Further, the panel body 10 has a first attachment portion 17 for attaching the leg member 30 to the panel body 10 and a second attachment portion (engaged portion) 20 for engaging the connecting member 21. doing.

  The adhesive layer 11 includes a thermoplastic resin. As an example, the adhesive layer 11 is made of a polyester nonwoven fabric containing hot melt. In the entire panel body 10, the adhesive layer 11 is welded to the cushion member 12 at a portion including at least the reinforcing portion 14 and the mounting portion 17 of the panel body 10.

  The cushion member 12 has a first cushion member 12A and a second cushion member 12B. The first cushion member 12A and the second cushion member 12B are flexible plate shapes made of a porous member such as felt or sponge. A surface 13A of the first cushion member 12A opposite to the surface in contact with the adhesive layer 11 constitutes the surface 10a of the panel body 10. Of the second cushion member 12B, the surface 13B opposite to the surface in contact with the adhesive layer 11 constitutes the back surface 10b of the panel body 10.

  The first cushion member 12A and the second cushion member 12B are formed of a non-woven fabric having a porous shape with fibers intertwined with each other. The material of the first cushion member 12A and the second cushion member 12B is not particularly limited. For example, the materials of the first cushion member 12A and the second cushion member 12B may be selected in consideration of the design and texture of the front surface 10a and the back surface 10b of the panel body 10. As an example, the first cushion member 12A and the second cushion member 12B are made of a nonwoven fabric in which polyester fibers are entangled with each other.

  The reinforcing part 14 of the panel body 10 is a part whose density is higher than parts other than the reinforcing part 14 by being held by the adhesive layer 11 in a state where the cushion member 12 is compressed. The thermoplastic resin constituting the adhesive layer 11 enters the hole (the gap between the fibers constituting the cushion member 12) of the cushion member 12 in a compressed state.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the first attachment portion 17 has an attachment surface 18 for attaching the leg member 30 and a hole portion 19 that opens to the attachment surface 18. The first mounting portion 17 is compressed to have the same hardness as the reinforcing portion 14 by being formed in the same manner as the reinforcing portion 14 described above. The mounting surface 18 provided in the first mounting portion 17 is composed of the outer surfaces 13A and 13B of the cushion member 12. The hole 19 provided in the first attachment portion 17 penetrates the laminated body 10A in the thickness direction of the laminated body 10A. The first mounting portion 17 may be connected to the reinforcing portion 14 or may be disposed at a position different from the reinforcing portion 14.

The second mounting portion 20 is disposed on a part of the reinforcing portion 14. The second attachment portions 20 are arranged one by one on the two side edges 10 c and 10 d in the installed state of the panel body 10. The second attachment portion 20 has an engagement groove 20 a for attaching the connecting member 21.
The engagement groove 20a is located with respect to the reinforcing portion 14 so that the dimension (thickness dimension) along the stacking direction of the laminate 10A is smaller than the thickness dimension in the portion other than the engagement groove 20a in the reinforcing portion 14. It is depressed. The shape of the engaging groove 20 a corresponds to the shape of the connecting member 21. In the present embodiment, the engaging groove 20a is disposed in the vicinity of the upper ends of the side edges 10c and 10d of the panel body 10 in the installed state of the panel body 10 in the reinforcing portion 14. Further, the engagement groove 20a has an oval shape having a long axis along the direction in which the reinforcing portion 14 extends when viewed from the stacking direction of the stacked body 10A. The length of the long axis of the engagement groove 20 a is slightly longer than the longitudinal dimension of the arm portion 22 of the connecting member 21. The engagement groove 20a includes a first engagement groove 20a1 disposed on the front surface 10a side in the panel body 10 and a second engagement groove 20a2 disposed on the back surface 10b side in the panel body 10. ing.

The formation method of the reinforcement part 14, the 1st attaching part 17, and the 2nd attaching part 20 is demonstrated.
An apparatus for forming the reinforcing portion 14 includes, for example, a heating device (not shown) that heats the entire laminated body 10A and a pressure member 100 that sandwiches the laminated body 10A from both sides in the stacking direction of the laminated body 10A as shown in FIG. And have.

  The pressure member 100 has a convex portion 101 for forming the engaging groove 20a in a part of a portion where the reinforcing portion 14 is formed. The engaging groove 20 a is formed together with the reinforcing portion 14 in the step of forming the reinforcing portion 14 by the convex portion 101 disposed on the pressure member 100 that defines the shape of the reinforcing portion 14 in the step of forming the reinforcing portion 14. Is done. The convex portion 101 compresses the cushion member 12 so that the cushion member 12 becomes thinner than the reinforcing portion 14.

In this embodiment, first, these are laminated so that the adhesive layer 11 is positioned between the first cushion member 12A and the second cushion member 12B, and the melting point of the thermoplastic resin contained in the adhesive layer 11 is exceeded. The entire laminate 10A is heated to a temperature by a heating device. The thermoplastic resin contained in the adhesive layer 11 is melted by being heated by a heating device, and enters a gap between fibers constituting the first cushion member 12A and the second cushion member 12B.
With the laminated body 10 </ b> A being heated in this way, the laminated body 10 </ b> A is subsequently sandwiched by the pressure member 100. When the laminated body 10A is sandwiched by the pressure member 100, the pressure member 100 holds the laminated body 10A in a state where the cushion member 12 is compressed. In addition, when the pressure member 100 is in contact with the surfaces 13A and 13B to be the front surface 10a and the back surface 10b of the laminated body 10A, the temperature in the vicinity of the surfaces 13A and 13B is reduced, but at the portion where the adhesive layer 11 is located, The temperature exceeds the melting point of the thermoplastic resin.

