【Example】

 The present invention will be further described in detail with reference to the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 shows an example in which the connecting device of the present invention is applied to connect adjacent partition panels in a straight line, and FIGS. 2 to 6 show a typical embodiment of the present invention. Reference numeral 2 denotes a partition panel, and 2 denotes a connecting tool provided at least above and below the connecting end surface of the partition panel 1, respectively.

The partition panel 1 forms a frame body by connecting an upper frame 4 and a lower frame 5 between the upper and lower sides of both vertical frames 3 and 3, and the panel bodies 6 and 6 are formed on both front and back surfaces of the frame body. It is configured by attaching a hook by an appropriate means such as a hook. The vertical frame 3 is composed of a hollow rod, and its side end face is a connecting end face 7, and a groove 8 is formed at a central portion in the width direction of the connecting end face 7 along the length direction. In the portion, mounting openings 9 and 9 having a rectangular shape in a side view are formed over the connecting end surface 7 and the concave groove 8. Further, screw holes 10, 10 or through holes are formed in the recessed groove 8 adjacent to the upper and lower portions of the mounting opening 9, and an opening 11 is formed in the recessed groove 8 located below the screw hole 10 below. It is drilled.

The connecting tool 2 is provided with the connecting body 12, the opening 13 and the hook body 14 as a unit, and is inserted and mounted in the mounting opening 9 of the vertical frame 3. More specifically, the connector 2 has mounting portions 16, 16 which can be fitted in the recessed groove 8 integrally formed on the upper and lower sides of a box body 15 having one end opened so that the fitting opening 9 can be fitted and inserted. Each of the parts 16 is formed with a mounting hole 18 for fixing to the screw hole 10 with a screw 17, and at the lower part of the mounting part 16 below, the connecting body 12 is provided on one side in the width direction. The body 15 is integrally formed so as to sufficiently project from the opening end surface of the body 15, and the other side of the connecting body 12 is cut out to form an opening 13, and at the bottom of the connecting body 12 at least below the opening 13. The guide portion 20 is integrally projected so that the guide surface 19 is located so that its tip is substantially flush with the open end surface of the box body 15.

Further, the box body 15 is provided with the hook body 14 in which an intermediate portion is rotatably supported by a rotation shaft 21 which is vertical to one side in the width direction and is attached to the box body 15. The tip portion is set so as to project from the opening end surface of the box body 15, and the engagement surface 22 of the hook body 14 is also set at a position slightly projecting from the opening end surface. Further, a slope 23 is formed from the tip of the hook body 14 to the engaging surface 22, and the slope 23 is set so as to intersect the center plane in the width direction of the box body 15. That is, the tip of the hook body 14 is set to be closer to one side than the center plane of the box body 15 in the width direction. Further, an elastic body such as a coil spring 24 is interposed between the proper position of the hook body 14 and the inner surface of the box body 15 to elastically bias the tip end portion of the hook body 14 toward the center in the width direction, and The base 25 of the hook body 14 is stopped at an appropriate position by the stopper 25 fixed to the inner depth of the box body 15 so that the above position is set. In this state, the front end of the hook body 14 can be displaced outward in the width direction against the elastic force of the coil spring 24, and one side surface of the box body 15 can be forced to perform this displacement. The hole 26 is formed so that the lower end portion of the hook body 14 can be pressed by a tool such as a screwdriver inserted through the hole 26. Naturally, the hole 27 is also formed in the vertical frame 3 corresponding to the hole 26.

Therefore, in order to attach the connecting tool 2 to the vertical frame 3 of the partition panel 1, the box body 15 of the connecting tool 2 is fitted into the mounting opening 9 formed in the vertical frame 3, and the upper and lower attachments are installed. This is done by fitting the parts 16, 16 into the concave groove 8 and screwing a screw 17 into the screw hole 10 through the mounting hole 18 of the mounting part 16. Here, the front and rear surfaces and the inner rear end surface of the box body 15 are in contact with the inner surface of the vertical frame 3, and the upper and lower surfaces of the box body 15 are stopped by the notched ends of the concave groove 8, so that the connecting tool 2 is disengaged. Can be securely fixed without

When the connecting tool 2 is attached to the vertical frame 3, a connecting body 12 is provided so as to protrude toward one side with respect to the center of the connecting end face 7 in the width direction and is continuous to the opening 13 toward the other side. The opening 11 is positioned, and the engaging surface 22 of the hook body 14 is set so that its approximate center intersects with the connecting end surface 7. That is, the same connecting tool 2 is attached to the vertical frame 3 of one partition panel 1 and the vertical frame 3a of the other partition panel 1a, and when one of them is rotated 180 °, both partition panels 1 and 1a are The connecting bodies 12, 12a are located on both sides of each other on the connecting end face 7, and the connecting body 12 of one partition panel 1 can be fitted into the opening 11a through the opening 13a of the other partition panel 1a. The connecting body 12a can be fitted into the opening 11 through the opening 13 of the one partition panel 1. Further, the hook body 14 of one partition panel 1 and the hook body 14a of the other partition panel 1a are located on both sides of the connecting end face 7, and the slopes 23, 23a are in contact with each other.

Then, the connecting end faces 7, 7a of the one partition panel 1 and the other partition panel 1a are butt-joined to each other, whereby the connecting bodies 12 and 12a are respectively guided by the guide portions on the other side, as shown in FIG. At the same time, the slanted surfaces 23, 23a of the hook bodies 14, 14a slide as shown in FIG. 8 while being guided by 20a and 20 and fitted in the openings 11a, 11 to each other outwardly against the elastic biasing force. After the displacement, the engagement surfaces 22 and 22a are engaged with each other so as not to come out.

In the present embodiment, the connector 2 in which the connector 12 and the hook body 14 are integrated into a unit is shown. However, even if the connector 12 and the hook body 14 are separately prepared and attached to the vertical frame 3, respectively. It's good. Further, the hook body 14 is elastically biased by the coil spring 24 so that it can be displaced outward, but the base of the hook body 14 is fixed, and it can be displaced outward by using the elastic force of the material of the hook body 14 itself. Of course, it is also possible.

Further, in the present embodiment, an example in which the two partition panels 1 and 1a are linearly connected is shown, but it is also possible to connect them in a T-shape in plan view or a cross shape in plan view. In this case, it is also preferable for compaction that the connector 2 is incorporated in the corner strut, or that the corner strut is simply provided with the opening 11 and the connector 12 or only the hook body 14 fixed to the opening 11.
