Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a booth system and an extension booth. [Background technology]

[0002] In offices, public facilities, and the like, booths are known in which multiple panels are connected in a U-shape in plan view to form a space for individual office work or tasks (see, for example, Patent Document 1). However, when multiple booths such as those disclosed in Patent Document 1 are installed side-by-side, there is a problem that the panels between the booths are doubled, increasing the number of parts and incurring unnecessary costs. For this reason, it is conceivable to combine a U-shaped booth, which is U-shaped in plan view, with an L-shaped booth, which is L-shaped in plan view, into a single panel between the booths. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Patent No. 6868076 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] However, when connecting a U-shaped booth and an L-shaped booth, a special connecting member is required. When using a special connecting member, it is difficult to simplify the configuration or reduce the number of parts, and there is room for improvement in terms of reducing costs.

[0005] SUMMARY OF THE PRESENT EMBODIMENT An object of the present invention is to provide a booth system and an expansion booth that can reduce the number of parts and lower costs. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] (1) A booth system according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises a first booth forming a first work space, a second booth arranged adjacent to the first booth on one side of a first direction that vertically intersects with the first booth and forms a second work space that is open to the other side of the first direction, and a functional member that crosses the second work space in a plan view and connects the first booth and the second booth to each other. According to this aspect, the side of the second booth adjacent to the first booth is open, so the number of parts can be reduced. In addition, the functional member that crosses the second working space in a plan view also serves as a connecting member that connects the first booth and the second booth, so there is no need to provide a dedicated connecting member. This allows the number of parts to be reduced, leading to lower costs.

[0007] (2) In the above aspect (1), the first booth has a partition panel facing one side of the first direction and separating the first work space from the second work space, and the second booth has a front panel arranged on the front side of one side of a second direction intersecting the first direction in the planar view, and a side panel arranged on the side opposite the first booth in the planar view, and the functional member may connect the partition panel to the side panel and / or the partition panel to the front panel. According to this aspect, a single partition panel is sufficient to separate the first booth and the second booth, so there is no need for double panels and the number of parts can be reduced.

[0008] (3) In the above aspect (1) or (2), the functional member may be a top plate having a working surface facing upward. According to this aspect, the table top can provide a work surface for the user to work in the second work space.

[0009] (4) In the above aspect (2), the second booth may further include a connecting panel that is connected to an end of the side panel opposite the front panel when viewed in the plan view, and that extends away from the front panel as it approaches the partition panel in the first direction. According to this aspect, when a user works in the second booth, the connecting panel can block views from behind.

[0010] (5) In the above aspect (4), the functional member may have an inclined edge portion on the edge opposite the front panel in the planar view, the inclined edge portion extending at an angle away from the front panel as it approaches the partition panel in the first direction. According to this aspect, when a user faces directly against the inclined edge of the tabletop, the rear of the user is covered by the connecting panel extending in the same direction in a plan view, thereby more effectively blocking views from behind.

[0011] (6) In any of the above aspects (1) to (5), the first booth may include a first panel and a second panel connected to one end in the direction in which the first panel extends in the planar view and extending in a direction intersecting the direction in which the first panel extends, and the partition panel may be connected to the other end in the direction in which the first panel extends in the planar view. According to this aspect, the first booth is configured such that the second panel and the partition panel extend separately from both ends of the first panel, making it easier to increase strength and rigidity compared to the second booth, which has a side panel extending from one end of the front panel.

[0012] (7) An extension booth according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises an extension booth body arranged adjacent to a structure erected in the vertical direction on one side of a first direction intersecting the vertical direction and forming a work space open to the other side of the first direction, and a functional member that crosses the work space in a planar view and connects the structure and the extension booth body to each other. According to this aspect, the side of the expansion booth body adjacent to the structure is open, so the number of parts can be reduced. In addition, the functional member that crosses the work space in a plan view also serves as a connecting member that connects the structure and the expansion booth bodies, so there is no need to provide a dedicated connecting member. This reduces the number of parts and reduces costs. Effect of the Invention

[0013] According to one aspect of the present invention, the number of parts can be reduced, leading to lower costs. [Brief description of the drawings]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0015] First Embodiment A first embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to Figs. 1 to 14. In the first embodiment, a booth system in which multiple booths are connected will be described. In the following description, expressions indicating relative or absolute arrangement, such as "parallel", "orthogonal", "center", and "coaxial", do not only mean such an arrangement strictly, but also include a state in which there is a relative displacement with a tolerance or an angle or distance to the extent that the same function is obtained. In the drawings used in the following description, the scale of each component may be changed to make each component recognizable.

[0016] <Booth System> FIG. 1 is a top view of a booth system 1 according to the first embodiment. As shown in Fig. 1, the booth system 1 includes a basic booth 2 and an extension booth 3. The booth system 1 is placed on a floor surface F. For example, the booth system 1 is used with the basic booth 2 and the extension booth 3 connected together. For example, the booth system 1 is installed in work spaces or meeting spaces in offices, public facilities, schools, etc. The installation location of the booth system 1 is not limited to the above and can be changed as appropriate.

