Abstract

A partitioning system consists of separate panels (A,B) which can slide between lower and upper horizontal rails (4,5) and be fitted and removed individually. Each panel is made from two identical walls (1) with top and bottom ribs (8,8') to engage with the rails, and vertical end ribs (7,7') for fixing connecting strips (2) which join each pair of walls together. The connecting strips (2) have projecting ribs (17) which are joined by fasteners (3) when two adjacent panels are fitted together. Each fastener comprises two components which can be rotated relative to one another one which fits over the edges of the two connecting strips, and the other which locks it in place, e.g. with the aid of cams.

Description

Linked Vertical Partition System

The present invention relates to a connected vertical partition system, and more particularly, a plurality of partitions installed between two horizontally positioned pedestals up and down can be connected by metal plates and independently disassembled, thereby providing a cabinet such as a wardrobe or a bookcase. It relates to a connected vertical partition system that can be combined to form a built-in furniture.

In general, partition systems are made of prefabricated furniture, such as wardrobes or bookcases, by deflecting several plates, providing some amount of space between the plates that make up the partitions, and to facilitate dismantling. Should be secured. Such a partition is used by connecting two plates of the same shape by a metal plate. Here, since the metal plate is about 3 mm longer than the groove, the gap between the two partitions is about 6 mm. As such, the gap between the partitions is narrow, so a connection device that can be operated in a narrow space is essential. As a result, a gap corresponding to 6 mm is created vertically between the two partitions, so it is necessary to install the connecting device between the partitions so that they cannot be seen from the side.

The conventional partition system having such a configuration has a problem that, since the shape and installation of the metal plate is very complicated, a gap is generated between the two partitions to be connected and another auxiliary device is required to provide a smooth surface.

An object of the present invention devised to solve the above problems is to provide a connected vertical partition system that can improve the assembly by minimizing the gap generated between the two partitions.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a connected vertical partition system that can be used as auxiliary furniture in the form of built-in furniture by combining a storage cabinet, such as a closet or bookcase.

The object of the present invention described above is to be erected between the lower and upper pedestals having two horizontal long horizontal grooves, which are composed of two identical partition outer walls, the partitions being symmetric to each other, and bent inward from each partition outer wall. Arranged in the groove provided by the side borders to connect the partitions, both edges of the metal plate is formed in the interlocking form and the support is formed perpendicular to the partition outer wall, the connection is mounted on the support to connect the partitions It is achieved by a connected vertical partition system which is made up of rings.

In the partition system according to the present invention, two cams are connected by attaching a cam to both ends of the metal plate. Another concept developed to solve the space constraint was to create a long vertical long groove outward from both ends of the metal plate. One end of this long groove forms the support of a metal plate, and the other end is in contact with the outer wall of the partition. In this state, the above-mentioned connecting ring connects the support of the metal plate. The cam connecting the two partitions consists of two rotary connectors. The first connection member is grooved so that when the two partitions meet, the support of the metal plate connected to the side partition enters, and the second connection member is configured to fix the first connection member so that the two metal plates are not disassembled. .

The first connecting member of the connecting ring is a parallel hexahedron whose shape is narrower than a gap formed between two partitions. In addition, the second connection member is configured to be rotatable while entering the U-shaped uneven portion located on the opposite surface of the groove.

The first and second connecting members connecting the two partitions have the shape of a parallel hexagonal body as a whole and are cleverly hidden in the gaps between the partitions.

The second connecting member also has a parallelepiped with two rotating cylindrical protruding members. One of the two protruding members is inserted into the hole of the first connecting member to serve as a rotating shaft, and the other is grooved and can be rotated using an appropriate tool.

The above is briefly summarized as follows. Two protrusions are formed in the first connection member, and grooves are formed between the protrusions in which the second connection member is rotatably mounted about the central axis.

The tools used for these tasks range from flat screwdrivers to special drivers such as rectangles and stars.

The second connecting member serves as a locking device to prevent the disassembly of the two metal plates engaged in the grooves on the rear side of the first connecting member.

A cam is attached to the second connecting member made to abut on the inner surface of the metal plate side surface. At this time, the cam serves to facilitate contact between the second connecting member and the side of the metal plate when the second connecting member is rotated clockwise by TT / 2 rad.

The name "link-cam" (hereafter collectively referred to as link) comes from that. The first connecting member is pushed by the rotational force, and the support of the metal plate connecting the two partitions reaches the vertical groove to lock the connecting ring. After locking the connection rings, the first and second connection members are perpendicular to each other.

Connected vertical partition system according to the present invention is easy to manufacture and install without using a lot of equipment, there is no special order or method when assembling. Therefore, careful consideration should be given to overall harmony and balance from the design stage.

For example, the second connecting member of the connecting ring is very delicately designed to be symmetrical about the axis of rotation. Similarly, the first connecting member is symmetrical with respect to both the longitudinal line and the transverse line passing through the center of the groove on the back side.

