Description

【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、部屋を複数の空間に仕切るための間仕切り体を付設した家具に関する。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
近年、オフィス等において、部屋のレイアウト変更に随時対応できるように、間仕切り体（パーテーション）を使用することが広く知られており（例えば、特許文献１を参照）、従来では、このような間仕切り体は、施工業者に依頼して天井面又は床面に設置、固定しておく必要があり、このため、間仕切り体による部屋のレイアウト変更、即ち区分け変更を簡単迅速には行い得ないという問題があった。
【０００３】
【特許文献１】
特開平９−２７９７２６号公報
【０００４】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
そこで、上記問題を解決するために、オフィス等において室内空間の幾通りかの区分けを予め想定して、この想定に基づいて天井面及び／又は床面に支持レールを設置、固定しておき、このレールに沿って間仕切り体を引き出して室内空間を区分けすることが既に提案されている。
【０００５】
しかしながら上記提案のものでは、部屋の天井面及び／又は床面に予め想定した部屋割りに基づいて、間仕切り体を固定するための支持レールを設置しておく必要があり、レイアウト変更に必ずしも柔軟に対応しているとは言えなかった。
【０００６】
また、部屋のレイアウト変更に自由に対応できるものとして、ローパーテションと呼ばれる全高の低い衝立式の間仕切り体も提案されているが、これは、簡易的に空間を仕切るものであって、天井面まで届かず、従って独立した空間に区分けすることができず、遮音性等に問題があった。
【０００７】
本発明は、上記に鑑み提案されたもので、独立した空間の間仕切りに当たり、施工業者に依頼することなく自由なレイアウト変更に対応でき、しかも間仕切りを必要としない場合には、間仕切り体を家具本体にコンパクトに格納できるようにした、間仕切り体付き家具を提供することを目的としている。
【０００８】
【課題を解決するための手段】
前記目的を達成するために、請求項１の発明は、床面に置かれる家具本体と、この家具本体に設けられる収納ボックスと、この収納ボックス内に該ボックスの開放上面を通して収納可能な間仕切り体と、この間仕切り体をそれが収納ボックス内に没入した収納位置と該ボックス上方に起立した使用位置との間で昇降自在に支持する昇降案内機構と、その間仕切り体及び収納ボックス間に設けられて該間仕切り体を随時に昇降操作し得る昇降操作機構とを備え、家具本体と、使用位置に保持した間仕切り体とにより、家具本体が置かれた部屋を複数の空間に仕切るようにしたことを特徴としている。
【０００９】
この請求項１の特徴によれば、家具に間仕切り体を一体化したことで、間仕切り体を天井面や床面に特別に固定しておかなくても、安定した独立空間の間仕切りが可能となって、室内空間の自由なレイアウト変更に高い自由度を以て対応できるようになり、またそのレイアウト変更に当たり、施工業者等による建物への間仕切り体の脱着工事は不要となる。しかも間仕切りを必要としない場合には、家具本体自体は家具として普通に使用できる上、間仕切り体を該家具本体にコンパクトに格納しておくことができるため、不用な間仕切り体の保管、管理が簡便であり、収納保管場所を特別に確保する必要もない。
【００１０】
