2. Description of the Related Art Unlike a general partition installed from a floor surface to a ceiling, a low partition or a partition is a simple booth partition wall arranged to create a unique working space in an office. Such a low partition is constructed by connecting and holding panels using studs standing vertically from the floor as a kind of joint, and adjacent panels centering on the studs are bent and arranged at a predetermined angle.

By the way, in the conventional type low partition, a one-way system in which a stud is arranged in one plane is arranged, a two-way system in which it is bent in an L-shape, and a three-way system in which it is arranged in a T-shape are mainly connected. It is a model and a stud dedicated to the model is used to connect to such a model. That is, the panel layout of the desired type cannot be performed without the dedicated studs. Therefore, the form of the low partition is determined at the manufacturing stage, and it is not possible to freely change the layout after installation.When changing the layout of the panel, a new stud that can connect the panels in that direction must be installed. You need to prepare.

In addition, when changing the arrangement, it is not possible to remove only the predetermined panel and change the direction, and it is necessary to dismantle the entire raw partition. On the other hand, in the conventional type connecting structure, the heights of the panels connected through a single stud must be the same, and it is not possible to form a combination with a different panel. Therefore, in recent years, a device capable of connecting and arranging panels in all directions by using the same stud is disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 19086/1991.
No. 0 publication.

The device described in this publication has a structure in which a cylindrical stud having a plurality of slit grooves is used and a panel is connected to the slit grooves through an appropriate connecting member. It is possible to adjust the angle by the number of the formed slit grooves, and the panel can be arranged in that direction. However, this device also has to remove the connecting member attached to the panel side end from the slit groove of the stud and insert it into another slit groove when trying to change the arrangement of the panel. Requires the work of dismantling and reassembling the entire raw partition once, and the direction change is limited to the number of slit grooves formed in the stud.

[0006]

As described above, the conventional low partition connection structure has the above-mentioned problems. The problems to be solved by the present invention are these problems, and it is possible to change the layout of the panel more than the number of slit grooves by a simple work for a very short time without disassembling the entire partition such as the low partition. (EN) Provided are a panel connecting fitting and a panel connecting device.

[0007]

The panel connecting device of the present invention is basically partly common to the structure of the "partitioning strut and the same strut device" according to Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 1-190860, and has a slit groove. Panels are connected through the formed studs, and a connecting member is attached to the panel side end. However, in the present invention, the panel to which the connecting member is attached is arranged so that it can be oriented in any direction around the stud, and the adjuster receiver to which the adjuster bolt is screwed is attached to the lower end of the stud to adjust the adjuster. A locking groove is continuously formed around the periphery of the receiver. A claw fixed to the lower end of the connecting member is locked in the locking groove to support the connecting member and the panel. The connection fitting of the present invention is fixed to the upper end of the panel, and the connection fitting forms a fitting portion that fits in the slit groove of the stud.

Here, the fitting portions of the connecting fitting are formed on both sides thereof, the fitting portion at one end is formed closer to one side from the central axis of the connecting fitting, and the fitting portion at the other end is at the center. Formed on the part. Therefore, if the fitting portion of this connecting fitting is fitted into the slit groove, there are three ways of fitting it.
The direction of the connecting fittings is different for each. That is, it is possible to arrange three types of panels with the directions thereof being slightly different from one slit groove. The top of the panel is covered with a cap, and the tops of the connecting member and the stud are covered with a cap, so that the connecting fitting is not exposed to the outside.However, if the connecting fitting is removed from the panel, the connecting fitting alone can be separated from the slit groove of the stud. The result is that the orientation of the panel can be changed freely. Then, if the connecting metal fitting is fitted into the slit groove of the stud again and fixed to the upper end of the panel at an appropriate position, the positioning of the panel is fixed. here,
The connecting member is connected to the panel to support the panel and has a contact surface at the tip end that abuts the outer peripheral surface of the stud. Hereinafter, embodiments according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
