Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a partition.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Partitions are roughly classified into those that reach the ceiling and those that do not reach the ceiling. The latter partition type partition mainly consists of a frame (main body) and a panel attached to it. The frame is a horizontal frame that connects the left and right vertical frames (posts) and the left and right vertical frames. And consists of.

When the height and width of the partition are not so large, the frame is often composed of two vertical frames on the left and right and two horizontal frames on the upper and lower sides. When the height of the partition becomes higher than a certain level, three or more horizontal frames are often arranged, and when the width of the partition becomes larger than a certain level,
There may be three or more vertical frames.

Looking at the panels, one panel is mounted in a space surrounded by a vertical frame and a horizontal frame, and two panels are mounted front and back to form a hollow space between them. There are cases. There are various types of panel materials, such as those that are simply coated on a metal plate, those that have a decorative cloth attached to the metal plate, and those that have a lightweight heat insulating material attached to the back surface of the metal plate.

In any case, conventionally, the relationship between the structure of the frame and the structure of the panel is predetermined, and if the structure of the panel is different, the mounting structure is also different.
Therefore, conventionally, in one partition, at most, a variation that changes the color of the panel can be selected.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention]
A flexible work style that changes the functions and layout of furniture such as partitions and desks according to the work content, from the open floor system where desks are lined up and the traditional work style where each worker is partitioned at the booth Has changed significantly.

These are what should be called a kind of office revolution, and the background is the necessity of forming an environment in which each worker can work comfortably and efficiently by eliminating excessive interference and oversight of workers. It can be said that the work content itself has changed significantly due to recognition and the spread of personal computers.

Under such office revolution, various functions are required for partitions. For example, in a partition used for personal work, there is a demand to select the material, structure, and function of the panel according to the worker's preference and work content.

More specifically, a part of the partition is desired to have a transparent or translucent part, a part or the whole of the partition can be relaxed if it is cloth-like or net-like, and a panel capable of stopping the paper with a push pin. There are various demands for functions and designs, such as wanting to have pin-up characteristics, and being able to cleanly handle the wiring of electrical equipment such as personal computers.

In recent years, the spread of SOHO (Small Office / Home Office) has been remarkable, but the person doing business in this SOHO is originally strongly independent and wants to form a work space that suits his / her taste without being interfered with by others. Therefore, it can be said that there are a wide variety of requests regarding the functions and designs of partitions.

Conventionally, however, one partition can be changed to the extent that the color of the panel can be changed at most, and the panel structure can be selected according to the user's request, or the skeleton can be shared so that the panel structure is different. Since it was not possible to easily arrange partitions between various functions and designs, it was difficult to flexibly respond to the needs of various users.

The present invention aims to improve this situation.

[0013]

According to a first aspect of the invention, a partition comprises a plurality of vertical frames which are appropriately spaced from each other on the left and right, and a plurality of horizontal frames which are vertically spaced from each other,
Panels mounted in a frame space surrounded by two vertical frames that are adjacent to each other on the left and right sides and two horizontal frames that are adjacent to each other on the top and bottom sides are provided.

At least one of the vertical frame and the horizontal frame is provided with an engaging means such as a groove or a ridge, while the panels are structured corresponding to one frame space. There are a plurality of different types that can be selected, and each of the plurality of types of panels is provided with locking means that holds the panels in a non-detachable manner by locking the engaging means. ing.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the first aspect, each of the horizontal frames is formed in a vertically symmetric shape in a side sectional view, and the upper and lower surfaces of each of the horizontal frames have a center as the engaging means. A center engagement groove extending along the line and two side engagement grooves located on the front and rear sides thereof are formed.

