Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial field of application] The present invention relates to two partitions of a partition type, such as a linear shape in a plan view with the side end surface of one partition abutting the outer surface of the other partition. The present invention relates to an improvement of the connecting device in the case of connecting in an L-shape or the like, or in the case of connecting a partition and a column with the side end surface of the partition abutting one outer surface of the column.

[Conventional technology]

In order to connect the two partitions in a straight line or L-shape in a plan view, generally, a pillar having a rectangular cross section is erected at the connecting portion of the partition, and a side plate located on the opposite side of the pillar, Each partition is attached to the adjacent side plate.

As a means for attaching the partition to the support, generally, as described in, for example, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. Sho 63-200012, the side plate of the support is provided with a locking hole while the side end surface of the partition faces downward. A hook-shaped locking claw is fixed, and the locking claw is dropped into the locking hole of the column to be locked.

However, in this way, when the locking claws fixed to the side end surface of the partition are locked into the engaging holes formed in the side plates of the supporting pillar by dropping, the partition is attached to or removed from the supporting pillar. Since the partitions have to be lifted up one by one, there is a problem that the burden on the operator increases when performing the connecting work.

In order to solve this problem, in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 56-141204, the pivot with the base end of the locking claw is fixed to the wide surface of the partition so that the locking claw can project from the side end surface of the partition. It is rotatably mounted so that one end of this pivot is exposed on the wide surface of the partition, and it is proposed that one end of the pivot be formed with a concave hole that fits into the tip angular axis of the handle from the outside. There is.

Further, in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 38-8948, the tip of a locking claw, whose base end is pivotally movable up and down within the thickness of the partition, contacts the lower edge of a window hole formed on the side end surface of the partition. On the other hand, when the hooks of downward hook shape, which also project from the side end surface of the partition, are dropped into the locking holes vertically formed at predetermined intervals on the pillar and are locked, the locking claws are used. It is proposed that the locking claws be locked in the locking holes of the support pillars by utilizing the fact that the locking holes are pushed up and rotated by the lower edge of the locking holes.

[Problems to be solved by the device]

However, in the former prior art, the locking claw to be rotated has a shape of a side view, and it has to be penetrated through a pair of upper and lower locking holes of a counterpart member such as a column all at once. There was a problem that was.

On the other hand, in the latter prior art, since the mounting and dismounting direction of the partition is limited only to the vertical direction of the partition,
There is a problem that it cannot be applied to a partition that cannot move in that direction.

The present invention aims to provide a coupling device that solves these problems.

[Means for solving the problem]

In order to achieve this object, the device according to claim 1,

A locking body is formed in the hollow portion, and the locking portion at the tip is biased in the locking direction and pivots in the vertical direction. The locking body is projected to the wide surface side of the partition. With the slider, it is configured to move linearly in a direction that substantially intersects with the side end surface of the partition.
The other partition is provided with an engaging portion that engages with a locking body protruding from the side end surface of the one partition and holds the locking body in a non-retractable manner, and the one partition and the other partition One of the partitions is provided with an engagement releasing means for releasing the engagement of the locking body with the engaging portion, with the side end surface of the one partition abutting the other partition. The configuration is such that it can be operated from the wide surface side.

Further, in the invention according to claim 2, in a connecting device for connecting the partition and the support in a state where a side end surface of the partition is in contact with an outer surface of the support, a hollow portion opened to the side end surface of the partition. A locking body is formed in the hollow portion, and the locking portion at the tip is urged in the locking direction and pivots in the vertical direction. The locking body projects toward the wide surface side of the partition. The operating body is provided, and the locking body is moved by the operating body in a direction in which the locking body is linearly projected and retracted in a direction substantially intersecting with the side end surface of the partition. Is provided with an engaging portion that engages with a locking body protruding from the side end surface of the locking body and holds the locking body in a non-retractable manner, and the operating body releases the engagement of the locking body with the engaging portion.
