Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a moving partition panel, a screen, and an exhibition panel for partitioning an indoor space in which an upper portion is guided by a guide rail erected on a ceiling and a lower portion is supported by casters movable on a floor surface. The present invention relates to a shielding structure in a mobile panel that can be used as a portable panel.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art For example, most of conventional moving panels used for moving partitions are adapted to move while being suspended and supported by guide rails provided on a ceiling by supporting shafts provided above. Was.

[0003] Therefore, the entire weight of the panel is added to the guide rail. Particularly, in a self-propelled panel having a drive mechanism such as a motor, the weight of the panel is considerably large. Had become.

[0004] In order to reduce the load acting on the guide rail, the applicant of the present application has developed a movable panel for partition as shown in FIG. The developed movable panel 01 has a support shaft 07 provided upward from the upper end, and a guide roller 08 as a guide member is provided at the tip of the support shaft 07. The guide roller 08 is slidably supported by a guide rail 03 provided on a ceiling 02 for guiding the movable panel 01. To partition the room, move each movable panel 01 to the wall 0
5 are moved one by one on the floor surface 04 by the casters 015 so that the concave grooves formed on the side end surfaces of the adjacent movable panels 01 and the ridges (both not shown) are fitted to each other. Erected between the ceiling 02 and the floor surface 04.

As shown in FIG. 6A, which is a cross-sectional view taken along the line II-II of FIG. 6A, a support block 06 fixed to the upper end of a side frame 012 at both ends of each movable panel 01. , A support shaft 07 is slidably penetrated up and down and is held.
A guide roller 08 that rolls inside is rotatably mounted.

The lower portion of the support shaft 07 is protruded from the lower end of the support block 06 by a predetermined length, and a retaining ring 09 is fitted at the lower end.
The panel portion composed of 2 and the outer plate 011 does not fall off.

Further, as shown in FIG. 6A, the lower end of each movable panel 1 has a horizontally long box shape, and the lower surface thereof is open. A movable plate that can move up and down is accommodated in this horizontally long box shape, and casters 015 and 015 that can move freely are mounted near the front and rear ends on the lower surface of the movable plate so as to be housed in the horizontally long box shape. I have.

Therefore, when moving the movable panel 01 along the guide rail 03, the two casters 01
5 and the movable panel 01 moves,
A load is prevented from being applied to the guide rails 03, enabling the use of the inexpensive guide rails 03 having a small strength and being easily attached to the ceiling 02 of an existing building.
Then, after moving the movable panel 01 to a desired position, the user pushes up the movable plate, pulls up the caster 015, and pushes down so that the lower end surface of the panel is placed on the floor surface 04, thereby moving the movable panel 01. Is restricted by the floor surface 04.

[0009]

However, the above-mentioned movable panel still has the following problems to be solved. That is, when the movable panel 01 is installed, the panel moves downward toward the floor surface, so that
The gap between the lower end of the guide rail 03 attached to the ceiling 02 and the upper end of the panel part widens, and the movable panel 01
There is a problem in that light or sound leaks from the space on the back side (partitioned adjacent room) through a gap. Therefore, it is conceivable to attach a shielding member in advance, but it was necessary to attach a longer shielding member in consideration of the amount of downward movement of the panel. When a longer shielding member is attached, there is a risk that the panel will come into contact with the guide rail when the panel swings or the panel is taken in and out.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and the panel can be moved smoothly, and a gap formed between the lower end of the guide rail and the upper end of the panel portion is reliably shielded, so that the movable panel can be mounted. It is an object of the present invention to provide a shielding structure in a movable panel which can minimize light and sound from a space adjacent to the panel.

[0011]

In order to achieve the above object, a shielding structure of a movable panel according to the present invention is provided by a caster whose upper part is guided by a guide rail erected on a ceiling and whose lower part is movable on a floor. And a shield member elastically deformable is fixed to the guide rail side in the vicinity of both upper and lower edges of the panel. According to this feature, the panel shakes when the panel moves, or moves across the guide rail when the panel is moved in and out, so that the shielding member can be elastically deformed even if the shielding member comes into contact with the guide rail. The panel can be smoothly moved without receiving resistance even if the panel is mounted somewhat longer, and a reliable light shielding and sound insulating effect can be obtained.

In the shielding structure of the movable panel, it is preferable that the shielding member is formed of a comb-like member.
In this case, the movable panel can be moved with less resistance due to the flexibility of the comb-shaped member.

[0013] In the shielding structure of the movable panel, it is preferable that a fastening width of the two shielding members is wider than the width of the guide rail, and a leading end portion extends at least to a lower end of the guide rail. In this way, when the panel moves in the direction along the guide rail, the shielding member does not come into contact with the guide rail, and since the shielding member extends at least as far as the guide rail, it is ensured. Can shield light and sound.

In the shielding structure for the movable panel, the shielding member may include an outer wall integral with both upper and lower edges of the movable panel, and a holding tool having a separable inner wall facing the upper edges. It is preferable to be fixed in the holding groove composed of In this way, simply attach and remove the inner wall only, easily fasten the shielding member,
Can be exchanged.
