012]
In this case, in order to improve the appearance of the leg column, it is desirable that a part of the wall portion of the column main body and the protruding portion apparently form the outer wall of the leg column.
[0013]
In that case, in order to improve the convenience of manufacture, it is preferable to integrally mold the protruding portion together with the column main body by extrusion molding.
[0014]
In order to reduce the number of parts, it is effective to form a mounting portion for mounting the grounding body using the wall portion of the column main body.
[0015]
Also in this case, in order to improve manufacturing convenience, it is preferable to integrally form the mounting portion together with the column main body by extrusion molding.
[0016]
In order to improve the fit of the wiring, it is advantageous that the wiring stopper for closing the wiring passage portion can be selectively attached to an appropriate portion in the longitudinal direction of the slit.
[0017]
Since this invention is the above structures, it is especially effective when furniture with a top plate is a table with the wide leg space formed by opening between adjacent leg columns.
[0018]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
[0019]
FIG.1 and FIG.2 has shown the table which is the furniture with a top plate of this embodiment. This table is provided with a top plate 1 and four leg posts 2 that support the lower surfaces near the four corners of the top plate 1. The table C is dropped from the wiring C raised from the floor F or the top plate 1. The wiring C can be accommodated by passing through the inside of the leg support 2.
[0020]
Specifically, the top plate 1 is formed by attaching a downward U-shaped reinforcing member 3 at the center of the lower surface, and using this reinforcing member 3, a PC hanger 41 for supporting a personal computer PC, In addition to the wiring receiver 42, an optional member such as a table top panel can be attached.
[0021]
The leg support 2 is integrally formed by aluminum extrusion, and a plate material 2a is fixed to the upper end by screwing or the like. The plate material 2a is superposed on the lower surface of the top plate 1 and screwed from below. By doing so, the leg support 2 is attached to the top board 1.
[0022]
As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the leg strut 2 includes a strut body 21 and a wiring passage portion 22. Specifically, the column main body 21 includes a first wall A1 that draws a semicircular arc in a cross section, a second wall A2 that extends continuously from one end of the first wall A1 in an L shape, 2 wall part A2 and the third wall part A3 and the fourth wall part A4 respectively extending from the other end of the first wall part A1 toward the center of the leg support 2, and the surrounding wall part A1, The inner space is closed by A2, A3, and A4.
[0023]
Further, a projecting portion 23 extending in an L shape outward from the intersection of the second wall portion A2 and the third wall portion A3 is integrally formed at an adjacent position of the column main body 21, and the first wall portion A slit 24 extending in the longitudinal direction is formed between the intersection of A1 and the fourth wall portion A4 and the tip of the projection 23. Then, the wiring passage portion 22 of the present invention is formed at a position where the protrusion 23, the third region A3, and the fourth region A4 are closed in a substantially C shape and partially opened through the slit 24. ing.
[0024]
Then, the first wall portion A1, the second wall portion A2 and the protruding portion 23 of the column main body 21 appear at positions exposed to the outside and form the outer wall of the apparent leg column 2.
[0025]
A protruding portion 23a having a partial columnar shape is provided at the tip of the protruding portion 23 at the time of extrusion molding. A resin wiring stopper 25 having a base end 25a having a C-shape is elastically formed on the protruding portion 23a. The slit 24 is closed at an appropriate position in the longitudinal direction of the leg support 2 so that the wiring passage portion 22 can be closed.
[0026]
Further, an adjuster can be attached to the lower end of the leg support 2 using the wall portion A or the like. Therefore, at the time of extrusion molding, while forming the partially cylindrical shaft mounting portion 26a by making the center coincide with the center of the leg support 2 at the intersection of the third wall portion A3 and the fourth wall portion A4, A partially cylindrical pin mounting portion 26b is formed on the inner surface of the central portion of the first wall portion A1, the inner surface of the bent portion of the second wall portion A2, and the inner surface of the bent portion of the protruding portion 23. On the other hand, the adjuster 5 is formed with a shaft portion 52 that can be mounted on the shaft mounting portion 26a and a pin 53 that can be mounted on the pin mounting portion 26b on a mounting plate portion 51 provided on the upper portion of the main body. Thus, the shaft portion 52 and the pin 53 are mounted on the corresponding mounting portions 26a and 26b, respectively, so that the adjuster 5 can be attached to the leg column 2.
