Description

Modular office partitions and partition members and installation methods

Modular office furniture systems are widely used for interior design of offices. The use of partition members in such a modular office furniture system makes it possible to use office space more efficiently. In recent years, dividing each office into a permanent wall is almost excluded from the office design. As a result, the office tenant can minimize the renovation cost of the leased office, and can be easily assembled and disassembled by modular assembly, so that the office can be emptied quickly.

In addition, the conventional office partition structure is generally made of a hollow rectangular frame made by pressing steel plates into a channel shape, and electrical wiring and a communication cable are installed in the hollow part of the inside to open holes drilled in the web part of the frame member. It can pass through the bulkhead through. In addition, the partition member is connected at both ends of the frame member in the vertical direction to form various geometric patterns, and an exterior panel is attached thereto to cover the support frame and the wirings.

On the other hand, the frame member is often arranged in the vertical direction slots are formed at regular intervals along the longitudinal direction, so that the latch extending from the exterior panel is caught in this slot. In the same way, various components such as drawers, desk tops, and filing cabinets of modular office furniture systems are assembled to the partition members to form a modular structural assembly.

In producing the conventional partition frame as described above, it is necessary to perform the assembling work with a predetermined tool and an assembling apparatus. For example, if the frame member is made of steel plated channels, the hole is made in the steel plate for wiring, notches necessary for connecting with other frame members, and slots for hanging ornaments in the flat parts of the frame members. After forming the blank, the blank is formed by pressing the roller or press machine into a channel shape. The molded channels are thus fitted together by a jig and welded together to ensure a firm connection to each other.

However, in the case of using frame members having different sizes or using frame members having various shapes, the assembling apparatus has to be changed in various ways. In other words, the production of products requires a frame of various shapes, each of which requires a stock of parts, production plans and design drawings. Therefore, the design of the frame member should be simplified as much as possible to minimize the manufacturing cost and the inventory, as well as the highest flexibility in the manufacturing process.

In addition, the welding should be minimized to the connecting means of the frame member, which is deformed and deformed by the heat during welding, and if this twisted, it is necessary to further straighten it. In addition, the welding of thin steel metal frames requires highly skilled technicians and quality control supervision.

In addition, even if the welded metal frame needs to be modified, it cannot be modified once assembled. Therefore, an improperly welded metal frame must be dismantled, and most of the dismantled products are not recyclable.

In addition, when a person who purchases a partition system wants to change the furniture arrangement, there is a disadvantage in that the entire partition cannot be easily changed. Therefore, the relocation plan is limited to the existing partition arrangement or purchase new bulkheads with different specifications.

However, despite these disadvantages, welded metal partition frames are still widely used because of their robustness and low manufacturing cost compared to the conventional ones.

In addition, the design of the partitions has developed significantly in recent years due to the increasing demand for office furniture that can accommodate various communication equipment such as computers, telephones, fax machines and printers.

That is, in order to accommodate the electric wiring and communication cable increased according to the latest office environment changes, the pipes for the electric wiring and communication cable should be provided in the hollow part of the partition. It was supposed to be located on top of the department.

On the other hand, the partition member that is continuously assembled to form a partition is provided with one or more pipes that communicate with each other when the modular partition is assembled, which is connected through the vertical ceiling through the office ceiling or a wiring harness installed on the office floor It will be in contact with the electrical wiring of the building.

In this regard, US Patent No. 4,133,153 to Hage describes a conventional pipe of a conventional partition member, that is, the lower part of the partition member here is hollow so that wires and communication cables can be wired therein. The beams are arranged so that the partition frame is connected to the upper part of the hollow beam constituting the cable pipe.

Further, US Patent No. 5,038,539 to Kelly et al. Describes another embodiment of a partition structure in which cables are arranged at the lower end and the upper end of the partition member. It is designed to be installed on the outer surface of the vertical frame member. In this type, in order to be disposed in the space formed between the outer panel, a relatively thin cable is limited to a limited number.

On the other hand, as a conventional method that allows the electric wiring to pass between the frames are those described in US Patent No. 4,533,577, such as Tensor, etc. In this conventional method, the wiring hole in the web of the vertical frame member This is formed so that the electrical wiring and the communication cable are routed through the holes formed in these webs. Therefore, since the wiring is completely hidden by the exterior panel and becomes invisible, the outer portion of the vertical frame member is neat. In addition, when attaching other parts of the modular office furniture system, the drawers or other parts are superimposed on the holes in which they are installed so that they are not obstructed by cables.

