Description

[0001]
【Technical field】
The present invention relates to a simple partition capable of partitioning a room easily and freely by being connected to each other.
[0002]
[Background]
Examples of movable simple partitions that can freely divide a room such as an office or a reception room are shown in FIGS. 24 and 25, for example. As shown in the figure, the simplified partition 50 has a frame 52 having an outer peripheral surface curved in an arc shape at the left and right ends of the main body panel 51, and the surface of the one frame 52 has a loop surface. One fastener element 53a of the hook-and-loop fastener 53 formed in the shape is attached, and the other fastener element 53b of the hook-and-loop fastener 53 whose surface is formed in a hook shape is attached to the outer peripheral surface of the other frame 52. It is stuck.
[0003]
As described above, the simple partition 50 configured as described above is attached to the outer peripheral surface of the frame 52 in which the fastener elements 53a and 53b constituting the surface fastener 53 protrude in an arc shape. As shown in FIG. 4, the fastener elements 53a and 53b of the hook and loop fastener 53 attached to the left and right frames 52 can be engaged with each other freely at any angle.
[0004]
However, since the hook-and-loop fastener 53 is attached to the outer peripheral surface of the arc-shaped curved frame 52, one fastener element 53a and the other fastener element 53b are in line contact with each other when engaged with each other. Therefore, there is a problem that the joining force is weak and the connected simple partitions 50 are easily detached.
[0005]
In order to improve the weakness of the bonding force, the fastener elements 53a and 53b are brought into surface contact with each other by forming the outer peripheral surface of the frame 52 in a square shape like the simple partition 50a shown in FIG. However, if such a configuration is adopted, conversely, the adjacent simple partitions 50a cannot be connected to each other at an arbitrary angle, which makes it difficult to freely partition the room.
[0006]
Moreover, in the simple partitions 50 and 50a using such a hook-and-loop fastener 53 as a connecting means, one fastener element 53b whose surface is formed in a hook shape may be exposed at one side portion that is not connected. In such a case, there is also a problem that clothes etc. are caught on the fastener element 53b by contacting the fastener element 53b whose surface is formed in a hook shape, and in the worst case, the clothes are damaged.
[0007]
Further, since the simple partitions 50 and 50a connected by the hook-and-loop fastener 53 cannot change the connection angle, when the connection angle is changed, the engagement between the fastener elements 53a and 53b is once released, and the predetermined partition 50, 50a is released. The troublesome work of reconnecting at an angle has to be done.
[0008]
Therefore, the present invention can ensure a sufficient bonding force, and can be connected at an arbitrary angle without damaging clothes, and the angle can be freely changed in the connected state. It aims to provide a simple partition that can be used.
[0009]
DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION
In order to achieve the above object, the invention according to claim 1 is characterized in that a bag-like body cover formed of a knitted fabric having good stretchability is attached to a frame and a tape-like base fabric. A slide fastener including a pair of fastener elements to which the elements are attached and a slider that meshes the elements of both of the fastener elements with each other, and includes the one fastener element having the slider and the slider The present invention provides a simple partition characterized in that both of the other fastener elements that are not present are respectively attached to the main body cover at both end portions of the main body.
[0010]
As described above, this simple partition is intended to be connected because one fastener element provided with a slider and the other fastener element not provided with a slider are respectively attached to both end portions of the main body. The fastener element having a slider in one simple partition and the fastener element not having a slider in the other simple partition can be easily and reliably connected by simply engaging the elements by sliding the slider. it can.
[0011]
Also, since slide fasteners are used as connecting means, they do not come off once connected, and clothes may get caught or damaged like conventional simple partitions that use hook-and-loop fasteners as connecting means. There is no fear.
[0012]
Further, since the slide fastener is used as the connecting means, the connecting angle is not limited between the simple partitions to be connected, and the connecting angle can be freely changed in the connected state. Therefore, unlike the conventional simple partition connected by the hook-and-loop fastener, it is possible to open and close one of the connected simple partitions like a door.
[0013]
Further, since both of the other fastener element having no one fastener element and the slider having a slider is mounted on each side end of the body portion, rather than simply interconnecting two simple partition It becomes possible to connect a plurality of simple partitions to one side end of one simple partition, and the effect of widening the variation of partitioning the room is obtained.
[0014]
In addition, the main body portion includes a frame and a bag-shaped main body cover to be attached to the frame, and a fastener element is attached to the main body cover. The element can be easily attached, and when the cover member becomes dirty, the effect that it can be easily washed is obtained.
[0015]
Moreover, like the simple partition of the invention concerning Claim 2, the said elements are meshed between the said fastener elements by sliding the said slider from the bottom to the top, and the said slider is slid from the top to the bottom. Therefore, even if the heights of the adjacent simple partitions are different from each other, the elements can be reliably connected without any trouble.
