The present invention relates to a movable partition panel that is used as the last panel to be installed in constructing such a movable partition.

[Background of the idea]

In this way, when constructing a partition with a plurality of panels movably supported along the upper rail, when all the panels are erected in a predetermined position,
It is extremely difficult to exactly match the overall width of the panel to the dimension between the walls of the room that makes up the partition, and it is common for there to be an error between the overall width of the partition and the dimension between the walls. be. Conventionally, various measures have been taken to adjust such errors. For example, there are some cases in which a space is prepared in advance to store a part of the final panel on the wall, but in this case, special construction is required on the wall, so the construction cost for the wall is high. Moreover, to create such a space, extra space will be taken up on the wall. In addition, some panels have a wide sealing material attached to the final panel to fill the gap between the panel and the wall surface, but in this case, the sealing material is easily damaged and is not aesthetically pleasing. It's not a thing. Other special mechanisms have been proposed to fill the gap between the final panel and the wall surface, but all of them are complex and significantly increase the cost of the movable partition.

[Purpose of invention]

The purpose of this invention is to incorporate a simple and inexpensive error adjustment mechanism in order to adjust the width error of the entire partition at the final erected position of the movable partition as described above, and to An object of the present invention is to provide a movable partition panel equipped with a sealing mechanism for sealing a gap between the panel and the surface.

[Summary of the idea]

is a ceiling, 2 is a floor, 3 is a wall, 4 is an upper rail attached to the ceiling, 5 is a support roller that runs along the upper rail, and 6 is movably supported on the rail by the support roller. The following panel is shown.

Figure 1 is a front view showing the internal mechanism of one embodiment of the movable partition panel according to the present invention, and Figures 2 and 3 are
4 are explanatory diagrams for explaining the operation.

As shown in FIG. 1, an upper seal member 7 and a lower seal member 8 are provided on the panel body to fill the gaps created between the upper and lower edges of the panel body and the upper rail and floor surface after the panel is fixed in place. It will be done. The upper seal member 7 is supported by a frame 9 that is vertically slidably mounted inside the panel body, and this frame 9 is always elastically pushed upward by a spring 10. . This spring 10 functions to absorb the force when a pressing force is further applied upward after the seal member 7 is projected from the panel body and hits the upper rail. Further, the lower seal member 8 is supported by a frame 11 that is vertically slidably mounted within the panel body. This frame 11 is provided with a spring 12, which acts to always elastically lift the lower seal member 8.

The above-mentioned upper seal member 7 and lower seal member 8 are connected by a link mechanism described below so as to simultaneously protrude from or retract from the panel body. Therefore, the spring 12 has such a strength that it always holds the seal members 7, 8 in the retracted position within the panel body, and at the time of protrusion, causes the seal members 7, 8 to protrude with a relatively small force. There is.

According to the present invention, the end panel 13, which fills the gap created between the rear edge of the panel and the wall surface after the panel is installed, is attached so as to protrude to the rear of the panel body. The end panel 13 is horizontally slidably supported within the panel body, and has at its inner end a pair of rods 14, a push frame 15 slidably engaged therewith, and a push frame 15 that is slidably engaged with the rods 14. A frame consisting of a spring 16 is mounted between the frame and the end panel. This spring 16
After the push frame 15 is pushed by the link mechanism described later and the end panel 13 is pressed against the wall surface,
Furthermore, when a pressing force is applied to the press frame 15, it serves to absorb this pressing force.

When the panel is installed and the final panel is fixed in place, the end panel 13 is first projected to close the gap with the wall 3, and then the upper and lower seal members 7 and 8 are projected upward and downward. A linkage mechanism is provided within the panel body for actuating the seal member and the end panel so as to close the gap between the upper and lower edges of the panel body and the upper rail and floor surface.

This link mechanism includes a link 18 attached to an operating shaft 17 rotatably supported from outside the panel within the panel body, and connected to this link by a pivot, and connected to the center of the press frame 15 by a pivot. including link 19. That is,
When link 18 is rotated clockwise, link 19
The end panel 13 is pushed out to the rear of the panel body.

Furthermore, this link mechanism has the above-mentioned operating shaft 17.
The link 20 includes a link 20 rotatably supported by the holder, one end of which is connected to the frame 9 of the upper seal member 7 via a rod 21, and an intermediate portion of the link 20 is connected to the lower seal member via toggle links 22 and 23. Part 8
It is connected to the frame 11 of.

A fan-shaped member 24 is attached to the link 18, and an actuating portion 24a is formed at the end thereof, so that when the link 18 is rotated clockwise from the position shown in FIG. 1, the link 18 rotates a certain amount. After that, the actuating portion 24a comes into contact with the link 20 and rotates it in the same direction.

The operation of the end panels and the upper and lower seal members of the panel described above will be explained with reference to FIGS. 2, 3, and 4. When the final panel reaches the predetermined position after the panels are assembled, the link mechanism is in the position shown in FIG. 2, and the upper and lower sealing members 7,
8 and end panel 13 are in the retracted position. As a result, a handle or an operating handle is engaged with the operating shaft 17 from outside the panel, and the operating shaft 17 is rotated clockwise. This causes the link 18 to rotate clockwise to the position shown in phantom in FIG. Close the gap between the wall and the wall.

At this time, since the spring 12 is strong enough to always hold the seal members 7 and 8 in the retracted position as described above, the seal members 7 and 8 are still held in the retracted position within the panel body. Link 18
rotates without acting on the link 20. However, when the link 18 is rotated to the position shown by the dashed line in FIG. Become so. Therefore, as the operating shaft 17 rotates, the link 20 is pushed by the link 18 and moves to the fourth position.
The upper sealing member 7 and the lower sealing member 8 are moved to the position shown in the figure by dashed lines 20' through the rod 21 and the toggle links 22, 23.
are moved to the positions indicated by broken lines 7' and 8' in FIG. 4 to seal the gap between the top and bottom of the panel body. At that time, the end panel 13 continues to move, but this movement is absorbed by the spring 16 shown in FIG. Therefore, the operation can be performed without any hindrance.

When retracting the end panel and seal member into the panel body, the actuating shaft 17 may be rotated in the opposite direction.

[Effect of idea]

According to the present invention, it is possible to adjust the width error of the entire movable partition using an extremely simple and inexpensive mechanism, and at the same time, the gap between the upper and lower edges of the panel body and the upper rail and floor surface can be adjusted. can be sealed. Further, according to the present invention, the position of the panel can be determined by first protruding the end panel rearward and applying it to the wall surface, so that the partition can be reliably installed without any looseness. However, after installing the partition in this way, the upper and lower sealing members can be made to protrude to seal the gap between the upper and lower panels. Furthermore, in the present invention, by operating the end panel and the upper and lower seal members by the same link mechanism, the end panel and the seal members can be extended and retracted with extremely simple operations. In addition, this link mechanism may be simple, have few failures, and be inexpensive. Regarding the upper and lower sealing mechanisms themselves, the present applicant has applied for utility model registration (Utility Model Application No. 59-4755 and Utility Model Application No. 59-4755).
