Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a table that can be used in offices, schools, and the like and that allows a top plate to be operated in a flap manner.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, this type of table is supported by the top plate, the leg column, and the upper end of the leg column, and the flap can be operated between a use position where the top plate is substantially horizontal and a storage position where the table stands up vertically. A well-known one is provided with a supporting flap mechanism and a leg base that is installed on the floor and supports the lower end of the leg column.
[0003]
Such a table is provided with a horizontal member that is horizontally supported by an end surface on the side surface of the leg column at a position lower than the flap mechanism in order to increase the strength and use it stably (for example, , See Patent Document 1).

[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in the configuration as described above, the horizontal member is attached at a low position avoiding the upper end portion of the leg strut to which the flap mechanism is attached. The leg space where the leg fits is narrowed. For this reason, when positioning and using a top plate in a use position, it has the problem in use that a user's leg and knee will hit a horizontal member. In addition, if a horizontal member is provided immediately below the flap mechanism so that the lower limb space is not narrowed, sufficient strength cannot be obtained and a preliminary reinforcing member has to be added.
[0006]
Therefore, the main object of the present invention is to solve the above-described problems.
[0007]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
That is, the table according to the present invention includes a top plate, a leg support for supporting the top plate, a use position that is interposed between the top plate and the leg support, and is substantially horizontal. A table having a support mechanism for supporting a flap operation between a vertically standing storage position and a latch mechanism for locking the top plate positioned at the use position so as not to move at the position. The support mechanism is attached to the upper end of the leg post and is positioned directly below the top plate, and is a rotation support shaft that is the center of rotation of the top plate that performs a flap operation, and is attached to the back surface of the top plate and the rotation support. A supporting element for supporting a shaft, and the rotating support shaft is horizontally mounted on the upper end portions of both leg struts, with the side end portion of the rotating support shaft positioned outside the inner end portion of the upper end portion of the leg struts. The latch mechanism is fixed to the rotating spindle And Rukakaritome elements protrude from the outer peripheral surface of the rotary shaft of the Do Riko Te, it is obtained by and a be-engaged elements can be locked to the locking element will be rotatably mounted on said supporting element It is characterized by.
[0008]
If this is the case, the rotation support shaft that horizontally spans between the leg posts and functions as a reinforcing member has its side end positioned outside the inner end of the upper end of the leg post. Since it is horizontally mounted on the upper ends of both leg struts, the rigidity against the force that increases or decreases the angle formed by the rotation support shaft and the leg support is, for example, the rotation support shaft on the side of the leg support. It is larger than the one fixed to the end face. Moreover, since this rotation spindle is provided directly under the top plate, the leg space can be widened at the use position. Thus, it is possible to realize a high-functional table having sufficient rigidity to stably use the wide leg space and the table.
[0009]
In addition, in order to obtain sufficient strength for more stable use of the table, the rotation support shaft is configured so that the side end portion of the rotation support shaft is substantially the same as the outer end portion of the upper end portion of the leg support. It is preferable to place it horizontally or horizontally on the upper end of both leg struts.
[0010]
In addition, if the rotation support shaft is a cylindrical member having a cross-sectional shape such as each part along the longitudinal direction, the table can be lightened and easy to use, and a general-purpose steel pipe can be used. Since a rotating support shaft can be formed, a cost advantage can be obtained.
[0011]
Further, in order to configure the support element so as to have a sufficient strength to support the rotating support shaft while being lightweight, the support element may be formed by plastic deformation of a sheet metal material.
[0012]
By the way, the rotation support shaft of the leg strut is arranged such that the counter-use end side edge closest to the top plate in the storage position protrudes from the counter-use end side edge of the leg post to the counter-use end side. If it is configured so that a predetermined gap is formed between the top plate positioned at the storage position and the leg column by arranging the top plate at the upper end, when the top plate is positioned at the storage position, the top plate and the legs It is possible to preferably prevent the scratches from occurring due to interference with the support columns. In addition, if the table is equipped with a curtain plate that interlocks with a top plate that performs a flap operation and conceals the lower limb space from a predetermined direction when the top plate is in a use position, for example, When the top plate is positioned at the storage position, the table can be stored in the gap, thereby providing a table with a small space and a good appearance.
