Description

  The present invention relates to a connecting desk provided with a large top plate formed in a size that can be used by a plurality of people sitting at the same time.

  Conventionally, desks having a size and a planar form that can be used simultaneously by a plurality of people (hereinafter also referred to as multi-person desks or connected desks) have been proposed in many ways, including Patent Documents 1-3. Actual products are also provided on the market and are publicly known.

Conventional multi-person desks mainly consist of a combination of multiple top plates that have the same size and flat form as the top plate of a single-size desk for normal use, mainly due to restrictions in manufacturing the top plate. Most of the things. Connecting the top plate which is connected by face-to-face a rectangular top plate in the longitudinal direction in particular a plurality of (this is called duplex connection), and ligated in the longitudinal direction of the connecting top plate (also referred to as a connection in the left-right direction) Of the embodiment.

  When a wide joint top is formed by combining multiple double-sided connection top plates, it is necessary to ensure the strength of the top plate, especially the strength against vertical loads. There is known a type of connecting machine in which a beam structure having the above function is formed by a member having a function of a wiring duct or the like at a central portion of a lower surface in a length direction of a combined double-sided connecting top plate.

  The basic structure of the connecting desk made up of the double-sided connection top plate according to the above-mentioned connection form and the beam-like structure having a wiring duct function penetrating the center of the lower surface of the combined double-sided connection top plate is Panel-shaped legs and gate-shaped columnar legs connected to the connecting top plate and the beam-like structure penetrating therethrough are provided at both ends, and a vertical load is supported at an intermediate portion of the beam-like structure. It has a basic form with an intermediate leg.

  However, the multi-person connecting desk having the above basic form is actually laid out because the double-sided connecting top plates joined together are rectangular in shape in plan view, that is, a large rectangular shape. From the viewpoint of usability and layout space, it was found that there are problems to be improved due to this planar shape of the top board.

  In other words, if the number of people using a multi-person desk is less than the number of combined double-sided connected top plates, the combined top plate space will be wasted, and this combined double-sided connected top plate If there is a problem with space, uneven shape or deformation of the room as seen from the plane, or there is a pillar in the place where you want to place this desk, the position of the desk you have will be It turns out that some may get in the way.

  Incidentally, a known multi-person desk is not formed to cope with the above-mentioned problem, and copes by reducing the number of joined top plates in the length direction of the joined top plates at most. Then, there was only a method to adjust the length of the entire connecting desk of the double-sided connecting top plate.

The connection desk of FIG. 7 (C) has the same shape as the connection desk of FIG. 7 (C) even if a connection desk element is connected between a pair of left and right connection desk elements. In the present invention, in the connection pattern illustrated in FIG. 7, it is possible to take a connection pattern for further connecting a connecting machine element or a set of connecting machine elements on the left and right sides or one side thereof, Is optional. In addition, it is possible to form a connection desk having a connection pattern only of connection desk elements or a connection pattern of only a set of connection desk elements.

In the connection desk of the present invention as illustrated in FIGS. 7A to 7C, there is only one hanging member 3 at a portion where one of the connection desk elements is joined alone . For this reason, the two suspended members 3 are opposed to each other like a set of connecting machine elements in which the two suspended members 3 and 3 are opposed to each other below the gap G between the two opposed top plates 1 and 1. A wiring duct is not formed. Therefore, in the present invention, in the case of a single hanging member 3 having a single connecting element, a duct forming curtain plate member 31 is installed on the front side of the hanging member 3 so that the curtain plate member 31 and the hanging member 3 are suspended. A duct for wiring is formed by the member 3 (see FIGS . 1 and 7 ). Thus, a gap G ′ is formed between the front end of the top plate 1 and the upper end of the curtain plate member 31, so that the wiring tray can be locked to the locking portion 3 d on the front surface of the hanging member 3.

Further, the connecting member 42 is installed and fixed, and the intermediate support 2 and the leg 5 are coupled. In this case, the connecting member 42 is shorter than the connecting member 4 that joins the columns 22 of the two intermediate supports 2 to each other, for example, has a length of about ½.
In the present invention, there is also a configuration in which the leg 5 (6) can be coupled to the column 2 of the intermediate support 2 using the connecting member 4 that couples the intermediate supports 2 and 2 together. That is, when two intermediate supports 2 are coupled to each other, one intermediate support 2 is removed from this coupled state, and the connecting members 4 coupled to the remaining intermediate support 2 are connected to panel-like legs. The side ends of the body 5 (6) are joined (see FIG. 7) .
By adopting the above-described coupling mode between the intermediate support 2 and the leg 5 (6) , one coupling desk element is removed from the coupling desk that is composed of only a pair of coupling machines with double-side coupling. The leg 5 (6) instead of the intermediate support 2 which is removed together with the connecting desk element to be removed is opposed to support the end of the top board which is the outer end of the connecting desk. The intermediate support 2 remaining on the side to be connected and the connecting member 4 can be combined and assembled (see FIG. 7) . In the case where the panel-like leg 5 (6) is connected to the intermediate support 2 later, as described above, the connecting mode using the connecting member 42 that is approximately ½ length of the connecting member 4. There is also.

The present invention, as described above, comprising an arm and the bar, which forms a rectangular top plate of a desk for one person, a side view substantially inverted L shape that is coupled to either side of the lateral direction side of the top plate The intermediate support and a curtain plate-like hanging member that is attached to and supported by the support or the top plate are used as connecting machine elements, and two of the connecting machine elements are viewed from the side. A space is formed between the top plates facing each other in a symmetrical relationship, and the above-mentioned intermediate supports and the hanging members facing each other are joined together via a connecting material to form a set of connecting machine elements. the plate can form a connection desk due to the coupling desk element and the top plate of one combines a set of coupling desk elements of two coupled double-sided.

In addition, since the connecting desk element and the connecting body of the connecting desk element set are combined with the connecting body of the connecting desk element, the basic structure of the connecting desk according to the present invention is provided by the leg body coupled to the end portion where the intermediate support of each top plate is not provided. can take the irregular pattern as the planar pattern of the top plate is illustrated in Figure 7 is not just square shape arbitrarily and easily by connecting a combination of the elements of the set and connecting the desk of the coupling desk element appropriately Therefore, it is possible to easily form a connecting table with a connecting pattern that avoids obstacles such as a planar shape and pillars at the place where the connecting desk is installed, and a connecting desk with the number of top plates that matches the number of people using the connecting desk. it can.

  That is, according to the present invention, since the number of top plates to be connected and the connection pattern can be arbitrarily selected as described above, not only the connection table of the top plate connection mode according to the number of users, but also the installation location. Even when there is something that obstructs the arrangement of desks such as pillars or the like, it is possible to easily adopt a connection aspect along the irregular plane or a connection aspect avoiding the pillars.

Since the present invention is as described above, the present invention is extremely useful as a desk provided with a connecting top plate connected in an irregular shape in a connecting desk of the type formed by connecting a plurality of top plates having the same shape.
In particular, the connecting machine according to the present invention is connected in the middle of using as a connecting machine that a plurality of sets of connecting machine elements connected in a face-to-face (butting) manner are connected in the length direction of the top board. A connection form in which one top plate is pulled out from the desk (one connection desk element is removed) can be easily formed, so the connection form corresponding to deformation of the installation location or reduction in the number of users is easy. It can be realized and is convenient for use.
