Description

  The present invention relates to a desk system that includes a desk capable of raising and lowering a top plate and storage furniture, is excellent in usability, and can improve work efficiency.

  Conventionally, a large number of desks capable of raising and lowering the top plate have been disclosed (for example, see Patent Document 1). Many of these are intended to improve the convenience of the user by changing the height of the top plate mainly in accordance with the height and sitting height of the seated person.

  Furthermore, in recent years, desks that can work in an upright position have been proposed as long-term work in a sitting position adversely affects health. The work in such a standing posture improves the work of the head, and there is a thought that the efficiency of work can be achieved by utilizing it for meetings and the like. However, in work such as document creation, it is said that the conventional sitting posture makes it easier to collect ideas, and there is a suitable posture depending on the work content. Furthermore, it is expected that the body is activated by frequently switching between the sitting posture and the standing posture, leading to health promotion and work efficiency. Therefore, it is conceivable to expand the range of the desk top plate that has been mainly used in the sitting posture until now, so as to correspond from the sitting posture to the standing posture.

  On the other hand, desks are often used in combination with storage furniture such as wagons and storage shelves, and many desk systems that can be used conveniently by combining them have been proposed. For example, the one described in Patent Document 2 can extend the work space on the desk by pulling out the wagon placed under the desk and placing it on the side of the desk and raising the top plate on the top of the wagon. It has become. In this way, the usage pattern can be changed according to the situation and used for various purposes.

  As mentioned above, by allowing the desk top plate to be raised and lowered from the sitting posture to the standing posture, the user can use the height of the top plate according to the mood and situation, and work efficiency can be improved. It will be possible to increase.

  However, with only such a configuration, it is not only possible to obtain an effect by changing the posture of the worker, but it is difficult to expand the function as a desk.

  Therefore, it is conceivable to improve usability as a desk system that combines a desk equipped with a lifting table and storage furniture. However, for example, in the case of a configuration in which a wagon is placed under the top plate as in Patent Document 2, it is necessary to make the height of the wagon smaller than the minimum height of the top plate. There is a limit and the storage capacity is small. In addition, when the top plate is raised, there is a space between the top plate and the upper surface of the wagon, and the space cannot be used effectively. Furthermore, in order to expand the work space on the desk, it is necessary to move and adjust the position of the wagon, which is troublesome, and the space on the side of the desk must be kept open at all times. It is also difficult to make effective use of.

  An object of the present invention is to effectively solve such problems. Specifically, while effectively utilizing the space, the storage capacity is increased and the work space is easily expanded according to the situation. The purpose is to provide a desk system that can contribute to work efficiency.

  In order to achieve this object, the present invention takes the following measures.

  That is, the desk system of the present invention is a desk system that includes a desk that supports the top plate so that it can be raised and lowered with respect to the main body, and storage furniture that is disposed adjacent to or close to the side of the desk, The top plate can be moved up and down at least between a sitting use position corresponding to use in a sitting posture and a standing use position corresponding to use in a standing posture. In any one of the position use positions, the height is substantially the same as any shelf of the storage furniture, and the top plate and the top surface of the storage furniture shelf are substantially flush with each other.

  Here, “substantially the same height” includes those that are slightly shifted in the height direction in addition to those that are completely the same in height. Similarly, “substantially flush” includes a state where there is a slight shift in the height direction in addition to a completely flush state.

  With this configuration, the seating posture and the standing posture can be changed by changing the height of the top plate between the sitting position and the standing position while using a desk system that combines the desk and the storage furniture. In any case, the top plate can be suitably used, and the work can be performed while appropriately changing the posture according to the mood and situation of the user. Therefore, the work can be made more efficient. Furthermore, by placing the storage furniture on the side of the desk, the height of the storage furniture can be increased to increase the storage capacity, and the top plate can be placed in either the sitting position or the standing position. The top plate has the same height as any shelf of the storage furniture, and the top plate and the top surface of the storage furniture shelf are substantially flush with each other. Can be used. Therefore, it is possible to easily expand the work area on the top board as needed while effectively utilizing the space, and to improve work efficiency.

  Furthermore, when the height of the top board is changed to the standing use position, in order to obtain a wide work space by expanding the work space in the standing posture, the storage furniture is used as the shelf at the top. The top plate and the top plate have substantially the same height by placing the top plate in a standing use position, and the top plate and the top surface of the storage furniture shelf are substantially flush with each other. It is preferable to be configured so as to be connected to.

