Description

  The present invention relates to a vertical beam constituting a partition panel having a connecting function.

  A general partition device is constituted by connecting a plurality of panels. For this purpose, a vertically standing stud is interposed between the panels, and the panel is connected to the stud in a predetermined direction. FIG. 7 shows a cross section of a conventional partition device. As shown in FIG. 7, (a) the partition device is a straight line with two panels (A) and (A) through studs (B). It is linked to. In this partition device, a stud (b) stands up against the wall surface (c) of the building, and a stud (b) is also arranged at the tip.

  In the partition device shown in FIG. 5B, the panels (A), (A),... Are connected in an L shape, and are connected in a T shape at another position. For this purpose, a frame (d) is connected to the stud (b), and a panel (b) whose direction is changed in the vertical direction is connected to the frame (d). In this way, the panels (A) and (A) are connected in a straight line, or connected in an L shape or a T shape. However, in the structure shown in the figure, the panels (A) and (A) cannot be connected at other angles. Further, it is impossible to freely change the direction of the panel (A) in the connection structure including the stud (B) and the collar frame (D).

  “Moving blackboard” according to Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 51-96938 is composed of three blackboards A, B, C connected together, and these three blackboards A, B, C are connected by hinges. Yes. Accordingly, the directions of the blackboards A, B, and C can be freely changed. Further, folding stoppers 3 and 4 are attached to the upper ends of the blackboard A and the blackboard B, and the blackboard B and the blackboard C, respectively.

  In this way, the blackboards A, B, and C can be connected via hinges. If the panels (A), (A),. An apparatus can be comprised and the direction of panel (A), (A) ... is not limited to L shape, The direction can be defined freely. However, since the hinge is screwed to the end face of the panels (I) and (I), the direction in which the panels (I), (I), ... Cannot turn in the direction. Therefore, the directions of the panels (A), (A),... Connected through hinges are not completely free.

Further, in the case of the connecting structure using the hinge, the appearance as the partition device is not preferable, and there is a problem with respect to the connecting strength. That is, only hinges are attached to at least the upper and lower ends of the panels (A) and (B) connected to each other. The connection strength is insufficient in the number. On the other hand, in the case of the hinge joint structure, when both panels are stretched from a bent state to a linear state, there is a risk that a finger may be caught between the panel end surfaces to which the hinges are attached.

  Thus, the conventional panel connection structure has the above-described problems. The problem to be solved by the present invention is this problem, which is intended for a partition which is a simple partitioning device, can easily assemble a partition and can install a partition panel in a free orientation, and at any time. Provided is a vertical panel of partition panels configured so that its direction can be easily changed.

  The partition intended by the present invention has a simple structure and is configured so that the orientation of the panel can be freely changed. Therefore, the screen panel is provided with vertical bars on both sides of the rectangular panel plate, upper and lower bars on the upper and lower sides, and the side edges of the panel plate are formed over the entire length of the vertical bar. It fits in the groove. Here, the vertical rail is a long material whose outer surface is a smooth curved surface, the outer surface has a fitting groove into which the panel plate is fitted, and a coupling groove into which the coupling member is fitted on the opposite side of the fitting groove. Is provided over the entire length.

The screen is formed by connecting adjacent screen panels with a connecting member, which has a substantially I-shaped cross section (or a general H-shaped cross section) and is made of a soft resin curved portion and hard resin formed at both ends thereof. It consists of a fitting part. Of course, the connecting member does not necessarily have to be provided with a curved portion made of a soft resin, and can be configured by a connecting member made entirely of hard resin.

  By the way, the adjacent screen panels are connected by fitting the fitting portions formed at both ends of the connecting member into the connecting grooves formed in the vertical beam. Here, the structure of the panel board is free, but, for example, a white board that can be written, a cork board that can be posted, a baked paint, a transfer printed steel board, a cross-coated panel board, etc. are generally used. The

A cap is attached to the upper end of the vertical beam, and a caster is attached to the lower end of the vertical beam so as to be movable. Further, a lever is attached to the caster, and the caster can be locked by depressing the lever, and the partition panel stops at a predetermined position.

  The vertical rail of the partition panel according to the present invention has a fitting groove on the outer side surface, so that the side end of the panel plate is fitted into the fitting groove. A connecting groove is provided on the opposite side of the fitting groove, and the screen panel can be easily connected to both adjacent screen panels by fitting a fitting portion formed at the tip of the connecting member into the connecting groove. it can. Here, if a bending portion made of a soft resin is provided between both fitting portions of the connecting member, the connecting member can be bent and deformed so that the direction of the partition panel can be freely changed.

