Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2006-299663 JP 2014-114644 A

Partition walls are known for separating the interior space of structures. Partition walls generally include a frame made up of studs and runners, and a board such as gypsum board attached to the frame.

However, standardized boards are generally used. As a result, when constructing partition walls, for example, it is easy to have to cut the boards on-site, which can make construction more complicated.

In consideration of the above, the present invention aims to provide a partition wall that does not require boards.

The partition wall of the first aspect comprises upper and lower runners arranged at intervals in the vertical direction, and a plurality of vertical members erected between the upper and lower runners and joined to form a wall along the upper and lower runners.

In the partition wall according to the first aspect , the upper runner and the lower runner are arranged at a distance in the vertical direction. A plurality of vertical members are erected between the upper runner and the lower runner. These vertical members are joined along the upper runner and the lower runner to form a wall.

By joining multiple vertical members together in this way to form a wall, boards can be omitted. Furthermore, the width of the partition wall can be adjusted by increasing or decreasing the number of vertical members. This eliminates the need for cutting boards on-site, improving the ease of construction of the partition wall.

The partition wall of the second aspect is the partition wall of the first aspect , further comprising a pair of upper runners that form a corner, each of the pair of upper runners having inclined ends that abut against each other at the corner.

The partition wall according to the second aspect includes a pair of upper runners that form a corner. Each of the pair of upper runners has an inclined end portion. By butting these inclined end portions together at the corner, the pair of upper runners can be made continuous without any gaps. This improves the design of the partition wall.

The partition wall of the third aspect is the partition wall of the second aspect , and is provided with reinforcing plates that are arranged across at least one of the upper surfaces and lower surfaces of the pair of upper runners and are joined to each of the pair of upper runners.

In the partition wall according to the third aspect , the reinforcing plates are disposed across the upper or lower surfaces of the pair of upper runners and are joined to the pair of upper runners, respectively. The reinforcing plates connect the pair of upper runners at the corners.

By placing the reinforcing plate across at least one of the upper surfaces and the lower surfaces of a pair of upper runners in this way, the reinforcing plate becomes less visible. This improves the design of the partition wall while also increasing the strength of the corners of the partition wall.

The partition wall of the fourth aspect is a partition wall of any one of the first to third aspects , and is provided with a vertical cover that is arranged across the end of the upper runner and the end of the lower runner and covers the end of the upper runner and the end of the lower runner.

In the partition wall according to the fourth aspect , the vertical cover is disposed across the end of the upper runner and the end of the lower runner. This vertical cover covers, for example, sharp corners at the end of the upper runner and the end of the lower runner, eliminating the need to chamfer the corners. This improves the design of the partition wall while reducing the effort required to process the upper runner and the lower runner.

As described above, the present invention makes it possible to provide a partition wall that does not require boards.

(First embodiment)
First, the first embodiment will be described.

Figure 1 shows a partition wall 20 according to the first embodiment. The partition wall 20 is arranged, for example, indoors, spanning a pillar 10 and another pillar (not shown). The partition wall 20 is, for example, a transom-opening wall with an opening at the top. This partition wall 20 has an upper runner 30, a lower runner 40, and multiple vertical members 50.

In each figure, arrow W indicates the width direction of the partition wall 20, and arrow T indicates the thickness direction of the partition wall 20. Furthermore, arrow H indicates the height direction (up and down direction) of the partition wall 20.

(Upper and lower runners)
The upper runner 30 and the lower runner 40 are formed of C-section steel with a C-shaped cross section. The upper runner 30 and the lower runner 40 are formed, for example, of light-gauge steel (LGS) or the like. The upper runner 30 and the lower runner 40 are arranged with their openings facing each other and spaced apart in the height direction (vertical direction) of the partition wall 20.

The upper runner 30 is positioned above the lower runner 40. The upper runner 30 is also positioned along the upper edge of the partition wall 20 with its opening facing downwards.

The upper runner 30 has a pair of flanges 32 that face each other in the thickness direction of the partition wall 20 (the direction of arrow T), and a web portion 34 that connects the upper ends of the pair of flanges 32. The pair of flanges 32 are joined to the upper ends of the vertical members 50 (described below) with multiple screws 36.

