Description

  The present invention relates to a partition panel, and more particularly to an interior partition panel that can be easily attached and detached in an indoor space.

  In indoor spaces such as department stores, exhibition halls, and offices, partition panels are widely used for partitioning booths and the like, and are often separated to suit various tasks. For these partitions, fixed height panels are prepared for each height, and from these, select a partition that is suitable for various tasks and use it, or cut it to the required height at the time of use Was being constructed.

  On the other hand, there is also known a partition whose height can be changed by expanding and contracting in the vertical direction because of the inconvenience that several kinds of heights need to be prepared for these fixed partitions.

  Such partition panels that expand and contract in the vertical direction are described in Patent Documents 1 to 3, for example. For example, Patent Literature 1 (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2005-273402) and Patent Literature 2 (Utility Model Registration No. 308869) disclose two panels provided to be vertically expandable and contractible, and A partition panel with locking means that can be fixed is described. When installing these partition panels, they can be fixed by extending the panels and fitting them into upper and lower runners provided on the floor and ceiling in advance, and removing the panels by reducing and removing them from the upper and lower runners. it can.

  Further, the partition panel of Patent Document 3 (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 4-108942) can be fixed to the top surface of a desk or the like, and can be vertically expanded and contracted according to the application. A partition panel having upper and lower panels adapted to be fixed to a partition panel is disclosed.

  As shown in FIGS. 2, 5, and 6, the lock unit 7 includes a large number of lock holes 8 provided at a predetermined uniform pitch P on opposing surfaces 4a of the second support member 4, and the first support member 3 And a lock member 9 that is provided on the mutually facing surfaces 3a and that can be engaged with the lock hole 8. As shown in FIG. 5, the lock member 9 is rotatably provided via a pivot shaft 22 to a lock member holder 21 provided at an upper end portion of the opposing surfaces 3a of the first support member 3.

  The pair of lock members 9 provided on the opposing surfaces 3 a of the first support member 3 are connected by an operation lever 23. The operation lever 23 is for simultaneously operating the two right and left lock members 9, and is fitted and attached to the insertion hole 24 of the lock member holder 21.

  The lock member holder 21 is a member formed to have a substantially U-shaped cross section in which the opposing surfaces are open, and supports the lock member 9 in a state of being housed inside. An insertion hole 24 is provided on the open surface side of the lock member holder 21, and a fall prevention claw 25 for preventing the operation lever 23 from falling is provided.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the lock member 9 is rotatable in the direction of the arrow 90 about the pivot shaft 22 as shown by a broken line in the figure by pushing the operation surface 9b of the operation lever 23 downward. is there. The engagement claw 9a of the lock member 9 engaged in the lock hole 8 is formed as a slope 26 with a chamfered lower surface and a horizontal surface 27 as an upper surface. On the other hand, the lock hole 8 includes a ratchet piece 28 provided to bend inward from the lower end side.

  For this reason, when the second support member 4 is extended as indicated by the arrow 91, the engagement claws 9 a are guided by the surfaces of the slope 26 and the ratchet piece 27, and the lock member 9 rotates around the pivot shaft 22. 7 is unlocked. On the other hand, when the second support member 4 contracts as indicated by an arrow 92, the upper surface 29 of the locking claw 9a engages with the upper edge 29 of the lock hole 8, so that the movement of the second support member 4 is restricted.

  The fixing unit 10 provided at the upper end of the second support member 4 includes a projecting member 11 and a spring member 12, and is attached to the upper end of the support by the mounting cap 30 inserted into the upper end opening of the second support member 4. Fixed.

  The extension member 11 includes a support portion 11a and a leg portion 11b, and is attached in a state where the leg portion 11b is loosely fitted to the attachment cap 30. The leg 11b has a length sufficient to make the movement width L of the extension member 11 larger than the pitch P of the lock holes 8 shown in FIG.

