Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a partition panel used in a partition device for partitioning an office floor or the like.

2. Description of the Related Art A so-called partition device is used to easily partition an office floor or the like.

This product is assembled and assembled by arranging columns upright at appropriate intervals and connecting panels between these columns.
It is easy to install.

As a partitioning panel used for such an application, for example, a core material such as a plasterboard is cut into a rectangular shape, a surface plate of the same size is superposed on the surface side of the core material, and a U-shaped cross section is formed around both sides. It is known that the core member and the surface plate are formed into a single panel by assembling the frame body. In this structure, the support pillar and the panel can be connected by inserting a hook protruding from the frame body on the back surface side of the panel into the slit of the support pillar.

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION Problems to be Solved by the Invention In the related art, since the panel is hooked and connected to the front side of the column, the column is exposed on the back side of the panel in the finished state, and the entire partition device is exposed. The drawback of increased thickness was unavoidable.
Also, since the panel side hooks are only hooked to the slits of the support columns, a gap is created between the panels and the support columns, making it difficult to correctly position all the panels in the same plane, and the finished appearance will be unsatisfactory. There was a risk that it would be sufficient.

Therefore, in view of the drawbacks of the prior art, an object of the present invention is to make the substantial thickness of the partition device equal to the thickness of the panel by connecting the panels to the left and right side surfaces of the support via hooks. In addition, it is possible to easily achieve a very good finished appearance. It is to provide a new partition panel.

Means for Solving the Problems The constitution of the present invention for achieving such an object is a core material, surface plates attached to both surfaces of the core material, end plates attached to both end surfaces of the core material, and end plates. And a hook member having a pair of left and right downward hooks fixed to the back side of the end plate, the end plate has a groove formed in the center, and the hook protrudes into the groove through a slit formed in the groove. Therefore, the gist is to engage with the tapered slits on the side surface of the support column housed in the concave groove and to select the minimum inner protruding dimension smaller than the plate thickness of the support column.

Further, the upper end surface of the core member may be provided with an upper end plate having substantially the same shape as the end plate, and the upper end plate may be provided with a female screw for mounting the connecting fitting.

Operation According to the structure of the invention, the panel can be connected to the pillar by hooking the pair of left and right hooks protruding into the concave groove of the end plate in the slits on the side surfaces of the pillar.
At this time, since the slits of the support pillars are tapered, the panel can be accurately positioned with respect to the support pillars, and the hook has a minimum inner protrusion size smaller than the plate thickness of the support pillars. Can be properly attached to the column. That is, the panel can be connected to the side surface of the support column with extremely high accuracy and stability.

When the upper end plate is provided on the upper end surface of the core material, the panel can be connected to the support pillar or another panel that is connected to the opposite side with the support pillar interposed therebetween, through a connecting fitting attached to the upper end plate. Further, it is possible to easily realize a stronger connection state.

Example Hereinafter, an example will be described with reference to the drawings.

The partition panel 10 includes a core material 11, surface plates 12 and 12, an end plate 13, an upper end plate 14, and a hook member 15 (first part).

It is also possible to finish the painting without using the cloth 12b.

The end plates 13 are attached to both end surfaces of the core material 11 (first
Fig. 4, Fig. 4, but here only one end plate 13 is shown). The end plate 13 is formed by bending a thin steel plate into a channel shape and forming parallel protrusions 13a and 13a on both side edges to form a groove 13b in the center. The width and depth of the recessed groove 13b are set so as to be able to accommodate approximately 1/2 the width of the support column R to which the panel 10 is to be connected. End plate
A projecting piece 13c is formed at the upper end of 13 so as to be joined to the upper end plate 14 by bending the back surface side. Further, a pair of slits 13d and 13d are formed in the vertical direction at both upper and lower ends of the groove 13b.

The end plate 13 is integrally assembled with the surface plates 12 and 12 by joining the parallel protrusions 13a and 13a to the insides of the projecting edges 12c and 12c of the surface plates 12 and 12 (FIG. 4).