[0016]
Further, as in the case of the simple partition according to the invention according to claim 3, the cover member that covers the fastener elements respectively attached to both end portions of the main body portion is detachably mounted. Since the fastener elements attached to the side end portions that are not connected can be concealed by the cover member, the effect that the appearance is not impaired by the slide fastener that is not used can be obtained.
[0017]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings in order to describe the present invention in more detail. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, the simple partition 1 is attached to a main body 2 composed of a frame 10 and a main body cover 20 attached to the frame 10, and both end portions of the main body 2. And connecting means 3.
[0018]
As shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, the frame 10 includes a pair of left and right vertical frames 11 formed of resin-coated pipes, and an aluminum extrusion that connects the vertical frames 11 at the upper end and the lower end, respectively. And two horizontal frames 12 formed of a material. Each horizontal frame 12 has a fixing screw 13 inserted in a through hole 11a formed in the vertical frame 11 and screw holes formed on both end surfaces. It is configured to be connected to the vertical frame 11 by being screwed into 12a and tightened.
[0019]
In addition, a resin cap 14 is fitted to the upper end portion of the vertical frame 11 formed by the resin coating pipe, and an adjuster 15 for adjusting the height is attached to the lower end portion thereof. The horizontal frame 12 is formed with shallow grooves 12b and deep grooves 12c extending in the longitudinal direction on the upper end surface and the lower end surface thereof.
[0020]
The main body cover 20 is sewn in a bag shape using a knitted fabric with good stretchability, and the lower end opening serving as a mounting opening has a width direction as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7. A pair of locking plates 21 formed of polypropylene is attached so as to rise upward from the lower end edge over substantially the entire length.
[0021]
Accordingly, when the main body cover 20 is attached to the frame 10, as shown in FIG. 12, the pair of locking plates 21 are placed on the lower horizontal frame of the frame 10 while pulling the knitted fabric having good stretchability downward. When inserted into the 12 deep grooves 12 c, the main body cover 20 is mounted in close contact with the frame 10, and the main body cover 20 is prevented from sliding up with respect to the frame 10.
[0022]
As shown in FIGS. 6, 8 and 9, the connecting means 3 includes a pair of fastener elements 31 in which a number of elements 31 b are mounted on a tape-like base cloth 31 a, and both fastener elements 31. It is formed by a slide fastener comprising a slider 32 that meshes the elements 31b with each other, and both the one fastener element 31 provided with the slider 32 and the other fastener element 31 not provided with the slider have its base fabric 31a. This part is sewn to both end portions of the main body cover 20.
[0023]
One fastener element 31 provided with the slider 32 and the other fastener element 31 not provided with the slider are arranged in a state where the one side end portion and the other side end portion of the main body portion 2 are mutually inverted. Both the elements 31b are engaged with each other between the fastener elements 31 by sliding the element 32 from the lower side to the upper side, and the elements 31b are released by sliding the slider 32 from the upper side to the lower side. The fastener element 31 is attached to the main body 2.
[0024]
Therefore, the element 31b of one fastener element 31 provided with the slider 32 attached to one side end of one simple partition 1 to be connected, and the slider attached to the other end of the other simple partition 1 For example, as shown in FIGS. 13 and 14, one or a plurality of simple partitions 1 can be formed by simply engaging the element 31b of the other fastener element 31 not provided with the slider 31 by sliding the slider 32. Can be easily connected.
[0025]
As shown in FIG. 15, the simple partition 1 has coupling means 3 attached to both end portions of the body cover 20, that is, a fastener element 31 having a slider 32 and a fastener element 31 having no slider. The cover member 40 for concealing is attached detachably.
[0026]
As shown in FIGS. 15 and 16, the cover member 40 includes a cylindrical end cover 41 and an end cap 42 fitted to the upper end portion of the end cover 41. A slit 41a is formed on the flat side surface inside 41 so that the base fabric 31a portion of the fastener element 31 can be inserted.
[0027]
Accordingly, the end cover 41 having the end cap 42 fitted to the upper end thereof is inserted into the slit 41a from the upper end of the fastener elements 31, 31 so that the element 31b portion is inserted into the end cover 41. When inserted, as shown in FIGS. 17 and 18, the upper ends of the fastener elements 31, 31 abut against the end cap 42, and the fastener elements 31, 31 and the slider 32 are mounted in a substantially concealed state.
[0028]
The simple partition 1 configured as described above is simply connected in series as shown in FIG. 19, or connected in a cross shape or T shape as shown in FIGS. 20 and 21. As shown in FIG. 22, the room can be freely partitioned by connecting them radially.
[0029]
In addition, even when this simple partition 1 is used alone or when a plurality of simple partitions 1 are connected, sufficient self-supporting stability may not be ensured depending on the use mode. Therefore, in such a case, for example, as shown in FIGS. 19 to 21, the leg base 16 may be appropriately attached to the vertical frame 11 via an adjuster 15 as necessary.
