Description

partition

The present invention relates to partitions.

Conventionally, as seen in Patent Document 1, for example,
A partition having a frame (10) and a sheet-like partition (20) supported by the frame (10) is known.

This partition has already been proposed by the applicant, and has the effect of reducing the installation space.

However, since this partition has a frame (10) over the entire upper part of the partition (20), the frame (10) over the entire upper part of the partition (20) somewhat obstructs the view. It has its drawbacks.

Patent No. 6953590

The problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a partition that not only can reduce the installation space but also does not easily obstruct the view.

In order to solve the above problems, the partition of the present invention has the following features:
A partition having a frame and a sheet-like or plate-like partition supported by the frame,
The partition is characterized in that an open part without a frame is formed in the upper part of the partition.

Since this partition has the above configuration, the following effects can be obtained.
Since the structure includes a frame and a sheet-like or plate-like partition supported by the frame, it is possible to reduce the installation space as in the technique of Patent Document 1. It is also possible to reduce the weight.
Furthermore, since the partition of the present invention has an open section in which no frame is present at the top of the partition, this open section does not obstruct the view compared to the prior art.
As described above, according to the partition of the present invention, it is possible to not only reduce the installation space but also to make it difficult to obstruct the view.

In this partition,
In addition to the open part at the top of the partition, an open part may also be formed at one side of the partition connected to the open part at the top.
With this configuration, the open portion extends not only to the upper part of the partition but also to one side, making it even more difficult to obstruct the view.

In this partition,
The frame may be configured to extend along all or most of the lower side of the partition.
With this configuration, when the space below the partition is used as a space for moving objects manually, the lower side of the partition becomes difficult to touch, making it easier to protect the hands.

In this partition,
One end of the lower part of the frame may be configured to be rotatable around a rotation center perpendicular to a partition surface of the partition body.
With this configuration, by rotating the partition around the rotation center, it becomes possible to select a position where the partition functions and a retracted position.

In this partition,
A partition having a frame and a sheet-like or plate-like partition supported by the frame,
a first partition in which an open part in which no frame is present is formed in the upper part of the partition;
A partition having a frame and a sheet-like or plate-like partition supported by the frame,
a second partition in which an open part in which no frame exists is formed in the upper part of the partition body,
The second partition can be configured to be rotatably connected to the frame along the lower side of the first partition in a plan view.

With this configuration, since both the first and second partitions have a frame and a sheet-like or plate-like partition supported by the frame, it is possible to reduce the installation space. It is also possible to reduce the weight.
Furthermore, since an open part without a frame is formed at the top of the partition, this open part does not obstruct the view compared to the prior art.
Furthermore, since the second partition is rotatably connected in plan view to the frame along the lower side of the first partition, the second partition can be rotated in plan view to a position where it functions as a partition. and evacuation position can be selected.
Even though the configuration has such a first and second partition, all the partitions have the above configuration, and the second partition is connected to the frame along the lower side of the first partition. This allows for a small installation space, weight reduction, and good visibility.

In this partition,
In addition to the open part at the top of the partition body of the second partition, an open part is formed at one side of the partition body that is connected to the open part at the top, and the one side side In a plan view, the first partition may be rotatably connected to a frame along the lower side of the first partition.
With this configuration, the opening on one side of the second partition can be opposed to the opening on the first partition, so good visibility can be achieved despite the above configuration. Can be done.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the partition according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In each figure, the same or corresponding parts are given the same reference numerals.

Partition 1 shown in FIGS. 1 to 5 is
A partition having a frame 10 and a sheet-like or plate-like partition 20 supported by the frame 10,
An open portion 21 where the frame 10 does not exist is formed at the top of the partition 20.

Since such a partition 1 has the above-mentioned configuration, the following effects can be obtained.

Since the configuration includes a frame 10 and a sheet-like or plate-like partition 20 supported by the frame 10, it is possible to reduce the installation space as in the technique of Patent Document 1. It is also possible to reduce the weight.
Furthermore, since the partition of this embodiment has an open part 21 in which the frame 10 does not exist at the upper part of the partition body 20, this open part 21 does not obstruct the view compared to the prior art.

As described above, according to the partition 1 of this embodiment, it is possible to not only reduce the installation space but also to make it difficult to obstruct the view.

