DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings. The upper rail 1 has a substantially inverted U-shaped cross section, and a runner receiving piece 8 extends substantially horizontally from the lower end of the rail side wall 7. On the upper end surface of the partition body 2, a hanging side runner 3a and a running runner 3 are provided on the hanging side and the opposite end thereof.
The runner rollers 3c of these runners 3a and 3b are mounted on the runner receiving piece 8 so as to be freely movable, and the partition body 2 is built so as to be movable relative to the upper rail 1. For example, a catch 9 is built inside the upper rail 1 on one end side of the opening, and the catch 9
A pivot receiver 11 is provided on the floor below.

A recessed step 2a is formed at the upper end of the partition body 2, and a swinging arm 6 is housed in the recessed step 2a.
It is pivotally mounted around a. A running runner 3b is held at the tip of the swinging arm 6 so as to be rotatable about a vertical axis 5b. The runner rollers 3c of the suspension side runner 3a and the traveling runner 3b are mounted on the runner receiving piece 8 of the upper rail 1.

[0008] In order to open and rotate the partition body 2 so as to be substantially orthogonal to the upper rail 1, it is necessary to open the partition body 2 with respect to the upper rail 1 at one vertical stile 10 at the opening.
The suspension side runner 3a is inserted into the catch 9, and the pivot shaft 12 as the lower rotating shaft 4 provided at the lower part of the partition body 2 is lowered by operating the operating handle 17 to open the pivot shaft. 12 into the pivot receiver 11,
In this held state, the partition body 2 is opened and rotated relative to the upper rail 1. In such opening rotation of the partition body 2, the swing arm 6 rotates around the vertical axis 5a with respect to the partition body 2, and the running runner 3b rotates around the vertical axis 5b with respect to the swing arm 6. The partition body 2 opens and rotates with respect to the upper rail 1 while leaving its running runner 3b inside the upper rail 1.
This avoids forming an opening on the side for protruding the running runner 3b.

[0009] The upper end surface of the partition body 2 has a recessed step portion 2a.
is formed, and an insertion receptacle 13 having a U-shaped cross section is installed in this recessed stepped portion 2a, and the swinging arm 6 is inserted into this insertion receptacle 13 from its side opening. The lock rod 14 provided on the second side is raised by operating the handle 15, and the lock rod 14 is inserted into the insertion receptacle 13 and the through hole 16 of the swing arm 6 inserted into the insertion receiver 13. 6 cannot swing relative to the partition body 2, so that the partition body 2 cannot open and rotate while the vehicle is running.

[0010] The structure for raising and lowering the lock rod 14 and the holding structure for rotating the hanging base side of the partition body 2 can be modified in various designs.

[0011]

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, in the present invention, a swinging arm is pivotally attached to the middle part of the upper end surface of the partition body so as to be swingable about a vertical axis, and a running runner is held at the tip of the swinging arm. Therefore, in order to open and rotate the partition body approximately perpendicularly to the upper rail around the suspension side runner and a rotating shaft formed approximately coaxially therewith, the swing arm is attached to the partition body. The partition body rotates around the vertical axis, and the partition body opens and rotates relative to the upper rail, while the running runner remains inside the upper rail, and an opening is formed on the upper rail side to allow the running runner to protrude. In addition, since the swing arm is housed in the recessed step formed at the upper end of the partition, the swing arm can be installed to improve the appearance of the partition. This has the advantage that the appearance of the upper part of the partition can be enhanced by avoiding the formation of a step at the upper end and by making the upper end of the partition into a substantially straight line.