Further, the locking means provided on the plurality of types of panels includes a lower locking piece which is fitted from above into the center engaging groove of the lower horizontal frame of the vertically adjacent horizontal frames, and an upper step. The upper engaging piece made of an elastic body is engaged with and disengaged from the side engaging groove of the lateral frame in the front-back direction against elasticity.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the second aspect, a front engaging groove having a dovetail-shaped cross section is formed on the front and rear surfaces or one surface of each of the lateral frames as another engaging means. Panels can be mounted through upper and lower hook-shaped locking bodies that are hooked in the front engaging grooves of the upper and lower horizontal frames.

The materials for the panels are not particularly limited,
Various materials such as metal plates, wood, plywood, synthetic resins, laminated materials of different materials, sheets, cloths, non-woven fabrics, screens, and wire nets can be used.

According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in any one of the first to third aspects, at least one of the plurality of types of panels is arranged inside the front surface of the vertical frame. As a result, when the top plate of the desk or table is brought into contact with the front surface of the vertical frame, a wiring space for inserting cords and cables between the panels and the top plate is opened.

According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, a partition includes a plurality of vertical frames which are appropriately spaced apart from each other on the left and right, a plurality of horizontal frames which are appropriately spaced from each other on the left and right, and two adjacent horizontal frames.
It is equipped with panels mounted in a frame space surrounded by a vertical frame of a book and two horizontal frames vertically adjacent to each other,
Engaging means such as an engaging groove is formed in the lateral frame, while the panels are provided with locking means that can be engaged with and disengaged from the engaging means.

According to a sixth aspect of the present invention, in any one of the first to fifth aspects, each of the vertical frames has an inner engaging groove or an inner engaging ridge which faces the frame space as the engaging means. Is formed so as to extend over the entire length in the vertical direction, and further, in addition to the engaging means, each vertical frame is
A dovetail-shaped outer engaging groove that is open on the side opposite to the frame space is formed to extend over the entire length in the vertical direction, and the frame material that fits into this outer engaging groove is fixed to the outside of the vertical frame. It is possible to install an outer board to put out.

According to the first aspect of the present invention, regarding the relationship between the panel and the user, the case where the panel is attached and sold in accordance with the user's request, and the case where the user purchases a plurality of types of panels and replaces them according to their preference There are cases.
In the latter case, the panel should be removable with respect to the skeleton.

In the present invention, the term "panels" is a generic term for panels arranged in a frame space, and the properties such as material, shape, thickness, density and translucency do not matter. Therefore, a screen-shaped material, a paper-shaped material, a mesh-shaped material, a blind shape, a blind, and the like are also included.

Needless to say, the partition can be used alone or can be used as a desk or a table by attaching a top plate or a shelf separately.

[0025]

According to the present invention, since a plurality of panels having different structures can be replaced in one partition, it is possible to easily provide various partitions according to the user's request. .

Particularly, according to the second aspect of the invention, the panels can be easily attached and detached by engaging and disengaging the panels with respect to the horizontal frame, so that the user can easily change the panels according to his or her preference, which is particularly preferable. Further, according to claim 2, since a plurality of horizontal frames having the same sectional shape can be used, there is an advantage that the cost can be reduced.

According to the third aspect, since the panels can be locked also on the front surface (and the rear surface) of the horizontal frame, the variety of panels that can be attached is further increased, and as a result, the user's request is further enhanced. You can respond accurately.

As described above, it is often the case that the top plate is attached to the partition to serve also as the desk, or another desk is brought into close contact with the partition. However, when configured as in claim 4, it is used on the desk or the like. Since the cords / cables for electric devices and communication devices can be pulled out downward from the gap between the top plate and the panel, the cords / cables can be beautifully treated.

By the way, it may be desired to attach an outer board to the outside of the partition. In this regard,
According to the sixth aspect, since the plate member can be easily attached by using the dovetail-shaped outer engaging groove, it is possible to further widen the variation of the usage mode of the partition.

Has been formed. An outer engagement groove 17 having the same shape as the corner support 4 is formed on the outer surface thereof. The outer engagement groove 17 is formed as a dovetail groove having two lips at its opening.

