Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a window device in a partitioning device, and more particularly, to a light-transmitting plate in a part of a simple partitioning type partitioning device constructed by connecting a plurality of partitioning panels via columns. The present invention relates to a window device equipped with a window.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a simple partitioning system of a partition type, which is constructed by connecting a plurality of partitioning panels via a support,
Various are provided. It is also known to form a light-transmitting window by attaching a light-transmitting plate such as a glass plate or a resin glass plate to a part of the upper part of the partition panel.

Conventionally, when a window is formed in a partition panel,
A concave groove is formed at the upper end of the lower panel provided at the lower part between the two columns, and a similar concave groove is formed at the lower surface of the upper frame rod which is installed between the upper ends of the two columns by screws or the like, and a transparent groove is formed on the inner surface side. In general, a frame member having a slit for holding a light plate is fitted in each of the grooves, and the upper and lower edges of the light transmitting plate are inserted into and supported by the slits of the upper and lower frame members. In this case, the side edges of the light-transmitting plate are merely adjacent to the side surfaces of the columns on both sides. Therefore, when an external force is applied from the surface side of the light-transmitting plate, the central portion of the light-transmitting plate bends and is very unstable. In an extreme case, the light-transmitting plate may fall off.

Incidentally, a partition panel used for a rigid partition wall having a high rigidity generally has a structure in which the entire periphery of a light-transmitting plate is held by a frame member. In order to attach the frame member to the side surface of the device, a separate member must be fixed, which increases the cost and is not actually employed.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above situation, the present invention is directed to a structure in which a window is formed by attaching a light-transmitting plate to a part of a partition type simple partitioning device. Another object of the present invention is to provide a window device in a partitioning device in which the operation of mounting the light-transmitting plate can be easily performed, the supporting strength of the light-transmitting plate is high, and there is no risk of falling off.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a partitioning device in which a plurality of partition panels are connected via a support, wherein the support has a longitudinal direction along each side surface. A connection groove with an opening edge narrower than the inside is formed, a lower panel with an upper concave groove on the upper end surface is attached to the lower part between both columns, and a slit that holds the translucent plate on the entire length in the longitudinal direction on the inner surface side is opened. A frame member provided with leg pieces is mounted on the mounting surface on the opposite side thereof by fitting the leg pieces into the upper concave groove of the lower panel and the connecting groove of both columns, and the lower and both side portions are fitted. The lower edge and both side edges of the light-transmitting plate are inserted into the slits of the frame member, and locking pieces projecting from both side ends of an upper frame rod having an opening groove in the lower surface in a longitudinal direction are provided on opposite surfaces of the two columns. Slide engagement from above into the connection groove on the side and insert the leg piece into the opening groove The insert the upper edge of the transparent plate into the slit of wearing the frame member, to constitute a window device in a partition system formed by retaining the upper frame rod by fitting the top cap on the upper end of the two posts.

[0007] Here, two parallel connecting grooves are formed on each side surface of the support column, and locking edges are formed inward from the outer edges of the two connecting grooves along the side surfaces. To form two leg pieces to be locked to the both locking edges along the longitudinal direction,
It is preferable that the distance between the locking edges and the width of the upper concave groove of the lower panel and the width of the opening groove of the upper frame rod substantially coincide with each other because the supporting strength of the light transmitting plate is improved.

Further, the frame member is a hollow member having a flattened semicircular cross-sectional shape, wherein the slit is formed at the center of the circular arc surface, and the leg piece is projected from a flat mounting surface. This is more preferable because the light transmitting plate can be held elastically and the thickness of the frame member is inconspicuous.
