Abstract

PURPOSE:To make it possible to enlarge the effective work area, by making a top board to be a distorted form so that the top board surrounds the user. CONSTITUTION:A top board 2 has parallel sides 5, 6 on the right and left sides. A side 2a opposite to the end to be used, has a first rear side straight part 7 which crosses the right side 5 at right angles, a rear side inclined part 8 which continuously extends from the first straight part 7 to the left side 6 and is inclined by, for example, 30 deg. in the direction of surrounding the user, and a second rear side straight part 9 which continuously extends from the inclined part 8 and crosses the left side 6 at right angles. A side 2b of the end to be used is distorted corresponding to the side 2a. Since the top board 2 has a distorted form surrounding a user, the user can reach a wide range on the top board 2, only by changing the direction of the chair. Consequently, the accessible range is widened to enlarge the effective work area. In addition, when a display is put on the top board 2, the direction of the display can largely be changed by choosing the position between a position before the first rear side straight part 7 and a position before the rear side inclined part 8, and the possibility of preventing outside light from shining into the display, can be enlarged.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a desk preferably used in an office or the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Although various improvements have been made to desks up to the present day, these improvements give a high-class feeling, improve sleeve storage efficiency, secure wiring space, etc. Most of them are related to, and there is no significant change in basic functions. That is, a general desk that can be used in an opposed position in an office or the like has a top plate that is rectangular in plan view.

[0003]

However, the top plate having a rectangular shape in plan view tends to have difficulty in reaching the left and right side edge portions near the non-use end, and the effective work range tends to be relatively narrow. In addition, recently, a display such as a computer is often used by mounting it on a top plate, but with a rectangular top plate, the range in which the arrangement direction can be changed tends to be limited to a narrow angle. Therefore, there is a problem that it is difficult to avoid the reflection on the display when external light or the like enters from the back of the user.

Further, when a desk is used, it is difficult to calmly continue to work unless the user sits down so as to directly face the use end of the tabletop. Therefore, the desk having the rectangular top plate has its use end aligned in a straight line, so that the optimal sitting direction is limited to one direction. Therefore, when the conventional desks are arranged opposite to each other, the users of the desks facing each other face each other straight. This attitude is convenient when both parties are communicating, but there are contents that emphasize privacy in normal business, and it is stressful to always work in an opposite attitude. It can happen.

The present invention aims to solve these problems.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention employs the following configuration. That is, in the desk according to the present invention, the top plate has side surfaces that are substantially parallel to each other on the left and right sides, and a rear side straight side portion that is substantially orthogonal to one side side on the non-use end side and a rear side side straight side portion. And a rear-side inclined side portion that is continuous to the side portion and that is inclined in the direction surrounding the user and extends in the other side direction. The use end side of the top plate is the rear-side straight side portion and the rear-side side. It is characterized by being bent or curved corresponding to the inclined side portion.

As a use end side of the top plate in the desk according to the present invention, a first front side straight side portion substantially orthogonal to one side side, and the back side side inclined side continuous with the front side straight side portion. A typical example is one that includes a front-side inclined side portion that is substantially parallel to the section and a second front-side straight side portion that is continuous with the front-side inclined side portion and that is substantially orthogonal to the other side. To be

[0008]

With this structure, the top plate is bent so as to surround the user,
The user can extend the hand over a wide area on the top simply by changing the direction of the chair. Therefore, the effective work range can be reasonably expanded as compared with the rectangular top plate having the same horizontal dimension and depth dimension. Also, even when disposing the display on the top plate,
The orientation of the display can be changed relatively largely depending on whether the display is placed in front of the rear side straight side portion or in front of the back side inclined side portion. Therefore, when external light or the like enters from the back of the user, it is possible to increase the possibility of avoiding reflection on the display or the like.