[0017] In the following description, an XYZ coordinate system is shown as a three-dimensional orthogonal coordinate system in each figure as appropriate. In the XYZ coordinate system, the Z-axis direction is the vertical direction. The vertical direction is the direction perpendicular to the floor surface F on which the booth system 1 is placed (corresponding to the up-down direction). The +Z side is the upper side, and may be simply referred to as the "upper side" below. The -Z side is the lower side, and may be simply referred to as the "lower side" below. The X-axis direction is a direction perpendicular to the Z-axis direction (corresponding to a first direction intersecting the up-down direction), and is the left-right direction of the booth system 1, and may be simply referred to as the "width direction" below. The +X side is the right side of the booth system 1, and may be simply referred to as the "right side" below. The -X side is the left side of the booth system 1, and may be simply referred to as the "left side" below. The -X side corresponds to one side of the first direction, and the +X side corresponds to the other side of the first direction. The Y-axis direction is a direction perpendicular to the X-axis direction and the Z-axis direction, and is the front-rear direction of the booth system 1. The +Y side is the rear side of the booth system 1, and may hereinafter be simply referred to as the "rear side." The -Y side is the front side of the booth system 1, and may hereinafter be simply referred to as the "front side." Note that the terms "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left side," and "right side" are simply names used to explain the relative positional relationships of the various parts, and the actual positional relationships, etc. may be other than those indicated by these names.

[0018] <Basic booth> FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the basic booth 2 of the first embodiment. 1 and 2, a basic booth 2 (an example of a structure) has a first work space 10. The basic booth 2 includes a basic booth main body 11 (an example of a first booth, hereinafter also referred to as "the first booth 11"), a basic booth side top plate 12 (an example of a functional member), and a basic booth side inclined panel 13. The basic booth body 11 has a shape along three sides of a rectangle in a plan view (a U-shape in a plan view). The basic booth body 11 includes a first panel 15, a second panel 16, and a partition panel 17.

[0019] The first panel 15 is a rectangular plate that is long in the vertical direction. The left-right direction when viewed horizontally from a direction perpendicular to the inner surface of the first panel 15 (the surface facing inward of the basic booth body 11) corresponds to the width direction of the first panel 15. The direction perpendicular to the inner surface of the first panel 15 in the horizontal plane is the thickness direction of the first panel 15, which corresponds to the front-rear direction. In the front-rear direction, the first panel 15 side of the basic booth 2 corresponds to the rear side, and the opposite side corresponds to the front side.

[0020] The second panel 16 and the partition panel 17 are connected to both ends of the first panel 15 in the direction in which the first panel 15 extends in a plan view. The second panel 16 is a rectangular plate that is long in the up-down direction. The second panel 16 is connected to the right end of the first panel 15. The second panel 16 extends in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the first panel 15 extends. The second panel 16 extends forward from the right end of the first panel 15.

[0021] The partition panel 17 is a rectangular plate that is long in the vertical direction. The partition panel 17 is connected to the left end of the first panel 15. The partition panel 17 extends in a direction perpendicular to the extension direction of the first panel 15. The partition panel 17 extends forward from the left end of the first panel 15. The second panel 16 and the partition panel 17 extend parallel to each other and perpendicular to the inner surface of the first panel 15 in a plan view. The second panel 16 and the partition panel 17 extend in the front-rear direction while facing each other in the width direction.

[0022] In this embodiment, the first panel 15 and the second panel 16 are each composed of panels having a similar structure (specifically, a pair of a first plate-shaped portion 31 and a second plate-shaped portion 32). On the other hand, the partition panel 17 is composed of a panel having a structure different from that of the first panel 15 and the second panel 16 (specifically, a pair of a third plate-shaped portion 75 and a fourth plate-shaped portion 76).

[0023] Inside the basic booth body 11, a basic booth inner space 10 (an example of a first working space, hereinafter also referred to as "the first working space 10") having an opening facing forward is formed by being surrounded by a first panel 15, a second panel 16, and a partition panel 17. In the example shown in the figure, the panel width dimension of the first panel 15 on the side facing the basic booth inner space 10 is approximately the same as the panel width dimension of the second panel 16 and the partition panel 17 on the side facing the basic booth inner space 10. In the example shown in the figure, the panel width dimension of the second panel 16 on the side facing the basic booth inner space 10 is approximately the same as the panel width dimension of the partition panel 17 on the side facing the basic booth inner space 10. The panel width dimensions of the first panel 15, the second panel 16, and the partition panel 17 may be the same or different. For example, the panel width dimensions of the first panel 15, the second panel 16, and the partition panel 17 can be changed according to the design specifications.

[0024] The basic booth side top plate 12 is disposed within the basic booth body 11. The basic booth side top plate 12 is formed in a flat plate shape having a thickness in the vertical direction. The basic booth side top plate 12 has a work surface 12a facing upward. The upper surface of the basic booth side top plate 12 is used as the work surface 12a. The upper surface of the basic booth side top plate 12 is disposed so as to be aligned along a horizontal plane.