The metal plate and the partition outer wall are then symmetrical with respect to the longitudinal and transverse lines passing through the center of the bent side of the outer wall.

The partition system of the present invention can, of course, be stored in various arrangement directions.

For example, if you want to install a second partition perpendicular to the first partition, you must leave a minimum gap to change the direction.

The metal plate can also be connected to the metal plate located at the end or the corner of the partition. In this case, the gap between the partitions is the same as the partition connected in a line.

This will be described in more detail as follows. The metal plate is used to change the direction of the partition arrangement, and it can be seen that two projections are formed inside the metal plate at the cross section of the vertical side thereof. A joint is placed between the protrusions, and a screw is inserted between the two joints to tighten the gap between the metal plates. At this time, the head of the screw is moved in the gap created by the outer groove of the two metal plates.

Each of the protrusions has a columnar joint, one of which is in contact with the partition outer wall, it is possible to change the direction of the partition.

The metal plate used to change the direction of the partition is placed in the gap between the two partitions, where the head of the connecting screw slides into the outer groove of the metal plate.

In some cases, it is necessary to change the direction so that the partitions form corners. In this case, instead of removing one partition, insert a column that will act as a partition side.

Again, to extend the partition, simply reverse this process.

However, if you want to make the outer wall more aesthetically while changing the direction of the partition, it is preferable to use an edge partition that is not extendable.

These corner partitions are usually joined using special metal plates that are different from the metal plates.

The special metal plate connecting these corner partitions consists of two half plates made by cutting a normal metal plate vertically along a center line so that both sides are symmetrical.

One of the important features of the vertical partition system according to the invention is that the two symmetrical outer walls constituting the partition can be disassembled separately from the partition.

Therefore, this system has the great advantage that it can be used as an auxiliary furniture for the cabinet. For example, the corner divider discussed above can be used as a floor or side wall of a cabinet, which is a perfect cabinet with a door.

In this case, the connection method or the arrangement direction change method is the same as described above.

However, the side partition must consist of two outer walls that can be dismantled independently, which will be explained in more detail later. And when the cabinet is made, it is necessary to transform the partition into the desired cabinet shape.

As a result, the partition system according to the present invention can be utilized in various forms such as making a cabinet or using only a partition.

One caveat when installing multiple cabinets in a row is that the side partitions must consist of two different exterior walls. This is because it is possible to install various parts for attaching the shelves or doors.

If the cabinet is located at the corner, one side wall may be a regular partition.

When installing the cabinet, the door can be made of wood or glass, depending on your preference. It's also a good idea to put a thin layer on the bottom of the cabinet. To install the shelves, attach the appropriate auxiliary devices.

Such a cabinet installation method has several advantages. For example, if the cabinet is to be dismantled, the interior wall of the cabinet specially manufactured can be easily replaced with a general wall.

And if you want to install another cabinet, you can reverse the above process. In other words, you just need to replace the existing inner wall with a wall that fits in the cabinet.

Even if the partition is repositioned or the partition is removed or extended, the cabinet does not change and the acoustic conditions of the room do not change at all. For example, if you want to replace a regular partition with a compartment with a cabinet, simply change the side walls. I will explain more about this later.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described in detail with respect to the connected vertical partition system according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

1 is a perspective view showing a partition of the present invention, some parts are omitted to clearly show the internal structure, Figure 1a is a perspective view showing an enlarged connecting-cam, Figure 2 is a form of a metal plate according to the present invention And a cross-sectional view showing a fixed state, Figure 3 is a cross-sectional view showing a state of use of the L-shaped metal plate of the extensible form according to the present invention, Figure 4 is a cross-sectional view showing a state of use of the non-extensible type L-shaped metal plate according to the present invention. 5 is a cross-sectional view showing a state of use of the T-shaped metal plate according to the present invention, and FIGS. 6A to 6F are perspective views showing various installation shapes of partition walls.

Figure 1 shows the connection of the partition (A) and (B). In this figure, the shape of the partition (B) is incompletely illustrated to show the inside of the metal plate (2), the linkage (3) and the partition (1). In this figure, it is also seen that long grooves are formed in the lower pedestal 4 and the upper pedestal 5, which support the partitions (A) and (B).

The upper link (3) is represented by two pictures, with the partition and the link away from each other in a vertical gap (6) between the two interlocking metal plates. It is locked in the gap (6). In the latter case, the upper part of the metal plate 2 connected to the partition B is omitted, so it is clearly understood.

The connecting ring 3 located at the bottom is also locked into the gap between the outer side 18 of the metal plate 2.

Looking at the interior of the partition outer wall 1 constituting the partition (B) it can be seen that the side rims (7, 7 ') are folded inward. The upper and lower locking pieces 8 and 8 'of the partition outer wall 1 are engaged with the lower and upper pedestals 4 and 5.

