That is, each of the rail portions 21, 22, and 23 that constitute the first rail member 11a has therein one runner running space 24 capable of accommodating the first runner 12a so as to be able to run, and constitutes the second rail member 11b. Each of the rail portions 21, 22, 23 is also internally provided with one runner running space 24 capable of accommodating the second runner 12b so as to be able to run.

The runner running space 24 is surrounded by a front wall 25, a rear wall 26, a top plate 27, and a pair of front and rear bottom plates 28. As shown in FIG. The top plate 27 is a surface that faces the ceiling 4 and is directly fixed to the ceiling 4 with fasteners such as screws. Alternatively, it is fixed to the ceiling 4 via a bracket. That is, the rail member 11 is attached so that no gap is formed between it and the ceiling 4 .

The pair of front and rear bottom plates 28 has a plate shape extending in the longitudinal direction. A pair of front and rear bottom plates 28 define a longitudinally extending rail opening 29 . The runner 12 is supported by the running surface, which is the upper surface of each bottom plate 28, and passes through the rail opening 29 in the vertical direction. A portion of the runner 12 for suspending the panel 13 is exposed.

The runner 12 has a runner body 31 . The runner body 31 has a pair of rollers 32 on the front and rear sides of the upper end. Each pair of rollers 32 is connected by a shaft 33 and rolls on the inner surface of the bottom plate 28 forming the rail opening 29 . Further, the runner body 31 has a projecting portion 34 projecting downward from the rail opening 29 on the lower edge. The protrusion 34 has a suspension hole 35 at its tip.

The linear member 41 has a first engaging portion 42 at one end for engaging with the ring 36 attached to the suspension hole 35 and engages with the mounting hole 45 of the panel 13 at the other end. A second engaging portion 43 is provided for this purpose. The linear member 41 is for forming an opening 44 penetrating between the rail member 11 and the upper edge of the panel 13 . That is, the rail member 11 and the upper edge of the panel 13 are not brought close to each other with almost no gap.

The opening 44 enables sufficient conversation between the space on the side of the first person 1 and the space on the side of the second person 2 partitioned by the panel 13 even if the panel 13 exists (see FIG. 1). . Therefore, the length of the linear member 41 depends on the size of the panel 13, but the lower edge of the panel 13 perpendicular to the surface of the counter 3 is in contact with the surface of the counter 3, or the length is It is positioned immediately above and has a length such that an opening 44 is provided between the rail member 11 and the upper edge of the panel 13 .

The panel 13 is a plate that is at least larger than the heads or upper bodies of the first person 1 and the second person 2 facing each other. In addition, the panel 13 is a plate having rigidity, and has strength so that it does not bend even when exposed to wind or the like. The first panel 13a suspended from the first rail member 11a and the second panel 13b suspended from the second rail member 11b may have the same design or different designs. Also, the shape and size may be the same or different.

The panel 13 keeps the environment such as brightness unchanged between the space on the side of the first person 1 and the space on the side of the second person 2 partitioned by the panel 13.例文帳に追加The panel 13 may be plain, but may have various decorations on each side. As an example, the panel 13 can be configured such that a portion thereof is translucent and the rest is opaque. Such panels 13 are provided with mounting holes 45 near the top edge and near the corners. The mounting hole 45 is a through hole, and the second engaging portion 43 of the linear member 41 is engaged. The mounting hole 45 can also be reinforced by attaching a reinforcing member such as a metal fitting to the inner peripheral edge or the like.

Also in the second rail member 11b, one second runner 12b leading in the traveling direction is positioned on the second rail portion 22, and one trailing second runner 12b is positioned on the first rail portion 21. At this time, the second panel 13b is positioned diagonally with respect to the first rail portion 21 and the second rail portion 22 .

Then, the first panel 13 a and the second panel 13 b are moved to the standby position suspended from the second rail portion 22 . As shown in FIGS. 7A and 7B, in the standby position, the first panel 13a and the second panel 13b are perpendicular to the counter 3 and positioned on the space side of the first person 1, It will be in a state of retreating from the counter 3. In the evacuated state, cleaning such as wiping is performed in order to remove droplets adhering to the panel 13, for example. Of course, such cleaning of the panel 13 can be performed even in the use position.

When moving the first panel 13a and the second panel 13b from the standby position to the use position, the first panel 13a and the second panel 13b should be moved in the order shown in FIGS. arrow D direction).

