Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a combination desk including a main desk and a movable auxiliary table.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, in an office, a row of desks having a rectangular top plate and a large number of desks occupying a rectangular parallelepiped space in close contact with each other is arranged in an island-like manner by facing each other in the front-rear direction. By keeping the interval and arranging it in front and back,
It forms the work area for the team. In addition, in order to expand the work space on the desk, an auxiliary table such as a side desk may be disposed in close contact with the front edge of each desk in an L shape.

With the demand for improvement in intellectual productivity in the office, for example, a plurality of groups of teams may be formed for each project. Then, when one project is completed, this team is disbanded, and when another project is newly started, a team corresponding to this project is formed with a different team from before.

In such a case, in order to manage the team work most efficiently, it is necessary to arrange the person in charge for the adjacent work. Further, even within the same team, the adjoining opponents may be different due to the accidental change of work procedures and combinations. In some cases, a round table for the entire team may be required.

Further, depending on the contents of the work, it is not necessary to use the tabletop of the desk to its full size, but rather, only the auxiliary table is required to establish a close relationship with the adjacent desks. In some cases.

On the contrary, in some cases, the size of the main desk is not enough, and auxiliary tables may be arranged and used widely.
In this case, the auxiliary table has a lower top plate so that it can be stored under the main desk. Therefore, when the auxiliary tables are arranged next to the main desk, the usable area increases, but a step is generated between the auxiliary tables, which makes it difficult to use.

However, in a general desk, it is impossible to change the size of the tabletop, move the desk itself flexibly, or arrange the desks in a circle. The reason is that since it is a rectangular parallelepiped having no casters, a large weight, and four legs, it cannot be folded or stacked when used by a person. . Therefore, at the time of the meeting,
Often, a separate meeting room or meeting table is needed. The maintenance and storage of such spaces and furniture that are not frequently used are also wasteful.

In addition, a blindfold around the desk,
Alternatively, the partition and the like are often provided separately from the desk, and it is difficult for each person to freely adjust the height.

[0009]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention can be freely moved without using such a conventional rectangular parallelepiped desk, and can be flexibly changed according to the type and scale of work performed in an office. , The purpose is to obtain a combination desk that can change the layout, size and shape.

Another object of the present invention is to obtain a combination desk which can be made to have the same height as the main desk by changing the height of the top plate of the auxiliary table which can be stored under the main desk.

A further object of the present invention is to provide a combination desk having a partition capable of obtaining an optimum height for personal preference and work coordination.

[0012]

According to the present invention, the above-mentioned problem is solved as follows. (1) It has a substantially triangular top plate, its long sides are arcuate and curved inward, and the upper end of the pedestal is attached to the lower surface of the top plate near the apex position of the triangle. A main desk and a substantially triangular top plate, the long sides of which are arcuate and curved inward, and the casters are provided on the lower surface of the support legs fixed to the lower surface of the top plate. It consists of an auxiliary table.

(2) In the above item (1), the top plate of the auxiliary table is height-adjustable and is supported by the support legs.

(3) In the item (1) or (2) above, a blind panel is attached to the side edge of the main desk so that the height can be adjusted.

(4) In any one of the above items (1) to (3), casters are provided at the lower ends of the columns of the main desk to make the main desk movable.
