Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial field of application] This invention supports the corner portion of the top board with legs, and extends approximately parallel to the end surface of the top board on both the left and right sides of the legs. The present invention relates to a device for attaching adjacent side edges of the left and right curtain plates to the legs in a desk provided with a pair of left and right curtain plates.

[Conventional technology]

In recent years, office desks have been designed with a planar view as disclosed in Design Publication No. 62-14098, in order to improve the work environment by freeing up the layout of the desk and to make it compatible with office automation. Two rectangular desks are arranged at substantially right angles when viewed from above, and a desk top plate serving as a corner desk is arranged at the corner between the two desks and formed into an approximately pentagonal shape when viewed from above. There is a type in which the corner portion at the rear end of the top plate is supported by auxiliary legs.

In this way, in the case of a desk with a corner section located at the rear end, it is necessary to arrange a pair of curtain plates on the left and right sides of the corner section on the back of the desk. Conventionally, as shown in FIG. 17, the adjacent side edges of the left and right curtain plates 40 are bent inward, and the bent pieces 40a are welded to the side surfaces of the auxiliary legs 41. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 18, the side edges of the left and right curtain plates 40 are bent into a V-shaped cross section, and the bent pieces 40a of the left and right curtain plates 40 are brought into contact with each other. Folded piece 4 of both curtain plates 40
0a is further bent toward the inner surface of the curtain plate 40 to form a mounting piece 40b, and this mounting piece 40b is fixed to a bracket 42 screwed to the side surface of the auxiliary leg body 41 with screws 43. ing.

[Problem to be solved by the invention] However, in this way, the left and right curtain plates 40 are directly fixed to the auxiliary legs 41, or the left and right curtain plates 40 are fixed with their side end surfaces in contact with each other. In a configuration where the width of the left and right curtain plates 40 is larger than a predetermined value, the left and right curtain plates 40 are not shifted to the outside of the desk from the predetermined position, as shown by the dashed line. On the other hand, if the width dimension of the left and right curtain plates 40 is smaller than the predetermined dimension, it must be installed by shifting the predetermined position toward the inside of the desk as shown by the two-dot chain line. There was a problem in that the installation positions of both the left and right curtain panels were shifted due to processing errors in the left and right curtain panels.

Therefore, in order to attach the left and right curtain plates at predetermined positions, the left and right curtain plates 40 must be processed with high dimensional accuracy, and therefore, the sheet metal processing of the curtain plates 40 requires a great deal of effort. I had a problem.

In addition, in the case of the attachment means shown in FIG. 18, if an error occurs in attaching the ends of the left and right curtain plates 40 to the auxiliary legs 41, a gap and discrepancy will occur between the side end surfaces of the adjacent left and right curtain plates. There was also the problem of storage.

An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned technical problems and to enable the curtain plate to be reliably attached to a predetermined position.

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to achieve this purpose, the present invention supports the corner portions of the top plate with legs, and provides a pair of left and right curtain plates extending substantially parallel to the end surface of the top plate on both the left and right sides of the legs. In the desk comprising:
A support member having a pair of left and right abutting portions extending toward the outside of the desk is provided such that the gap between the left and right abutting portions increases toward the tip, and the pair of left and right abutting portions of the support member The side edges of the left and right curtain plates are brought into contact with the left and right curtain plates, respectively, and the corner members extending in the vertical direction of the legs are arranged so that the left and right end surfaces of the corner members are in contact with the side edges of the left and right curtain plates, respectively. The left and right curtain plates and the corner member are attached to the support member by fitting between a pair of left and right contact portions of the support member.

[Functions and effects of the idea]

With this configuration, the distance between the left and right abutting portions of the support member provided on the leg increases as it goes toward the tip, in other words, the left and right abutting portions form a substantially V-shape in plan view. By forming the shape, the side end surfaces of both the left and right curtain plates and the left and right end surfaces of the corner members in contact with these also form a substantially V-shaped form in plan view so as to spread toward the outside of the desk. ,
Even if the distance between the left and right curtain plates varies due to an error in the dimensional accuracy of the left and right curtain plates, the left and right curtain plates can be placed in the specified position by moving the corner members towards the legs. In the disposed state, the left and right end surfaces of the corner member can always be held in contact with the side end surfaces of the left and right curtain plates, respectively.

In addition, when attaching the curtain plate, the side end surfaces of both the left and right curtain plates are brought into contact with the pair of left and right abutting portions, and then the corner members are inserted between the left and right abutting portions. The left and right end surfaces of the corner member are brought into contact with the side end surfaces of the left and right curtain plates, so that the side edges of the left and right curtain plates are sandwiched between the support member and the side edge surfaces of the corner members. , it becomes difficult for the left and right curtain plates to be misaligned in their mounting positions.

In this way, the curtain plate can be accurately and easily attached to a predetermined position, and the shape of the corner portion can also be made smooth.
