Description

  The present invention relates to a glass plate connection structure in a panel system, and more specifically, has a sufficient support strength, facilitates construction / assembly work and dismantling work, and has excellent appearance after connection. The present invention relates to a structure and a panel body used therefor.

  Conventionally, a rubber member for sound insulation is attached over the entire length of the summing part of the vertical side end surfaces of adjacent glass panels, and when the glass panel is in a closed state, the rubber is compressed or closely adhered, in particular, One cross-sectional shape of the rubber member bonded to the vertical end face of the glass panel is a convex arc shape, and the cross-sectional shape of the rubber member bonded to the opposing vertical end face of the adjacent glass panel is a concave arc shape so that they are fitted to each other The structure which was made is proposed (for example, refer patent document 1). However, this structure is a structure used for the summing part in the closed state of the glass panel with the partition movable, and both the rubber members in the fitting relationship have no supporting strength and connect the glass plates to each other. It cannot be used as a joint fitting.

  In addition, as a structure for directly connecting the panels, a spacer and joint material are integrated to form a molding material, and another joint material made of resin is fitted into the fitting groove formed in the molding material. The joint structure of the wall panel comprised by this joint material so that the clearance gap between the joining end surfaces of an adjacent wall panel may be covered at least from the inner surface side is proposed (for example, refer patent document 2). However, it is necessary for such a molding material to form a fitting structure such as a concave groove for fitting the molding material to both panel end faces, which is difficult in the case of a glass plate, and its mounting is one side. After fixing the molding material to the panel end surface with a caulking agent, etc., the other panel end surface will be fixed to the molding material with the same caulking agent, etc. Therefore, it is necessary to remove the molding material to which the caulking agent is attached from the end of the panel, which causes a decrease in workability.

  On the other hand, as a structure in which the glass plates are linearly connected using joints, the first joint member is formed at a right angle by providing a pair of sandwiching legs at the center of the buttock contacting the surface of both panel plates. It is assumed that two locking strips are projected at different distances from the base at the tip of the opposing surface side of each clamping leg, and the second joint member is a An engaging leg is provided at a right angle at the center, and locking ridges are formed on both surfaces of the intermediate portion of the engaging leg so as to be locked to the locking ridge, and the first joint member is formed from one side of the front and back sides. The base end facing the locking ridge by inserting the clamping leg of the second joint member between the clamping legs from the opposite side, with the buttocks in contact with the surface of the panel board. A structure has been proposed in which the hook is engaged with the pair of locking strips on the side, and the collar portion is elastically held in contact with the back surface of the panel plate. In addition, as a structure for connecting both panel plates at a right angle, the first joint member is formed in a substantially L-shaped cross section so that the shape of the collar portion is in contact with the inner corner surface of the corner portion of both panel plates. And the second joint member is formed to have a substantially L-shaped cross section so that the shape of the collar portion is in contact with the outer corner surface of the corner portions of both panel plates. There has been proposed a structure in which the same engaging leg is projected from the corner (see, for example, Patent Document 3).

  Such a connection structure using the first joint member and the second joint member also requires a complicated operation of assembling the first joint member and the second joint member from the front and back between the panels and connecting the panels. It is also necessary to manage these joint members. In addition, such a joint tool is to support and connect the panels by the collar portions of the first joint member and the second joint member, but these collar portions will be raised from the front and back surfaces of the panel in the connected state. Not very preferable. The construction of the glass partition that connects the glass plates requires conventional installation of glass in the field and requires a partition construction craftsman and a glass craftsman. Such a problem can be solved by enclosing the four sides of the glass with a frame member to form a panel, but when glass is connected continuously through joints, on-site construction that currently requires partitioning craftsmen and glass craftsmen There was only a mold, and the joint method was caulking and resin joint material was used, so the appearance was poor and the strength was low.
