Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a desk that is suitable for use in offices and offices on which OA equipment is mounted.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art When an OA device is placed on a tabletop of a desk or used in a school or office, it is necessary to lead a large number of wires such as power lines and communication lines from a floor, a wall or an adjacent desk. There is a problem in routing the wiring. Therefore, in a conventional desk, for example, the rear edges of the left and right legs are connected by a rear panel, and one inner panel is fixed to the front of the rear panel by screwing or the like to form between the two panels. It is known that wirings are stored in a wiring storage space. This product opens a wiring hole at a position just above the wiring storage space on the top plate and stores the wiring in the wiring storage space through the wiring hole, so that the wiring can be routed nicely so that it cannot be seen from the desk or the front. Makes it possible. The rear panel and the inner panel have a width approximately equal to the distance between the left and right legs, and both left and right ends are attached to the inner surface of the legs.

[0003]

However, the desk having such a structure has a problem that the work in the wiring storage space is extremely complicated. In other words, the clearance required between the rear panel and the inner panel only needs to be large enough to accommodate the wiring, so the clearance between the two panels is usually not wide enough to allow the user's hands to be inserted inside, and eventually the inner panel Must be removed each time and the wiring must be stored in the wiring storage space, and the workability is extremely low. It is possible to reduce the height of the inner panel to reduce the height of the wiring storage space, but the wiring will be visible from the front. It is also possible to widen the space between both panels to increase the width of the wiring storage space, but this will greatly reduce the use efficiency of the space under the desk.

The present invention has been made in view of these problems, and a desk capable of effectively improving the workability of wiring work even if the wiring storage space is the same as the conventional one. It is intended to be provided.

[0005]

The present invention takes the following means in order to achieve such an object.
That is, in the desk according to the present invention, the top plate is supported by the left and right legs, the rear panel is disposed between the rear edges of these legs, and the inner panel is provided between the left and right legs in front of the rear panel. In a structure in which a panel is provided and a wiring storage space is formed between the inner panel and the rear panel, the inner panel is attached so as to be slidable left and right.

In a preferred embodiment, the inner panel is detachably supported by the upper rail at the upper end and the lower rail at the lower end. In this case, it is more desirable to keep the entire wiring storage space flush with the inner panels.

The present invention is particularly useful when applied to a desk in which shelves are arranged in front of the inner panel.

[0008]

With such a structure, by slidingly moving the inner panel, it is possible to perform a wiring work by opening a necessary portion of the wiring storage space closed in the panel to the front surface. Workability can be significantly improved. In particular, when the inner panel is detachably attached to the desk through the rails, the workability can be further improved, and usually a plurality of inner panels are used.
The entire wiring storage space can be closed flush with the panel, and the original blinding effect of the inner panel can be secured. Even in this case, of course, if necessary, remove one of them and slide the remaining inner panel appropriately to partially open an appropriate position of the space closed by the inner panel to perform wiring. You can do the work. In this way, it is possible to simultaneously improve the workability of the wiring work, prevent the wiring from being visually recognized, and effectively use the space under the desk without changing the form of the wiring storage space.

Further, a square pipe 25 is arranged near the rear end of the lower portion so as to extend left and right, and both left and right ends of the square pipe 25 are connected to the inner side surfaces of both legs 2.

The rear panel 3 is formed by bending a sheet metal material into a flat casing shape, and has an upper edge on the lower surface 1b of the top plate 1 and left and right side edges on the inner surface near the rear edge 2a of the leg 2. 2b are respectively attached and fixed to the lower legs to close the lower limb spaces that open to the rear surfaces of the two legs 2.

In the desk having such a structure, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, in front of the rear panel 3,
Wiring in which three inner panels 4 are arranged, and the wiring A from the devices mounted on the top plate 1 can be dropped between the rear panel 3 and the inner panel 4 through the wiring hole 13 and stored. A storage space 5 is formed.

The three inner panels 4 have a width that is approximately one third of the distance between the legs 2, and are formed by bending a sheet metal material into a flat casing shape, and are directed rearward near the upper end 4a. A rail receiver 41 is provided so as to project in an upward L-shape in cross section. In this inner panel 4, a lower edge 1a of an upper rail 6 which is hung and fixed on a lower surface 1b of a top plate 1 between an upper end 4a and a rail receiver 41 is loosely fitted, and a lower end 4b is attached to the square pipe 25. It is attached while being supported by the recess 71 of the lower rail 7. That is, the inner panel 4 is slidable in the left-right direction along the rails 6 and 7, and can be attached to and detached from the rails 6 and 7 in the thickness direction.