また請求項２の発明は、床面に置かれる家具本体と、この家具本体に設けられる収納ボックスと、この収納ボックス内に該ボックスの開放上面を通して収納可能な間仕切り体と、この間仕切り体をそれが収納ボックス内に没入した収納位置と該ボックス上方に起立した使用位置との間で昇降自在に支持する昇降案内機構と、その間仕切り体及び収納ボックス間に設けられて該間仕切り体を随時に昇降操作し得る昇降操作機構と、間仕切り体の自由端に軸支されていて、該間仕切り体の延長上に位置する張出位置と家具本体の天板上に重合、載置し得る格納位置との間を回動可能な延長板と、その延長板を前記張出位置に固定可能なロック機構とを備え、家具本体と、使用位置に保持した間仕切り体と、張出位置にロックした延長板とにより、家具本体が置かれた部屋を仕切るようにしたことを特徴とする。この特徴によれば、請求項１の発明の前記作用効果に加えて、延長板を張出位置にロックすることで間仕切り体の有効長さを延長させることができるため、家具本体が低い場合や天井が高い場合でも、該延長板により間仕切り体の有効長さを天井まで届くよう十分に確保できて、独立した空間の間仕切りが可能となる。また間仕切りが不要な場合に延長板を間仕切り体に対し９０度折り畳むようにして家具本体の天板上に重合、載置しておくことができるため、延長板が収納ボックス内に収納できなくても、該延長板を家具本体に無理なくコンパクトに格納可能となる。
【００１１】
また請求項３の発明は、請求項２の上記特徴に加えて、前記延長板の自由端には、該延長板が前記張出位置にあるときに天井面に密接し得る帯状の弾性クッション材が装着されることを特徴としており、この特徴によれば、この弾性クッション材により、延長板自由端と天井面との密着性が高められる上、遮音性も向上する。
【００１２】
また請求項４の発明は、請求項１〜３の何れかの上記特徴に加えて、家具本体の底面には、複数のストッパ付きキャスタが設けられ、更にその家具本体の背面下部には、該家具本体の底面と床面との間の隙間を該家具本体の背面側より覆う弾性シートが装着されることを特徴とし、この特徴によれば、家具本体の移動及び設定位置への固定が容易となり、部屋のレイアウト変更に柔軟に対応できる上、その作業性が良好となる。またキャスタを特設したことで、家具本体底面と床面との間に隙間が生じても、その隙間を覆う上記弾性シートにより遮音性を確保することができる。
【００１３】
また請求項５の発明は、請求項１〜４の何れかの上記特徴に加えて、家具本体の前面にはコンセントが配設され、このコンセントに連なり外部電源に接続可能な接続コードが、家具本体内に収納されることを特徴とし、この特徴によれば、レイアウト変更後の家具本体移動先で電気配線に困ることがない。
【００１４】
また請求項６の発明は、床面に置かれる家具本体と、この家具本体の頂部に軸支されて所定の張出位置及び格納位置間を回動可能な間仕切り体と、この間仕切り体を前記張出位置に固定可能なロック機構とを備え、間仕切り体は、これが前記格納位置にあるときには家具本体の天板上に重合、載置され、また前記張出位置にあるときにはその自由端が天井面に達して家具本体との協働により、家具本体が置かれた部屋を仕切るようにしたことを特徴とし、この特徴によれば、請求項１と同様の作用効果が得られる。
【００１５】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明の実施の形態を、添付図面に例示した本発明の実施例に基づいて以下に具体的に説明する。
【００１６】
添付図面において、図１〜図９は本発明の実施例を示すものであって、図１は、間仕切り体付きオフィス家具を示す全体斜視図、図２、図１の２矢視拡大図、図３は、前記家具の一部を破断して示す側面図（図２の３矢視より見た一部破断図）、図４は、図３の４−４線断面図、図５は、図４の５−５線拡大断面図、図６は、図１の６矢視拡大図、図７は、図６の７矢視より見た一部破断図、図８は、図７の８−８線断面図、図９は、延長板を張出位置にロックするためのロック機構の分解斜視図（図８の９矢視より見た分解斜視図）、図１０は、第２家具の一部を破断して示す側面図（図７対応図）、図１１は、第３家具の一部を破断して示す側面図（図７対応図）、図１２は、第１〜第３家具の変形例を示す側面図である。