  Further, the spring member 12 is fitted and fixed to the spring support portion 31 located above the mounting cap 30. The spring member 12 urges the projecting member 11 upward in the drawing so as to separate the mounting cap 30 from the support portion 11a. As will be described later, the spring member 12 has an urging force to such an extent that the partition panel 1 according to the present embodiment can be arranged with necessary strength.

  The partition panel 1 according to the present embodiment is arranged indoors as follows. First, by operating the support leg unit 18 of the partition panel, the height of the adjustment leg 18b is adjusted according to the inclination or the level difference of the floor surface F to be installed. Note that the height adjustment at this time is preferably performed such that the upper panel 17 is horizontal with reference to the upper panel receiver 17.

  When the height adjustment of the support leg unit 18 is completed, the partition panel 1 is placed upright on a predetermined floor surface F, and the second support member 4 is pulled out to extend the support column 2. As described above, when the partition panel 1 is extended, the second support member 4 is nested in the first support member 3, and the second panel 6 is connected to the first support member 3 and the first panel 5. Since it is housed in the second panel member housing space 15 formed therebetween, it is not necessary to support the second panel 6 and the second support member 4 with the hand supporting the partition panel 1. For this reason, the work of extending the partition panel 1 is simplified.

  As described above, the lock unit 7 employed in the partition panel 1 according to the present embodiment can freely extend the column 2 without being locked at the time of extension. By extending the support 2 further in a state where the support portion 11a of the fixed unit 10 provided at the upper end of the support 2 is in contact with the ceiling C surface, the extension member 11 moves so as to reduce the amount of protrusion.

  When the extension of the column 2 is stopped in a state where the extension member 11 is sufficiently contracted, the column is fixed to a predetermined length by the lock unit 7. At this time, when the engaging claw 9a is located between the lock holes 8, the support column 2 is fixed, and the support column slightly contracts. Since it is configured to be larger than P, the projecting member 11 does not return to the normal length when the lock unit 7 fixes the column. Therefore, the support column 2 is in a state of being stretched between the floor surface F and the ceiling surface C due to the repulsive force of the spring member 12 of the fixed unit 10, and the partition panel 1 can be maintained in an upright state. Further, in the partition panel 1 of the present embodiment, since the first panel 5, the second panel 6, and the support column 2 are all formed of hollow members and are lightweight, the supporting force required for standing the panels is small. The corner can be sufficiently fixed by the urging forces of the two spring members 12.

  When removing the partition panel 1 installed as described above, by depressing the operation lever 23, the lock members 9 of the left and right lock units 7 are released from the lock holes 8 and can be contracted, and the columns 2 are contracted. I do. Thereby, the tension between the floor surface F and the ceiling surface C is released, and the partition panel 1 can be removed.

  According to the partition panel 1 of the present embodiment, the support columns 2 are configured to be extendable and contractible, and the second panel 6 expands and contracts with respect to the first panel 5 according to the expansion and contraction of the support columns 2. Height dimensions can be adjusted. At the upper end of the column, a fixed unit 10 that can move in the direction of expansion and contraction is provided, and its movement width is configured to be larger than the fixed pitch P of the column member. Even in the case where the columns 2 are stretched, the panels can be arranged firmly and stably. Further, it is not necessary to provide a mounting jig on the ceiling and the floor surface for mounting the panel, and the panel can be easily mounted at an arbitrary position.

  The panel can be easily removed by releasing the engagement of the lock unit 7 and shortening the column 2. Therefore, there is little restriction on the mounting position, and it can be easily mounted and removed indoors.

  Note that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and can be implemented in other various aspects. For example, in the present embodiment, one set of the fixing units is provided at the upper end of the column, but for example, the fixing unit may be indirectly provided as a wide fixing unit via the upper panel receiver 17 on the column. Further, the mounting configuration of the urging member 12 for urging the protruding member 11 is not limited to the above embodiment, and a spring or the like may be provided inside the column.
