Description

  The present invention relates to an improvement of a partition used indoors or outdoors, especially for restricting the free movement of pets such as dogs, etc. In particular, the design and visibility are adequate while having sufficient strength. The present invention relates to a partition that can be secured.

  For example, use a partition that can be easily installed as a means to restrict the movement of pets, etc., in order to keep pets such as dogs from entering unexpected places, etc. There is.

  In such a partition for pets, conventionally, a metal lattice or a net-like partition surrounded by four sides is generally used (for example, see Patent Document 1). In such partitions that have air permeability to the outside on the wall surface, the meaning of restricting movement by pets such as dogs from the eyes of the lattice and making unexpected mischiefs is lost or unexpected contact There was also a risk of injury to pets. In addition, dog hair loss or the like may pass through the lattice eyes and scatter out of the partition. Furthermore, when a metal grid is used, there is a problem that the weight increases and it cannot be easily installed at an arbitrary location.

  Therefore, it is preferable to use a partition that forms such a blind barrier space. In this case, if the partition which does not have translucency is used, in the space enclosed by the partition, a pet etc. may feel a blockage and may affect the mental state of the pet. Therefore, for example, it is conceivable to form the planar portion (wall surface) of the partition from glass or a transparent or translucent flat plate-like plastic plate.

  However, on the other hand, since these pets may collide with pets such as dogs, they need to have sufficient strength and safety. In this regard, with glass, a certain level of strength can be secured, but if the colliding pet is injured or damaged, the broken glass may cause the pet to be injured. As with the metal grid, there is a drawback that the weight is increased. In addition, a flat plastic plate does not necessarily have sufficient strength, and may cause a pet to go out of the partition by breaking through the partition due to a collision. For this reason, it is desirable to have elasticity while having a certain degree of strength.

  In this case, in order to ensure the strength of the planar portion (wall surface portion) of the partition, it is necessary to support the upper, lower, left and right ends (four sides) of the plate-like member with a frame as in the above-described prior art. It becomes. However, it is desirable to adjust the size, especially the installation width, according to the installation location for the partition that is easily installed at any location, and it is easy to open and close pets by adjusting the installation width. Can be a gate.

  For this purpose, it is conceivable that the two partition members are slidably connected to each other so that they can expand and contract in the width direction (left and right). However, in this case, when the partition members in which all the upper, lower, left and right ends are surrounded by the frame are combined, for example, when sliding in a direction away from each other, either the left or right frame of the single partition member The body (the frame that is installed across the vertical direction of the partition) will be present in the middle of the extended partition and in the vicinity of the middle, and when viewed from the front, the two leftmost and rightmost frames In addition to this, there will be one or two frames arranged in the vertical direction in the meantime, and the design will be deteriorated, and it is used as a kind of furniture especially when installed indoors. Therefore, it is not preferable. Furthermore, if there is a frame at the center, the pet may collide and be injured.

In this case, it is conceivable that no frame is provided at either of the left and right ends of each partition member, but this may reduce the strength. Thus, conventionally, there has not been provided a partition that has sufficient strength and can simultaneously achieve designability and pet safety.

  Therefore, unlike the flat plastic plate, the plate-like member 14 in the present invention is sufficiently provided by these reinforcing walls 18, and even if a pet or the like collides, the plurality of hollow portions 16 are deformed and shocked. It can be absorbed and the safety of pets and the like can be ensured. The interval between the plurality of reinforcing walls 18, in other words, the number of the reinforcing walls 18, and hence the size of the plurality of hollow portions 16, can be arbitrarily set as necessary. Since the strength decreases if the interval between the 18 is too large, it is preferable to set the strength in consideration to some extent. Further, the thickness of each wall surface such as the reinforcing wall 18 of the plate-like member 14 is set so that the hollow portion 16 can be slightly deformed to absorb the impact, and the plate-like member 14 can be elastically deformed. Form from material.

  Specifically, the plate-like member 14 can be integrally formed as a whole by extruding plastic, but in addition, a flat plastic plate is formed on the core portion formed in a wave shape. It can also be formed by bonding or the like. In the illustrated embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, the plurality of hollow portions 16 are formed so as to divide a plurality of spaces between two flat plates in the illustrated embodiment, that is, hollow. The both sides of the portion 16 are formed so as to be closed by the flat plate material, but the concave and convex portions are formed only on one surface of the single flat plate material so that a plurality of hollow portions 16 exist in the single flat plate material. You can also

  In addition, the plate-like member 14 is light-transmitting so that pets in the partition 10 can confirm the owner and the like, and at the same time, can feel a sense of security without feeling a blockage. It is desirable to have. Specifically, the plate member 14 can be dealt with by forming it from a transparent or translucent plastic material. In consideration of such translucency and the workability and impact absorbability at the time of molding such as extrusion described above, the plate-like member 14 is specifically made of polypropylene, polycarbonate, polyethylene, polystyrene, polychlorinated. It can be formed from vinyl, ABS resin and other thermoplastic resins.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 4, the frame 12 has a groove 12a into which the end of the plate member 14 is inserted, and the plate member 14 is supported by the groove 12a. The frame body 12 is preferably formed of wood or the like from the viewpoint of ensuring a certain level of strength and workability while simultaneously ensuring design and light weight. In the drawings, reference numeral 28 denotes a leg portion that supports the frame, and the leg portion 28 can be formed of, for example, steel in consideration of a certain degree of strength.

