As this fixing device, the applicant of the present invention dated January 25, 1991, "a pressure panel fixing device for hanging panels. (Japanese Patent Application No. 1-152225).
By the way, the above-mentioned press-contact fixing device is provided with a rod device that moves up and down at one side end of the panel, and a rod device that moves left and right is also arranged at the upper and lower ends of the panel. The devices are connected so that they can be interlocked, and the upper and lower pressure contact frames and the side pressure contact frames are attached to both of these rod devices. It is configured to move and to press and fix the partition. An elastic body such as pressure contact rubber is attached to the contact surface side of the outer frame attached to the pressure contact frame to improve the close contact with the floor surface and the ceiling surface. Is attached with a gap material, and the gap material moves in the diagonal direction of the partition along with the movement of the outer frame.

However, when the upper and lower pressure contact frames and the side pressure contact frame are simultaneously moved in this way, the gap member impedes the movement of the outer frame and causes the outer frame to incline, so that a gap is formed between the outer wall and the abutting wall surface. Will result. No gap should be created between the arranged partitions, but if the upper and lower gaps are fixed by the vertical movement of the vertical press contact frame due to the difference between the upper and lower gaps and the left and right gaps. Even if the side pressurizing frame overhangs to eliminate the gap with the side wall surface, a gap may occur between adjacent partitions. Therefore, it is necessary to first overhang the side pressure contact frame to eliminate the gap between the side wall surface and the adjacent partitions, and then move the vertical pressure contact frame up and down to fix it.

Therefore, in order to meet these requirements, the applicant of the present application filed on November 11, 1991, "a pressure contact fixing device for a suspended movable partition" (Japanese Patent Application No. Hei 1-131590).
issue). This press-contact fixing device is provided with an up-and-down moving rod device for operating the side press-contact frame. The left-right moving rod device that connects the rods and operates the vertical pressing frame is connected to the ends of the subordinate vertical rods through a direction changer such as a swing cam. Therefore, the vertical pressure contact frame is configured to operate in a state where the side pressure contact frame first moves and comes into contact with the wall surface to eliminate a gap when the vertical movement rod device operates.

However, this pressure contact fixing device also has the following problems. That is, a swing cam is used as a conversion device for connecting the main up-down rod and the side pressure contact frame and converting the vertical movement of the main up-down rod into horizontal movement.
The swing cam rotates about the support shaft by the movement of the main upper and lower rods, but the rotation angle of the swing cam and the moving distance of the side pressure contact frame with respect to the movement of the main vertical rod change. Similarly, the pressure contact force for pressing the side pressure contact frame against the side wall also varies, often impeding smooth movement.

[0006]

As described above, the conventional pressure contact fixing device has the above-mentioned problems. The problems to be solved by the present invention are these problems, and provide a direction changer and a press-contact fixing device that enable the press-contact frame to move smoothly with respect to the movement of the upper and lower rods.