[0013]
In addition, in order to be able to move the table stably if the top plate is in the storage position and to be stably placed on the floor if it is in the use position, it is orthogonal to the top plate surface in the storage position and A leg base comprising a first base for movably supporting the leg post and a second support for immovably supporting the leg post at both ends; Is preferably supported at a position that is substantially equidistant from both ends of the leg base.
[0014]

[0021]
As shown in FIGS. 2, 3, and 4, the leg base 22 gradually supports the leg base body 220 that supports the lower end of the leg column 21, and the leg base body 220 gradually goes from the leg base body 220 to the distal end on the use end side. A front leg base 221 with a reduced height dimension and a rear leg base 222 with a gradually decreasing height dimension from the leg base body 220 to the tip end on the side opposite to the use end are formed, and these parts are integrally formed. ing. The leg base 22 is substantially parallel to the side edge of the top plate 1 positioned at the use position (P), and is substantially orthogonal to the side edge of the top plate 1 positioned at the storage position (Q). It is arranged with respect to the plate 1. In the present embodiment, the lower end of the leg column 21 is supported at a position that is substantially equidistant from both ends of the leg base 22.
[0022]
The leg base 22 is supported by a caster 2 </ b> C or an adjuster 2 </ b> A that moves up and down relative to the floor surface F in conjunction with the flap operation of the top plate 1. More specifically, when the top plate 1 in the use position (P) is flap-operated and positioned at the storage position (Q), an operation mechanism (not shown) that operates in conjunction with this operation is shown in FIG. As shown, the caster 2C is grounded to the floor surface F, while the adjuster 2A is separated from the floor surface F. That is, when the top plate 1 is positioned at the storage position (Q), the casters 2C support the leg base 22. Further, when the top plate 1 in the storage position (Q) is flap-operated and positioned at the use position (P), the operating mechanism separates the casters 2C from the floor surface F as shown in FIG. On the other hand, the adjuster 2A is grounded to the floor surface F. That is, the adjuster 2A supports the leg base 22 when the top plate 1 is positioned at the use position (P).
[0023]
As shown in FIGS. 2, 3, 4, and the like, the support mechanism 3 includes a rotation support shaft 31 that is attached to a predetermined position on the upper end of the leg column 21 and serves as a rotation center of the top plate 1 that performs a flap operation, A top plate receiver 32 is provided as a support element that is attached to a predetermined position on the back surface of the plate 1 and is rotatably supported by the rotation support shaft 31.
[0024]
More specifically, the rotation support shaft 31 is a cylindrical pipe having a cross-sectional shape such as each part along the longitudinal direction that is horizontally mounted between the leg columns 21. Then, as shown in FIG. 6, the rotating support shaft 31 has its side end portion 31 x positioned at substantially the same position as the outer end portion 21 b of the upper end portion of the leg strut 21 and the leg strut 21. A part of the upper end portion is closed and fixed to the upper end portion of the leg column 21 by welding, while the counter-use end side edge portion 31y closest to the top plate 1 in the storage position (Q) is shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 4, the leg column 21 is fixed to the upper end portion of the leg column 21 by welding so as to be positioned at a position protruding from the counter-use end side edge portion 21y of the leg column 21 to the counter-use end side. Thus, when the top plate 1 is positioned at the storage position (Q), a gap h is formed between the top plate 1 positioned at the storage position (Q) and the leg support 21. .
[0025]
Moreover, in this embodiment, the said cover is attached to the both-sides edge part of this rotation spindle 31, and it has comprised so that the side end surface of the rotation spindle 31 can be made unappearable.