  In addition, when the height of the top plate is changed to the sitting position, the storage furniture is open on the side to expand the working space in the sitting posture and obtain a wide working space. By setting the top plate to the sitting position, the top plate and the shelf have substantially the same height, and a continuous space that extends over the top plate and the top surface side of the shelf is formed. Is preferred.

  Further, in order to facilitate access to the interior of the storage furniture and to make it easier to use the top of the shelf as a work space, the storage furniture is further opened to the use edge side of the top plate. It is preferable to configure.

  In order to make it easier to access the interior of the storage furniture from below the top plate, the desk is opened toward the side where the storage furniture is arranged at least in the space under the top plate. It is suitable to be configured as

  Furthermore, when placing the same shape of the top plate facing each other, without changing the user-friendliness of the top plate, in order to make it easier to communicate across the top plate by bringing the use edges closer together, The top plate is provided with a slanted edge that diagonally connects the counter-use edge and the side edge in plan view. By arranging the slanted edges of another top plate of the same shape to face each other, It is preferable that the top plate be configured to be substantially continuous.

  According to the present invention described above, the storage capacity is improved while effectively utilizing the space, and the work space can be easily expanded according to the mood and situation of the worker, thereby realizing the work efficiency. It is possible to provide a desk system that can be used.

<First Embodiment>

  FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a desk system DS1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention. The desk system DS1 includes four sets of the desk 1 and the storage furniture 2, and includes two panels 3 and 3 arranged between the opposing desks 1 and 1. This figure shows a state where the top plate 11 of each desk 1 is in a sitting position use position P1, which will be described later.

  Here, when the direction is described below, the depth direction (X direction in the figure), the width direction (Y direction in the figure), and the height direction (Z direction in the figure) are centered on the desk 1. Set and use these terms.

  FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing a state in which each component of the desk system DS1 is separated. As described above, the desks 1 to 1, the storage furniture 2 to 2, and the panels 3 and 3 are separable from each other and can be independent independently. The storage furniture 2 is configured as a storage shelf and includes a plurality of shelves 21, 24, 25. Here, the shelves 21, 24, 25 have a plane on which an article can be placed on the upper surface, and in addition to the shelf plate 24, a bottom plate (not shown) and a top portion constituting the base of the storage furniture 2. The top plate 25 which comprises is also included.

  FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing a state where the top plate 11 of each desk 1 is set to a standing use position P2, which will be described later, based on the state of FIG. As described above, the top plate 11 of each desk can be changed to different heights including the sitting use position P1 and the standing use position P2.

  FIG. 4 is a plan view of the desk system DS1. When viewed from the use edge 11 a side of the top plate 11, the storage furniture 2 is arranged side by side on the left side of each desk 1. The storage furniture 2 has a width direction that is ¼ to ３ that of the top plate 11 of the desk 1, and a depth direction that is the same as the top plate 11. Then, the storage furniture 2 is disposed adjacent to the desk 1, so that the desk 1 and the storage furniture 2 form a substantially continuous straight line on the use edge 11a side and the counter-use edge 11b side in plan view. Note that it is not essential that the storage furniture 2 is adjacent to the desk 1, and the desk furniture 1 may be arranged so as to be close to each other with a predetermined interval.

  Such a desk 1 and storage furniture 2 are paired, and two sets of these are arranged side by side in the width direction. Further, the desk 1 and the storage furniture 2 that are in different pairs with the front and back reversed are arranged on the side of the counter-use edge 11b of the desk 1 and the storage furniture 2 that make each pair. By doing so, a so-called island-shaped arrangement is formed in which a rectangular island is configured in plan view by the four sets of desks 1 and storage furniture 2. The opposing desks 1 and 1 are set so that a part of the counter-use edges 11b, specifically, a range of about 2/3 to 3/4 are opposed to each other, so that the desks 1 and 1 are slightly inclined. It is trying to face. Therefore, it is possible to avoid the users sitting on the opposing desks 1 and 1 from entering each other's field of view, and it is possible to tackle the work with higher concentration without being influenced by the outside.