Figure 1a shows an enlargement of the connecting ring (3) showing the locking portion and the insertion portion. Here, two fittings 9 and 10 of parallel hexahedron constituting the connecting ring 3 can be seen here.

One side of the first fitting member 9, which is the first accessory, has a vertically long groove 11, and the support 20 inside both ends of the metal plate 2 enters the groove 11.

On the opposite side, two projections 12 and 12 'are formed, and between the projections 12 and 12', there is a recessed groove 13, and in the groove 13, a second connecting member 10 which is a parallel hexagonal body is formed. I'm in. The second connecting member 10 has a cylindrical protruding member 14 attached thereto, and a female threaded screw groove 15 is formed therein.

And the cam 16 is attached to the same surface symmetrically with respect to a rotating shaft. When the cam is turned clockwise, the metal plate 2 enters into the long groove 17 and comes into contact with the inside of the wall surface 18 which is parallel to the partition outer wall 1.

2 to 5 show a more detailed cross-sectional view of the metal plate, showing how the two metal plates are connected and consequently the two partitions.

For example, in FIG. 2, the exact shape of the metal plate 2 shown at the end of the partition can be seen. However, in this drawing, the partition 1 is briefly shown for ease of explanation.

The metal plate 2 forms a U-shaped space 19 at the center and two long grooves 17 at both ends of the U-shaped. At this time, the two long grooves 17, both ends are bent vertically, one end is a support 20 to act as a pedestal and the other end is in contact with the wall surface 18.

Looking at the cross section of the partition outer wall 1, the side surface is bent at a nearly 100% right angle, thus exhibiting a T-shape.

When the two metal plates are engaged with each other, when viewed in cross section, one rectangular space is formed, and there are two long vertical gaps 6 caused by the long groove 17 therein.

The connecting ring 3 is positioned between the long gap 6 with the cylindrical protruding member 14, which has a cylindrical protruding member 14 and a screw groove 15 therein. It is dug up and connects with the device extending towards the gap 21 between the two partitions. At this time, the hole 21 formed between the two partitions is filled with the joint 22 so as to be smooth when viewed from the outside.

In FIG. 3 two new parts can be seen, one of which is a metal plate 23 which allows the arrangement direction to be changed and the other of which is the column 24 with the partition at the end. Both of these accessories are connected to the U-shaped metal plate 25, which makes it possible to fix the metal plate 2 only on one side. If you want to extend the partition further here, the column 24 may be replaced with a partition. The two joints 29, 29 ′ are located between the protrusions 30, 30 ′ of the metal plate 23. The metal plate 23 is fixed between the gap 21 which arises between the two partitions connected, or between the partition and the metal plate 24.

The screw 31 is mounted on the metal plate 23, and the screw head is positioned on the wall surface 18 lying on the extension line of the partition outer wall 1. Thus, the screw 31 slides over the gap 6 formed by the two long grooves 17 and reaches the hole of the metal plate 23.

As a result, the metal plate connected to the pillar 24 consists of two metal plates 26 and 26 'which perform virtually the same function as the entire metal plate 2.

In FIG. 4, the non-extending edge metal plate 27 is illustrated. The metal plate is composed of two half metal plates 26 and 26 ', in which case the metal plates 26 and 26' are perpendicular to each other. In addition, the inner corner portion connection is made of an L-shaped metal joint 28.

5 shows a T-shaped connection, which is made in the same context as the L-shaped connection seen in FIG. However, the difference is that the metal plate 24 of the corner portion is changed to a partition.

6a to 6f shows a state in which the partition is transformed into various types of storage cabinets.

In Figure 6b can be seen dismantling the cabinet and changing the position of the partition.

To change the partition position as shown in FIG. 6A and 6B, first, the support 40 is removed and another partition is installed at a desired position. The lower pedestal 4 and the upper pedestal 5 supporting the partition are moved to a desired position and connected to the pedestal of the side plate 41 between the storage closet and the storage closet. Then, it moves to the base which installed the partition 42.

To disassemble the cabinet of FIG. 6A, first, the door 43 is removed to reveal the cabinet interior shelves. To disassemble the side walls of the cabinet, first remove the support 46, remove the side partitions 47, 47 'and finally remove the bottom, upper pedestals 48, 48'.

Finally, the side walls 49 of the cabinet are replaced with simple partitions, such as the side partitions 47, which have been removed a short time since there are traces of installing the shelves.

The partition position change operation as described above can be performed quickly without any disruption to the partition, and does not require any special tools.

According to the present invention described above, two partitions can be easily assembled and disassembled by using a connecting ring composed of a first connecting member and a second connecting member, and a cabinet such as a wardrobe or a bookcase is combined to provide a built-in furniture. There is an advantage to form.
