Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To freely change and adjust a low partition according to a layout of an office, facilitate manufacture, and enable electric wiring by connecting vertical members of a quadrangular frame body between both studs by bringing the studs into close contact with them, and forming it as a knockdown system by connecting a horizontal sash bar to the stud upper ends. SOLUTION: A frame body 2 is formed in a rectangular shape by welding both vertical members 5 and 5 and upper and lower horizontal members 6 and 6 together, and studs 1 and 1 are fixed in close contact to the vertical members 5 and 5 of the frame body 2, and as a result, the studs 1 and 1 vertically stand up, and also become a strong frame by hookingly installing a horizontal sash bar 3 on the upper ends. A space 14 is formed between a panel 9 and the frame body 2 by reducing a thickness of the frame body 2 more than a stud width, and an electric cord is housed by using this space 14. Since the frame is formed as a knockdown system, a height and a width of the frame can be changed by selecting a height of the studs 1 or a width of the frame body 2 and a length of the horizontal sash bar 3, and a layout can be changed and adjusted while seizing a situation of the whole office. A manufacturing cost is also reduced, and transport and storage can also be facilitated.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a low partition for forming a private space, and more particularly to a low partition characterized by a frame as a frame.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A low partition has various structures, such as a structure in which studs are interposed between panels or an integrated frame serving as a frame, and panels are attached to both sides of the frame. Some are connected in between. In this case, a low partition may be formed by directly connecting panels or frames without intervening studs.

The present invention is directed to a low partition of a type having a frame and panels attached to both sides of the frame. To change the height and width (length) of the low partition, the above method is used. You have to change the frame. That is, a robust and stable raw partition can be formed by providing a frame, but the size cannot be freely changed.

Therefore, when the size is changed, the frame itself must be made a suitable size, and the conventional integrated frame lacks versatility. Therefore, it is impossible to install a low partition suitable for the office layout on the site side. Although the use of the integral frame results in a stable and stable low partition, the weight is large and the manufacturing cost is high.

[0005] Due to its function, the low partition is often used in offices, and the use of the low partition in order to operate OA equipment such as a personal computer increases the work efficiency. Therefore, there are many cases where electric wiring for connecting to these OA devices becomes a problem. Conventionally, wiring is performed on the floor, but workability is extremely poor and troublesome, and the electric wiring on the floor is an obstacle. Often.

[0006]

The above-mentioned problems are encountered in the low partition of the type in which the integrated frame is provided and the panels are attached to both sides of the frame. The problems to be solved by the present invention are these problems. A low partition that can be freely changed and adjusted in size according to the layout of the office, is easy to manufacture, is inexpensive, and can be wired with an electric cord. I will provide a.

[0007]

The low partition of the present invention is constructed by assembling a frame and attaching panels to both sides of the frame. That is, an assembled frame is used instead of an integrated frame. Therefore, both studs are connected via a frame between studs that stand upright at a predetermined distance, and a horizontal rail is attached to the upper end of the stud. The connection structure between the frame and the stud is not particularly limited, but has a structure that can be hooked through a claw or screwed.

An adjuster for height adjustment is attached to the lower end of the stud. Here, the frame is formed of a four-sided frame, the height of which is lower than the stud, and the thickness of which may be smaller than the stud. Accordingly, both studs constitute a strong and stable frame via the frame, and the panel is fixed to the studs. By the way, if the panel is fixed to the stud, if the thickness of the frame is smaller than the width of the stud, a space is formed between the panel and the frame, and an electric cord can be wired in this space. Hereinafter, embodiments according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

[0009]

FIG. 1 is an exploded view of a frame constituting a low partition according to the present invention, in which 1 denotes a stud, 2 denotes a frame, and 3 denotes a cross rail. An adjuster screw 4 is attached to the lower end of the stud, and the height of the stud 1 is appropriately set by adjusting the adjuster screw 4. The frame is constructed by assembling the studs 1, 1, the frame 2, and the cross rail 3, and a panel is attached to the frame.