Therefore, the runner running space 24 of the first rail member 51a and the runner running space 24 of the second rail member 51b are arranged side by side in close proximity to each other.

As shown in FIG. 10, each of the first rail member 51a and the second rail member 51b is connected by an L-shaped connecting fitting 52, which is a connecting member, so as to fix the adjacent and parallel state. . The connecting fitting 52 has a first piece 52a and a second piece 52b. The top plate of the first rail member 51a and the top plate of the second rail member 51b are fixed to the first piece 52a by a fastening member 52f.

A suspension member 53 is fixed to the second piece 52b. The hanging member 53 is a member for hanging the first rail member 51 a and the second rail member 51 b from the ceiling 4 . Two hanging members 53 are connected to one second piece 52b.

The suspension member 53 includes a shaft portion 53a, a first fixing portion 53b, and a second fixing portion 53c. The shaft portion 53a has a length adjusting portion, and expands and contracts so that the height of the panel 13 suspended from the rail member 51 can be adjusted.

The length adjusting portion includes, for example, a first bolt portion provided on the first shaft portion, a second bolt portion provided on the second shaft portion, a first nut portion to which the first bolt portion is tightened, and a second bolt portion. and a body portion provided with a second nut portion to which the bolt portion is tightened. By rotating the body, the overall length of the shaft portion 53a can be adjusted.

The first fixing portion 53b is fixed to the ceiling 4 or the like with a screw 53d as a fixing member. The second fixing portion 53c is fixed to the second piece 52b by a fastening member 53e such as a bolt or nut. The second fixing portions 53c of the two hanging members 53 are fixed to one second piece 52b. At one suspension point, two suspension members 53 are arranged to form a V shape and suspend the rail member 51 .

The rail member 51 has the same configuration as the first rail portion 21 and the second rail portion 22 in the first embodiment, and the runner 12 has the same configuration as the runner 12 in the first embodiment. Omit the details.

As shown in FIG. 9, the panel 13 is a translucent plate having a rectangular shape, and is made of synthetic resin such as glass, polycarbonate, or acrylic, for example. The panel 13 is a plate that is at least larger than the heads or upper bodies of the first person 1 and the second person 2 facing each other. In addition, the panel 13 is a plate having rigidity, and has strength so that it does not bend even when exposed to wind or the like. The first panel 13a suspended from the first rail member 11a and the second panel 13b suspended from the second rail member 11b may have the same design or different designs. Also, the shape and size may be the same or different.

Such a panel 13 is provided with mounting holes 45 at the upper edge, near the corners. The runner 12 and the panel 13 are connected not by the linear member 41 but by a suspension ring 55 (see FIG. 10). The suspension ring 55 is a member made of metal or synthetic resin, and is engaged with the ring 36 and the mounting hole 45 .

That is, a penetrating first opening 56 is formed between the upper surface of the rail member 51 and the ceiling 4 , and a penetrating second opening 57 is formed between the lower surface of the rail member 51 and the upper edge of the panel 13 . Configured. Assuming that the vertical dimension of the first opening 56 is A and the vertical dimension of the second opening 57 is B, A and B are set so that A>B.

The first opening 56 and the second opening 57 allow sufficient conversation between the space on the side of the first person 1 and the space on the side of the second person 2 partitioned by the panel 13 even if the panel 13 exists. ing. In particular, the first opening 56 contributes to such a function because the vertical dimension of the first opening 56 is larger than that of the second opening 57 .

[Action of Second Embodiment]
The partition device 50 configured as described above has the following effects.
As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the partition device 50 has one first panel 13a suspended from the first rail member 11a and one second panel 13b suspended from the second rail member 11b. is lowered. The vertical side edge of the first panel 13a in the direction opposite to the arrow D and the vertical side edge in the direction opposite to the arrow D of the second panel 13b are located at the same position or overlap each other. This prevents droplets from passing between the longitudinal side edge of the first panel 13a in the direction opposite to the arrow D and the longitudinal side edge in the direction opposite to the arrow D of the second panel 13b. The two partitioned spaces can be separated more firmly than in the case of film, and the security of the space where the first person 1 is present can be enhanced.

In such a use position, the panel 13 is interposed between the first person 1 and the second person 2 facing each other with the counter 3 interposed therebetween. Since the panel 13 is translucent, the environment such as brightness is almost the same, and since the panel 13 has the first opening 56 and the second opening 57, the temperature and humidity are the same, and the other party's voice can be heard sufficiently. be able to.