The inner surface 5b of the vertical frame 5 has an inner surface 5b.
A shallower first inner engagement groove 22 is formed with a front and rear width slightly smaller than the width dimension of b, and the end portions of the respective lateral frames 6 to 8 are fitted tightly into the first inner engagement groove 22. ing.

Since the front and rear width dimensions of the horizontal frames 6 to 8 are smaller than the front and rear width dimension of the vertical frame 5 (thickness of the entire partition), even when the desk top plate 13 is exactly stacked on the front surface of the vertical frame 5, Between the frames 6 to 8 and the desk top plate 13, there is a wirable space (recess) 24 into which the cords C and cables can be inserted.

The horizontal frames 6 to 8 are fastened to the vertical frame 5 with screws 25. Although not shown, the vertical frame 5 has holes for inserting the screw 25 and the driver.

In the first inner engaging groove 22 of the vertical frame 5, two second inner engaging grooves 23 are formed in a distributed manner at positions on both sides of the longitudinal centerline. These both groove lines 22 and 23 are an example of the engaging means described in claim 1.

A bracket dovetail groove 26 is opened on both front and rear surfaces 5a of the vertical frame 5, and a screwing groove 1 having a generally arcuate cross section in a state of communicating with the bracket dovetail groove 26.

(See FIG. 3).

As shown in FIG. 6C, a bracket support plate 32 having a large number of groove holes 31 formed at appropriate vertical intervals is inserted into the bracket dovetail groove 26 from above. Then, the rack 1 is fitted by being fitted into the slot 31 and is attached to the shelf 1.
5 and the desk top plate 13 can be supported.

Each of the vertical frames 5 has the same cross-sectional shape, and when the two vertical frames 5 are stacked with the front and back reversed, they are fitted to each other and are held so as not to be displaced forward and backward.
The outer surface has an uneven cross section.

When the corner strut 4 and the outer engagement groove 17 of the vertical frame 5 are exposed to the outside, they are closed by a removable end cover 33. A cap 30 (see the drawing) is attached to the upper end of the vertical frame 5.

(3). Lower connection structure (FIGS. 3 to 7) Next, the connection structure of the units 1 to 3 will be mainly described with reference to FIGS.
It will be described based on. FIG. 3 is a partially separated front view of a connection part between the second unit 2 and the third unit 3, FIG. 4 is a front view of a connection part between the corner strut 4 and the second unit 2, and FIGS. FIG. 7 is a perspective view and FIG. 7 is a plan sectional view taken along line VII-VII of FIG.

The connection structure between the corner support 4 and the vertical frame 5 and the connection structure between the vertical frames 5 are basically the same, and here, the connection between the vertical frames will be mainly taken up and described.

The vertical frames 5 overlapping each other are connected at their lower ends to each other by a lower connecting member 35, and at their upper parts to each other by an upper connecting member 36. First, the lower connection structure will be described.

For example, as can be easily understood from FIG.
The lower coupling body 35 is a first insertion portion 35a that fits tightly into the outer engagement groove 17 of one of the vertical frames 5 from below.
And a second insertion portion 35b that fits tightly into the outer engagement groove 17 of the other vertical frame 5 from below.

In this example, the height of the second insertion portion 35b is low, and the step portion 35c is formed on the second insertion portion 35b. Further, the opening portion is formed at the lower end portion of the outer engagement groove 17 in the other vertical frame 5 so as to form a notch 37 corresponding to the step portion 35 c of the lower coupling body 35. The lower connecting body 35 is supported by the bottom plate 27 of the one vertical frame 5 so as not to fall.

By the lower connecting body 35, the adjacent vertical frames 5 are held so that they cannot be horizontally separated. Further, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 7, in the lower portions of the adjacent vertical frames 5,
There is a hole 39 into which one pin 38 is fitted, and this pin 38 holds adjacent vertical frames 5 so that they cannot be separated vertically.