[0025] The basic booth side top plate 12 includes panel side edge portions 12b, 12c, and 12d and front edge portions 12e1 and 12e2. The panel side edge portions 12b, 12c, and 12d include a rear edge portion 12b extending in the width direction along the inner surface of the first panel 15, a right edge portion 12c extending in the front-rear direction along the inner surface of the second panel 16, and a left edge portion 12d extending in the front-rear direction along the inner surface of the partition panel 17. The basic booth side top plate 12 is fixed by brackets, screws, etc., with the panel side edge portions 12b, 12c, and 12d aligned with the first panel 15, the second panel 16, and the partition panel 17. In the illustrated example, the right edge portion 12c of the panel side edge portions 12b, 12c, and 12d is in contact with the inner surface of the opposing panel (see FIG. 9). The panel side edge portions 12b, 12c, and 12d may be in contact with the inner surface of the opposing panel. The panel side edge portions 12b, 12c, and 12d only need to be close to the inner surface of the opposing panel, and do not have to be in contact with the inner surface of the opposing panel.

[0026] The front edge portions 12e1, 12e2 of the basic booth side top plate 12 include a right front edge portion 12e1 disposed on the second panel 16 side and a left front edge portion 12e2 disposed on the partition panel 17 side. The right front edge portion 12e1 extends at an incline rearward so as to gradually approach the first panel 15 from the right end toward the left end. In the example shown in the figure, the right front edge portion 12e1 (excluding the rounded corners) extends linearly from the right end to the left end in a plan view.

[0027] The right end of the right front edge portion 12e1 (excluding the rounded corners) constitutes the right end of the entire front edges 12e1, 12e2. The right end of the right front edge portion 12e1 is connected to the front end of the right edge portion 12c via the rounded corners. The right end of the right front edge portion 12e1 is located rearward of the front end portion of the second panel 16. The left end of the right front edge portion 12e1 is spaced apart from the partition panel 17 in the width direction.

[0028] The left front edge 12e2 extends leftward from the left end of the right front edge 12e1 via a curved portion. In the example shown in the figure, the left front edge 12e2 (excluding the rounded corners) extends linearly along the width direction in a plan view and is perpendicular to the inner surface of the partition panel 17. The left front edge 12e2 (excluding the rounded corners) constitutes the rearmost portion of the front end edges 12e1, 12e2 and is closest to the first panel 15. In the front end edges 12e1, 12e2, the dimension in the direction in which the right front edge 12e1 extends (the direction connecting the right end and the left end) is longer than the dimension in the direction in which the left front edge 12e2 extends (the width direction).

[0029] Although not shown, the basic booth side top plate 12 may be provided with a wiring insertion portion through which various wiring connected to electrical devices used on the work surface 12a is inserted. For example, a lighting device may be provided above the work surface 12a of the basic booth side top plate 12. Note that the basic booth 2 can be provided with various optional components other than the wiring insertion portion and the lighting device.

[0030] For example, in the basic booth internal space 10, a chair may be provided at a position facing the right front edge portion 12e1. For example, the chair may be configured to be rotatable about an axis along the vertical direction. For example, the chair may be installed on a floor surface F, or may be capable of moving on the floor surface F by casters or the like. For example, the chair may be supported by an arm or the like extending from the basic booth body 11. For example, the manner in which the chair is installed may be changed as appropriate.

[0031] The basic booth side inclined panel 13 is connected to the front end of the partition panel 17 (the end of the partition panel 17 opposite to the first panel 15) in a plan view. The basic booth side inclined panel 13 extends so as to move away from the first panel 15 as it moves toward the second panel 16 in the direction in which the first panel 15 extends in a plan view. The basic booth side inclined panel 13 extends at an angle forward as it moves toward the right side from the front end of the partition panel 17 in a plan view.

[0032] The tip end of the basic booth side inclined panel 13 (the end of the basic booth side inclined panel 13 opposite to the front end of the partition panel 17) is disposed with a gap between it and the front end of the second panel 16. Between the tip end of the basic booth side inclined panel 13 and the front end of the second panel 16, an entrance / exit 19 for entering and exiting the basic booth internal space 10 is formed.

[0033] In the illustrated example, the basic booth side inclined panel 13 extends linearly in a plan view. The basic booth side inclined panel 13 extends parallel to the right front edge 12e1 of the basic booth side top plate 12 in a plan view. The dimension in the extension direction of the basic booth side inclined panel 13 is shorter than the dimension in the extension direction of the right front edge 12e1 of the basic booth side top plate 12. The basic booth side inclined panel 13 is not limited to extending linearly in a plan view, and may extend in a curved or stepped manner. For example, the manner in which the basic booth side inclined panel 13 extends can be changed according to the design specifications.

[0034] For example, a user of the basic booth 2 enters and exits the basic booth main body 11 (basic booth inner space 10) through an entrance 19 formed between the tip of the basic booth side inclined panel 13 and the front end of the second panel 16. For example, a user of the basic booth 2 sits on a chair in the basic booth 2 and uses the work surface 12a of the basic booth side top plate 12 while facing the right front edge portion 12e1 of the basic booth side top plate 12. At this time, the user of the basic booth 2 faces the right front edge portion 12e1 of the basic booth side top plate 12, not the first panel 15. Then, the user of the basic booth 2 is prompted to face the right end portion of the first panel 15 (the corner portion between the first panel 15 and the second panel 16) in a plan view.

