BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a lower connecting bracket for connecting panels constituting a low partition to each other.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A low partition connects a plurality of panels to partition a predetermined small space. The low partition is of a one-way type which is linearly connected, a two-way type which intersects with an L type, a T type. There is a three-way system that intersects with the system. 2 above
In the one-way system or the three-way system, a stud is interposed at the intersection and a panel is connected to the stud. In a one-way low partition, the panel-side ends are connected to each other without using the stud and connected. In some cases.

When connecting both panels, a connecting fitting is used. There are two kinds of connecting fittings, one of which is a fitting for connecting the upper end of the panel, and the other is a fitting for connecting the lower part of the panel. It is a metal fitting to be connected. The metal fittings targeted by the present invention are the latter lower connecting metal fittings, and the metal fittings connecting the upper ends are excluded.However, the conventional lower connecting metal fitting has a key-shaped bent shape, and the bent key portion has a panel. The structure is such that the side ends are locked.

FIG. 5 shows a conventional lower connecting bracket (a). A locking groove is formed at a side end of the panel (b), and a locking groove of one panel (b) is formed. To the key (c) of the lower connection bracket (a), and attach another panel to the key (d) on the opposite side.
Lock the locking groove of (b). Therefore, both panels (b) and (b) are connected via the lower connecting bracket (a). Since the upper and lower keys (c) and (d) are inclined as shown in the figure, the keys (c) and (d) fit into the respective panel locking grooves,
Panels (b) and (b) can obtain a stable connection form without any gap.

By the way, the above-mentioned conventional lower connection fitting (a)
When the panels (b) and (b) are installed, they are attached to the locking grooves to form a low partition. In other words, since it is not provided on the panel itself,
(B) must be kept separately from the panel (b).
When using the lower connection fitting (a), the panel (b),
(B) When changing the connection mode of the lower connection bracket (b)
May run out, or conversely.

FIG. 6 shows a form of a low partition constituted by using four panels (b), (b),..., Where a triangle indicates a stud, and 1, 2, 3,. The numerals represent the lower connecting metal fittings (a), (a)... For example, in the case of the L-shaped low partition shown in a, six lower connecting metal fittings
(B), (b) ... are required. However, the panel used (b),
(B) are the same four, but the lower partition of b and c requires seven lower connecting brackets (a), (a), and the lower partition of the form shown in d has eight. There must be lower connecting brackets (a), (b) ... In this way, the number of required lower connecting brackets (a), (a),... Differs depending on the configuration of the low partition to be configured. May occur.

In view of the above, a structure in which a lower connection fitting is previously attached to the panel itself so that the panel can be pulled out when necessary is disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. Hei 3-202530.
It is known from U.S. Pat. Although this movable partition wall has a connecting claw rotatably attached thereto, the structure is considerably complicated, and another panel is placed on the tip of the connecting claw, so that the weight of the panel acts. Therefore, the connection strength is relatively low, the stability is impaired, and in this structure, the connection claws are loose.
