Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a wiring processing device,
In particular, the present invention relates to a wiring processing apparatus improved so as to have a function of improving the environment of an office.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, with the spread of OA equipment, a large number of OA equipment are installed on desks in offices. On the other hand, in the office, undercarpet wiring, free access floor wiring, etc. are provided to cope with a change in the position of the OA equipment or prevent wiring damage. Therefore, the wiring for electric power or communication connected to these OA devices is raised on the floor under the desk and connected to the OA device on the desk.

On the other hand, in offices, it is often found that desks are arranged side by side with the desks facing each other in order to improve communication and effectively use the indoor space. When the desks are arranged in this way, the wiring of the OA devices placed on these desks is often dropped from between the desks facing each other so that they cannot be seen. However, if this is done, dust will accumulate on these and Since the wiring is spread over several lines and the extra length is relatively long, it is not preferable because the wiring groups clutter the space between the desks.

In order to solve this, a wiring processing device for collecting and accommodating such a wiring group has been conventionally proposed, and the applicant of the present invention has already proposed such a wiring in Japanese Patent Application No. 63-314352. We provide processing equipment.

Such a wiring processing device is provided so as to be sandwiched between the facing desks of the facing desk row, and has a box which stands up on the floor surface in a self-supporting manner, and one end of which is horizontally connected to the upper part of the box. , And a duct provided at the other end and standing upright on the floor. These boxes and ducts are formed so that their lateral width is equal to the lateral width of the desks, and a box is provided between certain opposing desks, and if there are desks arranged side by side, the ducts are placed next to the boxes. It is connected and can be extended.

[0006]

By the way, in such a wiring processing apparatus, the wiring under the floor is raised in a box that stands directly on the floor, and is pulled into the duct from the inside of the box and horizontally laid. At the same time, since the box and the duct are pulled out from the upper surface and connected to the OA device, the combination with the box is inevitable and becomes relatively large. Especially when the number of wires is small,
There was a disadvantage that a large space was created in the box, and the size itself was wasted. There was also the drawback that the feet would be narrowed due to the box.

Further, as this type of wiring processing device,
For example, there is one as shown in Japanese Patent Application No. 61-27862, but this is not a self-standing type, but a structure in which the desk and the wiring processing device are integrally engaged is adopted, so that the desk itself is also There is a problem that the existing desk cannot be utilized because the engaging means for mounting the wiring processing device is required.

On the other hand, in the recent multifunctional desks, when the facing desks are arranged, auxiliary parts such as a pinup board or a counter unit can be freely added between the facing desks to improve the office environment or function. However, such a function does not exist in a very general desk that has existed since the past, and the above auxiliary parts are placed separately on the desk to improve the environment or functions of the office. The method of improving was adopted.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Therefore, an object of the present invention is to solve the above problems and to provide a wiring processing apparatus which does not occupy a space and can freely incorporate an additional function for improving the environment of an office.

[0010]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention is a wiring processing apparatus for storing wiring, which is interposed between front and rear desks arranged facing each other, and has a top surface. Wiring ducts that are open, legs that are integrally attached to both ends of the wiring ducts in order to make them self-supporting, and the insertion parts for additional objects such as pinup boards are detachably fitted to the upper ends of these legs. And a fitting portion provided accordingly.

[0011]

With the above structure, the appearance of the desk can be improved by accommodating the wiring of the OA equipment, the power outlet, the relay terminal for communication, or the extra length of the wiring in the wiring duct. Further, unlike the conventional case, the wiring duct itself is self-supporting without providing the box, so that the space can be effectively utilized and the foot can be widened. Furthermore, since an add-on such as a pin-up board can be attached to the upper ends of the legs, the office environment can be improved while using the existing desk having no particular function.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the wiring processing apparatus 1 is self-supporting and made of metal, and is interposed between the front and rear desks A arranged facing each other. It is mainly composed of a wiring duct 2 whose upper surface is open for a long time, and legs 3 which are integrally attached to the central portions of the left and right ends of the wiring duct 2 so as to be self-supporting.

The wiring duct 2 is provided with side plates 2a having a width narrower than the depth of the wiring duct 2 on both left and right ends thereof.
Apertures 4 are formed in the upper and lower portions of a, and a central portion of the upper edge of the side plate 2a on the back side of the leg 3 is cut out in a concave shape to form a locking groove 2b.