  In addition, a flat panel 3 is provided between the desk 1 and the storage furniture 2 that form an opposing pair. The dimension of the panel 3 in the width direction (Y direction in the figure) is set to be equal to the sum of the dimensions of the desk 1 and the storage furniture 2 in the width direction.

  This desk system DS1 is composed of four sets of desks 1 and storage furniture 2 as described above. Of course, more desks 1, storage furniture 2 and panels 3 are arranged to form a larger island. can do. In contrast, the island can be made smaller, and the desk system DS1 can be configured by using the desk 1, the storage furniture 2, and the panel 3 one by one.

  FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing an example in which the desk system DS1 is configured as a minimum unit desk unit DU1. In other words, using this desk unit DU1 as a basic unit, if you want to enlarge the island on the counter-use edge 11b side, add the desk 1 and storage furniture 2 to face each other, and if you want to enlarge the island in the width direction, it is necessary. The desk unit DU1 is added by the amount.

  Hereinafter, a specific structure of the desk 1, the storage furniture 2, and the panel 3 constituting the desk unit DU1, which is the minimum unit of the desk system DS1, will be described with reference to FIG.

  The desk 1 includes a top plate 11 and a main body 14 for supporting the top plate 11, and the top plate 11 is positioned between a sitting use position P1 and a standing use position P2 (see FIG. 6) described later. The height of the top plate 11 can be largely changed.

  The top plate 11 is configured in a flat plate shape having a substantially rectangular shape in plan view, and the use edge 11a and the counter-use edge 11b form a straight line extending in the width direction (Y direction), and the right edge 11c and the left edge 11d forms a straight line extending in the depth direction (X direction). Further, an edge member (not shown) having elasticity is attached to the use edge 11a, the counter use edge 11b, and the side edges 11c and 11d, and each edge is rounded so as to be smooth. .

  The main body 14 extends in the width direction so as to connect a pair of front and rear legs 15, 15 having a prismatic shape extending in the front-rear direction and the rear side of each front-rear leg 15, that is, the counter-use edge 11 b side in the top plate 11. The plate-like base 16 and the raising / lowering means 17 rising from the vicinity of the center of the base 16 in the width direction are configured. Adjusters 15a and 15a are respectively attached to the front lower surface and the rear lower surface of each of the front and rear legs 15, and the height and inclination can be adjusted by using these adjusters.

  The base 16 and the front and rear legs 15 are integrally formed in a U shape in plan view, and the use edge 11a side is opened so as not to interfere with the legs of the user who is seated. Further, the height of the base 16 and the front and rear legs 15 is kept small, and the lower limb space LS, which is the space below the top board 11, is not only on the use edge 11a side, but also on the opposite use edge 11b side and both side edges 11c. , 11d side is also largely open. The front and rear legs 15 are parallel to the side edges 11 c and 11 d of the top plate 11, and the interval between the outer surfaces 15 b facing outward in the width direction is substantially the same as the width direction dimension of the top plate 11. . Furthermore, since the outer surface 15b of each front and rear leg 15 is in a position where it overlaps with the side edges 11c and 11d of the top plate 11 in a plan view, by positioning the front and rear legs 15 when installing the desk 1, The top plate 11 can be naturally aligned.

  The elevating means 17 is installed on the base 16 and has a first support column 41 having an internal space (not shown) opened upward, and a lower end is inserted into the internal space and an upper end is formed on the lower surface 12 of the top plate 11. The first support column 41 and the second support column 42 are provided with a gas spring (not shown) (not shown). When the gas spring expands and contracts, the second support post 42 moves up and down with respect to the first support post 41, and the top plate 11 can be moved up and down steplessly.

  The top plate 11 is supported so as to be parallel to the front and rear legs 15 via the elevating means 17, and the horizontal state is maintained when the front and rear legs 15 are installed on a horizontal floor surface. It can be moved up and down by the lifting means 17 as it is.

