【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、主として、室内の仕切りに用いる間仕切りパネルとして使用するパーティションの組立に際して、その連結箇所を被覆する連結部化粧カバー装置に関するものである。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
従来から、パーティションの連結部の外観を整え隙間を塞ぐために、そのパーティションの組立の際、該連結部を化粧カバーによって被覆することが一般に行われている。例えば、特開平９−１４４１６８号公報には、連結部材及び化粧カバーを用いて、隣接パーティション相互を直線的に、あるいは、Ｔ字形に連結する場合と、Ｌ字形に曲げて連結する場合について示されている。
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
【０００３】
ところが、上記従来の技術では、連結部材の露出箇所を覆う化粧カバーを、その上記連結態様に適応するように、複数通り、用意しなければならなかった。しかも、連結部材も、この化粧カバーに対応するように、複数通り、用意しなければならないので、可成りの品揃えをしなければならず、特に、オフィスのレイアウトの変更に応じるために、連結方向を変更する場合、欠品を生じないような部品管理が必要であった。
本発明は、上記事情に基づいてなされたもので、その第１の目的とするところは、パーティションの組立に際して、その連結状態の態様に拘わらず、共通の連結部材について、単一の化粧カバーを用いて、連結部材の露出箇所を覆うことができ、部品管理を容易にした連結部化粧カバー装置を提供することにある。
【０００４】
また、本発明の第２の目的とするところは、複数の化粧カバーを連接して、連結部材の露出箇所を覆う場合に、化粧カバー相互を接合でき、その連結箇所に隙間が生じないように工夫して、パーティションの外観を損なわないようにした連結部化粧カバーを提供するにある。
【０００５】
【課題を解決するための手段】
このため、請求項１の発明では、図示の実施例でも明らかにしたように、側縁を隣接するパーティション１、１を、連結部材２を介して、互いに連結する際に、外部に表出する前記連結部材２の箇所を上下方向に略全通して覆う化粧カバー３を有するパーティションの連結部化粧カバー装置において、前記化粧カバー３は、その化粧カバー本体３ａが前記パーティション１の高さに略相当する長さを有する帯状片であり、その両側縁に、前記連結部材２側に向けて、内側に傾斜した接合縁部３ｂ，３ｂを設け、その接合縁部３ｂの一方の先端部に上下方向に連続する形状の略円柱若しくは略円筒形状の嵌合部３ｃを形成し、接合縁部３ｂの他方の先端部に前記嵌合部３ｃと外嵌可能の上下方向に連続する形状の嵌合溝３ｄ部を形成していることを特徴としている。
【０００６】
また、請求項２の発明では、側縁を隣接するパーティション１、１を、連結部材２を介して、互いに角度をなして連結する際に、外部に表出する前記連結部材２の箇所を上下方向に略全通して覆う一対の化粧カバー３、３を有するパーティションの連結部化粧カバー装置において、前記連結部材２は、その内面を前記隣接するパーティション１、１の側端面に結合し、外面を外部に表出する角形ブロック状の部材である。また、前記連結部材２外面の隣接する二面に取り付けられて上下方向に略全通して覆う一対の化粧カバー３、３を有し、その各化粧カバー本体３ａは、前記パーティション１の高さに略相当する長さを有する帯状片であり、その両側縁に、前記連結部材２側に向けて、内側に傾斜した接合縁部３ｂ，３ｂを設け、その接合縁部３ｂの一方の先端部に上下方向に連続する形状の嵌合部３ｃを形成し、接合縁部３ｂの他方の先端部に前記嵌合部３ｃと外嵌可能の上下方向に連続する形状の嵌合溝３ｄ部を形成する。そして、隣接する一方の化粧カバー３の嵌合部３ｃが他方の化粧カバー３の嵌合溝３ｄに嵌合していることを特徴としている。さらに、前記隣接する一方及び他方の化粧カバーの接合縁部３ｂ，３ｂの対向傾斜面どうしが互いに略平行に略接していることが望ましい。