A caster is attached to the lower end of the vertical beam, and the direction of the partition panel can be changed easily and quickly. Of course, it is also easy to move the partition panel itself to another location. By the way, it is possible to easily assemble the screen panel by simply fitting the side edges of the panel plate into the fitting grooves of the vertical beam and connecting the upper beam and the lower beam provided above and below the panel plate to both vertical beams. The screen panel thus assembled can be easily connected by simply fitting the connecting portion of the connecting member into the connecting groove.

Then, both the screen panels are connected by a connecting member having substantially the same height, so that the connecting strength is high and stable as compared with the conventional hinge connecting structure that is partially connected. Further, the vertical bars of the partition panel are easy to hold because the outer surface has a smooth curved surface. When the partition panel is turned into a folded state, fingers of the hand are not pinched by the vertical bars.

The cross-sectional view of a state where the vertical beam and the panel plate are separated. The cross-sectional view when both screen panels are connected in a straight line. A specific example of a connecting member. When the connecting member is curved and the direction of the partition panel changes. Conventional panel connection structure.

  FIG. 1 is an embodiment showing a partition, and the partition consists of three partition panels 1a, 1b and 1c. The screen panels 1a, 1b, and 1c are configured by fitting a panel plate 3 to a frame 2, and the frame 2 has a structure in which an upper beam 4, a lower beam 5, and both vertical beams 6 and 6 are framed. The upper rail 4, the lower rail 5, and the vertical rails 6 and 6 are formed with fitting grooves over the entire length, and the edges (upper and lower ends and side edges) of the panel plate 3 are fitted into the fitting grooves and the partition panel 1. Is configured.

  A leg 8a extending outward from both sides is provided on one side of the lower end of the partition panel 1a, casters 7a, 7a are attached to both ends, and one caster 7a is attached to the other side of the lower end. Similarly, legs 8c extending outward from both sides are provided on one side of the lower end of the partition panel 1c, casters 7c and 7c are attached to both ends, and one caster 7c is attached to the other side of the lower end.

Further, legs 8b, 8b extending outward from both sides are provided on both sides of the lower end of the partition panel 1b, and casters 7b, 7b... Are attached to the ends of the legs 8b, 8b. Therefore, the partition which is the partition device constituted by the three partition panels 1a, 1b and 1c can stand up stably without falling down, and rolls the casters 7a, 7b, 7c. It is easy to move to another place. However, the mounting form of the casters 7a, 7b, 7c is not limited to the case shown in FIG.

  By the way, the partition panels 1a, 1b, 1c are connected by a connecting member so that the directions of the partition panels 1a, 1b, 1c can be freely changed. FIG. 2 shows a specific example in which the partition panel 1 is represented alone. The rectangular panel plate 3 is fitted into the frame 2 to form the partition panel 1, and the fitting grooves 9 and 9 are formed inside the vertical bars 6 and 6. Both ends are fitted, and the upper end of the panel plate 3 is fitted into the fitting groove formed in the upper beam 4, and the lower end of the panel plate 3 is fitted into the fitting groove formed in the lower beam 5. is doing.

  The upper beam 4, the lower beam 5, and the two vertical beams 6, 6 are framed by L-shaped brackets 10, 10,. That is, the horizontal piece 17 is screwed to the upper beam 4 or the lower beam 5, and the vertical piece 18 is screwed to the vertical beam 6. Here, a small groove into which the screw head fits is provided at the bottom of the fitting groove so that the screw head does not protrude from the bottom of the fitting groove 9 formed in the vertical beam 6. An upper cap 11 is fitted to the upper end of the vertical rail 6 so that the corner portion of the L-shaped bracket 10 is not exposed. A lower cap 12 is attached to the lower end of the vertical beam 6, and the caster 7 is attached to the lower cap 12.

  FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view showing the vertical beam 6 and the panel plate 3 in a separated state. As shown in the cross section of the figure, the vertical beam 6 is a long material having a substantially circular cross section, and a fitting groove 9 is formed over the entire length of a part of the outer surface. A small groove 20 into which the screw head fits is provided at the bottom over the entire length. And the side edge part of the panel board 3 fits in this fitting groove | channel 9. FIG. In addition, a relatively small connecting groove 16 is provided on the opposite side of the fitting groove 9 over the entire length. Unlike the fitting groove 9, the connecting groove 16 has a part of the groove width opened. ing.

  FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view showing a state in which the panel panels 1 a and 1 b configured by the panel plate 3 being fitted in the fitting groove 9 of the vertical beam 6 are connected to the connecting member 13. As described above, the partition panels 1 a and 1 b in which the panel plate 3 is fitted to the frame body 2 framed by the vertical rails 6 and 6, the upper rail 4, and the lower rail 5 are simply connected via the connecting member 13. That is, it can connect easily by fitting the fitting parts 15 and 15 of the connection member 13 in the connection grooves 16 and 16 formed in the vertical bars 6 and 6 of both the partition panels 1a and 1b.

  FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view showing a connecting member 13 for connecting the panels 1a and 1b. The connecting member 13 is a long material having a cross-sectional shape of I shape (or approximately H shape), a curved portion 14 made of a soft resin in a hatched portion, and fitting portions 15, 15 made of a hard resin at both side ends. have. Therefore, the fitting portions 15, 15 of the connecting member 13 are fitted into connecting grooves 16, 16 formed outside the vertical bars 6, 6 of the adjacent partition panels 1a, 1b. In the connecting member 13 shown in the figure, a part of the fitting portion 15 is also made of a soft resin. For this reason, when the fitting portion 15 is inserted into the connecting groove 16, the soft resin is deformed to form a gap. It can be inserted without any problems.

  The connecting groove 16 has an inlet opening 21 large enough to fit the curved portion 14, and the fitting portion 15 is attached to the connecting groove 16 so as not to come off. The fitting portion 15 of the connecting member 13 can be fitted into the connecting groove 16 from above the vertical rail 6 with the upper cap 11 removed, and the partition panels 1 a and 1 b are connected to each other by the connecting member 13.

  By the way, when the partition panels 1a and 1b are arranged linearly, the curved portion 14 is straight, but when the directions of the partition panel 1a and the partition panel 1b are different, the curved portion 14 has a predetermined curvature. Curved and deformed. In FIG. 6, if the partition panel 1b in a straight line with respect to the partition panel 1a turns about 90 ° and the partition panel 1b faces the vertical direction, the curved portion 14 can be smoothly deformed.

  The cross section of the vertical beam 6 shown in the figure is circular. Therefore, when the partition panel 1b is turned by 90 °, the gap 19 between the partition panel 1a and the vertical beam 6 is reduced. However, by using the vertical beam 6 having a circular cross section, a vertical beam having a square cross section or a rectangular cross section is obtained. Compared with the case where the vertical rail 6 is used, the gap 19 is large and can prevent finger filling. Further, when the partition panel 1 before connection is lifted, the vertical rail 6 has a smooth circular cross section and is easy to hold.

  By the way, the connecting member 13 of the present invention is a long material in which a bending portion 14 made of a soft resin and a fitting portion 15 that fits into the connecting groove 16 of the vertical rail 6 are integrally formed. The form of the fitting portion 15 is as follows. Not limited. The fitting portion 15 fitted in the connecting groove 16 can connect the partition panels 1a, 1b, 1c without detachment, and can change the direction of the partition panels 1a, 1b, 1c.

However, although the vertical rail 6 according to the present invention is configured to be able to connect the adjacent partition panels 1, it may be used only by a single partition panel 1 without being connected. In this case, the entrance opening 21 of the connecting groove 16 formed in the vertical beam 6 so that the fitting portion 15 of the connecting member 13 is fitted to connect another partition panel 1 is narrow, and the appearance of the vertical beam 6 is impaired. It will never be.

On the other hand, the vertical beam 6 according to the present invention is a long material in which a connecting groove 16 into which the fitting portion 15 of the connecting member 13 is fitted is formed over the entire length on the opposite side to the fitting groove 9 in which the side end portion of the panel plate 3 is fitted. Yes, the specific structure of the connecting member 13 that connects the screen panels 1a, 1b, and 1c is not limited. Accordingly, the bending portion 14 made of a soft resin may not be provided on the connecting member 13, and a connecting portion made of a hard resin may be used to connect both the fitting portions 15 and 15. Therefore, the arrangement form of the partition panels 1a, 1b, and 1c is determined by making the connecting portion linear, L-shaped, or T-shaped.
