Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a partition unit suitably used in offices and other places.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, in this type of partition unit, a plurality of locking claws are provided at both ends of a flat panel, and a plurality of locking holes are provided at both ends of a column, and the locking claws are connected to the locking holes. It is known that a space such as an office space can be partitioned with an open top by sequentially joining adjacent panels by engaging with stop holes.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, in such a structure, if the panels are not firmly connected, adjacent panels may become uneven at the joints with the pillars.

Therefore, there is a problem in that the surface of the partition unit becomes angular and wavy, making irregularities noticeable and deteriorating the appearance.

Further, in such a partition unit, the locking claws of the panels and the locking holes of the pillars are connected by engaging with each other, so there is also a disadvantage that the direction in which the panels are arranged is restricted.

The present invention aims to solve such problems.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention takes the following measures.

That is, the partition unit according to the present invention is characterized by comprising a panel curved into an arcuate shape in plan view, and a frame disposed on the concave side of the panel and supporting the panel in a self-supporting manner.

If the panel is semitransparent and the frame is equipped with a lighting device that projects light toward the concave side of the panel, the convex side of the panel will be semitransparent, and the convex side of the panel will be transparent. Because it provides illumination, it helps to enhance the scenery.

In order to stably support the panel and prevent the panel from deforming over a long period of time, the frame should include left and right struts that support the left and right edges of the panel, and horizontal members that connect these left and right struts. It is equipped with a crossbar for fall prevention installed across the horizontal member connecting the lower ends of the two branches, and adjusters installed on the bottom surface of both ends of the crossbar and on the bottom surfaces of the left and right columns, respectively. It is better to make it .

In that case, it is preferable to attach the lighting equipment to the horizontal member.

If it is desired to effectively utilize the space formed on the concave side of the panel, it is recommended to attach a shelf board to the horizontal member and place various small items on the shelf board.

[Operation] If the partition unit has such a configuration, the panels themselves are curved, so even if there is misalignment between adjacent partitions when multiple units are installed side by side in the horizontal direction, The area is less noticeable, and the discomfort caused by unevenness can be eliminated.

In addition, each partition unit can stand on its own, allowing adjacent panels to change their orientation independently, allowing for a variety of layouts depending on the shape of the room and your preferences. It also becomes easier.

[Example] Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 14.
