DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, the partition apparatus provided with one Embodiment of this invention is demonstrated, referring FIGS.
In the following description, the front side of the sheet of FIG. 1 is defined as “front”, and the back side of the sheet is defined as “rear”.
[0010]
A rectangular frame-shaped frame (2), which is a structural member of the partition device (1), is a metal facing in the left-right direction on the opposing surfaces of the upper and lower ends of a pair of left and right metal columns (3) (3). The left and right ends of the made horizontal gutters (4) and (4) are fixed by welding or screwing or the like.
[0011]
As shown in FIG. 2, both struts (3) and (3) are hollow, substantially rectangular tubes with V-shaped grooves (3a) facing upward and downward on the outer side surfaces, and upper ends on both front and rear sides. A locking hole (3b) for locking the panel (P) (only the upper end portion is shown in FIG. 2) is formed in the part and the lower end part.
[0012]
As shown in FIGS. 2 and 7, a plurality of slits (3 c) for locking brackets such as shelf boards (not shown) are provided at corners where the outer surface and the front and rear surfaces of the column (3) intersect. Are drilled side by side in the vertical direction.
[0013]
As shown in FIGS. 7 to 9, engagement holes (3 d) for fitting engagement pieces (15) of a fixture (10) to be described later are provided at two locations on the upper and lower sides of the outer surface of the support column (3). Are drilled (only the upper one is shown in the figure), and as shown in FIGS. 2 and 8, there is a through hole (3e) at a position that is flush with the engagement hole (3d) on the inner surface . (Only the upper part is shown in the figure) is perforated.
[0014]
The panel (P) has substantially the same shape and dimensions as the frame (2), and has a locking tool (5) such as a downward hook provided at the four corners of the back surface (one at the upper end in FIG. 2). Are attached to both the front and rear surfaces of the frame (2) by engaging and engaging the locking holes (3b) of the support column (3).
A top cover (6) facing left and right is attached to the upper surface of the frame (2), and a baseboard (7) facing left and right is attached to the lower ends of both front and rear sides of the frame (2). It has been.
[0015]
Outer surface of the post (3) (in the partition device coupled a plurality of panels (P) in the horizontal direction, the outer surface of the strut (3) which is arranged on the outermost) side facing the vertical direction is attached to the The cover (8) is formed of a synthetic resin material, and a slightly large and substantially rectangular fitting hole (9) is formed at the same height as the engaging hole (3d) on the back surface. It has been drilled.
[0016]
As shown in detail in FIGS. 2 to 5, the fixture (10) attached to the fitting hole (9) is made of synthetic resin as will be described in detail below.
Slightly long protrusions (12) are erected to the left at the four corners of the vertical plate-shaped substrate (11) that is the same size and shape as the fitting hole (9). Adjacent projecting pieces (12) are joined together by reinforcing pieces (13) facing in the front-rear direction, and the front and rear side edges are slightly deformed elastically, with the tips protruding slightly forward and rearward of the substrate (11). A pair of upper and lower retaining pieces (14) are provided facing left.
[0017]
A pair of upper and lower engaging pieces (15) facing leftward that can be elastically deformed are projected substantially at the center of the substrate (11), and the distal ends of both engaging pieces (15) and (15) Are connected to each other with a thin and flexible connecting piece (16) having a substantially square shape when viewed from the front, and the upper and lower outer surfaces of the front end portions of both engaging pieces (15) and (15) are substantially V-shaped when viewed from above. The locking claws (17) and (17) are continuously provided.
On the upper and lower sides of the engagement pieces (15) and (15) in the substrate (11), the elastically deformable pressing pieces (18) and (18) whose tip ends slightly protrude toward the back side of the substrate (11). Has been cut out.
[0018]
When the fixture (10) is pushed into the fitting hole (9) with the posture shown in FIG. 2, the retaining piece (14) is pressed into the peripheral edge of the fitting hole (9) and slightly elastically deformed inward. After that, it elastically returns outward in the side cover (8). When the fixture (10) is pushed in until the pressing piece (18) comes into contact with the bottom of the fitting hole (9), the retaining piece (14) is engaged with the back surface of the peripheral edge of the fitting hole (9). The four projecting pieces (12) engage with the four corners of the fitting hole (9) (see FIGS. 5 and 8).
When the fixture (10) is attached to the fitting hole (9) in this way, the fixture (10) becomes immovable in the up / down / left / right and front / rear directions with respect to the side cover (8). It is impossible to rotate relative to the cover (8).
[0019]
The fitting pieces (15) and (15) of the fixture (10) integrated with the side cover (8) are fitted into the slits (3c) of the pillars (3) with the four corner projections (12) ( 6 and FIG. 7), when it is pushed into the engagement hole (3d), the locking claw (17) comes into pressure contact with the upper and lower edges of the engagement hole (3d), and the engagement pieces (15) (15) Are slightly elastically deformed toward each other.
When the locking claw (17) gets over the engagement hole (3d) and enters the support column (3), the engagement pieces (15) and (15) spread in the vertical direction, and the V-shaped locking claw (17 ) (17) is engaged with the back surface of the V-shaped groove (3a), and the back surface of the side cover (8) is in contact with the outer end surface of the column (3) (see FIGS. 6 and 8). The part cover (8) is attached to the column without rattling.
[0020]
Further, when the side cover (8) is attached to the column (3) in this way, the protruding piece (12) of the fixture (10) is fitted into the slit (3c) of the column (3). The fixture (10) does not rotate relative to the column (3), and the relative rotation of the side cover (8) integrated with the fixture (10) is also restricted.
[0021]
With the panel (P) removed from the frame (2), as shown in FIG. 9, from the inside of the frame (2) to the through hole (3e) of the support column (3), for example, a tip such as a driver (19) If the tip of the driver (19) is inserted, the connecting piece (16) is pressed outward at the tip of the driver (19), and the upper and lower engaging pieces (15) and (15) are elastically deformed in a direction approaching each other, The engagement between the locking claws (17) and (17) and the engagement hole (3d) is released, and the side cover (8) can be easily removed from the column (3).
[0022]
Even if the connecting piece (16) is provided so as to connect the intermediate portions of the pair of engaging pieces (15) as shown by an imaginary line (16 ') in FIG. can do.
[0023]
【The invention's effect】
According to the present invention, the following effects can be achieved.
(a) According to the first aspect of the invention, the side cover can be easily and reliably attached to the side surface of the column in the partition device, and the side cover can be easily removed.
Further, engaging holes in, simply by inserting the engagement pieces of a pair, it is possible to easily couple the side cover to the column, together engagement pawl of the engagement piece of a pair of engaging holes By engaging the back surface of the opposite edge part, the engagement is not distracted by vibration or the like, and the intermediate part of the connecting piece is pushed in with a pointed tool etc. By elastically bending the distal end portions inwardly, both the locking claws can be easily removed from the edge portion of the engagement hole, and the side cover can be easily detached from the support column .
( b ) According to the invention described in claim 2 , since the fixture can be attached to an arbitrary position of the side cover, it is necessary to prepare a plurality of columns and side covers having different lengths. This is convenient when the mounting position of the fixture must be changed.