  In the present invention, the plate-like member 14 has at least a pair of opposing end portions, specifically, in the illustrated embodiment, the upper and lower ends of the plate-like member 14 are framed as shown in FIGS. It is held by the body 12. In this case, the plate-like member 14 is arranged such that the plurality of hollow portions 14 extend over the upper end and the lower end.

  On the other hand, the other pair of opposing ends of the plate-like member 14, that is, in the illustrated embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, only one of the left end and the right end is the frame 12. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 6, the other end is restrained from shifting in the left-right direction by a wire 20 having a self-holding property that is supported by the frame body 12 through the hollow portion 16. Has been.

  In this case, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, when the two partitions 10A and 10B are combined as partition members to form an extendable partition 10 as in the illustrated embodiment, The end where displacement is regulated is arranged toward the center of the partition 10. That is, the two partitions 10 </ b> A and 10 </ b> B are connected so that the end portion on the side where the wire 20 is installed (the end portion on which the frame body 12 is not provided) faces each other.

  As a result, the wire 20 regulates the displacement of the plate-like member 14 in the left-right direction instead of the frame 12 and secures sufficient fixing strength of the plate-like member 14, as shown in FIG. Even if the two partitions 10A and 10B are extended so as to be separated from each other, the frame body 12 exists in the middle of the plate-like member 14 (between the left and right frame bodies 12A and 12B) as shown in FIGS. It is possible to ensure excellent design. The wire 20 can be formed from an appropriate metal material.

The hook-shaped tip 20a is locked so as to be hooked on a bar-like member 22 such as a nail that is driven and supported by the upper frame 12, while a screw groove 20b is cut at the other end (lower end). The screw groove 20b is screwed and fixed to a screw receiver 24 attached to the other (lower) frame 12.

  In this case, since the plurality of hollow portions 16 are formed so as to penetrate the opposing end portions (upper and lower end portions in the illustrated embodiment) of the plate-like member 14, the hollow portions 16 are self-maintaining. The wire 20 having a property can be penetrated and supported by the frame body. On the other hand, the wire 20 is formed to have a length that can penetrate the plurality of hollow portions 16 and has one end on the screw groove 20b side. It can be fixed to the frame 12 by being inserted into the hollow portion 16 from above the hollow portion 16 and screwed into the screw receiver 24 at the lower end. Accordingly, the displacement of the hollow portion 16 through which the wire 20 passes is restricted by the wire 20, and the displacement of the left and right end portions of the plate-like member 14 in the left-right direction can be restricted without the frame body 12. .

  As shown in FIG. 4, the partitions 10A and 10B that are slidably connected to each other are arranged in parallel and attached across the frame 12 of the two partitions 10A and 10B at the upper and lower ends. The sliding pieces 26 are slidably connected to each other, and can be expanded and contracted in the width direction (left-right direction) by sliding, as shown in FIG. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 3, the partition 10 can be adjusted in installation width in accordance with the installation location, and the gate that opens and closes the partition by adjusting the installation width so that pets can be easily put in and out. can do.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the sliding piece 26 is located above and below the portion of the frame 12 where the wires 20 are present, that is, near the left end or right end of each partition 10A, 10B (the frame 12 in the left-right direction). The wire 20 is fixed to the frame 12 on the side where the wire 20 exists, and is slidably installed on the frame 12 of the other partition 10. Therefore, in the illustrated embodiment in which the two partitions 10A and 10B are connected, the sliding piece 26 has two sliding pieces for each of the upper and lower frame bodies 12, as shown in FIGS. A moving piece 26 (a total of four sliding pieces 26 in total) is installed.

  Thereby, as shown in FIG. 3, the sliding piece 26 moves together with the fixed partitions 10A and 10B among the two partitions 10A and 10B connected to each other, and is shown in FIG. Thus, in the most contracted state, the wire 20 is positioned so as to be close to the frame 12 (the frame 12A or 12B arranged on the left and right) of the partition 10A, 10B on the side where the wire 20 is not fixed. The other partition 10A, 10B abuts on the left and right frames 12A, 12B, and further contraction is restricted. From this state, as shown in FIG. One or both of the partitions 10A, 10B can be stretched by nurturing in a direction in which the left and right frames 12A, 12B are separated from each other, and in the most extended state, sliding 26 with each other is brought into contact with each other, are regulated more extended, two partitions 10A, 10B is not entirely separate.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the sliding piece 26 has an end portion on the opposite side to the left and right frame bodies 12A, 12B of each partition 10A, 10B (the end portion on the side where the frame bodies 12A, 12B are not present). The wire 20 is installed near the center of the sliding piece 26 as shown in FIG. Therefore, the wire 20 can regulate the displacement of the left and right end portions of the partitions 10A and 10B.