Outer engagement groove 17 in the vertical frame 5
A notch is formed on the opening edge of the pin 38 so that the large-diameter portion of the pin 38 cannot be dropped. Then, the pins 38 are attached to the one vertical frame 5, and the lower connecting body 35 is fitted to the one vertical frame 5, and then the other vertical frame 5 is attached to the second inserting portion 35 b of the lower connecting body 35. The engaging hole 39 is fitted into the pin 38 while being fitted into.

Then, the adjacent vertical frames 5 are held so that they cannot be horizontally separated from each other and cannot be separated vertically. One vertical frame 5
Since the pin 38 and the lower connecting body 35 are fitted at the same time,
The height of the lower connecting body 35 is low.

(4). Upper connecting structure The upper connecting body 36 includes a first clamp body 40 fitted from above into the outer engaging groove 17 of one vertical frame 5 and an outer engaging groove of the other vertical frame 5. It is composed of a second clamp body 41 which is fitted in the upper portion 17 from above and a bolt (hexagon socket head cap bolt) 42 for fastening them.

Lips 40a, 4 are provided on both clamp bodies 40, 41 so as not to come out laterally from the outer engagement groove 17.
1a is formed. Further, the convex portion 41b provided on the second clamp body 41 is adapted to fit tightly into the outer engaging groove 17 of the one vertical frame 5, and the concave portion formed on the convex portion 41b of the second clamp body 41 is also formed. The protrusion 40b provided on the first clamp body 40 is tightly fitted in the place 41c.

Further, the convex portion 41b of the second clamp body 41 is provided with a bolt insertion hole 43, while the protrusion 40a of the first clamp body 40 is provided with a screw hole 44.

At this time, the protrusion 40 of the first clamp body 40
The upper surface of b is formed as a slanted surface 40c that is obliquely downward when viewed from the front,
While the screw hole 44 is opened in the inclined surface 40c, the second
On the convex portion 41b of the clamp body 41, the first
A flat plate-like inclined plate portion 41 overlapping the inclined surface of the clamp body 40
d is provided, and a bolt insertion hole 43 is formed in this inclined plate portion 41d.

The bottom portion of the outer engagement groove 17 in the other vertical frame 5 is formed so as to be opened upward by a slight dimension so as not to interfere with the head of the bolt 42 (the opening portion is indicated by reference numeral 45).

Both clamp bodies 40, 41 are temporarily fixed with a bolt 42 so as not to separate from each other. Then, in order to connect the units to each other, the adjacent vertical frames 5 are overlapped with each other and the lower parts thereof are first connected by the lower connecting bodies 35 and the pins 38, and then the outer engaging grooves 17 of both the vertical frames 5 are respectively connected. The clamp bodies 40 and 41 are inserted, and then a hexagon wrench in an inclined posture in a front view is fitted into the head of the bolt 42, and the bolt 42 is screwed. As a result, both vertical frames 5 are firmly fastened at their upper portions.

Since the bolts 42 are inclined, both vertical frames 5 can be firmly fastened using a hexagon wrench without cutting the inner surface of the vertical frame 5. It is preferable that the inclination angle of the bolt 42 be as horizontal as possible without impairing the insertion function of the hexagon wrench.

(5). Horizontal Frame (FIGS. 8 to 9) Next, the structure of the horizontal frames 6 to 8 will be described with reference to FIGS. 8 is a partial front view of the third unit 3, FIG. 9 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line IX-IX of FIG. 8, and FIG. 10 is a perspective view of a main part.

A center engaging groove 46 located at the center in the width direction and two side engaging grooves 47 located on both sides of the center engaging groove 46 are formed on both upper and lower surfaces of the horizontal frames 6 to 8. In this case, the side engagement groove 47 is shallower than the center engagement groove 46 and is formed in an arc shape.

Further, the four corners of the horizontal frames 6 to 8 are chamfered in an arc shape (the chamfered portion is shown by reference numeral 47). Further, symmetrical dovetail-shaped front engagement grooves 49 sandwiching the vertical center line are formed on both front and rear surfaces of the horizontal frames 6 to 8. Each of these engagement grooves 46, 47, 49 is an example of the engagement means described in the claims.

