Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a partition panel, and particularly to a partition panel whose height can be changed by raising and lowering some of the panels.

[Conventional technology]

FIG. 4 shows a first conventional example, and shows an example of a low partition 1 that is a partition panel.

The low partition 1 in the figure is installed to partition the three sides around the desk 2, and its height is constant, and the height is determined by the height dimension of the panel itself of the low partition 1. . Therefore, when changing the height, the method used was to replace the low partition 1 with a low partition 1 manufactured in advance with a different height.

FIG. 5 shows a second conventional example, in which a panel 1, which is a partition panel, is attached to the top surface of a desk 2 on the front side. In order to change the height of this partition panel 1 as well, the method used was to replace it with a panel of different dimensions, similar to the first conventional example.

FIG. 6 shows the main part of a third conventional example. The low partition 1 as a partition panel is constructed by stacking a plurality of panels with intervening metal fittings (not shown). When changing the height of the low partition 1, a method was used in which panels were further piled up in a block manner.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

However, in the partition panel 1 shown in the conventional example described above, changing the height requires a new panel or the panel needs to be removed and stored. There is a problem that this cannot be done easily, and furthermore, the height of the partition panel 1 is determined by the dimensions of the panel itself that has been manufactured in advance, so the height of the partition panel 1 cannot be set arbitrarily. There was also a problem.

The present invention has been made in view of the above background, and its purpose is to enable the panel height to be easily changed to any height according to the purpose of use, and to enable the height change. To provide a partition panel that does not require a new panel and does not generate unnecessary panels.

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a partition panel 1 that partitions at least one side of an indoor space, and provides at least two partition panels that are movable in the vertical direction.
The partition panel 1 is constructed of two panels la and lb, and a panel lifting means 3 is interposed between each panel Ia and lb to raise and lower at least one panel 1b, making the partition panel 1 expandable and contractible in the height direction. This is a characteristic feature.

[Effect]

As described above, in the partition panel 1 that partitions at least one side of an indoor space, the partition panel 1 is provided with two panels la and l that are movable at least in the vertical direction.
A panel lifting means 3 is provided between each panel 1a and lb.
Lifting and lowering at least one panel 1b with the intervening
Since the height of the partition panel 1 is made expandable and retractable, the height of the partition panel 1 can be increased by simply lifting at least one panel 1b using the panel lifting means 3, and, When reducing the height, the height of the partition panel 1 can be similarly reduced simply by lowering at least one panel 1b. Therefore, the height of the partition panel 1 can be easily changed to any desired height depending on the purpose of use, and no new panel is required to change the height, and unnecessary panels are not created.

〔Example〕

FIG. 1 shows the main part of a first embodiment of the present invention. This partition panel 1 has two panels, a lower panel 1a and an upper panel 1b, a panel lifting means 3 is provided between them, and the upper panel 1b is located at the upper end of the lower panel 1a. It is configured so that it can be stored in the lower panel 1a.

The panel elevating means 3 includes a drive shaft 4 disposed parallel to the upper end of the lower panel 1a, a worm gear 5 fixed to the center of the drive shaft 4, and an elevating operation knob 6 connected to the worm gear 5. , a gear 7 fixed to both ends of the drive shaft 4
and elevating teeth 8 provided on the surface of the upper panel 1b and meshing with the gear 7.

In the partition panel 1 configured in this way, when the lift operation knob 6 is turned, the direction of the rotation is changed by the worm gear 5, and the drive shaft 4 and the gear 7 are rotated. 8 is moved, and the upper panel 1b moves up and down. Therefore, when concentration is required, turn the lift operation knob 6 to raise the upper panel 1b and raise the partition panel 1, and when communication is required, turn the lift operation knob 6. By lowering the upper panel 1b, the partition panel 1 can be lowered and used. For example, the partition panel 1 can be used as an office desk partition, a meeting corner partition, an OA equipment corner partition, a free address system partition, etc. depending on the purpose of use. The height of the panel 1 can be easily changed to any desired height. In addition, a new panel is not required to change the height, and even when the height is lowered, there is no need to remove the panel, and there is no need to store unnecessary parts.

FIG. 2 shows a second embodiment of the present invention, which differs from the first embodiment in that the upper panel 1b is composed of two panels for each lower panel la. The elevating means 3 is also provided for each upper panel 1b, and the rest of the structure is the same as that of the first embodiment.

Even with this configuration, the same effects as in the first embodiment can be achieved.

FIG. 3 shows a third embodiment of the present invention, which differs from the first embodiment in that the panel lifting means 3 is constructed using a leaf spring 9 instead of a gear 7. Other than that, the structure is the same as that of the first embodiment.

The panel lifting means 3 is provided with leaf springs 9 provided on both side walls of the inner surface of the lower panel 1a, and engaged with the leaf springs 9, and arranged vertically on both end surfaces of the upper panel 1b. It consists of a plurality of holes 10, and the leaf spring 9 has a substantially Ω-shaped shape and is elastic, with a central portion protruding and at least one end portion fixed to the lower panel 1a,
The protrusion is configured to engage with a hole 10 provided in the upper panel 1b.

In the partition panel 1 configured in this way, by applying force upward or downward to both ends of the upper panel 1b, the leaf spring 9 deforms and the upper panel 1b moves upward or downward. The leaf spring 9 returns to its original position at a position facing the upper or lower hole 10, engages with the hole 10, and is fixed, thereby changing the height of the partition panel 1.

Therefore, even with such a configuration, the same effects as in the first embodiment can be achieved.

In addition, in the first embodiment, the panel lifting means 3
Although an example has been shown in which the controller is operated manually, the present invention is not limited to this, and may be operated electrically. Furthermore, in the third embodiment, an example has been described in which the leaf spring 9 is provided in the lower panel 1a and the hole 10 that engages with the leaf spring 9 is provided in the upper panel 1b. Of course, the present invention is not limited to this, and the leaf spring may be provided in the upper panel 1b and the hole may be provided in the lower panel.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, the partition panel that partitions at least one side of the indoor space is composed of two panels that are movable at least in the vertical direction, and a panel lifting means is provided between each panel to raise and lower the panel, Since the height of the partition panel is variable, when increasing the height, the panel height can be increased simply by raising at least one panel using the panel lifting means, and even when decreasing the height, Similarly, the panel height can be reduced simply by lowering at least one panel. Therefore, the height of the panel can be easily changed to any desired height depending on the purpose of use.
No new panels are required to change the height, and no unnecessary panels are created, so there is no need to store unnecessary parts.