However, a disadvantage of such a partition structure is that the cable must be routed through the hole. Installing, moving, or repairing computers or other office hours often requires the need to wire or dismantle the cables, so using such a divider structure not only requires a lot of manpower, but also wears out the cables. However, since the web portion of the frame member contributes to the rigidity of the frame member to the minimum, the rigidity of the frame of such a hole is not seriously impaired.

By the way, since most office equipment is used on a desk or table, piping is made according to the waist height, which is commonly referred to as "waistline" in the current partition design. As a result, electrical outlets and various other electrical wirings are routed at the waist height, so that there is no electric wire from the top of the table to the outlet member located at the lower end of the partition.

This waistline plumbing simplifies installation and maintenance of the device by eliminating the need for the installer to crawl under the furniture to reach the floor-mounted cable line and electrical outlets. The piping can shorten the length of cable needed to connect all office equipment that would normally be placed at the height of the desk top.

In addition, the open partition structure is designed by Israel's Design Finish Studio and is sold under the trade name OPTIMA, which is a horizontal channel with a pair of horizontal tubes arranged vertically. It is designed to be coupled to, and each end of the pair of horizontal tube is to be fitted to a specially designed plastic connecting member. This plastic connecting member is connected to the channel pillar in the vertical direction by a snap locking means to achieve a secure connection. In addition, the electrical partition and the communication cable are installed in the partition in such a manner as to be wired through a hole drilled in a web such as a pair of tubes and a vertical channel.

However, a disadvantage still remains in this type of partition, that is, a specially shaped connecting member must be used, and the wiring must be routed between the partition members through holes drilled in the web of the column.

Wiring through these holes requires a lot of time and effort to install, dismantle, and manage office equipment, as well as shortening the service life by increasing wear on the insulation of the wires.

However, in such a conventional partition, since the entire office space is open, electrical wiring and communication cables must be installed at a predetermined height in the space behind the panel of each partition member between the pair of horizontal tubes. The tabs made of elastic material are combined with the horizontal beams so that the entire partition part can be connected through the panel.

The present invention has been invented in view of the above circumstances, and provides a partition that is easy to install and dismantle and manage, since the wire and communication cable can be easily installed at a predetermined height, and the exterior panel is assembled to the frame of the partition. Modular office partitions and partitions that can be shielded from external panels to protect wires and communication cables, simplify the structure of the frame, reduce costs for manufacturing, reduce material costs, and increase productivity An object is to provide a member and its installation method.

The present invention relates to a partition used in a modular office furniture system, and in particular, a modular office partition and partition member and an installation method installed inside the detachable exterior panel and configured to have an inner frame to which communication cables and wires can be wired. It is about.

Office partition according to the present invention for achieving the above object is provided with a frame that is open inside to form a space for receiving the wires and communication cables between the outer panel attached to the outside, the frame is It simply consists of a plurality of rectangular vertical pillars constituting the inner frame member and a plurality of semi-circular horizontal beams firmly coupled to the vertical pillars by the coupling member to form the outer frame member. In this case, the semi-circular horizontal column is coupled to the rectangular vertical column to be fastened with a screw or rivet using a saddle bracket.

In this way, the horizontal beam is superimposed on the vertical column to be coupled to each other to form a rigid connection with each other, and may also form a pipe between adjacent partition members. The pipe is formed on the outside of the vertical column facing the inside of the outer panel, in any case it is preferably formed on the outer surface of the horizontal beam.

Therefore, only by cutting the vertical column and the horizontal beam to the appropriate length and combining them with the bracket and screw, the partition frame can be assembled. Preferably, the partition member is manufactured at the factory and moved to the demand place.However, if necessary, the component members are bundled and transported to the installation site to reduce the logistics cost and volume, and then assembled at the installation site. do. The ability to dismantle and reassemble the partition frame in this way allows the consumer to be flexible in moving the partition to another location or changing the layout of the office.

On the other hand, the horizontal beams are coupled in pairs at a position separated up and down with respect to the vertical lamp, so that the wires pass between the horizontal beam pairs in the partition member and pass over the outer surface of the vertical pillars between adjacent partition members. In addition, the outer panel is to be coupled to the horizontal beam with an elastic clip, so that the panel can be easily removed from the inside of the partition. At this time, the wires pass through the outer surface of the column and pass between adjacent partition members, but are received and hidden inside the panel. In addition, the beams are superimposed on the pillars so that the panels are separated from the vertical pillars, so that the outer, upper and lower ends are surrounded by the horizontal beams, while the inner side is provided with a pipe passage partitioned by adjacent vertical pillars. Will be.