The lower runner 40 is positioned below the upper runner 30 and is laid on the floor 12. The lower runner 40 is also positioned along the lower end of the partition wall 20 with its opening facing upward.

The lower runner 40 has a pair of flanges 42 that face each other in the thickness direction (direction of arrow T) of the partition wall 20, and a web 44 that connects the upper ends of the pair of flanges 42. The pair of flanges 42 are joined to the lower ends of the vertical members 50 (described below) with multiple screws 46. The web 44 is also joined to the floor 12 with screws or the like (not shown).

(Vertical member)
A plurality of vertical members 50 are erected between the upper runner 30 and the lower runner 40. The vertical members 50 are formed of square steel pipes (square studs) with a rectangular cross section. The vertical members 50 are also formed of, for example, light-gauge steel (LGS) or the like.

Multiple vertical members 50 are arranged along the height direction (direction of arrow H) of the partition wall 20 and are arranged in a wall shape along the upper runner 30 and lower runner 40. These vertical members 50 form the wall portion of the partition wall 20.

The vertical members 50 have a pair of side surfaces 52 that face each other in the width direction (arrow W direction) of the partition wall 20, and a pair of wall surfaces 54 that face each other in the thickness direction (arrow T direction) of the partition wall 20. Adjacent vertical members 50 are arranged with their side surfaces 52 in contact. In this state, as shown in Figure 2, the side surfaces 52 of adjacent vertical members 50 are joined together with screws 56.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3, a through hole (pre-hole) 52H into which a screw 56 is inserted is formed in one side surface portion 52 of the vertical member 50. Furthermore, a work hole 52S into which a tool 14, such as a screwdriver, is formed in a location on the other side surface portion 52 of the vertical member 50 opposite the through hole 52H. The work hole 52S is larger than the through hole 52H.

In addition, a through-hole 52H into which a screw 56 is inserted is formed above or below the work hole 52S in the other side surface portion 52 of the vertical member 50.

As described above, adjacent vertical members 50 are arranged with their side surfaces 52 in contact. At this time, the through holes 52H of adjacent vertical members 50 are connected. In this state, a tool 14 is inserted into the work hole 52S of one of the adjacent vertical members 50, and screws 56 are used to screw into the two connected through holes 52H from the inside of one of the vertical members 50 using the tool 14, thereby joining the side surfaces 52 of these vertical members 50.

By joining adjacent vertical members 50 in this way and arranging multiple vertical members 50 along the upper runner 30 and lower runner 40, the multiple vertical members 50 are joined together in a wall shape. Furthermore, the wall surfaces of the partition wall 20 are formed by the wall surface portions 54 of the multiple vertical members 50.

As shown in Figure 2, the side surface 52 of the vertical member 50 that forms the end of the partition wall 20 is joined to the side surface 10S of the column 10 with screws 56.

As shown in FIG. 1, the upper ends of the multiple vertical members 50 are inserted (fitted) inside the upper runner 30. A pair of flange portions 32 of this upper runner 30 are respectively joined to a pair of wall portions 54 at the upper ends of the vertical members 50 by multiple screws 36.

The multiple screws 36 are arranged at predetermined intervals along the length of the upper runner 30, and the upper runner 30 and the vertical members 50 are joined by a screw 36 for every other vertical member 50 or every other vertical member 50.

The lower ends of the multiple vertical members 50 are inserted (fitted) inside the lower runner 40. A pair of flange portions 42 of this lower runner 40 are respectively joined to a pair of wall portions 54 at the lower ends of the vertical members 50 by multiple screws 46.

The multiple screws 46 are arranged at predetermined intervals along the length of the upper runner 30, and the lower runner 40 and vertical members 50 are joined by a screw 46 for every other vertical member 50 or every other vertical member 50.

(Partition wall construction method)
Next, an example of a method for constructing the partition wall according to the first embodiment will be described.

As shown in Figure 2, first, the lower runner 40 is laid on the floor 12 so as to span the column 10 and another column (not shown), and the web portion 44 of the lower runner 40 is joined to the floor 12 with screws or the like (not shown).