Inside the horizontal frames 6 to 8, a screwing groove 18 having an arcuate cross-section extending along the center line thereof is formed. As described above, the screw 25 screwed into the screwing groove 18 is used. , Vertical frame 5 and horizontal frame 6 ~
8 are fastened (see also FIG. 2).

As will be apparent from the above description, each of the horizontal frames 6 to 8 has the same size and the same cross-sectional shape, and is vertically symmetrical and horizontally symmetrical. Therefore, the same material can be used for each horizontal frame without directivity.

(6). First Mode of Panel (FIGS. 8 to 10) Next, the mode of the panel will be described with reference to FIGS. Each unit 1 to 3 can be expanded in various panels, but in order to avoid complicated reference signs,
In all the following examples, the third unit 3 is taken as a representative, and this is simply generalized as "unit 1" for description.

As shown in FIG. 9, 3 in unit 1
In the upper frame space 9 of the two frame spaces 9, thin plate panels 10 made of a cross-covered metal plate or a decorative steel plate are arranged from the front and back, and in the interrupted frame space 9, a transparent or translucent resin plate ( For example, a medium-thickness panel 11 such as an acrylic plate) or a glass plate is arranged from both front and back sides.

Further, in the lower frame space 9, a single hollow panel 12 formed in a hollow shape with a metal plate is arranged. The thin plate panel 10 and the medium-thickness panel 11 are arranged such that the outer surfaces thereof are flush with the horizontal frames 6 to 8. On the other hand, the hollow panel 12 is thinner than the horizontal frames 6-8.

At the lower end of the thin plate panel 10, the horizontal frame 6
The lower inclined portion 10a that abuts or is in close contact with the continuous portion of the upper ends of the to 8 and the chamfered portion 48, and the lower locking piece 10b that fits into the center engaging groove 46 are formed. The panel 10 is held irreversibly in its lower part.

Further, the upper end of the thin plate panel 10 is formed with an upper inclined portion 10c which comes into contact with or is in close contact with a continuous portion of the lower ends of the horizontal frames 6 to 8 and the chamfered portion 48. From this inclined portion 10c. The folded-back portion 10d extending toward the inside of the frame space 9 extends. Then, an upper locking piece 51 made of a leaf spring, which is fitted into the side engaging groove 47 of the horizontal frames 6 to 8, is fixed to the folded-back portion 10d with a screw 52.

There is a gap between the upper inclined portion 10c of the thin plate panel 10 and the chamfered portion 48 of the lateral frames 6 to 8 such that a thin member such as a flat-blade screwdriver can be inserted.

The upper locking pieces 51 are partially provided on the upper end portion of the thin plate panel 10 (for example, in the case of a lateral width of about 900 mm, about two pieces are enough). As clearly shown in FIG. 10, a cutout hole 53 is formed in the upper inclined portion 10c of the thin plate panel 10 to facilitate the escape deformation of the upper locking piece 51.

In the thin panel 10, the upper and lower locking pieces 10
b and 51 form the locking means described in the center engaging groove. In addition, the upper and lower locking pieces can be integrally formed by cutting and raising the thin plate panel 10.

When mounting the thin plate panel 10, first,
The lower locking piece 10b is fitted in the center engaging groove 46 of the lower horizontal frame 6 to 8 in a slightly tilted posture, and then the upper locking piece 51 is pushed to push the upper locking piece 51 of the upper horizontal frame 6 to 8. It suffices to fit it in the side engagement groove 47.

When removing, the upper part and the horizontal frames 6 to 8
It suffices to insert a device 54 such as a flat-blade screwdriver into the gap between the upper and the lower locking pieces 51 against the elasticity of the upper locking piece 51.

