Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a vertical partition panel adjoining workspaces, erected on or in the immediate vicinity of at least one horizontal tray forming a work surface for at least one occupant.
  • This installation finds its application in multiple environments in which we delimit space to define several workstations close to each other other.
  • Landscape offices are one example of structures in which such a delimitation is carried out.
  • the first level consists of all that is lower than said work plan, namely on the one hand the supporting structures horizontal platforms, as well as the structures of storage, cable routing, etc., organizing the connection between the worktop and floor.
  • the present invention aims to significantly expand the functions offered by vertical separation panels starting from the observation that so far, the space vertical above the workstation is little or badly used, and does not allow hardly the occupant to customize it to meet their specific needs.
  • the vertical panel of the invention proposes to remedy all of these disadvantages, by implementing a universal solution in its application, and innovative in its functions.
  • one of the objectives of the invention is to offer an evolving product, simple in its installation and in its use.
  • Another objective of the invention is to integrate functions into the panel digital with a global vocation of identification and communication, and applying to the machines fitted to the workstation as well as to the individual working there officiating.
  • the panels of the invention aim to optimize the management of his workstation by the user, while making it independent of existing modular office furniture structures, to which they can however be adapted whatever the technical configuration.
  • the vertical panel for the separation of contiguous workspaces of the invention is mainly characterized in that it includes means for universal fixings adaptable to any type of configuration based on one or several horizontal plates, fixable in any free location of the border exterior of at least one plate, cooperating with two lateral vertical uprights which can be secured at least one vertical element of planar appearance forming the partition wall, which is modular in its appearance and functions.
  • the concept of the invention is therefore based on a trilogy consisting of a means of universal fixing which simply requires the existence of a horizontal plate, and that we combine with two vertical uprights, sort of the main frame of the panel, the partition itself performing the function of separation finally being made integral with said uprights.
  • this partition is modular according to a large number of possible combinations.
  • each lateral upright has a vertical-looking structure having a vertical slide located on its side facing the slide counterpart of the opposite upright, between which at least one vertical element is housed and maintained, resting on the surface of the horizontal plate or on the edge upper of an element previously slid between said slides, the end of the upright adjacent to said tray comprising a shape base horizontal allowing it to be fixed by means of fixings adaptable to (x) horizontal tray (s).
  • the bottom of the slide consists of a flat plate elongated which has holes used to fix certain flat elements vertical usable in the realization of the vertical partition, and the orifices of passage of cables possibly originating from said elements.
  • One of the main advantages of the partition of the invention is that it offers the possibility of a number of electrical and electronic functions, however, requiring the passage of cables from the space above the worktop towards the space between it and the ground. Cable management is fully supported by the panel of the invention, this management being completely opaque to the user, who does not have access to it. It is therefore no need to provide cable grommets or drill anything way the horizontal tray forming the desk.
  • the base of the lateral upright comprises a platform perpendicular in appearance and arranged at the lower end of the flat plate forming the bottom of the slide, on its face opposite to that which has the walls lateral of the slide, said platform being pierced with holes on the one hand attachment to the means of attachment to a horizontal plate, and providing other share a cable passage space, a guide housing being preferably practiced in its underside with a view to positioning the means of fixation.
  • this platform In fact, the essential function of this platform is to achieve interfacing with the fixing part to the horizontal plate. Secondarily, it participates in guiding the cables from the upper zone to the lower zone delimited by said tray. Finally, in its relation to the fixing piece to the worktop, it must facilitate relative positioning with the latter for fixing.
  • the lateral sides of the slide are extended, in the lower part of it, lateral ramps extending beyond the flat plate constituting the bottom of the slide, the external edges of which are connected to the side of the distal base of said flat plate.
  • each upright looks planar in its upper part, and widens in its lower part so as to integrate the base which is oriented substantially perpendicular to the slide.
  • said lateral ramps are provided with notches made perpendicular to the axis of the slide.
  • each upright has symmetry with respect to a plane passing through the longitudinal central axis of the slide and perpendicular to the flat plate which forms the bottom.