A cord receiver 8 is arranged along the square pipe 25 in the wiring accommodating space 5 for accommodating the wiring A. The cord receiver 8 is made of resin and is integrally formed with the lower rail 7. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5, the cord receiver 8 is connected to a downwardly U-shaped main body 81 fitted onto the square pipe 25 and a resin hinge 82 at the upper end front edge of the main body 81. It consists of a saucer 83

As a result, the inner panel 4 is attached to the position where the front surface of the wiring storage space 5 is closed without falling off. When the three inner panels 4 are attached, these panels 4 are flush with each other and substantially completely close the wiring storage space 5. Further, in order to remove the inner panel 4, first, the inner panel 4 is lifted upward so that the lower end 4b of the inner panel 4 is withdrawn from the recess 71 of the lower rail 7, then the lower end 4b of the inner panel 4 is moved forward and the inner panel 4 is removed. The panel 4 is tilted and supported, and finally the inner panel 4 is moved downward to move the upper rail 6 and the rail receiver 41.
And, the engagement with the panel upper end 6a is released and the panel is removed. As a result, the front surface of the wiring storage space 5 in which the panel 4 is arranged is opened.

With the desk having such a structure, the inner panel 4 can be slid to move it.
Wiring work can be performed by opening a necessary portion of the wiring storage space 5 that has been closed to the front side at any time. For this reason,
Even if the wiring storage space 5 has the same form as compared with the desk having the conventional structure, workability relating to the wiring work can be significantly improved. In particular, in this embodiment, the inner panel 4 is supported by the upper and lower rails 6 and 7 so that the inner panel 4 can be easily attached and detached not only in the slide but also in the thickness direction, so that the wiring work is further simplified. Besides, the inner wiring space 5 is normally closed by three inner panels 4 so that the entire wiring storage space 5 is closed flush, one of them is removed if necessary, and the remaining inner panel 4 is slid appropriately. By moving it, an appropriate part of the wiring storage space 5 can be opened to the front. For this reason, it is possible to effectively ensure the original blind function of the inner panel 4 in the normal state.

As described above, this desk is provided with the wiring storage space 5
The workability of wiring work is improved without changing the form of
The excellent effect of simultaneously preventing the visual recognition of the wiring and effectively utilizing the lower limb space is exhibited.

In order to reduce the number of devices placed on the top plate 1, as shown in FIG. Although there is a desk in which equipment is stored, the present invention is also useful when applied to such a desk. That is, in this case, the top plate 1
A lot of wiring is required between the equipment placed on the top and the equipment housed in the shelf 9, but the inner panel 4 at the rear position is removed according to the position of the shelf 9 to remove the wiring storage space 5. If an opening is formed in advance on the front surface of the, the wiring can be properly arranged, and since the opening is covered by the shelf 9, the appearance from the front is spoiled without the panel 4 being mounted. Never be Therefore,
The wiring work can be performed very effectively, and at the same time, the appearance can be kept neat.

Of course, the structure of the present invention is not limited to the one described above. For example, the number of inner panels 4 can be two or four or more. Further, the structure for supporting the inner panel 4 so as to be slidable or detachable is not limited to the structure including the upper rail 6 and the lower rail 7. Further, the storage and routing of the wiring in the wiring storage space 5 is not limited to the one using the wiring hole as in the present embodiment. In addition, the specific shape and material of each part can be variously set without departing from the scope of the present invention.

[0022]

As described above, the desk of the present invention is such that the inner panel forming the wiring storage space between the rear panel and the rear panel can be slid to the left and right at the installation position. Therefore, without removing each time, a part of the wiring accommodating space is opened to the front, and the effect of improving the convenience during wiring work is achieved. In particular, if the inner panel is held by the upper and lower rails, the inner panel can be not only slid but also easily attached and detached, and the workability relating to the wiring work can be further improved. Furthermore, when a plurality of inner panels are mounted so that the entire wiring storage space can be closed flush, the object of the present invention can be achieved without impairing the original blinding function of the inner panels. It will be preferable. The present invention is applied to the lower limb space of the top plate.
When applied to a desk that has a shelf for placing equipment A, etc.,
Wiring work can be performed extremely effectively by using the opening formed at the position where the inner panel is retracted, and the opening can be visually blocked by an OA device or the like arranged on the shelf. Therefore, the effect of the present invention can be exerted without any limitation.