The leg 3 includes a tubular member 5 having a rectangular C-shaped cross section,
The support column 6 is mainly composed of a support column 6 inserted into the lower end of the tubular member 5, and screws 7 are screwed into screw holes 5a formed in the front and rear of the lower end of the tubular member 5 to support columns. 6
Is fixed, and the height of the leg 3 can be adjusted by changing the fixing position of the support column 6. Support pillar 6
Is provided with a large number of recesses (not shown in the figure) on the front and rear surfaces thereof at the same pitch as the vertical pitch of the screw holes 5a and than the screw holes 5a. It can be integrated with the support column 6. A seat 6a is formed at the lower end of the support column 6 to enable the wiring processing apparatus 1 to stand on its own. Further, the upper end portion of the leg 3, that is, the upper end portion of the tubular member 5 serves as a fitting portion 3a for detachably fitting the insertion portion 13a of an additional object such as a pin-up board.

The wiring duct 2 and the legs 3 are arranged such that the upper end of the wiring duct 2 and the upper end of the tubular member 5 are at the same height, and the tubular member 5 is inwardly C-shaped. And the front and rear width of the leg 3 is formed to be shorter than the front and rear width of the wiring duct 2.

The wiring duct 2 upper surface open portion is openably and closably covered by a plurality of cover members 8, particularly three cover members 8 in the illustrated example. The cover member 8 is removable,
A central cover member 8a for covering the left and right central parts of the wiring duct 2
And end cover members 8b, 8b that cover the left and right ends thereof, which are formed to have a left-right length that is equal to the left-right total length of the wiring processing device 1 as a whole, in other words, the wiring duct 2
It is extended to the outermost side of the leg 3 longer. A notch hole 9 is provided at the center of one of the left and right ends of the end cover member 8b, which is equal to the shape of the upper edge of the tubular member 5 and corresponds to that position. The central portions of both ends of the central cover member 8a and the central portion of the other end of the end cover member 8b without the notch hole 9 are cutouts for passage so that when they abut, they become elongated holes in the front-rear direction. Holes 11 are provided, and these cutout holes 11, 11 for wire passage are provided.
The long hole formed by abutting each other becomes the through hole 10 and serves as an outlet for the wiring in the wiring duct 2. Further, the front and rear end edges of the cover members 8 are bent downward at a substantially right angle to form a flange portion 12.

In the wiring processing apparatus 1 thus constructed, the left and right overall length is formed to be equal to the left and right overall length of the desk sandwiching it from the front and rear, and the overall height, that is, the height of the upper surface of the cover member 8. The height of the leg 3 can be adjusted so that the height becomes equal to the total height of the desk. in this way,
Since the structure of the wiring processing device 1 is simple and compact, there is an advantage that it does not become large-scaled as in the conventional case, the legs of the desk can be wide, and the cost is low.

Next, the operation of the embodiment will be described.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example in which a pinup board 13 is added to the wiring processing apparatus 1. As shown in the figure, the pin-up board 13 has insertion portions 13a provided at the left and right ends thereof at equal intervals to the legs 3. The insertion portion 13a is made of an angular member that can be inserted into the tubular member 5, and a plurality of bottomed mounting screw holes 13b (two in the illustrated example) are provided in the vertical direction. The mounting screw 14 longer than the depth of the mounting screw hole 13b is fixed. Therefore, if the insertion portion 13a is inserted from above the tubular member 5, the pinup board 1
3 can be engaged with the wiring processing apparatus 1, and the environment of the office can be improved while using the existing desk.
Here, the head portion and the screw portion of the mounting screw 14 are the mounting screw holes 1
Since it is projected and fixed from 3b, the threaded portion of the mounting screw 14 is slid and hooked into the locking groove 2b to lock the mounting screw hole 13b, thereby freely selecting the height of the pinup board 13. The height can be adjusted easily because the position can be set and it can be inserted and removed. Incidentally, when the pinup board 13 is not attached in this way, a blind lid 13c made of rubber or the like is fitted on the upper end of the tubular member 5 to prevent the equipment on the desk from falling into the tubular member 5.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example in which the wiring processing apparatus 1 is installed between desks A arranged opposite to each other, and a counter 15 is added thereto. Similarly, the counter 15 also has the insertion portions 13a provided at the same intervals as the legs 3, and the way of engaging with the wiring processing apparatus 1 is the same as the above.
Moreover, since the wiring processing apparatus 1 is sandwiched between the desks A, the wiring processing apparatus 1 can stand more stably.