【００１７】
先ず、図１において、オフィスにおける部屋の床面ｆには、本発明の間仕切り体付き家具としての比較的低い２つの第１オフィス家具Ｃ１，Ｃ１と、それよりもやや背の高い１つの第２オフィス家具Ｃ２と，更に背の高い第３オフィス家具Ｃ３とが横並びに設置されている。
【００１８】
次に図２〜図９を併せて参照して，第１オフィス家具Ｃ１の構造を説明する。第１オフィス家具Ｃ１は、前面を開放した函状の家具本体Ｈ１と，この家具本体Ｈ１の開放前面を横開き式に開閉可能な扉Ｔ１と、家具本体Ｈ１の背面に一体的に連設された収納ボックスＢ１と、この収納ボックスＢ１内に該ボックスＢ１の開放上面を通して収納可能な矩形平板状の間仕切り体Ｐ１と、この間仕切り体Ｐ１をそれが収納ボックスＢ１内に没入した収納位置と該ボックスＢ１上方に起立した使用位置との間で昇降自在に支持する昇降案内機構Ｇと、その間仕切り体Ｐ１及び収納ボックスＢ１間に設けられて該間仕切り体Ｐ１を随時に所望高さまで昇降操作し得る昇降操作機構Ｊと、間仕切り体Ｐ１の有効長さを延長し得るよう該間仕切り体Ｐ１の自由端にヒンジ機構１を介してピボット連結されていて、該間仕切り体Ｐ１の延長上に位置する張出位置と家具本体Ｐ１の天板２上に重合、載置し得る格納位置との間を回動可能な延長板Ｐｓと、その延長板Ｐｓを前記張出位置に随時に固定可能なロック機構Ｌとを備えている。
【００１９】
前記昇降案内機構Ｇは，収納ボックスＢ１の底部に一体的に立設されて該ボックスＢ１内をそれぞれ鉛直に延びる左右一対のガイドポスト３と，その両ガイドポスト３に上下摺動自在に嵌合し得るよう間仕切り体Ｐ１内部に形成された左右一対のガイド孔４とで構成される。
【００２０】
また前記昇降操作機構Ｊは，収納ボックスＢ１の底部に固設した下部レール５に左右方向に摺動可能に支持される左右一対の下部スライド体６と、間仕切り体Ｐ１の底部に固設した上部レール７に左右方向に摺動可能に支持される左右一対の上部スライド体８と、上，下部スライド体６，８に上，下端がそれぞれ枢支連結されたパンタグラフ式のリンク機構Ｌと，左右の下部スライド体６に螺合され一方向への回転により両下部スライド体６を互いに接近させ、また他方向への回転により両下部スライド体６を互いに離間させるネジ棒９と、家具本体Ｈ１内に臨む収納ボックスＢ１前壁に回動自在に貫通支持された回動操作軸１０と、この回動操作軸１０及びネジ棒９間を連動回転させる駆、被動ベベルギヤよりなるギヤ機構Ｂｅとを備える。
【００２１】
前記回動操作軸１０には，家具本体Ｈ１内に臨む工具係合孔１０ｈが形成されており、この係合孔１０ｈに家具本体Ｈ１内より係合させたバーハンドル１１を回転させることにより、回動操作軸１０延いてはネジ棒９を回転操作することができ、該ネジ棒９の前記一方向への回転操作により両下部スライド体６を互いに接近させることで、リンク機構Ｌを起立展開させて間仕切り体Ｐ１を上昇操作でき，また前記他方向への回転により両下部スライド体６を互いに離間させることで、リンク機構Ｌを下方へ収縮するよう折り畳んで間仕切り体Ｐ１を下降操作できるようになっている。
【００２２】
また前記ロック機構Ｌは、図９に明確に示すように間仕切り体Ｐ１の左右両側面の上部に形成された第１凹所１２に開口する第１ネジ孔１２ａと、前記延長板Ｐｓの左右両側面の下部に形成された第２凹所１３に開口する第２ネジ孔１３ａと、該延長板Ｐｓが前記張出位置にある時に第１，第２凹所１２、１３に亘って嵌合可能なロックプレート１４と、このロックプレート１４を貫通し且つ前記第１，第２ネジ孔１２ａ、１３ａに螺挿されて該プレート１４を両凹所１２、１３に締結することで延長板Ｐｓを前記張出位置にロックし得るロックボルト１５とより構成されている。
【００２３】
前記延長板Ｐｓの自由端には、該延長板Ｐｓが前記張出位置にあるときに部屋の天井面ｔに密接し得るゴム等の弾性材より形成した帯状弾性クッション材Ｓが、該延長板Ｐｓの自由端面を覆うように装着される。
