A drive plate 24 is provided on one side surface of the vertical frame 3 so as to be vertically movable, and a driven plate 25 is vertically movable on the other side surface facing the drive plate 24. 24A
Is fixed linearly, the chain 25A is also fixed linearly to the driven plate 25, and the sprocket 26 rotatably arranged in the middle is meshed with both chains 24A and 25A, and the operating portion 9 is operated to operate. By rotating the screw shaft 13 in one direction, the drive plate 24 descends and the driven plate 25 rises. Then, a pressing plate 27 is fixed to the upper end of the driven plate 25, and a cylindrical pressing member 28, which is opened downward so as to cover the pressing plate 27 and whose upper end is closed, is placed above and below the pressing plate 27. The compression coil spring 29 is mounted between the pressing plate 27 and the upper plate 28A of the pressing member 28, and a rubber cushioning member 30 is arranged around the compression coil spring 29.

Here, the height of the cushioning member 30 is set lower than the length of the compression coil spring 29, and the cord body 1 is set.
When 9 is pulled, the pressing plate 27 moves up, the pressing member 28 moves up by the compression coil spring 29, and the pressing member 28 comes into contact with the ceiling surface A or the upper surface of the ceiling rail 2, and then When the pressing plate 27 rises, the compression coil spring 29
While pressing, the pressing member 28 is elastically pressed against the ceiling surface A or the ceiling rail 2, and after the cushioning member 30 finally contacts the upper surface plate 28A of the pressing member 28, the cushioning member 30 is also elastically pressed. . Before and after the cushioning member 30 contacts the upper surface plate 28A of the pressing member 28, there is a large difference in the rotational driving force for rotating the operation screw shaft 13. Therefore, it is felt by hand that the rotational driving force has changed. It is possible to recognize the elastic pressure contact state by the upper pressure contact means 10.

It is also possible to form a rack on the drive plate 24 and the driven plate 25 instead of the chains 24A and 25A, and to use a pinion instead of the sprocket 26. Furthermore, it is possible to employ a mechanism that linearly reverses various transmission forces that convert downward movement into upward movement.

Further, the left and right upper press-contact means 10, 10 are configured by using the elongated pressing member 28 by forming the pressing member 28 as an elongated member provided along the upper horizontal frame 5. It is also possible to use two common upper pressure contact means.

Next, the lower pressure contact means 11 will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 and 7. The lower end of the cord body 19 is located in the lower horizontal frame 6 which is opened downward, and the interlocking rod 31 is disposed so as to be movable along the horizontal frame 6, and the longitudinal direction of the interlocking rod 31. The central portion of the pushing rod 32 is pivotally attached to a plurality of points of the pushing rod 32 by a pivot 33, and the upper end of the pushing rod 32 is tilted toward the end side of the cord 19 so that its upper end is laterally inclined. The frame 6 is pivotally mounted in the frame 6 while the pair of front and back ground plates 35, 35 sandwiching an intermediate member 36 having a U-shaped cross section opened upward is fixed to the lower part of the horizontal frame 6 to be vertically attached. The lower end of the pressing rod 32 is movably arranged and is in contact with the upper surface of a rubber cushion member 37 fixed on the bottom plate 36A of the intermediate member 36. Then, by operating the operation portion 9 to rotate the operation screw shaft 13 in one direction, the cord body 19 is pulled and raised, whereby the interlocking rod 31 moves, and the pressing rod 32 moves. The lower part rotates downward, the buffer member 37 is pressed downward, and the ground plates 35, 35 are pressed through the buffer member 37.
Is elastically pressed against the floor surface B.

Finally, referring to FIG. 8, the engaging means 12
Will be explained. The rod 22 is arranged so as to be vertically movable in the vertical frame 4, and a rack 38 is provided in the vertical frame 4 so as to face the upper end of the rod 22 and the side end of the partition panel 1. A base of a latch 39 is provided near the rack 38 so as to be pivotable up and down by a pivot 40, and the tip of the latch 39 having a downward hook 39A has an opening 4 on the side end surface of the vertical frame 4.
It is possible to rotate and project from 1. A gear portion 39B that meshes with the rack 38 is formed above the base end edge of the latch 39, and a linear portion 39C that does not mesh with the rack 38 is formed below. Also, the rod 2
2 and the latch 3 is provided below the base end of the latch 39.
An engagement holding pin 42 forcibly stopping the base end of 9 and an engagement release pin 43 forcibly pushing down the base end of the latch 39 are provided above.

Before connecting the partition panel 1 to the existing partition panel C, the rod 22 is at the lower position, and the base end portion of the latch 39 is pushed down by the engagement releasing pin 43, so that the gear The portion 39B is not meshed with the rack 38, and the downward hook 39A is in the raised position. Then, when the partition panel 1 is arranged at a predetermined connection position and the operation portion 9 is operated to rotate the operation screw shaft 13 in one direction, the rod 22 is moved upward through the interlocking rod 23 to be engaged. As the release pin 43 rises, the downward hook 39A descends, and eventually the gear portion 39B moves toward the rack 3.
8, the rack 38 rotates about the pivot 40 as the rod 22 moves upward, and the downward hook 39A moves.
Locking pin 44 provided in the vertical frame 3 of the existing partition panel C
At the same time, the gear portion 39B is separated from the rack 38, and the linear portion 39C faces the rack 38. Finally, the engagement holding pin 42 restricts the downward movement of the base end portion of the latch 39, and the engagement state between the downward hook 39A and the locking pin 44 is reliably held.
If the gear 39B immediately meshes with the rack 38 when the downward hook 39A suddenly rises in the direction in which it disengages from the locking pin 44, the engagement holding pin 42
Is not always necessary.

When the operation screw shaft 13 is rotated in the reverse direction, the rod 22 descends, and immediately the engagement release pin 43 pushes down the base end portion of the latch 39 to engage the downward hook 39A and the engagement pin 44. Is released, and then the gear 39B
Engages with the rack 38, and the downward hook 39A is rotationally stored in the opening 41 as the rod 22 descends. That is, the engaging means 12 of the present embodiment is configured so that the interlocking rod 23 causes the rod 22 to move with respect to the moving amount of the operating member 14.
Since the deceleration means for reducing the amount of vertical movement of the rack and the meshing relationship between the gear portion 39B and the rack 38 are adjusted, the existing partition panel after the vertical pressing means 10 and 11 press-contact the ceiling surface A and the floor surface B. The differential mechanism is formed by engaging with C and releasing the engagement before depressurizing the vertical pressing means 10, 11 by the engagement releasing pin 43 or the like.

The upper and lower pressure contact means 1 are provided with a clutch mechanism or the like having the same function as the differential mechanism of the engaging means 12.
It is possible to prevent the operation of the engaging means 12 from interlocking with 0 and 11 in direct proportion.