[0035] When a user of the basic booth 2 is encouraged to face the right end of the first panel 15 in a plan view, the basic booth side inclined panel 13 is disposed behind the user. Therefore, the basic booth side inclined panel 13 blocks the view from behind the user. In addition, since an entrance / exit 19 is formed on the right side of the user, the user is prevented from feeling a sense of claustrophobia. In addition, the user can see people approaching from the right side through the entrance / exit 19. In addition, the user inside the basic booth 2 can be seen through the entrance / exit 19 when viewed from outside the basic booth 2.

[0036] <Extension booth> A second work space 20 is formed in the extension booth 3. The extension booth 3 includes an extension booth main body 21 (an example of a second booth, hereinafter also referred to as the "second booth 21"), an extension booth side top plate 22 (an example of a functional member, hereinafter also referred to as the "functional member 22"), and an extension booth side inclined panel 23 (an example of a connection panel, hereinafter also referred to as the "connection panel 23").

[0037] The extension booth main body 21 is L-shaped in a plan view. The extension booth main body 21 forms a second work space 20 (work space formed by the extension booth main body 21) that is open to the right side (an example of the other side of the first direction intersecting the vertical direction). The extension booth main body 21 is disposed adjacent to the basic booth 2 on its left side (an example of one side of the first direction intersecting the vertical direction). The extension booth main body 21 includes a front panel 25 and a side panel 26.

[0038] The front panel 25 is disposed on the rear surface of the expansion booth main body 21 (corresponding to the front surface in the second direction intersecting with the first direction in a plan view). The front panel 25 is a rectangular plate that is long in the up-down direction. The front panel 25 extends so as to be connected to the first panel 15 in a plan view. The left-right direction when viewed horizontally from a direction perpendicular to the inner surface of the front panel 25 (the surface facing inward of the expansion booth main body 21) corresponds to the width direction of the front panel 25. The direction perpendicular to the inner surface of the front panel 25 in the horizontal plane is the thickness direction of the front panel 25, which corresponds to the front-rear direction. In the front-rear direction, the front panel 25 side of the expansion booth 3 corresponds to the rear side, and the opposite side corresponds to the front side.

[0039] The side panel 26 is disposed on the left side of the extension booth body 21 (corresponding to the side opposite to the basic booth 2 in plan view). The side panel 26 is connected to the end of the front panel 25 in the direction in which it extends in plan view (the end of the front panel 25 opposite to the first panel 15). The side panel 26 is a rectangular plate that is long in the vertical direction. The side panel 26 is connected to the left end of the front panel 25. The side panel 26 extends in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the front panel 25 extends. The side panel 26 extends forward from the left end of the front panel 25. The partition panel 17 and the side panel 26 are perpendicular to the inner surface of the front panel 25 in plan view and extend parallel to each other. The partition panel 17 and the side panel 26 extend in the front-rear direction while facing each other in the width direction.

[0040] In this embodiment, the front panel 25 is composed of a panel having a structure similar to that of the first panel 15 and the second panel 16 (specifically, a pair of a first plate-shaped portion 31 and a second plate-shaped portion 32). On the other hand, the side panel 26 is composed of a panel having a structure different from that of the front panel 25 (specifically, a pair of a third plate-shaped portion 75 and a fourth plate-shaped portion 76). In this embodiment, the side panel 26 is composed of a panel having a structure similar to that of the partition panel 17.

[0041] Inside the extension booth main body 21, an extension booth internal space 20 (an example of a second work space, hereinafter also referred to as "second work space 20") is formed by a front panel 25 and a side panel 26. When the basic booth 2 and the extension booth main body 21 are connected to each other, the extension booth internal space 20 has an opening facing forward, surrounded by the partition panel 17 constituting the basic booth main body 11 and the front panel 25 and side panel 26 constituting the extension booth main body 21. The basic booth internal space 10 and the extension booth internal space 20, which are work spaces, are partitioned by the partition panel 17.

[0042] In the illustrated example, the panel width dimension of the front panel 25 on the side facing the extension booth space 20 is approximately the same as the panel width dimension of the side of the side panel 26 on the side facing the extension booth space 20. In the illustrated example, the panel width dimension of the side of the side panel 26 on the side facing the extension booth space 20 is approximately the same as the panel width dimension of the partition panel 17 on the side facing the extension booth space 20. The panel width dimensions of the front panel 25 and the side panel 26 may be the same or different. For example, the panel width dimensions of the front panel 25 and the side panel 26 can be changed according to the design specifications.

[0043] The extension booth side top plate 22 is disposed within the extension booth main body 21. The extension booth side top plate 22 is formed in a flat plate shape having a thickness in the vertical direction. The extension booth side top plate 22 has a work surface 22a facing upward. The upper surface of the extension booth side top plate 22 is used as the work surface 22a. The upper surface of the extension booth side top plate 22 is disposed so as to be aligned along a horizontal plane.