Next, the vertical member 50 is erected along the side surface 10S of the column 10. At this time, the lower end of the vertical member 50 is inserted inside the lower runner 40. In this state, one side surface portion 52 of the vertical member 50 is joined to the side surface 10S of the column 10 using multiple screws 56.

Next, another vertical member 50 is erected along the other side surface 52 of the vertical member 50. At this time, the lower end of the vertical member 50 is inserted inside the lower runner 40. The other side surface 52 of the vertical member 50 is brought into contact with one side surface 52 of the other vertical member 50. In this state, the side surfaces 52 of adjacent vertical members 50 are joined together with screws 56.

In this way, adjacent vertical members 50 are joined with screws 56, and multiple vertical members 50 are arranged in a wall shape along the lower runner 40. At key points, a pair of flange portions 42 of the lower runner 40 are joined with screws 46 to a pair of wall portions 54 at the lower end of the vertical member 50, respectively.

Next, the upper runner 30 is placed over the upper ends of the multiple vertical members 50 joined together to form a wall. In other words, the upper ends of the multiple vertical members 50 joined together to form a wall are inserted inside the upper runner 30. In this state, the pair of flanges 32 of the upper runner 30 are joined at key points to the pair of wall surfaces 54 at the upper ends of the vertical members 50 with screws 36, respectively.

The partition wall 20 is formed using the above procedure. If a gap is formed between the pillar 10 and the vertical member 50, a spacer member such as plasterboard may be inserted into the gap, and the vertical member 50 may be joined to the pillar 10 via the spacer member.

(effect)
Next, the effects of the first embodiment will be described.

As shown in FIG. 1, in the partition wall 20 according to this embodiment, the upper runner 30 and the lower runner 40 are spaced apart in the vertical direction (in the direction of arrow H). A plurality of vertical members 50 are erected between the upper runner 30 and the lower runner 40. These vertical members 50 are joined in a wall shape along the upper runner 30 and the lower runner 40.

In this way, in this embodiment, by joining multiple vertical members 50 into a wall shape, boards can be omitted. Furthermore, the width of the partition wall 20 can be adjusted by increasing or decreasing the number of vertical members 50. Therefore, in this embodiment, work such as cutting boards on site is no longer required, improving the ease of construction of the partition wall 20.

In addition, in this embodiment, the wall surface of the partition wall 20 is formed from multiple vertical members 50 made of light-gauge steel (LGS), thereby enhancing the design of the partition wall 20.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, when constructing the partition wall 20, first, a vertical member 50 is erected along the side surface 10S of the column 10. Then, by arranging other vertical members 50 using this vertical member 50 as a reference, the vertical accuracy of the partition wall 20 (vertical members 50) can be improved.

Second Embodiment
Next, a second embodiment will be described. In the second embodiment, the same components as those in the first embodiment will be denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted as appropriate.

Figure 4 shows a pair of partition walls 20 according to the second embodiment. The pair of partition walls 20 form a corner portion (corner portion) 20C. Specifically, the pair of partition walls 20 are arranged in directions perpendicular or nearly perpendicular to each other in a plan view, and are joined with their respective ends butting against each other at the corner portion 20C.

As shown in Figure 5, the ends (edges) of the upper runners 30 of a pair of partition walls 20 are angled inclined ends 30E. In plan view, these inclined ends 30E are inclined along a straight line connecting the inside corner 20C1 and outside corner 20C2 of the corner portion 20C.

The inclined ends 30E are formed, for example, by connecting the ends of the upper runners 30 at an angle. Furthermore, the inclined ends 30E of the pair of upper runners 30 are inclined at 45 degrees from the inside corner 20C1 toward the outside corner 20C2 with respect to the material axis direction (longitudinal direction) of the upper runners 30, and are butted together without any gaps at the corners 20C.

As shown in FIG. 4, the outer flange portions 32 of the pair of upper runners 30 abut against each other at the external corner 20C2. The external corner 20C2 of the pair of upper runners 30 is covered with transparent tape 38, which serves as an example of a protective cover. The transparent tape 38 is attached across the ends of the outer flange portions 32 of the pair of upper runners 30.

