It is provided with a main slider 133 that is housed in the curtain plate portion 10 and that can be moved by being pressed by the sub curtain plate portion 11, and sub-sliders 135 and 137 that are movably housed in the sub curtain plate portion 11. A main slider 133 and sub-sliders 135 and 137 are fixed to the movable end portion 5, respectively. Since the brackets 147 and 149 and the main bracket 145 for attaching the connection end side of the main curtain plate portion 10 via the main slider 133 are provided, the support main body 4 and the movable end portion 5 can be combined with a simple configuration. It is possible to realize a configuration in which the sub curtain plate portion 11 is slid with respect to the main curtain plate portion 10 by following the change in the relative position of .

In addition, by changing the positions of the sub panel 11 and the main slider 133 with respect to the main panel 10, the dimension of the panel 3 in the furniture width direction can be changed according to the furniture width change range by the intermittent attachment mechanism 8. In addition, by changing the positions of the sub sliders 135 and 137 with respect to the sub curtain plate portion 11, the mounting position of the sub curtain plate portion 11 to the movable end portion 5 can be adjusted to the furniture width adjustment range by the stepless mounting mechanism 9. Since it is configured so that it can be changed, the stepless adjustment mechanism 9 is used while the furniture width W and the width dimension of the curtain board 3 are rapidly adjusted roughly by using the intermittent attachment mechanism 8. Then, after the adjustment by the intermittent mounting mechanism 8 is completed, the furniture width W can be precisely changed and the furniture can be arranged between the pillars without gaps.

Since the adjustment width corresponding to one pitch P by the intermittent attachment mechanism 8 is covered by the stepless adjustment mechanism 9, the furniture width W can be changed continuously and steplessly over a large range.

In addition, this invention is not limited to embodiment described above.

For example, in the above-described embodiment, the present invention is applied to a counter, which is a piece of furniture placed between architectural pillars near windows. Of course, the present invention may be applied to various types of furniture arranged in impossible spaces.

Further, furniture functional elements are not limited to the top plate, and various items such as a shelf and a curtain plate are conceivable.

Furthermore, if the curtain plate is configured to be stretchable in the width direction of the furniture, the main curtain plate portion provided on the support body side as in the above-described embodiment and the main curtain plate portion can be slidable. A configuration other than the provision of the sub curtain plate portion provided on the movable end portion side in an engaged state may be adopted.

With the dimensions of the support and the top plate adjusted in the width direction of the furniture, instead of providing a curtain plate mounting mechanism for fixing the curtain plate to the support, a mode of fixing the curtain plate to the top plate may be adopted. .

On the other hand, the configuration of the curtain plate mounting mechanism also includes a main slider that is housed in the main curtain plate portion and that can be moved by being pressed by the sub-curtain plate portion as in the above-described embodiment, and a main slider that can be moved into the sub-curtain plate portion. It is also possible to adopt a structure other than the structure in which the main slider and the sub-slider are each fixed to the movable end portion.

In addition, as long as the structure of the support and the top plate can be expanded and contracted in the width direction of the furniture, any structure such as providing only one of an intermittent attachment mechanism and a stepless attachment mechanism may be adopted. Further, when both the intermittent attachment mechanism and the stepless attachment mechanism are provided, the range of furniture width change by the stepless attachment mechanism is not one pitch but two pitches or more of the furniture width change by the intermittent attachment mechanism. Even if it is set, it is possible to achieve the purpose of continuously and steplessly changing the furniture width over a large range.

Further, the structure of the support is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications are possible. For example, in the above-described embodiment, the intermediate main frame is attached to both intermediate legs by fitting them in the longitudinal direction. You may enable it to attach from a direction. In that case, instead of the upper frame metal fitting projecting from the intermediate leg, a channel-shaped metal fitting into which the end of the intermediate frame can be fitted, for example, from above may be employed. When the intermediate main frame is fitted to both intermediate legs from the longitudinal direction as in the above-described embodiment, after the support is assembled, the entire support is moved between the building columns to be arranged. If the intermediate main frame can be attached to both intermediate legs from the vertical direction, for example, the structural part on the left side of the left intermediate leg can be abutted against one of the building columns, and the right intermediate leg can be constructed. It is also possible to adopt a method in which the structural part on the right side of the building is constructed by abutting it against the other building pillar, and then an intermediate main frame is erected between the intermediate legs to assemble the whole. In this way, a long counter or the like having three or more intermediate legs can be easily assembled.

In addition, various modifications may be made without departing from the gist of the present invention.
