Description

The present invention relates to panel assemblies, booths and fixtures.

Conventionally, there is a panel assembly for a partition formed by connecting a plurality of panels. When forming a booth using a panel assembly, it is necessary to connect a plurality of panels at an angle other than 180 °. The following Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2 disclose a structure in which a plurality of panels are connected at an angle other than 180 °.

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 9-177208 Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 10-25844

However, in the panel connecting structure described in Patent Document 1, since the joiner is inserted into the groove of the panel and engaged with the panel, the joiner and the panel can be relatively displaced in the extending direction of the groove. .. Further, in the partition wall joining structure described in Patent Document 2, the connecting member is exposed between the pair of partition walls. Therefore, in the panel assembly of the prior art, there is room for improvement in terms of improving the connection strength between the panels and improving the design.

Therefore, the present invention provides a panel assembly having high design and ensuring the connection strength between panels, and a booth and fixtures provided with the panel assembly.

The panel assembly of the present invention includes a pair of panels and a connecting member that connects the pair of panels with their ends facing each other, and the panel is the first panel of the panel. The first face material forming the main surface, the second face material forming the second main surface of the panel, and the first face material arranged between the first face material and the second face material. The connecting member has a first connecting portion connected to the connected portion of the first panel of the pair of panels, and a second of the pair of panels. It has a second connecting portion connected to the connected portion of the panel, and a bent portion connecting the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion.

In the above configuration, since the first connecting portion of the connecting member is connected to the connected portion of the first panel, it is arranged between the first face material and the second face material of the first panel. Further, since the second connecting portion of the connecting member is connected to the connected portion of the second panel, it is arranged between the first face material and the second face material of the second panel. Further, since the connecting member has a bent portion, the pair of panels can be connected at an angle other than 180 °, and the connecting member can be extended according to the connecting angle of the pair of panels. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the connecting member from protruding from each panel in the thickness direction and being exposed. Moreover, the connecting member is connected to the connected portion arranged between the first face material and the second face material of each panel. Therefore, since the panel and the connecting member are connected at a position invisible from the outside, it is possible to adopt a structure having a high connection strength between the panel and the connecting member without deteriorating the design. Therefore, it is possible to obtain a panel assembly having high design and ensuring the connecting strength between the panels.

In the panel assembly, the pair of panels may be arranged so that the first main surfaces of the panels face each other.
Here, since the connected portion is attached to the first face material of each panel, the work of attaching the connecting member to the connected portion is performed in a state where the second face material is not arranged. In the above configuration, since the pair of panels are arranged so that their first main surfaces face each other, the pair of panels are connected at an angle other than 180 °, and the second of the space around the panel assembly is formed. The space facing the main surface is wider than the space facing the first main surface. Therefore, the connecting member can be attached to the connected portion from a wider space around the panel assembly. Therefore, the connection work and the disassembly work of the pair of panels can be easily performed.

In the panel assembly, the first face material has an upright portion protruding from the outer edge of the first main surface toward the second main surface side, and a notch is formed in the upright portion, and the first face material is formed. The 1 connection portion is arranged inside the panel with respect to the upright portion of the first panel, the second connection portion is arranged inside the panel with respect to the upright portion of the second panel, and the bent portion is located inside the panel. It may pass through the notch on the first panel and the notch on the second panel.

According to the above configuration, the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion can be shielded by the standing portion to make it difficult to see from the outside. As a result, the exposure of the connecting member can be further suppressed.

In the panel assembly, the connecting member may be formed of a plate material, and the bent portion may be bent in a direction orthogonal to the thickness direction of the plate material.

Here, if the other panel is to be displaced with respect to one panel so as to change the connection angle of the pair of panels, stress is concentrated on the bent portion of the connecting member. According to the above configuration, since the bent portion is bent in the direction orthogonal to the thickness direction of the plate material, the direction of the force applied to the bent portion coincides with the surface direction of the plate material. Therefore, the strength of the connecting member can be improved as compared with the configuration in which the connecting member is formed so that a force is applied in the thickness direction of the plate material. Therefore, it becomes possible to use a relatively small connecting member, and the exposure of the connecting member can be further suppressed.

The panel assembly may further include legs attached to the connected portion.

According to the above configuration, since the connecting member is connected to the connected portion together with the legs, even if an external force is applied to the legs connected to one panel, the force is not transmitted to the first surface material. , Can be released to the connected portion of the other panel via the connecting member. Therefore, stable installation of the panel assembly is possible.

The booth of the present invention includes the above-mentioned panel assembly.
The fixture of the present invention includes the booth and a top plate supported by the panel.

According to the above configuration, it is possible to provide a booth and fixtures in which the exposure of the connecting member connecting the panels is suppressed, the design is excellent, and the connecting strength between the panels is high.

