Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present invention relates to a partition. More specifically, it relates to a partition formed in a manner supported by a single leg. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the prior art, for example, as seen in Patent Document 1, with "proposing a partition of a mobile bar, which is easily set at a desired position of a bar for reception of guests or the like, and which is capable of changing its position or removing it" as a technical problem, it is known that "one end portion of a top panel partition portion 2 formed in a rectangular plate-like body is fixed to the back of a panel 1 formed in a rectangular plate-like body, and the other end is connected to a partition 3 formed in a rectangular plate-like body" (the abstract portion of the document).

[0003] However, since this structure has one end portion of a top panel partition portion 2 formed in a rectangular plate-like body fixed to the back of a panel 1 formed in a rectangular plate-like body at right angles, there is a difficulty in causing the setting space to become large.

[0004] Further, in the prior art, for example, as seen in Patent Document 2, with "forming a complete product which is easily stored and easily assembled" as a technical problem (the abstract portion of the document), it is also known that "a partition, a screen, a partition furniture which spreads and supports a cloth folded in two on a base plate by the tension of a rod, is provided with a rectangular base plate having a plurality of legs in a crescent shape provided at the lower bottom portion, and two rods of the same size are fixed and supported in a V shape by a fixing member at the center of the upper portion thereof, a piece of cloth folded in two in the size is spread with the fold as the upper portion, the top ends of the rods are hooked to bags provided at two corners of both ends of the cloth, the ropes which become a loop from the four corners of the cloth hanging down are hooked to cut holes provided at the four corners of the base plate, and the cloth is tightened and fixed" (claim 1 of the document).

[0005] However, since this structure is a structure in which a piece of cloth folded in two in the above size is spread with the fold as the upper portion, the top ends of the rods are hooked to bags provided at two corners of both ends of the cloth, and the ropes which become a loop from the four corners of the cloth hanging down are hooked to cut holes provided at the four corners of the base plate, there is a difficulty in causing the setting space to become large.

[0010] [The technical problem that the invention aims to solve]

[0011] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a partition that can reduce the installation space.

[0012] [Technical solutions used to solve technical problems]

[0013] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the partition of the present invention is characterized by having a frame and a sheet, wherein,

[0014] The frame has a support column and an elastic bend extending upward from the support column;

[0015] The sheet is tensioned within the curved portion of the frame.

[0016] The support section is a support section that extends downwards from the other end of the curved section and is capable of being supported by a single leg.

[0017] The lower part of the bend is open, and the diameter of the bend in its free state before the sheet is stretched is larger than the diameter of the bend after the sheet is stretched.

[0018] The lower part of the sheet appears as a straight line when viewed from above.

[0019] Since the partition has the above-described structure, it can be constructed by tensioning a sheet within the curved portion of the frame, and can be erected simply by supporting the frame's support portion, such as by inserting a hole.

[0020] That is, by making the support of the frame a single-leg support, it can function as a partition.

[0021] Therefore, the installation space can be reduced by using this partition.

[0022] In this partition, the curved portion can be configured to be semi-circular.

[0023] In this configuration, by tensioning the sheet inside the semi-circular curved section, the partition area can be expanded despite being supported by a single leg.

[0024] Furthermore, by making the curved portion semi-circular, the sheet material can be well tensioned.

[0025] The partition can also be configured to include a support member having a cylindrical portion that supports the support portion by inserting the support portion therein.

[0026] With this configuration, the partition can be positioned in any location by placing the support component in any position. Attached Figure Description

[0033] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the partition according to the present application will be described with reference to the drawings. In addition, in each drawing, the same reference numerals are assigned to the same parts or equivalent parts.

[0034] As shown in Figure 1 , the partition 1 of this embodiment has a frame 10 and a sheet 20, in which,

[0035] the frame 10 has one pillar portion 11 and a curved portion 12 having elasticity which extends upward from the pillar portion 11;

[0036] the sheet 20 is tensioned and disposed in the curved portion 12 of the frame 10.

[0037] In addition, in Figure 1 , 11a indicates an axis of the frame 10.