Further, according to such a structure, the two desks can be arranged to face each other by bringing the back side inclined side portions of the top plate into contact with or close to each other. And
Each of these top plates has sides that are substantially parallel to each other on the left and right sides, and since the back side straight side portion is substantially orthogonal to that side side, the pair of desks facing each other can be moved in the left and right direction. It is possible to arrange a plurality of sets without making a large gap. By thus arranging a plurality of desks facing each other, it is possible to use the space of an office or the like at a high density, and obtain an effect that is not provided by the conventional facing layout. That is, the desk of the present invention can be seated toward the rear side straight side portion or can be seated toward the rear side inclined side portion. Therefore, the person sitting on the facing desk can freely select one of the two optimal sitting positions by his / her own will. Therefore, those occupants can face each other in front of each other for conversation, or can work in different directions.

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

The desk 1 shown in FIG. 1 comprises a top plate 2, legs 3 for supporting the top plate 2, and a beam 4 installed between the left and right legs 3.

The top plate 2 has side edges 5 and 6 parallel to the left and right sides, and a non-use end side 2a is a first rear side straight side portion 7 orthogonal to the right side edge 5 and this first side portion. A back side inclined side portion 8 which is continuous with the back side straight side portion 7 and extends in the left side 6 direction at an angle of, for example, 30 ° in a direction surrounding the user, and a back side inclined side portion 8 which is continuous with the back side inclined side portion 6 and is orthogonal to the left side side 6. And a second rear surface side portion 9 which is provided. The use end side 2b is bent to correspond to the first and second rear side straight side portions 7 and 9 and the rear side inclined side portion 8, and the first front surface orthogonal to the right side 5 The side straight side portion 10 and the front side inclined side portion 1 which is continuous with the front side straight side portion 10 and is parallel to the back side inclined side portion 8 and has the same length.
1 and a second front side straight side portion 12 which is continuous with the front side inclined side portion 11 and is orthogonal to the left side side 6. The first front side straight part 10 is, for example, the first front side when a wagon having a plurality of drawers and functioning as a sleeve is arranged in a space below the top plate 2 adjacent to the right leg 3. The length may be set to be sufficient for sitting and working toward the right side portion 10, and for example, about 80 cm is preferable. Further, the front side inclined side portion 11 may be set in the same manner as the effective length of the conventional one-sleeve desk at the working end side at the time of work, and specifically, it is preferably about 60 cm. Further, if the second front side straight side portion 12 is set to have a length approximately equal to the width dimension of the wagon described above, an alternative place for the wagon is not accommodated on the first front side straight side portion 10 side. It can be provided, and may be set to about 43 cm, for example. The depth dimension from the use end side 2b to the non-use end side 2a, that is, the distance between the opposite straight side portions 7, 10 and 9, 12 reaches the non-use end side 2a in a state in which an adult extends his arm. It may be set to a level of about 66 cm.

The leg 3 is used from the upper end of the body portion 15, the base portion 15 placed on the floor via the adjuster 14, the body portion 16 erected on the side 2a opposite to the use end 2a of the base portion 15. An arm portion 17 extending to the end side 2b is provided, and the arm portion 17 supports the lower surface of the top plate 2 in the vicinity of both side edges 5 and 6.

The beam 4 is composed of a rod having an elliptical shape in a vertical cross section, and is bent in the longitudinal direction so as to correspond to the shape of the top plate 2 on the side opposite to the used end 2a. Both ends thereof are fixed to the back surface near the upper end of the body 16 of the leg 3.

In such a structure, for example, the width 40
When a cm wagon or the like (not shown) is stored under the top plate 2, the wagon may be arranged below the first front side straight side portion 10 or the second front side straight side portion 12. It is possible. In particular, for a right-handed user, if a wagon is arranged on the second front side straight side 12 on the left side, the movable range of the chair does not have a large restriction, and the movable range of the wagon is the first. This corresponds to the entire length of the front side straight side portion 10 and the front side inclined side portion 11, so that the user can easily change the seating position.

Further, since the top plate 2 is bent so as to surround the user, the user can extend the hand over a wide range on the top plate 2 only by changing the direction of the chair. It will be possible. Therefore, as compared with a rectangular top plate having the same horizontal dimension and depth dimension, the ergonomically accessible range is expanded, and the effective work range is expanded. Also, a display (not shown) on the top plate 2
Even in the case of arranging, the orientation of the display is changed relatively largely depending on whether it is placed in front of the first rear side straight side portion 7 or in front of the rear side inclined side portion 8. can do. Therefore, it is possible to expand the possibility of avoiding the reflection of external light on the display or the like.

As shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, in the desk 1 having such a structure, two desks 1 are arranged to face each other by bringing the back side inclined side portions 8 of the top plate 2 into contact with each other. You can Each of the top plates 2 is provided with side edges 5 and 6 parallel to the left and right sides, and the first and second rear side straight side portions 7 and 9 are orthogonal to the side edges 5 and 6. Therefore, it is possible to arrange a plurality of desks 1 facing each other in the left-right direction without forming a large gap. In that case, one beam 19 is shared by the first rear side straight side portions 7 of the desks 1 facing each other, and the rear side inclined side portion 8 is further used.
One beam 20 is shared by the two and the beams 19 and 20 are fixed to the leg 3. With such a configuration, the beams 19 and 20 connect the desks 1 arranged opposite to each other, and also connect the adjacent desks 1 having the side edges 5 and 6 in contact with each other. Further, as shown in FIG. 4, a channel-shaped gutter 21 that opens upward fixes one edge to the lower surface near the non-use end side 2a of the top plate 2 of one desk, and the other edge of the other opposite edge. It is arranged so as to be located under the top plate 2 of the desk 1. The gutter 21 is for wiring under the top plate 2.

As described above, when a plurality of desk rows DL are arranged in the left-right direction and the formed desk rows DL are arranged so that their non-use end sides 2a face each other, each desk row D is viewed from the use end side 2b.
On the left side of the leg 3 of the desk 1 located at the left end of L, there is a space until reaching the right end of the opposing row of desks DL, so a desk 22 having a top plate 24 having a rectangular shape in plan view is arranged. By doing so, it is possible to increase the area of the top plate without protruding the area occupied by the desks 1 arranged facing each other, so that the space of the office or the like can be used at a high density and the conventional facing arrangement does not have. The action is obtained. That is, the desk 1 of the present invention can be seated toward the first front side straight side portion 10, that is, at the position A, or can be seated toward the front side inclined side portion 11, that is, at the position B. Is. Therefore, the person sitting on the desk 1 facing each other can freely select one of the two optimal sitting positions by his / her own will. Therefore, those occupants can sit down at the position A and face each other directly in front of each other, or can sit down at the position B and work in different directions.

Further, for example, when the wiring 23 is provided under the floor in a vertical direction with respect to the room as shown by an imaginary line in FIG. 5, when the desk 1 is arranged obliquely with respect to the room as shown in FIG. The desk 1 crosses the wiring 23 under one of the desks 1 arranged in a line with the side edges 5 and 6 in contact with each other. Therefore, the line can be easily taken out from the intersection.

The present invention is not limited to the illustrated embodiments described above, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

[0021]

EFFECTS OF THE INVENTION Since the present invention is as described above, the top plate has a bent shape so as to surround the user, so that the user simply changes the direction of the chair,
You can reach over a wide area on the top. Therefore, the effective work range can be reasonably expanded as compared with the rectangular top plate having the same horizontal dimension and depth dimension. Further, even when the display is arranged on the top plate, the orientation of the display is relatively different depending on whether the display is placed in front of the rear side straight side portion or in front of the back side inclined side portion. It can be changed significantly. Therefore, it is possible to expand the possibility of avoiding the reflection of external light on the display or the like.

Moreover, the two desks can be arranged so as to face each other by bringing the inclined sides of the back side of the top plate into contact with or close to each other. And, each of these top plates is provided with substantially parallel side edges on the left and right sides, and since the rear side straight side portion is substantially orthogonal to that side edge, the pair of desks facing each other is left and right. Multiple sets can be arranged in a direction without a large gap. By thus arranging a plurality of desks facing each other, it is possible to use the space of an office or the like at a high density, and obtain an effect that is not provided by the conventional facing layout. That is, the desk of the present invention can be seated toward the rear side straight side portion or can be seated toward the rear side inclined side portion. Therefore, the person sitting on the facing desk can freely select one of the two optimal sitting positions by his / her own will. Therefore, those occupants can face each other in front of each other for conversation, or can work in different directions.
