Before and after the cushioning member 30 contacts the upper plate 28A of the pressing member 28, a large difference is generated in the rotational driving force for rotating the operation screw shaft 13. Therefore, it is felt by hand that the rotational driving force has changed. Thus, it is possible to recognize the elastic pressure contact state by the upper pressure contact means 10.

It is also possible to form a rack on the driving plate 24 and the driven plate 25 instead of the chains 24A and 25A, and to use a pinion instead of the sprocket 26. Further, it is also possible to employ a mechanism for linearly reversing various transmission forces for converting downward movement into upward movement.

The left and right upper pressing means 10, 10 are formed by using the pressing member 28 as a long member provided along the upper horizontal frame 5, so that the pressing member 28 can be used by using the long pressing member 28. It is also possible to use two common upper pressure contact means.

Next, the lower pressure contact means 11 will be described with reference to FIGS. A lower end of the cord body 19 is located in the lower horizontal frame 6 that is opened downward, and an interlocking rod 31 is disposed so as to be movable along the horizontal frame 6. The central part of the pressing rod 32 is pivotally connected to a plurality of locations by a pivot 33, and the upper end of the pressing rod 32 is laterally inclined in a posture inclined above the pivot 33 toward the end of the cable body 19. While being pivotally connected to the frame 6 by a pivot 34, the two members fixed to each other with an intermediate member 36 having a U-shaped cross section opened upward between a pair of grounding plates 35, 35 are vertically mounted on the lower portion of the horizontal frame 6. It is movably disposed, and has a structure in which the lower end of the pressing rod 32 is in contact with the upper surface of a rubber cushioning member 37 fixed on the bottom plate 36A of the intermediate member 36. Then, by operating the operation unit 9 and rotating the operation screw shaft 13 in one direction, the cable rod 19 is pulled up and raised, whereby the interlocking rod 31 moves, and the pressing rod 32 The lower portion rotates downward, and presses the cushioning member 37 downward, and through the cushioning member 37, the ground plates 35, 35
Is elastically pressed against the floor surface B.

Finally, referring to FIG.
Will be described. The rod 22 is vertically movably disposed in the vertical frame 4, and a rack 38 is provided above the rod 22 at a side end of the partition panel 1.

1 to be able to rotate and project. Further, a gear portion 39B that meshes with the rack 38 is formed above the base end edge of the latch 39, and a linear portion 39C that does not mesh with the rack 38 is formed below. The rod 2
2 below the base of the latch 39,
An engagement holding pin 42 that forcibly abuts the base end of the latch 9 and an engagement release pin 43 that forcibly presses down the base end of the latch 39 protrude upward.

Here, before the partition panel 1 is connected to the existing partition panel C, the rod 22 is at a lower position, and the base end of the latch 39 is pushed down by the disengagement pin 43 so that the gear The portion 39B is not engaged with the rack 38, and the downward hook 39A is in the raised position. When the partition panel 1 is arranged at a predetermined connection position and the operation unit 9 is operated to rotate the operation screw shaft 13 in one direction, the rod 22 moves upward via the interlocking rod 23 and As the release pin 43 is raised, the downward hook 39A is lowered, and the gear 39B is eventually connected to the rack 3A.
8, the rack 38 rotates about the pivot 40 with the rise of the rod 22, and the downward hook 39A
Locking pin 44 provided in the vertical frame 3 of the existing partition panel C
At the same time, the gear portion 39B separates from the rack 38 so that the linear portion 39C faces the rack 38. Finally, the engagement holding pin 42 regulates the downward movement of the base end of the latch 39, and reliably holds the engagement state between the downward hook 39A and the locking pin 44.
If the gear portion 39B immediately meshes with the rack 38 when the downward hook 39A suddenly rises in the direction in which the downward hook 39A comes off from the locking pin 44, the engagement holding pin 42
Is not necessary.

When the operation screw shaft 13 is rotated in the reverse direction, the rod 22 descends, and the disengagement pin 43 immediately pushes down the base end of the latch 39 to engage the downward hook 39A with the locking pin 44. Is released, and thereafter, the gear portion 39B
Are engaged with the rack 38, and the downward hook 39A is rotated and stored into the opening 41 as the rod 22 descends. That is, the engagement means 12 of the present embodiment is configured such that the interlocking rod 23 controls the movement amount of the
Since the speed reduction means for reducing the amount of vertical movement of the gears and the meshing relationship between the gear portion 39B and the rack 38 are adjusted, the existing partition panel is pressed after the vertical pressing means 10 and 11 press against the ceiling surface A and the floor surface B. C, and the engagement mechanism is released before the vertical pressure contact means 10 and 11 are released by the engagement release pin 43 or the like.

The vertical pressing means 1 employs a clutch mechanism or the like having the same function as the differential mechanism of the engaging means 12.
It is possible to prevent the operation of the engagement means 12 from interlocking with 0 and 11 in direct proportion.
