Description

  The present invention relates to a cabinet that can be used as a set with a desk, and furniture that is a combination of a desk and a cabinet.

  In a desk, it is common to place a sleeve cabinet (wagon) in the space below the desk top plate, but a simple sleeve cabinet has a problem that the accommodation volume is small or does not contribute to an increase in the desk surface at all. .

Therefore, the cabinet is composed of a cabinet body that is long in the front and back and an auxiliary top plate (movable top plate) that is about half the length of this cabinet body, so that about half of the cabinet body protrudes in front of the desk top plate. It arrange | positions and the auxiliary | assistant top plate is supported by the protrusion part of a cabinet main body in the state which comprises the same surface as a table top plate (for example, patent document 1). Moreover, in patent document 1, the side surface of an auxiliary | assistant top plate and the side surface of a tabletop board are made into the same surface by protruding an auxiliary | assistant top plate outside from the side surface of a cabinet main body, Therefore The appearance is good.
JP 2004-105276 A

  Now, when the cabinet body is used in a state where it partially protrudes from the tabletop, the auxiliary tabletop does not always want to be used at the same height as the tabletop. For example, there is a case where it is desired to easily load and drop articles on the table top plate by arranging the auxiliary table top in front of the table top plate and lowering the height from the table top plate. Or in order to make most or the whole of the cabinet main body enter into the lower part of a desk top plate, the height of an auxiliary top plate may have to be made low.

  On the other hand, in Patent Document 1, the height can be finely adjusted by supporting the auxiliary top plate with an adjuster bolt, and this idea has been expanded to change only the height without changing the position of the auxiliary top plate. It is possible to make it possible. However, the height change by the adjuster bolt is troublesome in its rotating operation, and in order to put the whole or most of the cabinet below the desk top plate, the auxiliary top plate should not interfere with the desk legs. There is a problem that the cabinet body has to be greatly shifted inward so as to be away from the desk legs.

  Furthermore, in the case of a desk whose left and right length is longer than a certain length, a plurality of table top plates may be arranged in series and the table top plates may be supported by a common intermediate leg adjacent to the left and right. Although there is a request to arrange a cabinet with an auxiliary top plate at a leg portion, it can be said that Patent Document 1 does not meet such a request.

  The present invention is made to improve such a current situation.

Invention of Claim 1 concerns on the cabinet which can be used for the desk which supports the desk top plate which the front surface and the side surface orthogonally crossed by planar view by the leg in the planar view, and this cabinet is a part of said cabinet A cabinet body having a rectangular shape in plan view that can be arranged so as to enter the lower part of the table top plate and the remaining part is exposed in front of the table top board, and an auxiliary ceiling that can be arranged on the projecting part in the cabinet body. And a board.
The auxiliary top plate has four legs, front, rear, left, and right, while the protruding portion of the cabinet body has two sets of holes into which the feet can be fitted with the left and right positions of the auxiliary top plate changed. When the cabinet body is in close contact with or close to the inner side surface of the leg and the legs are fitted in one set of holes, the auxiliary top plate is the desk. It is set so that one side is substantially flush with the side end surface of the desk top plate while being held at a high position that is flush with the top plate,
In a state where the cabinet body is closely or close to the inner side surface of the leg and the legs are fitted in the other pair of holes, the auxiliary top plate is held at a low position located below the table top plate. And one side is set to be located inside the side end surface of the tabletop,
In addition, the lateral displacement dimension between the one set of holes and the other set of holes is set to be smaller than the lateral width of the leg.

Now, when the left and right dimensions of a desk become larger than a certain level, one or more intermediate legs are arranged between the left and right legs, and the table top plate is supported by the intermediate legs. The invention of claim 2 is applied to a cabinet used for a desk having such an intermediate leg. This cabinet also auxiliary top plate can change the height by changing the position by the support means, as the feature, an auxiliary top plate of the cabinet body by half the lateral width dimension of the desk leg support state to a high position It is set so that it can protrude outside.

The invention of claim 3 is the embodiment of claim 2, wherein the auxiliary top plate has a first high position that protrudes from one side of the cabinet body by a lateral width of the intermediate leg, and the cabinet. There are three positions: a second high position that protrudes from one side of the main body by half of the left-right width dimension T of the intermediate leg, and a low position that protrudes from one side of the cabinet main body by half of the left-right width dimension T of the intermediate leg. It can be selected.
As described in claim 4 , the present invention also includes a combination furniture of a desk and a cabinet described in any of claims 1 to 3 .