[0030]
As mentioned above, since this simple partition 1 forms the connection means 3 attached to the both ends of the main body part 2 by the slide fastener, while being able to connect the some simple partition 1 easily and reliably, Once connected, it does not come off, and there is no possibility of clothes getting caught or damaged like a conventional simple partition using a hook-and-loop fastener as connecting means.
[0031]
Moreover, since the slide fastener is used as the connection means 3, the connection angle is not restricted between the simple partitions 1 to be connected, and the connection angle can be freely changed in the connected state. it can.
[0032]
Therefore, unlike a conventional simple partition connected by a hook-and-loop fastener, for example, as shown in FIG. 23, a rectangular closed space is formed by sequentially bending four connected simple partitions 1 at the connecting portion. It is also possible to open and close one simple partition 1 on one end side as a door. When the simple partition 1 is used as a door as described above, an adjustment function (height adjustment function) is required instead of the adjuster 15 on the front end side of the simple partition 1 used as a door, which must be moved on the floor. It is desirable to attach a caster equipped with
[0033]
Moreover, since this simple partition 1 has attached both the fastener element 31 provided with the slider 32 and the fastener element 31 which is not provided with the slider to the both ends of the main body part 2, respectively, as shown in FIG. Not only simply connecting a plurality of simple partitions 1 in series, but also connecting a plurality of simple partitions 1 to one side end of one simple partition 1 as shown in FIGS. It becomes possible and the effect that the variation which divides a room spreads is acquired.
[0034]
Further, the simple partition 1 is configured such that the elements 32b are engaged with each other between the fastener elements 31 by sliding the slider 32 from the bottom to the top, and the elements 31b are slid by sliding the slider 32 from the top to the bottom. Since the meshing is released, the lower end portions of both fastener elements 31 always match even when the heights of the adjacent simple partitions 1 are different, that is, when the overall lengths of the fastener elements 31 are different from each other. Therefore, it can connect reliably without trouble.
[0035]
Further, as described above, since the cover members 40 covering the fastener elements 31 respectively attached to the both end portions of the main body 2 are detachably mounted on the simple partition 1, it is used for connection. If the fastener element 31 that is not used is concealed by the cover member 40, the appearance of the simple partition 1 is not impaired by the presence of the fastener element 31 that is not used for connection.
[0036]
The simplified partition 1 includes a main body 2 constituted by a frame 10 and a bag-like main body cover 20 attached to the frame 10, and a fastener element 31 as a connecting means 3 is attached to the main body cover 20. Therefore, the entire simple partition 1 is reduced in weight, the fastener element 31 can be easily attached, and when the main body cover 20 becomes dirty, it can be removed from the frame 10 and easily washed. .
[0037]

However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the upper horizontal frame 12 is paired with a pair. Similarly to the vertical frame 11, it can be formed by a resin-coated pipe.
[0038]
Further, in the above-described embodiment, the inside of the frame 10 in the main body 2 is a complete space, but the upper and lower ends are provided in the deep groove 12c of the upper horizontal frame 12 and the shallow groove 12c of the lower horizontal frame 12. It is also possible to attach a plate material such as a resin panel or cardboard to the frame 10 so as to be inserted.
[0039]
Further, in the above-described embodiment, both the one fastener element 31 provided with the slider 32 and the other fastener element 31 not provided with the slider are respectively attached to both end portions of the main body 2. It is not limited, and if a plurality of simple partitions are connected in series, one fastener element having a slider is provided at one end of the main body, and a slider is provided at the other end of the main body. The other fastener elements that are not present may be attached, and three or more fastener elements may be attached to one end and the other end of the main body.
[0040]
In the above-described embodiment, one fastener element 31 provided with the slider 32 and the other fastener element 31 not provided with the slider are reversed to each other at the one end and the other end in the main body 2. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and in particular, when the same design is applied to both the front and back surfaces of the main body cover 20, one end and the other end of the main body 2 Thus, it is not necessary to reverse the arrangement of the fastener elements 31 with each other.
[0041]
Moreover, in embodiment mentioned above, the mutual elements 31b are meshed between the fastener elements 31, by sliding the slider 32 from the bottom to be able to connect the simple partitions having different heights, Both fastener elements 31 are attached to the main body 2 so as to release the engagement between the elements 31b by sliding the slider 32 from top to bottom, but when connecting the simple partition 1 of the same height. Needless to say, the fastener element 31 may be mounted upside down.
[0042]
In the above-described embodiment, the main body 2 is formed by the frame 10 and the bag-shaped main body cover 20 attached to the frame 10. However, the present invention is not limited to this. It is also possible to attach connecting means formed by slide fasteners at both ends.
