[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a connecting structure of an upper panel and a lower panel of a partition formed by stacking panels side by side and stacking them upward.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In the case of a partition arranged upright from a floor surface to a ceiling, there are many cases where a plurality of panels are stacked without using a single panel to the ceiling.
In this case, the upper and lower panels are connected to each other using a connecting material. Although various shapes are used as the connecting member, FIGS. 3A and 3B show specific examples thereof. Although the shape of each connecting material (a) is different from each other, the upper and lower panels (b)
The connecting material (a) is located at the bottom of the joint (c) formed between
Has an exposed structure.

Therefore, if the connecting member (a) does not extend over the left and right studs (not shown), a hole is formed at the joint bottom, and the exposed surface where the connecting member (a) is exposed is a panel (b). ) Must be painted in the same color as the surface material
The work man-hours are relatively large, and the types of connecting materials (a) also increase. In addition, since the upper and lower panels (b) and (b) are connected only through the connecting member (a),
Since the upper and lower panels (b) and (b) do not directly restrain each other, the connection strength is weak. And the appearance is impaired.

[0004]

As described above, the connection structure between the upper and lower panels has the above-mentioned problems. The problem to be solved by the present invention is this problem, and the connection is made without a step between the upper and lower panels with a short piece-like connecting member without using a long member spanning both studs. Provide a structure that can be used.

[0005]

The panel connecting structure of the present invention is a structure in which a connecting member is interposed between upper and lower panels, and this point is common to the conventional connecting structure. However, in the present invention, the member used as the connecting member is not a long member but a short piece member and has a structure that can be arranged at an appropriate position. This connecting member is a piece member having a substantially U-shaped cross section formed with vertical side pieces on both sides, and this side piece positions the upper and lower panels. At the upper end of the lower panel, a receptacle for a concave groove formed by bending the panel surface material is formed, and the lower end of the side member of the connecting member fits into the concave groove.

[0006] At the lower end of the upper panel, there is provided a fitting piece formed by extending the panel surface material vertically downward, and this fitting piece abuts on the connecting material side piece and fits into the above-mentioned concave groove. The connecting structure of the present invention has a structure in which a connecting material is interposed between the upper and lower panels, and the upper and lower panels are not restricted to the connecting material alone. But even more
The lower panel has a structure in which the surface members are mutually restrained. Therefore, the fitting piece of the upper panel exists at the joint bottom, and the side piece of the connecting member is not exposed. Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

[0007]

FIG. 1 is an embodiment showing a panel connection structure of the present invention. In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a panel, 2 denotes a connecting member, and lower panels 1a and 1a are vertically arranged at predetermined intervals, and upper panels 1b and 1b are provided above the lower panels 1a and 1a.
b is on it. Of course, the upper panels 1b and 1b are also arranged vertically at equal intervals to form a partition. Panel 1
Is a backing material 3 made of a gypsum board or the like, to which a metal surface material 4 is adhered. These panels 1a, 1a, 1
b and 1b are fixed to studs (not shown) whose both ends are vertically erected.

The structure for fixing the panel to the stud is free. For example, a nail can be fixed to the panel side, and the panel 1 can be fixed by locking the nail in a slit groove formed in the stud. . The upper end of the surface member 4 of the lower panel 1a is bent to form a concave groove 5, and the side piece 6 of the connecting member 2 is fitted in the concave groove 5. The connecting member 2 is a piece member having a substantially U-shaped cross section in which the upper piece 7 and the both side pieces 6 and 6 are formed, and the length thereof is not such that it extends over both studs.

The upper panel 1b is placed on the lower panel 1a with the connecting member 2 interposed therebetween.
The lower end of the surface material 4 forms a fitting piece 8 extending vertically downward. The fitting piece 8 is provided with the concave groove 5 of the lower panel 1a, 1a,
5, and comes into contact with the side piece 6 of the connecting member 2 arranged so as to fit in the concave groove 5. A joint 9 is formed between the lower panel 1a and the upper panel 1b, and both panels 1a, 1b are fixed. The fitting piece 8 is located at the joint bottom. When the fitting piece 8 comes into contact with the side piece 6 of the connecting member 2, the upper panel 1 b does not curve inward, and the fitting piece 8 projects outward and curves because the fitting piece 8 fits into the concave groove 5. Not even.

Conversely, the lower panel 1a is also positioned by fitting the side piece 6 of the connecting member 2 and the fitting piece 8 of the upper panel 1b into the concave groove 5, and a step is formed between the upper and lower panels 1b and 1a. It becomes a partition without. The connecting member 2 is a short piece member, and its arrangement place is arbitrary. In particular, it is possible to correct a step between the upper and lower panels 1b and 1a by locating the panel 1 at a curved portion. I can do it.

FIG. 2 shows another embodiment of the present invention. The basic connecting structure is the same as that of the above embodiment, but the shape of the side piece 6 of the connecting member 2 is changed. That is, the side piece 6 is bent to form a step, and is composed of an upper piece 6b and a lower piece 6a. The lower piece 6a is the lower panel 1 as in the previous embodiment.
a, and the fitting pieces 8 of the upper panel 1b are fitted and connected to each other, but the upper piece 6b is brought into contact with the back surface 10 of the backing material 3 of the upper panel 1b. In contact.

Since the backing material 3 is supported by the connecting material 2, the upper panel 1b does not bend with respect to the pressing force acting on the surface, and the strength of the partition as a whole is improved. As described above, the panel connecting structure of the present invention has a connecting member having a substantially U-shaped cross section interposed between the upper and lower panels, and the connecting member fits the side piece into the concave groove of the lower panel. In addition, the structure is such that the fitting piece of the upper panel abuts on the side piece and is fitted into the above-mentioned concave groove, and the following effects can be obtained.

[0013]

[Effect of the Invention] The connecting structure of the present invention not only has a connecting member interposed between the upper and lower panels, but also fits a side member of the connecting member into a concave groove of the lower panel and a fitting piece of the upper panel. Is brought into contact with the side piece and fitted into the concave groove, so that there is no slight step between the upper and lower panels. That is, the upper and lower panels have a structure in which the surface materials are constrained to each other with the connecting material interposed therebetween, so that the upper and lower panels are restricted to each other to eliminate the above-mentioned step and, of course, improve the connecting strength.

Further, the bottom of the joint formed between the upper and lower panels is formed by the locking piece of the upper panel, that is, the side piece of the connecting member does not become the joint bottom and is exposed as in the related art. Therefore, the connecting member functions sufficiently with a short piece material, and the necessity of painting the connecting member is eliminated. In addition, the short piece-shaped connecting member can exhibit an action of correcting the curvature of the panel by being arranged at the curved portion of the panel.
