Description

The present invention relates to a desktop panel and a desk having a desktop panel.

Conventionally, various desktop panels erected on the top plate of a desk have been known (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

This type of desktop panel is configured so that the user who uses the top plate does not see the other side from the one side. For this reason, the conventional desktop panel is entirely composed of an opaque member that can visually block one side and the other side.

Further, the desktop panel is located higher than the top plate in an indoor space (for example, an office space, a space for eating and drinking, a break, etc.) in which a desk is arranged. For this reason, the conventional desktop panel is inevitably easily noticed by the user or the like in various indoor spaces in which the desk is arranged. Therefore, the conventional desktop panel has been one of the factors that can give a cramped impression because it is easily visible in the indoor space where the desk is arranged.

Each wiring insertion hole 13 is rotatably provided with a horizontally long rectangular lid 14 capable of opening and closing the wiring insertion hole 13.

Subsequently, the desktop panel 2 will be described in detail.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the desktop panel 2 is mainly composed of a face plate 21 having an upright posture with respect to the top plates 11 and 12 and having transparency so that one side can be seen through from the other side. Is. The desktop panel 2 is interposed between the space on one top plate 11 and the space on the other top plate 12. The desktop panel 2 plays a role of partitioning the space on one top plate 11 and the space on the other top plate 12. The desktop panel 2 includes a face plate 21 and a frame body 22 provided at the lower end of the face plate 21.

The face plate 21 is a transparent plate having a substantially rectangular shape, that is, a substantially colorless and transparent acrylic plate C on both sides of which a white light-shielding paint P is attached in a predetermined pattern. (For convenience of display, the portion corresponding to the white light-shielding paint P is shown in black in FIGS. 1 and 2.) In this embodiment, the face plate 21 is a colorless and transparent acrylic plate by silk screen printing. It is configured by adhering a white light-shielding paint P on both sides of C in a predetermined pattern. The face plate 21 includes a gradation region s2 set so that the degree of transparency gradually increases from the lower side to the upper side.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the face plate 21 has an opaque region s1 with almost no transparency set in the vicinity of the lower end, a gradation region s2 arranged on the opaque region s1, and a gradation region s2. It is arranged on the above and has a transparent region s3 that is more transparent than the gradation region s2.

In the opaque region s1, by attaching a white light-shielding paint P to the acrylic plate C which is a transparent plate, one side to the other side can visually recognize the desktop panel not only by the user who uses the top plate but also around it. It is configured to be opaque so that it cannot be seen by (the same shall apply hereinafter) including the obtainer. The opaque region s1 is set to an area of approximately one-fourth of the entire face plate 21.

The gradation region s2 is set so that the degree of transparency gradually increases from the lower side to the upper side by attaching a white light-shielding paint P to the acrylic plate C which is a transparent plate. The gradation region s2 is configured so that one side to the other side can be easily visually recognized by a user or the like toward the upper side. The gradation area s2 is set to an area of approximately half of the entire face plate 21. The gradation region s2 is set so that the degree of transparency gradually increases from the lower side to the upper side by the pattern of the light-shielding paint P attached to the acrylic plate C. In this embodiment, the pattern of the light-shielding paint P attached to the face plate 21 is mainly made of a plurality of dots forming a substantially perfect circle. The aspect of the gradation region s2 may be such that one side to the other side is easily visible by the user or the like toward the upper side, and is not limited to the one specifically shown in the drawings.

The transparent region s3 is formed so that the acrylic plate C, which is a transparent plate, is hardly impregnated with the white light-shielding paint P, and the one side to the other side is substantially transparent so that it can be visually recognized by the user or the like. The transparent area s3 is set to an area of approximately one-fourth of the entire face plate 21.

The frame body 22 is attached to the lower end edge of the face plate 21. In this embodiment, the frame body 22 is attached only to the lower end edge of the face plate 21. That is, the frame body 22 is not attached to a portion of the face plate 21 other than the lower end edge, that is, the left and right end edges and the upper end edge of the face plate 21.

The desktop panel 2 described above is attached to the lower surface of one top plate 11 and the lower surface of the other top plate 12 via a bracket B fixed to the frame body 22.

As described above, the desktop panel 2 according to the present embodiment is mainly composed of a face plate 21 which is in an upright posture with respect to the top plates 11 and 12 and has transparency so that one side can be seen through from the other side. It is a thing. Then, the face plate 21 includes a gradation region s2 set so that the degree of transparency gradually increases from the lower side to the upper side. Therefore, in an indoor space such as an office where the top plates 11 and 12 are arranged, it is possible to provide the desktop panel 2 that does not give a cramped impression to the user or the like.

That is, the gradation region s2 provided on the face plate 21 is set so that the degree of transparency gradually increases from the lower side to the upper side. For this reason, the upper part of the desktop panel 2 that is easily noticed by the user or the like in an indoor space such as an office has a large degree of transparency set, which makes it visually inconspicuous to the user or the like. There is. As a result, the desktop panel 2 can preferably suppress the user or the like from giving a cramped impression in an indoor space such as an office due to its existence. In other words, in the case of the desktop panel 2, the indoor space on the top plates 11 and 12 can be suitably partitioned by the presence of the face plate 21. Not only that, since the desktop panel 2 has the face plate 21 having the gradation area s2, the passage of the line of sight by the user or the like is allowed toward the upper side, and the desk A is arranged. The feeling of blockage that the user or the like can feel in the indoor space can be suitably suppressed.