As shown in FIG. 11, the first panel 13a is slightly moved in the arrow D direction when goods are exchanged or money is exchanged between the first person 1 and the second person 2. As shown in FIG. Alternatively, the second panel 13b is slightly moved in the arrow D direction. As an example, at least one of the first panel 13a and the second panel 13b is moved to such an extent that a gap through which a hand can be passed is created. As a result, a hand can be passed through the gap between the vertical edge of the first panel 13a in the direction opposite to the arrow D and the vertical edge of the second panel 13b in the direction opposite to the arrow D, or objects can be exchanged.

When opening the front of the first panel 13a and the second panel 13b, the first panel 13a moves along the first rail member 51a in the direction of arrow D, and the second panel 13b moves along the second rail member 51b. direction is moved.

Further, as shown in FIG. 9, when the first panel 13a is in the use position, the first panel 13a protrudes above the passage 5 where the counter 3 is interrupted. When the first person 1 or the second person 2 passes through the passage 5 , the first panel 13 a is moved in the direction of the arrow D or the direction opposite to the arrow D to retreat the first panel 13 a from the passage 5 . As a result, passage 5 becomes passable.

[Effect of Second Embodiment]
The partition device 50 as described above can obtain the following effects.
(2-1) The partition device 50 also has the same effects as (1-1) to (1-6) above.

(2-2) Only by moving the first panel 13a and the second panel 13b in the direction of the arrow D or in the direction opposite to the arrow D, the player can move away from his or her front.
(2-3) The space on the side of the first person 1 through the panel 13 and the space on the side of the second person 2 can be connected through the first opening 56 . The first opening 56 is a space between the ceiling 4 and the rail member 51 and is a space away from the heads of the first person 1 and the second person 2 as well. Therefore, droplets and the like are less likely to disperse into the other party's space.

(2-4) The height of the panel 13 can be adjusted by the length adjusting portion of the suspension member 53 .
In addition, the partition device 50 in the second embodiment can be further modified as appropriate and implemented as follows.

- The second opening 57 may be closed with a cover provided on at least one of the front wall and the rear wall of the rail member 51 . The cover is preferably made of an elastic material such as rubber in order to reduce contact with the upper edge of the panel 13 .

- Three or more rail members 51 may be connected to the connecting fitting 52 .
- It is good also as a structure which directly attaches the rail member 51 to the ceiling 4. FIG.
- Either one of the first rail member 51a and the second rail member 51b may be linear, and the other rail member 51 may be L-shaped as described in the first embodiment.

- The partition device 50 may be composed of only one of the first rail member 51a and the second rail member 51b.
- The counter 3 may be provided with a C-shaped guide member that engages with the lower edge of the panel 13 . As a result, the lower edge of the panel 13 is guided by the guide member, and swinging of the first person 1 and the second person 2 can be suppressed.

- The 1st rail member 51a and the 2nd rail member 51b may be made into the series of one rail member 51, and you may make it arrange two runner running spaces 24 side by side inside. In this case, one runner running space 24 accommodates the first runner 12a from which the first panel 13a is suspended, and the other runner running space 24 houses the second runner 12b from which the second panel 13b is suspended.

The number of mounting holes 45 of the panel 13 may be one or two or more as long as the mounting holes 45 are positioned along the upper edge and can be removed without tilting with respect to the runner 12 . That is, the panel 13 may be suspended from one location or from three or more locations.

- The suspension member 53 may suspend the 1st rail member 51a and the 2nd rail member 51b separately.
- A single hanging member 53 may be used to hang the corner hanging portion.

The gap between the surface of the counter 3 and the lower edge of the panel 13 may be a gap through which a hand or an object can be passed. can.

- The mounting hole 45 may be omitted, and the hanging member may be fixed at the position of the mounting hole 45 to constitute the mounting portion. In this case, the suspension fitting is engaged with the suspension fitting that constitutes the mounting portion.

- The partitioning devices 10 and 50 may be installed at places other than the counter 3 . For example, the lower edge of panel 13 may be in contact with the floor surface or directly above it with a small gap. It can also be used as a partition device for enclosing beds in hospital facilities and the like.

