Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a connecting device for installing partition panels (hereinafter referred to as panels) in a T-shape or a cross shape.

Conventional methods for constructing partitions using panels include the stud method, in which studs that appear on the surface are sandwiched between them, and the stud method, in which recesses are provided on the end face of each panel, and the partitions are contained in the recesses. There is a driving method in which the joining posts, which do not appear on the surface of the partition, are surrounded one after another in order.

Therefore, the present invention relates to the later follow-up method.

According to this method, when deploying panels in two directions (left and right), the end of the panel that is installed last is used as an adjuster to fill in the gap with the existing panel to be joined. Attach the terminal processing equipment mold material. That is,
Panels with the same shape and pattern are lined up, and inconspicuous decorative joints are used in the very small gaps (joints) between the panels, but if the end of the panel that is added later is not used, it is difficult to It won't happen.

Therefore, in the three-way (T-shaped) and four-directional (cross-shaped) drive-in methods, when developing the panel, other joining members are applied (or (Place the joint part against the filled joint material) and connect it with screws to the joint support included between the panels. This is done by attaching panels crossed at right angles to other joining members. According to this conventional method, the panels in the two directions are expanded first, and the orthogonal panels or other connecting members are installed later. It is necessary to attach the profile of the end processing device for adjustability to the end of the other panel that was attached last, and therefore,
It was a huge loss to the beauty of the partition.

Furthermore, the conventional follow-up method has the following problems. In other words, when setting up panels using this method, it is important that the panels, in addition to the ceiling and floor, reinforce each other.
In this sense, joining with other panels at right angles in the development of a T-shape or cross-shape is an important point in the follow-up method.

However, according to the conventional method, in order to first extend the panels long in two directions, it is necessary to support the temporarily installed group of panels, or when they are first arranged and assembled on the floor, it is necessary to work together with all one's strength. This requires a minimum of seven to eight people to set up the partitions even in a short period of time. Even in the T-shape and cross-shape, since long two-way panels are used as a base, the number of manpower required does not change, but rather doubles.

The present invention has solved the above problems as follows. That is, a T-shaped or cross-shaped joining member is devised to be housed in a recess in the longitudinal end face of the panel, and the joining member is first attached to another panel that intersects at right angles, and then one panel in two directions is attached to that joining member. By means of a method and apparatus for joining a joining member and attaching a second panel to the joining member.

This will be explained below with reference to the drawings. The present invention includes a connecting body 1 made of a hard material such as metal, a connecting supplementary frame 2, and a connecting supplementary frame 2'.

The connecting body 1 in FIGS. 1 and 2 is a panel developed in three directions, and the connecting body 1 in FIG. 3 is a panel developed in four directions.

The connecting body 1, which can be expanded in three directions, is connected to the upper side of a large protruding part 5 having a square cross section through a narrow part 3 having a narrow width and a short outward protrusion at the center thereof. The small protrusion 4, which is half the size of the horizontal side, is connected to the large protrusion 5 on the sides (left and right sides in the figure).
It is a completely hollow vertically elongated shape member which is made to align and protrude, and of the surface portion having the side length of the square in the cross section, excluding the lower side portion, form the joint end surfaces 6, 6, 6.

The connecting body 1, which can be expanded in four directions, is connected to the upper and lower sides of the large protruding part 5, which has a square cross section, through narrow parts 3, 3, which have a narrow width and a short outward protrusion at the center thereof. As shown in FIG. 3, the small protrusions 4, 4 are approximately half the width of the square.
A completely hollow vertically elongated structure with a large protruding portion 5 and side surfaces (left and right surfaces in the figure) aligned and protruding, and a surface portion having the side length of the square in the cross section serving as a joint end surface 6, 6, 6, 6. It is a mold material.

That is, the only difference between the connecting body 1 that can be expanded in three directions and the connecting body 1 that can be expanded in four directions is whether or not the large protruding portion 5 has a narrowing portion 3 and a small protruding portion 4 on the lower side thereof. As shown in the figure, in the cross section, the connecting body 1 is bilaterally symmetrical with respect to the vertical center line, and the connecting body 1 that is developed in four directions is vertically symmetrical with respect to the horizontal center line.

Next, the connecting supplementary frame 2 is a vertically elongated frame attached to the vertical end face of the panel 9 that can be expanded in two directions, and has a substantially inverted concave shape in cross section. , 8 parts are left, the center is cut out, and the protruding part on the lower side is made into a recessed part 7, and one (in the case of FIGS. 1 and 2) or two (in the case of FIGS. 3) is fitted tightly into the groove of the narrowed part 3 of the connecting body 1, the large protruding part 5 is sandwiched between the two projecting walls 8, 8, and the concave part 7 is inserted into the joint end surface 6 of the large protruding part 5. It is assumed that it is exactly circumscribed.

