Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a desk that houses a keyboard and is used as a terminal of a communication device.

[Prior Art] With the recent development of microcomputers, keyboards have been widely used as terminals for display devices used for processing, inputting, and transmitting data.

Since this keyboard is usually used together with a display device, several layouts and storage structures for the keyboard have been proposed. An example of this is a structure that is placed on a desk together with a display device, a structure that is stored in advance in the drawer 12 of the desk 1 as shown in Fig. There is a structure that looks like this.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

However, if you use the keyboard 2 all the time, you can fix the installation location on the desk 1, but if you only use it occasionally and want to use the desk space effectively, the keyboard 2 becomes a nuisance. There are other problems. As a solution to this problem, the fourth
If the keyboard 2 is stored in the drawer 12 of the desk 1 as shown in the figure, the area on the desk can be used effectively, but when the keyboard is used, the drawer 12 must be pulled out in front of the person operating the display. It is further away than device 3, making it difficult to read the characters.
In addition, since the keyboard is pulled out to the side of the user, not only is it difficult to operate the keyboard, but also the keyboard 2 is pulled out to the side of the user.
When this operation is performed, the drawer 12 becomes unstable.

Moreover, as shown by the dotted line in FIG. 4, if you take out the keyboard 2 from the drawer and place it on the desk, the cable 14 attached to the keyboard 2 will be moved due to the trouble of taking out the keyboard 2.
There were problems such as the cable 14 being cut due to the cable 14 being hit or rubbed.

The object of the present invention is to provide a keyboard storage method that eliminates these drawbacks, has good operability, and allows effective use of desk space.

[Means for solving problems]

In the present invention, in a desk 1 where a keyboard is installed together with a display device, a space is provided under a top plate 4 of the desk 1 in which a keyboard 2 can be installed in advance, and the keyboard is stored therein. The top plate of the desk 1 is divided in advance into a top plate 4, which is a part for storing the keyboard 2, and another top plate 5.

The top plate 4, which is the part that houses the keyboard 2, is movable, and when moved to a predetermined position, the top plate 4 changes direction and is folded to be perpendicular to the desk 1. Therefore, since the top plate 4 can be easily moved, if you only use the keyboard 2 occasionally, you can move the top plate 4 and use the keyboard 2, and after use, return the top plate 4 to its original position. It was structured as follows.

[Effect]

When using the keyboard 2 all the time, the top plate 4 can be left in place, making it easy to operate the keyboard 2 without changing its installation position. Furthermore, the desk top can always be used effectively by closing the top plate 4 when not in use.

〔Example〕

An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Figure 1 shows an overall view of a desk 1 on which a display device 3 and a keyboard 2 are installed.
is placed under the top plate 4 of the desk 1.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a state in which the top plate 4 of the desk in FIG. 1 has moved to a predetermined position, rotated downward, and folded. As the top plate 4 moves, the keyboard 2 is exposed. .

The mechanism for moving the top plate 4 will be explained using FIG. 3. Mounting brackets 6, 6' are attached to both ends of the top plate 4, and as shown in the figure, rollers 7, 7' is attached. Furthermore, the mounting bracket 6,
A guide part 8 that guides the rollers 7, 7' of 6',
Grooves 10, 10' are provided in 8' so that the rollers 7, 7' of the mounting brackets 6, 6' can be inserted therein. The rollers 7, 7' of the mounting fittings 6, 6' are guided to move within these grooves 10, 10'. Next, at the ends of the guide parts 8, 8', there is another roller 9, which guides the mounting bracket, as shown in the figure.
9' is provided so that the rollers 7, 7' of the mounting bracket and the rollers 9, 9' of the guide part can be easily moved back and forth. First, attach the guide parts 8, 8' to the side surface of the main body of the desk 1, and then attach the rollers 7, 7' of the mounting brackets 6, 6' to the guide parts 8, 8'.
The guide part 8,
8', move the mounting brackets 6, 6' perpendicularly to the mounting brackets 6, 6' at the specified positions 11, 11'.
6' is changed in direction, and the top plate 4 is attached to the mounting brackets 6, 6' from the back side.

The method for changing the direction is to use the mounting brackets 6, 6'.
The rollers 7, 7' of the grooves 10, 7' of the guide parts 8, 8'
When the top plate 4 moves to positions 11 and 11' of 10' and matches the axis position of the rollers 9 and 9' of the guide parts 8 and 8', the front end of the top plate 4 rotates downward. The positions are aligned accordingly. In addition, considering the case where the keyboard 2 is always used, a notch 13 is provided at the corner of the top plate 4 so that the keyboard 2 can be installed on the top plate 4, and the keyboard cable 14 is designed so that the keyboard cable 14 can be pulled out. It is a storage structure.

[Effect of idea]

In the present invention, the top plate 4 can be easily moved and the direction can be changed at a predetermined position, so there is no need to move the keyboard and the operability is good, and the keyboard can be easily moved by moving the top plate when necessary. It can be used.

Also, if you close the top plate after using the keyboard, you can use it as a desk to expand the usable area.

Furthermore, since the keyboard is installed in a predetermined position, there is an advantage that there is no need to hang the cable on the desk and cut it.