The partitions shown in Figures 1 and 2 are
In addition to the open section 21 at the top of the partition 20, an open section 22 is also formed at one side of the partition 20 that is connected to the open section 21 at the top.
With this configuration, the open part extends not only to the upper part (21) of the partition body 20 but also to one side part (22), so that visibility can be further made less obstructed.

Partition 1 shown in FIGS. 1 to 5 is
The frame 10 runs along all or most of the lower side 23 of the partition 20.
With this configuration, when the space S1 below the partition 20 is used as a space for moving objects manually, the lower side 23 of the partition 20 becomes difficult to touch, making it easier to protect the hands. For example, the hands can be easily protected from the lower edge of the partition 20.

In FIG. 1 etc., 30 is a support member for erecting the partition 1.
For the support member 30 and the connection structure between the support member 30 and the partition 1, any suitable structure can be adopted as long as the structure allows the partition 1 to be erected.
The support member 30 shown in FIGS. 1 to 5 has a base part 31 that is placed on a table or the like, and a cylindrical part 32 that stands up on this base part 31. The partition 1 is erected by connecting the connected portion 11 with the cylindrical portion 32.

In the one shown in FIG. 1(a), a connecting portion 11 is formed by bending one end of the lower part of a frame 10 vertically downward.
In the case shown in FIGS. 1(b) and 3(a), a connecting portion 11 is connected to one end of the lower part of the frame 10. As shown in FIG.
In the case shown in FIGS. 2 and 3(b), a connecting portion 11 is connected to the substantially central portion of the lower portion of the frame 10. As shown in FIG.
These aspects can be selected as appropriate depending on the installation location.

As shown in FIGS. 6(a) and 6(b), one end (11) of the lower part of the frame 10 is configured to be rotatable around an axis (rotation center) A1 orthogonal to the partition surface 20s of the partition body 20. be able to.
With this configuration, for example, as shown in FIGS. 6(a) and 6(b), by rotating the partition 1 around the rotation center A1, the position where it functions as a partition (see FIG. 7(a)) and the retracted position can be changed. (See FIG. 7(b)).

For example, in the partition 1 shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, in addition to the open part 21 at the upper part of the partition body 20, an open part 22 is formed at one side of the partition body 20 that is connected to the open part 21 at the upper part.
In other words, the frame 10 runs along one side or curved corner 24 (FIG. 6(a)) of the partition 20. The part of the frame along which it follows is indicated by reference numeral 14.

For example, in FIG. 7(a), an arrow M indicates the movement of a customer when sitting on a chair 50 at a table 40 in a restaurant or the like.
The frame portion 14 along one side or curved corner 24 of the divider 20 improves visibility of the divider for the customer when the customer is seated. In particular, when the partition body 20 is colorless and transparent, visibility can be improved.
This also applies to other embodiments in which the frame 10 is along one side or curved corner 24 of the partition 20.
Therefore, it is desirable to use the partition 1 of this embodiment in such a way that the frame portion 14 is positioned so that it can be easily seen by the customer when seated.

The structure for rotatably supporting the frame 10 may be any known appropriate structure.
For example, as shown in FIG. 6, one end 11 of the frame 10 may be pivotally supported by a connecting member 15 on a bearing portion 33 provided upright on a base portion 31 of a supporting member 30.

As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, a pair of

partitions

1, 1 may be provided facing each other, and each may be configured to be rotatable around the rotation center A1.
With this configuration, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, for example, by rotating the partition 1 around the rotation center A1 as necessary, it can be moved between the position where it functions as a partition (see FIG. 8) and the retracted position (see FIG. 9). (see 1').

Note that, as shown in FIG. 8, by arranging the pair of

partitions

1, 1 with their

open portions

21, 22 facing each other, a facing state with good visibility can be obtained.

The partitions shown in FIGS. 10(a) and 10(b) each include a first partition 1A and a second partition 1B, and the second partition 1B is a horizontal portion 16 of the frame 10 along the lower side of the first partition 1A. In contrast, it is rotatably connected in plan view.

With this configuration, both the first and

second partitions

1A and 1B are
Since the configuration includes the frame 10 and the sheet-like or plate-like partition 20 supported by the frame 10, it is possible to reduce the installation space. It is also possible to reduce the weight.