[0044] The extension booth side top plate 22 includes panel side edge portions 22b, 22c, 22d and front edge portions 22e1, 22e2. The panel side edge portions 22b, 22c, 22d include a rear edge portion 22b extending in the width direction along the inner surface of the front panel 25, a right edge portion 22c extending in the front-rear direction along the inner surface of the partition panel 17 (the outer surface of the partition panel 17 when viewed from the basic booth 2), and a left edge portion 22d extending in the front-rear direction along the inner surface of the side panel 26. The extension booth side top plate 22 is fixed by brackets, screws, etc. with the panel side edge portions 22b, 22c, 22d aligned with the front panel 25, the partition panel 17, and the side panel 26. In the illustrated example, the right edge portion 22c of the panel side edge portions 22b, 22c, 22d is in contact with the inner surface of the opposing panel (see FIG. 9). The panel side edge portions 22b, 22c, and 22d may be in contact with the inner surface of the opposing panel. The panel side edge portions 22b, 22c, and 22d may be in close proximity to the inner surface of the opposing panel, and may not be in contact with the inner surface of the opposing panel.

[0045] The front edge portions 22e1, 22e2 of the extension booth side top plate 22 include a right front edge portion 22e1 arranged on the partition panel 17 side and a left front edge portion 22e2 arranged on the side panel 26 side. The right front edge portion 22e1 extends at an incline backward so as to gradually approach the front panel 25 from the right end toward the left end. In the example shown in the figure, the right front edge portion 22e1 (excluding the rounded corners) extends linearly from the right end to the left end in a plan view.

[0046] The right end of the right front edge portion 22e1 (excluding the rounded corners) constitutes the right end of the entire front edges 22e1, 22e2. The right end of the right front edge portion 22e1 is connected to the front end of the right edge portion 22c via the rounded corners. The right end of the right front edge portion 22e1 is disposed rearward of the front end portion of the partition panel 17. The left end of the right front edge portion 22e1 is spaced apart from the side panel 26 in the width direction.

[0047] The left front edge 22e2 extends leftward from the left end of the right front edge 22e1 via a curved portion. In the example shown in the figure, the left front edge 22e2 (excluding the rounded corners) extends linearly along the width direction in a plan view and is perpendicular to the inner surface of the side panel 26. The left front edge 22e2 (excluding the rounded corners) constitutes the rearmost portion of the front end edges 22e1, 22e2 and is closest to the front panel 25. In the front end edges 22e1, 22e2, the dimension in the direction in which the right front edge 22e1 extends (the direction connecting the right end and the left end) is longer than the dimension in the direction in which the left front edge 22e2 extends (the width direction).

[0048] Although not shown, the extension booth side top plate 22 may be provided with a wiring insertion portion through which various wiring connected to electrical devices used on the work surface 22a is inserted. For example, a lighting device may be provided above the work surface 22a of the extension booth side top plate 22. Note that the extension booth 3 can be provided with various optional components other than the wiring insertion portion and the lighting device.

[0049] For example, in the extension booth inner space 20, a chair may be provided at a position facing the right front edge portion 22e1. For example, the chair may be configured to be rotatable about an axis along the vertical direction. For example, the chair may be installed on the floor surface F, or may be able to run on the floor surface F by casters or the like. For example, the chair may be supported by an arm or the like extending from the extension booth main body 21. For example, the installation manner of the chair can be changed as appropriate.

[0050] The extension booth side inclined panel 23 is connected to the front end of the side panel 26 in plan view (the end of the side panel 26 opposite the front panel 25). The extension booth side inclined panel 23 extends away from the front panel 25 as it moves toward the partition panel 17 in the direction in which the front panel 25 extends in plan view. The extension booth side inclined panel 23 extends at an angle forward as it moves toward the right side from the front end of the side panel 26 in plan view.

[0051] The tip end of the extension booth side inclined panel 23 (the end of the extension booth side inclined panel 23 opposite to the front end of the side panel 26) is disposed with a gap between it and the front end of the partition panel 17. Between the tip end of the extension booth side inclined panel 23 and the front end of the partition panel 17, an entrance / exit 29 for entering and exiting the extension booth internal space 20 is formed.

[0052] In the illustrated example, the extension booth side inclined panel 23 extends linearly in plan view. The extension booth side inclined panel 23 extends parallel to the right front edge 22e1 of the extension booth side top plate 22 in plan view. The dimension in the direction in which the extension booth side inclined panel 23 extends is shorter than the dimension in the direction in which the right front edge 22e1 of the extension booth side top plate 22 extends. The extension booth side inclined panel 23 is not limited to a linear shape in plan view, and may extend in a curved or stepped shape. For example, the manner in which the extension booth side inclined panel 23 extends can be changed according to design specifications.

[0053] For example, a user of the extension booth 3 enters and exits the inside of the extension booth main body 21 (the space inside the extension booth 20) through an entrance 29 formed between the tip of the extension booth side inclined panel 23 and the front end of the partition panel 17. For example, a user of the extension booth 3 sits on a chair in the extension booth 3 and uses the work surface 22a of the extension booth side top plate 22 while facing the right front edge portion 22e1 of the extension booth side top plate 22. At this time, the user of the extension booth 3 does not face the front panel 25 directly, but faces the right front edge portion 22e1 of the extension booth side top plate 22. Then, the user of the extension booth 3 is prompted to face the right end portion of the front panel 25 (the corner portion between the front panel 25 and the partition panel 17) in a plan view.