[0027]
As described above, in the table of the present embodiment, the leg support 2 that supports the top plate 1 has the wall portions A1, A2, A3, and A4 that circulate in the cross section, and inside the wall portions A1 to A4. A closed hollow body-like column main body 21 and an inner portion formed at a position adjacent to the column main body 21 are closed using the third wall portion A3 and the fourth wall portion A4, and a part thereof is interposed through the slit 24. The wiring passage portion 22 is opened and the wiring C can be taken into and out of the wiring passage portion 22 through the slit 24.
[0028]
For this reason, it is possible to prevent the wiring C raised from the floor F or dropped from the top plate 1 from passing through the wiring passage portion 22 formed inside the leg support 2 and not being exposed to the outside. Even when a personal computer or the like is used on the board 1, it is possible to effectively avoid a situation in which the wiring C is unsightly and messy. In addition, since the wiring passage portion 22 is partially opened through the slit 24, the wiring C can be taken in and out of the wiring passage portion 22 through the slit 24 while the table 1 is installed. It can be carried out effectively from the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of C, and good usability can also be obtained. In particular, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the slits 24 of the pair of leg struts 2 adjacent in the depth direction face each other, that is, the slits 24 are opened to the lower limb space side, Since it does not open outward, the inconvenience that the appearance is impaired due to the presence of the slit 24 can be prevented. In addition, even if such a wiring passage portion 22 is provided, the column main body 21 constituting the leg column 2 is closed around the wall portions A1 to A4, so that the rigidity as the leg column 1 supporting the table is increased. It is possible to maintain the function of the table properly without any inconvenience.
[0029]
Specifically, the wiring passage portion 22 is partially surrounded by the third wall portion A3 and the fourth wall portion A4 of the column main body 21 and the protruding portion 23 extending outward from the third wall portion A3. Therefore, the shape of the leg column 2 can be freely defined through the shapes of the wall portions A3, A4 and the protruding portion 23, and an appropriate design can be performed according to the purpose and application.
[0030]
For example, in this embodiment, the third wall portion A3, the fourth wall portion A4, and the protruding portion 23 of the column main body 21 apparently form a smooth outer wall of the leg column 2, so A sense of stability and a sense of unity can be suitably produced, and the appearance of the leg support 2 can be effectively adjusted.
[0031]
In addition, in this embodiment, by using the intersection part of the third wall part A3 and the fourth wall part A4 of the column main body 21 or the first wall part A1, the second wall part A2 and the like, Since the mounting portions 26a and 26b for mounting a certain adjuster 5 are formed, it is not necessary to separately introduce a member for forming the mounting portion, and the number of parts can be effectively reduced.
[0032]
In this case, since the protruding portion 23 and the mounting portions 26a and 26b are integrally formed by extrusion molding together with the column main body 21 that is an aggregate of the wall portions A1 to A4, the convenience of manufacturing can be effectively improved. .
[0033]
In addition, since the wiring stopper 25 that closes the wiring passage portion 22 can be selectively attached to an appropriate portion in the longitudinal direction of the slit 24, the wiring C is prevented from being spilled, and the fit is improved. can do.
[0034]
As described above, the table, which is the furniture with the top plate of this embodiment, has no table components other than the leg support 2 in the space below the top plate 1 and is in a wide leg space, and the leg support 2 is very conspicuous. Since it is easy, by applying the present invention, a function capable of suitably concealing the wiring C while ensuring the rigidity of the table can be extremely useful.
[0035]
The specific configuration of each part is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention. For example, it is also effective to partition the inside of the wiring passage part and store the power supply line and the communication line separately. Moreover, it does not prevent that the thing with comparatively low wiring frequency is accommodated in the hollow part of the leg column.
[0036]
【The invention's effect】