  Subsequently, the entire laminated body 10A is maintained in a state in which the laminated body 10A is sandwiched between the pressure members 100 until the temperature becomes lower than the melting point of the thermoplastic resin. The thermoplastic resin constituting the adhesive layer 11 of the laminate 10A flows out to the cushion member 12, and when the temperature of the laminate 10A falls below the melting point of the thermoplastic resin, the cushion member 12 of the laminate 10A is compressed. In the state, the thermoplastic resin is cured. The thermoplastic resin thus cured connects the fibers so that the fibers constituting the cushion member 12 are close to each other. For this reason, the site | part where the cushion member 12 was compressed has a higher density than the other site | part, and is comprised hard. Thus, the site | part maintained in the state which the cushion member 12 compressed is the reinforcement part 14. FIG. Furthermore, the convex portion 101 disposed on the pressure member 100 compresses the laminated body 10A so that the laminated body 10A is thinner than the reinforcing portion 14, and the engaging groove 20a is formed at the site where the reinforcing portion 14 is formed. Form.

  In the present embodiment, since the adhesive layer 11 extends over the entire area of the laminated body 10A as an intermediate layer in the laminated body 10A, the reinforcing portion 14 can be formed at any part of the laminated body 10A. Moreover, since the outer surfaces 13A and 13B of the cushion member 12 are not melted by heating when the reinforcing portion 14 is formed, the texture of the front surface 10a and the back surface 10b of the panel body 10 is substantially the same in the reinforcing portion 14 and other portions.

  The first mounting portion 17 is formed by a pressing member (not shown) that can compress the cushion member 12 in contact with the outer surfaces 13A and 13B of the cushion member 12 in the same manner as the pressing member 100 that forms the reinforcing portion 14. 14 and the second mounting part 20 are formed in the same process, or before or after the forming process of the reinforcing part 14 and the second mounting part 20.

The leg body 31 and the fixing member 33 can be connected by screwing the nut 35 into the shaft body 32 in a state where the shaft body 32 of the leg body 31 is inserted into the through hole 34 of the fixing member 33. Furthermore, the leg member 30 is fixed to the mounting portion 17 by tightening the nut 35 and the shaft body 32 so that the mounting portion 17 is sandwiched between the leg main body 31 and the fixing member 33.

The operation and effect of the panel body 10 and the partition device 1 according to the present embodiment will be described.
In the panel body 10 of the present embodiment, the portion where the reinforcing portion 14 and the first attachment portion 17 are formed is hard, and the other portions have a soft texture. Furthermore, the panel body 10 of the present embodiment reinforces the strength necessary for maintaining the shape of the panel body 10 in the posture in which the panel body 10 is installed without using a hard base material or a frame body. It has by part 14.
As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the reinforcing portion 14 is provided with a second attachment portion (engaged portion) 20 in which an engagement groove 20 a for engaging the connecting member 21 is formed. . For this reason, in the connection structure which connects the panel bodies 10 of the partition device 1 of the present embodiment, the connection member 21 is unlikely to drop off from the second mounting portion 20 of the panel body 10.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 7, since the connecting member 21 has engaging protrusions 25A1, 25A2, 25B1, and 25B2 that can enter the engaging groove 20a, the second attachment is larger than the opening width of the openings 27A and 27B. Even if there is an error such that the thickness of the portion 20 becomes small, the engaging member 25A1, 25A2, 25B1, 25B2 enters the engaging groove 20a, so that the connecting member 21 is held by the second mounting portion 20. .

For this reason, in the state which connected the some panel body 10 using the connection member 21, the fall of the connection member 21 can be prevented.

  Moreover, since the reinforcement part 14 is harder than the site | part in which the cushion member 12 is not compressed in the panel body 10, the engagement groove | channel 20a distribute | arranged to the reinforcement part 14 is a soft site | part other than the reinforcement part 14 (this embodiment panel). Compared with the case where the engaging groove is formed in the body 10 except for the reinforcing portion 14, the first mounting portion 17, and the second mounting portion 20, the connecting member 21 is less likely to come off.

  Moreover, the reinforcement part 14 may be arrange | positioned only in the site | part by which the intensity | strength is calculated | required in the panel body 10, and may be arrange | positioned in the site | part containing the part which comprises an unevenness | corrugation as a design. At this time, since there is no difference in texture between the part formed to obtain the reinforcing effect and the unevenness in the design, the degree of freedom in design is high.

  In addition, the first cushion member 12A and the second cushion member 12B are welded to each other in a compressed state by the adhesive layer 11 in the first attachment portion 17 (see FIG. 5) which is a fixing portion between the leg member 30 and the panel body 10. Since it is a state, the intensity | strength in which the panel body 10 fixed to the leg member 30 can become independent can be obtained, without using a hard base material, a frame, etc.

  Further, since the shaft body 32 of the leg member 30 is inserted into the hole portion 19 provided in the first attachment portion 17, the leg member 30 is attached to the panel body 10 so that the leg member 30 is not displaced with respect to the panel body 10. Can be fixed to.