[Third Embodiment]
As shown in FIG. 12(a), a store such as a restaurant may have a counter 61, and customers 62 may be seated one by one toward the counter 61 to eat and drink. For example, the counter 61 is provided with a first seat 62a and a second seat 62b adjacent to each other. The back 61a of the counter 61 is usually a wall, a window, a kitchen, or the like, or a wall portion 61b that separates the counter 61 from the opposite side. The customer 62 faces the counter 61 and sits on the first seat 62a and the second seat 62b to eat and drink. A counter 61 where each customer 62 eats and drinks is partitioned by providing a translucent screen 64 between a first seat 62a and a second seat 62b. In the first dining space 63 above the seats 62a and 62b, a screen 64 prevents droplets 66, which are fine water droplets, generated from the mouths of adjacent customers 62 from scattering. The screen 64 is erected in the depth direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction in which the counter 61 extends. The screen 64 has the same width as the depth of the counter 61 .

By the way, during eating and drinking, since not only eating and drinking but also conversation is involved, the amount of the droplets 66 is larger than at other times, and since they have momentum, they tend to fly far. Therefore, the screen 64 may scatter to the adjacent seats 62a and 62b through the second dining spaces 65 of the seats 62a and 62b protruding from the counter 61 where the screen 64 is not present. As shown in FIG. 12(b), the partition device 70 serving as a screen extends from the first dining space 63 to the second dining space 65, so that the droplets 66 reach the next seat via the second dining space 65. Scattering can be suppressed.

FIG. 13 is a modification of the first embodiment. This partitioning device 70 is obtained by applying the first embodiment to the partitioning of a counter 61 where customers 62 eat and drink one by one in a restaurant. The partition device 70 includes a first rail member 71a and a second rail member 71b. A first runner 72a running inside the first rail member 71a is accommodated in the first rail member 71a, and a first panel 73a is suspended from the first runner 72a. A second runner 72b running inside the second rail member 71b is accommodated in the second rail member 71b, and a second panel 73b is suspended from the second runner 72b.

Since the first rail member 71a and the second rail member 71b have the same configuration, they are collectively referred to as the rail member 71 as well. Moreover, since the first runner 72a and the second runner 72b have the same configuration, they are collectively referred to as a rail member 71 as well. Further, the rail member 71 has the same configuration as the first rail portion 21 and the second rail portion 22 in the first embodiment, and the runner 72 has the same configuration as the runner 12 in the first embodiment. , the details of which are omitted here. Furthermore, since the first panel 73a and the second panel 73b have the same configuration, they are collectively referred to as a panel member 73 as well.

Each of the first rail member 71a and the second rail member 71b has a linear shape and the same length. They are arranged adjacent to each other and parallel to each other on the ceiling 4 . Therefore, the runner running space of the first rail member 71a and the runner running space of the second rail member 71b are arranged side by side in close proximity to each other.

The panel 73 is a translucent plate having a rectangular shape, and is made of, for example, synthetic resin such as glass, polycarbonate, or acrylic. The panel 73 is a plate that is larger than the upper bodies of the customers 62 sitting next to each other in the first dining space 63 above the counter 61 . Moreover, the panel 73 is a plate having rigidity, and has the strength not to bend even when exposed to wind or the like.

As for the panel 73, either one of the first panel 73a and the second panel 73b may be translucent, and at least part of the other panel 73 may be a non-translucent panel. In this case, in the first dining space 63, at least a part of the adjacent customers 62 can see the forward-leaning posture while actually eating and drinking by means of a panel (for example, the first panel 73a) that is partially opaque. It can be done easily. In the second eating and drinking space 65, the translucent panel (for example, the second panel 73b) makes it easy to see and feel the posture of standing upright with respect to the chair without eating or drinking. Thus, the first panel 73a and the second panel 73b may have different designs. The panel 73 is erected in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the counter 61 extends. The panel 73 has the same width as the depth of the counter 61 .

Such a panel 73 has mounting holes near the corners on the upper edge, and the runner 72 and the panel 73 are suspended by linear members 75 . Each panel 73 is, for example, suspended from the runner 72 by connecting linear members 75 to mounting holes provided at the left and right corners of the upper edge. The linear member 75 is a flexible member such as a wire made of metal or synthetic resin, and has sufficient strength to suspend the panel 73 . The linear member 75 is for forming an opening 74 penetrating between the rail member 71 and the upper edge of the panel 73 . That is, the partition device 70 does not bring the rail member 71 and the upper edge of the panel 73 close to each other with almost no gap.