  FIG. 7 is an enlarged perspective view of a main part viewed from the lower surface 12 side of the top plate 11. As shown in this figure, a lever 43 is provided at a position near the use edge 11 a of the lower surface 12 of the top plate 11. The lever 43 is rotatable about a rotation axis set on the base end 43a side, and is lifted by the lifting means via the wire 44 extending from the base end 43a side by rotating with the operation end 43b. The operation of the gas spring that constitutes 17 can be performed. Specifically, when the operation end 43b of the lever 43 faces the counter-use edge 11b, the lock is applied, and the top plate 11 cannot be lifted or lowered by the lifting means 17 because the cylinder provided in the gas spring is closed. It becomes. Further, by releasing the lock from this state and rotating the operation end 43b of the lever 43 toward the use edge 11a, the inside of the cylinder of the gas spring is opened, so that the top plate 11 by the elevating means 17 is opened. Can be moved up and down. In addition, if the opening amount changing mechanism for changing the opening amount when the inside of the cylinder of the gas spring is opened, the resistance force required to raise and lower the top plate 11 can be changed. It can also be used to balance the weight of the article placed on the plate 11, which is preferable.

  Such lifting means 17 for raising and lowering the top plate 11 is not limited to the one using a gas spring, but can be a structure using a spring or a pulley or a structure using both of them, depending on the application and design. It can be changed as appropriate. Further, an electric lifting mechanism may be incorporated so that the top plate 11 can be lifted or lowered only by operating a button.

  Returning to FIG. 5, the storage furniture 2 has a rectangular parallelepiped box portion 21 whose longitudinal direction is set to the depth direction (X direction), and a plate-like shape standing along the left side surface 21 b of the box portion 21. The upper end 23a of the side wall 23, which is the uppermost part of the storage furniture 2, is provided with a plate-like top plate 25 provided so as to extend toward the right side, and the upper surface of the box body 21. A plate-like shelf 24 is provided between 21 c and the top plate 25. The top plate 25, the shelf plate 24, and the upper surface 21c of the box portion 21 constitute the above-described shelf for placing articles.

  The box portion 21 is provided with a rectangular opening 21e on the front surface, and a drawer 22 is attached to the inside of the box body 21. The drawer 22 is pulled out to the use edge 11a side of the top plate 11 to thereby store an internal storage space. SS can be opened. In the present embodiment, the lower surface 21d (see FIG. 6) of the box portion 21 is installed in contact with the floor surface, but it may be configured to be movable by providing a caster or the like.

  A pair of metal rail members 26 extending in the vertical direction are provided on the inner surface 23b of the side wall portion 23 so as to be spaced apart from each other in the depth direction. The rail member 26 is provided with a plurality of engagement holes 26a at equal pitches in the vertical direction. A pair of hook-shaped engagement pieces (not shown) corresponding to the engagement holes 26a are provided at the ends of the shelf plate 24 and the top plate 25 facing the side wall portions 23, respectively. By engaging with the engagement hole 26 having such a height, the shelf plate 24 and the top plate 25 can be attached to the side wall portion 23 in a cantilever manner. And the height of the shelf board 24 and the top board 25 can be changed by changing the engagement hole 26 engaged. Therefore, the top plate 25 can be attached not only to the upper end 23a of the side wall portion 23 but also to a position lower than the upper end 23a.

  The storage furniture 2 is configured such that the upper surface 21c, the shelf plate 24, and the top plate 25 are parallel to the lower surface 21d of the box portion 21, and when the lower surface 21d is installed on a horizontal floor surface, the upper surface 21c. The shelf plate 24 and the top plate 25 are substantially horizontal. By arranging the desk 1 and the storage furniture 2 together on the same floor surface, the top plate 11 of the desk 1, the upper surface 21c, the shelf plate 24, and the top plate 25 can be made parallel.

  Further, the width direction dimensions of the shelf plate 24 and the top plate 25 are set smaller than the width direction dimension of the box body portion 21 of the storage furniture 2, and the right side surface 21 b of the box body portion 21 is set to the front and rear legs 15 of the desk 1. , A predetermined gap G (see FIG. 6) is formed between the top plate 11 and the shelf plate 24 and between the top plate 11 and the top plate 25, respectively. ing. Furthermore, the depth direction dimensions of the shelf plate 24 and the top plate 25 of the storage furniture 2 are set to be the same as those of the top plate 11 of the desk 1, and the front edge and the rear edge of each of the storage furniture 2 are used edges 11 a of the top plate 11 in plan view. And it arrange | positions so that the same straight line as the counter-use edge 11b may be made.