【００２４】
また前記家具本体Ｈ１の底面には、複数のストッパ付きキャスタ２１が設けられる。更にその家具本体Ｈ１の背面下部には、該家具本体Ｈ１の底面と床面ｆとの間の隙間を該家具本体Ｈ１の背面側より覆って床面ｆに接する弾性シートＳ′が装着され、このシートＳ′は、ゴム等の弾性材より形成される。
【００２５】
また前記家具本体Ｈ１の前面下部にはコンセント２２が配設され、このコンセント２２に連なり外部電源に接続可能なコネクタ付き接続コード２３が、家具本体Ｈ１内の底部に画成したコード収納室２４に収納されている。その接続コード２３は、家具本体Ｈ１の前面下部に開設した開閉蓋２５付きの開口部より外部に引出し可能となっている。
【００２６】
而してこの第１家具Ｃ１においては、家具本体Ｈ１と、使用位置に保持した間仕切り体Ｐ１と、この間仕切り体Ｐ１上で張出位置にロックした延長板Ｐｓとにより、家具本体Ｈ１が置かれた部屋を仕切ることができる。
【００２７】
また第２家具Ｃ２は、図１、図１０に示すように、家具本体Ｈ２の背がやや高い点や、延長板Ｐｓが省略される点だけが前記第１家具Ｃ１と異なるものであり、その他の構造は、第１家具Ｃ１と基本的に同一である。そしてこの第２家具Ｃ２においては、家具本体Ｈ２がやや高いことに関係して，収納ボックスＢ２の収納スペースが上下方向に大きくなっていて、そこに収納される間仕切り体Ｐ２が上下方向に大形に形成されており、このため、延長板Ｐｓを省略しても間仕切り体Ｐ２の自由端を天井面ｔまで届かせることが可能となっている。なお、この第２家具Ｃ２では、間仕切り体Ｐ２の自由端に帯状弾性クッション材Ｓが装着される。
【００２８】
而してこの第２家具Ｃ２においては、家具本体Ｈ２と、使用位置に保持した間仕切り体Ｐ１とにより、家具本体Ｈ１が置かれた部屋を仕切ることができる。
【００２９】
さらに第３家具Ｃ３は、図１、図１１に示すように、家具本体Ｈ３の背が更に高い点や、間仕切り体Ｐ３が家具本体Ｈ３の頂部にヒンジ機構１を介してピボット連結され（従って延長板と収納ボックスと昇降案内機構と昇降操作機構とが省略され）る点、間仕切り体Ｐ３を張出位置に固定可能なロック機構Ｌが該間仕切り体Ｐ３と家具本体Ｈ３間に配設される点において、第１，第２家具Ｃ１，Ｃ２と相違しており、その他の構造は、第１，第２家具Ｃ１，Ｃ２と同一である。
【００３０】
そしてこの第３家具Ｃ３においては、間仕切り体Ｐ３は、鉛直な張出位置と水平な格納位置との間を回動可能であり、特に格納位置にあるときには家具本体Ｈ３の天板２上に重合、載置され、また前記張出位置にあるときにはその自由端が天井面ｔに達して家具本体Ｈ３との協働により、家具本体Ｈ３が置かれた部屋を仕切ることができる。尚、この第３家具Ｃ３の間仕切り体Ｐ３の自由端には帯状弾性クッション材Ｓが装着される。
【００３１】
次に前記実施例の作用を説明する。第１〜第３家具Ｃ１〜Ｃ３は、これらを単にオフィス家具として使用する場合には、例えば第１家具Ｃ１においては、間仕切り体Ｐ１を下限の収納位置に保持すると共に、延長板Ｐｓを、これが家具本体Ｈ１の天板上に重合載置した格納位置に保持しておく。また第２家具Ｃ２においては、間仕切り体Ｐ２を下限の収納位置に保持しておき、更に第３家具Ｃ３においては、間仕切り体Ｐ３を、これが家具本体Ｈ３の天板上に重合載置した格納位置に保持しておく。
【００３２】
また第１〜第３家具Ｃ１〜Ｃ３を利用して部屋の間仕切りを行う場合には、先ず、それら家具Ｃ１〜Ｃ３の少なくとも１つを間仕切りに必要な所望の位置までキャスタ２１を利用して移動させる。そしてその移動させた家具が第１家具Ｃ１である場合には、延長板Ｐｓを間仕切り体Ｐ１の延長上に位置する張出位置まで回動させ、その張出位置に延長板Ｐｓをロック機構Ｒにより固定した上で、該延長板Ｐｓが天井面ｔに当接するまで間仕切り体Ｐ１を収納位置より上昇させる。これにより、家具本体Ｈ１と間仕切り体Ｐ１と延長板Ｐｓとが協働して、部屋の、家具本体Ｈ１が置かれた空間の前後を仕切ることができる。
