Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention is applied to a so-called "cabinet" in which information storage files such as document files, floppy disks, and optical disks are stored side by side in a drawer. This relates to filing fixtures.

[Prior Art] A filing fixture called a "cabinet" is
Information storage files containing information, such as document files, floppy disks, and optical disks, are stored side by side in a drawer. The object placed next to the office desk has a total height of about 74 cm, which is approximately the same height as the top of a normal office desk. Considering that the top surface can be used as an extension of the desk surface so that it is convenient to perform many types of desk work at the same time, documents, types, calculators, information processing equipment, etc. placed on the desk can be placed on top of the filing fixtures. This is so that it can be placed. Some have a car attached to the bottom to make it easier to pull them towards you or move them away.

[Problem to be solved by the invention] As shown in Figure 11, when the top surface of a filing fixture placed next to an office desk is used for desk work as an extension of the desk surface, the Because it is located diagonally in front of people, it is too far away for writing or typing work, making it impossible to avoid an awkward posture. Unlike an office desk, you can't put your feet under it, so your knees get stuck and you can't get too close to it.As a result, when you work at a desk, your working posture is distorted and your back is bent. , it's tiring because you have to stretch your hands all the way out in front of you.Also, even if you just put down the material for reference,
It's so far away that it's hard to read small print.

-In jobs that use information processing devices such as convenience stores and word processors, it is common for writing tasks to be carried out at the same time, but if the information processing device is placed on the office desk, It is difficult to write on the filing fixture because the space is blocked by it, and it is difficult for the above-mentioned reasons. The equipment must be moved to the side, which is inefficient.

When using a filing fixture placed next to an office desk and having a total height approximately equal to that of the office desk, the desk work surface is sufficiently close to the user sitting in front of the office desk for writing, typing, and information. The purpose is to provide a filing fixture that does not cause inconvenience in all types of desk work, including operating processing equipment, and allows the user to work in a stable posture without getting tired by being able to put his/her feet under the desk work surface without having to stretch his/her hands too much. It is said that

[Means for solving the problem] In order to achieve the above object, the filing fixture of the present invention has a drawer in which information storage files are stored side by side and standing upright, and the total height is equal to the desk surface of an office desk. This is a nearly identical filing fixture with a pull-out workbench at the top.

In addition, for the reasons described below, the pull-out workbench is designed to have a space between it and the ceiling of the filing fixture when it is pushed into the filing fixture and storing a thin object. It is convenient to keep it.

Furthermore, in order to achieve the effects described later, the pull-out workbench and its pull-out mechanism may be configured to be detachable from the filing fixture body.

[Function] When the filing fixture configured as described above is placed next to an office desk and a user sitting in front of the office desk pulls out the pull-out workbench, it will be located exactly to the side as seen from the user. Therefore, the user can simply turn to the side and the pull-out workbench will be located right in front of him, very close to him, and he can put his feet under it, so he won't have to rest on his knees or get into a hunched position. You can do all kinds of desk work such as writing, typing, and operating information processing equipment in a stable posture without having to stretch your hands too far forward, so you don't get tired, and even if you put reference materials nearby, it's easy to see.

Also, when the pull-out workbench is pushed into the filing fixture and stored away, if the structure is such that there is enough space to place a thin object between it and the ceiling of the filing fixture, it will be possible to pull it out. If you have to leave your seat for an urgent matter while you are working, instead of cleaning up the work you are currently working on, push the pull-out workbench into the main body of the filing fixture and then take your seat. Since you can leave your seat, you don't have to worry about cleaning it up, and you don't get in the way of other passersby. Therefore, it is suitable for jobs where you have to refer to a lot of documents and frequently move away from your seat.

If you create a space where you can place thin objects with a size that allows you to fold up the laptop-type information processing device and put it away, you can put the laptop-type information processing device away while it is on the pull-out workbench, and you can pull it out and put it away as it is. Able to operate type information processing equipment immediately. It's more stable than operating it on your lap, and unlike when you put it on the top of an office desk, you don't have to worry about blocking the desk top and having trouble writing.

In addition, by making the large drawer workbench and its drawer mechanism part removable from the main body of the filing fixture, you can have a large drawer workbench in a convenient form that suits your daily work content when it changes. It is convenient because it can be replaced with Additionally, for those who already have a conventional filing fixture without a large drawer workbench and would like to replace it with the filing fixture of the present invention, the filing fixture of the present invention can be used simply by adding a large drawer workbench and its drawer mechanism. So you can configure
This has the advantage of saving money compared to replacing the whole thing.

The workbench is right next to the user and at the perfect height for desk work, so all the user has to do is turn to the side and the second drawer workbench is right in front of and close to the user. Creates a space where you can put your feet. Therefore, ■On top of that, writing work, typing, operating information processing equipment, etc.
No matter what kind of desk work you do, your knees won't get stiff and your posture won't be strained, and you can work in a stable posture without stretching your hands too far forward, so you won't get tired.

■If you place reference materials nearby, they are easy to see.

■It has the same effect as enlarging the surface of your office desk around you, and when you refer to a lot of materials at once,
It is convenient for doing many types of work at the same time, such as typing, writing, and operating a computer. For jobs where writing is the main activity, the height of the pull-out workbench can be adjusted so that it is completely flush with the top surface of the filing fixture, as shown in the example shown in Figure 8. Your posture should become natural. Similar effects can be obtained even if the pull-out workbench is exposed to the outside and doubles as the ceiling of the filing fixture body, as in the embodiment shown in FIG.

2.Also, when the pull-out workbench is pushed into the filing fixture body and closed, the structure should have enough space between it and the ceiling of the filing fixture body to place thin objects. If you are working on a workbench and suddenly have to leave your seat for some other reason, do not leave the work on the workbench and put it away, but push the pull-out workbench into the main body of the filing fixture. You can leave your seat after finishing the meal, so you don't have to worry about cleaning up.
Do not disturb other passersby. Therefore, it is suitable for jobs where many documents are referred to at once and the user frequently leaves his/her seat. In particular, if a plurality of such pull-out workbenches are provided, as in the embodiment shown in FIG. 5, more documents can be handled at once, which is particularly useful for work that involves a lot of sudden work.

■If you create the space where you can place thin objects to a size that allows you to fold up the laptop-type information processing equipment and use it as shown in the example shown in Figure 6, you can pull out the laptop-type information processing equipment and put it away while it is placed on the second workbench. You can pull it out and use the laptop-type information processing equipment right away. It's more stable than using it on your lap, and unlike when you place it on the desk top of an office desk, you don't have to worry about blocking the desk top and having trouble writing, so you can easily use your laptop when you're writing in the middle of an operation. It is efficient because there is no need to move the type information processing equipment to the side. Moreover, there is no need to worry about where to store the laptop-knob type information processing equipment. Furthermore, if a movable enclosure plate that can be folded down is provided around the drawer 2 workbench as in the embodiment shown in Fig. 7, it is convenient because the work surface becomes wider when the drawer is pulled out and folded down. Furthermore, as in the embodiment shown in Fig. 10, if the pull-out workbench and its pull-out mechanism are designed to be detachable from the main body of the filing fixture, it is possible to It is convenient to replace it with one that has a convenient pull-out workbench that matches well with it.
For those who already own a conventional filing fixture without a pull-out workbench and wish to replace it with the filing fixture of the present invention, the filing fixture of the present invention can be configured by simply adding a pullout-type workbench and its pull-out mechanism. This has the advantage of saving money compared to replacing the whole thing.
