Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to a device for connecting upper and lower divided portions of a front panel and a back panel paired with it, which constitute a partition wall panel (hereinafter referred to as a panel).

The panel is not a so-called ready-made unit with a front panel and a back panel, such as a door body, but a backing material such as gypsum board material,
The panels with decorative panels attached to one side (hereinafter referred to as component panels) are placed facing each other, and the intervening studs, intermediate reinforcing materials, etc. are sandwiched between backing materials, and the panels are assembled and finished on site. , in the large wall method of partitioning. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a connecting device when the constituent panels are divided into upper and lower parts.

Conventionally, in connecting these divided component panels, first, the lower end of the lower component panel (hereinafter referred to as the "lower panel") in the upper and lower sections is connected to the floor rail,
The left and right ends are connected to the studs, the upper end of the lower panel is placed along the intermediate reinforcing material between the studs, and on the opposite side, opposing lower panels are similarly erected. Connect the upper ends of the two lower panels to the intermediate reinforcement,
Those equipped with supporting or engaging members (hereinafter referred to as
Bring the component panel of the upper part (hereinafter referred to as the upper panel) above the connecting lower panel, push it up and insert it into the ceiling rail frame, then pull it down onto the connecting lower panel, and connect the connecting means. They were also tied together.

In this case, there is usually no special innovation in the shape of the constituent panels or intermediate reinforcing material;
Generally, a joint groove is exposed at the joint between the upper and lower panels. In addition, even if the connecting lower panel is constructed first or the upper panel is attached only on one side without constructing it, a member or means for supporting and holding the upper panel is attached to the upper end of the lower panel. However, there were some difficulties in the work. In addition, support or connection (for example, fitting) on the connection lower panel
In this example, the means are applied close to the width of the component panel, making it difficult to connect them together smoothly, and as mentioned above, exposing the joint grooves, which spoils the image of a large wall. becomes. Furthermore, even if the upper panel is placed on the connecting panel and the left and right sides thereof are fixed, the upper panel will be bent at its center, and the request for an aesthetically pleasing top and bottom coplanarity cannot be met.

The present invention solves all of the difficulties in the conventional methods, and the device is constructed using simple small processing on the intermediate reinforcing material and the constituent panels, and a small spring with a simple shape. It is a novel product consisting of parts.

Hereinafter, this will be explained with reference to the drawings. The constituent panel consists of a lower panel 1 and an upper panel 2. Both the lower panel 1 and the upper panel 2 have a top plate 4 attached to one side of a backing material 3 such as a gypsum board material.
The top plate 4 of the lower panel 1 protrudes upward by removing the upper end of the lining material 3 at the upper end of the lower panel 1 (the lower end is not shown), and extends its tip toward the lining material 3. Bend it at right angles to a length that is approximately equal to the width, and then fold the tip inward at right angles to the backing material 3.
Bend it slightly so that the other side is flush with the other side to form the upper L frame 5 with a square cross section. The top plate 4 of the upper panel 2 is located at the lower end of the upper panel 2 (the upper end is not shown).
, pull out the lower end of the lining material 3 of the upper panel 2 and protrude it downward, bend its tip twice at right angles in the same way as the upper L frame 5 of the lower panel 1, and connect the small bent surface of the tip with the lining material. A lower L frame 6 having a square cross section is formed so as to be aligned with the other side of the material 3.

The intermediate frame material 7 that provides intermediate reinforcement is made of studs 8, 8.
In between, there is a horizontally elongated member attached along the lower end of the upper panel 2 and the upper end of the lower panel 1, and its cross section is square-shaped. That is, in the center,
From the left and right upper ends of the square box-shaped central recess 9,
Each of the contact surfaces 10 has a square cross section and protrudes outward at right angles. The length of the downward protrusion of the contact surface 10 is longer than the depth (length) of the central concave partition 9, but may be the same or shorter. Stretching horizontally,
The central part of the downwardly protruding part of this contact surface 10 is cut out at one or two places on each of the left and right sides, and the cutout part 1 is cut out.
1 will be provided.

The spring connecting body 12 is made by bending a small piece of a rectangular spring plate made of elastic metal or the like upward symmetrically at right angles, leaving the center part in the longitudinal direction, and opening the tip with a small protrusion left. Fold the part outward at right angles,
The central part and the protruding part of the width are defined as the central protrusion 13, and the open tip is further bent inward at an acute angle, leaving the folded part in the width of the width, and the folded part and the acute angle bent part of the width are formed. Spring tongue pieces 14, 14
Then, leaving the tip of the acute bent portion at a higher position than the center portion, the open tip is further bent outward to a narrow width at an obtuse angle to form the locking tongue piece 15,1.
5.

These two pieces of spring plates made in the same shape are
The center parts are joined together and the spring tongue pieces 14, 1 are joined.
4, 14, and 14 are turned outward, and the spring connecting body 12 is vertically symmetrically combined and connected. The connection is only at the center of the central protrusions 13, 13.
An opening 18 is naturally formed between the upper and lower locking tongues 15, 15.