The opening 74 enables sufficient conversation between the customer on the first seat 62a and the customer 62 on the second seat 62b separated by the panel 73 even if the panel 73 exists. Therefore, the length of the linear member 75 depends on the size of the panel 73, but the lower edge of the panel 73 perpendicular to the surface of the counter 61 is in contact with the surface of the counter 61, or the length It is positioned immediately above and has a length such that an opening 74 is provided between the rail member 71 and the upper edge of the panel 73 . The vertical dimension of the opening 74 is, for example, several tens of centimeters, and the distance between the surface of the counter 61 and the lower edge of the panel 73 is, for example, several centimeters to several millimeters. The panel 73 is suspended so as to overlap the upper half of the body of the customer 62 on the seat 62a, 62b in the height direction. Moreover, the space between the surface of the counter 61 and the lower edge of the panel 73 may be such that the object can be exchanged by hand.

By the way, since the first panel 73a and the second panel 73b are suspended in close proximity to each other, there is a possibility that they may swing in the directions of approaching and separating from each other. When the first panel 73a and the second panel 73b swing toward and away from each other, they collide with each other, generating a collision sound and possibly being damaged. Therefore, a movement support portion 76 is provided to movably support the first panel 73a and the second panel 73b adjacent to each other. The movement support part 76 is a frame 77 arranged at the lower edge of each of the opposing surfaces of the first panel 73a and the second panel 73b facing each other, and is attached to one end of one frame 77. A guide member 78 is provided.

As shown in FIG. 14, the frame 77 is a hollow section made by extruding a metal material. Also, the frame 77 is an elongated member extending in the horizontal direction, that is, in the moving direction of the panel 73 . The frame 77 includes a bottom wall 81, side walls 82 and 83 located on both sides of the bottom wall 81, and guide walls 84 formed by bending the ends of the side walls 82 and 83. As shown in FIG. A guide groove 85 extending in the longitudinal direction is formed between the guide walls 84 . The frame 77 matches its longitudinal dimension with the lateral dimension of the lower edge of the panel 73 .

The outer surface of the bottom wall 81 is the mounting surface for the panel 73 . In the first panel 73a, the outer surface of the bottom wall 81, which faces the second panel 73b, is fixed to the lower edge by fixing means such as adhesive, double-sided tape, and screws. In the second panel 73b, the outer surface of the bottom wall 81 is fixed to the lower edge of the first panel 73a by fixing means such as adhesive, double-sided tape, and screws. That is, the frame 77 of the first panel 73a and the frame 77 of the second panel 73b are arranged so that the guide grooves 85 face each other.

In the state of use where the first panel 73a and the second panel 73b are largely misaligned and the second panel 73b protrudes from the counter 61, the end of the lower edge of the first panel 73a and the lower edge of the second panel 73b that are close to each other A guide member 78 is attached to one of the ends of the . Specifically, the guide member 78 is the frame 77 attached to the lower edge of the second panel 73b in the used state, and is arranged at the end on the side closer to the first panel 74a.

The guide member 78 includes a cap portion 86 fitted to the end of the frame 77 and a guide protrusion 87 engaged with the guide groove 85 . The guide protrusion 87 is provided integrally with the cap portion 86 . The guide protrusion 87 has a flange portion at the tip of a shaft portion that is thick enough to be inserted into the guide groove 85 . The flange portion prevents the guide protrusion 87 from slipping out of the guide groove 85 by being positioned within the frame. That is, by engaging the guide protrusion 87 with the guide groove 85, the first panel 73a and the second panel 73b are separated from each other even when the first panel 73a and the second panel 73b swing. Suppress rocking in the direction. Thereby, the collision between the first panel 73a and the second panel 73b can be suppressed. The movement support part 76 supports the first panel and the second panel so that they can move parallel to each other.

[Action of the third embodiment]
The partition device 70 configured as described above has the following effects.
In the partition device 70, one first panel 73a is suspended from the first rail member 71a by a first runner 72a. A single second panel 73b is suspended from the second rail member 71b by a second runner 72b. At the standby position, the two panels 73a and 73b are positioned on the counter 61 and mostly overlap. That is, the first panel 73a and the second panel 73b partition only the first dining space 63 above the counter 61 and do not partition the second dining space 65. As shown in FIG. The state of the standby position is often a state in which neither of the two seats 62a and 62b has a customer 62 or only one of the seats has a customer 62 . In such a state, by overlapping the second panel 73b on the first panel 73a, the second eating and drinking space 65 is not partitioned to widen the space.