[0038] Since the partition 1 has the above structure, it can be configured by tensioning and disposing the sheet 20 in the curved portion 12 of the frame 10, and it can be vertically disposed by supporting only the pillar portion 11 of the frame 10 by, for example, fitting it into a hole 41 (refer to Figure 2 ) of a bar or a dining table 40 of a restaurant or the like.

[0039] That is, by supporting the pillar portion 11 of the frame 10 on a single leg, it can function as a partition.

[0040] Therefore, according to the partition 1, it is possible to reduce the installation space.

[0041] The curved portion 12 has a semicircular arc shape.

[0042] With this configuration, by tensioning the sheet 20 inside the semi-circular curved portion 12, the partition area (area of ​​the sheet 20) can be expanded, even though it is a single-leg support.

[0043] Furthermore, by making the curved portion 12 a semi-circular arc, the sheet 20 can be well tensioned.

[0044] like Figure 1 As shown, the partition 1 in this embodiment also has a support member 30, which has a cylindrical portion 32, which supports the support portion 11 by inserting the support portion 11 therein.

[0045] With this configuration, the support member 30 serves as a base, and by placing it in any position, the partition 1 can be positioned in any location (see reference). Figure 4 ).

[0046] The frame 10 can be integrally formed from known materials with elasticity (flexibility), such as wood (bamboo, etc.), synthetic resin, metal, etc., to form the support section 11 and the bending section 12.

[0047] The sheet 20 can be made primarily of known materials capable of blocking droplets, such as synthetic resin sheets (including films), cloth, paper, etc.

[0048] In addition, sheet 20 can be made of transparent, semi-transparent or opaque material, depending on its intended use.

[0049] For a structure in which the sheet 20 is tensioned within the bend 12 of the frame 10, for example, as Figure 1 As shown, a hole 21 is provided at an appropriate location on the edge of the sheet 20, and the edge of the sheet is connected to the bent portion 12 of the frame 10 by a suitable fastening component 22 such as a strapping strap or rope passing through the hole 21, thereby allowing for tensioning.

[0050] At this time, as Figure 3 As shown, by using a frame in which the diameter D2 of the bent portion 12 before the sheet 20 is tensioned (in its free state) is slightly larger than the diameter D1 of the bent portion 12 after the sheet 20 is tensioned, the sheet 20 can be tightened by utilizing the elasticity (flexibility) of the frame.

[0051] At locations where significant tension exists between the sheet 20 and the frame 10 (e.g., at the two ends of the bent portion 12), such as Figure 1 As shown, it is preferable to use a connecting component 24 that more reliably connects the sheet 20 and the frame 10.

[0052] Figure 1The illustrated coupling member 24 has a flat plate portion 24b and a cylindrical portion 24r integral therewith, and the sheet is attached to the flat plate portion 24b in a clamped state, and the frame is inserted into the cylindrical portion 24r.

[0053] Further, the structure in which the sheet 20 is tensioned within the bent portion 12 of the frame 10 is not limited to Figure 1 the structure, and a publicly known appropriate structure can be employed.

[0054] The support member 30 can be formed of any shape and appropriate material, such as synthetic resin, metal, wood, ceramic, or the like, as long as it is of a size and weight that enables stable support of the legs of the partition 1.

[0055] The above-described embodiment will be described in further detail.

[0056] The partition 1 of the present embodiment is suitable for cases in which infection with a coronavirus or the like is mainly prevented as the main purpose, and is mainly suitable as a partition for preventing infection with droplets.

[0057] The partition 1 of the present embodiment can improve the visibility, affinity, safety, workability, serviceability, convenience, and cost reduction of the product of the partition for preventing droplets.

[0058] The existing partition for face-to-face use using an acrylic thick plate or a glass plate is a structure for use at a window and cannot be detached from the barrier portion, and is premised on a fixed type, and is large in structure and heavy in weight, requires many positions for the mounting base, and is high in price. Therefore, in a restaurant or the like in which a customer seat is provided with a small dining table for face-to-face use in a large number, it is not easy to introduce the partition to the customer seat.

[0059] The partition 1 of the present embodiment can remove the above-described disadvantages, and also has the following effects.