FIG. 2 shows a front view of the assembled frame. As described above, the frame 2 is connected to the lower ends of the studs 1 and 1, and the horizontal rail 3 is connected to the upper ends of the studs 1 and 1. Accordingly, the frame 2 forms a rectangle in which the two vertical members 5, 5 and the upper and lower horizontal members 6, 6 are welded, and the studs 1, 1 are fixed to the vertical members 5, 5 of the frame 2 in close contact with each other. The studs 1 and 1 stand upright and a horizontal frame 3 is hung on the upper end to form a sturdy frame.

Here, the connection structure between the stud 1 and the frame 2 is not particularly limited, but nails 7 and 7 are provided at the upper and lower ends of the vertical member 5 and slit grooves 8 and 8 are formed on the stud side. Locking the pawl 7 in the slit groove 8 enables easy connection. Furthermore, if the stud 1 is screwed at the middle part of the vertical member 5, the connection is made more firm. FIG. 3 is an enlarged view of a portion A of FIG. 2, in which a claw 7 provided on the frame 2 is fitted into a slit groove 8 formed on the stud 1.
By forming the claws 7 obliquely downward, the studs 1 adhere to the vertical members 5 of the frame 2, and as a result, the studs 1 stably stand.

[0013] Similarly, claws are provided at both ends of the horizontal rail 3, and are fixed to the upper ends of the studs. The size of the low partition will be determined by the vertical and horizontal dimensions of the frame, but by changing the height of the studs, the frame will have a different height even if the same frame and the same horizontal rail are used . However, it is necessary to change the length of the cross member 6 and the cross bar 3 of the frame 2 for the width of the frame, but the size of the non-integral frame can be changed according to the installation location. The height of the stud can be made higher by adding another member as shown in FIG. Of course, you are free to choose one real stud with a different height.

By the way, a low partition is formed by attaching a panel to this assembling frame as in the past, but the mounting form of the panel is arbitrary. Generally, claws are used and hooked. FIG. 5 shows a part of the back surface of the panel 9, and claws 12 and 13 are attached to a fastening piece 11 formed by bending a side end of the surface material 10. A locking hole and a fitting hole are formed in the stud 1, and the lower claw 13 fits into the locking hole to support the panel,
On the other hand, the upper claws 12 fit into the fitting holes to prevent the panel from falling down.

Of course, it is also possible to attach the panel by screwing the fixing pieces instead of the claws 12 and 13. And since it is a low partition, a cloth is often stuck on the surface material 10. Also, one on one side of the frame
It is not limited to the case where a single panel is attached, and a plurality of small panels may be used. FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view when the panels 9 and 9 are attached to the studs 1 and 1, however, since the thickness of the frame 2 is smaller than the stud width, there is no space between the panel 9 and the frame 2. The space 14 will be left.

Therefore, in the low partition of the present invention, the electric cords 15, 15,... In this manner, the electric cord 15 is wired in the low partition and is led out from an appropriate position, and for that purpose, a hole 16 penetrates the stud as shown in FIG. Of course, the hole 16 is not necessary unless the space 14 is left between the frame 2 and the panel with the thickness of the frame 2 being equal to the stud width. As described above, the low partition of the present invention is obtained by attaching the panel to the assembly type frame, and can obtain the following effects.

[0016]

According to the low partition of the present invention, a frame is attached between both studs, and a frame is formed by bridging a horizontal rail at the upper end of the stud, and panels are attached to both sides of the frame. And since the frame is not an integral type but an assembling type, the height of the frame can be changed by appropriately selecting the height of the studs, and the width of the frame and the length of the cross beam can be selected. To change the frame width. Consequently, the size of the low partition can be freely changed and installed on the site side. That is, the layout on the site side can be realized after grasping the situation of the entire office. By not using an integrated frame, the manufacturing cost is reduced, and transport and storage are facilitated.

On the other hand, by making the thickness of the frame attached between the studs smaller than the stud width, a space is left between the panel and the frame. Therefore, the electric cord can be wired using this space, and the electric cord can be accommodated in the low partition without going over the floor by penetrating the hole in the stud, and the appearance In addition, the wiring work becomes convenient.