Therefore, according to the present invention, two vertical pillars having a rectangular cross section having a flat portion facing both of the planes so that the parallel front plane and the rear plane are spaced apart at regular intervals, and are disposed inside the respective planes, One or more horizontal beams installed in each plane also has a frame consisting of a plurality of horizontal beams each of which the inner outer surface and the outer outer surface is a plane, the inner outer surface is not rolled when the inner outer surface is in contact with the outer outer surface of the vertical pillar, Comprising a plurality of exterior panels each connected to the horizontal beam, a space portion is formed in the outer surface of the horizontal beam, while the pipe passage between the outer surface of the vertical beam and the outer surface of the horizontal beam Modular office partition member is characterized in that it is formed to be able to provide.

The partition of an office is assembled so that a plurality of rectangular partition members may be connected as shown in FIG. In general, one partition member is externally finished with a plurality of exterior panels 5 and 7, which are cover members, and these panels 5 and 7 are filled with a soundproof material while the inside is coated with a material such as sound absorbing fibers. It is covered with a painted iron plate. In addition, a window or a display board may be provided in the upper part and the lower panel 5 as needed. Moreover, in order to adjust the height of a partition, the several supporting member 4 is provided along the length.

Figure 2 shows a frame of the partition structure according to the present invention, the upper lower panel 5 is all removed while leaving only the middle panel (5a, 5b) is accommodated in the electrical wiring and communication cables, etc. Is shown. If the interior designer intends to express the office atmosphere in a more open form, the upper and lower panels 5 may be removed from all or part of the partition frame. At this time, irrespective of whether the uppermost or lowermost exterior panel 5 is installed, office equipment such as a desk top, a drawer or a cabinet can be attached to the vertical pillar 1 of the partition frame.

The partition frame can be simply configured with only two vertical beams (1) constituting two inner frame members and two horizontal beams (2) constituting an outer frame, wherein the two horizontal beams (2) are vertical It is preferable that they are provided in pairs parallel to both sides of the pillar 1. The horizontal beams 2 are provided in pairs in this way in order to increase the rigidity of the frame so that a panel having a standard dimension can be used.

In addition, the horizontal beam (2) is coupled to the front and rear of each vertical pillar (1) to be firmly coupled so as not to overlap the outer roll.

10 shows a preferred coupling means for firmly overlapping the vertical column 1 and the horizontal beam 2, the horizontal beam 2 is a tube-shaped cross-section as if it is a sports track. . This tubular horizontal beam (2) consists of an arched upper end, an arched lower end, and a straight portion between these arched upper and lower ends. The upper and lower arcs are preferably semicircular. . This semicircular shape makes it easy to press-process a metal material such as steel or aluminum or to extrude it into plastic. In addition, the semi-circular portion has a high inertia, so that the rigidity against distortion and bending is increased, it is also possible to be easily connected to the vertical column (1) as shown.

As shown in FIG. 10, a bracket 3 having an internally shaped saddle portion 20 that is aligned with an external shape of the horizontal beam 2 is used to connect the horizontal beam 2 to the vertical pillar 1. This bracket (3) is provided with a flange portion 21 on the top and bottom of the saddle portion 20. In addition, the flange portion 21 is connected at a position past the outer front surface or the rear surface 22 of the vertical column 1 to which the horizontal beam 2 touches. That is, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 10, a hole is drilled in the flange portion 21 so that the bracket 3 is tightened and connected to the vertical column 1 by the screw 23. Alternatively, they can be tightened with rivets or bolts or joined by welding.

The exterior panel 5 is provided with clips made of elastic materials indicated by reference numerals 26 and 27 in FIG. 6, and installed to be detachable between the horizontal beams 2 arranged in parallel in the upper and lower portions. In the illustrated embodiment, the exterior panel 5 is installed in a form attached to the outside of the horizontal beam 2. On the other hand, because of the thickness of the shade portion 20 of the bracket 3 shown in FIG. 10, a gap is created between the horizontal beam 2 and the adjacent upper or lower end of the panel 5.

Since the partition has an open lattice shape of the vertical column 1 and the horizontal beam 2, the partition is provided with an open space inside, which is connected to the wires and cables indicated by reference numeral 32. It becomes possible.

In FIG. 6, the space portion includes an intermediate space portion 40 extending in the middle vertical direction and an outer space portion 41 extending in the horizontal direction adjacent to each other while being opened toward the intermediate space portion 40. It is made of a wiring passage.