According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a panel assembly, a booth, and fixtures having high design and ensuring the connection strength between panels.

Each panel 10 has a first main surface 11 and a second main surface 12. The plan view shape of each panel 10 when viewed from the thickness direction is a rectangular shape having a pair of sides extending in the vertical direction and a pair of sides extending in the horizontal direction. Each panel 10, including the internal structure, is formed symmetrically when viewed from the thickness direction. The pair of panels 10 are arranged side by side in the horizontal direction with one ends in the horizontal direction facing each other. It should be noted that the pair of panels 10 may not be in contact with each other as long as the one ends thereof are close to each other and face each other. Of the pair of panels 10, the first panel 10A extends in the first direction D1 when viewed from above. Of the pair of panels 10, the second panel 10B extends in the second direction D2, which is inclined with respect to the first direction D1 when viewed from above. As a result, the pair of panels 10 are arranged non-parallel to each other when viewed from above. The pair of panels 10 are arranged so that the first main surfaces 11 face each other. That is, the first main surface 11 of each panel 10 faces the space inside the booth.

Each panel 10 includes a first face member 20 that forms the first main surface 11 of the panel 10, and a second face member 30 that forms the second main face 12 of the panel 10.

The first face material 20 is formed of a flat plate material such as a steel plate. The first face material 20 may be covered with a skin material. The first face material 20 includes a main portion 21 that forms the entire first main surface 11 of the panel 10, and an upright portion 22 that rises from the outer edge of the main portion 21. The main portion 21 is formed in a rectangular shape in a plan view corresponding to the outer shape of the first main surface 11. The upright portion 22 is formed by bending the flat plate material with respect to the main portion 21.

It is provided with a pair of laterally standing portions 25 protruding from the ridge. The upper standing portion 23 and the lower standing portion 24 extend substantially at right angles to the main portion 21. The upper standing portion 23 forms a part of the upper end surface of the panel 10. The lower upright portion 24 forms the lower end surface of the panel 10. Each laterally upright portion 25 extends at a predetermined angle of less than 90 ° with respect to the main portion 21 (details will be described later). The laterally upright portion 25 forms a part of the horizontal end face of the panel 10. Notches 26 through which the connecting member 50 is inserted are formed in the upper portion and the lower portion of the laterally standing portion 25.

As described above, the pair of panels 10 are arranged side by side with one ends in the horizontal direction abutting each other. The horizontal end faces of each panel 10 are formed so as to extend parallel to the horizontal end faces of adjacent panels 10. That is, the laterally upright portion 25 of the first face material 20 in each panel 10 is placed on the main portion 21 of the first face material 20 so as to be parallel to the laterally upright portion 25 of the first face material 20 in the adjacent panels 10. On the other hand, it extends at a predetermined angle (see FIG. 5).

The second face material 30 includes a main portion 31 that forms the entire second main surface 12 of the panel 10, and an upright portion 32 that rises from the outer edge of the main portion 31. The main portion 31 is formed in a rectangular shape in a plan view corresponding to the outer shape of the second main surface 12. The main portion 31 is formed to have the same size as the main portion 21 of the first face material 20 in the vertical direction. The main portion 31 is arranged in parallel with the main portion 21 of the first face material 20. The main portion 31 is formed larger than the main portion 21 of the first face material 20 in the horizontal direction. The main portion 31 is arranged so as to overlap the entire main portion 21 of the first face material 20 when viewed from the thickness direction of the panel 10 and to project on both sides in the horizontal direction from the main portion 21 of the first face material 20. Has been done.

The upright portion 32 is formed by bending the flat plate material with respect to the main portion 31. The upright portion 32 projects from the entire outer edge of the main portion 31 toward the first main surface 11 side by a certain distance. The upright portion 32 includes an upper upright portion 33 protruding from the upper edge of the main portion 31, and a pair of lateral upright portions 35 protruding from the side edges on both sides in the horizontal direction of the main portion 31. The upper standing portion 33 extends substantially at right angles to the main portion 31. The upper standing portion 33 extends in parallel with the upper standing portion 23 of the first face material 20 in the same plane. The upper upright portion 33 forms the upper end surface of the panel 10 together with the upper upright portion 23 of the first face material 20. The laterally upright portion 35 extends in parallel with the laterally upright portion 25 of the first face material 20 in the same plane. As a result, the laterally upright portion 35 of the second face material 30 in each panel 10 is parallel to the laterally upright portion 35 of the second face material 30 in the adjacent panels 10, similarly to the laterally upright portion 25 of the first face material 20.

The second lateral wall 47c extends from the entire horizontal inner edge of the top wall 47a to the main portion 31 side of the second face member 30. The second side wall 47c is joined to the second face material 30. As a result, each vertical rod 47 and the second face material 30 form a closed cross section having a rectangular cross section.