When the passengers 62 are seated on two adjacent seats, the partition device 70 has one of the first panel 73a and the second panel 73b transitioned from the standby position to the use position. That is, one of the first panel 73a and the second panel 73b is moved toward the second dining space 65 by pulling it by hand. For example, when the second panel 73b is pulled in the direction of the second eating and drinking space 65, the second runner 72b runs in the same direction. As a result, the second panel 73b moves onto the second dining space 65. As shown in FIG. Then, the second panel 73b is largely deviated from the first panel 73a.

At this time, the first panel 74a and the second panel 74b are connected by the movement support portion 76, so that each panel 73 can be prevented from swinging independently. The guide protrusion 87 of the second panel 73b is located on the back 61a side of the frame 77 attached to the first panel 73a when the second panel 73b is in the standby position. The guide protrusion 87 moves in the same direction when the second panel 73b moves to the use position. By moving to the use position, the second panel 73b partitions the continuous first eating space 63 and the second eating space 65 in each of the seats 62a and 62b, and prevents droplets from scattering from one seat to the other seat. can be suppressed.

[Effect of the third embodiment]
The partition device 70 as described above can obtain the following effects.
(3-1) The panel 73 is easily soiled by the droplets 66 adhering to it. In this regard, since the panel 73 has rigidity, the surface can be easily cleaned.

(3-2) By moving the second panel 73b from the standby position to the use position, not only the first dining space 63 but also the second dining space 65 can be partitioned between the adjacent seats 62a and 62b. As a result, the droplets 66 can be prevented from scattering to the other seat between the seats 62a and 62b adjacent to each other.

(3-3) Since the panel 73 has rigidity, it is possible to suppress irregular reflection on the surface as in the case of a film, thereby improving the design.
(3-4) Since the panel 73 has translucency, it is possible to The environment such as brightness can be set to be almost the same.

(3-5) By moving the second panel 73b from the use position of the second eating and drinking space 65 to the standby position of the first eating and drinking space 63, the second panel 73b can be prevented from becoming an obstacle when not in use. can.

(3-6) Since there is an opening 74, the temperature and humidity are the same. Also, when acquaintances such as friends sit next to each other, the voice of the acquaintance sitting next to them can be heard sufficiently.
In addition, the partitioning device 70 in the third embodiment can also be modified appropriately as follows.

- As shown in FIG. 15, in the partition device 70, the number of panels 73 may be one instead of a plurality. Also, the width of one panel 73 may be wider than the depth of the counter 61 . As an example, the width of the panel 73 is approximately 1.1 to 1.5 times the depth of the counter 61 . In this case, the customer 62 moves the panel 73 according to his/her preference. By making the width of the panel 73 larger than the depth of the counter 61, the scattering of droplets can be suppressed at any position. For example, the panel 73 can suppress the splashing of the droplets 66 regardless of whether the panel 73 is moved toward the first eating space 63 or toward the second eating space 65 .

- As shown in FIG. 16, one of the first panel 73a and the second panel 73b may be a fixed panel, and the other panel 73 may be a movable panel. As an example, the first panel 73a is a fixed panel and the second panel 73b is a movable panel. The first panel 73a, which is a fixed panel, is fixed to the wall, the window and/or the counter 61, for example, by means of fixing metal fittings or an adhesive without gaps. In such a case, since the first panel 73a becomes a fixed panel, the first runner 72a and the linear member 75 may be omitted. The second panel 73b, which is a movable panel, moves between the standby position and the use position by being pulled by hand.

The second panel 73b may be fixed to the wall, window and/or counter 61 as a fixed panel, and the first panel 73a may be movable between the standby position and the use position.

- As shown in FIG. 17 , a wall portion 61 b or the like may be provided behind the counter 61 . With the wall portion 61b, the longitudinal side edge of either the first panel 73a or the second panel 73b is positioned so that no gap is formed between the longitudinal edge of the panel 73 and the wall, window, or the like. It becomes impossible to contact like this. Therefore, in the present embodiment, a notch 88 is provided in the lower corner of the vertical edge of the wall of the first panel 73a on the window side so that the notch 88 can be engaged with the wall 61b, thereby and the first panel 73a can be reduced. Here, a notch 88 is provided in the first panel 73a. In this case, the first panel 73a may be either a fixed panel or a movable panel. Obstacles to be avoided by the notch portion 88 may be, in addition to the wall portion 61b, pamphlets such as seasonings and menus arranged along the wall portion 61b.

