Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a strut device for partitions, which can be assembled by arbitrarily selecting a mounting angle of a panel.

BACKGROUND ART A partitioning device has been developed in order to easily partition an office floor or the like.

In this structure, generally, columns are erected on the floor surface at appropriate intervals, and the columns are connected to each other through a panel, thereby completing the partition.

The columns used in the partitioning device having such a configuration generally use hollow quadrangular prisms, and the panel is connected to the columns in a direction perpendicular to each surface of the peripheral wall forming the quadrangular prisms. I'm supposed to go. That is, a vertically long slit is formed on each surface of the peripheral wall of the column, and a hook protruding from the rigid frame of the panel is hooked to the slit.
The panels can be connected to the columns.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] According to the related art, since the support columns are quadrangular prisms, the relative horizontal angle of the panel connected to one support column is limited to 90 degrees or 180 degrees. However, there is a problem in that it is not possible to realize a mounting angle other than this, and thus it is not possible to accurately meet the various needs required for the partition.

Therefore, in view of the circumstances of the prior art, an object of the present invention is to form locking protrusions at equal intervals in the generatrix direction of a cylindrical peripheral wall, and to use any of these locking protrusions for mounting. By connecting the panels via a member, the mounting angle of the panel connected to one pillar is 90 degrees, 180
It is an object of the present invention to provide a strut device for partitioning that can realize any angle including degrees.

Means for Solving the Problems A structure of the present invention for achieving the above object is to provide a support column formed with a plurality of rail-shaped engaging projections having a cross-section rail shape at equal intervals in a generatrix direction of a cylindrical peripheral wall, and a panel. And a mounting member having a pair of locking portions elastically engaged with the locking ridges on both side edges of the intermediate portion having a slit for connecting the locking portions. A pair of locking ridges with one inside,
For a pair of locking ridges with two insides,
The gist is that it can be engaged from the inside.

In addition, as for the support pillar, a pedestal having a slit for connecting the panels can be formed on a part of the peripheral wall.

In addition, the support pillar is internally provided with an adjusting member including a screw rod that is vertically immovable with respect to the support pillar and a base bracket that is screwed to a lower end portion of the screw rod, and the base bracket is configured by rotating the screw rod. The protrusion size from the lower end of the column can be adjusted.

Further, the threaded rod may extend to the upper end of the post.

Action According to the configuration of the present invention, the attachment member can be attached by elastically engaging the engaging portion with any one of a plurality of engaging protrusions on the peripheral wall of the column. On the other hand, the panel can be connected to the support post through a slit formed in the middle of the mounting member, depending on the position of the locking ridges that engage the mounting member, 90 degrees around the support post, 18
It is possible to connect by any attachment angle including 0 degree.

In addition, each locking ridge has a rail-shaped cross section, and the locking portion of the mounting member has a pair of locking ridges with one inside and a pair of locking ridges with two inside. Since the panels can be engaged from the outside and the inside, respectively, the panel to be connected via the mounting member can change the angle of formation of the locking ridge by selecting the mode of engagement of the mounting member with the locking ridge. The mounting angle can be set for each 1/2.

When forming a pedestal that has a slit for panel connection on a part of the peripheral wall of the column, the pulse can be directly connected in the direction of this pedestal without using a mounting member. Can proceed and is extremely convenient.

When the adjusting member is installed in the support, the protruding size of the base bracket protruding from the lower end of the support can be adjusted by rotating the screw rod from the upper end of the support, and the level of the panel can be adjusted.

By extending the threaded rod to the upper end of the column, the threaded rod can be rotationally driven more easily from the upper end of the column.

Let me be installed.

The total length of the mounting member 31 is equal to the total length of the column main body 11,
In addition, it is a drawn-out shape member formed in a cross-sectional shape almost the same as the pedestal 11c of the strut body 11 (Fig. 6). That is, the mounting member
31 has a pair of engaging portions 31c, 31c at both side edges of an intermediate portion 31b having slits 31a, 31a ... For hooking the hooks P3, P3 ... Of the panel P (FIG. (A)). A ridge portion 31d is formed at a tip edge of each locking portion 31c so as to elastically engage with the locking ridges 11b, 11b of the column main body 11. A notch 31e having the same shape as the notch 11e of the column main body 11 is formed at the upper end of the intermediate portion 31b, and a slot 31f is formed at the lower end. Slits 31g, 31g, ... Are formed on both side surfaces of the intermediate portion 31b for attaching hanging shelves and the like (FIG. 2B).

