Description

  The present invention relates to a partition device, especially a low partition device, used for partitioning a space into a plurality of office spaces such as offices and configuring workstations.

  As a low partition device, the upper and lower end portions of the left and right side frame ridges are connected to each other by an upper frame ridge and a lower frame ridge, respectively, and a concave groove formed on the inner surface is used. And what attached the flat panel is well-known (for example, patent document 1).

  However, the one described in Patent Document 1 has a simple structure and can form a low partition device at a low cost, but has a problem in that the degree of freedom of the panel configuration is limited because it has a single panel. is there.

  In addition, a plurality of upper and lower end portions of the side frame rods that are spaced apart from each other on the left and right sides are connected to each other by an upper frame rod and a lower frame rod to form a rectangular shape. Some are constructed by attaching a single panel (for example, Patent Documents 2 and 3).

  Those proposed in Patent Documents 2 and 3 have advantages in that the degree of freedom in selecting the material and color scheme of the panel is improved, and it is possible to easily cope with changes in specifications. On the other hand, however, there is a problem in that the manufacturing cost increases because the frame and the plurality of panels must be individually manufactured.

In addition, in the low partition, by using a light-transmitting material such as glass or acrylic for the panel, it is possible to obtain natural light without compromising the feeling of opening while partitioning. However, since the entire surface of the low partition is composed of one panel, there is a restriction on the configuration of the translucent panel.
