上記実施形態のパーティション1の仕切部200は、ケーシング110に巻きつけることが可能なロール状であるが、仕切部200の形状はロール状に限定されない。
上記実施形態では、空調装置300の気流生成部600は、第1構造体100に形成された吹出口352や、第1構造体100に設けられたノズルから空気を吹き出すが、これに限定されるものではない。
上記実施形態では、パーティション1は、第1構造体100を上下方向に立てた状態で利用されるが、これに限定されるものではない。例えば、パーティション1は、図15のように、第1構造体100を水平方向に寝かせた状態で利用されてもよい。なお、第1構造体100を水平方向に寝かせた状態で利用する場合には、仕切部200の第2端部220側を支柱270で支えるように構成されることが好ましい。
上記実施形態では、パーティション1は、ヒートポンプ式の空調装置300を有するが、これに限定されるものではない。パーティション1は、空気環境調整部として、空調装置300に代えて、(加熱部や冷却部を有さない)気流生成部としてのファンを有していてもよい。ファンは、ケーシング110の外部、又は、仕切部200に設けられてもよい。
パーティション1の仕切部200の収納の態様は、例示したロール状や、蛇腹式(折りたたみ式)に限定されるものではなく、テレスコープ式等の形態であってもよい。
第2実施形態のパーティション1Dについて説明する。なお、第2実施形態のパーティション1Dは、第1実施形態のパーティションと同様での点も多いので、相違点以外の説明は、その多くを省略する。なお、パーティション1Dには、第1実施形態及びその変形例で説明したパーティションの特徴の一部又は全部を、矛盾のない範囲で適宜適用可能である。
第3実施形態のパーティション1Eについて説明する。なお、第3実施形態のパーティション1Eは、第1実施形態のパーティションと同様での点も多いので、相違点以外の説明は、その多くを省略する。なお、パーティション1Eには、第1及び第2実施形態及びその変形例で説明したパーティションの特徴の一部又は全部を、矛盾のない範囲で適宜適用可能である。
図21及び図22を参照しながら、第4実施形態のパーティション1Fについて説明する。図21は、パーティション1Fの概略斜視図である。図22は、パーティション1Fに含まれる空調装置300Fの概略構成図である。
