2. Description of the Related Art In a partition panel which is constructed by pulling out a large number of panels along a hanger rail provided on a ceiling surface or the like and combining them, the panels pulled out along the hanger rail are divided into a ceiling surface and a floor surface. Some panels are equipped with round drop, floor contact and ceiling fittings to fix them in between. That is, in the round drop, the round drop shaft is fitted in the locking hole provided on the floor surface to prevent the lower end of the panel from swinging or moving, and the floor contacting and contacting device uses the floor contacting frame and the contacting frame as the floor. The upper and lower edges of the panel are fixed to the floor surface and the ceiling surface by being pressed against the surface and the ceiling surface.

Such a floor contacting device and a ceiling contacting device are collectively operated by operating an operation dial provided near the summing surface on one side of the panel surface of each panel. That is, a gear is fixed to a rotary shaft rotated by the operation dial, a rack is meshed with the gear, and when the operation dial is rotated, the rotational force is converted into a reciprocating driving force by the rack. Then, the floor contact device and the ceiling contact device are driven by the drive shaft connected to the rack. The round drop is operated separately from the floor contacting device and the ceiling contacting device.

[0004]

However, in the partition panel as described above, the operation dial is exposed on the front surface of the panel. Therefore, if the operation dial has a small diameter so as not to spoil the appearance of the panel, the operation dial is rotated. The operating force for doing this increases. Therefore, when the operation dial is provided on the summing surface of the panel, it is necessary to dispose the gear and rack provided in the panel in the thickness direction of the panel, which increases the thickness of the panel. .. Further, there is a problem that the operation dial for operating the floor contacting device and the ceiling contacting device and the round drop must be operated separately, which makes the operation complicated.

The object of the present invention is to improve the aesthetics of the panel, reduce the operation force for fixing the panel to the floor surface, prevent the panel thickness from increasing, and combine the floor contacting device and the round drop. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a fixing device for a partition panel that can be operated as a whole.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention movably suspends and supports a large number of panels on a hanger rail provided on a ceiling or the like, and mounts each panel along the hanger rail. In a partition panel in which a floor contacting device that fixes the panel to the floor surface in the assembled state and a round drop are provided on the panel, the operation knobs are supported on the summing surface of each panel so that they can move up and down, and the operation knobs A first rack that moves up and down in the panel as the operation knob moves up and down is provided at the base end, and the first and second gears are fixed to a common rotation shaft that is rotatably supported in the panel. Then, both gears are rotatably supported in the direction along the panel surface of the panel, the first rack is meshed with the first gear, and the second gear is vertically movable in the panel. Second LA supported Engaging the click, the same second rack is configured so as to connect the drive shaft for driving the round down and Seyyuka device.

[0007]

When the operating knob is operated in the vertical direction by the above means, the first rack is moved up and down, and the rotary shaft is rotated via the first gear as the first rack is moved up and down.
The second gear is rotated with the rotation of the rotating shaft, and the second rack is moved up and down with the rotation of the second gear,
As the second rack moves up and down, the drive shaft moves up and down to drive the floor-contacting device and the round drop.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT An embodiment embodying the present invention will now be described with reference to FIG.
~ It demonstrates according to FIG. As shown in FIG. 1, the partition panel is a state in which a plurality of panels 1 are suspended and supported by a hanger rail embedded in a ceiling surface 2 via a runner (not shown), and each panel 1 is assembled. Then, the contacting and floor contacting device is operated to press the contacting frame 3 against the ceiling surface 2 and the contacting frame 4 against the floor surface 5, and further attach a circle drop described later to the engagement hole provided on the floor surface 5. By combining them, each panel 1 is fixed between the ceiling surface 2 and the floor surface 5.

The floor contacting device, the ceiling contacting device, and the round dropper will be described. As shown in FIG. 2, an operating recess 6 is provided on one of the facing surfaces of the panel 1, and the operating recess 6 is adjacent to the operating recess 6. An operation knob 7 is supported so that it can be moved up and down with a constant stroke so as not to hinder the assembly with the panel 1. A first rack 8 which moves up and down together with the operation knob 7 is attached to the base end of the operation knob 7, and the first rack 8 is attached to the first rack 8 in the panel 1 along the front and rear panel surfaces of the panel 1. The first gear 9 rotatably supported by the gears meshes with each other. Therefore, when the operation knob 7 is moved upward or downward, the first gear 9 is rotated via the first rack 8.

As shown in FIG. 3, the first gear 9 is supported by a rotating shaft 10, and the rotating shaft 10 is rotatably supported by a case 11 arranged in the panel 1. A second gear 12 is attached to the rotary shaft 10, and second racks 13a and 13b are supported on both sides of the second gear 12 so as to be vertically movable in the panel 1 as shown in FIG. Are in mesh. That is, the second racks 13a, 13
Long holes 14 are provided in b in the vertical direction, and support pins 15 projecting from the case 11 penetrate through the long holes 14 and are supported so as to be vertically movable along the long holes 14. Therefore, when the first gear 9 is rotated, the rotating shaft 1
0 is rotated, and the second gear 12 is rotated with the rotation of the rotary shaft 10 to move the second racks 13a and 13b in the vertical direction.

