DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a partition used for partitioning a room into a desired space.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Heretofore, as a partition wall of this type, a skirting board installed on the floor and opening upward, an adjuster for height adjustment arranged at a required interval in the skirting board, and A column mounted on the adjuster via a column receiving member, a panel receiving member attached to the column receiving member and having a height that changes according to the elevation of the adjuster, and a lower end portion supported by the panel receiving member. 2. Description of the Related Art There has been known a panel including a column attached to at least one surface of a column.

[0003]

However, such a structure has a problem that it is easily deformed or destroyed by an earthquake. That is, once the height adjustment is completed, the column is interposed so as to protrude between the floor and the ceiling, and the upper and lower ends thereof are substantially fixed. For this reason, when an earthquake occurs after the construction, an excessive stress acts on the portion supporting the column, or a large bending force or a compressive force acts on the column itself. for that reason,
In the event of a major earthquake, the struts may be displaced or distorted from their standing position, and in extreme cases,
It can happen that the struts themselves buckle.

An object of the present invention is to solve such a problem.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention takes the following measures. That is, the partition wall according to the present invention is to partition the space between the ceiling and the floor by interposing a panel between the columns that are erected at predetermined intervals on the floor, and the lower end of the column can be tilted. And a floating connection mechanism for connecting the upper end of the column to the ceiling rail having the upper end attached to the ceiling so as to be slidable and movable up and down.

[0006] The floating connection mechanism is provided outside the ceiling rail.
A ceiling receiving rail slidably fitted from the bottom side to the surface side,
This is projected upward from the bracket provided on the side
Guide pins that penetrate the ceiling receiving rail
Wrap around the guide pins and bracket the bottom of the
With the column attached to the ceiling receiving rail.
And a supporting coil spring.
Support and ceiling so that it can tilt in the wall thickness direction with respect to the rail
Between well receiving rail and / or ceiling receiving rail and ceiling rail
And a gap is formed between them.

In this case, it is desirable to provide an elastically deformable cushion member in the gap in order to prevent rattling.

[0008]

With such a construction, the column has its lower end tiltably supported by the tilting support mechanism, and its upper end can tilt and tilt up and down on the ceiling rail via the floating connection mechanism. When the floor shakes in the horizontal direction due to the earthquake, it tilts in accordance with the direction of the shaking, and when the distance between the floor and the ceiling fluctuates due to the pitch, The upper end moves upward and downward with respect to the ceiling rail to absorb the change in the distance. Therefore, an excessive force due to the shaking of the earthquake does not act on the portion supporting the column or the column itself. Therefore, it is possible to effectively prevent the column from being displaced, distorted, or bent.

When the tongue 6 and the horizontal tongue 14 of the column receiving member 7 are relatively easily deformed elastically, the other end is fixed to the horizontal tongue 14 of the column receiving member 7 that receives the adjacent column 3. It may be. On the inner surface of the hanging portion 35 of the panel receiving member 16,
A cushion rubber G is attached to allow the column receiving member 7 to be tilted in the Y direction and to alleviate the collision of the members in the event of an earthquake. 1 is slightly larger than the external dimension.

The panel 6 is made of, for example, a sheet metal exterior material 38.
And a core material 39 disposed in the exterior material 38. For mounting the panel 6, hook holes (not shown) are formed at predetermined height positions on both side edges of the exterior material 38, and the locking claws 26 of the locking bracket 27 fixed to the support 3 are provided. Then, the hook hole is engaged with the panel receiving member 16 and the lower end is mounted on the flange 36 of the panel receiving member 16.

In the case of a partition wall having such a configuration, when an earthquake is encountered, the strut 3 flexibly responds to the shaking of the floor F and the ceiling C, and the support portion of the strut 3 is displaced. Can be suppressed and the support 3 itself can be effectively prevented from being distorted or bent.

That is, when the relative position between the floor F and the ceiling C is displaced in the X direction due to the roll in the X direction, the support 3
FIG. 4 shows the joint 9 provided on the adjuster 11 as a fulcrum.
In the left-right direction (X direction). At this time, the ceiling receiving rail 28 holding the upper end 3a of the column 3
Is inclined while sliding with respect to the ceiling rail 4,
An excessive force is prevented from acting on the upper end holding portion of the column 3.
When the relative position between the floor F and the ceiling C is displaced in the Y direction due to the roll in the Y direction, the support 3 is moved to the adjuster 11.
A fulcrum joint 9 parts provided with will be tilted in the lateral direction (Y direction) in FIG. At this time, the upper end 3a of the column 3 tilts with respect to the ceiling receiving rail 28 while elastically deforming the cushion rubber G, thereby preventing an excessive force from acting on the upper end holding portion of the column 3. Further, when the distance between the floor F and the ceiling C fluctuates due to the pitching in the Z direction, the guide pins 29 protruding from the upper end 3a of the column 3 are used.
Of the ceiling receiving rail 28 changes. More specifically, when the floor F and the ceiling C approach each other, as shown in FIG. 6, the guide pin 29 may enter the ceiling receiving rail 28 and the ceiling rail 4 deeply while compressing the coil spring. Become. Conversely, when the floor F and the ceiling C are separated, as shown in FIG. 7, the penetration depth of the guide pin 2 decreases. Also in this case, the ceiling receiving rail 28 is moved by the biasing force of the coil spring 31 so that the ceiling rail 4
, The ceiling receiving rail 28 does not come off the ceiling rail 4.

At the time of an actual earthquake, X,
The swings in the Y and Z directions act in a combined manner. However, for the swings in any direction, as described above, the support column 3 tilts or moves up and down in response to the swing without any difficulty. Become. For this reason, it is possible to prevent an excessive stress from acting on the support portion of the column 3 to cause an abnormal displacement or damage of the member, and to reduce a bending stress or a compressive stress acting on the column 3 itself. The strut 3 is greatly reduced
Can be prevented from being deformed. Since the panel 6 is hung on each of the columns 3 via the locking claws 26, the panel 6 relatively flexibly follows the movement of the columns 3.

The configuration of each section is not limited to the illustrated example, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

[0022]

According to the present invention, as described in detail above, the lower end of the column is swingably supported, and the upper end of the column is freely supported by the ceiling rail. At this time, it is possible to prevent or suppress an excessive force from acting on the mounting portion of the column or a bending stress or a compressive stress from being applied to the column itself regardless of the roll and pitch. As a result, it is possible to effectively suppress the displacement of the column, the destruction of components, and the distortion or buckling of the column itself against various types of shaking. That can withstand.

In particular, if the tilting support mechanism is provided with a joint for connecting between the adjuster and the column so as to be tiltable , the column can be tilted in all directions without difficulty. It is possible to do.

Also, the floating connection mechanism is configured such that a guide pin projecting from a column is penetrated through a ceiling receiving rail loosely and slidably fitted to the ceiling rail from below so as to be able to ascend and descend. With a coil spring interposed between them, no matter how the column is tilted or ascending or descending from the ceiling, the upper end of the column can be connected to the ceiling rail without coming off easily. You can keep. Furthermore, in this case, if a cushion member that can be elastically deformed is provided between the support and the ceiling receiving rail or in a gap provided between the ceiling support and the ceiling rail, it is possible to prevent the support from floating with respect to the ceiling rail. It is possible to deal flexibly without any rattling.
