Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a partition panel wiring device, and more particularly to a partition panel for providing a wiring function to a workstation constructed by combining a plurality of partition panels and a desk. Wiring device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, various partition panels having a wiring function have been provided. For example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 4-73121, which is a prior application of the present applicant, discloses a horizontal beam member having a horizontally long opening groove that is opened in at least one of the front and back surfaces at an appropriate height position of a partition panel. A horizontally arranged cover body is formed in the horizontal length of the lower part of the horizontal beam member, and a gutter-shaped part for receiving a cord communicating with the opening groove is formed, and a horizontally long cover body for closing the opening groove of the horizontal beam member, A frame member made of a hard material that is detachably attached to the transverse beam member, and a shield plate made of a soft material that closes the inside of the frame member, and the shield plate is provided with either an upper edge or a lower edge thereof. There is disclosed a wiring device for a partition panel, which is attached to the frame body so that a free end is formed.

In the wiring device described in the above-mentioned publication, a cord is inserted between the upper and lower shield plates of the cover body provided in the opening groove of the horizontal beam member by utilizing its deformation, and the cord is inserted into the gutter portion of the horizontal beam member. By storing the cord, it is possible to wire the cord in the left-right direction of the partition panel, and a cord insertion hole provided with a detachable lid body which is an end surface of the partition panel and communicates with the gutter-shaped portion of the transverse beam member. Through, there is an advantage that it can be wired inside the adjacent partition panel.

However, when a power cord or a multi-core signal cord having a large plug or a connector connected to its tip is wired inside an adjacent partition panel, or when it is wired through the front and back of the partition panel. It was inconvenient. That is,
Since the cover body has the frame body, the cord must be inserted into the frame body.Although the cover body is detachably attached to the cross beam member, the cover body is once fitted into the opening groove. , It is difficult to remove it when it is connected to other partition panels, and the horizontal beam member has a gutter-shaped part for partitioning the cord that is partitioned by partition walls on both front and back sides, but both gutter-shaped parts are not connected. Therefore, it is difficult to wire a power cord or a multi-core signal cord with a large plug or connector connected to the tip.

[0005]

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION In view of the above-mentioned situation, the present invention is to solve the problem by connecting a plurality of partition panels to each other in a linear shape, an L shape, a T shape or a cross shape. In the case of configuring, even if a power cord or a multi-core signal cord with a large plug or connector connected to the tip is wired inside a single partition panel, the connecting portion of a plurality of adjacent partition panels can be connected. It is an object to provide a partition panel wiring device in which wiring can be easily performed across the partition panel and wiring can be easily performed by penetrating both sides of the partition panel.

[0006]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention detachably attaches an upper panel plate to the upper part of an internal hollow partition panel, and a cord formed at both ends of the upper panel plate. A wiring device for a partition panel is configured by providing a lid that can be slidably opened / closed in the insertion opening.

Further, a laterally long duct is formed between the upper panel plate and the lower panel plate at a predetermined height position on at least the front surface of both sides of the partition panel, and the duct can be closed and formed at both ends. A wiring device for a partition panel is configured by detachably attaching a duct cover having a lid body that can be slidably opened / closed in a cord insertion opening to the inside of the duct.

Further, laterally long ducts are formed between the upper panel plate and the lower panel plate at the same height on both front and back sides of the partition panel, and the ducts can be closed and formed at both ends. A wiring device for a partition panel is configured by detachably attaching a duct cover having a lid body that can be slidably opened / closed in a cord insertion opening to the inside of the duct.

In the case described above, it is a preferred embodiment that the duct cover is slidably opened and the duct cover is removable by putting a finger on the opened cord insertion opening.

[0010]

In the partition panel wiring device of the present invention having the above-mentioned contents, when the cord is wired inside, it is at a predetermined height position on at least the front surface side of the upper panel plate or the front and back surfaces of the partition panel. Remove the duct cover that closed the oblong duct formed between the upper panel plate and the lower panel plate, slide the lid to open the cord insertion opening, and place the cord inside the opening. After that, the duct cover is attached to the duct again. still,
To wire over the connecting parts of adjacent partition panels,
At the linear connecting part, both corresponding duct covers are removed, the cords are arranged in both ducts with the lids closed, and then the respective duct covers are attached, and the L-shaped, T-shaped or cross-shaped At the connecting part, remove both duct covers adjacent to the corner support, place the cords in the open cord insertion openings with each lid open, and then attach each duct cover to the duct again. As a result, the cord is routed between the adjacent partition panels, bypassing the corner support.

At the same height position on both front and back sides of the partition panel, a horizontally elongated duct is formed between the upper panel plate and the lower panel plate so that the duct covers can be freely attached to and removed from the front and back ducts. In the case of a structure to be attached, with the duct covers on the front and back removed, with the duct cover lids open, place the cords through the ducts and place them in the open cord insertion openings, and then again on both duct covers. By attaching the to the duct, it is possible to wire through the partition panel. In this case, a plurality of partition panels,
When the partition device is configured by connecting the L-shaped, T-shaped, or cross-shaped elements to each other, it is possible to route the cord by bypassing the corner posts for connection over a plurality of spaces partitioned by the partition panel. .

Here, when the lid of the upper panel plate or the duct cover is slid open and a finger is put on the opened cord insertion opening so that the upper panel plate or the duct cover can be removed, a plurality of the plural panels are removed. After connecting the partition panels to each other, even if there is no gap between the adjacent partition panels to insert a finger to remove the duct cover, the duct covers of each partition panel should be covered with a lid when wiring the cords. It is possible to easily remove the cord from the duct by sliding and opening the cord and hooking the opened cord insertion opening with a finger.
