DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

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

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Various improvements have been made to desks up to the present day, but these improvements give a sense of quality, improve the storage efficiency of sleeves, secure wiring space, and the like. Most of the functions are related to the basic functions, and there is no major change in the basic functions. That is, a general desk that can be used in an opposed arrangement state in an office or the like has a rectangular top plate in a plan view.

[0003]

However, the rectangular top plate in plan view has a tendency that the left and right side edges near the non-use end are hard to reach and the effective working range is relatively narrow. In recent years, a display such as a computer is often used by placing it on a top plate. However, in a rectangular top plate, the range in which the arrangement direction can be changed tends to be limited to a narrow angle. For this reason, when external light or the like enters from behind the user, there is a problem that it is difficult to avoid reflection on the display.

[0004] In addition, when using a desk, it is difficult to calm down and continue working unless the user sits straight on the use end of the top plate. For this reason, the desk having the rectangular top plate has a straight use end, so that the optimal seating direction is limited to one direction. Therefore, when the conventional desks are arranged to face each other, the users of the butted desks face each other straight. This attitude is convenient when both parties communicate with each other, but some of the usual tasks emphasize privacy, and always working in the opposite attitude can be stressful. It could be.

The object of the present invention is to solve these problems.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention employs the following configuration. That is, the desk of the invention according to claim 1 of the present application has a top plate having substantially parallel sides on both left and right sides, and a back side right side substantially orthogonal to one side on the non-use end side. A rear side inclined side portion which is continuous with the rear side portion and is inclined in a direction surrounding the user and extends in the other side direction, and on the use end side of the top plate, A first front side right side portion orthogonal to the one side side, a front side slope side portion continuous with the front side right side portion and having the same length as the back side slope side portion; And a second front side right side portion which is continuous with the side portion and is orthogonal to the other side side. The desk of the invention according to claim 2 of the present application includes a top plate,
A desk comprising a leg for supporting the top plate, wherein the top plate is
It has sides that are substantially parallel to the left and right sides, and on the anti-use end side, a back side right side that is substantially perpendicular to one side, and is inclined in a direction that is continuous with the back side right side and surrounds the user. And a back side inclined side portion extending in the other side direction, and the used end side of the top plate is bent or curved in correspondence with the back side straight side portion and the back side inclined side portion. The back side inclined side and
The width of the top plate part surrounded by the front side inclined side at the end of use
By the right side portion on the back side and the right side portion on the front side on the use end side
It is larger than the width of the enclosed top plate part , and when two or more desks are arranged with their non-use end sides facing each other, the adjacent legs of the facing desks can be interconnected by beams. And

A typical example of the beam is a beam that is bent in the longitudinal direction corresponding to the shape of the top plate on the non-use end side. Furthermore, the desk of the invention according to claim 4 of the present application is characterized in that the top plate has substantially parallel sides on the left and right sides, and a back side right side substantially orthogonal to one side on the non-use end side. A rear side inclined side portion that is continuous with the back side right side portion and is inclined in a direction surrounding the user and extends in the other side direction. Bent or curved in accordance with the side right side portion and the back side inclined side portion, and the back side inclined side portion and the front side inclined side on the use end side.
Wherein the width of the top panel portion surrounded it by parts is greater than the width of the top panel portion surrounded by the front-side straight sides of the rear-side straight sides and use end.

[0008]

With such a structure, the top plate is bent so as to surround the user.
The user can reach over a wide area on the tabletop simply by changing the direction of the chair. Therefore, the effective working range can be expanded without difficulty compared to a rectangular top plate having the same horizontal dimension and depth dimension. Also, even if you arrange the display on the top plate,
The direction of the display can be changed relatively largely between the case where the display is placed in front of the back side right side portion and the case where the display is placed in front of the back side inclined side portion. Therefore, when external light or the like enters from behind the user, the possibility of avoiding reflection on a display or the like can be increased.

Further, according to such a configuration, two desks can be arranged to face each other by bringing the back-side inclined sides of the top plate into contact with or approaching each other. And
Each of the top plates has substantially parallel sides on both the left and right sides, and the back side right side is substantially orthogonal to the side. Multiple sets can be arranged without leaving a large gap. By arranging a plurality of desks facing each other as described above, it is possible to use a space such as an office at a high density, and to obtain an effect which is not provided by the conventional facing arrangement. That is, the desk of the present invention can be seated toward the back side straight side portion or the back side inclined side portion. Therefore, the person sitting on the opposite desk can freely select any one of the two types of optimal sitting positions on his / her own will. Therefore, those occupants can have a conversation or the like facing directly in front of each other, or can work in different directions.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One 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 beams 4 provided between the left and right legs 3.

The top plate 2 has sides 5 and 6 parallel to both the left and right sides, and the anti-use end side 2a has a first back side right side portion 7 orthogonal to the right side 5 and A backside sloped side 8 which is continuous with the backside straight side 7 and is inclined at, for example, 30 ° in a direction surrounding the user and extends in the left side 6 direction; And a second rear right side portion 9. The use end side 2b is bent to correspond to the first and second rear-side straight sides 7 and 9 and the rear-side inclined side 8, and a first front surface orthogonal to the right side 5 is provided. A front side sloped side 10 and a front side sloped side 1 continuous with the front side straight side 10 and parallel to the back side sloped side 8 and having the same length.
1 and a second front-side straight side portion 12 that is continuous with the front-side inclined side portion 11 and that is orthogonal to the left side 6. For example, 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 first front side right side portion 10 is provided with a first front surface. The length may be set to a length sufficient for sitting and working toward the side right side part 10, and for example, is preferably about 80 cm. In addition, the front-side inclined side portion 11 may be set to have, for example, the same effective length as that of a conventional one-sleeve desk when working at the use end side, and specifically, is preferably about 60 cm. Furthermore, if a length of about the width of the above-described wagon is set in the second front-side right side portion 12, an alternative place is provided when a wagon is not accommodated in the first front-side right side portion 10. It can be provided, for example, it may be set to about 43 cm. The depth dimension from the use end side 2b to the non-use end side 2a, that is, the distance between the opposing straight sides 7, 10, 9 and 12, respectively, reaches the non-use end side 2a in a state where the adult has his arm extended. The distance may be set to about, specifically, for example, 66 cm.