The engaging portions 31c, 31c of the mounting member 31 engage with the engaging protrusions 11b, 11b, ... Of the strut body 11 from the outside of a pair of one of them through the protrusions 31d, 31d. (Fig. 3), so that it can also be engaged with a pair of inner sides of two of them (Fig. 3).
(Fig. 10), the overall cross-sectional shape shall be determined.

First and second connecting fittings 32 and 33 are used to strongly connect and fix the mounting member 31 to the column 10 (FIGS. 1 and 7). The first connecting fitting 32 is also used when the panel P is directly connected to the pedestal 11c of the column main body 11.

The first connecting fitting 32 includes engaging members 32b at both ends of a strip body 32a fitted in the notches 11e, 31e of the column body 11 and the mounting member 31.
32b is formed (Fig. 8). The tip ends of the engaging portions 32b and 32c can be engaged with the locking projections 11b of the column body 11, respectively, and can be engaged between the dovetail groove 32d and the two locking projections 11b and 11b. A dovetail 32e is formed. Each engaging part 32
b and 32c have round holes 32 through which the screw rod 21 of the adjusting member 20 can be inserted.
f and 32f are bored, and long holes 32g and 32g are formed in the band-shaped portion 32a.
... is provided.

The second connecting fitting 33 is formed by bending the plate material in two steps in opposite directions to form horizontal pieces 33b and 33c at both ends of the vertical portion 33a (FIG. 9). The vertical portion 33a has two screw holes 33.
d and 33d are formed on the horizontal pieces 33b and 33c,
A dovetail groove 33e and a dovetail 33f similar to those in the first connecting fitting 32 are formed.

The method of using the strut device for partitioning having such a configuration is as follows.

First, using the pedestal 11c of the pillar body 11, one panel P is connected. That is, by hooking the hooks P3, P3 ... Of the panel P on the slits 11d, 11d ... Of the pedestal 11c,
The panel P is formed by sandwiching the pedestal 11c so that the pillar main body 11
Can be connected to (Fig. 10). Next, the pillar body
The first connecting fitting 32 is screwed to the upper end portion of the column main body 11 by using the screw rod 21 and the lock nut 21e internally provided in the column 11. At this time, the connecting fitting 32 may utilize either side of the round holes 32f, 32f. Since the connecting metal fitting 32 thus attached projects horizontally into the groove P4 on the upper side of the panel P through the notch 11e of the pedestal 11c, the connecting metal fitting 32 is attached to the frame P1 of the panel P by the set screw T1. If tightened to panel P
It is possible to complete the connection between the column main body 11 and.

Subsequently, another panel P is connected to the pillar body 11 via the mounting member 31.

The mounting member 31 has its projections 31d, 31d for the arbitrary pair of locking projections 11b, 11b of the strut body 11 according to the mounting angle of another panel P to the panel P previously connected. It can be attached by elastically engaging. At this time, the mounting member 31 may sandwich the pair of locking projections 11b, 11b, which cover the one locking projection 11b, from the outside (FIG. 3), and the two middle locking pieces. Since it may be fitted inside the pair of locking projections 11b, 11b provided with the projections 11b, 11b (Fig. 10), either of them can be selected depending on the mounting angle of the panel P.

However, the locking projections that engage the mounting member 31 in this manner
When 11b and 11b are decided, one or two in the middle
For the locking projections 11b, 11b of the book, from the end of the pillar body 11,
It is assumed that the second connecting fitting 33 is attached in advance. Since the connecting fitting 33 has a dovetail groove 33e and a dovetail 33f, it can be attached to either one locking projection 11b or two locking projections 11b and 11b by properly using these. Yes (Figs. 3 and 11).

