Description

The present invention relates to a fixture with a top plate having a top plate whose upper surface forms an office work surface.

In offices, public facilities, medical facilities, research facilities, and other office spaces, furniture with a top plate, such as a desk device, is often used in order to carry out work efficiently.

In addition, in a work environment where many books, materials, equipment, etc. are used for work in educational facilities, medical facilities, research facilities, etc., books, materials, equipment, etc. can be placed and stored in the work space. A rack device and a fixture with a top plate such as a desk device may be installed together (see, for example, Patent Documents 1-4).

However, in this case, since it is necessary to install two fixtures, a fixture with a top plate and a rack device, in the office space, the total fixture installation cost tends to rise. Further, in this case, since the rack device is often installed away from the furniture with a top plate on which the work is actually performed, there is room for improvement in terms of work efficiency.

In view of these problems, a fixture with a top plate in which a top plate forming an office work surface is provided in a rack device has been devised (see, for example, Patent Documents 5 and 6).
The fixtures with a top plate described in Patent Documents 5 and 6 have a pair of supports standing on the floor surface separated from each other on the left and right, an article storage shelf, and a top plate whose upper surface forms an office work surface. It is erected. Further, in these fixtures with a top plate, when the extension length of the top plate in the front-rear direction is long, the support legs are fixed to the lower surface of the extension portion of the top plate extending forward from the support, and the ceiling The board is supported by a pair of supports and support legs.

In the fixtures with a top plate described in Patent Documents 5 and 6, since the top plate and the article storage shelf are provided in one fixture, the fixture installation cost can be suppressed and the working efficiency can be improved. Since the side portion on the upper surface side of the board is open to the outside, it is not possible to provide the worker with an environment in which it is easy to concentrate on the work.
In particular, when the left and right supports of the fixture with the top plate are configured by connecting a pair of columns arranged apart from each other in the front and rear by a plurality of connecting members, the front and rear are arranged on the left and right sides of the top plate. An opening is created between the columns of the top plate, and the side portion on the upper surface side of the top plate is opened to the outside through the opening. For this reason, it is easy for the worker to see the side view through the opening between the columns.

Therefore, the present invention is intended to provide a fixture with a top plate that can suppress the fixture installation cost and improve the work efficiency, and can provide the worker with an environment in which he / she can easily concentrate on the work. ..

The fixture with a top plate according to the present invention adopts the following configuration in order to solve the above problems.
That is, the fixture with a top plate according to the present invention includes a pair of supports erected on the floor surface apart from each other on the left and right, an article storage shelf erected on the pair of the supports, and a pair of the supports. It is provided with a top plate erected on the body and the upper surface of which forms an office work surface, and the support is provided with a pair of columns arranged apart from each other in the front-rear direction and a plurality of connecting members for connecting the pair of columns to each other. And a closing plate that closes between the pair of columns at least above the upper surface of the top plate, and the front edge portion of the top plate is in front of the front end portion of the support. A front shielding plate that protrudes and closes the space on the side of the front edge of the top plate is provided on the side of the front edge of the top plate at least at a position above the upper surface of the top plate. The front shielding plate is characterized in that its rear end is coupled to the support and is composed of a flat plate-shaped side panel erected on the floor surface along the front-rear direction. To do.

With the above configuration, the article storage shelf on which the article is placed and the top plate constituting the work surface are erected on a common pair of supports. Therefore, the fixture installation cost can be reduced as compared with the case where the fixtures supporting the top plate and the fixtures supporting the article storage shelves are installed separately, and the top plate and the article storage shelves are close to each other. It is possible to improve the work efficiency of the worker. In addition, since the space between the pair of columns arranged apart from each other in the front and rear of the support is blocked by the closing plate at least at a position above the upper surface of the top plate, the state of the front side of the top plate is the duty. It becomes difficult for the worker who goes to the top plate to concentrate on the work because he / she cannot see the person.

In this case, since the front shielding plate arranged on the side of the front edge of the top plate extends above the upper surface of the top plate, the lateral space of the worker who works toward the top plate is created. It can be blocked by the front shield. Therefore, when this configuration is adopted, the state of the front edge side of the top plate is out of the field of view of the worker, and the worker heading for the top plate can more easily concentrate on the work.

Further, in this case, since the front shielding plate is formed by the side panels that are connected to the support and erected on the floor surface, the front shielding plate is kept in a stable state and has high strength. Can be installed.

The upper end of the side panel may be formed lower than the upper end of the support.
In this case, since a space that is continuous in the front-rear direction along the side panel is secured in front of the upper region of the support, it is difficult for the worker to feel the oppressive feeling due to the side panel, and the side panel Ceiling lighting can be easily taken in through the space above. Therefore, by adopting this configuration, it is possible to provide a more comfortable environment for the worker.

The other fixtures with a top plate according to the present invention include a pair of supports erected on the floor surface at a distance from each other to the left and right, an article storage shelf erected on the pair of the supports, and a pair of the supports. A top plate erected on the body and the upper surface of which forms a working surface is provided, and the support is provided with a pair of columns arranged apart from each other in the front-rear direction and a plurality of connecting members for connecting the pair of columns to each other. And, at least at a position above the upper surface of the top plate, there is a closing plate that closes between the pair of columns, and the pair of supports of the top plate on the rear side of the top plate. A rear shielding plate that covers a predetermined height range from the upper surface is supported , and a daylighting window is formed in the upper region of the rear shielding plate.
In this case, since a predetermined height range from the upper surface of the top plate on the rear side of the top plate is blocked by the rear shielding plate, the state behind the top plate is out of the view of the worker, and the worker heading for the top plate. Makes it easier to concentrate on work.

Further, in this case, external light such as ceiling lighting can be taken into the office space through the daylighting window above the rear shielding plate. Therefore, when this configuration is adopted, the office space can be kept bright.

A translucent member may be attached to the daylighting window.
In this case, since the daylighting window is blocked by the translucent member, it is possible to block the ingress of noise into the office space while allowing the transmission of light from the outside.

According to the present invention, since the article storage shelf and the top plate are provided, it is possible to suppress the fixture installation cost and improve the work efficiency as compared with the case where these are installed individually, and moreover, it is supported. Since the space between the pair of columns arranged apart from each other in the front and back of the body is blocked by the closing plate at least above the upper surface of the top plate, it is possible to provide the worker with an environment in which it is easy to concentrate on the work. it can.
