Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Field of Application The present invention relates to a partitioning support, particularly a partitioning support that is devised so that the installation angle of the panel can be arbitrarily selected and assembled, and a partitioning support that uses the same. The present invention relates to a partition support device.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION A partitioning device for easily partitioning office floors, etc. has been developed.

Generally speaking, this can be completed as a partition by arranging pillars on the floor at appropriate intervals and connecting the pillars via panels.

The pillars used in partitioning devices of this type are usually hollow square pillars, and the panels are connected to the pillars in a direction perpendicular to each side of the peripheral wall forming the square pillar. You can go there. That is, by forming vertical slits on each side of the peripheral wall of the support, and hooking hooks protruding from the vertical frame of the panel to these slits, the panel can be connected to the support. . Conversely, it is also possible to provide hooks protruding from each side of the support column and to engage and connect the hooks with slits provided in the panel.

Problem to be Solved by the Invention The problem to be solved by the invention is that since the pillars of the conventional swords are square prisms, the relative horizontal angle of the panels connected to one pillar is 90 degrees or 180 degrees. Since the mounting angle is limited to one of the two, and it is not possible to realize other mounting angles, a problem arises in that it is not possible to appropriately meet the various needs required for a partition.

Therefore, in view of the actual state of the prior art, an object of the present invention is to form locking protrusions at equal intervals in the generatrix direction of a cylindrical peripheral wall, and to form locking protrusions on any two of these locking protrusions. By connecting the panels through the mounting members, it is possible to realize many angles other than 90 degrees and 180 degrees as the mounting angle of the panels connected to one support. Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide a new partitioning support and a new support support device that can easily meet various needs.

Means for Solving the Problems The gist of the present invention to achieve the object is that a plurality of locking protrusions are formed at equal intervals in the generatrix direction of the cylindrical peripheral wall. Further, a part of the peripheral wall may be formed with a pedestal having a hooking means for connecting the panels, and further comprising a threaded rod and a base bracket screwed into the lower end of the threaded rod. The base bracket has a member installed therein, and the protrusion dimension from the lower end of the base bracket can be adjusted by rotating a threaded rod.

Further, another structure of the invention according to this application is a combination of the above-mentioned strut, a mounting member, a connecting fitting, and a bottom fitting, and the mounting member is an intermediate member having a hooking means for connecting the panels. A locking part that elastically engages with the two locking protrusions is provided on both side edges of the connecting fitting. The bottom metal fitting has a disc portion with a diameter approximately the same as the maximum diameter of the support, and is fixed to the lower end of the support. The gist is that the mounting member is prevented from falling.

Therefore, when using this configuration, the mounting member can be attached to any two of the plurality of locking protrusions on the peripheral wall of the support column by engaging with them. teeth,
It is firmly connected to the support column via the connecting fitting, and can be prevented from falling downward by the bottom fitting. On the other hand, since the panel can be connected to the support column via the locking means formed in the middle part of the mounting member, the panel can eventually be connected to the support depending on the position of the locking protrusion that engages the mounting member. It can also be connected around a support at an angle other than 90 degrees or 180 degrees.

Furthermore, if a pedestal having a hooking means for connecting the panels is formed on a part of the peripheral wall of the support, the panels can be connected in the direction of the pedestal without using the attachment part (A). This makes it extremely convenient for work.Roughly speaking, when installing the adjustment member internally, the protrusion dimension of the base bracket from the bottom end can be adjusted by rotating the threaded rod from the tip of the threaded rod near the top end of the column. The height can be adjusted from the upper end of the column, so
You can easily adjust the panel level.

It works as described above.

The entire length of the mounting member 31 is equal to the total length of the support main body 11, and its cross-sectional shape is the same as the pedestal '11 of the support main body 11.
This is a medium-recessed profile formed in almost the same shape as G (Fig. 6). That is, locking portions 31c and 31G are extended to both side edges of an intermediate portion 31b having slits 31a, 31a, . . . for latching hooks P3, P3, .
A protrusion 31d is formed on the tip edge of each locking portion 31G to elastically engage with the two locking protrusions 11b and 1'lb of the column main body 11. A notch 31e having the same shape as the notch 11e of the support main body 11 is formed at the upper end of the intermediate portion 31b, and a long hole 31f is provided at the lower end thereof. Furthermore, slits 31C], 31g, . . . for attaching a hanging shelf or the like are provided on both sides ((B) of the same figure).