  In addition, the shelf 24 and the top plate 25 have the edges 24b and 25b on the use edge 11b side of the top plate 11 and the edges 24c and 25c on the top plate 11 side opened continuously, and between these, Since no corner posts are provided, the space above and below the shelf 24 is opened in the direction toward the use edge 11a of the top plate 11 and is opened toward the desk 1 side. Therefore, by raising and lowering the top plate 11, it is possible to make the upper and lower work spaces WS and lower limb spaces LS of the top plate 11 continuous with the upper and lower spaces of the shelf plate 24 and the top plate 25, and both are uncomfortable. It is possible to use it integrally.

  The panel 3 described above is provided upright on the side of the storage furniture 2 and the counter-use edge 11 b of the desk 1.

  The panel 3 is formed in a flat plate shape, and a pair of substantially L-shaped support legs 31 (see FIG. 2) are provided at the lower ends of both the front and back surfaces so as to be separated in the width direction (Y direction). The panel 3 can be self-supported by the support legs 31, but the panel 3 is supported without using the support legs 31 by being sandwiched between the desks 1 and 1 and the storage furniture 2 and 2 arranged in the depth direction. Also good. Note that the shape of the support leg 31 may be appropriately changed as long as the panel 3 can be appropriately held in a standing state.

  The panel 3 has a rectangular shape. When viewed from the use edge 11a side of the top plate 11, the right side edge 3c substantially coincides with the position of the right side edge 11c of the top plate 11 of the desk 1, and the left side edge 3d is the storage furniture 2. This substantially coincides with the outer surface 23c of the side wall portion 23. And the upper edge 3a used as an upper end is substantially corresponded with the upper end 23a of the side wall part 23 of the storage furniture 2 by making the lower edge 3b contact | abut to a floor surface.

  FIG. 6 is a front view of the desk unit DU1 configured as described above. In this figure, the panel 3 (see FIG. 5) is omitted. The top plate 11 of the desk 1 can be moved up and down by operating the lever 43, and can be changed to the sitting position P1 and the standing position P2 as shown in the figure.

  Here, the concept of the sitting position P1 and the standing position P2 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 8 is a side view schematically showing a case in which the top plates 11 and 11 of the desks 1 and 1 arranged opposite to each other are respectively changed to the sitting position use position P1 and the standing position use position P2. In this figure, the storage furniture 2 (see FIG. 5) is omitted.

  The sitting position use position P1 indicates a position corresponding to the sitting posture, that is, a position suitable for using the top board 11 by the seated user M1 described on the left side in the drawing. More specifically, the sitting posture refers to a posture in which the user M1 sits on a chair with his knees bent substantially at right angles while putting the soles of the feet on the floor and stretched his back. Further, the position suitable for using the top board 11 by the seated user M1 is that when an adult with an average physique takes a sitting posture, the upper arm is lowered almost vertically and the elbow is almost perpendicular. It refers to the position where the hand gets on the top board 11 by bending. The height H1 of the top plate 11 serving as the sitting position use position P1 is preferably set to 650 mm or more and 750 mm or less, and more preferably 700 mm or more and 750 mm or less.

  The standing use position P2 refers to a position corresponding to the standing posture, that is, a position suitable for using the top board 11 by the standing user M2 described on the right side in the drawing. More specifically, the standing posture refers to a posture in which the user M2 stands substantially vertically with his soles on the floor. Furthermore, the position suitable for using the top board 11 by the standing user M2 is such that when an adult with an average physique takes a standing posture, the position is slightly below the chest of the person. The position, in other words, the position where the person lowers the upper arm substantially vertically and bends the elbow substantially at a right angle so that the hand rides on the top board 11 or a position slightly higher than the position. The height H2 of the top plate 11 serving as the standing use position P2 is preferably set to 1000 mm or more and 1200 mm or less, more preferably 1100 mm or more and 1200 mm or less.

  In this embodiment, the upper end of the range in which the top plate 11 can be raised and lowered is the sitting position use position P1, and the lower end is the standing position use position P2, but by changing the raising and lowering range of the top plate 11, the sitting position use position P1 can be lowered to a lower position, or can be set to be able to rise to a position higher than the standing use position P2. By carrying out like this, according to a user's physique, the top plate 11 can also be set and used in the height different from the sitting position use position P1 and the standing position use position P2.