[0026]
The top plate receiver 32 is substantially parallel to the front plate 1 and the rear wall member 322 having a substantially rectangular shape in front view and standing upright and parallel to the back surface of the top plate 1, and the top plate 1. A bottom wall element 323 having a substantially rectangular shape in plan view positioned at a position away from the back surface of the plate 1, and a substantially rectangular shape in plan view provided between a lower end edge of the front standing wall element 321 and a front side edge of the bottom wall element 323. A front inclined wall element 324 having a shape, a rear inclined wall element 325 having a substantially rectangular shape in a plan view provided between a lower end edge of the rear standing wall element 322 and a rear side edge of the bottom wall element 323, and the respective elements 321. Side wall elements 326 that form a substantially trapezoidal shape in a side view and are bent substantially at right angles from the side edge of 325 and stand up with respect to the back surface of the top plate 1. Forms integrally by plastic deformation of sheet metal material It is.
[0027]
Further, the side upright wall element 326 is formed with an insertion portion 3 a having an upward U-shape for inserting the rotation support shaft 31. And if the said rotation support shaft 31 is inserted in the space enclosed by the back surface of the top plate 1 and this insertion part 3a, the said rotation support shaft 31 can be rotated by the peripheral edge of the top plate 1 back surface and the insertion part 3a. Can be supported. In the present embodiment, the rotation support shaft 31 is supported on the peripheral edge of the insertion portion 3a. For example, the rotation support shaft 31 is continuous between the peripheral edges of the pair of side standing wall elements 326. An embodiment in which a cylindrical shaft holding portion is provided is also conceivable. And if this axis | shaft holding | maintenance part hold | maintains the rotation spindle 31, it will be in the state which the cylindrical surface of the rotation spindle 31 and the cylindrical inner surface of an axis | shaft holding part will be in surface contact. It is also possible to suitably flap the top plate 1 having a relatively large weight.
[0028]
Thus, the top plate 1 can be flapped around the axis of the rotation support shaft 31 between the use position (P) and the storage position (Q). When the top plate 1 is positioned at the use position (P), the rotary support shaft 31 is positioned directly below the top plate 1, and the rotary support shaft 31 receives the load. The function as a top-plate reinforcement member which prevents 1 bending is exhibited. Further, when the top plate 1 is positioned at the storage position (Q), the rotating support shaft 31 is positioned along the side of the back surface of the upstanding top plate 1. The unit supports the top plate 1 through the top plate receiver 32.
[0029]
As shown in FIG. 4 and the like, the curtain plate 4 is attached to the top plate 1 and the leg support 21 and has a substantially rectangular shape in front view having a width dimension substantially the same as that of the top plate 1. A sheet metal material is formed by plastic deformation. In this embodiment, the curtain plate 4 is provided between the upper support member 41 interposed between the back surface of the top plate 1 and the upper portion of the curtain plate 4, and the leg column 21 and the lower portion of the curtain plate 4. When the top plate 1 is operated to flap by the intervening lower support member 42, it is supported so as to be close to or separated from the leg column 21 while being parallel to the leg column 21. Thus, when the top board 1 is in the use position (P), as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the curtain board 4 hides the lower limb space S from the non-use end side.
[0030]
As shown in FIGS. 2, 4, etc., the latch mechanism 5 is fixed to the rotating support shaft 31 and attached to the top plate receiver 32 and is locked to the locking element 51. An obtained locked element 52 and an operation lever 53 for rotating the locked element 52 around a predetermined axis are provided.
[0031]
More specifically, the locking element 51 is a downward claw that protrudes downward in a side view and has one end fixed to the rotating support shaft 31 by welding and the other end bulged toward the opposite end. In this embodiment, the sheet metal material is formed by plastic deformation. The to-be-latched element 52 is rotatably supported by a locking shaft 54 having one end portion laid horizontally between the side standing wall elements 326 of the top plate receiver 32, and the other end portion to the locking element 51. An upward claw protruding upward in a side view that can be locked. In the present embodiment, the claw is formed by plastically deforming a sheet metal material. The operating lever 53 includes a U-shaped gripping element 531 that can be gripped and operated by a user, and a connecting element 532 that serves as the center of rotation of the gripping element 531, and the connecting element 532 is connected to the locked element 52. The gripping element 531 is configured to rotate about the locking shaft 54 as a center of rotation.