  In the present invention, the auxiliary top plate is held at a lower height than the desk top plate while maintaining the appearance at the high position by forming the top surface and the side surface of the table top plate on the same surface at a high position. Therefore, for example, the workability on the tabletop can be improved by lowering the height of the auxiliary tabletop placed in front of the tabletop board, or the auxiliary tabletop can be placed under the tabletop board. It is possible to make it partly enter and reduce the protrusion, which makes it easy to use. And since an auxiliary top plate changes to a high position and a low position by changing a position, since change of height can be performed by one-touch, it is excellent in workability of height change.

In particular, if the dimension at which the auxiliary top plate protrudes from the cabinet body at the high position is set to be the same as the left and right width dimensions of the legs, the side surface of the auxiliary top panel and the desk with the cabinet body applied to the inner side surface of the desk legs Since the side of the top plate is the same surface, there is an advantage that the cabinet can be positioned very easily. Furthermore, the present invention allows the cabinet body to be in close contact with the inner side surface of the desk leg while keeping the auxiliary top plate low, so that the internal space is effectively utilized when the auxiliary top plate is inserted under the desk top plate. This is preferable.

When the top plate is supported by the intermediate leg, it is general that the top plate arranged in series is generally supported by the intermediate leg at the joint, and therefore the line of the contact surface of the left and right table top plates is intermediate. Most of them are located at the middle of the left and right legs. In the configuration of claim 2 , the auxiliary top plate is excellent in aesthetics because it is aligned so as to be flush with the end surface of the desk top plate at a high position. In particular, when the auxiliary top plates are arranged on both the left and right sides of the intermediate leg, the line of the butting surface of the top plate and the line of the butting surface of the table top plate are aligned in the front and back, so that the appearance is particularly good.
According to the invention of claim 3, the two auxiliary top plates on both sides of the intermediate leg are in close contact with each other and in a state in which the height is aligned with the table top plate, while being in close contact with each other than the table top plate. It is possible to select a low height state, so that the usability is further improved.

  Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. 1 to 4 show the first embodiment, and FIG. 5 and subsequent drawings show other embodiments. Hereinafter, description will be made sequentially. In the following explanation, front / rear / left / right words are used. Unless stated otherwise, front / rear / left / right words are used based on a person who uses the desk in a normal posture.

(1). Outline of First Embodiment FIG. 1A is a perspective view of the first embodiment as viewed from the left front side, and FIG. 1B is a partial perspective view of the first embodiment as viewed from the right side. C) is a partial front view. The desk 1 of the present embodiment includes a horizontally long desk top plate 2 in plan view, and legs 3 that support the left and right sides thereof. The legs 3 are formed in a frame shape that opens to the left and right, and the tabletop 2 is supported via spacers 4. The outer surface of the leg 3 and the left and right end surfaces of the tabletop 2 are substantially the same surface.

  The cabinet 5 includes a cabinet body 6 and an auxiliary top plate 7. The cabinet body 6 has an elongated shape in the front and rear direction and is an open system without a door, but a sliding door or a horizontal revolving door can also be provided. A center partition 8 is provided at the front / rear intermediate portion of the cabinet body 6, and the front / rear intermediate portion of the upper plate 9 is supported by the center partition 8.

  A shelf plate 10 is disposed in the cabinet 5 so as to be adjustable in height. As shown in part in FIG. 1C, four casters 11 are attached to the lower surface of the cabinet body 6. Therefore, the cabinet 5 is a wagon type that can be easily moved by pushing and pulling. In addition, what is shown with the code | symbol 12 of FIG. 1 (A) is a general wagon.

  The cabinet body 6 has a considerably lower height than the table top plate 2, and the rear half is placed below the table top plate 2, and the front half is arranged to be an overhanging portion exposed in front of the table top plate 2. Yes. On the other hand, the auxiliary top plate 7 is rectangular in plan view, and the length in the front-rear direction is set to about half of the length in the front-rear direction of the cabinet body 6 (more precisely, slightly larger than half).

  The auxiliary top plate 7 changes its height to a high position that is the same height as the table top plate 2 as shown in FIG. 1 and a low position that is lower than the table top plate 2 as shown in FIG. be able to. The rear half of the cabinet body 6 is in close contact with the inner side surface of the right leg 2 of the desk 1 regardless of the height of the auxiliary top plate 7, and the auxiliary top plate 7 has a right side surface 7a at a high position. 2 is set to be flush with the right side surface 2a. That is, the auxiliary top plate 7 protrudes from the right side surface of the cabinet body 6 to the right outer side by the horizontal width dimension (or thickness) T of the leg 3 at the high position.

