DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a partition suitable for use as a partition in a hospital, a doctor's office, or the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As this kind of partition, a partition as shown in FIG. 10 is generally used. In this screen, two curtain plates 50 are connected via a hinge 51 so as to be openable and closable. Each curtain plate 50 has two beams 53 laid horizontally on upper and lower portions of a frame 52, and a curtain cloth is interposed between the beams 53. 54.

In this screen, the direction in which the field of view is blocked can be adjusted by changing the angle between the two curtain plates 50.

[0004]

However, in the above screen, the width of each curtain plate 50 cannot be changed. Therefore, it is necessary to install the screen in an optimal condition corresponding to an installation place or a range in which the view is to be blocked. was difficult.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a partition which can flexibly respond to installation conditions.

[0006]

In order to solve the above problems, according to the present invention, a curtain is hung on a beam supported by a support,
Provided is a partition that can be used by setting its beam to a required width in accordance with the expansion and contraction of the beam by slidably inserting the inner pipe into the outer pipe.

[0007] When a flexible member that can be bent and stretched is interposed in the middle of the beam, the direction of the field of vision to be blocked can be adjusted by changing the degree of bending of the flexible member.

Further, a curtain cloth is hung on a beam that is cantilevered by a column, and the beam is divided into two members, a base end side and a front end side, so that these two members can be elastically connected to and separated from each other. When two members are connected such that the distal member hangs down from the proximal member, only one support is required, so that the structure becomes simpler and more compact. Also, it does not become bulky during storage.

[0009]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In the partition shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a pair of columns 1 and 1 are connected by beams 2 at the upper and lower portions thereof, and a leg 4 having a caster 3 is provided at the lower end of each column 1. . A curtain cloth 5 is hung over the upper and lower beams 2 and 2 with their upper and lower edges in a bag shape. Beam 2
Is made of a telescopic beam rod 8 in which an inner pipe 7 is slidably inserted into an outer pipe 6 made of metal on both sides, and a central part is made of a flexible member 9 using a rubber tube containing a copper wire.

As shown in FIG. 3, the base end of the beam 8 is T
A shaft 11 that is connected to the column 1 via a K-shaped joint 10 and extends in the axial direction is inserted into the inside of the beam 8 through the column 1. The shaft 11 is screwed into a bush 12 fitted to the base end of the outer pipe 6, a tightening nut 13 is provided at an end protruding from the column 1, and a locking nut 14 is provided at an end protruding into the inner pipe 7. Is screwed. When the beam 8 is extended, the retaining nut 14 abuts against the inner end surface of the bush 15 fitted to the base end of the inner pipe 7 and
From the inner pipe 7. Both ends of the flexible member 9 are fixed to the inner pipe 7 by pins 16.

In the screen constructed as described above, when the beam 2 is expanded and contracted, the interval between the columns 1 and 1 changes. Therefore, the width of the curtain cloth 5 can be adjusted to the interval, and the required width can be set.

As shown in FIG. 4, by changing the degree of bending of the flexible member 9, it is possible to adjust the direction of the field of vision to be blocked.

Further, when not used, as shown in FIG. 5, the flexible member 9 can be bent deeply and stored compactly in a folded state.

When the span of the columns 1 and 1 is long, the stability is improved by providing an auxiliary column 17 between the columns 1 and 1 as shown in FIG. The auxiliary pillar 17 is composed of a connecting rod 18 extending between the upper and lower beam rods 8 and a leg rod 19 extending downward from the lower beam rod 8. To the outer pipe 6 through T-shaped and cross-shaped joints 20, 21. A caster 3 is provided at the lower end of the auxiliary pillar 17.

Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 7, the curtain cloth 5 may be hung from the beam 2 supported in a cantilever manner by the column 1. In this example, the beam 2 is composed of a base member 2a and a distal member 2b.
Is provided. In this beam 2, the base member 2a and the distal member 2b are connected and unified, and as shown in FIG. 8, the bush 22 projecting from the proximal end of the distal member 2b is connected to the proximal member. The member 2a protrudes freely into and out of the member 2a.

The base member 2a is connected to the column 1 via a T-shaped joint 10, and a bolt 23 penetrating the column 1 is screwed into a bush 12 fitted to the base of the column 2 to form the column 1a.
It is fixed to. A bush 24 is slidably inserted into the base member 2a, and the bush 24 is urged toward the bush 12 via a spring 25. The bush 22 and the bush 24 are connected via an annular connecting member 26, and the distal member 2 b is drawn to the proximal member 2 a by the urging force of the spring 25.

The distal member 2b is made slidable by inserting the inner pipe 7 into the outer pipe 6 in a slidable manner. Inside the distal member 2b, the base end is screwed into the bush 22 so as to extend in the axial direction. An extending shaft 11 is inserted. A stopper member 27 having a thread engraved on the inner peripheral surface thereof is screwed to the distal end of the shaft 11. The stopper member 27 is attached to the inner end surface of the bush 15 fitted to the base end of the inner pipe 7. The inner pipe 7 is prevented from coming off from the outer pipe 6 by abutment. A screw 30 having a knob 29 is provided on the cap 28 at the tip of the inner pipe 7 so as to face the stopper member 27.

This partition is simpler and more compact than that shown in FIG. 1 because only one column 1 is required, and can be installed even in a narrow place. In addition, by changing the width of the curtain cloth 5 by appropriately expanding and contracting the beam 2, it is possible to block the visibility of a required range.

As shown in FIG. 9, the curtain cloth 5 is moved toward the base end, and the bush 22 is pulled out of the base end member 2a against the urging force of the spring 25. 2b, the distal member 2b becomes the proximal member 2
Since it protrudes from a and the length of the protrusion of the beam 2 from the column 1 is shortened, it does not become bulky during storage.

At this time, if the screw 30 is screwed into the stopper member 27 by turning the knob 29 in a state where the distal end side member 2b is contracted, the inner pipe 7 does not descend by its own weight.

[0022]

As described above, the partition according to the present invention is:
A curtain cloth is hung on the beam supported by the column, and the inner pipe is slidably inserted into the outer pipe so that the beam can be expanded and contracted.

When a flexible member that can be bent and stretched is interposed in the middle of the beam, the direction of the field of vision to be blocked can be adjusted by changing the degree of bending of the flexible member.

In addition, a curtain cloth is hung on a beam cantilevered by a column, and the beam is divided into two members, a base end side and a tip end side.
When these two members are elastically contactable and separable and the two members are connected such that the distal member hangs down from the proximal member in the separated state, only one support is required, so that the structure is simpler and more compact. If the beam is divided into two parts and the tip side is hung, there is no bulk during storage.