Next, another connecting support frame 2' is a longitudinally extending frame 2' that intersects the two-way expansion panels 9, 9 at right angles and is attached to the intersecting vertical end surfaces of another panel 9' that starts three- or four-way expansion. The frame body has a substantially inverted concave shape in cross section, and the upper side of the inverted concave shape has protruding walls 8' at both ends.
8' is left, the center is cut out, and the protruding part on the lower side is made into a recessed part 7', and the protruding walls 8', 8' extend side surfaces of the small protruding part 4 of the connecting body 1. , the groove width of the narrowed part 3 is left at the front end, and the recessed part 7' is in close contact with the joint end surface 6, and has a shape that is almost similar to that of the connecting complement 2. be.

Now, to describe the panel construction according to the present invention from the perspective of three directions, first, another connecting supplementary frame 2' is attached to the vertical end face of another panel 9' that is installed vertically and is planned to intersect at right angles, and this concave portion 7 ' Figures 1 and 2
The small protrusion 4 of the connecting body 1 for three-way deployment shown in the figure is fitted inside, and the concave part 7' and the joining end surface 6 of the small protrusion 4 are brought into close contact with each other, and the projecting walls 8',
The connecting body 1 and the other panel 9' are connected by bringing the panel 8' into tight contact with the side surface.
Next, one panel 9 that can be expanded in two directions is positioned in that direction, and a connecting supplementary frame 2 is attached to the orthogonal intersecting end surfaces thereof.
, and tightly frame the first longitudinal protrusion (the first projecting wall 8 forms this) facing the longitudinal groove formed surrounding the narrow part 3 of the connecting body 1. First, by sandwiching the upper and lower side surfaces of the large protrusion 5 with the vertically elongated protrusion formed by the other projecting walls 8, and bringing the concave part 7 and the joint end surface 6 into tight contact,
The connection body 1 and one panel 9 are connected. At this stage, the L-shaped panels 9, 9' are erected. Next, the second panel 9 in the two directions is
Direct the other large protrusion 4 of the connecting body 1 in the vertical panels 9, 9' toward the open end surface (the other joint end surface 6), attach the connecting supplementary frame 2 to the orthogonal crossing end surface thereof,
While the vertically long protrusion formed by one projecting wall 8 is tightly fitted into the longitudinal groove formed surrounding the narrow part 3, the upper and lower sides of the large protruding part 5 are fitted with the other projecting wall 8. 1 and 2, and as in the first panel 9, the recessed portion 7 and the joining end surface 6 are brought into close contact with each other and connected. According to the above, panels 9, 9', 9 in three directions
are concatenated.

Next, regarding the four-way expansion, the connecting entity 1 is the third
The only difference from the three-way expansion is that the four-way expansion shown in the figure is used and another panel 9' is attached at right angles. That is, with respect to the connecting body 1, first, the other panel 9' that intersects at right angles is connected to the one small protrusion 4, and then the one panel 9 that is expanded in two directions is connected to the projecting walls 8, 8. The vertically long protrusion formed by the large protrusion 5 is connected by fitting into the groove formed by the two narrow parts 3, 3 that sandwich the upper and lower sides of the large protrusion 5, and then the other panel 9' is connected to the other right-angled intersection part. is connected to the other small protrusion 4,
Next, in the same way as the first panel 9, the second panel 9 that can be expanded in two directions is brought into contact with the joint end surface 6 of the large protrusion 5, and the panels 9, 9', 9, 9 are expanded in four directions. ' are concatenated.

In either the three directions or the four directions, the connecting body 1 is subsumed inside the longitudinal end face of the panel and is not exposed on the surface, satisfying the requirements of the follow-up method of panel expansion.

In terms of the workability of panel installation, the present invention can be carried out by only 2 to 3 people, and as mentioned above, the terminal treatment for adjustment, which is extremely simple and laborious, is troublesome, and above all is aesthetically problematic. The fact that the device does not have to be used for T-shaped and cross-shaped connections is not only aesthetically pleasing but also extremely workable, compared to conventional methods that require the use of this device. It can be said to be a thing. In addition, in the conventional method of first including a connecting support in a two-way panel, then screwing another connecting member to it, and connecting other panels that intersect at right angles, it is attached after the right-angled intersection. The handling of the panel is
The present invention has successfully solved the problem of the problem of partitions, which was a work that occurred at the end of a blind alley.

In terms of the solidity of the partition finish, the structure of the connecting body 1 of the present invention and the integrally constructed column make it more stable and solid than conventional joint members that are secured with screws. It provides a connection and works to compensate for the weakness of missing studs in the drive-in method.

The shapes of the connecting body 1, the connecting frame 2, and the other connecting frame 2' of this device are all the same or symmetrical on the left and right sides (or the top and bottom), and are easy to manufacture. , by adjusting the size of the protrusion and narrowing portion, and therefore the size of the projecting wall 8 and recessed portion 7,
It can be used for large walls with panel widths and small walls with small panel widths.

The effect that is most required for a partition, which is to maintain a natural appearance and maintain an aesthetic appearance, has been described above.
