  Then, after the partition panel 11 and the wall-side partition panel 11E are connected by the connection fitting 30, the closing member 43 is inserted into the gap between the wall-side partition panel 11E and the wall. The closing member 43 has a width larger than the gap ΔW between the wall partition panel 11E and the wall and has elasticity, and is interposed between the wall partition panel 11E and the wall in a compressed state. By trying to expand, the gap is tightly closed. Finally, the baseboard fixing members 19, 19... Are attached to the lower part of the partition panel 11 and the wall-side partition panel 11 E to fix the baseboard 14.

  According to the above-described standing and connecting method of the wall partition panel 11E, the gap ΔW between the wall partition panel 11E and the wall can be made smaller without complicating the structure of the panel itself. Thereby, the accommodation of the partition wall which connects and comprises the some partition panel 11 can be improved. Further, since the standing and connecting method of the partition wall panel 11E does not require a special technique and is a simple work, it is difficult for anyone to make a difference in the finish.