[0054] When a user of the extension booth 3 is encouraged to face the right end of the front panel 25 in a plan view, the extension booth side inclined panel 23 is disposed behind the user. Therefore, the extension booth side inclined panel 23 blocks the view from behind the user. In addition, since an entrance / exit 29 is formed on the right side of the user, the user is prevented from feeling a sense of obstruction. In addition, the user can see people approaching from the right side through the entrance / exit 29. In addition, the user inside the extension booth 3 can be seen through the entrance / exit 29 when viewed from outside the extension booth 3.

[0055] <Panel body configuration> Fig. 3 is an exploded perspective view of the panel body 30 of the first embodiment. Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the first plate-shaped portion 31 of the first embodiment. Fig. 5 is a perspective view of the second plate-shaped portion 32 of the first embodiment. 3 to 5, the panel body 30 includes a pair of plate-like portions 31, 32, and a sound-absorbing material 33 that is disposed between the pair of plate-like portions 31, 32 and has a sound-absorbing surface 33a.

[0056] A through hole 43 is formed in the first plate-shaped portion 31 (one of the pair of plate-shaped portions 31, 32 that is arranged inside the booth). The through hole 43 is formed in a position facing the sound-absorbing material 33. The panel body 30 has a sound-absorbing portion with sound-absorbing function on the inside of the booth. The panel body 30 has a sound-insulating portion with sound-insulating function on the outside of the booth. The panel body 30 does not have a sound-absorbing portion outside the booth of the sound-insulating portion. Hereinafter, of the pair of plate-shaped portions 31, 32, the one that is arranged inside the booth when viewed from the basic booth 2 is also referred to as the "first plate-shaped portion 31," and the one that is arranged outside the booth when viewed from the basic booth 2 is also referred to as the "second plate-shaped portion 32."

[0057] For example, the first plate-shaped portion 31 is formed of a metal plate such as a steel plate. For example, the first plate-shaped portion 31 may be covered with a skin material or the like. The first plate-shaped portion 31 includes a first main surface portion 40 that forms the entire surface of the panel body 30 that faces the inside of the booth, and a first flange portion 41 that rises from the outer edge of the first main surface portion 40.

[0058] The first main surface portion 40 has a rectangular shape corresponding to the outer shape of the panel body 30. The first main surface portion 40 has a first insertion hole 42 formed at a height position corresponding to the top plate. The first insertion hole 42 is disposed at a position facing the second cross beams 56A, 56B. The first flange portion 41 is formed so as to protrude from the entire outer edge of the first main surface portion 40 toward the second plate-shaped portion 32. The first main surface portion 40 has a through hole 43 formed at a position different from the first insertion hole 42. In the example shown in the figure, the through hole 43 is formed at a position above the first insertion hole 42 in the first main surface portion 40.

[0059] For example, the second plate-shaped portion 32 is formed of a metal plate such as a steel plate. For example, the second plate-shaped portion 32 may be covered with a skin material or the like. The second plate-shaped portion 32 includes a second main surface portion 50 that forms the entire surface of the panel body 30 that faces the outside of the booth, and a second flange portion 51 that rises from the outer edge of the second main surface portion 50.

[0060] The second main surface portion 50 has a rectangular shape corresponding to the outer shape of the panel body 30. The second main surface portion 50 has substantially the same shape as the outer shape of the first main surface portion 40 when viewed in the thickness direction of the panel body 30. The second main surface portion 50 is disposed parallel to the first main surface portion 40. The second flange portion 51 is formed so as to protrude from the entire outer edge of the second main surface portion 50 toward the first plate-shaped portion 31. The second main surface portion 50 does not have a hole (a through hole formed at a position facing the sound-absorbing material 33) equivalent to the through hole 43 of the first main surface portion 40.

[0061] The panel body 30 is disposed between the pair of plate-shaped portions 31, 32 and further includes first vertical rods 45A, 45B and first horizontal beams 46A, 46B joined to the first plate-shaped portion 31. Each of the first vertical rods 45A, 45B and the first horizontal beams 46A, 46B is formed to include a portion having a U-shaped cross section. Each of the first vertical rods 45A, 45B and the first horizontal beams 46A, 46B is joined to the first plate-shaped portion 31 so as to form a closed cross section.

[0062] The first vertical rods 45A, 45B extend in the vertical direction. The first vertical rods 45A, 45B are provided as a pair with a horizontal gap between them. Each of the first vertical rods 45A, 45B extends from the vicinity of the upper corner to the vicinity of the lower corner of the first plate-shaped portion 31 as viewed in the thickness direction of the panel body 30. At least one engagement hole 45h (three in the illustrated example) is formed in each of the first vertical rods 45A, 45B. In the illustrated example, the engagement hole 45h is a hexagonal shape (a shape combining a rectangle and a trapezoid) that is elongated in the vertical direction as viewed in the thickness direction of the panel body 30. The lower edge of the engagement hole 45h extends linearly along the horizontal direction as viewed in the thickness direction of the panel body 30.

[0063] The first cross beams 46A, 46B extend in the horizontal direction. The first cross beams 46A, 46B are provided in pairs with a gap in the vertical direction. The upper first cross beam 46A extends from near one corner of the upper side of the first plate-shaped portion 31 to near the other corner when viewed from the thickness direction of the panel body 30. The lower first cross beam 46B extends from near one corner of the lower side of the first plate-shaped portion 31 to near the other corner when viewed from the thickness direction of the panel body 30. The first cross beams 46A, 46B protrude toward the second plate-shaped portion 32 side more than the first vertical bars 45A, 45B. The first cross beams 46A, 46B are arranged so as to be close to or in contact with the second main surface portion 50 of the second plate-shaped portion 32.

