Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a connecting structure for connecting partition panels used for partitioning a room in an office or the like to each other or to a pillar or the like.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, to connect partition panels, a structure has been used in which plate pieces are respectively screwed to the upper and lower ends of a connection end surface.

In this structure, since screws are screwed at both upper and lower ends, workability is poor, and there are inconveniences such as light leakage due to a gap between the connection end faces and low strength against horizontal displacement.

An object of the present invention is to eliminate these inconveniences, improve the efficiency of connection work, prevent leakage of light, and improve the strength.

Means for Solving the Problems The present invention is to provide a vertically extending concave groove formed on at least one of connection end faces between a partition panel and another panel connected to the partition panel, a joint, and the like. Recesses that are opened at the upper and lower ends and are respectively provided along the connection end face, a rod body that fits in the recessed groove and extends vertically, and is fixedly provided at one end of the rod body, and the tip end is provided with the both ends. A coupling piece inserted into each of the concave portions of the connection end face, and a coupling plate having its tip inserted into each of the concave portions of the both connection end faces on the other end side of the rod body, and the coupling plate of the rod body. It consists of a tightening screw that is screwed to the end and tightens the connecting piece and the connecting plate with each other via a rod to connect both connecting end faces.The tip of the connecting piece or the tip of the connecting plate extends diagonally. , When connecting with the tightening screw, bring both connecting end faces close to each other. It is a partition panel connection structure that can be used.

A spring may be provided between the connecting plate and the rod, and the connecting plate may be separated from the rod when the tightening screw is loosened.

It is further preferable that the groove is formed on both of the connecting end faces, and that the rod body is fitted in the both groove without a gap so as to prevent horizontal displacement of both connecting end faces.

Further, the rod body may be attached to one of the connection end faces so as to be vertically movable.

EXAMPLES Hereinafter, examples illustrating the present invention will be specifically described.

To do so.

Reference numeral 18 denotes a rod body, which is made of a pipe body having a square cross section, and fits into both the concave grooves 14 and 14 'without a gap when the connecting end surfaces 15 and 15' are butted. Reference numeral 19 is a connecting piece, which is formed by bending a metal plate piece into a substantially U-shape, and is welded to the lower end of the rod body 18, and the tips 20, 20 '.
Faces upward and can be inserted into the recesses 16 and 16 'at the lower end. The tips 20, 20 'extend obliquely and are pushed deeply into the recesses 16, 16', so that both connection end faces 15, 15 'can be brought close to each other. Reference numeral 21 denotes a connecting plate, which has substantially the same shape as that of the connecting piece 19, and the tips 22 and 22 'thereof can be inserted into the concave portions 16 and 16' at the upper end, and when they extend obliquely and are deeply inserted. Both connection end faces
15,15 'can be close. Further, the connecting plate 21 has a hole 23 in the center. 24 is a tightening screw, a connecting plate

It is provided between the cover plate 25 and the cover plate 25 and raises the connecting plate 21 when the tightening screw 24 is loosened.

The connection of this structure 10 is made as shown in FIG. The connecting end surfaces 15, 15 'of both partition panels 11, 11' are butted, and at this time, the rod body 18 is fitted in the recessed grooves 14, 14 ', and the connecting piece 1
Insert the tips 20, 20 of 9 into the recesses 16, 16 'at the bottom. Next, the spring 28 and the connecting plate 21 are superposed on the upper end of the rod body 18, the tightening screw 24 is inserted and screwed into the female screw portion 27, and the tips 22, 22 'of the connecting plate 21 are inserted.
Is inserted into the recessed portions 16 and 16 'at the upper end and tightened. In this way, the partition panels 11 and 11 'are held by the coupling piece 19 and the coupling plate 21, and the rod body 18 is fitted into the concave grooves 14 and 14', so that the horizontal displacement is firmly prevented, and both connection end faces are secured. Light leakage between them is prevented.

In this example, the notches 17,17,17 ', 17' are the connecting pieces 19,
The connecting plate 21 and the tightening screw 24 are for preventing the partition panels 11 and 11 'from projecting to the upper and lower ends thereof, and the cutout may be omitted in applications where these projections do not hinder. Further, the spring 28 has a connecting plate 21 when the tightening screw 24 is loosened.
This is for facilitating the work of separating the partition panels 11 and 11 'by lifting them up, and the spring 28 may be omitted when the separation is not performed.

Effect of the Invention As described above, the connection structure of the present invention is such that the partition panel, joint, etc. to be connected are hooked and held vertically by the connecting piece and the tip of the connecting plate, and this connecting piece and connecting plate are
The work is extremely simple and efficient because it is tightened with one tightening screw through the rod.

That is, when connecting the partition panel, it suffices to hook the connecting piece and the connecting plate and tighten the 1 tightening screw of the connecting plate portion. As a result, the connecting end faces are brought close to each other by the inclined ends of the connecting piece and the connecting plate and fixed.
Also, when separating, it is sufficient to loosen the tightening screw and remove the connecting piece and the connecting plate. In particular, when a spring is provided, when the tightening screw is loosened, the connecting plate separates from the rod body by itself, and the connecting piece and the connecting plate come off.

In addition, if a groove is formed on both connection end faces and a rod is fitted into this groove, high strength is obtained because the rod acts to prevent horizontal displacement, and at the same time light leakage between the connection end faces is achieved. Can also be prevented.

Further, if the rod body is attached to the connecting end face of 1 so as to be vertically movable, workability is further improved.