The leg 3 has a base portion 15 placed on the floor via an adjuster 14, a body portion 16 erected on the non-use end side 2a of the base portion 15, and an upper end of the body portion 16. And an arm 17 extending to the end 2b. The arm 17 supports the lower surface near the both sides 5, 6 of the top plate 2.

The beam 4 is composed of a rod having an elliptical vertical cross section, and is bent in the longitudinal direction corresponding to the shape of the non-use end side 2a of the top plate 2. Both ends are fixed to the back of the leg 3 near the upper end of the trunk 16.

In such a configuration, for example, the width 40
When a wagon or the like (not shown) of 1 cm is accommodated under the top plate 2, the wagon may be arranged below the first front side right side portion 10 or the second front side right side portion 12. It is possible. In particular, in the case of a right-handed user, if the wagon is arranged on the second front side right side 12 on the left side, the movable range of the chair can be set to the first range without greatly restricting the movable range of the chair. Corresponds to the entire length of the front-side straight side portion 10 and the front-side inclined side portion 11, and the user can easily change the seating position.

Also, since the top 2 is bent so as to surround the user, the user can reach over a wide area on the top 2 only by changing the direction of the chair. It becomes possible. Therefore, compared with a rectangular top plate having the same horizontal dimension and depth dimension, the ergonomically accessible range is expanded, and the effective working range is expanded. A display (not shown) is provided on the top plate 2.
In the case where the display device is disposed, the orientation of the display is relatively largely changed between when the display device is placed in front of the first back side right side portion 7 and when the display device is placed in front of the back side inclined side portion 8. can do. Therefore, the possibility that external light can be prevented from being reflected on a display or the like can be increased.

As shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, the desk 1 having such a structure is arranged such that two desks 1 are opposed to each other by bringing the back side inclined sides 8 of the top plate 2 into contact with each other. Can be. Each of the top plates 2 has sides 5 and 6 parallel to the left and right sides, and the first and second back side straight sides 7 and 9 are orthogonal to the sides 5 and 6. Therefore, a plurality of pairs of desks 1 facing each other can be arranged in the left-right direction without leaving a large gap. In that case, one beam 19 is shared between the first back side right side portions 7 of the desks 1 facing each other, and the back side inclined side portions 8 are further shared.
One beam 20 is shared between 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 that are arranged to face each other, and also connect the adjacent desks 1 that contact the sides 5 and 6. Further, as shown in FIG. 4, a channel-shaped gutter 21 that opens upward has one edge fixed to the lower surface near the non-use end side 2a of the top plate 2 of one desk, and the other edge facing the other edge. It is arranged so as to be located under the top plate 2 of the desk 1. The gutter 21 is for wiring below 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 with the non-use end side 2a facing 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 before reaching the right end of the opposing desk row DL, so a desk 22 having a top plate 24 having a rectangular shape in a plan view is arranged. By doing so, the area of the top plate can be increased without protruding the occupied area of the desks 1 arranged oppositely, so that the space such as an office can be used at a high density and the conventional opposed arrangements do not exist. 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. It is. Therefore, the person sitting on the opposite desk 1 can freely select one of the two types of optimal sitting positions with his / her own intention. Therefore, these occupants can sit at the position A and face to face in front of each other for conversation or the like, or they can sit at the position B and perform their duties in different directions.

For example, when the wiring 23 is arranged vertically below the floor as shown by an imaginary line in FIG. 5 and the desk 1 is arranged obliquely with respect to the room as shown in FIG. The desk 1 intersects the wiring 23 under one of the desks 1 arranged in a line with the sides 5 and 6 abutting each other. Therefore, a line can be easily extracted from the intersection.

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

[0021]

The present invention is as described above, so that the top plate is bent so as to surround the user, so that the user only has to change the direction of the chair.
You can reach for a wide area on the top plate. Therefore, the effective working range can be expanded without difficulty compared to a rectangular top plate having the same horizontal dimension and depth dimension. In addition, even when the display is arranged on the top plate, the orientation of the display is relatively different between the case where the display is placed in front of the back side right side and the case where the display is placed in front of the back side inclined side. Can be changed significantly. Therefore, the possibility that external light can be prevented from being reflected on a display or the like can be increased.

Further, two desks can be arranged to face each other by bringing the back-side inclined sides of the top plate into contact with or near each other. Each of these top plates has substantially parallel sides on both the left and right sides, and the right side on the back side is substantially orthogonal to the sides. A plurality of sets in the direction can be arranged without leaving a large gap. By arranging a plurality of desks facing each other as described above, it is possible to use a space such as an office at a high density, and to obtain an effect which is not provided by the conventional facing arrangement. That is, the desk of the present invention can be seated toward the back side straight side portion or the back side inclined side portion. Therefore, the person sitting on the opposite desk can freely select any one of the two types of optimal sitting positions on his / her own will. Therefore, those occupants can have a conversation or the like facing directly in front of each other, or can work in different directions.
