DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a desk (A) provided with a first embodiment of a cover device for a wiring opening according to the present invention. A wiring duct (2) that is open is provided. A plurality (two in this embodiment) of cover members (4) each having a soft part (3) such as rubber at the front edge is attached to the opening of the wiring duct (2).
Cords (not shown) such as OA devices placed on the top plate (1) are wired in the wiring duct (2) by bending the soft part (3) of the cover member (4) upward. .
[0010]
The cover member (4) has a horizontally long rectangular shape that can cover a part of the opening of the wiring duct (2), and is a plate-like hard portion (5) except for the soft portion (3). The whole is integrally formed of synthetic resin.
[0011]
As shown in the plan view of FIG. 2 and the right side view of FIG. 3, short support members (6) slide in the left and right directions near the left and right ends of the lower surface of each cover member (4). It is attached as possible.
[0012]
As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 7, downward pieces (7) and (7) are continuously provided over the entire length in the left-right direction near the front and rear ends of the lower surface of the hard portion (5) of the cover member (4). In addition, guide pieces (7a) and (7a) projecting inwardly in opposition to each other are connected to the upper end portion. The gap between the guide pieces (7a) and the lower surface of the hard part (5) is a guide groove (7b) (7b).
The soft part (3) has a triangular shape with a hollow cross section, and is integrally connected to the front edge of the hard part (5) so as to be flush with the upper surface thereof.
[0013]
A short support piece (8) protruding downward is formed at the rear edge of the hard part (5). This support piece (8) is the rear inner surface of the wiring duct (2), that is, the top plate (1). ) The rear frame member (9) is fitted and supported from above in an upward hook-shaped support portion (10) projecting inwardly at the upper end portion of the front side wall (9a) facing in the vertical direction.
[0014]
An elastic engagement piece (11) that is curved backward in an arc shape is integrally formed at the lower end of the rear downward piece (7).
[0015]
The support member (6) is integrally formed of, for example, a hard synthetic resin. As shown in FIGS. 4 to 6 and 7, the cover member (6) is formed on the front end edge of the flat upper surface plate (12) at the front end edge. A holding piece (12a) that can hold the front guide piece (7a) of the member (4) from above and below is also slid into the guide groove (7b) on the rear side of the cover member (4). Each of the holding pieces (12b) that can be movably fitted protrudes outwardly.
[0016]
An inclined plate (13) into which the lower part of the soft part (3) of the cover member (4) enters is formed in the front half part of the support member (6), and a short support piece (downwardly protruding) is formed at the front end thereof. 14) is formed. As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the support piece (14) is provided in an upward hook-shaped support portion (15) provided at the upper end of the inner surface (2a) on the front side of the wiring duct (2). It is fitted from above.
An elastic engagement piece (16) is formed downwardly slightly inward of the support portion (15).
[0017]
The longitudinal dimension of the support member (6) is slightly smaller than that of the cover member (4), and as shown in FIG. 8, the support part (15a) of the front surface (2a) in the wiring duct (2) is formed. ) Between the front surface of the rear support portion (10) and the rear surface of the hanging piece (17) formed at the rear end of the support member (6) when the support plate (14) of the inclined plate (13) is fitted to In addition, a gap is formed in which the engaging piece (11) of the cover member (4) can be inserted.
[0018]
In order to attach the cover member (4) to the support member (6), first, the cover member (4) is positioned on the side of the support member (6), and immediately below the hard portion (5) of the cover member (4). The front guide piece (7a) between the upper and lower holding pieces (12a) on the front side of the support member (6), and the rear guide groove (7b) on the rear side of the support member (6). in (12b), by fitting from their respective transverse directions simultaneously, thereby slidably engaged with the right and left directions (see FIGS. 2 and 3).
[0019]
With the support members (6) assembled to the lower surfaces of both ends of the cover member (4) in this way, as shown by the arrows in FIG. 7, at the openings of the wiring duct (2) of the top plate (1). When dropped from above, as shown in FIG. 8, the engagement piece (11) at the rear end of the cover member (4) is elastically engaged with the lower end edge of the support (10) on the rear side, The engagement piece (16) at the rear end portion of the support member (6) is elastically engaged with the lower end edge of the support portion (15) on the front portion side, so that it is prevented from coming off upward and attached. .
[0020]
Even after the cover member (4) is fixed to the opening of the wiring duct (2), the cords can be drawn into the wiring duct (2) through the soft part (3). At this time, when the support member (6) is at a position that prevents the cords from being inserted due to the placement position of the OA device or the like, the support member (6) may be moved in the left-right direction to a position that does not hinder.
[0021]
In the first embodiment described above, the cover member (4) is fastened so that the soft part (3) is in front, but the cover member (4) and the support member (6) Can be fixed so that the soft part (3) is located on the rear side.
[0022]
9 and 10 show a second embodiment of the present invention.
In the second embodiment, the front edge portion of the first embodiment is also formed on the rear edge portion and the lower surface of the rear end portion of the hard member (5), which is slightly shorter in the longitudinal direction in the cover member (4). A similar soft part (3) and a downward piece (7) having a guide piece (7a) are connected symmetrically in the longitudinal direction.
[0023]
In addition, an inclined plate (13) and a support piece (14) extending rearward in the same manner as in the first embodiment are also formed on the rear edge portion of the top plate (12) having a slightly smaller front-rear dimension in the support member (6). ), The elastic engagement piece (16), and the upper and lower holding pieces (12a) are connected symmetrically in the front-rear direction.
[0024]
To attach the cover member (4) of this embodiment to the support member (6), the front and rear guide pieces (7a) are fitted from the side between the front and rear holding pieces (12a) of the support member (6). It suffices to slidably attach each other in the left-right direction.
[0025]
Next, as shown in FIG. 10, the front and rear engagement pieces (16) of the support member (6) are connected to the front and rear support portions (10) and (15) formed on the inner surface of the opening of the wiring duct (2). By elastically engaging the lower end edge, the cover member (4) and the support member (6) are prevented from coming off upward and attached to the opening of the wiring duct (2).
[0026]
【The invention's effect】
According to the first aspect of the invention, since the support member is engaged with the lower surface of the cover member so as to be movable in the left-right direction, the top plate can be moved by moving the support member to a position that does not interfere with the wiring of the cords. An OA device or the like placed on the top can be arranged at a position most suitable for the user. Therefore, optimal wiring processing can be performed according to the type of the OA device and the like, the aesthetics of the devices on the desk are good, and the operability of the devices is improved for the user.
[0027]
According to the second aspect of the present invention, since the soft portions are provided both before and after the hard portion of the cover member, it is possible to perform more optimal wiring processing using either one of them.
[0028]
According to the third aspect of the invention, the horizontally long cover member can be stably attached.
[0029]
According to the fourth aspect of the present invention, the cover member and the support member can be securely attached to the wiring opening portion of the top plate without being rattled.
