  In such a partition panel device, since the frame material in the vertical direction is usually longer than the frame material in the horizontal direction and it is necessary to prevent the panel from buckling, it is required to increase its strength.

  In recent years, the frame material of the partition panel device as such office furniture is often made of aluminum because of its lightweight texture, flexibility in shape processing, and the like. However, since aluminum frame materials are weaker than conventional steel frame materials, especially for frame materials in the vertical direction, the cross-sectional area is increased so as to increase the strength, resulting in an increase in cost. It was.

  In view of the above circumstances, the present invention can ensure sufficient strength without increasing the cross-sectional area of a vertical frame member formed from a material with inferior strength such as aluminum, that is, a side frame frame. An object of the present invention is to provide a partition panel device that can be used.

The insertion holes are provided in the vertical direction of the upper frame rod and the lower frame rod, and the reinforcing rods are inserted into the insertion holes.

(1) According to the first aspect of the present invention, in order to facilitate processing, even when the side frame rod is formed of a low-strength material, the reinforcing rod inserted into the insertion hole provides sufficient strength. Can be obtained.

(2) According to the invention described in claim 2, even if all of the vertical and horizontal frame rods are made of aluminum, the side frame rods requiring the highest strength are sufficiently reinforced by the steel reinforcing rods. Therefore, there is no hindrance to the strength of the entire frame, and the advantage of the aluminum material, that is flexibility of processing, can be exhibited in the design design of the frame.

(3) According to the invention described in claim 3, not only simply inserting and inserting the reinforcing rod into the side frame rod, but also screwing the screw penetrating the reinforcing rod in the left-right direction into the upper and lower frame rods, In addition to preventing the reinforcing rods from rattling in the side frame rods, the side frame rods can be firmly connected to the upper and lower frame rods, and the workability is good. .

(4) According to the invention described in claim 4, the corner portion of the frame rod is obtained by tightening the screws, the end portions of the side frame rods, and the end portions of the upper frame rod and the lower frame rod. Can be coupled firmly and accurately at the desired angle. Therefore, even if it does not depend on welding etc., it can assemble in the place of use, maintaining sufficient connection strength.

(5) According to the fifth aspect of the present invention, the reinforcing plates of the partition panel devices adjacent to each other can be directly coupled to each other by the coupling plate, so that a strong coupling can be achieved.

(6) According to the invention described in claim 6, since the legs can be directly coupled to the reinforcing rod, a strong support structure can be realized, and the entire partition panel device can be stably supported by the legs. .