Furthermore, since the open part 21 in which the frame 10 does not exist is formed at the upper part of the partition body 20, this open part 21 does not obstruct the view compared to the prior art.

Furthermore, since the second partition 1B is rotatably connected in a plan view to the horizontal portion 16 of the frame 10 along the lower side of the first partition 1A, the second partition 1B can be rotated in a plan view. This allows you to select the location that functions as a partition and the evacuation location. If the second partition 1B is rotated 90 degrees in plan view from the state shown in FIG. 10 to align with the first partition 1A, it will be in the retracted position.

Even though the configuration includes such first and

second partitions

1A and 1B, both partitions have the above configuration, and the second partition 1B has a frame along the lower side of the first partition 1A. 10, a small installation space, weight reduction, and good visibility can be achieved.

An appropriate structure can be adopted as the structure for rotatably supporting the second partition 1B on the first partition 1A. For example, as shown in FIG. 10, one end 11 of the frame 10 of the second partition 1B is rotatably supported around the vertical axis A2 by a connecting member 17 attached to the horizontal part 16 of the frame 10 of the first partition 1A. It is possible to adopt a structure that

Note that the one shown in FIG. 10(a) is supported by the support member 30 at a connecting portion 11j provided at one end of the lower part of the frame 10 of the first partition 1A, and the one shown in FIG. 10(b) is supported by the support member 30 It is supported by a support member 30 at a connecting portion 11j provided at the lower center of the frame 10 of 1A.

In FIG. 10, the second partition 1B has an open part 22 formed on one side of the partition body 20 that is connected to the upper open part 21 in addition to the open part 21 at the upper part of the partition body 20 of the second partition 1B. The first partition 1A is rotatably connected to the horizontal portion 16 of the frame 10 along the lower side of the first partition 1A on the one side portion 22 side in a plan view.

With this configuration, the open part 21 on one side of the second partition 1B can be opposed to the open part 21 of the first partition 1A, so it can be easily folded even though it has the above-mentioned folded configuration. Visibility can be improved.

As shown in FIGS. 11(a) and 11(b), the second partition 1B may be turned upside down and connected rotatably to the upper part of the frame 10 of the first partition 1A in a plan view.

As shown in FIGS. 12(a) and 12(b), the second partition 1B has a frame on its upper side, and is rotatably connected to the lower part of the frame 10 of the first partition 1A in a plan view. You may do so.

As shown in FIG. 13, the support member 30 may be provided with a plurality of cylindrical portions 32, and the

open portions

21 and 22 of a plurality of partitions 1 may be supported while facing each other.
In this way, the table 40 can be widely partitioned, and a facing state with good visibility can be obtained.
Note that although FIG. 13A shows a state in which two partitions 1 are supported by four cylindrical portions 32, four partitions 1 can be supported.
If six cylindrical parts 32 are provided as shown in FIG. 13(b), six partitions 1 can be supported.

The frame 10 may have any known appropriate shape and structure. For example, a round pipe, a square pipe, a U-shaped cross section, or a C-shaped cross section can be used. Note that a dedicated frame can also be configured. The material may be metal, synthetic resin, wood, etc.

Whether the partition body 20 is shaped into a sheet or a plate can be determined depending on the shape of the frame 10.
For example, as shown in FIG. 1 and the like, when the open portions are provided in the upper part (21) and the side part (22), it is desirable that the partition body 20 is formed of a plate. The thickness of the plate depends on the width of the partition surface, but in the case of a synthetic resin plate, it is preferably about 1 mm to 3 mm, preferably about 2 mm. Here, "degree" refers to the range of manufacturing error.
It should be noted that a known appropriate coupling structure may be adopted as the coupling structure between the frame 10 and the partition body 20. In this embodiment, the partition 20 is fastened to the frame 10 with fasteners 26.

As shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, when using the frame 10 that is U-shaped when viewed from the front, the partition 20 can be either sheet-shaped or plate-shaped. When a sheet-like partition is used, as shown in FIG. 4(b), a frame 10 made of an elastic body that expands as shown by reference numeral 10' in a free state is used, and the sheet 20 is stretched within the frame 10 by its elasticity. You can also do that.

Note that it is desirable to use transparent or translucent partitions 20.

Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and can be modified as appropriate within the scope of the gist of the present invention.