Moreover, in the case of the desktop panel 2 in the present embodiment, since the lower portion thereof has a low degree of transparency, the face plate 21 is provided to the users of the top plates 11 and 12 by other users and the like. It is difficult to give anxiety that the hand can be visually recognized through the screen.

The face plate 21 is arranged on the opaque region s1 having almost no transparency set in the vicinity of the lower end, the gradation region s2 arranged on the opaque region s1, and the gradation region s2, and the gradation region. It has a transparent region s3 that is more transparent than s2. For this reason, the portion near the lower end of the face plate 21 corresponding to the user's hand portion is not only difficult to be visually recognized by other users and the like on the opposite side of the face plate 21, but also is a user in an indoor space such as an office. The upper part of the desktop panel 2, which is easily noticeable, is visually inconspicuous to the user or the like. The gradation region s2 interposed between the opaque region s1 and the transparent region s3 visually smoothly connects the opaque region s1 and the transparent region s3, thus giving a suitable appearance. It is preferable that the parts such as the chest, neck, and face located above the hand are clearly visible to the users of the top plates 11 and 12 via the face plate 21 from other users. It can be suppressed.

The desktop panel 2 includes a face plate 21 and a frame body 22 provided only at the lower end of the face plate 21. Therefore, it can be suitably attached to the desk body 1 by using the frame body 22 having excellent strength, and the side edge and the upper end edge which are easily visible to the user and the like on the face plate 21 are neat. It is possible to compose the impression.

The face plate 21 is formed by adhering a light-shielding paint P on both sides of a substantially colorless and transparent acrylic plate C, which is a transparent plate, in a predetermined pattern. Therefore, it contributes to the overall weight reduction of the desktop panel 2. Therefore, it will be stable after mounting and will be convenient during mounting work.

The light-shielding paint P is white. Therefore, in the place where it is installed, the required degree of transparency can be set and a bright impression can be given to the indoor space.

The desk A forms the pair in the desk main body 1 with the desk main body 1 including the support J having the legs j1 and the paired top plates 11 and 12 supported by the support J1 and arranged facing each other. It is provided with a desktop panel 2 erected between the top plates 11 and 12. Therefore, while the top plates 11 and 12 are paired, the user who uses the other top plates 11 and 12 can perform various operations and the like without worrying about the user on the opposite side, and the desk A. It is possible to preferably suppress the impression that the interior space in which the above is arranged is cramped due to the presence of the desktop panel 2.

The present invention is not limited to the embodiments described in detail above.

"Transparency" is a concept that includes not only colorless transparency in a narrow sense but also colored transparency. In other words, the transparent plate may be colored transparent as well as colorless and transparent.

It goes without saying that the indoor space in which the desk is arranged is not limited to the office or the like.

The degree of transparency in the desktop panel can be set by various methods. The degree of transparency in the desktop panel may be set, for example, by forming the outer surface shape of the face plate into irregularities that can cause diffused reflection of light.

The pattern by the light-shielding paint on the face plate can be set in various modes, and is not limited to the one shown in the above-described embodiment.

Here, what is shown in FIGS. 4 to 7 exemplifies another embodiment of the desktop panel 2. In FIGS. 4 and 5, the pattern of the face plate 21 by the light-shielding paint P is mainly formed by a plurality of horizontal lines. In the ones shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the pattern of the face plate 21 by the light-shielding paint P is mainly formed of a plurality of dots. In FIGS. 4 to 7, the same or corresponding configurations as those in the above-described embodiment are designated by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted.

In the examples shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the pattern of the face plate 21 by the light-shielding paint P is formed by arranging a plurality of horizontal lines having different thicknesses in the vertical direction so that the upper side is thinner than the lower side.

In the example shown in FIG. 6, the pattern by the light-shielding paint P attached to the face plate 21 is mainly composed of a plurality of dots forming a substantially square shape in which the upper and lower two sides are formed substantially horizontally and the left and right sides are formed substantially vertically. It is made.

In the example shown in FIG. 7, the pattern by the light-shielding paint P attached to the face plate 21 is mainly made of a plurality of dots forming a substantially square shape in which all four sides are tilted with respect to the horizontal. is there.

Even in such a case, the gradation region s2 in which the degree of transparency is set to gradually increase from the lower side to the upper side can be suitably formed, and the intended purpose is achieved. It is something to gain.

It goes without saying that various colors can be appropriately adopted as the color of the light-shielding paint on the face plate. For example, a black type may be applied as the light-shielding paint.

Needless to say, the ratio of the transparent region provided in the upper part of the face plate, the gradation area provided in the middle part of the face plate, and the opaque region provided in the lower part of the face plate can be appropriately set.

The face plate may be provided with only a gradation area and not a transparent area or an opaque area.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the light-shielding paint is attached to the transparent plate by silk screen printing, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the light-shielding paint may be attached to the transparent plate by inkjet printing.

The desk is not limited to the one shown in the above-described embodiment. For example, the desk is not limited to the one having a pair of top plates. That is, the desk may include a desk body having a single top plate. Further, the desktop panel can be arranged at an appropriate position according to the configuration of the desk body. For example, if the top plate of the desk body has a use edge that can be close to the user and an anti-use edge that is located away from the user, the desktop panel can be used as an anti-use edge on the top plate. It may be erected in the vicinity of the used edge or the anti-used edge.

In addition, the specific configuration of each part is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