The transparent tape 38 can be omitted as appropriate. Although not shown, the ends (small edges) of the lower runners 40 of the pair of partition walls 20, like the upper runners 30 of the pair of partition walls 20, are inclined ends 30E that butt together at the corners 20C.

The outer flanges of the pair of lower runners 40 butt against each other at the external corners 20C2. The external corners 20C2 of the pair of upper runners 30 are covered by angles 48, which serve as an example of a protective cover.

The angle 48 is formed, for example, from a metal plate bent into an L shape and is positioned across the ends of the outer flange portions 42 of the pair of lower runners 40. The angle 48 is joined to the outer flange portions 42 of the pair of lower runners 40 with screws 49.

Note that angle 48 can be omitted as appropriate.

(Partition wall construction method)
Next, an example of a method for constructing a partition wall according to the second embodiment will be described. For ease of explanation, in Fig. 5, the construction order of the multiple vertical members 50 is shown as vertical members 50A, 50B, 50C, and 50D.

As shown in Figure 4, a pair of lower runners 40 are laid on the floor 12, and the inclined ends (not shown) of the pair of lower runners 40 are butted together at the corner 20C. In this state, the web portions 44 of the pair of lower runners 40 are each joined to the floor 12 using screws (not shown) or the like.

Next, two vertical members 50 (vertical members 50A in Figure 5) are erected on one of the lower runners 40 at the corner 20C, with their side surfaces 52 touching. At this time, the lower ends of the two vertical members 50 are inserted inside one of the lower runners 40.

Next, while adjusting the verticality of the two vertical members 50 (vertical member 50A in Figure 5), the side portions 52 of these vertical members 50 are joined together with screws (not shown). This makes it easier for the two vertical members 50 to stand on their own.

Next, erect a vertical member 50 (vertical member 50B in Figure 5) along the wall surface 54 of the vertical member 50 on the side of the other lower runner 40 at the corner 20C. At this time, insert the lower end of the vertical member 50 inside the other lower runner 40.

Next, the side surface 52 of the vertical member 50 (vertical member 50B in Figure 5) is joined to the wall surface 54 of the vertical member 50 (vertical member 50A in Figure 5) using screws (not shown). This makes it even easier for the two vertical members 50 to stand on their own.

Next, another vertical member 50 (vertical member 50C in Figure 5) is erected along the side surface 52 of one vertical member 50 on the side of the lower runner 40, and the side surfaces 52 of adjacent vertical members 50 (vertical members 50A and 50C in Figure 5) are joined together with screws (not shown).

Next, another vertical member 50 (vertical member 50D in Figure 5) is erected along the side surface 52 of the vertical member 50 on the other side of the lower runner 40, and the side surfaces 52 of adjacent vertical members 50 (vertical members 50B and 50D in Figure 5) are joined together with screws (not shown).

This procedure is repeated, with vertical members 50 alternately erected on one lower runner 40 side and the other lower runner 40 side, and adjacent vertical members 50 are joined with screws (not shown) to arrange multiple vertical members 50 in a wall shape along the pair of lower runners 40.

At key points, a pair of flange portions 42 of the lower runner 40 are joined to a pair of wall portions 54 at the lower end of the vertical member 50 using screws 46.

Next, a pair of upper runners 30 are placed over the upper ends of the multiple vertical members 50 joined in a wall shape along the pair of lower runners 40. At this time, the inclined ends 30E of the pair of upper runners 30 are butted together at the corners 20C.

Next, at key points, the pair of flange portions 32 of the upper runner 30 are joined to the pair of wall portions 54 at the upper end of the vertical member 50 using screws 36.

The above steps form a pair of partition walls 20.

(effect)
Next, the effects of the second embodiment will be described.

As shown in Figure 5, the pair of partition walls 20 according to this embodiment includes a pair of upper runners 30 that form the corner 20C. Each of the pair of upper runners 30 has an inclined end portion 30E. By butting these inclined end portions 30E together at the corner 20C, the pair of upper runners 30 can be made continuous without any gaps.

