Table

Abstract

A table has a substantially plate-like top plate, a pair of beams arranged side by side on the lower surface of the top plate and supporting and fixing the top plate, and supporting bodies arranged on the pair of beams so as to lie in the longitudinal direction of the pair of beams and supporting and fixing the pair. The supporting bodies have on the upper portion thereof a substantially horizontal pair of first placement surfaces and a pair of second placement surfaces extending from the first placement surfaces and inclined in the lateral direction of the beams. The beams each have a top plate supporting surface to which the top plate is fixed, a first bottom surface which is, at least in the area supported by the supporting bodies in the longitudinal direction, supported in a contacting manner by a first placement surface, and a second bottom surface extending from the first bottom surface, inclined, and supported in a contacting manner by a second placement surface.

1 . A table comprising:
 a substantially plate-like top plate;   a pair of beams disposed on a lower surface of said top plate for supporting and fixing said top plate; and   a plurality of supporting members disposed in the longitudinal direction of said beams to support and fix the pair of beams,   wherein the supporting member has a pair of substantially horizontal first set surfaces and a pair of second set surfaces, said second set surfaces being formed to extend from said first set surfaces with a gradient along a direction of the width of said beams, and   wherein the beam has a surface for supporting the top plate, on which the top plate is fixed; a first bottom surface to be abutted to and supported by the first set surface of the supporting member at least within the range supported on the supporting members in the longitudinal direction; and a second bottom surface extending from said first bottom surface with a gradient in such a manner as to be abutted to and supported on the second set surface of the supporting member at least within the range supported by the supporting members in the longitudinal direction.   
     
     
         2 . The table of  claim 1 ,
 wherein the first set surfaces are formed to continually extending from upper edges of the second set surfaces;   wherein the supporting members have a pair of substantially horizontal third set surfaces continually extending from lower edges of the second set surfaces; and   wherein the beams have a third bottom surface abutted to and supported by the third set surfaces.   
     
     
         3 . The table of  claim 2 ,
 wherein on the third set surface of the support body at least one stopper is attached to engage with the beam in the width direction.   
     
     
         4 . The table of  claim 1 ,
 wherein the pair of beams is secured to the supporting members within the range where the second bottom surfaces are abutted to the second set surfaces.   
     
     
         5 . The table of  claim 1 ,
 wherein the pair of second set surfaces is formed in such way that their gradient directions are different from each other in the width direction.   
     
     
         6 . The table of  claim 5 ,
 wherein each of said pair of second set surfaces is formed to extend from the outside toward the inside with a downward gradient, so that an upper surface of said supporting member is recessed.   
     
     
         7 . The table of  claim 6 ,
 wherein the beam has a gradient surface extending in the longitudinal direction and including the second bottom surface.   
     
     
         8 . The table of  claim 1 ,
 wherein the outermost supporting member among the supporting members disposed in the longitudinal direction is positioned inside of the short end of the top plate in the longitudinal direction; and   wherein the beam is formed to extend outward from the supporting member in the longitudinal direction in such a manner that its short end extends with a gradient inwards from the top plate-supporting surface in the longitudinal direction.   
     
     
         9 . The table of  claim 1 ,
 wherein the beam is formed to extend in such a manner that its outer long edge in the width direction is substantially coplanar with ends of the support bodies in the width direction.   
     
     
         10 . The table of  claim 1 ,
 wherein a cable space is formed between the pair of beams; and   wherein a cable channel is formed in the top plate in such a manner as to communicate the cable space with a space upside of the top plate.