【００３３】
また、移動させた家具が第２家具Ｃ２である場合には、間仕切り体Ｐ２を、その自由端が天井面ｔに当接する使用位置まで上昇させ、これにより、家具本体Ｈ２と間仕切り体Ｐ２とが協働して、部屋の、家具本体Ｈ２が置かれた空間の前後を仕切ることができる。
【００３４】
更に、移動させた家具が第３家具Ｃ３である場合には、間仕切り体Ｐ３を、これが家具本体Ｈ３の天板上に鉛直に起立した張出位置まで上昇回動させ、その張出位置に間仕切り体Ｐ３をロック機構Ｒにより固定する。これにより、家具本体Ｈ３と、張出位置に保持した間仕切り体Ｐ３とが協働して、部屋の、家具本体Ｈ３が置かれた空間の前後を仕切ることができる。
【００３５】
このように家具Ｃ１〜Ｃ３に間仕切り体Ｐ１〜Ｐ３を一体化したことで、間仕切り体Ｐ１〜Ｐ３を天井面ｔや床面ｆに特別に固定しておかなくても、安定した独立空間の間仕切りが可能となって室内空間の自由なレイアウト変更に高い自由度を以て対応できるようになり、またそのレイアウト変更に当たり、施工業者等による建物への間仕切り体の脱着工事は不要となり、コスト節減や作業性向上が図られる。しかも間仕切りを必要としない場合には、通常の家具として普通に使用できる上、間仕切り体Ｐ１〜Ｐ３を家具本体Ｈ１〜Ｈ３にコンパクトに格納しておくことができるため、不用な間仕切り体Ｐ１〜Ｐ３の保管、管理が簡便であり、収納保管場所を特別に確保する必要もない。尚、前記実施例では、異なる種類の家具Ｃ１〜Ｃ３を横並びに配して間仕切りとして利用できるようにしたが、本発明では、同一種類の家具を１個又は複数個用いて間仕切りに利用するようにしてもよい。
【００３６】
また特に第１家具Ｃ１においては、延長板Ｐｓを張出位置にロックすることで間仕切り体Ｐ１の有効長さを延長させることができるため、家具本体Ｈ１が低い場合や天井が高い場合でも、該延長板Ｐｓにより間仕切り体Ｐ１の有効長さを天井まで届くよう十分に確保できて、独立した空間の間仕切りが可能となる。また間仕切りが不要な場合に延長板Ｐｓを間仕切り体Ｐ１に対し９０度折り畳むようにして家具本体Ｈ１の天板２上に重合、載置しておくことができるため、延長板Ｐｓが収納ボックスＢ１内に収納できなくても、該延長板Ｐｓを家具本体Ｈ１に無理なくコンパクトに格納可能となる。
【００３７】
また第１家具Ｃ１においては延長板Ｐｓの自由端に、また第２，第３家具Ｃ２，３においては間仕切り体Ｐ２，Ｐ３の自由端にそれぞれ天井面ｔに密接し得る帯状の弾性クッション材Ｓが装着されるため、この弾性クッション材Ｓにより、延長板Ｐｓ又は間仕切り体Ｐ２，Ｐ３の自由端と天井面ｔとの密着性が高められる上、遮音性も向上する。
【００３８】
また家具本体Ｈ１〜Ｈ３の底面には、複数のストッパ付きキャスタ２１が設けられ、更にその家具本体Ｈ１〜Ｈ３の背面下部に、該家具本体の底面と床面ｆとの間の隙間を覆う弾性シートＳ′が装着されるため、家具本体Ｈ１〜Ｈ３の移動及び設定位置への固定が容易となり、部屋のレイアウト変更に柔軟に対応できる上、その作業性が良好となる。またキャスタ２１を特設したことで、家具本体Ｈ１〜Ｈ３底面と床面ｆとの間に隙間が生じても、その隙間を覆う上記弾性シートＳ′により遮音性を確保することができる。
【００３９】
また家具本体Ｈ１〜Ｈ３の前面にはコンセント２２が配設され、このコンセント２２に連なり外部電源に接続可能な接続コード２３が、家具本体Ｈ１〜Ｈ３内に収納され、家具本体Ｈ１〜Ｈ３前壁の開閉蓋２５付きの開口部より外部に随時引出し可能となっているため、レイアウト変更後の家具本体移動先で電気配線に困ることがない。
【００４０】
以上、本発明の実施例を詳述したが、本発明は前記実施例に限定されるものでなく、種々の小設計変更を行うことが可能である。
【００４１】