The pair of lateral beams 48 extend in the horizontal direction at intervals in the vertical direction from each other. The pair of lateral beams 48 are arranged between the upper lateral beam 45U and the lower lateral beam 45L of the first rod group 41 when viewed from the thickness direction of the panel 10. Each lateral beam 48 extends between a pair of vertical rods 47.

As shown in FIG. 6, the leg 60 is attached to the rod member 40 to which the lower connecting member 50L is connected in the first rod member group 41. Specifically, the leg 60 is attached to the lower lateral beam 45L. A pair of legs 60 are provided and attached to both ends of the lower lateral beam 45L. The leg 60 is connected to the lower wall 45c of the lower lateral beam 45L from below. The legs 60 are formed so as to project downward from the panel 10.

The installation method of the panel assembly 4 will be described. In the following description, among the component parts of each panel 10, members such as the first rod group 41, which includes the first face material 20 and is fixedly supported by the first face material 20, are on the first face material side. It is called a member of. The same applies to the member on the second face material side.
First, the member on the first surface material side of each panel 10 is erected at the installation location on the floor surface F. Next, the lower connecting member 50L and the upper connecting member 50U are fastened to the first panel 10A and the second panel 10B, respectively, and the members on the first surface material side of the first panel 10A and the second panel 10B are connected to each other. At this time, the lower connecting member 50L and the upper connecting member 50U are arranged from the side facing the second main surface 12 of each panel 10 with respect to the member on the first surface material side. Finally, the member on the first surface material side of each panel 10 is assembled with the member on the second surface material side. Specifically, the engaging portion 47d of each vertical rod 47 joined to the second face material 30 is engaged with the engaging hole 44d of each vertical rod 44 joined to the first face material 20. As described above, the panel assembly 4 in which the pair of panels 10 are connected to each other in an inclined state is installed.

As described above, the panel assembly 4 of the present embodiment includes a pair of panels 10 and a lower connecting member 50L that connects the pair of panels 10 with the ends of the pair of panels 10 facing each other. To be equipped. The panel 10 has a lower lateral beam 45L arranged between the first face material 20 and the second face material 30 and joined to the first face material 20. The lower connecting member 50L includes a first connecting portion 51 connected to the lower lateral beam 45L of the first panel 10A, a second connecting portion 52 connected to the lower lateral beam 45L of the second panel 10B, and a first. It has a bent portion 53 that connects the connecting portion 51 and the second connecting portion 52.

According to this configuration, since the first connecting portion 51 of the lower connecting member 50L is connected to the lower lateral beam 45L of the first panel 10A, the first face material 20 and the second face material of the first panel 10A It is placed between 30 and. Further, since the second connecting portion 52 of the lower connecting member 50L is connected to the lower lateral beam 45L of the second panel 10B, it is between the first surface material 20 and the second surface material 30 of the second panel 10B. Is placed in. Further, since the lower connecting member 50L has a bent portion 53, the pair of panels 10 can be connected at an angle other than 180 °, and the lower connecting member 50L can be extended according to the connecting angle of the pair of panels 10. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the lower connecting member 50L from protruding from each panel 10 in the thickness direction and being exposed. Moreover, the lower connecting member 50L is connected to the lower lateral beam 45L arranged between the first face material 20 and the second face material 30 of each panel 10. Therefore, since the panel 10 and the lower connecting member 50L are connected at a position invisible from the outside, it is possible to adopt a structure having a high connection strength between the panel 10 and the lower connecting member 50L without deteriorating the design. It will be possible. Therefore, it is possible to obtain the panel assembly 4 having high design and ensuring the connecting strength between the panels 10.

Further, since the lower lateral beam 45L is attached to the first surface material 20 of each panel 10, the work of attaching the connecting member to the lower lateral beam 45L is performed in a state where the second surface material 30 is not arranged. Do. Here, since the pair of panels 10 are arranged so that their first main surfaces 11 face each other, the pair of panels 10 are connected at an angle other than 180 °, and the space around the panel assembly 4 is connected. The space facing the second main surface 12 is wider than the space facing the first main surface 11. Therefore, the lower connecting member 50L can be attached to the lower lateral beam 45L from a wider space around the panel assembly 4. Therefore, the connection work and the disassembly work of the pair of panels 10 can be easily performed.

Further, the first connecting portion 51 is arranged inside the panel with respect to the laterally standing portion 25 of the first face material 20 of the first panel 10A. The second connecting portion 52 is arranged inside the panel with respect to the laterally standing portion 25 of the first face material 20 of the second panel 10B. The bent portion 53 passes through the notch 26 of the first face material 20 of the first panel 10A and the notch 26 of the first face material 20 of the second panel 10B. According to this configuration, the first connecting portion 51 and the second connecting portion 52 can be shielded by the laterally standing portion 25 to make it difficult to see from the outside. As a result, the exposure of the lower connecting member 50L can be further suppressed.