[0032]
In this embodiment, the locking element 51, the locked element 52, and the connecting element 532 of the operation lever 53 are the front rising wall element 321, the rear rising wall element 322, and the bottom constituting the top plate receiver 32. It is configured to be accommodated in an accommodation space surrounded by the wall element 323, the front inclined wall element 324, the rear inclined wall element 325, and the side upright wall element 326. The gripping element 531 of the operation lever 53 is arranged so as to be exposed to the outside of the top plate receiver 32 so that a user can operate it.
[0033]
The table T configured as described above is used as follows.
[0034]
First, the case where the top plate 1 is used at the use position (P) will be described.
[0035]
When the top plate 1 is flap-operated from the storage position (Q) toward the use position (P) and is positioned at the use position (P) as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the top plate 1 is interlocked with the flap operation. As shown in FIG. 5B, the operating mechanism causes the caster 2 </ b> C to be separated from the floor surface F while the adjuster 2 </ b> A is grounded to the floor surface F. Thus, the table T is installed so as not to move with respect to the floor surface F. At this time, the curtain plate 4 moves in conjunction with the flap operation of the top plate 1 and is positioned at a position separated from the leg support 21 by a predetermined distance. Thus, a leg space S is formed which is surrounded by the leg 2 supported by the top plate 1, the curtain plate 4, the caster 2C or the adjuster 2A and the floor surface F and opens to the use end side. In addition, when the top plate 1 is positioned at the use position (P), the locked element 52 is locked by the locking element 51, so that the top plate 1 is prohibited from performing a flap operation. .
[0036]
In such a state, for example, when a load is applied to the top plate 1 by placing an article on the surface of the top plate 1, the load is applied to the leg support 21 via the rotation support shaft 31 that supports the top plate 1. It takes. At this time, the leg column 21 supports the rotation support shaft 31 at a position that is substantially equidistant from the use end side and the counter use end side of the top plate 1 and is equidistant from both tip portions of the leg base 22. Since it is supported by the leg base 22 at a position, the leg support 21 supports the rotating support shaft 31 in a state where the leg support 21 is offset in either the counter-use end side or the use end side. Can be supported in a very stable state as compared to the case where is offset in the direction of either the counter-use end side or the use end side and supported by the leg base 22.
[0037]
In the present embodiment, the rotation support shaft 31 is positioned at the same position as the outer end portion 21 b of the upper end portion of the leg support 21, and the leg support 21 is positioned at the side end 31 x of the rotation support shaft 31. Since it is fixed to the upper end portion of the leg column 21 by welding so as to block a part of the upper end portion of the leg column 21, it is compared with the case where the rotary support shaft 31 is welded and fixed to the side surface of the leg column 21 with the end surface contact. The strength with which the leg support 21 supports the rotation support shaft 31 is increased. For this reason, for example, even when a load is applied to the top plate 1 positioned at the use position (P), the space between the leg struts 21 spreads due to the load, or the leg struts 21 are bent toward the lower limb space S side. This can be suitably prevented.
[0038]
Furthermore, even if a relatively large load is applied to the center of the top plate 1 at the use position (P), the center of the top plate 1 bends downward, so that the rotary support shaft 31 positioned directly below the top plate 1 Since the top plate 1 is supported while preventing downward bending, the amount of bending of the top plate 1 can be greatly reduced as compared with the case where the rotation support shaft 31 is not provided. That is, even when a relatively large load is applied to the top plate, the top plate 1 hardly bends and can be very excellent in appearance, and the work on the top plate 1 is also substantially flat. It can carry out very suitably in a state.