It is also possible to allow a person to attach / detach the panel with only his / her hands by leaving a space between the horizontal frames 6 to 8 and a detachable type such as the thin plate panel 10 so that a person's finger can be inserted. It is possible.

Since the horizontal frames 6 to 8 are provided with the chamfered portions 48, the thin panel 10 can be easily removed. It should be noted that, although needless to say, the left and right ends of the thin plate panel 10 do not interfere with the vertical frame 5.

At the upper end and the lower end of the middle-thickness panel 11,
The lower locking piece 10c and the upper locking piece 51 are fixed with a screw 56 via a contact plate 55. The contact plate 55 has screws 56
The boss 55a into which the screw is screwed is integrally formed. Therefore, even if the medium-thickness panel 11 is a brittle material such as glass or acrylic resin, it is not cracked by fastening.

The procedure for attaching / removing the medium-thickness panel 11 is the same as that for the thin plate panel 10. For example, when one side of the partition is not visible from the outside as in the case where two frame spaces are arranged back to back, the thin panel 10 or the middle-thickness panel 11 may be attached only to that one side.

(7). Second Mode (FIG. 11) As shown in FIG. 11 (A), a perforated metal plate panel (punching metal panel) 58 can be used as the detachable panel.

In this case, as shown in FIG. 11 (B), a transparent or semi-transparent tough film 59 is attached to one or both sides of the perforated metal plate panel 58 to form a push pin 60.
It is also possible to have a pin-up function that can fix papers with.

(8). Third Mode (FIG. 12) FIG. 12 shows the third mode. (A) is a back view,
(B) is (A) BB sectional drawing. In this aspect,
Surface plate 6 made of metal plate (steel plate) as a detachable panel
A laminated panel 63 in which a core material 62 is attached to the back side of 1 is used. In this example, the surface plate 61 has the same form as the thin plate panel 10 of the first aspect.

(9). Fourth Mode (FIG. 13) FIG. 13 shows the fourth mode. (A) is a front view,
(B) is a BB sectional drawing of (A). In this aspect, a cloth-shaped, mesh-shaped, or sheet-shaped screen panel 64 is used as the removable panel. The screen panel 64 may have a single-layer structure or a multi-layer structure.

On the upper end of the screen panel 64, an upper hook body 65 that is hooked and engaged with the front engaging groove 49 of the horizontal frames 6 to 8 from above is integrally attached. An upper hook body 66 that is hooked from below and engages with the front engagement groove 49 of the frames 6 to 8 is integrally attached.

The screen panel 64 can be slightly elastically deformed in the vertical direction, and by utilizing this extension, the screen panel 64 can be easily attached and detached. In the figure, the hook 6 is attached to the front and rear screen panels 64.
The shapes of 5, 66 are different, but their functions are the same.

The screen panel 64 does not need to be locked to the horizontal frames 6 to 8 which are vertically adjacent to each other, and can be hooked on the upper horizontal frame 6 and the lower horizontal frame 7, for example. Screen panel 64
It is also possible to use it as a projection screen panel by attaching.

It is also possible to give various designs such as making the screen panel 64 stand out. Further, as indicated by the one-dot chain line, the screen panel 6
4 may be shorter than the distance between the horizontal widths of the horizontal frames 6 and 8.)

(10). Fifth Mode (FIGS. 14 to 15) FIGS. 14 to 15 show the fifth mode. 14 is a plan sectional view, and FIG. 15 is a sectional view taken along line XV-XV of FIG. In this aspect, two types of thin panel 10 and medium-thickness panel 11 are used as removable panels.

Both the panels 10 and 11 are common to the other examples in that the upper and lower locking pieces 51 and 10b are used. The difference from the other examples is that the panels 10 and 11 are different from each other. That is, they are arranged so as to form the front and rear surfaces of the vertical frame 5.

As can be easily understood from this example, the detachable panel has the locking pieces 51, 10 regardless of its thickness.
By changing the dimension of b, the front-back position of the surface can be freely set.
