DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a facing type desktop panel which is installed on a facing office desk so as not to hinder use of OA equipment and general office work.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Most office desk layouts in Japan are opposed to each other in which desks are arranged facing each other, and the size of a desk top plate is also limited.

In recent years, OA equipment such as a personal computer and a word processor has been remarkably popularized, and it has become common practice to install OA equipment on a general office desk to perform work.

[0004]

However, the above O
Although the size of the A device has been reduced in recent years, the CRT display is considerably large, and the space occupied when the device is set on a desk is large, and the empty space on the desk is significantly reduced. The problem that the space for the work is narrowed and it is difficult to work has surfaced.

On the other hand, since a CRT display emits a large amount of electromagnetic waves not only from the front display surface but also from the back surface, the CRT display is not only facing the electromagnetic waves radiated from the CRT display used by itself, but also on a desk facing the same. It has been pointed out that the CRT display is affected by electromagnetic waves, and in addition, there is a problem that a cooling air flows to a facing person.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above situation, the present invention expands the space for installing the OA equipment on the upper surface of the desk top plate with a simple structure, and allows the business using the OA equipment and the general office work to be performed without any support. An object of the present invention is to provide a foldable facing desktop panel that can be performed.

[0007] As a means for solving the problem, the present invention provides a front and rear facing portion which is parallel to the lateral width direction of the desk top plate and which is in a mating relationship with each other, a partitioning surface portion connecting the inner ends of these facing portions, and An outer surface for forming a concave portion between the partition surface and the partition surface at a right angle to the end; and forming the facing surface, the partition surface, and the outer surface so as to be freely foldable with each other so as to be used when not in use or during transportation. -When stored, it is not bulky as a flat shape,
In use, it can be used as a predetermined shape with a single touch.

[0008] In the folding structure, a hinge is foldably connected by a hinge at a position corresponding to a thickness of the outer surface portion from a side inner edge of the outer surface portion and an outer edge of the opposite surface portion. The inner end edge can be folded at a position corresponding to the thickness of the partition surface by a hinge having a support portion having a height corresponding to the thickness of the partition surface at a position corresponding to the thickness of the partition surface. When folded at each hinge, it is preferable that the outer side portion is sandwiched between the facing portion and the partitioning surface portion so that the outer side portion is folded flat so that it is folded into a more compact form.

The desktop panel 1 includes front and rear facing portions 3 and 3 which are parallel to each other in a lateral width direction of the desk top plate 2 and are in a mating relationship with each other, and a partitioning surface portion 4 which connects between inner ends of the facing portions 3 and 3. Outer surface portions 6 and 6 for forming concave portions 5 and 5 between the outer surface of each of the facing portions 3 and 3 and the partitioning surface portion 4, respectively. The surface portion 4 and the outer side surface portions 6, 6 are connected so as to fold over each other.

As shown in the folded state diagram of FIG. 2A, the above-mentioned connecting structure has the inner edges of the side ends 6a, 6a of the outer surface portions 6, 6 and the outer edges of the facing portions 3, 3. Edge 3a, 3
a is connected to a position corresponding to the thickness of the outer surface portions 6, 6 by hinges 7, 7 so as to be freely foldable, and the inner edges 3b, 3b of the facing portions 3, 3 have the thickness of the partition surface portion 4. Support portions 8 having a height equivalent to the thickness of the partition surface portion 4 are fixed to a position considerably apart from each other, and the front end of the support portions 8 and 8 and the end edges 4a of the partition surface portion 4 are separated from each other. Are connected to each other by hinges 9,9.

Therefore, when folded by these hinges 7, 7, 9, 9, as shown in FIG.
6 is folded so as to be in close contact with the facing portions 3 and 3, and the partition surface portion 4 is interposed between the outer surface portions 6 and 6 and is folded so as to be in close contact with each other. It is folded flat.

In order to make the use form shown in FIG. 1 from this state, as shown in FIG. 2B, by moving the outer side surfaces 6, 6 apart, the partition surfaces 4 are raised by the hinges 9, 9, and As shown in FIG. 2 (C), it stops at a right angle to the facing parts 3, 3. At this time, the hinges 9, 9 are located in the recesses 5, 5.

Next, if the outer surface portions 6, 6 are raised as shown in FIG. 2 (C), the outer surface portions 6, 6 become perpendicular to the facing portions 3, 3 and stop.
The hinges 7,7 are also located inside the recesses 5,5.

Therefore, since the hinges 7 and 9 are located in the recesses 5 and 5 used by the person facing the person, the OA equipment is hidden by placing the OA device in the recesses 5 and 5 and can be seen by the person facing the person. No hinges are visible on the outer surfaces of the facing parts 3 and 3, and the appearance is not impaired.

By mounting the desktop panel 1 developed as described above over the opposite ends of the desk top plates 2 and 2 arranged opposite to each other as shown in FIG. OA equipment (CRT) can be used by entering the recesses 5 and 5, for example, into the recesses 5 and 5, and the desk top plates 2 and 2 on the near side can be used.

Holes 12 are formed in the lower surfaces of the outer side surfaces 6 and 6 so that the fixing fittings 11 are fitted therein, and the holes 12 and 12 are fitted into the fixing fittings 11 so that the desktop panel 1 is formed.
Are placed on the desk top plates 2 and 2, the fixing brackets 11 and 1 are attached.
1, the shift movement of the desktop panel 1 can be prevented.

[0021]

As described above, according to the present invention, persons who face the desk top of a desk arranged opposite to each other can install and use OA equipment by using a part of the desk on the other side. Therefore, the upper surfaces of the desk top plate can be used effectively with each other, and this is extremely effective when shared with OA equipment and general office work.

Further, when the product is not used at the time of sale, storage or transportation, it is folded into a flat shape, so that it is not bulky and can be easily handled.

Further, with the connecting structure according to the second aspect, it is possible to use the device in a state where there is no gap between the respective surface portions, and since the hinge does not appear at all at the facing portion on the facing person side, the appearance is reduced. The beauty of the office can be maintained without any loss. Furthermore, at the time of folding, it can be folded to a minimum volume without producing a useless space, and it is possible to further bring about effects in transportation and storage.