The protrusions 31d, 31d of the mounting member 31 are attached to the support main body 11.
It is possible to engage from the outside of the two locking protrusions 11b, 11b... with one in the middle (Fig. 3), and at the same time, the two in the middle can be engaged with the locking protrusions 11b, 11b... The overall cross-sectional shape is determined so that it can also be engaged with the inside of a book (Fig. 10).

Two types of connecting fittings 32 and 33 are used to firmly connect and fix the mounting member 31 to the column 10 (FIGS. 1 and 7). Note that the first connecting fitting 32 is also used when directly connecting the panel P to the pedestal 11C of the support main body 11.

The first connecting fitting 32 has engaging portions 32b and 32G formed at both ends of a band-like portion 32a having a width that fits into each notch 11e and 31e formed in the support main body 11 and the mounting member 31. ), a groove 32d capable of engaging with one of the locking protrusions 11b of the strut body 11, and two locking protrusions 11b, 11b are provided at the tips of both the engaging portions 32b, 32C, respectively. It is a plate-like member formed with a dope tail 32e that can be engaged between the dope tails 32e and 32e. Each engaging portion 32b, 32c has an adjusting member 20.
Round holes 32f, 32f through which the threaded rod 21 can be inserted are bored, and elongated holes 32CI, 32Ω...
・We have established.

The second connecting fitting 33 is formed by bending the plate material in two stages in opposite directions, so that horizontal pieces 33b and 3 are attached to both ends of the vertical part 33a.
3C (Fig. 9), and the vertical part 33a is
Two screw holes 33d, 33d are formed, and a dovetail groove 33e and a dope tail 33f, similar to those in the first connecting fitting 32, are formed in each horizontal piece 33b, 33c, respectively.

The method of using the partition support device having such a configuration is as follows.

First, one panel P is connected using the pedestal 11c of the support main body 11. That is, hook P3 of panel P
, P3... through the slits 11d, 11d of the pedestal 11C.
By being hooked to..., the spring = 11-P is attached to the support main body 1 so as to sandwich the pedestal 11C.
1 (Figure 10).

Next, a threaded rod 21 installed inside the support main body 11,
Using the lock nut 21e, the first connecting fitting 32
is screwed onto the upper end of the support main body 11. At this time, the connecting fitting 32 may be fixed using either side of the round holes 32f and 32f.

The connecting fitting 32 attached in this way is attached to the pedestal 1.
Through the notch 11e of 1c, the groove P4 on the upper side of the panel P
Since it protrudes horizontally inward, the connection between the panel P and the support main body 11 can be completed by tightening the connecting fitting 32 to the frame P1 of the panel P via the set screw T1.

Next, another panel P is connected to the support main body 11, but at this time, the mounting member 31 is used.

The mounting member 31 can be attached to any two of the support main bodies 11 depending on the mounting angle of the other panel P with respect to the previously connected panel P.
For the locking protrusions 11b and 11b of the book, the protrusions 31
It can be attached by resiliently engaging d and 31d. In addition, at this time, it is possible to sandwich the two locking protrusions 11b, 11b with the middle one locking protrusion 11b from the outside (Fig. 3). Since the protrusions 11b, 11b can be fitted inside the two locking protrusions 11b, 11b (Fig. 10), one of these can be selected depending on the mounting angle of the panel P. However, when the angle at which it should be attached is determined in this way, it should be It is assumed that the second connecting fitting 33 is attached in advance from the end of the support main body 11.Here, since the connecting fitting 33 necessarily has a groove 33e and a taupe tail 33f, it is necessary to use these. By dividing it, it can be attached to either one locking protrusion 11b or two locking protrusions 11b, 11b (FIGS. 3 and 11).

