Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a desk incorporating an information processing device equipped with a keyboard, a display, etc.

[Conventional technology] In the past, office machines and desks as furniture were used for writing, reading, etc., but with the advent of office automation in recent years, desks have been occupied by word processors, personal computers, etc. That is the current situation.
Although such OA equipment is very convenient, it does not matter whether you are using it or not.
It was extremely space inefficient as it always occupied a certain amount of desk space.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] The present invention has been developed in view of the above-mentioned conventional examples, and includes a keyboard section and a display screen as an input section of an information processing device built into a desk, and a lid closed when not in use. The purpose is to provide a desk that can be used as a normal desk.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above object, the desk of the present invention has the following configuration. That is, an information processing device housed within the desk top of a desk, which is substantially flush with the desk top in a closed state, conceals at least an input section and a display section of the information processing device, and when the information processing device is in use. a lid that is slid to the rear of the desk and held at the rear of the desk; a member that prevents liquid from penetrating into the information processing device between the lid and the desk top in a closed state; and the input section. and a stand on which it is placed so that it can be pulled out.

[Operation] In the above configuration, the information processing device is housed in the desk top of the desk, and at least the input section and the display section of the information processing device are hidden by the lid that is substantially flush with the desk top surface in the closed state. When the lid is closed,
The input section of the information processing device is placed on a table, and the input section of the information processing device is connected to the input section of the information processing device by a member that prevents liquid from penetrating into the information processing device from between the lid body and the desk top. Penetration of liquids is prevented. The input section is retractable. When using the information processing device, the lid body is slid and held behind the desk to expose the input section and the display section, and the information processing device can be used.

[Embodiments] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[Description of structure of desk (Figs. 1 to 4)] Figs. 1A and 1B are external views of the entire desk 10 of this embodiment, and Fig. 1 shows the state in which the lid 13 of the desk 10 is closed. In the figures, FIG. 1A shows a state in which the lid body 13 is opened.

In the figure, reference numeral 11 indicates a flat display panel such as a liquid crystal or plasma display panel provided at the lower part of the lid 13, on which input data input from the keyboard 12, various instructions to the operator, function displays, etc. are displayed and output.

The portion including the keyboard 12, display section 11, etc. may be a part of the top plate integrally formed with the desk 10, or may be stored in the upper part of the desk 10.
It may be a separate part from the desk 10.

In addition, the front part 13' of the lid body 13 is connected to the other desk part 14.
It has almost the same slope as the front part of the lid body 13.
forms the front edge of desk 10 when closed.

FIG. 2 shows the keyboard 1 with the display section 11 exposed.
This is a diagram showing a state where 2 is pulled out toward the front, and parts common to those in FIG. 1 are indicated by the same symbols.

Reference numeral 31 denotes a circuit section in which a control section, a power supply, etc. are built in, and is connected to the display section 11 and the keyboard 12 via a power cable, a flat cable, etc. (not shown). The keyboard 12 is configured to be movable in the direction of arrow P by rails 41, 42 and 41', 42' provided on the left and right sides of the portion where the lid 13 is removed. Note that a hard disk, floppy disk device, or the like may be provided at the bottom of the desk 31 or in the drawer portion of the desk 10.

Further, the display unit 11 is configured to be tilted at a slight angle so that the operator can easily view the display unit 11.

FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along line Y-Y' in FIG. 1B, seen from the front of the desk 10, and parts common to other drawings are indicated by the same symbols.

Reference numerals 41 and 42 indicate rails that support the keyboard 12 and allow the keyboard 12 to move in the direction of arrow P. Reference numeral 45 indicates a board on which the keyboard 12 is placed, and the projection 44 and the rail 42 of the board 45, and the rail 41 and the projection 43
are slidably fitted with loose play. Reference numeral 46 denotes a member provided on the side surface of the keyboard 12, which contacts the lid 13 at 47 to support the lid 13 from below.

Furthermore, even if liquid such as water seeps into the gap 48 between the lid 13 and the portion 14, the structure is such that it does not penetrate into the keyboard 12, the flat panel 11, the circuit portion, etc. The upper part 13' of the lid 13 is made of a flexible member, and the lower part 13' of the lid 13 is made of a flexible member.
3'' are provided with hard members such as metal provided at intervals. With this configuration, when the keyboard 12 is used, the lid body 13 slides to the rear of the desk 10 and hangs down on the back surface. or rolled up and held behind the desk 10.

[Description of other embodiments (Fig. 4)] FIG. 4 is an external view of a desk according to another embodiment.

Here, the display surface is covered with glass or the like and is almost flush with the desk surface. Of the display surfaces, 22 is a display section on which various information such as characters and figures are displayed, and 23 is a touch panel section composed of transparent electrodes, etc., which is used as a keyboard for inputting various information.

When the touch panel 23 is not used, the lid 21 covers the display surface up to the position indicated by the dotted line, and when the touch panel 23 is used, the lid 21 is moved to the position indicated by 25. The display surface 22 can be exposed. Note that here, the display surface 22 is made of a hard member such as glass and is configured to be substantially flush with the desk surface, so the member of the lid portion 21 may be transparent or opaque as long as it is a flexible material. There are no particular limitations.

Furthermore, by providing a means for holding the lid part 21 at position 24 in FIG. The lid can be opened and closed by operation.

In addition, the functions stored in the desk of this example are as follows:
A data input device, a personal computer, a document processing device (word processor), etc. can be considered.

Further, although the keyboard is stored on the right side of the desk, it is not limited thereto, and may be placed, for example, on the center or left side of the desk.

As explained above, according to this embodiment, data can be entered using the keyboard and the display, and when the information processing device is not in use, it can be used as a normal desk. It can provide a desk that does not take up space.

[Effects of the invention] As explained above, according to the invention, it can be used for various information processing, etc., and can also be used as a normal desk when not being used as an information processing device. A desk that is not occupied can be provided. Furthermore, when using the device for various information processing, the open lid can be kept at the back of the desk so as not to interfere with the operator. Furthermore, when the lid is closed, the keyboard, display section, etc. covered by the lid are protected from liquid penetration from the desk surface.