This improves the design of the corners 20C of the pair of upper runners 30. In particular, it improves the design of the protruding corners 20C2.

Similarly, as shown in Figure 4, a pair of partition walls 20 have a pair of lower runners 40 that form a corner 20C. Each of the pair of lower runners 40 has an inclined end portion (not shown). By butting these inclined end portions together at the corner 20C, the pair of lower runners 40 can be made continuous without any gaps.

This improves the design of the corners 20C of the pair of lower runners 40. In particular, it improves the design of the protruding corners 20C2.

In addition, the protruding corners 20C2 of the pair of upper runners 30 are covered with transparent tape 38. This transparent tape 38 covers the ends of the outer flange portions 32 of the pair of upper runners 30 that butt against each other at the protruding corners 20C2, thereby preventing objects from getting caught on those ends.

Furthermore, the use of transparent tape 38 minimizes the impact on the appearance of the protruding corners 20C2 of the pair of upper runners 30. Therefore, the protruding corners 20C2 of the pair of upper runners 30 can be protected while minimizing degradation of the design.

The protruding corners 20C2 of the pair of lower runners 40 are covered by angles 48. These angles 48 cover the ends of the outer flanges 42 of the pair of lower runners 40 that butt against each other at the protruding corners 20C2, thereby preventing objects from getting caught on those ends. Furthermore, if a cart or other object collides with the protruding corners 20C2 of the pair of lower runners 40, damage to those protruding corners 20C2 is prevented.

If the strength of the corners 20C is a concern, it is possible to reinforce the pair of upper runners 30 with a reinforcing plate 60, as shown in Figure 6. The reinforcing plate 60 is made of a rectangular metal plate and is placed across the top surfaces of the pair of upper runners 30.

More specifically, the reinforcing plate 60 is positioned along the top surface of one of the upper runners 30, with one end 60E1 reaching the corner 20C. One end 60E1 of this reinforcing plate 60 is joined to the top surface of the other upper runner 30 with screws 62. The other end 60E2 and middle portion 60M of the reinforcing plate 60 are also joined to the top surface of one of the upper runners 30 with screws 62.

By connecting the pair of upper runners 30 with this reinforcing plate 60, for example, if a cart or the like collides with the corner 20C of the pair of partition walls 20, the opening of the joints of the pair of upper runners 30 is suppressed. Therefore, tilting of the pair of partition walls 20 is suppressed.

The reinforcing plate 60 is not limited to being placed on the upper surfaces of the pair of upper runners 30, but may also be placed across the lower surfaces of the pair of upper runners 30, or across both the upper surfaces and the lower surfaces of the pair of upper runners 30. In other words, the reinforcing plate 60 can be placed on at least one of the upper surfaces and the lower surfaces of the pair of upper runners 30.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, when constructing a pair of partition walls 20, the vertical members 50 are erected in order starting from the corners 20C, and adjacent vertical members 50 are joined with screws (not shown), making it easier for the vertical members 50 to stand on their own. This improves the vertical accuracy of the partition walls 20.

(Third embodiment)
Next, a third embodiment will be described. In the third embodiment, the same components as those in the first embodiment will be denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted as appropriate.

Figure 7 shows a partition wall 20 according to a third embodiment. The partition wall 20 is a sleeve wall with one end positioned along a pillar or wall (not shown) and the other end formed with an opening 16 for a passageway or the like. A vertical cover 70 is provided at the end of the partition wall 20 on the opening 16 side.

As shown in Figure 8, the vertical cover 70 is formed from a C-section steel beam with a C-shaped cross section. The vertical cover 70 is also formed, for example, from a light-gauge steel frame (LGS). The vertical cover 70 has a pair of flange portions 72 that face each other in the thickness direction of the partition wall 20, and a web 74 that connects the ends of the pair of flange portions 72.

The upper ends (small edges) of the pair of flanges 72 are angled edges 72E without any corners. These angled edges 72E are formed, for example, by cutting the upper ends of the pair of flanges 72 at a 45-degree angle.

The lower ends (small edges) of the pair of flanges 72 are angled edges 72E without any corners. These angled edges 72E are formed, for example, by cutting the lower ends of the pair of flanges 72 at a 45-degree angle.

