First, as shown in FIG. 1 , a human body support module 1 for a desk (hereinafter, simply referred to as a 'support module') includes an elastic member 10 and a pair of fixing members 20 and 30 .

The elastic member 10 is a part that comes into direct contact with the user's body (eg, stomach or chest) and may be made of an elastic material such as rubber or flexible plastic. The elastic member 10 is attached to the edge ED of the desk top plate DP to smooth the sharp edge ED of the desk top plate DP itself. The elastic member serves as a kind of cushion pad.

The pair of fixing members 20 and 30 are disposed at both ends of the elastic member 10 and press the elastic member 10 to the edge ED of the desk top plate DP in the second direction II to firmly fix it. let it The second direction II intersects the first direction I and is preferably orthogonal. The pair of fixing members 20 and 30 also have a shape that substantially matches the shape of the elastic member 10 in appearance, so that the sharp edge portion of the desk top plate itself is smoothly finished. In addition, the pair of fixing members 20 and 30 serve as a clip for fixing the elastic member 10 to the upper plate edge ED. The first fixing member 20 and the second fixing member 30 constituting the pair of fixing members 20 and 30 may be formed identically symmetrically from side to side. The same explanation can be applied for

Meanwhile, in the drawings, the length of the desk top plate DP (for example, the length in the first direction) is shown relatively short for convenience of explanation, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and the desk top plate DP constitutes a desk. As a main element, it may have an appropriate length suitable for the entire scale of the desk, and the support module installed on the edge of the top plate may also have an appropriate length in the first direction to gently treat the area in contact with the user's body.

The elastic member 10 extends along the edge ED of the desk top plate DP in the first direction I. As shown in Figure 4a, the elastic member 10 includes one end (e1) and the other end (e2), one end (e1) is the first fixing member 20, the other end (e2) is the second fixing member It can be received by 30 and fixed to the upper plate edge ED. Since the fixing to the edge ED of the upper plate is performed by a pair of fixing members 20 and 30, the elastic member 10 itself does not need to have any direct fixing components to the edge, but shown in FIG. 4B. As described above, the elastic member 10 has an edge counter portion 12 having a shape corresponding to the upper plate edge ED, an upper extension portion 13 extending from the upper and lower portions of the edge counter portion 12, and a lower extension portion 13, respectively. It may include the portion 14, and may have a structure in close contact with the upper plate edge ED through these parts. That is, the edge counter part 12, the upper extension part 13, and the lower extension part 14 are provided behind the base part 11 of the elastic member 10 and serve to grip the upper plate edge ED. can see. This increases the degree of adhesion between the support module and the edge of the upper plate, enabling more robust installation.

As shown in FIG. 3, the second fixing member 30, which is any one of the pair of fixing members 20 and 30, includes a body part 31, a first extension part 32 and a second extension part ( 33). The body part 31 has a receiving groove RH for accommodating the other end e2 of the elastic member 10 to a stopping position on one side. The receiving depth can be defined by the stopping position, and the outer wall 311 is involved. This will be described later. The first extension part 32 may extend from the upper part of the body part 31 in the second direction II and be fixed to the upper surface of the upper plate edge ED. The second extension part 33 may extend from the lower part of the body part 31 in the second direction II and be fixed to the lower surface of the upper plate edge ED. At this time, one or more fastening grooves 231 are formed in the second extension part 23, and the first extension is made by a separate fastening member (not shown) fixed to the lower surface of the edge of the upper plate through these fastening holes 231. The portion 32 and the second extension portion 33 may clip the upper plate edge ED. The fastening member (not shown) may be a screw bolt or the like generally used in office/home furniture.

Continuing to refer to FIGS. 2 and 3 , the body portion 31 of the second fixing member 30 includes an outer wall 311 , an upper flange 312 and a lower flange 313 . The outer wall 311 defines the external shape of the fixing member. The outer wall 311 stops the other end e2 of the elastic member 10 whose inner surface is accommodated in the receiving groove RH. That is, the other end of the elastic member may be in close contact with the inner surface of the outer wall.

As the upper flange 312 is connected to the upper portion of the outer wall 311 and the lower flange 313 is connected to the lower portion of the outer wall 311, the upper flange 312, the lower flange 313, and the outer wall 311 are formed in a predetermined manner. A space of the receiving groove (RH) is formed. The upper flange 312 and the lower flange 313 may be formed in a shape corresponding to the bird's beak shape extending in the second direction (II) of the elastic member 10, and thus the upper flange 312 and the lower flange 313 may be in close contact with the upper and lower portions of the elastic member 10.

That is, the outer wall, the upper flange, and the lower flange have a predetermined shape substantially consistent with the elastic member, thereby fixing the elastic member to the edge of the upper plate and simultaneously finishing the edge of the upper plate smoothly.

Referring to FIG. 5 , the second fixing member 30 partially accommodating the elastic member 10 fixes the elastic member 10 to the upper plate edge ED by pressing it in the second direction II. At this time, the elastic member 10 disposed in the second fixing member 30 grips the upper plate edge ED through the edge counter part 12, the upper extension part 13 and the lower extension part 14 can confirm. And, although it is shown in the drawing that a fine gap exists between the lower surface (bf_ED) of the edge of the upper plate and the second extension part 33, this means that a separate fastening member (not shown) penetrates the fastening hole 331 of the second extended part. Thus, the first extension part 32 and the second extension part 33 clip the upper plate edge ED. will do It can be seen that the elastic member primarily grips the edge of the top plate (primary grip) and secondarily the second fixing member clips the edge of the top plate (secondary clip).