[0039]
In this way, it is not necessary to attach a horizontal member for stably using the table T between the leg posts 21 or between the leg bases 22, and substantially the entire region sandwiched between the legs 2 below the top plate 1. Can be effectively used as the lower limb space S.
[0040]
Next, the case where the top plate 1 is used in the storage position (Q) will be described.
[0041]
When the user operates the tip of the operation lever 53 in a direction approaching the top plate 1, the locking of the latched element 52 and the locking element 51 of the latch mechanism 5 is released, and the top plate 1 can be flapped. It becomes a state.
[0042]
Then, when the top plate 1 is made to flap from the use position (P) to the storage position (Q) and is positioned at the storage position (Q) as shown in FIG. However, as shown in FIG. 5A, the casters 2C are installed on the floor surface F, while the adjusters 2A are separated from the floor surface F. Thus, the table T can be moved with respect to the floor surface F. At this time, the curtain plate 4 moves in conjunction with the flap operation of the top plate 1 and is positioned in a gap h formed between the top plate 1 and the leg column 21. Accordingly, the top plate 1, the leg column 21, and the curtain plate 4 stand up with respect to the floor surface F at a position that is substantially equidistant from both ends of the leg base 22.
[0043]
In such a state, when a horizontal force is applied to the top board 1 or the leg column 21, the force is transmitted to the leg base 22 that supports the leg column 21. If the force is equal to or greater than a predetermined force, the caster 2C supporting the leg base 22 rolls with respect to the floor surface F, and the top board 1 and the leg support 21 are supported on the leg base 22 while being supported by the leg base 22. Will move relative to F.
[0044]
At this time, the top board 1 and the leg support 21 are supported by the leg base 22 at a central portion that is substantially equidistant from both ends of the leg base 22. The table T can be moved in a very stable state as compared with the case where it is offset in any direction on the use end side and supported by the leg base 22.
[0045]
The table T of the present embodiment configured as described above has a wide lower limb space S that spreads from substantially directly below the top plate 1 between the legs 2 when the top plate 1 is positioned at the use position (P). The top plate surface of the top plate 1 can be used in a substantially flat state without bending the top plate 1, and the top plate 1 is in the storage position (Q). When positioned, the table T can be moved in a stable state, and a highly functional table is provided that can be used stably with high rigidity regardless of the position of the top plate 1. be able to.
[0046]
Moreover, since a horizontal member for reinforcing the space between the leg columns 21 to obtain strength is not necessary, the number of parts and the number of assembly steps can be reduced and the cost can be reduced.
[0047]
Moreover, since the cylindrical T is used for the rotation spindle 31 and the table T is reduced in weight while realizing the rigidity required for the table T, the table T can be moved with a relatively small force. Further, since the rotating support shaft 31 is formed, it is not necessary to perform complicated processing, so that a cost advantage can be obtained. Furthermore, since the top plate receiver 32 is formed by plastic deformation processing of a sheet metal material, sufficient strength to support the rotating support shaft 31 is obtained while being lightweight. Accordingly, it is possible to realize a table having a desired stability while being lightweight.
[0048]
The present invention is not limited to the embodiment described in detail above.
[0049]
For example, the rotation support shaft 31 is horizontally mounted on the upper end portions of both leg struts 21 with the side end portion 31x of the rotation support shaft 31 positioned substantially at the same position as the outer end portion 21b of the upper end portion of the leg struts 21. However, for example, the side end 31x is not limited to this as long as the side end 31x is positioned outside the inner end 21a of the leg support 21. At this time, if the side end portion 31x is positioned outside the outer end portion 21b of the leg column 21, the rigidity against a force that increases or decreases the angle formed by the rotation support shaft and the leg column is further increased. The table can be used more stably.
[0051]
Moreover, the structure which flap-operates a top plate is not restricted to the thing of the said embodiment.
[0052]
Further, the method for attaching the curtain is not limited to this embodiment. Furthermore, you may comprise so that a curtain may not be provided.
[0053]
In addition, the specific configuration of each part is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
[0054]
【The invention's effect】