In addition, the intermediate space 40 is formed between the vertical column (1), that is, including a front plane including the front surface of each vertical column (1) and the rear surface of each vertical column (1) It is formed between the rear plane. The intermediate space portion 40 extends in the vertical direction between the front plane, the rear plane and the inner surface of the vertical column 1. In addition, the intermediate space portion 40 extends in the vertical direction continuously over the entire height of the partition, while the partition upper end is opened, and is opened downward from the bottom beam 2 of the partition member.

In addition, an outer space portion 41 forming a plurality of wiring passages is formed to extend in the horizontal direction between the front planes or the rear planes, and the outer space portions 41 are formed. ) Extends over the entire width of each partition member so that the open state of each end face extends to the outer end of the vertical column 1.

The outer space 41 constituting the wiring passage extends forward or backward from each front and rear plane by at least the thickness of the horizontal beam 2 inside the exterior panel 5.

In addition, the outer space portion 41 is open to the space portion 40 in the middle of the inner side surface over the entire width between the vertical column (1). The intermediate space 40 ends at the inner end surface of the vertical pillar 1, while the outer space 41 is connected between the outside of the vertical pillar 1 and the inside of the panels 5 and 7. 32 acts as a passage through the vertical column (1) horizontally.

Similarly, the intermediate space 40 serves as a passage through which the cable 32 vertically passes through the horizontal beam 2 inside the horizontal beam 2 and inside the panels 5 and 7. As such, the outer space 41 forming the wiring passage and the space 40 in the middle communicate with each other, whereby the space 32 is vertically interposed between the vertical pillars 1 between the horizontal beams 2. Passing through the partition member or between the adjacent partition members in the wiring passage 41 outside the vertical column 1, it is possible to pass between the horizontal beam (2) and the inside of the panel (5, 7). As shown in FIG. 2, when the plurality of panels 5 are removed, a continuous wiring passage extends over the entire width of the three continuous partition members so that the electric wire 32a or the communication cable 32b can be easily inserted therein. You can install it.

3 to 9 show the detailed structure of the partition frame, the vertical column 1 in the illustrated embodiment is a hollow rectangular structural steel tube. The outer surface and the rear surface of the vertical column (1) is formed with a plurality of vertical slots, respectively, these slots 24 are used to support to be removed by the hook means, so that the vertical column ( 1) In addition, various office furniture can be attached and detached, and can be attached by hanging to adjust the height.

In addition, the adjacent vertical column (1) of the adjacent partition frame is to be detachably connected by a fixing means in the form of a toggle clamp 25 as shown in FIG.

In addition, the bottom portion of each vertical column (1) is provided with a height adjusting support member (4), it is possible to balance the office floor of the assembled partitions while supporting the partition frame.

The plurality of horizontal beams 2 are installed in parallel in pairs, so that one of the pair of horizontal beams 2 is connected to the outer surface of each vertical column 1, respectively. On the other hand, the pair of horizontal beams 2 are arranged to be spaced apart from the other pair of horizontal beams 2 at regular intervals in the vertical direction.

As shown in FIG. 6, the exterior panel 5 is detachably coupled between the horizontal beams 2 of the upper and lower sides which are related by the upper and lower clips 26 and 27 made of an elastic material. Here, the elastic material lower clip 26 is placed on the curved surface of the arch of the lower horizontal beam (2). In addition, the elastic material upper clip (27) is provided with tongue pieces (28) inward to guide the upper clip (27) on the curved surface below the semi-circular portion of the upper horizontal beam (2), the upper horizontal beam (2) ) Can be elastically combined.

9 is a cross-sectional view of the clips 26 and 27 in greater detail, wherein the clips 26 and 27 are made of plastic integrally with the panel partition 29 which blocks both ends of the panel 5. Will win.

9 shows that a vertical gap having a width of "g" is formed between the ends of the adjacent panels 5, so that the gap g is for the hook 30 to be inserted. The hook 30 is provided with a hook 31 bent inward and is fitted with a tip fitted to a predetermined slot 24 formed on the outer surface of the vertical column 1.

In addition, the inner end of the hook 30 is bent in an S shape so that the exterior panel 5 covers the inner end of the slot 24 and the hook 30, and as a result, the slot 24 and the hook 30 ), Make sure that no part of the hook is visible. On the other hand, the hook 30 is extended outward from the vertical column (1) through the gap (g), it is possible to support a variety of office furniture, such as desk tops, drawers, cabinets.

