Description

  The present invention relates to a movable partition wall that is mainly used to partition a living room space of a house and can be moved in accordance with a change in a lifestyle or a life stage of a resident.

  In recent years, when it is important to extend the lifespan of homes, interior systems that can flexibly respond to changes in the lifestyles and life stages of residents by changing the living room space in a flexible manner as well as increasing the durability of structural housings, etc. It has been demanded. In order to construct such an interior system, a movable partition wall is an indispensable element.

  Conventional movable partition walls are divided into those having high mounting strength and strong elements as walls, and those having strong elements as joinery that can be easily moved by residents. However, the former involves installation work by a contractor, and the resident cannot move the partition wall easily, so the room space cannot be changed flexibly, and the latter is very simple in structure and design. In terms of soundproofing and strength, it was not something that could be called a wall.

  Therefore, in recent years, a movable partition wall has been proposed in which the mounting strength is stable and the occupant can move it. For example, the movable partition wall described in Patent Document 1 includes a cross member that can be raised and lowered at the upper end thereof, and the rubber member at the lower end is pressed against the floor surface by bringing the cross member into contact with the ceiling surface. Thus, it is stretched and fixed across the floor surface and the ceiling surface. Then, the movable partition wall can be moved by lowering the cross member and releasing the tension fixation.

  In addition, the partition wall described in Patent Document 2 has a wall body that can be raised and lowered. By raising the wall body, the partition wall is fixed from the floor surface to the ceiling surface, and the wall body is lowered to lower the caster. By projecting from the lower end of the wall body, sliding movement on the floor surface is possible.