[0060] Since the principle of the bow having a curved inflection is applied, the disadvantages of the resin film or the like in which the deformation of the field of view occurs due to the relaxation in the relaxed state can be compensated for, the tension of the barrier (sheet 20) can be maintained in a high state, and thus the expansion and contraction of the raw material of the barrier due to temperature changes can be coped with, the stretchability is excellent and is not affected by the expansion and contraction of the raw material of the barrier due to temperature changes, the lightness of the resin can be utilized, and the visibility of the field of view to the opposite side is always maintained favorably.

[0061] From the viewpoint of the principle of the bow, the portion corresponding to the bow (bent portion 12) necessarily has a semicircular shape, an arch shape, or a shape in which one side or both ends are fan-shaped, and thus the shape having no corners or protrusions and having rounded corners is visually excellent in affinity and has no sense of incongruity, and when each work such as the provision of food or the like is performed from the opposite side at 90 degrees from the direction of the rounded corners, there is nothing such as corners or protrusions in the line of sight, and it is safe compared to a barrier of a quadrilateral shape (seeFigure 5 ).

[0062] The leg portion and the base portion supporting the barrier portion with the leg are large on both sides or in the center or are provided to most of the lower portion of the barrier in the known structure, but the partition 1 of the present embodiment can make the upper barrier portion (the curved portion 12 and the sheet 20) lightweight, and thus can be formed on only one side (single leg) and can perform each work on the table from the direction in which the base portion is not provided, so that the workability and the serviceability are significantly improved by providing the window and the space S (see FIG. 1) in the entire range of the lower portion of the barrier. Figure 4 , Figure 5

[0063] In addition, as shown in FIG. 2, the partition 1 of the present embodiment can be simply provided as the partition in the state of exceeding the width of the table 40 as the partition on the left and right of the customer seat U on the table 40 in the form of a bar counter or the like. Figure 4

[0064] By making the barrier portion use lightweight resin or the like, the portion (12) corresponding to the bow can also be dealt with by lightweight raw materials, so that the entire weight of the upper portion structure is also lightweight, and the cost can be reduced.

[0065] Since the connection of the leg portion (11) and the base portion (30) can be of the insertion type, it can be instantly detached by pulling out from the base portion (30) without moving the base portion (30) in the case where the barrier portion is not used, and convenience is provided.

[0066] Since the entire weight is also lightweight, it is simple to move.

[0067] As described above, the partition 1 of the present embodiment makes the visibility excellent even if the barrier is of lightweight resin raw materials, improves the affinity and the safety due to the shape with the rounded corners, and in addition, since the leg portion and the base portion are of the structure of only one side, each work can be performed from three directions, so that the workability and the serviceability are also improved, the convenience is also good since detachment is simple, and sanitation management such as disinfection and cleaning can be simply performed, and in addition, the entire raw materials are lightweight, so that the cost can be reduced compared to the existing product, and the position of the installation can not be selected, and the application to a wide range of industries is possible.

[0068] The above describes the embodiment of the present application, but the present application is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and can be appropriately modified within the scope of the gist of the present application.

[0069] For example,

[0070] In the above-described embodiment, the leg portion 11 and the curved portion 12 of the frame 10 are integrally formed, but can be configured to be separate and joined by an appropriate joint member.​​

[0071] In the above embodiment, the curved portion 12 is formed as a semi-circular arc with a central angle of 180 degrees, but it can also be formed as a quarter arc with a central angle of 90 degrees or an arc (fan shape) with any central angle.

[0072] In the above embodiment, the partition 1 and the support member 30 are provided separately, but they can also be constructed as a single unit.

[0073] The support component 30 can be fixed to the dining table, bar counter, etc. 40 by appropriate fixing mechanisms (such as small screws, clampers, etc.).

[0074] For example, such as Figure 6 As shown, the support component 30 can be fixed to a dining table, bar counter, etc. 40 by means of a clamp 36. In addition, the support component 30 shown in the figure is a crank-shaped rod or tube when viewed from the front view.

[0075] The support member 30 may also consist solely of a cylindrical portion 32 that supports the support column 11 by inserting it into the support column 11. In this case, the cylindrical portion 32 is fixed to the dining table, bar counter, etc. 40 by a suitable mechanism.