Therefore, after the mounting member 31 is engaged and attached to the two locking protrusions 11b, 11b, the setscrews T2, T
If the connecting fitting 33 and the mounting member 31 are fastened together via 2 (FIG. 7), the mounting member 31 will be firmly connected to the support main body 11, and the former will not be easily separated from the latter. do not have. At this time, the set screws T2 and T2 are inserted into the connecting fitting 3 through the elongated hole 31f at the lower end of the mounting member 31.
It is screwed into the screw holes 33d and 33d of No.3. Furthermore, the lower end of the mounting member 31 attached in this manner rests on the disk portion 25a of the bottom metal fitting 25 fixed to the lower end of the column main body 11 (FIGS. 10 and 11).
, there is no fear that the mounting member 31 will accidentally fall downward.

Next, the slit 31 in the intermediate portion 31b of the mounting member 31
hooks P3, P of panel P for a, 31a...
3... and connects the panel P to the support main body 11, from above the panel P, tighten the setscrew T1.
Screw the first connecting fitting 32 (Fig. 10).
. However, if there are two locking protrusions 11b, 11b between the two locking protrusions 11b, 11b with which the mounting member 31 engages, the connecting fitting 32 at this time has one end that is connected to these locking protrusions. so as to be able to engage with the stop protrusions 11b, 11b,
Use the dope tail 32e side toward the support main body 11,
In other cases, the opposite side is used facing the support main body 11.

After completing the connection of one panel P in this way,
Using the space on the peripheral wall 11a of the support main body 11, other panels P, P can be connected in the same manner as necessary (FIG. 11).

The level of the panel P can be adjusted by adjusting the height of the column P using the adjustment member 20, regardless of whether the panel P is connected to the column P or before or after the panel P is connected to the column P. That is, if the lock nut 21e is loosened and the threaded rod 21 is rotated through the slot 21d, the pace brackets l to 22, which are screwed to the lower end of the threaded rod 21, can be attached to the support main body 11.
Since the protruding dimension from the lower end (reference d in FIG. 7) can be adjusted, the height of the support main body 11 can be freely adjusted. At this time, threaded rod 2
The steady rest ring 23.23 fitted on the support column 1
Since the bending of the threaded rod 21 is restricted in contact with the inner surface of the threaded rod 1, the strength of the threaded rod 210 can be sufficiently reinforced.

As described above, for the panel P connected via the mounting portion (A31), the locking protrusions 11b, 11b to be engaged with the mounting member 31 are selected for the panel P connected via the pedestal 11C. By changing the manner of engagement with the locking protrusions 11b, 11b, an arbitrary mounting angle can be set.For example, as shown in the figure, the locking protrusions 1
1b, 11b... are formed every 30 degrees on the peripheral wall 11a, the mounting angle of the panels P, P can be set arbitrarily every 15 degrees within the range of 90 degrees to 270 degrees. It is possible (Figure 3, Figure 10, Figure 11)
. In addition, a panel P connected to one support main body 11
, P... can be up to 4 (11th
figure).

In addition, the locking protrusions 11b, 1'1 b... of the support main body 11
It goes without saying that * may be formed at any angle other than 30 degrees, and furthermore, the support main body 11 may omit the pedestal 11G and be connected to the entire circumference of the peripheral wall 11a. It is also possible to form stopper strips 11b, 11b, . . . .

Further, slits 11d and 1 are formed in the base 11G of the support main body 11 and the intermediate portion 31b of the mounting member 31, respectively.
1d-..., 31a, 31a... form a hook for hooking and connecting the hooks P3, P3... of the panel P, but these are not applicable to other types. It is also possible to change to. For example, slit 1
Hooks are provided protruding in place of 1d and 31a, and on the panel P side,
A slit may be formed for inserting the hook.

As described in detail, according to the present invention, the mounting member is engaged with any two of the plurality of locking protrusions formed on the cylindrical peripheral wall, and the mounting member is Since panels can be connected through In the past, it has been extremely effective in being able to respond accurately and easily to a variety of needs.

In addition, if a pedestal is formed on a part of the peripheral wall of the support, it is more convenient because the panel can be connected to this part without using a mounting member. This also has the practical effect that the level of the panels can be easily adjusted from the upper end of the support, regardless of whether the panels are connected before or after they are connected.
