Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a workbench with a work support device for facilitating work on a workbench such as a sink used while standing.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there have been provided various types of devices which are intended to facilitate work when using a work table such as a sink or a vanity which is used while standing upright. , Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 63-15884, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 1-126231, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 2-193.
48 and Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 2-125639. For example, these things have a support such as a chair that supports the weight of the user in the lower storage space of the workbench, and when the workbench is used, they are taken out from the lower storage space and placed at a predetermined position. It is to be used again and stored again in the lower space after use.

[0003]

However, in the conventional example as described above, the support must be pulled out from the lower space each time the workbench is used, and it is an obstacle after use. Since it is apt to be stored in the lower space, there is a problem that the moving operation during the work is troublesome.

The present invention is intended to solve the above problems, and it is not necessary to pull out or store each time when using, and the support can be used by simply leaning or sitting down, It is an object of the present invention to provide a workbench with a work support device that enables easy work.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is a workbench used in a standing posture, in which the support 1 for supporting the weight of the user is an upper part of the workbench 2. It is projected from the front.

[0006]

The function of the user is that, by leaning on or leaning on the support 1 projecting from the upper front surface of the workbench 2, the user does not have to work in a standing position for a long time, but in a comfortable position. It is possible to work, and the workbench 2 can be used easily without performing a troublesome work such as pulling out or storing the support 1 at the time of use and after each use.

[0007]

The present invention will be described below in detail based on the illustrated embodiments. As shown in FIG. 1, a support 1 is projected from the upper front surface of the workbench 2 such as a sink and a vanity to be used in a standing posture, and a user using the workbench 2 can Work table 2 by leaning on support 1 or sitting down
You can work in.

The workbench 2 is provided with a pair of support rails 3 along the longitudinal direction of the workbench 2, and the support 1 is attached to the support rail 3 so as to be movable.
It can be moved along the support rails 3. The support 1 is an L-shaped support shaft 1
A seat portion 1b having elasticity is provided at the tip of a, and a traveling portion 4 attached to a support rail 3 provided on the workbench 2 is provided at the base of the support shaft 1a.

The traveling unit 4 is attached to a first support rail 3a arranged in the workbench 2, and the first traveling unit 5 is attached to the first supporting rail 3a.
And a second traveling unit 6 to be attached to the second support rail 3b arranged on the front surface of the workbench 2. As shown in FIG. 2, the first traveling unit 5 is formed by providing a pair of upper and lower rollers 5b and 5c in a square-shaped holding frame 5a, and the upper roller 5b and the lower roller 5c. The first support rail 3a is arranged with the first support rail 3a sandwiched therebetween, and the rollers 5b and 5c roll to cause the first support rail 3a to roll.
On the other hand, the first traveling unit 5 is adapted to travel. The second traveling unit 6 is formed by providing a traveling roller 6b in a U-shaped holding frame 6a having an open bottom surface.
By rolling on the upper surface of the second support rail 3b, the second traveling unit 6 travels with respect to the second support rail 3b. A support shaft 7 that supports the traveling roller 6b is rotatably supported by a bearing 8 provided on the holding frame 6a, and the bearing 8 moves up and down against the spring force of the spring material 9. A brake shoe 10 is provided on the lower surface of the top plate of the holding frame 6a. When the traveling roller 6b moves upward against the spring force of the spring material 9, the traveling roller 6b and the brake shoe 10 come into contact with each other to apply a brake. In this state, the rotation of the traveling roller 6b is stopped. Here, as shown in FIG. 3, the spring force of the spring material 9 forms a gap between the brake shoe 10 and the traveling roller 6b when the support 1 is not loaded, and the traveling roller 6b rotates. As shown in FIG. 4, when the user leans on the support 1 or sits down and a load is applied, the running roller 6b contracts and the running roller 6b comes into contact with the brake shoe 10 as shown in FIG. It is like this. That is, normally, the support 1 can be freely moved and moved along the support rails 3 to change the position, and when the user is using it, the support 1 may be abruptly moved from the use position. There is no such thing.

Therefore, when using the workbench 2, a comfortable posture is achieved without leaning on the seat portion 1b of the support 1 or sitting down and working in a standing posture for a long time. Is something that can be done with.
Here, since the seat portion 1b is arranged so as to project from the front surface of the workbench 2, a certain space is formed between the seat portion 1b and the workbench 2, and when seated on the seat portion 1b, The legs can be placed between the seat portion 1b and the workbench 2. Further, when the work place on the workbench 2 changes, the support 1 can be easily moved to an arbitrary position by moving the support 1 along the support rails 3 without any trouble. Is.

FIG. 5 shows another embodiment of the present invention.
In this case, the support 1 is configured to support the abdomen of the user, and can be used while leaning against it. FIG. 6 shows still another embodiment of the present invention in which the seat portion 1b of the support 1 is extended in the lateral direction, and when the working position is changed, the seat portion 1b is moved each time. It is possible to save such trouble. Further, by making the seat portion 1b detachable, it is not necessary to straddle the seat portion 1b when the user moves away from or moves from the workbench 2.

[0012]

As described above, the present invention is a workbench that is used in a standing posture, and since the support for supporting the weight of the user is projected from the upper front surface of the workbench, By leaning on or sitting on the support projecting from the upper front of the table, the user can work in a comfortable position without having to work in a standing position for a long time. Further, the workbench can be easily used without performing a troublesome work such as pulling out or storing the support during and after each use.
