Description

The present invention relates to a partition such as a partition and a connecting tool for the partition.

Conventionally, there has been known a technique of setting up a partition space that can ensure privacy by connecting a plurality of panels to partition a space in an evacuation center such as a meeting place where residents evacuate in the event of a disaster.

For example, Patent Document 1 below discloses a technique of connecting a plurality of panels in a swastika shape to partition a space by fitting an uneven portion provided on a part of the panel to a reinforcing tool (Fig.). 5 mag). According to this technique, anyone can easily set up a strong partition space.

Japanese Patent No. 3746053

By the way, in places such as evacuation shelters where people are crowded, there is a concern about droplet infection such as viruses. Therefore, it is desired to improve the air permeability so that the air pool does not occur even in the above-mentioned partition space so that sufficient ventilation can be performed.

However, the technique described in Patent Document 1 has a problem that since a plurality of connected panels are in contact with each other, the air permeability in the partition space is poor and the above-mentioned request cannot be met.

In view of the above circumstances, an object of the present invention is to provide a partition and a partition connecting tool capable of setting up a partition space having excellent breathability while maintaining ease of assembly and strength.

In order to achieve the above object, the partition according to one embodiment of the present invention is a partition for partitioning a space, and includes a plurality of panels and a connecting tool for connecting the plurality of panels.

According to this configuration, since the panels can be connected so as not to come into contact with each other, it is possible to set up a partition space having excellent air permeability while maintaining ease of assembly and strength. Here, the predetermined angle is, for example, 90 degrees, 180 degrees, 120 degrees, 60 degrees, etc., but is not limited thereto.

The plurality of support portions may be provided so that the two panels are supported substantially vertically.

This makes it possible to easily set up the corners of the space while ensuring ventilation.

The plurality of support portions may be provided so that the two panels are supported substantially in parallel.

As a result, the area of the space can be easily expanded while ensuring the air permeability.

The plurality of panels may have a first panel, a second panel, a third panel, and a fourth panel. In this case, in the plurality of support portions, the first panel and the second panel, and the first panel and the fourth panel are substantially vertical to each other, and the first panel and the third panel are respectively. And four panels may be provided so that the second panel and the fourth panel are substantially parallel to each other.

As a result, by connecting the four panels with one connector, it is possible to easily set up the corners of the four spaces at the same time while ensuring ventilation.

The connector may have a base portion having a surface parallel to the installation surface of the partition. In this case, the support portion may be formed so as to protrude from the base portion and may have a groove into which the end portion of the panel can be inserted.

As a result, the panel can be supported simply by inserting the end into the groove of the support part, so that the panel does not need to be processed for uneven parts, etc., and the panel can be used only by cutting it to the required width and height. The panel width and height can be set freely.

The connector may be arranged at the upper end and the lower end of the plurality of panels. In this case, the partition is a strut that can be attached between two connecting tools arranged at the upper end and the lower end of the end of the panel, and an intermediate connecting tool that can be attached to the strut to fix the panel to the strut. And may further have.

As a result, the panel can be fixed to the support column with the intermediate connecting tool, so that it is possible to set up a partition space in which the panel does not flutter even if a large panel is connected.

The partition may have a strut erected on a connector that supports the lower ends of the plurality of panels. In this case, the upper portions of the plurality of adjacent panels may be further provided with an upper connecting tool that can be attached to the columns in order to connect the upper surfaces to the columns via the columns. "Upper" includes not only the upper end but also a position slightly below the upper end.

As a result, since a plurality of panels can be connected to each other via the columns by the upper connecting tool, it is possible to set up a partition space in which the panels do not flutter even if a plurality of large panels are connected to each other.

The partition may further have a reinforcing member that can be attached to the connector so as to bridge the upper ends of the plurality of panels.

As a result, a reinforcing member can be provided so as to bridge the upper part of the panel, so that a high-strength partition space can be set up.

The partition connecting tool according to another portable device of the present invention is a partition connecting tool used for partitioning a space by connecting a plurality of panels, and is arranged at at least the lower end of the plurality of panels. Has a plurality of supports each supporting the plurality of panels so that the panels form an angle at a predetermined angle and the plurality of panels overlap each other at a predetermined interval without abutting against each other.

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to set up a partition space having excellent air permeability while maintaining ease of assembly and strength. However, the effect does not limit the present invention.