【０００７】
上記請求項１及び２の発明では、その一つの実施形態として、化粧カバー３は、その互いに接する接合縁部３ｂ，３ｂの傾斜角度が内向き略４５度であり、一方の接合縁部３ｂ先端の嵌合部３ｃが円形断面を持ち、他方の接合縁部３ｂ先端の嵌合溝３ｄ部が、嵌合部３ｃの円形断面の直径より小さい幅の上下方向スリット状の嵌合口３ｅを持つと共に嵌合部３ｃを嵌入する円弧状の断面を有する構造になっている。また、化粧カバー３は、その化粧カバー本体３ａ、嵌合部３ｃ及び嵌合溝３ｄ部が長手方向に連続する合成樹脂の一体成形体であることが、生産性の上で好ましい。
【０００８】
このような構成では、パーティションの組立の際、共通の連結部材２を介して、隣接パーティション相互を直線的に、あるいは、Ｔ字形に連結する場合と、Ｌ字形に曲げて連結する場合とにおいて、単一の化粧カバー３を単独で、あるいは、組み合わせて、連結部材に装着できるので、従来のように、多数の部品を品揃えする必要がなく、部品管理が容易であり、その汎用性が十分に発揮できる。また、隣接するパーティション１、１を角度をもって（例えば９０度の角度で）連結するために、一対の化粧カバー３、３を角度をもって（例えば９０度の角度で）連接して使用する場合に、嵌合部３ｃ及び嵌合溝３ｄ部を介して、化粧カバー３、３相互が連結される。しかも、この連結状態において、互いに隣接する一方及び他方の化粧カバーの接合縁部３ｂ，３ｂの対向傾斜面どうしが互いに略平行に接しているので、隙間を生じることなく、パーティションの連結コーナー部の遮蔽性や外観性を損なうことがない。
【０００９】
【発明の実施の形態】
次に、添付の図を参照して本発明の実施の形態を説明する。図の実施の形態において、パーティション１、１の連結部の化粧カバー３は、図１に示すような断面形状のもので、パーティション１、１の組立に際して、連結部材２の外面に取付け装着される。この化粧カバー３は、側縁を隣接するパーティション１、１を、連結部材２を介して、互いに連結する際に、外部に表出する連結部材２の外面を覆うものであり、基本的には、その化粧カバー本体３ａが、パーティション１の高さに略相当する長さおよび連結部材２の表出外面を略覆う幅を有する帯状片であり、その両側縁に、連結部材２側に向けて、内側に傾斜した接合縁部３ｂ、３ｂを設け、その接合縁部３ｂ、３ｂの先端部に、互いに嵌合可能の形状の嵌合部３ｃ及び嵌合溝３ｄ部を形成している。また、化粧カバー本体３ａ内面の接合縁部３ｂ、３ｂの突出基部には、嵌合部３ｃ及び嵌合溝３ｄの嵌合を容易とするための凹溝３ｆが上下方向に全通して形成されている。この化粧カバー３は、その中央部の化粧カバー本体３ａを肉厚形状、すなわち背面略広幅凸状の肉厚形状として、パーティション１の高さに略相当する長さを有しながらも十分な強度を有し、左右凹溝３ｆ、３ｆ及びこれの外側に連続する左右接合縁部３ｂ、３ｂはより肉薄にして、上記中央部の化粧カバー本体３ａに比較し撓み易く形成している。
【００１０】
この実施の形態において、一対の化粧カバー３、３が、互いに隣接して、連結部材２の異なる向きの表出外面を覆う際に、互いの嵌合部３ｃ及び嵌合溝３ｄを嵌合するように、且つ互いに隣接面が平行に密着接合するように、各化粧カバー３、３における接合縁部３ｂ、３ｂの傾斜角度およびその嵌合部３ｃ及び嵌合溝３ｄ部の形状を設定している。
