Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a movable partition wall for partitioning a living room space into an arbitrary size.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In order to use a large space such as a hall for multiple purposes, a movable partition wall capable of changing a partition position at any time is used. The movable partition wall is constructed such that a partition wall is erected on a rail provided on a ceiling to partition a living room according to a purpose of use.

[0003] However, since it is not possible to imagine how the living room is partitioned, as shown in FIG. 8, an outlet 66 and a lighting fixture 68 are provided for each space divided by rails 64.
However, it is necessary to arrange a plug 70 that can be added in advance, which has increased the cost.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above, the present invention provides a movable partition wall in which necessary electric equipment can be arranged at an arbitrary position corresponding to a space partitioned by the partition wall. Make it an issue.

[0005]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, the movable partition wall is built on a rail provided on the ceiling so that the room space can be partitioned freely.
A power supply plate extends from the rail, and a plug is electrically connected when the partition wall is built. The plug is connected to an outlet by a cord, and the outlet is arranged on a partition wall.

As described above, by arranging the outlet on the partition wall and allowing the plug to be electrically connected no matter where the partition wall is erected, the plug can be electrically connected to each space divided by the rail. There is no need to arrange outlets, and outlets can be placed at any position.

[0007] In the movable partition wall according to the second aspect, a guide pin that fits with the rail is protruded from an upper end surface of the partition wall. By fitting this guide pin to the rail,
The wall surfaces formed by the adjacent partition walls can be flush.

In the movable partition wall according to the third aspect, the rack means penetrates the lower end face of the partition wall, and the baseboard is supported by the rack means. The rack means is meshed with a gear means. When the gear means is rotated, the rack means moves up and down to move the baseboard up and down. The gear means is fixed to the shaft. The shaft can be turned from the wall surface of the partition wall.

With this configuration, the shaft can be swung from the wall surface side of the partition wall, the baseboard is pushed down, and the partition wall can be easily fixed in a state where the partition wall is stretched between the ceiling and the floor.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, a movable partition wall according to the present embodiment includes a partition wall 14 built on a channel-like rail 12 disposed on a ceiling 10. FIG.

The rail 12 is fitted into a channel-shaped rail receiver 16 embedded in the ceiling 10. As shown in FIG. 6, the rail 12 is used in this embodiment so that the living room 18 can be used for multiple purposes. It is arranged so that it can be divided into four rooms.

A bracket 20 projects from the inside of the rail 12, and an electrode plate 22 is attached to the bracket 20. This electrode plate 22
Extend along the rail 12.

On the other hand, an insertion hole 26 is formed at the center of the connecting girder 24 of the partition wall 14. A cord 28 is inserted through the insertion hole 26. A plug 30 is connected to an upper end of the cord 28, and a lower end of the cord 28 is connected to an outlet 32 arranged on a panel 14A of the partition wall 14.

On the side surface of the plug 30, contact pieces 34 protrude in a direction away from each other (see FIG. 4). The contact piece 34 is inserted into the guide groove 36 of the rail 12 formed by the flange 12A, as shown in FIG.
By rotating 0 around a vertical line by 90 °, as shown in FIG. 4, it is fixed so as to project between the electrode plates 22. As a result, the plug 30 is connected to the electrode plate 2
2 is connected to the outlet 3 via the cord 28.
2 is supplied.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 5, screw holes 38 are formed at both ends of the connecting girder 24. The male screw portion 40A of the guide pin 40 is screwed into the screw hole 38. The guide pin 40 is fitted in the guide groove 36 of the rail 12, and fixes the partition wall 14 in a state of being aligned along the rail 12. Thereby, the wall surfaces formed by the adjacent partition walls 14 can be flush.

Further, the lower joint beam 42 has a through hole 4
4 are formed. The through hole 44 has a plate 4
6 is slidably inserted up and down. Plate 4
6, a base portion 4 of a channel-shaped baseboard 48 is provided.
8A is fixed.

A rack 50 is formed above the plate 46 along the vertical direction. This rack 50
Is meshed with the pinion gear 52. The pinion gear 52 is fixed to a shaft 54 whose both ends are rotatably supported by the panel portion 14A. A thread groove 56 is formed on the end surface of the shaft 54, and the panel portion 14A
The shaft 54 can be turned by a driver or the like from outside.

With this configuration, the shaft 5 can be
By rotating the base 4 and pushing down the baseboard 48 downward, the partition wall 14 can be fixed between the ceiling 10 and the floor 58 in a stretched state.

A rubber rim 60 is attached to the upper corner of the partition wall 14. When the partition wall 14 is stretched by the baseboard 48, the partition wall 14 elastically deforms and comes into close contact with the ceiling 10. As a result, the rails 12 are not visible from the interior of the living room, so that the appearance is improved, the draft is less likely to enter, and the sound insulation is also improved. By attaching an elastic member to the bottom surface of the baseboard 48, performance such as sound insulation properties is further improved.

Next, a method of constructing the movable partition wall according to this embodiment will be described.

As shown in FIG. 6, a case where a living room 18 used without being partitioned by the partition wall 14 is partitioned into two living rooms 18A and 18B as shown in FIG.
The lighting fixture 62 attached to the center rail 12 is removed, and the partition wall 14 is built on the rail 12.

Here, the lighting fixture 62 is also provided with the plug (not shown) as described above, so that power is supplied regardless of the position on the rail 12.
They are arranged on rails 12 of living rooms 18A and 18B, respectively.

Next, as shown in FIG.
Is tilted to fix the plug 30 to the center rail 12, and then the partition wall 14 is erected as shown in FIG. 4 and the guide pins 40 are inserted as shown in FIG. Into the guide groove 36. Here, the shaft 54 is turned to push down the baseboard 48, and the partition wall 14 is turned off.
Is fixed between the ceiling 10 and the floor 58.

[0024] Thus, without having to arrange outlets in advance for each space divided by the rails 12, two living rooms 1
The outlet 32 can be arranged at any position of 8A and 18B. In this embodiment, only one outlet 32 is provided on the partition wall 14. However, the outlets 32 may be arranged on both surfaces of the panel portion 14A of one partition wall 14.

[0025]

As described above, according to the first aspect of the present invention, there is no need to arrange outlets for each space divided by rails, and the outlets can be arranged at any positions.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, by fitting the guide pins to the rails, the wall surfaces formed by the adjacent partition walls can be flush.

According to the third aspect of the present invention, the baseboard is pushed down, and the partition wall can be easily fixed in a state where the partition wall is stretched between the ceiling and the floor.