Further, the bent portion 53 is bent in a direction orthogonal to the thickness direction of the plate material forming the lower connecting member 50L. Here, if the other panel 10 is to be displaced with respect to one panel 10 so as to change the connection angle of the pair of panels 10, the stress is concentrated on the bent portion 53 of the lower connecting member 50L. According to the above configuration, since the bent portion 53 is bent in a direction orthogonal to the thickness direction of the plate material, the direction of the force applied to the bent portion 53 coincides with the surface direction of the plate material. Therefore, the strength of the lower connecting member 50L can be improved as compared with the configuration in which the connecting member is formed so that a force is applied in the thickness direction of the plate material. Therefore, it is possible to use a relatively small lower connecting member 50L, and the exposure of the connecting member can be further suppressed.

Further, the lower lateral beam 45L extends along the horizontal direction. Here, when the pair of panels 10 are arranged in the horizontal direction, the first connecting portion 51 and the second connecting portion 52 of the lower connecting member 50L are arranged at the same height. Therefore, the lower connecting member 50L extends along the horizontal direction. According to the above configuration, since the extending direction of the lower lateral beam 45L and the extending direction of the lower connecting member 50L coincide with each other, the lower connecting member 50L can be connected along the lower lateral beam 45L. Therefore, a large joint surface between the lower connecting member 50L and the lower lateral beam 45L can be secured, and the connecting strength between the panel 10 and the lower connecting member 50L can be improved. Further, the strength of the first surface material 20 can be increased by the lower lateral beam 45L.

Although the effects of the lower lateral beam 45L and the lower connecting member 50L have been described above, the same applies to the upper lateral beam 45U and the upper connecting member 50U.

Further, the panel assembly 4 further includes legs 60 attached to the lower lateral beam 45L. According to this configuration, since the lower connecting member 50L is connected to the lower lateral beam 45L together with the legs 60, even if an external force is applied to the legs 60 connected to one of the panels 10, the force is first. It can be released to the lower lateral beam 45L of the other panel 10 via the lower connecting member 50L without being transmitted to the face material 20. Therefore, the panel assembly 4 can be stably installed.

Since the fixture 1 and the booth 2 of the present embodiment include the panel assembly 4 that exerts the above-described effects, the exposure of the connecting member 50 that connects the panels 10 to each other is suppressed, and the panel 10 is excellent in design. It can be a fixture or booth with high connection strength between them.

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment described with reference to the drawings, and various modifications can be considered within the technical scope thereof.
For example, in the above embodiment, a plurality of panel assemblies 4 are combined to form the booth 2, but they may be used alone as partitions.

Further, in the above embodiment, the connecting member 50 is connected to the lower lateral beam 45L and the upper lateral beam 45U, but is not limited thereto. For example, a lateral beam may be separately provided above the lower lateral beam 45L and below the upper lateral beam 45U, and a connecting member may be connected to the lateral beam.

Further, as shown in FIG. 7, the connecting member may be connected to the vertical rod 44. Specifically, the connecting member 150 was connected to the first connecting portion 151 connected to the first horizontal wall 44b of the vertical rod 44 of the first panel 10A and to the first horizontal wall 44b of the vertical rod 44 of the second panel 10B. A second connecting portion 152 and a bent portion 153 connecting the first connecting portion 151 and the second connecting portion 152 may be provided. Further, a member for connecting the connecting member may be provided separately from the rod member 40.

Further, in the above embodiment, the pair of panels 10 of the panel assembly 4 have the same configuration, but the present invention is not limited to this. The pair of panels may be connected by a connecting member, and may have different shapes or different materials, for example, different widths in the horizontal direction.

Further, in the above embodiment, each panel 10 stands upright with respect to the floor surface F, but the present invention is not limited to this. When one end portion of each of the pair of panels facing each other extends linearly, the pair of panels may be arranged non-parallel to each other when viewed from the extending direction of the one end portion. Further, one end of each panel does not have to extend linearly, and may extend in a curved line as long as it is close to each other. In this case, the pair of panels may be arranged non-parallel to each other when viewed from the tangential direction of the curve formed by one end of the panel at the position where the connecting member is provided at one end of each panel.

Further, in the above embodiment, the pair of panels 10 are arranged so that the first main surfaces 11 face each other. However, the arrangement of the pair of panels is not limited to this, and for example, the second main surfaces may be arranged so as to face each other.

Further, in the above embodiment, the bent portion 53 of the connecting member 50 is bent only at the intermediate portion thereof, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the bent portion may be bent as a whole between the first connecting portion 51 and the second connecting portion 52.