[0064] The panel body 30 is disposed between the pair of plate-shaped portions 31, 32 and further includes second vertical rods 55A, 55B and second horizontal beams 56A, 56B joined to the second plate-shaped portion 32. Each of the second vertical rods 55A, 55B and the second horizontal beams 56A, 56B is formed to include a portion having a U-shaped cross section. Each of the second vertical rods 55A, 55B and the second horizontal beams 56A, 56B is joined to the second plate-shaped portion 32 so as to form a closed cross section.

[0065] The second vertical rods 55A, 55B extend in the vertical direction. The second vertical rods 55A, 55B are provided as a pair with a horizontal gap between them. Each of the second vertical rods 55A, 55B extends from the vicinity of an upper corner of the second plate-shaped portion 32 to the vicinity of a lower corner when viewed from the thickness direction of the panel body 30. The second vertical rods 55A, 55B are arranged so as to entirely overlap the first vertical rods 45A, 45B when viewed from the thickness direction of the panel body 30. The second vertical rods 55A, 55B are arranged so as to be in close proximity to or in contact with the first vertical rods 45A, 45B.

[0066] At least one (three in the illustrated example) engagement claw 57 is formed on each of the second vertical rods 55A and 55B to engage with the engagement hole 45h of each of the first vertical rods 45A and 45B. In the illustrated example, the engagement claw 57 includes a first protruding portion 57a ​​that protrudes from the second vertical rods 55A and 55B toward the first vertical rods 45A and 45B and then extends downward, and a second protruding portion 57b that extends downward from a corner of the first protruding portion 57a ​​(see FIG. 10). For example, the engagement claw 57 is inserted obliquely from above into the engagement hole 45h and engages with the lower edge of the engagement hole 45h from above. At this time, the portion (corner) between the first protruding portion 57a ​​and the second protruding portion 57b of the engagement claw 57 is hooked from above on the lower edge of the engagement hole 45h.

[0067] The second cross beams 56A, 56B extend in the horizontal direction. The second cross beams 56A, 56B are provided in pairs with a gap in the vertical direction. Each of the second cross beams 56A, 56B is disposed between a pair of the first cross beams 46A, 46B when viewed from the thickness direction of the panel body 30. Each of the second cross beams 56A, 56B extends between a pair of the second vertical bars 55A, 55B. The second cross beams 56A, 56B protrude toward the first plate-shaped portion 31 side more than the second vertical bars 55A, 55B. The second cross beams 56A, 56B are disposed so as to be in close proximity to or in contact with the first main surface portion 40 of the first plate-shaped portion 31.

[0068] The second cross beams 56A and 56B are formed with second insertion holes 58. The second insertion holes 58 are arranged at positions overlapping with the first insertion holes 42 formed in the first plate-shaped portion 31 when viewed from the thickness direction of the panel body 30. The second cross beams 56A and 56B are provided with female threads corresponding to the second insertion holes 58. In the example shown in the figure, nuts are provided on the inside of the second cross beams 56A and 56B (see Figs. 13 and 14). It is to be noted that the present invention is not limited to providing nuts, and a female thread may be formed on the inner peripheral surface of the second insertion hole 58. A male thread of a screw inserted into the first insertion hole 42 is screwed into the female thread.

[0069] As described above, the first main surface portion 40 has through holes 43 formed therein. In the illustrated example, the first main surface portion 40 is a punched steel having a plurality of through holes 43 formed therein. In the illustrated example, the entire sound-absorbing material 33 constitutes the sound-absorbing portion. For example, the sound-absorbing material 33 is a porous material such as glass wool, urethane sponge, or polyester fiber. The form of the sound-absorbing material 33 is not limited to the above and can be changed according to the design specifications.

[0070] In the illustrated example, the entire second main surface portion 50 constitutes the sound insulation portion. In the illustrated example, a sheet-like glass wool (one example of the sound absorbing material 33) is attached to the sound insulation surface 50a of the second main surface portion 50 arranged on the inside of the booth. For example, the second main surface portion 50 is a steel plate without a through hole. For example, when a user in the booth faces the inclined edge portion of the top plate (for example, the right front edge portion 12e1 of the basic booth side top plate 12) and uses the work surface of the top plate, the sound generated by the user passes through the through hole 43 of the first plate-shaped portion 31 and is absorbed by the sound absorbing material 33 constituting the sound absorbing portion. Note that the sound insulation surface of the second main surface portion 50 arranged on the outside of the booth (the surface on the side where the glass wool is not attached) also has a sound insulation function.

[0071] <Connecting panels> Fig. 6 is a perspective view showing an example of attaching the second plate-shaped portion 32 of the first embodiment. Fig. 7 is a perspective view showing an example of connecting panels of the first embodiment at upper corners. Fig. 8 is a perspective view showing an example of connecting panels of the first embodiment at lower corners. Fig. 9 is a top view showing a connecting portion of the panels of the first embodiment. Fig. 10 is a perspective view showing an example of engaging the engaging claws 57 of the second plate-shaped portion 32 of the first embodiment. 6 to 10, an example of connecting panels together will be described.

