Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Application Field The present application relates to a table partitioning device that partitions the upper surface of a long top plate such as a conference table in the longitudinal direction.

Problems to be solved by conventional techniques and ideas Conventionally, when a long table used for meetings or meetings with a large number of people is used by multiple small groups at multiple locations, it is difficult for the groups to interact with each other. There is a risk that the meeting may interfere with other meetings due to face-to-face meetings, etc., and there may be inconveniences such as not having a place to put down necessary documents for meetings, etc. Ta.

Means for Solving the Problem Therefore, the present application provides for a pair of left and right support columns that are erected from leg pieces having casters on the lower surface to have a length slightly larger than the width of the table top plate, and Attaches a horizontal rod having a bent part through which the upper part of the back of the chair can pass, and at the left and right ends of the lower part,
The center portions of the left and right edges of a partition board having notches corresponding to the bent portions of the horizontal rods are rotatably supported horizontally between the upper portions of the pillars, and further, the partition board has vertical and horizontal states. The above-mentioned inconvenience is solved by providing a table partition characterized by having a holding mechanism for selectively holding the table partition.

In use, the chairs are arranged opposite to each other along the longitudinal sides of the table, and the partition board is placed across the top with their seats interposed below the top. The table is moved on the floor surface and installed at any position along the length of the table, and when it is moved, the upper part of the back of the chair, which protrudes above the top surface, is moved to the left and right positions of the horizontal bars. Its movement is carried out without any hindrance through the bends provided. When a table is used by multiple groups, it is necessary to position the partitioning device between them, hold the partition board vertically using a holding mechanism, and place documents necessary for meetings etc. At this time, the partition board is held in a horizontal state by the locking means.

Embodiments Hereinafter, embodiments of the present application will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
Reference numerals 1 and 1 refer to a pair of left and right leg members each having an outward V-shape in plan view and having a support 4 erected from the center of a leg piece 3 having casters 2, 2 disposed on the lower surfaces of both ends thereof. The support 4 is made of a hollow pipe with a flat cross section, and has a width between its upper parts that is slightly longer than the width of the top plate a of the conference table A, and its center part is wider than the top surface of the top plate a. A horizontal rod 6 is installed, which is slightly separated from the other, and has bent portions 5, 5 whose left and right end portions are bent upward, through which the upper part of the backrest b of the chair B can pass, thereby allowing the pair of left and right leg members to 1,1 are connected. Reference numeral 7 indicates a partition board made of a required material. The board 7 has a horizontal rectangular shape, and has pivots 8, 8 fixed at the center of both sides thereof, and at the left and right ends of the lower part. , cutout portions 9, 9 corresponding to the bent portions 5, 5 of the horizontal rod 6 are provided, and the pivot shafts 8, 8 are provided on the upper portions of the columns 4, 4 of the pair of left and right leg members 1, 1, respectively. It is freely supported on the shaft. The partition board 7 is selectively held in a horizontal state and a vertical state by the operation of a holding mechanism 10 described later, and when the partition board 7 is held in the vertical state, it is partitioned by the board 7. The height dimension is such that the face of the other party at the left and right positions cannot be seen. As shown in FIG. 4, the holding mechanism 10 includes a pinion gear 11 that is fixed to the pivot shaft 8 that projects inside the support column 4, and a guide shaft 12 that projects in parallel with the pivot shaft 8 at a position below the pinion gear 11. and a sliding rod 15 integrally provided with a rack 13 on the upper part that engages with the pinion gear 11, and a guide piece 14 on the lower part with a guide hole 14a extending vertically and into which the guide shaft 12 is inserted; It consists of a screw shaft 16 projecting perpendicularly from the sliding rod 15 and an operation knob 17 screwed onto the screw shaft 16.The back surface of the sliding rod 15 is
In order to maintain the meshing state between the pinion gear 11 and the rack 13 and to ensure smooth sliding of the sliding rod 15, a spacer 18 made of, for example, synthetic resin is fixed to the inner surface of the column 4. The screw shaft 16 is held movably and projects outward through a long hole 4a provided in the support column 4, and an operation knob 17 is screwed into this projection.

Therefore, when installing the table partition of the present application, chairs B, B, etc. arranged oppositely on the sides in the longitudinal direction of the top plate a of the conference table A, whose seats are the same as those of the table A. The partition board 7 moves along the longitudinal direction across the top plate a with the inner surface of the backrest b interposed below the top plate a in contact with the side surface of the top plate a, and The holding mechanism 10 holds the partition board 7 in a vertical position to partition the table surface into left and right sides at any desired position, as shown in FIG. The partition of the present invention passes through the bent parts 5, 5 provided on the horizontal bars 6, and the partition of the present invention can be moved without any problem.Also, even if the rear leg of the chair B slightly protrudes outward, the leg 3 has an outward V-shape, so its leg 3
does not intervene inside the overhanging rear legs of the chair, and therefore the movement of the leg members 1, 1 is not hindered.

In addition, when using the table as a shelf for placing documents and equipment necessary for a meeting without dividing it, for example, first rotate the operation knob 17 of the holding mechanism 10 from the state shown by the solid line in FIG. 4. Sliding rod 15
After releasing the tightened state, rotate the board 7 by 90 degrees by hand. Then, along with this, pinion gear 1
1 also rotates, and the sliding rod 15 moves upward through its engagement with the rack 13, so that the lower end of the guide hole 14a abuts the guide shaft 12, and the board 7 becomes horizontal. In this state, the operating knob 17 is rotated again to tighten the sliding rod 15 to the inner surface of the support column 4, thereby maintaining the horizontal state of the partition board 7 as shown by the imaginary lines in FIGS. 1 and 4.

Effects of the invention As described above, according to the present application, even if a small group uses a long table used in a meeting with a large number of people at multiple locations, the groups can be partitioned and It also has the advantage of eliminating the fear of people meeting face-to-face, and can also be used as a shelf to place documents needed for a meeting, if necessary.