Particularly advantageous of the partition according to the invention is the wire 32a and the communication cable 32b in a new way with respect to the outer space 41 which forms the wiring passage with the intermediate space 40 as described above. Can be installed. Various forms may be employed to allow the wires 32a and cables 32b to pass between the partition members and into or out of the space, but a preferred embodiment is shown in FIG. That is, FIG. 7 shows a piping portion constituting a wiring passage formed at a lower portion of the upper panel designated by reference number 5b and adapted to accommodate a horizontally extending communication cable 32b, while the horizontally extending wire 32a is shown. The other piping part which is located in the lower part of the concave-shaped panel 7 so that it is suitable for accommodating this and is called a wiring tube is shown. As shown in Fig. 7, in this embodiment, an intermediate panel 5 is used to wire the communication cable 42b of an office equipment such as a computer. In addition, the middle panel 5a is used to house an electrical outlet or an associated power piping 33 or electrical wiring 32. Since the same wire 32b, cable 32a or power piping 33 is generally required to be shielded, as shown in FIG. 2, the concave panel 7 is in an installed state, but the other panel 5 ) Will be removed.

The part shown with the dotted line in FIG. 7 shows that the exterior panel 5a was further installed on the recessed panel 7. Here, the concave panel 7 has an upper portion 7a recessed inwardly and upwardly so that the concave panel 7 does not extend forward through the surface of the vertical column 1, so that the communication cable 32b is connected to the wiring passage 41b. ) To the office equipment installed outside the partition panel 5 to form a space that can pass in the vertical direction. The communication cable 32b passes downwardly adjacent to the upper portion of the concave panel 7 in the wiring passage formed of the outer space portion 41b, and then comes out from the lower portion of the panel 5b. The communication cable 32b embedded in the partition can be easily covered and covered.

In addition, the upper part of the concave panel 7 is a communication cable 32b is installed in the cable support 34, the cable support 34 is attached to the inner surface of the vertical column (1) with a screw. . Here, the cable support 34 has a structure in which a plurality of cable support arms 35 extending in the horizontal direction are separated from each other in the vertical direction. That is, as shown in the cable support 34 is shown a cable support arm 35 extending to the pipe passage 41b only on the right side for easy understanding. However, of course, the cable support arm 35 may also be installed on the left side. In addition, the cable support arm 36 includes an extension part which is fixed to the support bar 37 fixed to the rear of the exterior panel 5b. The exterior panel 5b can be removed by pushing the bottom inwardly, which is caused by rotating the exterior panel 5 with respect to the projection 44 located below the panel center line. It is pressed so as to be peeled from the locked state with the support arm 36. Since the cable support 34 is attached to vertical pillars 1, the cable support 34 is further provided between the vertical pillars 1 on which the horizontal beams 2 are supported, depending on the width of the exterior panel 5. It may be installed.

As shown in FIG. 7, the communication cable 32b passes through the entire partition width of each partition member and passes between the adjacent partition members through a wiring passage formed of a horizontal outer space portion 41b. The outer space 41, which is shown in the figure as having a depth of "d ₁ ", is partitioned by the outer surface of the vertical column 1 and the panel 5b, while the height of "h ₁ " is separated in the vertical direction. It is partitioned by a pair of horizontal beams 2 arranged.

In addition, the lower part 7b of the concave-shaped panel 7 covers the electrical piping 33, and the electric wire 32a is connected to the electrical piping 33 in the adjacent panel 5 via a wiring path. It is shown to be allowed to pass in the horizontal direction. The outer space portion 41a constituting the wiring passage has a depth of "d ₂ " and a height of "h ₂ ". On the other hand, the electric pipe 33 is fixed to the vertical column (1) or the horizontal beam (2), so that the electric lead-out portion (8) is provided on each side. In order to safely install the electric pipe 33, the concave panel 7 is connected to the vertical column 1, and the electric pipe 33 is attached to the vertical column 1 with a screw or other permanent connecting member. Let's go. Therefore, it is possible to avoid an electric accident due to an error of the electric wiring member.

The electric lead portion 8 is installed by drilling a hole in a suitable position through the lower portion of the concave panel (7). If it is directly connected to the electric pipe 33 and does not require the electric drawing part 8, it is placed on the concave panel 7 so that there is no disturbance in the outer shape of the partition as shown by the dotted line in FIG. In addition, the exterior panel 5a may be installed. Thus, the wire pipe 33 can be completely removed from the partition.

On the other hand, if the electric lead-out part 8 is provided in a concave panel, the additional exterior panel 7 is usually placed in the space of the partition member formed, for example, behind the upper panel 5.