  Returning to FIG. 6, the height dimension Hs of the shelf 24 from the floor surface is set to be the same as the height dimension H1 when the top plate 11 of the desk 1 is set to the sitting position P1. In this way, when the top plate 11 is set to the sitting position P1, the upper surface 13 of the top plate 11 and the upper surface 24a of the shelf plate 24 are flush with each other, and the article is placed between the shelf plate 24 and the top plate 11. It can be easily moved. Further, since the shelf space US1 above the shelf plate 24 is opened to the top plate 11 side, the shelf plate 24 can also be used as an extended top plate that is continuous with the top plate 11. The work space WS and the shelf space US1 can be used as one continuous space CS1 to improve work efficiency. Furthermore, since the space above the shelf plate 24 is also opened to the use edge 11a side of the top plate 11, it is possible to enhance the above-described effects and improve usability.

  On the other hand, the height dimension Ht from the floor surface of the top plate 25 is set to be the same as the height dimension H2 when the top plate 11 of the desk 1 is set to the sitting position P2. Thus, when the top plate 11 is set to the sitting position P2, the upper surface 13 of the top plate 11 and the upper surface 25a of the top plate 25 are flush with each other, and the article can be easily placed between the top plate 25 and the top plate 11. It can be moved. By carrying out like this, the top plate 25 can also be utilized as an extended top plate which continues with the top plate 11, and it can be used as one high table. That is, work efficiency can be improved by using the work space WS on the top plate 11 and the shelf space US2 above the top plate 25 as one continuous space CS2.

  Further, as described above, the shelf plate 24 and the top plate 25 are made smaller in the width direction size than the box body portion 21 so that a predetermined gap G is formed between the side edge 11d of the top plate 11. Therefore, even when the top plate 11 is moved up and down, objects are not sandwiched between the top plate 11 and the elevation is not hindered.

  Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 8, when the top plate 11 is set to the sitting position P <b> 1, the panel 3 is continuous from the top to the bottom of the top plate 11, and the work space above the top plate 11. WS and the lower leg space LS are shielded by the panel 3 from the counter-use edge 11b side. That is, the panel 3 has a so-called desktop panel and a function as a curtain. Therefore, when the user M1 is seated toward the desk 1, the operation of the person on the side of the counter-use edge 11b is not disturbed, and the work can be concentrated. Note that the state in which the panel 3 is made continuous from the upper side to the lower side of the top plate 11 is not only when the top plate 11 is set to the sitting position P1 but also when the top plate 11 is moved from the standing position P2. It can be realized within a wide range of raising and lowering.

  At this time, the work space WS above the top plate 11 and the lower leg space LS below the top plate 11 are also shielded from the side by the storage furniture 2, so that the person sitting on the adjacent desk 1 or the like It is possible to concentrate on the work without being disturbed by the movement of the person.

  FIG. 9 is a perspective view of a desk system DS2 according to the second embodiment of the present invention. As in the first embodiment, the desk system DS2 includes four sets of desks 101 and storage furniture 102, and two panels 103 and 103 arranged between the opposing desks 101 and 101. Although the shapes of the desk 101, the storage furniture 102, and the panel 103 are different from each other, the first embodiment is common in that these are arranged in an island shape. Therefore, the same parts as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof is omitted.

  The top plate 111 of each desk 101 can be moved up and down as in the first embodiment, and this figure shows a state in which each top plate 111 is set to the sitting position use position P1.

  FIG. 10 is a perspective view showing a state where the components of the desk system DS2 are separated. As described above, the desks 101 to 101, the storage furniture 102 to 102, and the panels 103 and 103 are separable from each other and can stand alone.

  FIG. 11 is a perspective view showing a state in which the top plate 111 of each desk 101 is set to a standing use position P2, which will be described later, based on the state of FIG. Thus, also in the desk system DS2 of this embodiment, it is possible to change the top plate 11 of each desk steplessly to different heights including the sitting use position P1 and the standing use position P2. ing.

  FIG. 12 is a plan view of the desk system DS2. The top plate 111 of each desk 101 is formed in a hexagonal shape in plan view, and a use edge 111a close to a seated person extends linearly along the width direction (Y direction) and is parallel to the use edge 111a. The counter-use edge 111b is formed to extend linearly. Furthermore, the right edge 111c and the left edge 111d extending in the depth direction (X direction) are linearly formed at both ends of the use edge 111a, and the side edges 111c and 111d and the counter use edge 111b are Are connected by inclined edges 111e and 111f inclined at about 45 °. By doing so, the top plate 111 has a shape in which corners formed by the counter-use edge 111b and both side edges 111c and 111d are cut off, and is narrowed in the width direction near the counter-use edge 111b. It has a shape. Depending on the size of the top plate 111, the angle between the oblique edges 111e and 111f and the width direction and the depth direction may be changed from 45 °.

