Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Technical field] The present invention relates to a partition device that partitions a room by running a partition panel along upper and lower rails, and more specifically, the invention relates to a partition device that partitions a room by running a partition panel along upper and lower rails. It relates to technology that is easy to assemble, maintain and inspect, and yet has a good appearance.

[Background Art] Conventionally, in a partition device, a runner is attached to the upper end of the partition panel and a pivot is attached to the lower end, and the partition panel can be freely run on the upper and lower rails via vertical running tools such as runners and pivots. However, since the upper and lower running tools are each installed independently on the partition panel, it is difficult to assemble them, for example, by relating their positional relationships, and it is difficult to assemble them, and it is difficult to assemble them with covers, etc. to improve the appearance. There was a problem that it became complicated. For this reason, Mikiakiaki
There is one shown in Publication No. 58-115683. In this type of shoji, the rotating shaft is placed inside the frame arranged in the vertical direction at the end of the shoji, together with the rotating shaft mounting member, and by placing it inside the frame in this way, the rotating shaft appears The mounting member is hidden from view to provide a good appearance. However, if the shoji is placed inside the frame that makes up the shoji, it is necessary to remove the frame during maintenance and inspection, which takes time and effort, and the frame, which is one of the parts that make up the shoji, has to be removed. There was a problem in that the shoji could become distorted when removed, making maintenance and inspection difficult.

[Purpose of the invention] The present invention was made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and its purpose is to easily incorporate the traveling mechanism section that supports the traveling implement vertically into the partition panel. To provide a partition device which is easy to maintain and inspect and can be finished with a good appearance.

[Disclosure of the Invention] In the present invention, a concave portion 56 that opens toward the outside of the panel is formed in the center in the panel thickness direction at one end of the partition panel 4, and the traveling tool 62
The traveling mechanism section 63 that supports vertically is housed and installed in the recess 56 so as not to protrude beyond the recess 56, and the opening of the recess 56 is connected to a joint cover 58 formed in a U-shape that conforms to the shape of the recess 56. The partition device is characterized in that an elastic cushion material 59 is provided on the abutting surface of the joint cover 58, and the partition panel 4 is movably mounted on the upper and lower rails 1 and 2 via a running tool 62. By configuring the device in this way, the above object can be achieved. In other words, by housing the traveling mechanism that supports the traveling tool vertically in the recess formed at the side end of the partition panel, assembly and maintenance and inspection can be easily performed. By covering it with a cover, you can easily enhance the appearance.Furthermore, since the traveling mechanism is covered with a joint cover, you can easily remove the joint cover when performing maintenance and inspection of internal parts. This can be done easily by removing the . Furthermore, the joint cover can make the traveling mechanism part invisible from the outside, and the presence of the elastic cushion material prevents impact from being applied to the traveling mechanism part when the partition panel is closed. Furthermore, the partition panel can be closed without any gaps by bringing the elastic cushion material into contact with the ends of other partition panels.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below based on the drawings.

A plurality of partition panels 4 are built so as to be freely movable between an upper rail 1 fixed to a lintel and a lower rail 2 fixed to a sill. These partition panels 4 have upper and lower rails 1,
2, and by bringing adjacent ones into contact with each other, the opening in the room can be closed and partitioned. In such a closed state, the locking means provided in the upper and lower portions of one side of the partition panel 4 locks the movement of the partition panel 4, fixes the position of each partition panel 4, and secures the partition panel 4. It is made so that it cannot be opened. To open the partition panel 4 and release the partition, operate the lock handle 6 of the partition panel 4 at the right end in FIG. The partition panel 4 at the right end is rotated around its right end portion so as to be approximately perpendicular to the upper and lower rails 1 and 2 to open it, and then the remaining partition panel 4 is moved slightly within the range of its locked state. By releasing the contact between the partition panels 4, the lock state of the remaining partition panels 4 is automatically released, and then, as shown in Fig. 3, the right end portion of each of the remaining partition panels 4 is released. It is rotated around the center to create a non-partitioned state. The partition panel 4 thus rotated into a non-partitioning state is gathered at the left end of the upper and lower rails 1 and 2, so that the opening in the room can be opened wide and the partition can be released.

The configuration for performing the above operation will be described in detail below.
