Description

Description: TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a movable partition wall installed on a floor with an upper end being released.

[Prior art] Conventionally, as movable partition walls used in offices and the like,
It is known that a plurality of panels are sequentially connected via a connector.

Conventional panels, for example, left and right side frame material, upper frame material, and lower frame material are gathered in a frame shape so as to surround the core material,
It is configured by attaching a face plate made of a thin iron plate to both surfaces thereof with an epoxy adhesive or the like. A concave groove having a tapered inner side surface is formed in the upper frame member of the panel, and a taper portion which is taperedly fitted in the concave groove is provided in the connecting member. Then, by tightening the upper frame material of each panel corresponding to the connector bridged between the concave grooves of the adjacent panels, the tapered portion is pushed between the inner surfaces of the concave grooves, and the panel is fitted by the taper fitting. They are firmly connected to each other.

The movable partition wall using such a panel is a completely opaque wall, which blocks not only the line of sight but also the light. There is also an increasing demand for some or all of them to be transparent or translucent.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In order to cope with such a demand, it is conceivable to use a translucent panel in which a glass plate is mounted inside a frame. It cannot be reinforced by the face plate. For this reason, it is difficult to make the frame highly rigid without using expensive methods such as aluminum welding and maintaining dimensions that can be connected to the conventional opaque panel. There's a problem.

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

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention employs the following means in order to achieve the above object.

That is, the movable partition wall according to the present invention is provided with a light-transmitting panel which is provided with a light-transmitting plate mounted inside the frame and is connected to another adjacent panel via a connecting tool having a tapered portion. Wherein the frame of the translucent panel includes left and right side frame members, an upper frame member interposed between upper end portions of the side frame members, and a lower frame interposed between lower end portions of the side frame members. And an assembling bolt for tightening and joining the side frame material to the end faces of the upper frame material and the lower frame material, and the upper surface of the upper frame material and the upper end of the side frame material, Each of the connecting tools is provided with a concave groove for taper fitting, and one half of the connecting tool is tightened to the upper frame material by a tightening bolt, so that the tapered portion of the connecting tool is recessed in the upper frame material. It is designed to be able to be pushed into the groove and the groove of the side frame material, respectively, The provided, on their horizontal wall portion,
The present invention is characterized in that a shaft nut is penetrated, and a mounting bolt having a side frame material penetrated is screwed into the shaft nut.

The light-transmitting plate includes not only a transparent plate having a high light transmittance but also a translucent plate having a low light transmittance.

As a preferred embodiment for screwing the tightening bolt,
It is preferable that a plurality of levels of horizontal walls are provided on the upper frame member, and a plate-shaped nut for screwing a tightening bolt is inserted and held between the pair of horizontal walls.

As preferable materials of the upper frame material, the side frame material and the lower frame material,
An aluminum extruded material may be used.

As a preferred embodiment of the whole movable partition wall using such a light-transmitting panel, there is one in which a column can be interposed between a side frame member and a side frame member of an adjacent panel. In this case, an engaging hole is provided on each of the right and left joint surfaces of the pillar, and an engaging claw that bends downward to engage with the engaging hole is provided on the side frame member, and is held near the upper end of the pillar. It is preferable that a bolt that penetrates the center of the connecting tool is screwed into the nut thus set, so that the column is relatively drawn toward the connecting tool by the tightening force.

[Operation] With such a configuration, a bridge is formed between the upper frame material of the light-transmitting panel of the connecting tool and the upper frame material of an adjacent suitable panel, and each of the upper frame materials is tightened by a tightening bolt. When tightened, the tapered portion of the connecting tool is pushed between the tapered inner surfaces of the concave groove, and the light-transmitting panel and another adjacent panel are firmly connected.

In this case, the translucent panel includes not only the upper frame material,
A concave groove is also provided at the upper end of the side frame member connected to the end surface of the upper frame member, and by tightening the tightening bolt, the taper portion of the connecting tool is turned into a concave groove of the upper frame member and a side frame member. And each of the grooves is tapered. Therefore, the upper frame member and the side frame member of the glass panel are positioned relative to each other by the connecting member, and the corner of the frame is particularly strong. That is, according to the configuration of the present invention, it is possible to strongly connect the light-transmitting panel and another panel by the connecting member, and also to increase the rigidity of the frame of the light-transmitting panel.

Since the side frame member is tightly joined to the upper frame member and the lower frame member by the assembling bolts, the frame maintains its form even when the connection state is released. The frame can be disassembled by removing the attached bolts. However, since the mounting bolts for tightening the side frame member to the upper frame member are screwed to a shaft nut penetrated through the horizontal wall portion of the upper frame member, the structure of the upper frame member is reduced. It is possible to eliminate such a trouble that the groove is complicated or the concave groove of the upper frame material taperedly engaged with the connecting tool is distorted by heat due to welding or the like. That is, when a block having a screw hole at the end of the upper frame material is fixed by welding, or when a vertical wall is formed at the end of the upper frame material and a nut is fastened to the wall, the block, The heat generated when welding the vertical wall, the nut, or the like is likely to cause distortion at the end of the upper frame material, which tends to cause a problem that the concave groove is deformed so that the taper engagement of the coupler cannot be performed densely. On the other hand, if the shaft nut as described above is used, it is only necessary to form a hole in the horizontal wall portion formed in a plurality of steps in the upper frame member and insert the shaft nut.
Moreover, since the tightening force of the assembling bolt acts in a direction intersecting with the axis of the shaft nut, the shaft nut is firmly fixed to the upper frame member only by tightening the assembly nut. Therefore, there is no need to employ a complicated structure for firmly fixing the shaft nut to the upper frame material, or to fix it by welding.

Further, the light-transmitting panel is not limited to one having a vertical dimension corresponding to the height of the movable partition wall. For example, the transparent panel has a vertical dimension of about half of the movable partition wall, in other words, an opaque waist wall panel. It may be in the form of a window frame connected above.

[Effects of the Invention] Since the present invention has the above-described configuration, an expensive method such as aluminum welding is used, or a bulky member that cannot be connected to a conventional opaque panel is used. Instead, the frame of the translucent panel can be made highly rigid, and a robust movable partition wall can be easily constructed by appropriately combining with a normal panel. In particular, in the present invention, the upper frame member of the light-transmitting panel is provided with a plurality of horizontal wall portions, and the side frame member is fixed to the upper frame member by an assembling bolt screwed into a shaft-shaped nut penetrated through the horizontal wall portions. As a result, welding of a nut or the like becomes unnecessary, and deformation of the upper frame member due to welding heat can be prevented. for that reason,
The connector is tightly taperedly engaged with the concave groove formed in the upper frame member, so that the strength and rigidity of the panel connecting portion can be surely improved without difficulty.