  By adopting such a shape of the top plate 111, although the area of the top plate 111 is reduced, the area that tends to become a relatively dead space far from the user side is cut off, so for the user The usability does not change that much.

  Storage furniture 102 is arranged side by side on the left side of each desk 101. The storage furniture 102 has the same depth as the side edges 111c and 111d of the top plate 111 in plan view, and is provided adjacent to the left side edge 111c. By doing so, the storage furniture 102 forms a substantially continuous straight line with the use edge 111a of the top plate 111 in plan view. Moreover, the width direction dimension of the storage furniture 102 is also set to be substantially the same as the depth direction dimension, and is substantially square in plan view. Furthermore, the dimension in the width direction of the storage furniture 102 is substantially the same as the length of the counter-use edge 111 b of the top plate 111.

  Two such sets of desks 101 and storage furniture 102 are arranged side by side in the width direction, and the opposite sides 11b of the desk 101 and the storage furniture 102 that form each pair are The desk 101 and the storage furniture 102, which are in different sets that are reversed, are arranged so as to face each other. Specifically, the four desks 101 are arranged diagonally opposite such that the oblique edges 111e and 111e or the oblique edges 111f and 111f face each other, whereby the opposing desks 101 and 101 are opposed to each other. The use edges 111a and 111a can be brought closer to each other.

  From a different perspective on such an arrangement, the top plate 111 of the four desks 101 is formed with the oblique edges 111e and 111f by cutting the dead space at the corner on the counter-use edge 111b side, and these oblique edges 111e and 111f. By arranging each other so as to face each other, the use edges 111a and 111a are close to each other and are closely arranged. Furthermore, by arranging the oblique edges 111e and 111f to face each other, the storage furniture 102 is arranged in the space generated between the side edges 111c and 111d of the top plates 111 and 111 adjacent in the width direction, thereby making the space more effective. It can be used.

  A panel 103 is provided between the opposing desks 101 and 101.

  FIG. 13 is a perspective view showing an example in which the minimum unit desk unit DU2 is extracted from the desk system DS2. Hereinafter, the specific structure of each component will be described in detail with reference to this figure.

  The desk 101 includes a top plate 111 and a main body 114 for supporting the top plate 111. By using the main body 114, the top plate 111 can be raised and lowered to a sitting position P1 and a standing position P2.

  The top plate 111 is configured in a flat plate shape having a hexagonal shape in plan view, and the main body 114 for supporting the top plate 111 has a right edge 111c, a right oblique edge 111e, a counter-use edge 111b, and a left oblique edge 111f. , And a support leg 115 having a shape along the left edge 111d, and an elevating means 17 erected from the vicinity of the center thereof.

  The support leg 115 has a small height dimension, and the lower limb space LS below the top plate 111 is open to both sides and the use edge 111a side as in the first embodiment. Further, the width direction outer surface 115a of the support leg 115 is positioned so as to overlap the side edges 111c and 111d of the top plate 111 in plan view.

  The top plate 111 is supported so as to be substantially parallel to the support legs 115 via the elevating means 17, and the horizontal state is maintained when the support legs 115 are installed on a horizontal floor surface. It can be lifted up and down by the lifting and lowering means 17 as it is.

  The storage furniture 102 includes a box part 121, a drawer 122, a side wall part 123, a shelf board 124, and a top board 125, as in the storage furniture 2 (see FIG. 5) of the first embodiment, but in the depth direction (X direction). ) Is set small, and is greatly different in that a back wall 126 is provided on the back side of the box body 21. Further, the shelf plate 124 and the top plate 125 each constitute a shelf for placing an article and are fixed so that the height cannot be changed, but the height is the same as in the first embodiment. It does not matter if it can be changed.

  The shelf board 124 and the top board 125 of the storage furniture 102 are parallel to the top board 111 as in the case of the first embodiment, and the height of the top board 111 is changed to the sitting use position P1 or the standing use position P2. By doing so, the top plate 111 and the shelf plate 124 or the top plate 125 can be made continuous in the same plane. Further, the shelf plate 124 and the top plate 125 are such that the edge portions 124b and 125b on the use edge 111a side of the top plate 111 and the edge portions 124c and 125c on the top plate 111 side are continuously opened. This is similar to the first embodiment in that the upper and lower spaces are open to the use edge 111a side and the top plate 111 side.