[Fourth embodiment]
As shown in FIG. 18 , the partition device 90 allows the panel 73 to move in the horizontal direction parallel to the counter 61 and also to move up and down.

As shown in FIGS. 18 and 19, this partition device 90 includes a headbox 91, a lifting cord 92, and a panel 93. As shown in FIGS. The panel 93 in this embodiment is the same as the panel shown in FIG. The lifting cord 92 is a cord member having more flexibility than the linear members 41 and 75 such as wires made of metal or synthetic resin, and is, for example, a braided cord. One end of the lifting cord 92 is fixed to a mounting hole 95 formed in the upper edge of the panel 93 .

The head box 91 incorporates a guide member 91a, a stopper 91b, a guide member 91c, and the like. The guide member 91 a guides the lifting cord 92 extending upward from the panel 93 into the head box 91 . The stopper 91b controls the elevation of the panel 93. As shown in FIG. The guide member 91c suspends the lift cord 92 from the headbox 91 for operation. The other end of the lifting cord 92 is connected to an auxiliary cord 92a via a joint 92b, and the auxiliary cord 92a is fixed to the surface of the panel 93. As shown in FIG.

The head box 91 has a U-shaped cross section, and a guide member 91a, a stopper 91b, a guide member 91c, etc. are fixed inside. A connection plate such as a top plate is attached to the upper surface of the head box 91 and connected to a plurality of runners 94 running on the rail member 71 . Runner 94 has a configuration similar to runners 12 and 72 described above. A plurality of runners 94 are connected to the upper surface of the head box 91 at regular intervals via connecting members and suspended. The connection member may be a wire made of metal or synthetic resin, or a connection fitting such as a hook. By pulling the auxiliary cord 92a downward, the stopper 91b is released, and the panel 93 is moved downward by the weight of the panel 93 and can be moved to the lower position. Also, the panel 93 can be lifted from the lower position and moved to the upper position.

The panel 93 here may have the same depth as the counter 61, but it is wider than the counter 61 here. about twice as much.

[Action of the fourth embodiment]
The partition device 90 configured as described above has the following effects.
The partition device 90 has a head box 91 suspended from a runner 94, and the panel 93 is positioned above the counter 61 at the standby position. At the standby position near the first dining space 63, the panel 93 can be raised and lowered by pulling the auxiliary cord 92a downward to release the stopper 91b. The standby position is often a state in which neither of the two seats 62a and 62b has a customer 62 or only one of the seats has a customer 62 . The panel 93 may be in either the upper position or the lower position. In the standby position, the panel 93 only partitions the first dining space 63 above the counter 61 and does not partition the second dining space 65 when in the down position.

When acquaintances are seated on the seats 62a and 62b adjacent to each other, the panel 93 can be moved from the lower position to the upper position to facilitate conversation. The upper position is, for example, not a position where the panel 93 is positioned above the face, but a height position at which droplets do not directly hit the other party. Of course, the panel 93 can be lifted until the upper edge of the panel 93 approaches the head box 91, and this may be the upper position.

Regardless of whether the panel 93 is at the upper position, the lower position, or the intermediate position between the upper position and the lower position, the panel 93 can be closed while two people sitting on the seats 62a and 62b adjacent to each other are eating and drinking. By pulling, the panel 93 and the head box 91 can be moved from the standby position to the use position where the counter 61 protrudes significantly. The panel 93 can be moved up and down by pulling the auxiliary cord 92a even in the use position near the second eating and drinking space 65. As shown in FIG.

[Effect of the fourth embodiment]
In addition to the effects (3-1) to (3-6) described above, the partitioning device 90 as described above can obtain the following effects.

(4-1) The partition device 90 can raise and lower the panel 93 between the upper position and the lower position at each of the standby position and the use position. Therefore, the customer 62 can move the panel 93 from the standby position to the use position, from the lower position to the raised position, or from the upper position to the lower position, depending on the environment at that time. Therefore, convenience is improved.

In addition, the partitioning device 90 in the fourth embodiment can also be modified appropriately as follows.
- In the partition device 90, the raising and lowering of the panel 93 may be achieved by winding the lifting cord 92 around a winding shaft built in the head box 91. In this case, by pulling the operation cord suspended from the head box 91, the drive shaft extending in the longitudinal direction of the head box 91 can be rotated to rotate the winding shaft.

- A plurality of different types of partitioning devices may be prepared, one of which may be the partitioning device 90 and the other may be the partitioning device 70 .