  • the fixing of the hood is therefore extremely simple, since it is simply a slide along the slide, which then fulfills two distinct functions: joining the vertical elements forming the partition, and joining the cover masking the functional parts.
  • the longitudinal edges of said cover include each one folded back parallel to the bottom of the slide, the lower part of which has a width less than that of the upper part, the two sections thus defined being connected by an oblique shoulder realizing the stop at the end of sliding by pressing on longitudinal ribs protruding from the part lower of the lateral sides of the slide and provided with an oblique shoulder corresponding.
  • the stopper is in fact not produced by the base of the upright, the faces of which verticals are covered by the cover, a residual space even being provided between the wall of said cover and said base for the passage of cables.
  • the hood is also provided with localized slots, when the hood is fixed on the amount, at the notches made in the side ramps, said slots with the same width as the notches and together creating slots for inserting accessory holder plates.
  • Said accessory-holding plates can be of various shapes, and integrate accessories such as pens, pencils, cups, etc.
  • the cover is made of a translucent material, the closed volume which it delimits with the vertical-looking structure of the upright being provided with a source of light connected to a switching device accessible on the vertical panel.
  • the workstation user can use this feature to inform the entourage that he does not wish to be disturbed.
  • the cover is made of crystalline polycarbonate.
  • the covering of the panel is flexible according to a large number of possibilities, depending on the will of the user of the set, its function, the devices with which it works, etc.
  • At least one of the vertical elements sliding between the uprights side has sockets for the connection of devices, said sockets able to supply them with energy, for example the mains voltage, and / or a connection to networks carrying information, for example in the form telephone sockets or connection to computer networks.
  • the separation panel responds to the idea of a easy and instant connection of the user, for energy needs electrical, data transfer, etc.
  • said vertical element may further comprise an infrared type transceiver.
  • sockets and / or transmitters / receivers are arranged nearby of the horizontal tray forming the work surface. This positioning makes it possible optimize gripping and access to different grips.
  • this vertical element is a profile formed by two clip-on sheets. It is so extremely easy to wire in advance, in one of the two half-rails, and close the other to constitute the closed element, ready to be installed.
  • At least one of the vertical sliding elements between the side uprights has horizontal hanging rails, which equip at least one of its large vertical faces.
  • only a portion of the length between the lateral uprights of the vertical element can be fitted with hanging rails, said portion forming a external wall moving along and on a panel fitted with a decoration and fixed between two upper and lower technical rails, providing slides of sliding for the portion fitted with hanging rails.
  • the sliding slides of the portion equipped with hanging rails are coated with Teflon, thus facilitating its sliding.
  • At least one vertical element sliding between the side uprights consists of a strip endowed with means of providing directly intelligible information to the user of the workstation, in visual form by screen display, or auditory by broadcast messages.
  • said strip must include storage means not information, ways to choose between different types information, as well as means of navigation through information stored.
  • the means to choose between the different types of information and the navigation means consist of buttons located on one side of the banner near the display screen, to which a code is assigned signage indicating their function in a simplified manner.
  • this banner responds to the need to integrate "digital" into furniture, in order to be able to identify the user on the one hand, and on the other hand part of promoting communication between workstations.
  • the strip and more generally the partition panel to which it is attached, are connected to a computer acting as a central server which perceives it as a terminal, and allows it to manage internal messaging and external, as well as centralized functions of the company such as reservation of shareable places, among which we can cite the meeting rooms meeting.
  • the IT functions thus conferred on the separation panel improve social life in the company, thanks to messaging, as well that internal communication between the different occupants of the positions that are equipped.
  • At at least one of the vertical elements slidable between the lateral uprights can have a decorative element on its two vertical facades.
  • the modularity of the partition panel of the invention naturally results from the the vertical partition consists of a stack of several elements separate verticals, from which a choice is possible.
  • this stacking which is done by simple gravity, allows you to easily add or remove vertical elements to configure the separation panel according to the precise vocation of the station to which it is affected, or according to the personality of the occupant of said position.