  In the present embodiment, the horizontal width of the auxiliary top plate 7 is set to be larger than the horizontal width of the cabinet body 6, and the left side surface 7 b is the same position as the left side surface 6 b of the cabinet body 6 at a high position. It is set so that it protrudes to the left and right sides at the low position. Therefore, the auxiliary top plate 7 is changed to a high position and a low position by changing the left and right positions. This point (the point of the support means) will be described with reference to FIGS.

(2). Structure of Support Means In FIG. 3, (A) is a plan view showing the desk 1 and the auxiliary top plate 7 in phantom lines, and (B) is a schematic plan view of the auxiliary top plate 7, FIG. FIG. 4 is a sectional view taken along line IV-IV in FIG. In the present embodiment, as support means for supporting the auxiliary top plate 7 so that the height can be changed, four legs 14 are provided on the lower surface of the auxiliary top plate 7, and the legs 14 are provided on the front half of the cabinet body 6. Corresponding to this, four high-position holes 15 and four high-position brackets 16 and four low-position holes 17 and four low-position brackets 18 are provided. That is, the foot 14, the holes 15, 17 and the brackets 16 , 18 are the main elements of the support means.

The upper end of the leg 14 have been welded plate 19, the plate 19 is fixed with screws to the auxiliary top plate 7 (not shown). The legs 14 are bolts formed with male threads except for a certain range near the lower end, and adjuster nuts 20 for fine adjustment are screwed into the male threads.

  The holes 15 and 16 are formed by attaching the bush 21 to the upper plate 9 of the cabinet body 6, but may be simply opened in the upper plate 9. On the other hand, the brackets 16 and 18 are formed in an L shape and are welded to a reinforcing plate 22 provided inside the center partition 8 (may be welded to the inner side surface of the center partition 8).

As already mentioned, the auxiliary top plate 7 and the left side 7b at high position located in the same position as the left side surface 6b of the cabinet body 6, therefore, the lateral width dimension of the auxiliary top plate 7, the cabinet body 6 The lateral dimension T of the leg 3 is larger than the horizontal dimension. The low position hole 17 is shifted to the left side of the high position hole 15, but the shift dimension E is smaller than the lateral width dimension T of the leg 3. Therefore, the auxiliary top plate 7 protrudes from the left and right sides of the cabinet body 6 at a low position.

It is also possible to set the left and right width dimension of the auxiliary top plate 7 and the cabinet body 6 in the same dimension. Moreover, in this embodiment, the front-rear length of the auxiliary top plate 7 is slightly larger than the half of the front-rear length of the cabinet body 6, so that the auxiliary top plate 7 is at the high and low positions. In both cases, it protrudes slightly from the front surface of the cabinet body 6, but it may be flush with the front surface of the cabinet body 6.

(3) Summary of the first embodiment In the above configuration, the auxiliary top plate 7 is at the same height as the table top plate 2 in the high position, and the right side surface 7a is flush with the right side surface 2a of the table top plate 2. The appearance is good. In particular, when the auxiliary top plate 7 is at a high position as in this embodiment, the left side surface 7a is aligned with the left side surface 6a of the cabinet body 6 to further improve the aesthetic appearance.

  Moreover, depending on the articles placed on the desk, the auxiliary top board 7 and the table top board 2 may be difficult to handle if, for example, files are arranged with the auxiliary table 7 and the table top board 2 on the same surface. There is a demand for use when a step is generated between them, but in the present invention, such a demand can be accurately met by changing the auxiliary top plate 7 to a low position. And since the auxiliary top plate 7 can change height by one-touch by changing a left-right position, it is excellent in workability | operativity.

Since the cabinet 5 is open on the left side, the frontage direction of the cabinet 5 and the frontage direction of the desk 1 are orthogonal to each other. Accordingly, the posture of the person facing the cabinet 5 and the posture facing the tabletop 2 are shifted by 90 degrees.

  In a desk, there are many cases where the legs are displaced inside the side surface of the table top plate. In this case, the dimension of the auxiliary top plate 7 protruding outside the cabinet body 6 when the auxiliary top plate 7 is at a high position is The distance from the inner side surface of the leg to the side end surface of the tabletop plate (in other words, the sum of the left-right width dimension of the leg and the protruding dimension of the tabletop board) may be set.