The size of the central protrusion 13 of the spring connector 12 is
It is large enough to fit the square box shape of the intermediate frame member 7 tightly.

An example of using this device to set up a large-wall type partition is shown in the drawings. First, the floor rail 16, ceiling rail 17,
Install the studs 8 and intermediate stiffeners (not shown) in place. Next, the intermediate frame material 7 of the present invention is
At the position where the lower end surface of the upper panel 2 (lower L frame 6) and its lower end surface are aligned, place the studs 8, 8
Fixed to. A spring connecting body 1 is inserted into a notch 11 (one location in the drawing) provided in this intermediate frame member 7.
2, the central concave partition 8 of the intermediate frame member 7 is fitted inside the central protrusion 13 thereof, and the two are connected and fixed with screws or the like. The fit of the spring coupling body 12 in the notch 11 is as shown in FIGS. 2 to 4.

Next, from the first side, stand the first lower panel 1 on the floor rail 16, and attach the left and right sides to the studs 8, 8.
When the upper part of the lower panel 1 is pressed against the intermediate frame member 7 (or while connected, the same applies hereinafter), the top end surface of the upper L frame 5 of the lower panel 1 is attached to the notch 11 of the intermediate frame member 7. Pushing the locking tongues 15, 15 of the spring connecting body 12 which are attached, and while bending the spring tongue 14, enter the inside of the spring body through the opening 18, and press the locking tongues 15, 14. The inner wall of the upper L frame 5 is locked by the front end or rear end of the upper L frame 5, thereby being held in place. This completes the installation of the lower panel 1.

Place the upper panel 2 on top of the lower panel 1, insert the upper end into the ceiling rail 17, lower it down, and place the lower end of the upper panel 2 in the middle at the position where it touches the lower panel 1. When pressed against the frame material 7, the lower L frame 6 contacts the surface of the upper L frame 5 of the lower panel 1, and in the same way as the upper L frame of the lower panel 1, the lower L frame 6 contacts the other parts of the spring connecting body 12. While pushing the locking tongue piece 15 and bending the other spring tongue piece 14, the opening 18 is expanded and the user enters the inside. By the tip or rear end of the other locking tongue piece 15 or spring tongue piece 14,
The inner wall of the lower L frame 6 is locked, and the center portion of the upper panel 2 is secured and connected. As shown in FIG. 3, the lower panel 1 and the upper panel 2 have a lower L frame 5 and an upper L frame 6 on one side of the spring coupling body 12 fixed to the central notch 11 of the intermediate frame member 7. The front and rear surfaces of the top plate 4, etc., where the sides of the constituent panel width and thickness meet each other, are as follows:
The surfaces are aligned at right angles and are locked by upper and lower locking tongues 15, 15, providing a solid connection.

In addition, the lower or upper end surface of the lining material 3 of the component panel is supported in a circumscribed manner by the abutting surface 10 of the intermediate frame material 7, and the upper and lower L frames 5, 6, the abutting surface 10, and the lining material 3, The space 19 that surrounds the spring connecting body 12
The spring tongue piece 14 and the locking tongue piece 15 can be bent and deformed (freely).

This completes the installation of the upper panel 2.
One unit of component panel on one side has been completed.

Note that the intermediate frame member 7 is not limited to the upper one as in the embodiment, but may also be attached to the upper end of the lower panel 1, or contrary to the embodiment, it may be one at the bottom. Furthermore, in the case of an upper and lower combination panel of a wall and a glass material, it is easily possible to use only one side of the spring connector 12, either the upper or lower side. Also, even if the constituent panels are divided into three or more upper and lower panels, one or two or more upper panels 2
A similar implementation can be achieved by attaching the intermediate frame member 7 and the spring coupling body 12 to the upper and lower end positions of the upper panel 2 and forming the upper L frame 5 at the upper end of the upper panel 2.

Next, bring the other lower panel 1 and the upper panel 2 to the other opposite sides, first, the other lower panel 1,
In the same manner as on the first side, from the other opening 18 of the spring coupling body 12 of the previous intermediate frame member 7,
enter and hold, then move the other upper panel 2
If you connect it on top of it in the same way as last time, the constituent panels on the other side will be completed, and one unit of the large wall of the upper and lower divided panels using this invention will be completed. be.

As is clear from the above description, by using the present invention, the workability of partitioning large divided walls is significantly improved, and the finishing effect is also excellent. That is, gypsum board material or the like is often used as the backing material 3, but its brittle nature is compensated for by the protrusion of the top plate 4 and the L frame, and the property of filling reinforcement is improved by the support of the contact surface 10. I'm helping too. It is possible to ensure that the upper and lower surfaces are on the same plane without creating a joint groove, by using only one spring connection body 12 (two places even if the wall body is large and has mass).