例えば、前記実施例の第１家具Ｃ１では、間仕切り体Ｐ１の有効長さを延長するための延長板Ｐｓを間仕切り体Ｐ１の自由端に回動可能に軸支するようにしたものを示したが、本発明（請求項１）では、このような延長板を省略して、間仕切り体自体を伸縮可能に（例えばテレスコピック状に）構成することで間仕切り体の有効長さを延ばすようにしてもよい。また上記のように延長板を設けたり或いは間仕切り体自体を伸縮可能に構成しなくても間仕切り体の自由端が天井まで届くような場合（例えば天井が低い場合や家具本体が高い場合）には、前記実施例の第２家具Ｃ２のように延長板を省略し且つ間仕切り体Ｐ２を伸縮不能な単板で構成してもよい。
【００４２】
また前記実施例では、昇降操作機構Ｊをジャッキを組み込んだ手動式昇降機構としたが、本発明では、電動モータ等のアクチュエータで駆動される強制昇降機構としてもよい。
【００４３】
また前記実施例では、家具本体Ｈ１〜Ｈ３の底部にキャスタ２１を設けたものを示したが、本発明（請求項４を除く）では、キャスタを省略してもよい。
【００４４】
また前記実施例では、本発明をオフィス家具に適用したものを示したが、オフィス家具以外の家具にも本発明を適用可能である。
【００４５】
また前記実施例では、本発明を、家具本体Ｈ１〜Ｈ３の一面（即ち正面側）だけに開閉扉Ｔ１〜Ｔ３を有する家具Ｃ１〜Ｃ３に実施したものを示しており、例えば、第１，第２家具Ｃ１，Ｃ２の家具本体Ｈ１，Ｈ２にはその他面（即ち背面側）に収納ボックスＢ１，Ｂ２を連設して、そこに間仕切り体Ｐ１，Ｐ２を収納できるようにしているが、本発明は、図１２に例示したように家具本体Ｈ１〜Ｈ３の正面側と背面側の二面ともに開閉扉Ｔ１〜Ｔ３を設けた家具に適用してもよい。この場合において、第１，第２家具Ｃ１、Ｃ２においては、その家具本体Ｈ１，Ｈ２の前後中間部に収納ボックスＢ１，Ｂ２を配設し、また第３家具Ｃ３においては、その家具本体Ｈ３の天板２の前後中間部に間仕切り体Ｐ３をヒンジ連結１する。
【００４６】
【発明の効果】
以上のように本発明によれば、家具に間仕切り体が一体化されるので、間仕切り体を天井面や床面に特別に固定しておかなくても、安定した独立空間の間仕切りが可能となって、室内空間の自由なレイアウト変更に高い自由度を以て対応できるようになり、またそのレイアウト変更に当たり、施工業者等による建物への間仕切り体の脱着工事は不要となるから、コスト節減や作業性の向上に大いに寄与し得る。しかも間仕切りを必要としない場合に、家具本体自体は家具として普通に使用できる上、間仕切り体を該家具本体にコンパクトに格納しておくことができるため、不用な間仕切り体の保管、管理が簡便であり、収納保管場所を特別に確保する必要もない。
【００４７】
また特に請求項２の発明によれば、延長板を張出位置にロックすることで間仕切り体の有効長さを延長させることができるため、家具本体が低い場合や天井が高い場合でも、間仕切り体の有効長さを天井まで届くよう十分確保して、独立した空間の間仕切りが可能となる。また間仕切りが不要な場合には、延長板を間仕切り体に対し９０度折り畳むようにして家具本体の天板上に重合、載置しておくことができるから、延長板を収納ボックス内に収納できなくても、該延長板を家具本体に無理なくコンパクトに格納可能となり、しかもその格納位置の延長板がカウンターとして利用可能となる。
【００４８】
また特に請求項３の発明によれば、延長板の自由端に設けた弾性クッション材によって、延長板の自由端と天井面との密着性が高められる上、遮音性も向上する。
【００４９】
また特に請求項４の発明によれば、家具本体の底面には、複数のストッパ付きキャスタが設けられ、更にその家具本体の背面下部には、該家具本体の底面と設置面との間の隙間を該家具本体の背面側より覆う弾性シートが装着されるので、家具本体の移動及び設定位置への固定が容易となり、部屋のレイアウト変更に柔軟に対応できる上、その作業性が良好となる。またキャスタを特設したことで、家具本体底面と設置面との間に隙間が生じても、その隙間を覆う上記弾性シートにより遮音性を確保することができる。
