Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a panel connecting apparatus using an extruded member in a partition as a partition.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a partition, panels are supported by columns on both sides thereof, and two, three, or four panels are connected to one column, so that the interior of the room becomes several. Partitioned. Although the orientation of the plurality of panels connected via the columns is often in series and at right angles, the panels are not limited to the directions freely, and the panels are rotatably connected to the columns. The structure thereof is various in combination with the material of the column and the like.

An example in which an extruded member such as aluminum is used for the column and the connecting member is described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Hei 10-179300.

This is a so-called hinge structure, in which a plurality of connecting members having cylindrical portions as bearings are attached to a panel at intervals on a column corresponding to a hinge pin, and the cylindrical portions alternate with the columns between the panels. , The angle between the panels around the column is set freely.

[0005]

According to the conventional panel connecting device as described above, the supporting column is inevitably small in diameter so that the cylindrical portion of the connecting member fits therein. , Especially 30c lower than the floor
Stability could not be obtained in raising the panel to about m and supporting it like hanging in the air.

Further, it is necessary to mount a plurality of connecting members on the panel at predetermined intervals above and below, and it is necessary to set the interval so as to sandwich the connecting members of other panels. The structure was complicated and it was not easy to assemble.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-described circumstances,
It is an object of the present invention to provide a panel connecting device of a partition, in which a supporting column has a strong structure, connection of panels is simple, and construction of a stable and free partition is easy.

[0008]

In order to achieve the above object, according to the present invention, a connecting member protrudes from a side end of a panel.
In a partition in which a plurality of panels are connected via a support, the support is an assembled structure in which a plurality of split members having brackets at both ends are joined together, and a shaft is formed by combining brackets of adjacent split members. A pocket is formed, and the panel connecting member has a shaft connecting portion formed so as not to be able to escape into the shaft pocket, thereby forming a panel connecting device in a partition.

According to the above construction, when assembling the partition, the panel shank is inserted between the empty bracket-shaped pieces when opening the split-shaped members of the column, and the split shape is formed. The connection of the materials is completed by tightening the screws, etc., and the columns are assembled. Then, the shaft portion is irremovably fitted in the shaft pocket formed by the combination of the brackets.

[0010]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS In the present invention, the shape of the bracket-shaped piece 13 of the split member 1a constituting the column 1 may be arc-shaped in view of the fact that the panel 2 can be set in any direction. Desirable (claim 2). However, in a normal partition, since the direction of the panel is determined at several angles, the bracket-shaped piece 13 is formed in a bracket or a bracket so that the shaft pocket 6 becomes, for example, a hexagon or an octagon. Is also good. And this polygonal shaft pocket 6
When the polygonal shaft portion 7 is fitted in the panel 2, the direction of the panel 2 can be stably held stably, which is suitable when the stability is required.

As for the connecting means of the plurality of split members 1a constituting the column 1, it is preferable to use a screw 9, but other means such as a mutual combination structure, tightening by a lever, etc. are also possible. .

Although the number of panels 2 connected to one support 1 and the directions of the panels are not limited, for example, serial, right-angle, radial connection, and the like are conceivable. Also,
If the shaft pockets 6 are more than the number of panels 2 to be connected, it is desirable to fit a shaft member 8 instead of the shaft portion 7. Also, when supporting the panel in a suspended state lifted from the floor, a shaft member can be fitted into the lower end portion of the shaft pocket and thereby supported.

[0013]

As described above, according to the present invention, the support column is a durable combination of a plurality of split members for forming the shaft pocket, and can stably support the panel with strength. The stability is obtained even if it is suspended, and the structure is simple and the panels are easily connected, so that there is an excellent effect that the partition can be freely set or assembled. .

[0014]

Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIGS. 1 to 4 show that two panels 2 and 2 are connected via a column 1 so as to be able to change their angle, and a connecting member 3 is assembled to a vertical frame 5 of the panel 2. A circular shaft portion 7 is formed, and shaft columns 6 and 6 are formed in the column 1 so that the shaft portions 7 and 7 cannot be escaping respectively at both ends.
Is configured.

The column 1 has two split members 1a and 1a, so that the shaft 7 of the panel 2 can be incorporated into the shaft pocket 6 from the side.
1a, and are connected by screws 9 at several upper and lower stages. Regarding the cross-sectional shape of the split member 1a, arc-shaped bracket-shaped pieces 13 are formed on the inner surfaces of both ends of the side wall 11, and when the bracket-shaped pieces 13, 13 of both split members 1a, 1a are united, both ends are formed. The column 1 in which the pocket opening 15 having the opening angle α of slightly more than 90 degrees is opened is assembled.

For connecting the two split members 1a, 1a with screws 9, a female screw 9a is fixed to one split member 1a, and a through hole 10 for a male screw 9b is formed in the other split member 1a. Is done.

The panel 2 is mainly composed of a honeycomb structure, and is framed by upper and lower frames 4, 4 and vertical frames 5, 5. Since the vertical frame 5 is dovetail-shaped,
The connecting member 3 has a leg portion 17 that fits into the dovetail groove. The shaft portion 7 projects from the leg portion 17 through a thin body portion 19, and the shaft portion 7 is formed in a circular tube shape. The range in which the trunk 19 rotates about the shaft 7 with respect to the pocket opening 15 is about 90 degrees, and is 45 degrees with respect to the left and right directions of the column 1. Therefore, the angle β at which both panels 2 and 2 are closest to each other is about 90 degrees (FIG. 4).

FIG. 5 shows a case in which three (or four) panels 2 are connected to the support 1, and the support 1 is made up of four divided pieces 1a, 1a, 1a, 1a. Assembled with crossed screws 9, 9 integrally, having shaft pockets 6, 6, 6, 6 at four corners of a substantially square cross section, and a pocket opening 15 opened at about 90 degrees in the outer corner direction at each corner. It has a form.

Each split member 1a has the same cross-sectional shape, and in this case also, arc-shaped bracket-shaped pieces 13, 13 are formed at both ends of the side wall 11. A shaft member 8 is fitted into the remaining shaft pocket 6. In addition, the axis of the reinforcing core material 10 or the foot 12 (see FIG. 1) can be inserted at the center.
