Description

Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a partition device having a hollow portion, the structure of which can be used as a storage location for articles in the hollow portion. .

[Problems to be solved by conventional technology and invention]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in an office, a work room, or the like, a space of a room is partitioned by a partition device for each work section or the like.

Since this partitioning device is provided merely for the purpose of partitioning a space, even if there is a space between the front and rear plates in the partitioning device, this space has a small gap dimension in the thickness direction of the partition, and is used for power or communication at best. The main area is wiring for wiring or piping space for gas and water (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 1-25 / 1990).
No. 6649).

If a large storage space is required,
As disclosed in JP-A-113415, a storage unit including a shelf device or a storage box for storing articles may be arranged adjacent to a wall plate or a partition panel arranged linearly in a plan view. Proposed.

By the way, the partitioning device having a small thickness is made to be hard to fall down in the thickness direction and to have an article storage portion. By forming a bulging portion at the lower part of the corner of the partition panel, the bulging portion is stably erected, and a storage space for a waste container is provided in the lower side of the bulging portion. It has been proposed to wear a washbasin.

Further, in JP-A-1-214652, a substantially U-shaped end panel is provided continuously at one end of a linear partition panel, and a U-shaped internal space of the end panel is formed in an article storage portion. At the same time, it has been proposed that the end panel and the linear partition panel be integrated to be self-supporting.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

However, the configuration described in JP-A-1-256649 cannot be applied to other than an L-shaped partition panel in plan view. In other words, if it is applied to a linear partition panel, the bulging portion is too protruding as in the case where the storage box or the like is externally attached to the outside of the front surface or the back surface of the partition panel, and it obstructs the foot of passers-by. Indeed, there was a problem that the beauty of the room was spoiled.

Further, in the configuration described in JP-A-1-214652, both the pair of front and back elastic connecting sheets and the wall covering material wrapping the front and back of the small width plate material are both formed into a curved shape in a U-shape in plan view. Since the internal space is narrowed, and the internal space is divided into upper and lower parts and configured as an article storage portion, a separate shelf board, a door, or the like is directly attached to the elastic connection sheet, the wall covering material, or the plate material one by one. There is also a problem that it has to be fixed, and the assembling work also takes time.

The present invention solves the above-mentioned conventional problems, and impairs the aesthetics of the office or the working room, or reduces traffic by using a new idea of using the hollow interior of the partitioning device used in the office or the working room as a storage location for articles. It is an object of the present invention to extremely simplify the operation of forming a storage section for articles without disturbing the feet of the user.

[Means for solving the problem]

In order to achieve this object, the partitioning device according to the first aspect of the present invention is a partitioning device comprising a front plate and a back plate that are appropriately separated from each other and a hollow portion is formed between the two plates. On the wide surface of at least one of the front plate and the back plate, an opening having an appropriate shape such as a rectangular shape in a plan view communicating with the hollow portion is provided, and the opening portion can be inserted into the hollow portion. A storage unit for storing articles is detachably mounted.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the partitioning device according to the first aspect, a space between the front and back surfaces of the one or both of the front surface and the rear surface in a plan view. Is formed so as to increase, and the inside of the swelling portion between the front and back plates is formed as a hollow portion into which the storage unit can be fitted, and an opening formed in at least one of the front plate and the back plate. The storage unit is inserted so that its front surface does not protrude from the wide surface of the front plate or the rear plate, and the outer surface of the storage unit is detachably engaged with the inner edge of the opening. A locking claw is provided.

[Functions and Effects of the Invention]

According to the first aspect of the invention, the hollow portion between the front plate and the back plate in the partitioning device is a space in which the storage unit can enter, and the front plate or the back surface is communicated with the space (hollow portion). An opening having an appropriate shape such as a rectangular shape in a plan view is provided on a wide surface of at least one of the face plates, and a storage unit can be detachably attached to the opening from outside the partitioning device. Therefore, the center of gravity of the partitioning device in the thickness direction is more stable between the front plate and the back plate than when a shelf device or an article storage box is externally attached outside the front and back plates of the partition device. Performance is improved, and the storage unit is not located outside the front plate or back plate,
This has the effect of improving the aesthetic appearance without disturbing the feet of workers and passers-by.

Since the storage unit is detachable from the opening, different types of storage units are prepared, and are arbitrarily replaced and mounted, so that a partitioning device according to a user's preference and use can be easily and easily provided. This has the effect that it can be provided quickly.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, the middle part of the wide surface of one or both of the front plate and the back plate in the partitioning device is bulged such that the space between the front and back plates increases in plan view. Since it is formed, the dimension in the thickness direction of the partitioning device becomes large (at the halfway portion),
The partitioning device becomes easier to stand on its own. As a result, the thickness (depth dimension) of the hollow portion between the front and back plates can be increased, so that a storage unit having a large depth dimension can be arranged between the front and back plates.

Further, the storage unit is inserted into the hollow portion in the partitioning device from an opening provided on the front surface side or the rear surface side, and the front surface of the storage unit is widened in the front surface or the rear surface in the inserted state. Because it does not protrude from the surface,
The aesthetic feeling can be improved, and the inconvenience of pedestrians walking along the partition device can be avoided.

In addition, when the storage unit is inserted and mounted, the outer surface of the storage unit is provided with a locking claw that engages with the inner edge of the opening, so that the storage unit can be mounted with one touch, thus facilitating assembly work. Another effect is that there is no time and effort.