After the mounting member 31 is engaged with and mounted on the predetermined pair of locking projections 11b and 11b, the coupling fitting 33 and the mounting member 31 are coupled via the set screws T2 and T2 (see FIG. 7). ), Mounting member
31 is firmly connected to the pillar main body 11 via the connecting metal fitting 33, and is not easily separated from the pillar main body 11. In addition,
At this time, the set screws T2 and T2 are screwed into the screw holes 33d and 33d of the coupling fitting 33 through the elongated holes 31f at the lower end of the mounting member 31. Further, since the lower end of the mounting member 31 thus mounted is placed on the disc portion 25a of the bottom metal fitting 25 mounted on the lower end of the column main body 11 (see FIGS. 10 and 11).
There is no risk that the mounting member 31 will accidentally fall downward.

Next, the slits 31a, 31a of the intermediate portion 31b of the mounting member 31.
After hooking the hooks P3, P3 of the panel P against the panel P and connecting the panel P to the column body 11, the first connecting fitting 32 is screwed from above the panel P with the set screw T1. (Fig. 10). However, at this time, the connecting fitting 32 has two locking projections between the locking projections 11b, 11b with which the mounting member 31 engages.
When there are 11b, 11b, one end of these locking ridges 11b, 1
The dovetail 32e side shall be used toward the strut body 11 so that it can be engaged with 1b, and the other side shall be used toward the strut body 11 in other cases.

When the connection of the panels P is completed in this way, the pillar body
By using other space on the peripheral wall 11a of 11, the other panels P, P can be continuously connected as needed (FIG. 11).

The height of the pillar body 11 is adjusted by the adjusting member 20 before and after connecting the panel P to the pillar body 11.
The level of the panel P can be adjusted. That is, when the lock nut 21e is loosened, the screw rod 21 becomes rotatable, so if the screw rod 21 is rotated left and right through the slot 21d, the base bracket 22 screwed to the lower end of the screw rod 21 will be The protrusion size (reference numeral d in FIG. 7) from the lower end of the column main body 11 can be arbitrarily adjusted.
Its total height can be freely adjusted and set. This is because the threaded rod 21 is internally immovable with respect to the column body 11 via the nut 21c and the upper metal fitting 24. The steady rings 23, 23 attached to the screw rod 21 are in contact with the inner surface of the column main body 11 to limit the bending of the screw rod 21 and reinforce the screw rod 21.

As described above, the panel P connected via the mounting member 31.
Selects the positions of the engagement ridges 11b, 11b to be engaged with the attachment member 31 with respect to the panel P connected via the pedestal 11c,
By changing the manner of engagement with the locking projections 11b, 11b, it is possible to set an arbitrary attachment angle for each half of the formation angle of the locking projections 11b, 11b ... For example, as shown in the figure, when the locking projections 11b, 11b ... Are formed on the peripheral wall 11a every 30 degrees, the mounting angles of the panels P, P are 90 degrees or more.
It can be set arbitrarily every 15 degrees within the range of 270 degrees (Fig. 3, Fig. 10, Fig. 11). Further, up to four panels P, P ... Can be connected to one column body 11 (FIG. 11).

The locking protrusions 11b, 11b ... Of the pillar body 11 may be formed at any angle other than 30 degrees. Also, the pillar body
In the case of 11, the pedestal 11c may be omitted, and the locking projections 11b, 11b ... May be formed on the entire circumference of the peripheral wall 11a.

EFFECTS OF THE INVENTION As described above, according to the present invention, among a plurality of locking projections formed on a cylindrical peripheral wall, any one pair of which one of the locking projections is formed or two of the locking projections is formed. Since the mounting members can be engaged with the pair and the panels can be connected via the mounting members, the mounting angle of the panel that can be connected to one strut is one of the formation angle of the locking projections. Every 90 degrees, every 90 degrees, 1
It has an excellent effect that it can be set to any angle, including 80 degrees, and can respond appropriately and easily to various needs.

Also, if a pedestal is formed on a part of the peripheral wall of the column, the panel can be connected to this part without using a mounting member. Regardless, there is a practical effect that the level of the panel can be easily adjusted from the upper end of the column.