In addition, the intermediate space 40 is formed in the horizontal direction over the upper end of the partition member so as not to be blocked by the electrical pipe 33. 7 shows an electric wire 32a leading to one end of the electric pipe 33, which is spaced from the lower portion of the lowermost horizontal beam 2 through the electric wire pipe 33. It goes up to 40 and then up to the cable support 34. In addition, as shown in the figure, the middle space portion 40 is narrowed to form a vertical passage 40a having a depth of at least the thickness of the communication cable 32b. In addition, the panel 7 does not need to be recessed so that the vertical column 4 enters the front and rear surfaces. Here, in the case of drawing the electric wire from the office floor, the intermediate space portion 40 serves as a wire piping to pull the electric wire 32a backward from the power source in the office floor. On the other hand, when the electric wire is to be pulled out from the ceiling, it may be connected to the electric wire pipe 33 by using a normal support pillar coupled with the upper portion of the intermediate space 20.

The wire 32a is preferably covered with a metal, the wire 32a spans the entire width of the partition member and then passes between adjacent partition members through a horizontal wiring passage 41a. In addition, the commercially available modular electric piping 33 has a pigtail-type conduit having electrical outlets provided on both sides, so that it can be mutually longitudinally coupled to the entire length of the assembled partition wall. have.

Therefore, the upper wire wiring passage 41b and the lower communication cable wiring passage 41a and the space portion 40 in the middle of the partition member are specifically coupled to accommodate the electric wire 32a and the communication cable 32b. The wiring passage is formed so that the electric wire 32a and the communication cable 32b are hidden behind the attached panel 5b and the concave panel 7. Then, all the wires 32a and the communication cable 32b pass between the adjacent partitions in the wiring passages 41a and 41b formed between the vertical column 1 and the exterior panels 5 and 7.

In addition, the intermediate panel 5b covering the cable support 34 is located directly above the height of the desk top, and the concave panel 7 is located directly below the height of the desk top. On the other hand, the wiring passage (41a, 41b) passes through the outer surface of the vertical column (1), so that when the cable or wire 32 is accommodated in the wiring passage (41a, 41b) to support the hook bracket 30 The slot 24 cannot enter the intermediate portion of the wiring passages 41a and 41b. However, this form is not particularly bad, because generally the hook bracket (30) is located higher than the top of the desk with a drawer or file cabinet, here the hook bracket (30) is a desk top It is located just below the height to support the desk or filing cabinet.

Therefore, the hook bracket 30 in the intermediate region located on the desk top plate is generally not necessary. If the hook bracket 30 has to be located in a specific area in terms of design, it is a simple matter to place the cable support 34 at the high and low positions of the panel 5.

In addition, since the spaces 40 and 41 of the partition member are all open, the communication cable 32b and the electric wire 32a are placed anywhere in the space 40 in the middle of the partition member in accordance with the design requirements. I can move.

11 and 12 illustrate a state in which four adjacent partition members are connected in an X shape, from which two or three panels may be connected in an L shape or a T shape, as well as 90 ° in a similar manner. It can also be connected at an angle other than.

On the other hand, the hook-shaped end portion of the toggle clamp 25 is caught by the long hole 13 which is drilled through the X-shaped connector 14 through the slot in the vertical column (1). At this time, the bent portion formed by bending upwards (져 部) 15 is pressed against the side of the vertical column (1) to be securely fixed. To further secure this, insert each insert 16a provided in the connector 14 into the end space of the tube 2 to be joined, and then bolt the arrowhead connection 16 to the connector 14. Tighten to. A coupling hole is formed at the bottom of the arrowhead-shaped connector 16 so that it can be bolted to the X-shaped connector 14.

By constructing as described above, the following facts were found, that is, even if only one X-shaped connector 14 is installed at an intermediate height, it is possible to firmly connect four adjacent frames. However, in a special case, as shown in FIG. 11, the X-shaped connector 14 may be additionally installed and reinforced. Nevertheless, it is preferable to use only one X-shaped connector 14, and in the case where more safety is required, only the arrowhead connector 16 without the X-shaped connector 14 may be used.

In this case, the disk body 4 can be used as a medium for fixing the arrowhead-shaped connecting portion 16 of the adjacent partition member inserted into the horizontal beam 2 over the entire height of the partition. It is possible to minimize the use of a relatively expensive toggle clamp 25 without harming.

