As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, a plurality of partition walls 3 are provided between an upper frame member 11 attached to the ceiling 1 and a lower frame member 21 attached to the floor 2. The columns 4 are erected at predetermined intervals, and panels 5 are attached to both side surfaces 4a of the columns 4.

As shown in FIG. 3, the upper frame member 11 has a downward channel shape having hanging portions 11a on both side edges.
It is fixed to the ceiling 1 by a fastening device 12. Lower frame material 21
Is an upward channel, and the floor 2 is
Fixed on top. The column 4 includes a column main body 41 having a prismatic pipe shape. The upper end of the column main body 41 is held by the upper frame member 11 via a cap fitting member 42, and the lower end of the column main body 41 is connected to a lower frame via an adjuster 43. The material 21 is supported. At the lower end of the column main body 41, a base 44 made of a thick sheet metal is horizontally fixed. The panel 5 has a core member 52 fixed to the inner surface of a face plate 51 whose peripheral edge is bent inward, and a pipe-like reinforcing frame member 5 on both left and right edges of the inner surface of the face plate 51.
In the inner surface of the reinforcing frame member 53, a plurality of vertically elongated engagement holes 54 are formed at predetermined intervals, as shown in FIG. Both side edges of the base 44 are bent downward into an L-shaped cross section, and the bent portion functions as a drop preventing member 6 for holding the panel 5 at a predetermined height position. A gap s into which the upper edge of the panel 5 can be inserted is formed between the hanging portion 11 a of the upper frame member 11 and the cap fitting member 42 of the pillar 4.
The inside of a is functioned as a tilt preventing member 7 for preventing the panel 5 from tilting away from the column 4.

As shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, the panel 5 is mounted on the column 4 by providing an elevating member 8 on the column 4.
Is pulled down by the lifting / lowering body urging mechanism 9. Specifically, the lifting body 8 is
Is a plate-shaped member in contact with a surface 4b orthogonal to the panel 5 in the above, and has a vertically elongated slit 81 in the middle thereof. Then, the slit 81 is engaged with the pin 45 implanted in the column 4 so that the pin 45 can be moved up and down. The opening width of the slit 81 is substantially equal to the outer diameter of the pin 45. Therefore, the elevating body 8 can slide up and down with some frictional resistance.
At the lower end of the slit 81, a circular portion 81a is formed.
The size of the circular portion 81a is set to allow the large-diameter portion 45a of the pin 45 to pass through. Downwardly bent pawls 82 are integrally provided at portions corresponding to the engagement holes 54 on both side edges of the elevating body 8. The lifting body urging mechanism 9
As shown in FIG. 4, a bolt insertion hole 91 is formed in the base 44.
At the lower end of the elevating body 8, a bent portion 83 is formed parallel to the base 44, and the bent portion 83 is provided with a screw hole 92. The bolt 93 inserted into the bolt insertion hole 91 is

The procedure for attaching the panel 5 to the pillar 4 will be specifically described as follows. First, the upper end 5a of the panel 4 is inclined with the hanging portion 11a of the upper frame material 11 while the panel 4 is tilted.
Then, the lower end of the panel 5 is placed on the fall prevention member 6 while the panel 5 is standing upright. As a result, the panel 5 is held at a fixed height position, and the upper end 5a of the panel 5 abuts against the tilt prevention member 7, thereby preventing the panel 5 from falling outward. Panel 5
Before mounting the panel 5, the lifting body 8 is pulled up to a predetermined lifting position, and when the panel 5 is mounted, each claw 82 of the lifting body 8 is
Is inserted into each of the engagement holes 54 of the panel 5. Next, a wrench (not shown) inserted from below the panel 5 is engaged with a bolt 93 of the lifting / lowering body urging mechanism 9, and the bent portion 83 of the lifting / lowering body 8 is pulled toward the base 44 by rotating the bolt 93. As a result, the entire elevating body 8 slides downward, and the claws 82 are irretrievably engaged with the engagement holes 54. In this case, the engagement hole 54
As shown in FIG. 1, the panel 5 can be positioned if the width of the lower end is set to be substantially equal to the thickness of the claw 82 as shown in FIG. Also, the width of the joint t formed between the panels 5 can be made accurate.

The partition wall 3 has a straight joint portion A.
2 (see FIG. 2), the side surface 4a of the common pillar 4
The ends of the panels 5 are attached to each other, and the panels 5 are attached to the columns 4 by lifting members 8 provided on both surfaces 4b of the pillars 4, respectively. End B of partition wall 3

At the T-shaped intersection C, an auxiliary column 204 is attached to the column 4 on which the panel 5 has already been mounted from outside the panel 5 by bolts. And this auxiliary pillar 204
Then, the panel 5 is mounted using the same elevating body 8 as described above.

According to such a panel mounting structure, the panel 5 can be moved by one operation of lowering the elevating body 8.
Can be fixed to the column 4 at the same time. In the case of this embodiment, both panels 5
Can be fixed at the same time. For this reason, the number of working steps can be significantly reduced as compared with the case where the brackets arranged at a plurality of locations are screwed to the columns. Moreover, once the panel 5 is placed on the fall prevention member 6, it does not fall down or fall out even if the user releases his / her hand. Therefore, the operation of arranging the panel 5 at a predetermined position and the operation of fixing the panel 5 to the column 4 can be sequentially performed separately. Therefore, the number of workers can be reduced as compared with the case where screws are fixed while holding down the panel. In addition, according to such a configuration, there is no bracket or the like in the joint t formed between the panels 5. Therefore, it is not necessary to provide a special joint cover or the like, and if necessary, a hook hole for hanging a shelf or the like can be provided in a portion corresponding to the joint t in the pillar 4.

The present invention is not limited to the embodiment described above, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

[0021]

According to the present invention having the above-described structure, the operation of setting a panel at a predetermined position and the operation of fixing the panel to a column can be sequentially performed separately. In addition, a single operation of lowering the elevating body allows a plurality of portions of the panel to be fixed to the pillar at once. Therefore, the panel can be securely attached to the pillar with a small number of steps without requiring many operators.