【００５０】
また特に請求項５の発明によれば、家具本体の前面にコンセントが配設され、該コンセントに連なり外部電源に接続可能な接続コードが家具本体内に収納されるので、レイアウト変更後の家具本体移動先で電気配線に困ることがない。

[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Therefore, in order to solve the above-described problem, some divisions of the indoor space are assumed in advance in an office or the like, and a support rail is installed and fixed on a ceiling surface and / or a floor surface based on the assumption, It has already been proposed to draw out the partitioning body along this rail to partition the indoor space.
[0005]
However, in the above-mentioned proposal, it is necessary to install a support rail for fixing the partition body on the ceiling surface and / or floor surface of the room based on a presumed room layout, so that the layout change is not necessarily flexible. It could not be said that it corresponds.
[0006]
In addition, as a partition that can freely respond to changes in the layout of the room, a low partition type partitioning body called low partition has been proposed, but this is a simple partitioning space, and it can be used up to the ceiling surface. As a result, they could not be separated into independent spaces, and there was a problem with sound insulation and the like.
[0007]
The present invention has been proposed in view of the above, and is a partition for an independent space, can respond to a free layout change without requesting a contractor, and when a partition is not required, the partition body is a furniture body. It is an object of the present invention to provide furniture with a partition, which can be stored compactly.
[0008]
