The runners 3, 20 are attached to the hanging shafts 2, 19 by engaging the protrusion 22 at the upper end of the runner 9 with the upper edge of the through hole 21. As shown in FIG. 3, one of the runners 3 and 20 has rollers 4 and 4 attached to both sides thereof so as to be rotatable in a vertical plane, and a guide wheel 23 is attached to the upper end of this runner 20 so as to rotate horizontally. It is attached freely.

Also, the other runner 3 among runners 3 and 20
Rollers 4 and 5 are respectively attached to runner shafts 24 and 24 protruding from both sides thereof so as to be rotatable in a vertical plane. Among rollers 4 and 5, one roller 4 is the first
As shown in the figure, a bevel gear-shaped driven gear 8 is carved all around the outer periphery of the inner surface of the roller 4, and a non-slip cushion material 25 is provided around the outer periphery of the roller 4.
is attached over the entire circumference, and a bearing 26 is provided between the inner circumference of the roller 4 and the runner shaft 24. In addition, there is a guide wheel 2 at the upper end of the runner 3.
3 is attached rotatably on a horizontal plane. A cylindrical rotary tube 6 is attached to the lower outer periphery of the cylindrical suspension shaft 2 on which the runner 3 is provided, so as to be horizontally rotatable. Intermediate gears 12 in the form of spur gears are respectively carved on the outer periphery of the lower end of the cylinder 6, and the driving gear 7 is meshed with the driven gear 8 of the roller 4.

A motor 9 is installed inside the partition panel 1 as shown in FIG.
The lower end of a drive shaft 10, which is mounted and supported in the vertical direction so as to be horizontally rotatable, is connected to this motor 9 via a reducer 27, and the upper end of the drive shaft 10 is connected to the upper frame 18 as shown in FIG. It is supported by a bearing 28 that projects upward and is fixed to the upper frame 18. A driving gear 11 in the form of a spur gear is attached to the upper end of the drive shaft 10, and the driving gear 11 is meshed with an intermediate gear 12 of the rotary cylinder 6.

Therefore, a ceiling rail 13 is attached to the ceiling that spans between opposing walls between rooms, and the runners 3 and 20 attached to the partition panel 1 as described above are inserted into the ceiling rail 13. The partition panel 1 is attached to the ceiling rail 13, and a movable partition device is constructed by attaching a plurality of other partition panels 1 of the same structure to the ceiling rail 13 in the same manner. Here, ceiling rail 1
3 is formed into a U-shaped cross section with an open bottom surface, and has running pieces 14, 14 extending over the entire length at the lower ends of both sides, and runners are provided on the top surfaces of the running pieces 14, 14 as shown in FIG. 3 and rollers 5 and 5 of a runner 20 as shown in FIG. Also ceiling rail 13
A guide protrusion 29 protrudes from the center of the ceiling surface over the entire length, and this guide protrusion 29 and the ceiling rail 1
The runners 3 and 20 are allowed to travel within the ceiling rail 13 while being guided by a guide wheel 23 between the inner surfaces of the runners 3 and 3.

In the movable partition device configured as described above, when the motor 9 is operated, the drive shaft 10 is rotationally driven, and the rotation of the drive shaft 10 is controlled by the intermediate gear 12.
The rotation of the rotating cylinder 6 is transmitted through the meshing of the drive gear 11 with the driven gear 8, and the rotation of the rotating cylinder 6 is transmitted through the meshing of the driving gear 7 with the driven gear 8, so that the rollers 4 of the runner 3 are rotationally driven. Ru. Like this, Koro 4
is rotationally driven and the rollers 4 roll on the running piece 14 of the ceiling rail 13, thereby causing the rollers 5 of the runner 3 and the rollers 5 of the runner 20 to rotate.
The partition panel 1 also rolls on the traveling piece 14 of the ceiling rail 13, and the partition panel 1 can be moved along the ceiling rail 13. Here, power can be supplied to the motor 9 by, for example, installing a band conductor carrying electricity over the entire length inside the ceiling rail 13, and introducing electricity from this band conductor into the partition pal 1 using a brush or the like. can. Further, the motor 9 can be controlled by a switch provided on the surface of the partition panel 1.

Then, a plurality of partition panels 1, 1... are arranged along the ceiling rail 13, and the side edges of the adjacent partition panels 1 are brought into contact with each other, and the partition panels 1, 1... are used to partition the rooms. This is what you should do. Furthermore, a storage rail 30 is connected to the end of the ceiling rail 13 as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, and each partition panel 1 that is lined up along the ceiling rail 13 and partitions between rooms can be moved to one side. When storing near a wall, one of the runners 3 and 20 of each partition panel 1 is introduced into the storage rail 30, and each partition panel 1, 1... is stacked parallel to the wall and stored. This is what you should do. At this time, as shown in FIG.
The guide wheels 23 of one of the runners 3 and 20 are installed in the storage rail 30, and the guide wheels 23 of the other runners 3 and 20 are installed in the extension of the ceiling rail 13 with a guide protrusion 29, respectively. By being guided, the runners 3, 20 are rotated around the hanging shafts 2, 19, and
20 can be automatically introduced into the storage rail 30 and the other into the extension of the ceiling rail 13.

Furthermore, although the runner 20 shown in FIG. 3 is conventionally attached to the partition panel 1, the runner 3 according to the present invention shown in FIG. There is no need to change the structure, and the power transmission to the driven gear 8 can be carried out by the rotary cylinder 6 attached using the hanging shaft 2, so there is no need to make major structural changes for power transmission. As a result, the partition panel 1 can be attached using the ceiling rail 13 designed for running the conventional runner 20 as it is, and the electrically driven system can be installed without having to replace the ceiling rail 13 that has been installed conventionally. The partition panel 1 of the present invention can be attached to the partition panel 1 according to the present invention.