On the other hand, in order to ensure that the partition members are uniformly aligned at the same height, one toggle clamp 25 should be used. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 9, horizontal beams 2 disposed at the upper end and the lower end of the adjacent partition members 2 may be used. The pair of horizontal beams 2 can be continuously connected in such a manner that the insert 43 is connected to the space portion formed at the end of the horizontal beam 2 of the adjacent partition member by interference fit.

The partition members forming the partition according to the present invention configured as described above have a large rigidity and rigidity individually, so that the partition members are connected in such a manner that the insert 43 is fitted to both space portions of the horizontal beam 2. Even when connected, it was found that the combined and assembled partitions also significantly increased rigidity and structural safety.

Next, the fabrication and assembly of the partition member according to the present invention configured as described above will be described.

First, the vertical column 1 and the horizontal beam 2 are cut from the raw material into a length of a predetermined size that meets the standard of the partition member, and then slotted holes 24 are formed on both outer surfaces of each vertical column 1. On the other hand, each side of the vertical column (1) is formed with a slot 46 for the toggle clamp 25 to be caught. Subsequently, a screw hole for attaching the saddle bracket 3 to the outer surface of each of the vertical lamps 1 is drilled, and these screw holes have a vertical column 1 to insert a screw for fixing the support member 4 in place. Drill near the bottom of the).

Next, the horizontal beams 2 and the vertical pillars 1 are electro-painted, that is, the vertical pillars 1 and the horizontal beams 2 are mounted side by side in an electrical coating booth and painted in an electric coating state. Done. This is because it is more effective to paint the vertical column 1 and the horizontal beam 2 before being assembled than to paint the frame in the welded state.

In order to manufacture the partition member, it is generally effective to mass-produce using a machine tool, a workbench, a dedicated work tool, and other assembling devices in a manufacturing factory. Thus, the partition frame manufactured in the manufacturing factory is transferred to an installation place. .

However, an advantage of the present invention in designing an office partition is that the partition frame can be correctly assembled and installed in a place where a simple tool and an unskilled person are to be installed.

That is, the vertical column (1) and the horizontal beam (2), saddle bracket (3), the support member (4), the outer panel (5, 7) and various other components are packed in a box or bundled in a bundle and transported to the installation site After that, the two vertical columns 1 are laid so that their respective outer faces are parallel to each other. On the other hand, in order to quickly manufacture and assemble the partition member according to the present invention, the machine tool is used, but to assemble at the installation place, the hole drilled in advance to install the saddle bracket (3) is perpendicular to the horizontal beam (2) The alignment and spacing of the pillars 1 are ensured so that no machine tool is required. In addition, the horizontal beam (2) is superimposed on the outer surface of the vertical column (1), the saddle bracket (3) is disposed at both ends of the horizontal beam (2) by tapping screw (electric tapping screw) with an electric dryer; Tighten 23) to fix it. Then, after inverting the partially assembled partition frame, the second horizontal beam 2 of the pair of horizontal beams 2 is fixed to the outer surface opposite to each other of the vertical pillars 1 in the same manner. .

As shown in Fig. 3 and 5, the support member 4 is fitted with a tapping screw 23 is fitted with a tapping screw 23 so that the lower end of the vertical column 1 is placed thereon. A support member body 4a cast from metal is provided with an upper flange 4c for fixing 4a) to the lower end side of each vertical column 1. The supporting member body 4a thus constructed is equipped with a screw hole drilled in the vertical direction so that the screwed shaft 4d is fitted. On the other hand, the lower end portion of the screwed shaft 4d is rotatably connected with respect to the bottom portion of the support member, thereby making it possible to adjust the horizontality of the partition installed on the non-flat office floor.

The partition frame assembled in this way is erected and connected to a predetermined shape by the toggle clamp 25, to connect the frame in an X shape, a T shape, an L shape, or other shape as shown in FIGS. 11 and 12. As shown in the drawing, it is completed by assembling the connection member 14 having a slot or the connection member 16 having an arrowhead shape.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 14, the arm 44 and the hook 45 of the toggle clamp 25 are connected in order to connect and connect the vertical pillars 1 of two adjacent partition members to be connected in a linear direction. ) Is inserted through the slot 46 formed in alignment with the side of the vertical column (1). Here, the hook 45 is caught on the side surface 47 of the second vertical column (1) far from the rest of the body of the toggle clamp (25). As can be seen in the exploded perspective view shown in Fig. 13, when the clamp handle 48 is rotated by 90 °, the surfaces 49, 50; 51, 52 of the cams adjacent to each other are hooked with the hook 45 and the shoulder surface. Between 53) and the vertical column (1) is tightened. Here, the cable support 34 is installed over the entire length of the partition for use as an office equipment.