  The panel 103 includes a first wall portion 131, a second wall portion 132, a third wall portion 133 provided along the right oblique edge 111e, the counter-use edge 111b, and the left oblique edge 111c of the top plate 111, and storage furniture. The first wall portion 131 and the fourth wall portion 134 are connected to each other and can be handled integrally. Therefore, by connecting the first to fourth wall portions 131 to 134 while bending, it is possible to stand on the floor surface without the support legs 31 (see FIG. 2).

  The panel 103 is configured on a plane in which the second wall portion 132 is perpendicular to the depth direction (X direction), and the first wall portion 131 is provided on the right edge portion and the left edge portion of the second wall portion 132, respectively. And the 3rd wall part 133 is connected, and these are bent and arranged so that it may approach the use edge 111b side, ie, a user side, so that it may become an end.

  By configuring the panel 103 in this way, a user sitting in front of the desk 101 can have a moderate feeling of being surrounded. In order to give such a feeling of being enclosed, the first wall 131 and the third wall 133 are not only configured to be bent with respect to the second wall 132 but are used while being curved. The form which approaches the edge 111a may be sufficient.

  Even if it is a case where it is comprised as mentioned above, as shown in FIG. 9, by making the top plate 111 into the sitting position use position P1, as in the first embodiment, the shelf plate 124 and the top plate 111 as shelves Since the upper surface 113 of the top plate 111 and the upper surface 124a of the shelf plate 124 are flush with each other, the articles can be easily moved between the shelf plate 124 and the top plate 111, It is possible to increase work efficiency by using the work space WS on the top plate 111 and the shelf space US1 on the shelf 124 as one continuous space CS1. Furthermore, since the work space WS on the top plate 111 can be shielded from the side opposite to the use edge 111b by the panel 103 and from the side by the storage furniture 102, the seated person concentrates on the work. Can be performed.

  Also, as shown in FIG. 11, even when the top plate 111 is set to the standing use position P2, the top plate 125 as the shelf and the top plate 111 have the same height as in the first embodiment, and the top plate 111 Since the top surface 113 of the top plate and the top surface 125a of the shelf plate 125 are flush with each other, the articles can be easily moved between the top plate 125 and the top plate 111, and the work space WS and the top plate 125 on the top plate 111 can be moved. It is possible to increase work efficiency by using the upper shelf space US2 as one continuous space CS2. Furthermore, the work space WS on the top plate 111 can be opened from the side opposite to the use edge 111b as well as from the side, making it easy to communicate with the surrounding people. As shown in this figure, by setting all the top boards 111 to the standing use position P2, a large high table can be configured together with the top board 125 of the storage furniture 102, and a meeting is held while surrounding a plurality of persons. It can be carried out.

  By configuring as described above, the desk system DS2 in the present embodiment can obtain the same effects as in the case of the first embodiment described above.

  Furthermore, the top plate 111 includes oblique edges 111e and 111f that obliquely connect the counter-use edge 111b and the side edges 111c and 111d in plan view, and the oblique edge 111e of another top plate 111 and 111 having the same shape. , 111f are arranged opposite to each other so that the two top plates 111, 111 can be substantially continuous diagonally opposite each other, so that the use edges of the top plates 111, 111 opposed diagonally opposite each other are used. Since 111a and 111a can be brought close to each other, communication between seated persons can be facilitated.

  In addition, when paying attention to the two top plates 111 and 111 adjacent in the width direction, the side edges 111c and 111d of the other top plates 111 and 111 having the same shape are arranged so as to face each other. Since the storage furniture 102 can be disposed between the side edges 111c and 111d, a space generated between the side edges 111c and 111d can be created by arranging the oblique edges 111e and 111f to face each other. It can be effectively used as an expansion space 111.

  The specific configuration of each unit is not limited to the above-described embodiment.

  For example, in the above-described embodiment, when the top plate 11 (111) is set to the sitting use position P1 or the standing use position P2, the top plate 11 (111) is the shelf plate 24 (124) or the top plate 25 (125).