Further, as shown in the drawing, the wiring 19 for the OA equipment 18 which is rolled or ducted under the floor panel 17 of the free access floor 16 is raised from the floor panel 17 under the desk A, particularly When the number of threads is large, the wiring duct 2 is bundled while being bound by a binding band (not shown) or the like.
Is drawn into the wiring duct 2 through the opening 4. Furthermore, it is routed to a predetermined position in this wiring duct 2,
In some cases, it is pulled out from the through hole 10 of the cover member 8 via a power outlet, a relay terminal, or the like (not shown) and connected to the OA equipment 18 on the desk. Here, the wiring 19 is inserted into the opening 4 and the through hole 10, but if a bushing (not shown) made of rubber or nylon is provided in the opening 4 and the through hole 10, these are Wiring 19
Can be prevented from being scratched and scratched. Of course, these wiring 1
The extra length of 9 can be accommodated in the wiring duct 2 to improve the aesthetics of the office.

According to the wiring processing apparatus 1 having the above-mentioned structure, the wiring 19 is exposed at the rising portion from the floor, and the appearance is damaged if the wiring 19 is left as it is. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4, a side cover 20 is detachably provided by screwing or the like on the outside of the leg 3 located at the visible position, and the wiring 19 is hidden to solve this problem. The front and rear widths of the side cover 20 are formed to be substantially the same as the front and rear width of the wiring duct 2, and
Since it has a vertical length from the upper end to the vicinity of the floor panel 17, the wiring 19 raised from the floor can be hidden. In this way, only the cover member 8 and the side cover 20 are visible from the outside, and therefore it is sufficient to apply a makeup finish (for example, a paint finish) in consideration of the appearance of only the cover member 8 and thus the cost can be reduced.

FIG. 5 is a view showing a state in which the wiring processing apparatus 1 is installed between the desk A and the side desk B which are arranged side by side and in opposite rows. C is a chair. In this case, the wiring processing apparatus 1 is also connected side by side in the same manner, but since it has the openings 4 on both left and right sides thereof, it can be freely routed in the lateral direction through the wiring 19. Moreover, since the cover member 8 for one wiring processing device 1 extends to the outermost side of the leg 3 longer than the wiring duct 2, the connection between the cover members 8 is smooth and does not spoil the appearance. Further, since the end cover member 8b is provided with the notch hole 9 having the same shape as the upper end edge of the tubular member 5, it is possible to attach an add-on such as the pin-up board 13 to any position. Even when the wiring processing devices 1 are arranged in this manner, only the outermost left and right sides and the upper surface portion can be seen, and it is sufficient to apply the decorative finish only to the required number of cover members 8 and the two side covers 20, thus reducing costs. Can be achieved.

By the way, when the number of the wirings 19 of the OA equipment 18 is small, it is disadvantageous in terms of space if the wiring processing device 1 or the wiring duct 2 is enlarged. In such a case, as shown in FIG. 6, the wiring processing apparatus 1 may be formed using the wiring duct 2 having a short front-back width. In this wiring processing device 1, the wiring duct 2 has a front-rear length longer than the front-rear length of the tubular member 5 of the leg 3, and the side plates 2a are provided only on the lower halves on the left and right sides, and the opening portion is formed on the upper half. 4 is formed. Further, the tubular member 5 is brought close to either the front surface or the rear surface of the wiring duct 2 and locked to the wiring duct 2. Therefore, the opening 4 is formed on one side of the front and rear without the tubular member 5, and the wiring 19 is drawn into the wiring duct 2 through the opening 4.
As described above, when the number of wirings 19 is small, the wiring processing apparatus 1 can be formed small and the indoor space of the office can be effectively utilized. Further, even if the wiring processing apparatus 1 is formed in this manner, an add-on such as a pin-up board can be attached, and the aesthetics of the office can be improved similarly to the above.

In this embodiment, the height of the leg 3 can be adjusted, but since many desks A and side desks B have a height determined by JIS, they are adjusted to these heights. The height of the leg 3 may be fixed and the wiring processing apparatus 1 can be made simpler and cheaper.