The hook member 15 is formed by bending a pair of left and right downward hooks 15a, 15a at an intermediate portion between a pair of upper and lower attachment pieces 15b, 15b (Fig. 1), and is fixed to the back surface side of the end plate 13. There is.
That is, the hooks 15a, 15a are the slits 13d, 1 of the end plate 13.
After projecting into the groove 13b through 3d, the mounting pieces 15b, 15b are spot-welded to the rear surface of the end plate 13 to make the end plate 13
(Figs. 3 and 4). It should be noted that each position of the hooks 15a, 15a ... Corresponds to the slits R1, R1 ... On the side surface of the column R that connects the panel 10, and at this time, the minimum protruding dimension k inside the hooks 15a, 15a. It is assumed that the thickness is selected to be slightly smaller than the plate thickness of the pillar R.

The upper end plate 14 is formed in substantially the same shape as the end plate 13 (first
Figure). Female screws 14a, 14a for attaching the connecting fitting C are formed at both ends of the upper end plate 14. The upper end plate 14 is assembled integrally with the end plate 13 by joining the joining projecting piece 14b formed at the end to the projecting piece 13c of the end plate 13 (FIG. 3). The female screw 14a is threaded on the boss 14c that is fixed to the rear surface of the upper end plate 14.

However, the skirting boards W, W are to be attached to the lower part of the panels 10, 10 and are fixed by hooking the two skirting boards W, hooks W1, W1 of the skirting boards W, to the slit R2 of the support R. be able to. Other slits R3, R3 ... Are provided above the front surface of the support column R for attaching a hanging shelf or the like.

Base bracket R4 for height adjustment at the lower end of the post R
Is installed. The base bracket R4 is screwed to the lower end of a screw rod R4a that vertically penetrates the inside of the support column R (Fig. 3), and the upper end of the screw rod R4a is a nut R4.
It is fixed to the upper end plate R4c of the support R via b and R4b. In addition, in the middle part of the screw rod R4a, a disk-shaped spacer R
4d is attached (Figs. 3 and 4).

The slit R1 of the column R is tapered so that the upper and lower ends thereof are approximately equal to the plate thickness of the hook 15a (fifth portion).
Figure). Therefore, by hooking the hooks 15a, 15a ... On the slits R1, R1.
Can be accurately positioned forward and backward with respect to the support column R. Moreover, the minimum protruding dimension k inside the hook 15a is
Since the thickness is selected to be slightly smaller than the plate thickness of the column R, at this time, the lower portion immediately near the slit R1 is slightly deformed by the hook 15a (FIGS. 3 and 4), and the panel 10 is
It is strongly attracted to the column R, and can be fixed in a state where it is properly closely attached to the column R. In addition, the end plate 13 of the panel 10
The concave groove 13b of the support R is defined so as to accommodate about half the width of the support R, and thus the support groove 2 is formed on both sides of the support R in this manner.
If the panels 10, 10 are connected,
The slit d can be left and almost the entire surface can be covered with the panels 10 and 10 (FIG. 4).

Next, female screws 14a, 1 on the upper end plates 14, 14 of the panels 10, 10
4a ... is used to attach the connecting fitting C via the small screw C1 (FIG. 2). The connecting metal fitting C can be fastened to the threaded rod R4a of the support R via the nut R4b on the upper side (two-dot chain line in FIG. 3).
Since 10 and 10 can be connected, the pillar R and the panel 1
The connection state with 0 and 10 can be further strengthened. In addition, when only one panel 10 is connected to the support R, the connecting metal fitting C is replaced with the one shown in the drawing so that the connecting metal fitting C does not protrude to the side of the other panel 10 and has a length of about half. You can use the one.

In the above description, the width of the slit d left on the front and rear surfaces of the support R can be arbitrarily changed by appropriately adjusting the depth of the groove 13b of the end plate 13. That is, d =
It is possible to make the end plates 13 of the left and right panels 10, 10 in close contact with each other as 0, and to widen the slit d to a size substantially the same as the width of the pillar R.

EFFECTS OF THE INVENTION As described above, according to the present invention, the hooks of the hook members projecting into the concave groove of the end plate are paired to the left and right, and are hooked in the tapered slits on the side surfaces of the column, and the minimum inner projection By making the dimension smaller than the plate thickness of the column,
If the hooks are hooked in the slits of the pillar, the panel can be accurately and stably connected to the side surface of the pillar, and at this time, the entire thickness including the pillar is substantially the same as the thickness of the panel. Can be very good,
It has an excellent effect that a thin and smart appearance can be easily realized.
