  • Patent number: 8225723
    Abstract: A desk with panels, wherein a large open space is formed between a top board and a rear panel so that the rear upper surface of the top board can be effectively used and optional members can be installed in the open space with a sufficient allowance. The rear end parts of a pair of right and left top board support bodies are mounted on a frame formed by connecting the upper ends of the right and left leg bodies to each other through a lateral connection lever so as to be projected forward of the lateral connection lever, and the top board is supported by the right and left top board support bodies so that the most part thereof can be positioned forward of the lateral connection lever. Also, a pair of right and left panel support bodies are mounted on both sides of the frame so as to be extended rearward, and the rear panel in the vertical direction is supported by both panel support bodies at their rear ends.

  • Patent number: 7798070
    Abstract: A top plate is supported while being greatly projected forward of leg bodies, which forms a large lower leg space under the top plate. Upper ends of left and right leg bodies (2) having, at their lower ends, base legs (2a) that are directed in a front-rear direction are connected by lateral connection rods (3) that are directed in a left-right direction and have a non-circular cross-section. Rear end sections of at least a left and right pair of top plate support bodies (4) directed in the front-rear direction are fixed to the lateral connection rods (3) so as to project forward. The lower surface of the top plate (26) is installed on the top plate support bodies (4) such that the most part of the top plate (26) is located forward of the lateral connection rods (3).