As shown in FIG. 5 , note that the edge counter part 12 of the elastic member 10 and the tip e_ED of the edge ED of the upper plate are in surface contact with each other. In addition, the outer wall 311 is cut by a position corresponding to the width of the edge counter part 12 of the elastic member accommodated in the receiving groove (ie, the width in the second direction II) (OF, FIG. 3), so that the offset OF of the outer wall 311 may also make surface contact with the tip e_ED of the edge ED of the upper plate. This structure completely exposes the side edge lf_ED of the desk top plate to the outside of the second fixing member. Its side edges are exposed with no covered areas. This enables easier installation by allowing left and right deviation when the support module is installed on the desk top plate. If the structure is not exposed and the side edge (lf_ED) of the desk top plate is partially covered by the second fixing member, the size of the desk top plate is limited by the horizontal length of the support module. On the other hand, it is preferable that the cutting depth (cd, see FIG. 3) of the offset (OF) substantially coincides with the depth made by the width (de, see FIG. 5) of the edge counter part of the elastic member accommodated in the receiving groove, and more In the case of cutting, since the other end of the elastic member accommodated therein starts to be exposed to the outside, it is not preferable to cut too much. For example, in the case of wanting to cut more, it is appropriate to cut deeper within 1.5 mm than the depth made by the width (de) of the edge counter part of the elastic member accommodated in the receiving groove. This is because if the depth is cut to a depth greater than 1.5 mm, the elastic member is excessively exposed to the outside, and the appearance may not be good, and the corresponding part may be vulnerable to external contamination.

Meanwhile, it is as described above that the description of the second fixing member 30 described above can be equally applied to the first fixing member 20 .

In the above-described embodiment, the case where the edge of the desk top plate has a 'one' shape has been examined, and the case where the edge has a 'C' shape is also possible and will be described below. In the present invention, the 'c' shape refers to providing an empty space to enable installation of the support module by cutting a portion of the edge. At this time, the tip of the edge section along the first direction (I) is referred to as the middle edge (ec_ED, FIG. 6), and the tip of the edge section along the second direction (II) is referred to as the side edge (el_ED, FIG. 6). Accordingly, the elastic member 10 is in contact with the central tip ec_ED, and the fixing members 70 and 80 are in contact with the side tips el_ED on both sides, respectively. will be described later

As shown in FIG. 8, the second fixing member 70, which is any one of the pair of fixing members 60 and 70, includes a body part 71, a first extension part 72 and a second extension part ( 73). The body part 71 has an accommodation groove RH for accommodating one end e2 of the elastic member 10 by entering it to a stopping position. The receiving depth can be defined by the stopping position, and the inner wall 711 is involved. In the above-described embodiment, it is contrasted with the fact that the outer wall 311 was involved. This will be described later. The first extension part 72 may extend from the upper part of the body part 71 in the first direction I and be fixed to the upper surface of the upper plate edge ED. The second extension part 73 may extend from the lower part of the body part 71 in the first direction I and be fixed to the lower surface of the upper plate edge ED. At this time, one or more fastening grooves 731 are formed in the second extension part 73, and the first extension is made by a separate fastening member (not shown) fixed to the lower surface of the edge of the upper plate through the fastening hole 731. The portion 72 and the second extension portion 73 may clip the upper plate edge ED.

Continuing to refer to FIGS. 7 and 8 , the body portion 71 of the second fixing member 70 includes an inner wall 711 , an upper flange 712 and a lower flange 713 . The inner wall 711 spatially distinguishes the receiving groove RH and the extensions 72 and 73 from each other. It's kind of like a partition. The inner wall 711 stops the other end e2 of the elastic member 10 whose inner surface is accommodated in the receiving groove RH. That is, the other end of the elastic member may be in close contact with the inner surface of the inner wall.

As the upper flange 712 is connected to the upper portion of the inner wall 711 and the lower flange 713 is connected to the lower portion of the inner wall 711, the upper flange 712, the lower flange 713, and the outer wall 711 are formed in a predetermined manner. A space of the receiving groove (RH) is formed. The upper flange 712 and the lower flange 713 may be formed in a shape corresponding to the bird's beak shape extending in the second direction (II) of the elastic member 10, and thus the upper flange 712 and the lower flange 713 may be in close contact with the upper and lower portions of the elastic member 10.

That is, the inner wall, the upper flange, and the lower flange have a predetermined shape that substantially coincides with the elastic member, thereby fixing the elastic member to the edge of the upper plate and simultaneously finishing the edge of the upper plate smoothly.

And, as shown in FIG. 8, the upper flange 712 and the first extension part 72 are smoothly connected through the first transition part 74, and the lower flange 713 and the second extension part 73 are It is connected smoothly through the second transition part 75.

Referring to FIG. 9 , the second fixing member 70 partially accommodating the elastic member 10 presses and fixes the elastic member 10 to the edge ED of the upper plate in the first direction I.
