  By the way, in recent offices, a free address system that does not specify a seating person for each desk or table and does not limit the seating position is adopted everywhere for the purpose of improving the mobility of the organization while efficiently using the living space. ing. In such an office, when using a long desk or adding a number of top panels, a side panel that partitions the work area is often attached. Since the side panel can only be attached to the unit, even if a free address system that does not specify the seat is adopted, it cannot be effective.

  On the other hand, it is conceivable to provide a groove on the upper surface of the main panel and attach the side panel using this groove so that the position of the side panel can be changed in the direction of increasing the top plate. In this case, the structure of the main panel is complicated and the cost is increased, and above all, it is difficult to cope with the existing main panel without processing.

  The present invention has been made paying attention to such a problem, and when the side panel and the auxiliary panel including the side panel are attached to the main panel, the attachment position can be freely set without requiring any processing on the main panel itself. It is an object of the present invention to provide a new and useful panel mounting apparatus that can be changed to the above.

  In order to achieve this object, the present invention takes the following measures.

That is, in the panel connection structure of the present invention, the end portion of the auxiliary panel is abutted against the panel surface of the main panel, and the pressure receiving portion and the main panel are disposed between the pressure receiving portion set at at least two positions of the auxiliary panel and the corresponding portion of the main panel. A first tightening mechanism that is detachably engaged, and the first tightening mechanism tightens the end of the auxiliary panel against the panel surface of the main panel, and the end of the auxiliary panel. The pressure is received between the pressure receiving portion set at the portion of the auxiliary panel that is displaced from the pressure receiving portion to the opposite side of the main panel, and the corresponding portion of the base panel. disposing a second fastening mechanism the parts and basic panels fit removably relates, frettage the orthogonal end by the second clamping mechanism in a direction to press the panel surface of said base panel Configured to,
The main panel is a desktop panel, the auxiliary panel is a side panel, the base panel is a top plate, and the first tightening mechanism is put on the upper edge side and the lower edge side of the main panel, and the second tightening mechanism Is characterized in that it is covered with a small edge on the front edge side of the top plate .

In this way, even the main panel that does not have a mounting structure can be assisted by abutting the auxiliary panel and tightening the tightening mechanism detachably in relation to the pressure receiving part set on the auxiliary panel and the main panel. The panels can be effectively connected, and if the auxiliary panel is removed, it can be properly restored to the main panel having no connection structure. At the same time, the auxiliary panel can be fixed to the base panel having no mounting structure so as to be restored by using the pressure receiving portion and the tightening mechanism. Therefore, even if it is a retrofitted structure in which the main panel and the base panel are not processed in this way, the auxiliary panel can be prevented from wobbling and a reliable mounting state can be ensured. And it becomes possible to attach an auxiliary panel to a free position only by selecting the position where a tightening mechanism is engaged. Furthermore, since it is not necessary to process the desktop panel or the top plate, the cost is not increased, the appearance is not easily damaged, and the pressure receiving portion attached to the adjacent side panel 6 can be simultaneously held. Both pressure-receiving surfaces can be fastened to the desktop panel with the tightening mechanism.

In order to effectively avoid the mounting position between the front and back tightening mechanisms when the side panel is abutted against the desktop panel from the front and back sides, the pressure receiving portions of the pair of side panels respectively arranged on the front and back sides It is desirable that the tightening mechanism is detachably engaged with the desktop panel so that the end portions of both side panels can be co-tightened in the direction of simultaneously pressing the front and back panel surfaces of the desktop panel.

In order to be able to attach and detach without disassembling the table, etc., and to be able to easily cope with changes in the mounting position, the lower edge of the desktop panel is placed higher than the top panel, and the side panel When mounting, the first tightening mechanism can be attached / detached through the gap between the top plate and the lower edge of the desktop panel, or the pair of top plates are opposed to each other with a gap formed between the counter-use edges. The state where the lower edge of the desktop panel is opened to the lower limb space side of the top plate through the gap, and the first tightening mechanism can be attached and detached through the gap when the side panel is attached. It is desirable to be realized on a table or the like.

In order to appropriately correspond to the mounting position of the second tightening mechanism in accordance with the mounting position of the first tightening mechanism, the leg structure supporting the top plate connects the adjacent legs with a beam. It is desirable that the table or the like be realized such that the beam is displaced from the use edge from the center in the depth direction and the second fastening mechanism can be attached to the lower surface near the use edge.