As shown in Figure 7, the vertical cover 70 is positioned across the end of the upper runner 30 and the end of the lower runner 40, and is attached to the partition wall 20 with a plurality of screws 76 while covering the end 20E of the partition wall 20. This vertical cover 70 covers the end 20E of the partition wall 20.

In addition, the upper inclined ends 72E of the pair of flanges 72 of the vertical cover 70 cover the corners 32C of the pair of flanges 32 of the upper runner 30. This prevents objects from getting caught on the corners 32C of the pair of flanges 32 of the upper runner 30.

Similarly, the lower inclined ends 72E of the pair of flanges 72 of the vertical cover 70 cover the corners 42C of the pair of flanges 42 of the lower runner 40. This prevents objects from getting caught on the corners 42C of the pair of flanges 42 of the lower runner 40.

(effect)
Next, the effects of the third embodiment will be described.

In this embodiment, the upper and lower ends of the pair of flange portions 72 of the vertical cover 70 are inclined ends 72E. Furthermore, the vertical cover 70 is positioned across the end of the upper runner 30 and the end of the lower runner 40. By covering the end 20E of the partition wall 20 with this vertical cover 70, the design of the partition wall 20 is enhanced.

Furthermore, the upper inclined end portion 72E of the vertical cover 70 covers the corners 32C of the pair of flange portions 32 of the upper runner 30. This eliminates the need to chamfer the corners 32C. Similarly, the lower inclined end portion 72E of the vertical cover 70 covers the corners 42C of the pair of flange portions 42 of the lower runner 40. This eliminates the need to chamfer the corners 42C.

In this way, this embodiment can improve the design of the partition wall 20 while reducing the effort required to process the upper runner 30 and lower runner 40.

(Fourth embodiment)
Next, a fourth embodiment will be described. In the fourth embodiment, the same components as those in the first embodiment will be denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted as appropriate.

Figure 9 shows a partition wall 20 according to the fourth embodiment. A fitting 80 is attached to the end 20E of the partition wall 20. The fitting 80 is arranged, for example, between the end 20E of the partition wall 20 and the pillar 10. The fitting 80 has a rectangular frame 82 and a door 84 that is attached to the frame 82 in an openable and closable manner.

Here, the upper frame 82U of the frame body 82 and the upper runner 30 of the partition wall 20 are connected by a reinforcing member 90. As shown in Figure 10, the reinforcing member 90 is made of an L-shaped steel beam. The reinforcing member 90 is also made of, for example, a lightweight steel frame.

As shown in Figure 9, the reinforcing material 90 is arranged across the upper frame 82U of the frame body 82 and the upper runner 30. One end of the reinforcing material 90 is joined to the upper frame 82U with multiple screws 92 while overlapping the upper surface and side of the upper frame 82U. The other end of the reinforcing material 90 is joined to the upper runner 30 with multiple screws 92 while overlapping the upper surface and side of the upper runner 30.

(effect)
Next, the effects of the fourth embodiment will be described.

In this embodiment, the upper frame 82U of the fitting 80 and the upper runner 30 of the partition wall 20 are connected by a reinforcing splice 90. This reinforcing splice 90 reinforces the fitting 80, preventing it from collapsing.

The reinforcing members 90 are made of lightweight steel, just like the partition wall 20. This enhances the design of the partition wall 20.

In this way, this embodiment can enhance the design of the partition wall 20 while preventing the fittings 80 from collapsing.

(Modification)
Next, modifications of the first to fourth embodiments will be described. Note that, although various modifications will be described below using the first embodiment as an example, these modifications can also be applied to the second to fourth embodiments as appropriate.

In the first embodiment described above, the vertical members 50 are formed by square studs. However, the vertical members 50 may also be formed by studs with a C-shaped cross section.

In addition, in the first embodiment, the partition wall 20 has an open transom. However, the partition wall 20 may also have a closed transom.

The above describes one embodiment of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to this embodiment. One embodiment and various modified examples may be used in appropriate combination, and the present invention can of course be implemented in various forms without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
