Abstract

The present invention provides desks with which layout can be changed easily and accurately without disturbing the order of a work space and an entire office. The desk includes a base extending in a predetermined direction, a movable supporting member supported so as to be movable along the base, and a top board supported by the movable supporting member so as to be turnable in the horizontal direction.

Claims

1. A desk comprising:

a base extending in a predetermined direction;

a movable supporting member supported so as to be movable along the base; and

a top board supported by the movable supporting member.

3. The desk according to claim 1, wherein the top board is supported by the movable supporting member so as to be turnable in the horizontal direction.

4. The desk according to claim 1, further comprising a leg member supporting a region different from a region supported by the movable supporting member, in the top board,

wherein a movable body capable of moving on a floor is provided at a lower end of the leg member.

5. The desk according to claim 1, wherein the base is provided with a guide for guiding movement of the movable supporting member, and the movable supporting member is provided with a guided part which is guided by the guide.

6. The desk according to claim 5, wherein the guide is a rail formed along an extension direction of the base.

7. The desk according to claim 6, wherein the guided part has a rolling member capable of rolling along the rail formed in the base.

8. The desk according to claim 1, further comprising:

a stationary supporting member supported by the base and not being able to slide; and

a stationary top board supported by the stationary supporting member.

9. The desk according to claim 8, wherein the base has a pair of upright faces facing each other along the longitudinal direction,

one of the upright faces is provided with a guide for guiding movement of the movable supporting member, and

the other upright face is provided with an attachment part for attaching the stationary supporting member.

10. The desk according to claim 9, wherein the guide and the attachment part are rails having the same shape.

11. The desk according to claim 8, wherein the stationary top board is cantilevered by the stationary supporting member.

12. An office construction system comprising a plurality of desks according to claim 1,

wherein layout can be changed according to the kind of a work or the like.

2. A desk comprising:

a base extending in a predetermined direction;

a movable supporting member supported so as to be movable along the base; and

a top board supported by the movable supporting member,

wherein the movable supporting member can move along the base together with the top board in a state where the movable supporting member supports the top board.

13. The desk according to claim 2, wherein the top board is supported by the movable supporting member so as to be turnable in the horizontal direction.

14. The desk according to claim 2, further comprising a leg member supporting a region different from a region supported by the movable supporting member, in the top board,

wherein a movable body capable of moving on a floor is provided at a lower end of the leg member.

15. The desk according to claim 2, wherein the base is provided with a guide for guiding movement of the movable supporting member, and the movable supporting member is provided with a guided part which is guided by the guide.

16. The desk according to claim 15, wherein the guide is a rail formed along an extension direction of the base.

17. The desk according to claim 16, wherein the guided part has a rolling member capable of rolling along the rail formed in the base.

18. The desk according to claim 2, further comprising:

a stationary supporting member supported by the base and not being able to slide; and

a stationary top board supported by the stationary supporting member.

19. The desk according to claim 18, wherein the base has a pair of upright faces facing each other along the longitudinal direction,

one of the upright faces is provided with a guide for guiding movement of the movable supporting member, and

the other upright face is provided with an attachment part for attaching the stationary supporting member.

20. The desk according to claim 19, wherein the guide and the attachment part are rails having the same shape.

21. The desk according to claim 18, wherein the stationary top board is cantilevered by the stationary supporting member.

22. The desk according to claim 19, wherein the stationary top board is cantilevered by the stationary supporting member.

23. An office construction system comprising a plurality of desks according to claim 2,

wherein layout can be changed according to the kind of a work or the like.
