Convenient.

  Here, as described above, when the storage portion 14 of the partition 10 has a penetrating structure, the strength tends to be insufficient, but in this embodiment, the reinforcing load-bearing panel 30 occupying about half the area of the upper penetrating portion 18. Therefore, the lack of strength due to the provision of the upper penetrating portion 18 can be solved. As a result, according to the present embodiment, sufficient support strength can be ensured even when the upper penetrating portion 18 is provided in the storage portion 14 to incorporate the television 20.

  Furthermore, since the load-bearing panel 30 occupying about half the area of the upper penetrating portion 18 in the front view of the partition 10 is selected as the reinforcing means as described above, the upper penetrating portion 18 can be reinforced over a wide range. Therefore, the upper side through portion 18 of the partition 10 can be reinforced extremely effectively.

  Further, in the present embodiment, a configuration is adopted in which a plurality of televisions 22 are connected in the row direction with a connecting plate 46, and a rotating shaft 32 is provided on the connecting plate 46 so as to be rotatably supported at the end of the load-bearing panel 30. Therefore, a display object having a large display size (in the example of this embodiment, a panoramic television 20 having a large screen size in the row direction) or the like can be integrally rotated around the rotation axis 32 at a time. As a result, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to cope with an increase in screen size and a plurality of types of screen displays, which are one of viewer needs, and the TV 20 can be viewed from both the front side and the back side of the partition 10. You can watch it.

  Furthermore, in this embodiment, since the load-bearing panel 30 is configured as a hollow panel, the internal space 38 of the load-bearing panel 30 can be used as a wiring space. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the wiring 40 from being exposed in the storage portion 14 of the partition 10 in a complicated state. Moreover, since the inspection opening 42 is formed in the load-bearing panel 30, the maintenance inspection can be easily performed by removing the plate member 36 on the back side. As a result, according to the present embodiment, the appearance quality of the partition 10 can be improved, and the workability of the maintenance inspection work can be improved.

  In addition, in the present embodiment, the first wiring cover 56 and the second wiring cover 58 that are relatively rotatable are provided on the connection plate 46 and the load-bearing panel 30, and the wiring 40 is passed through the first wiring cover 56 and the second wiring cover 58. The rotating operation around the rotating shaft 32 is not hindered by the wiring 40, and the wiring 40 around the rotating shaft 32 is not exposed to the outside. Therefore, the appearance quality of the partition 10 can be further improved while ensuring the smooth rotation operation of the television 20.

  Further, since the connecting plate 46 has a vertical cross-sectional shape and the wiring 40 is routed in the row direction (lateral direction) in the recess 50, the wiring 40 is also provided on the back surface side of the television 20. Storage space can be secured. Therefore, according to this embodiment, the routing route of the wiring 40 can be easily secured.

  Furthermore, in this embodiment, since the recessed part 50 of the connection plate 46 is closed with the wiring cover 54, the wiring 40 is not visible to the viewer from the back side. Therefore, the appearance quality of the partition 10 can be further improved. A cap or the like is fitted to the end of the connecting plate 46 in the longitudinal direction.

  [Supplementary explanation of this embodiment]

  Below, supplementary explanation of this embodiment is given.

  (1) In the partition 10 according to the present embodiment, the TV 20 of 1 row × 3 columns is rotatably provided in the upper and lower three stages. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and various combinations can be adopted.

  For example, in the example shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, a large television 74 having a size approximately equal to the upper half of the partition 70 can be rotated as a single unit in the storage portion 72 provided in the upper half of the partition 70. It has been incorporated. Such a large television 74 can be viewed on both the front side and the back side of the partition 70 in the same manner as in the above-described embodiment. In this embodiment as well, the load-bearing panel 30 is naturally installed, and the inspection opening 42 appears by removing the plate 36 on the back side.

  Further, for example, in the example shown in FIG. 8, a large number of shelves 16 are arranged in a grid shape in a portion corresponding to the main body 12 of the partition 76, thereby improving the storage property. Further, in this example, unlike the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, a total of nine small televisions 22 are integrated and a large television 78 is incorporated in the storage unit 14.

In this case, the first wiring cover 80 may be fixed to the bottom surface of the recess 50 of the connecting plate 46.

  (3) The material of each member described in the present embodiment described above may be arbitrarily selected. For example, the connection plate 46 may be made of metal, may be made of resin having relatively high strength, and the first wiring cover 56 and the second wiring cover 58 are not limited to resin, but are made of metal. But it doesn't matter. Appropriate materials may be selected in consideration of the color tone and design with peripheral parts / members.

  (4) In the partition 10 according to the present embodiment, an example in which a panel-type television (image display device) is incorporated in the partition 10 has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and any display object may be used. However, you may make it accommodate a photograph, a picture, etc. As described above, the “display object” in the present invention includes those for various uses other than viewing and viewing.

However, when the partition 10 is regarded as a partition of a building, for example, it is referred to as “building partition” or “(multi) TV built-in partition”. It may be the name of the invention.

  (6) In the partition 10 according to the present embodiment, the partition 10 is described as being fixed to the floor of the room simply or not at all (for example, a caster or the like is attached to enable movement on the floor). However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the present invention can also be applied to those that fix the partition to the floor surface.

  (7) Although a normal partition is recognized as partitioning the space, the partition 10 according to the present embodiment has a storage unit 14 and a shelf 16 as a penetrating structure, and thus completely partitions the room space. is not. Further, in the partition 10 according to the present embodiment, the overall shape is formed in a rectangular shape when viewed from the front. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the overall shape when viewed from the front may be a staircase shape. The shape can be adopted.