【００１１】
これを更に具体的に述べれば、その一つの実施形態として、化粧カバー３は、その接合縁部３ｂ、３ｂの内向き傾斜角度が略４５度であり、一方の接合縁部３ｂ先端の嵌合部３ｃの外面が円形断面を持ち、他方の接合縁部３ｂの嵌合溝３ｄ部が、嵌合部３ｃの円形断面の直径より小さい幅の嵌合口３ｅを持つと共に嵌合部３ｃを嵌入する円弧状の断面を有する嵌合部を構成している。嵌合部３ｃと嵌合溝３ｄ部とは、長手方向に挿入して嵌入させても、嵌合口３ｅを弾性的に押し広げるようにして嵌合させるようにしてもよい。さらに、化粧カバー３は、その化粧カバー本体３ａ、嵌合部３ｃ及び嵌合溝３ｄ部が長手方向に連続する、弾性を有する硬質合成樹脂の一体成形体である。嵌合部３ｃ及び嵌合溝３ｄ部は、上下方向に断続する形状とすることもできる。
【００１２】
また、連結部材２は、角形、詳しくは隣接する取付面２ａが互いに直角となる四角い短ブロック形状のもので、各パーティション１の両側縁の縦フレーム１ａに、上下に間隔をおいて、複数個の連結部材２が連結ボルトなどよりなる結合具４によって、結合固定される。連結部材２の各面には、結合具４先端の挿入固定用の結合孔２ｃが形成されている。また、この結合に際しては、間隔調整のために、所望厚さのスペーサ５が縦フレーム１ａと連結部材２の取付面２ａとの間に介装される。
【００１３】
このような構成では、図２乃至図４に示すように、パーティション１の組立の際、共通の連結部材２を介して、隣接パーティション相互を角度を付けて、例えばＬ字形に曲げて連結する場合、先ず、接合される二つの化粧カバー３、３は、その互いの嵌合部３ｃ及び嵌合溝３ｄ部を挿入又は弾性的に嵌合する。その上で、これら化粧カバー３、３の本体裏面を連結部材２の表出外面に装着するのである。この化粧カバー３、３の頂部には、コーナートップキャップ８が嵌着されている。
【００１４】
また、図５および図６に示すように、パーティション１の組立の際、共通の連結部材２を介して、隣接パーティション相互をＴ字形に連結する場合（あるいは、直線的に連結する場合）、各化粧カバー３は単独で、その化粧カバー本体３ａの裏面を連結部材２の表出外面に装着するのである。
【００１５】
この場合の装着手段としては、両面接着テープ等を用いた接着剤による接着の他、図６の（ａ）に示すように、化粧カバー本体３ａに形成した割り込みホックよりなる固定突起６ａを、連結部材２に設けた嵌め込み溝穴（これは、パーティション１に連結部材２を結合するための結合具４の結合孔２ｃを利用してもよい）に弾性的に嵌合させる構造、図６の（ｂ）に示すように、化粧カバー本体３から突出させたＴ字形のフックよりなる固定突起６ｂを連結部材２の頂部に設けた蟻溝穴よりなる溝穴７に嵌合させる構造、図６の（ｃ）に示すように、化粧カバー本体３ａの内側左右に形成した鉤形の一対のフック６ｃを連結部材２の取付面２ａの両側の突出側縁２ｂに嵌合させる構造などが採用できる。
【００１６】
【発明の効果】
本発明は、以上詳述したようになり、隣接するパーティションを、直線的に、また、９０度等の角度を設けて連結する場合でも、化粧カバーの共通化を図ることができ、かつ、連結部材をも共通化でき、部品管理を容易にすることができる。
【００１７】
また、連結角度に応じて複数の化粧カバーを用いる場合でも、各化粧カバーの嵌合部を嵌合溝部に嵌合して連結することにより、化粧カバー間に隙間を生じることがなく整合させて外観を向上できる。さらに、先端に嵌合部又は嵌合溝部を有する接合縁部の対向外面どうしを平行に接合させることにより、化粧カバー間に隙間ができることがなく、パーティションの連結部における遮蔽性と外観性を一層向上させることができる。