The base end of a drive shaft 16a extending upward is fixed to the upper end of the second rack 13a, and the second rack 1
A base end of a drive shaft 16b extending downward is fixed to the lower end of 3b. The drive shaft 16a drives the ceiling contact device, and the drive shaft 16b drives the floor contact device and the round drop. However, since the floor contact device and the ceiling contact device have almost the same configuration,
The floor contacting device driven by the drive shaft 16b and the round drop will be described below.

As shown in FIG. 6, the lower end of the drive shaft 16b penetrates an inverted L-shaped support member 18 fixed to one end of the floor frame 4, and a round drop shaft 19 is attached below the support member 18. ing. Then, the support member 1 is attached by the E ring 20 fitted to the drive shaft 16b above the round drop shaft 19.
By suspending and supporting 8 one end of the floor contact frame 4 is the drive shaft 1
It is suspended and supported by 6b. A coil spring 22 is disposed between the upper surface of the support member 18 and the E ring 21 fitted above the drive shaft 16b, and the support member 18 is always urged downward by the urging force of the coil spring 22. Has been done.

As shown in FIG. 8, a floor contact link 23 is provided between the floor contact frame 4 and the lower frame 1a of the panel 1, and the floor contact link 23 causes the floor contact frame 4 to be parallel to the floor surface 5. It is designed to move up and down while maintaining the state. A floor-contact cushion 24 is attached to the lower edge of the floor-contact frame 4.

Next, a description will be given of the operation of bringing the floor 1 into contact with the floor and the floor-contacting operation of the panel 1 equipped with the floor-contacting device, the floor-contacting device, and the round drop. When the panel 1 is moved along the hanger rail, the operation knob 7 is positioned above the moving range as shown in FIGS. 2 and 5. In this state, as shown in FIG. 4, the second rack 13a is in the most downwardly moved state, and the second rack 13b is in the most upwardly moved state. In this state, as shown in FIG. The support member 18 is pulled upward by the drive shaft 16b, the floor contact frame 4 is separated from the floor surface 5, and the round drop shaft 19 is also submerged in the floor contact frame 4.

In this state, when the panel 1 is moved to a predetermined position along the hanger rail and the operation knob 7 is moved downward, the first rack 8 is moved downward in FIG. The gear 9 is rotated in the direction of arrow A. Then, the second gear 12 fixed to the same rotary shaft 10 as the first gear 9 is rotated in the same direction, the second rack 13a is moved upward and the second rack 13b is moved downward, and the second gear 13b is moved downward. Drive shaft 16 based on movement of racks 13a and 13b
a and 16b are moved respectively.

When the drive shaft 16b is moved downward, the floor contact frame 4 is moved downward, and eventually the floor contact cushion 24 comes into contact with the floor surface 5. Then, further downward movement of the floor contact frame 4 is prevented, so that only the drive shaft 16b and the round drop shaft 19 at its tip end move downward, and the round drop shaft 19 moves toward the floor surface 5 as shown in FIG. It is inserted into the engaging hole 25 provided in the. At this time, the coil spring 22 is compressed between the E ring 21 and the support member 18, and the support member 18 is strongly urged downward by the urging force, and the urging force causes the floor contact frame 4 to move.
The floor contact cushion 24 is pressed against the floor surface 5. At this time, the reaction force due to the urging force of the coil spring 22 acts on the drive shaft 16b, but the reaction force acting on the second racks 13a and 13b does not rotate the second gear 12, so that the floor contact frame. 4 is held in a state of being pressed against the floor surface 5.
On the other hand, when the drive shaft 16a moves upward, the ceiling mount 3
Is also moved upward and pressed against the ceiling surface 2, and thus the panel 1 is fixed to the ceiling surface 2 and the floor surface 5. Then, the succeeding panels are assembled on the assembly surface of the panel 1 fixed in this way, and the respective panels are sequentially fixed.

As described above, in this partition panel, the first rack 8, the first gear 9 and the second gear 8 arranged in the panel 1 are operated by operating the operation knob 7 provided on the summing surface. Through the gear 12, the second racks 13a and 13b, and the drive shafts 16a and 16b, the ceiling mount 3 and the floor mount 4 are connected.
Can be moved up and down, and the round drop shaft 19 can be moved up and down. Therefore, since the operation knob 7 is not exposed to the panel surface, the aesthetic appearance can be improved, and the operation force of the operation knob 7 is reduced by the first rack 8 and the first gear 9 to the rotating shaft 10. The rotational force transmitted from the rotary shaft 10 is transmitted to the second gear 12 and the second rack 1.
Since it is further decelerated by 3a and 13b and converted into a linear motion, it is possible to perform the raising and lowering operation of the armature frame 3, the floor frame 4, and the round drop shaft 19 with a slight operation force.

Since the first gear 9 and the second gear 12 are both rotatably supported by the rotating shaft 10 in the direction along the panel surface, the first rack 8 and the second rack 13a, 13b can also be arranged with respect to each gear 9 and 12 in the direction along the panel surface. Therefore, without increasing the panel thickness, the first rack 8 and the second rack 1
The panels 3a and 13b can be easily stored in the panel 1.

[0019]

As described above in detail, the present invention improves the aesthetics of the panel, reduces the operation force for fixing the panel to the floor surface, and prevents the increase in the panel thickness, and the floor contacting device. And, it is possible to provide a partition panel fixing device capable of collectively operating the contacting device and the round drop, and exert an excellent effect.