On the other hand, the modular electric pipe 33 is installed at a predetermined position of the partition member, and the electric wire 33 is used to wire the electric wires 32a up and down in the vertical direction of the partition member using the electric pipe 33, and then the horizontal direction of the partition member. Wiring in the horizontal direction through the wiring passage 41b formed in the direction to lead to the adjacent partition member. After the wiring, the concave panel 7 is fixed to the cable support 34 with a tapping screw.

Office furniture such as a table top or drawer of a desk, a filing cabinet is installed in the form of hanging on the vertical column (1) by fitting the hook (31) of the clasp (30) to the slot (24) of the vertical column (1). Next, the exterior panel 5 is elastically coupled to the horizontal beam 2 where necessary to cover the inner ends of the slot 24 and the latch 30.

On the other hand, office equipment such as computers, fax machines, telephones, printers, modems, and ICU servers are usually installed in the office space while being supported by drawers or desk tops, in which case wires are placed outside the panel (5). It passes between the instrument and the cable brace 34 located in the space 40 of the partition frame.

That is, the communication cable 32b and the electric wire 32a pass between the adjacent partition members through the wiring passage 41b so as to be supported at regular intervals on the cable support 34 along the length of the partition. In this case, the coated wire 32a simply passes through the pipe passage 41a. After all the wires 32a are installed in this manner, the support rods 37 of the cover panel 5b are caught by the deformed support arms 36 of the cable holder 34 so that the communication cables 32b are provided in the space portion of the partition member. ) Is covered.

In addition, the electric wire 32a, the communication cable 32b, and the electric pipe 33 are generally accommodated in the space portion of the partition, while the communication cable 32b and the electric wire 32a are detachable panels 5a. , 5b) is installed in advance. On the other hand, the need to insert the electric wire 32a and the communication cable 32b through the opening in the vertical column 1 is eliminated by the two piping passages 41a and 41b which open outward. As a result, installation, removal, and management of office equipment are simplified, and the degree of wear is significantly reduced compared to the use of conventional partitions for the wires and cables 32a and 32b.

In most cases, only the middle exterior panels 5a and 5b are required to cover the electric pipe 33 and the electric wires and communication cables 32a and 32b as shown in FIG. Only necessary in some cases, the cost of installing partitions is further reduced.

Therefore, the detailed design of the surface treatment and the connecting portion can be finished with a modern appearance, which is relatively low in cost and recently used in architectural and interior design.

In addition, it is possible to meet the cumbersome requirement of accommodating a large number of electric wires 32a and communication cables 32b necessary for modern office equipment, even though the structure is extremely simple.

As a preferred embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, the panel 5 is provided with a cover 100 having an edge portion 102 at an inner end thereof, and forms a pipe passage between the cover 100 and the vertical column 1. There is a portion 41 is made. In addition, when the cover 100 is not required to be provided on the panel 5, the depth of the space part 41 becomes deeper when the cover 100 is not provided.

In the preferred embodiment shown, the exterior panel 5 is arranged to overlap the exterior of the horizontal beam 5, but does not overlap the exterior panel 5 with the horizontal beam 2, but between the horizontal beams 2. The panel 5 may be open at both ends so that the horizontal wiring passage is partitioned in the panel 5 between the horizontal beams 2.

Although the present invention has been described with respect to the preferred embodiment, the present invention is not limited to the above specific embodiment, of course, for example, the horizontal beam (2) and the vertical column (1) hollow rectangular tube or rhombic tube It is also possible to use a widely used member such as a circular tube, an elliptical tube, an injection member, a drawn tube, a channel member, an I-shaped beam member, an angle member, or a member specially manufactured by extrusion.

Similarly, the exterior panel 5 may also be made of various conventional materials such as metal sheets or extruded aluminum members, extruded plastics, fiber boards, and fibers molded into a roll. Accordingly, the present invention includes all embodiments that are functionally or mechanically identical to all specific embodiments having the features described and described herein.

A partition having a simple structure can be provided by the partition configured as described above, and simply attaching the bracket 3 at a predetermined height makes it possible to easily connect the vertical column 1 and the horizontal beam 3 firmly.

In addition, by assembling the horizontal beam (2) and the vertical column (1) made by simply cutting the material by the required length, the partition member can be configured. In this way, the partition member is moved to the installation place before assembling the partition member. With a simple tool, a relatively inexperienced person can assemble at the installation site. On the other hand, the consumer can be easily disassembled and reassembled easily when moving the office or changing the layout of the office.