In order to simplify the structure and operation of the tightening mechanism, the pressure receiving part is a pressure receiving piece taken out from the panel surface of the side panel in the orthogonal direction, and the tightening mechanism attaches a base material having a pair of opposing walls. It is preferable that the panel is covered from the small edge side so as to be embraced with the pressure receiving portion, and a screw is screwed from one side of the base material so that the tip is pressed against the pressure receiving portion.

In this case, in order to obtain a reliable tightening force, it is effective to provide a taper hole for attracting and engaging the tip of the screw at a predetermined position of the pressure receiving piece.

In order to simply configure the pressure receiving portion, it is preferable to use a post-attached pressure receiving tool in which the base end piece is screwed to the auxiliary panel and the pressure receiving piece is vertically taken out from the auxiliary panel surface.

In this case, in order to ensure the effectiveness of the connection structure, insert nuts are embedded in the thickness of the auxiliary panel with both ends opened, and the pressure receiving tool is fastened using screws to the insert nuts. Then, tighten the retaining bolt from the opposite side until the flange part of the insert nut hits the panel surface, and sandwich the auxiliary panel in the thickness direction between the flange part and the head of the retaining bolt, and then insert It is desirable to fix the screw to the nut.

Since the present invention has the configuration described above, there is no need to process the main panel or the base panel itself when attaching the auxiliary panel such as the side panel to the main panel such as the main panel and the base panel such as the top panel. Thus, it is possible to provide a new and useful panel mounting structure that can be easily attached and detached and the mounting position can be freely changed.

Further, the pair of top plates 4, 4 are arranged to face each other with a gap S formed between the counter-use edges 4 b, 4 b, and the lower edge 5 b of the desktop panel 5 is placed on the lower limb space side through the gap S. Since the first tightening mechanism 7a can be attached / detached through the clearance S, the attachment / detachment operation can be performed without disassembling the table, and the mounting position can be easily changed. It can correspond to.

Further, the leg structure A that supports the top plate 4 is formed by connecting the adjacent legs 1 and 1 (or between 1 and 2) with the beam 3, and the beam 3 extends from the use edge 4 a of the top plate 4. Since the second tightening mechanism 8b can be attached to the lower surface in the vicinity of the use edge 4a and is displaced from the center in the depth direction, the second tightening mechanism corresponding to the mounting position of the first tightening mechanism 8a. 8b can be attached appropriately, and thereby the effect of the flexible attachment function of the side panel 6 can be achieved.

Specifically, the pressure receiving portion 7a (7b) is a member that takes out the pressure receiving piece 71b (72b) in the orthogonal direction from the panel surface 6x of the side panel 6, and the tightening mechanism 8a (8b) includes a pair of opposing walls 81a ( 82a) is covered with the panel 5 (4) together with the pressure receiving portion 7a (7b) from the small edge side to the desktop panel 5 (top plate 4) which is a panel to which the base plate 81a is attached. Since the clamp structure is such that the screw v1 (v2) is screwed from one side of the base material 81 (82) and the tip is pressed against the pressure receiving portion 7a (7b), the structure of the tightening mechanism 8a (8b) and the desktop The attachment and detachment work with respect to the panel 5 (top plate 4) becomes very simple, and a strong tightening force can be introduced.

On the other hand, the pressure receiving portion 7 a (7 b) is a post-attached pressure receiving tool 71 that screws the base end piece 71 a (72 a) to the side panel 6 and takes the pressure receiving piece 71 b (72 b) vertically from the panel surface 6 x of the side panel 6. The side panel 6 will be drilled, but the side panel 6 will be removed when not in use, so there is no problem with restoration such as the desktop panel 5 etc. Therefore, the pressure receiving portion 7a (7b) can be easily formed on the side panel 6 and the existing side panel 6 can be used effectively.

Then, the insert nut 61 is embedded in the thickness of the side panel 6 with both ends opened, and when the pressure receiving tool 71 is fastened to the insert nut 61 using the screw 71a, the flange portion 61a of the insert nut 61 is attached to the panel. The retaining bolt 61b is tightened from the opposite side until it hits the surface, and the side panel 6 is sandwiched between the flange 61a and the head 61b1 of the retaining bolt 61b in the thickness direction. Since the insertion nut 61 is prohibited from being removed from the side panel 6 by the flange 61a and the retaining bolt 61b, even if a force in the panel thickness direction is applied to the side panel 6, That the insert nut 61 is loosened or detached from the side panel 6. Ide, it is possible to the connecting structure to what is effective.
