Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to a device for successively connecting screen-like wall panels (hereinafter referred to as screen panels) in a partition. In particular, he is deeply concerned with the connection of the lower part of the screen panel.

Conventionally, when constructing a booth partition by connecting screen panels one after another, studs were erected on top of the adjuster (height adjustment device) or on the floor as a connecting device, and these studs and the screen panels were connected to each other by hanging grooves (or hole) and a hook (or an insertion piece). However, this method requires complicated connection means for the screen panels and studs, and moreover, the problem is that the studs are exposed on the finished surface of the partition.

For this reason, in recent years, a method has been used in which the screen panels themselves are interconnected without using studs. This new conventional method will be explained below using drawings. In this method, the screen panels 1 themselves are connected to each other as shown in Fig. 1, and an adjuster star 2 is attached to the lower part, as shown in Fig. 2. For this connection, box grooves 6, 6 having a downward U-shaped cross section are notched in the center of the upper end surface 3 and lower end surface 4 of the screen panel 1 toward both side surfaces 5, 5, and the box grooves 6 are Place the upper stopper 7 and lower stopper 8 to be inserted between the two screen panels 1 and 1, and use the screws 9 to insert the upper stopper 7 from above the screen panel 1 and the lower stopper 8 from below. It performs the connection.

According to this method, there are no gaps or exposed studs between the screen panels 1, and an aesthetically pleasing product can be obtained. However, the installation of the upper stop 7 is easy because it is done from above the screen panel 1 which has a large space, but the installation of the lower stop 8 is difficult because the screen panels 1, 1 are unstable and the screen panel There is a small space below 1,1 (for example, 100
mm), so it is impossible to use a screwdriver, etc., and it is difficult to install using a hex wrench, etc. by hand, so it is difficult to stack the adjuster 2 and connect it to the center of the lower stop 8. Also, it was difficult to erect the screen panels 1, 1 one after the other with the side surfaces 5, 5 facing each other without any gaps.

The present invention was made in an attempt to solve this latter drawback of the conventional connection method that does not use studs.

The embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. Screen panels 1 and 1 using the present invention will be described below.