[0072] For example, the panels are connected to each other at the first plate-like portions 31 via L-shaped brackets 60 that are L-shaped in plan view. In the following explanation, an example will be given in which the first plate-like portions 31 of the first panel 15 and the second panel 16 adjacent to each other in the basic booth 2 are connected to each other via the L-shaped brackets 60. The connection manner of the first panel 15 and the partition panel 17 adjacent to each other in the basic booth 2, and the front panel 25 and the side panel 26 constituting the extension booth 3 (specifically, the plate-like portions on the inside of the booth are connected to each other with L-shaped metal fittings, and the engagement claws of the plate-like portions on the outside of the booth are inserted into the engagement holes of the plate-like portions on the inside of the booth) is similar to the connection manner of the first panel 15 and the second panel 16, and therefore a description thereof will be omitted.

[0073] In the illustrated example, the first plate-like portions 31 of the first panel 15 and the second panel 16 are connected to each other at two locations, an upper corner and a lower corner, via an L-shaped bracket 60. The L-shaped bracket 60 includes a first straight portion 61 extending linearly so as to overlap with the outer end portions of the first cross beams 46A, 46B of the first panel 15 in a plan view, a second straight portion 62 extending linearly so as to overlap with the outer end portions of the first cross beams 46A, 46B of the second panel 16 in a plan view, and an L-shaped portion 63 that is L-shaped in a plan view and connects the first straight portion 61 and the second straight portion 62.

[0074] At least one bolt hole 64 (two in the illustrated example) is formed in each of the first straight portion 61 and the second straight portion 62. The bolt hole 64 is arranged at a position overlapping with an outer hole 46h formed in the outer end portion of the first cross beams 46A, 46B in a plan view. The outer end portion of the first cross beams 46A, 46B is provided with a female thread (not shown) corresponding to each outer hole 46h. For example, a nut may be provided on the inside of the outer end portion of the first cross beams 46A, 46B. For example, a female thread may be formed on the inner peripheral surface of the outer hole 46h in the outer end portion of the first cross beams 46A, 46B. The male thread of the bolt 65 inserted into the outer hole 46h is screwed into the female thread.

[0075] For example, first, the first plate-shaped portions 31 of the first panel 15 and the second panel 16 are arranged in an L-shape in a plan view. Next, an L-shaped bracket 60 is arranged at each of the upper corners and lower corners of the first plate-shaped portions 31 of the first panel 15 and the second panel 16 such that the first straight portion 61 overlaps with the outer end portions of the first cross beams 46A, 46B of the first panel 15 in a plan view, and the second straight portion 62 overlaps with the outer end portions of the first cross beams 46A, 46B of the second panel 16 in a plan view. Next, a bolt 65 is inserted through the bolt hole 64 of each L-shaped bracket 60, and then screwed into a female thread (not shown) formed in the outer end portion of each of the first cross beams 46A, 46B.

[0076] For example, at the upper corners of the first plate-shaped portions 31 of the first panel 15 and the second panel 16, the bolts 65 are inserted from below into the bolt holes 64 of the L-shaped brackets 60, and then screwed into the female threads (not shown) formed in the outer end portions of the first cross beams 46A (see FIG. 7). For example, at the lower corners of the first plate-shaped portions 31 of the first panel 15 and the second panel 16, the bolts 65 are inserted from above into the bolt holes 64 of the L-shaped brackets 60, and then screwed into the female threads (not shown) formed in the outer end portions of the first cross beams 46B (see FIG. 8). In this way, the first plate-shaped portions 31 of the first panel 15 and the second panel 16 can be fixed to each other by the L-shaped brackets 60 and the bolts 65. In addition, the fixing manner of each of the first plate-shaped portions 31 of the first panel 15 and the second panel 16 (for example, the location and number of the L-shaped brackets 60, and the location and number of the outer holes 46h) is not limited to the above and can be changed according to the design specifications.

[0077] As described above, the second vertical rods 55A, 55B of the second plate-shaped portion 32 are formed with the engagement claws 57 that engage with the engagement holes 45h of the first vertical rods 45A, 45B of the first plate-shaped portion 31. In the illustrated example, the engagement claws 57 include a first protruding portion 57a ​​that protrudes from the second vertical rods 55A, 55B toward the first vertical rods 45A, 45B and then extends downward, and a second protruding portion 57b that extends downward from a corner of the first protruding portion 57a ​​(see FIG. 10). For example, after the first plate-shaped portions 31 of the first panel 15 and the second panel 16 are fixed at the above-mentioned corners, the engagement claws 57 of the second plate-shaped portion 32 are inserted obliquely from above into the engagement holes 45h of the first plate-shaped portion 31 and engaged with the lower edge of the engagement holes 45h from above. At this time, the portion (corner) between the first protruding portion 57a ​​and the second protruding portion 57b of the engagement claw 57 is caught from above by the lower edge portion of the engagement hole 45h. In this manner, the second plate-shaped portion 32 can be attached to the first plate-shaped portion 31 (see FIG. 6).

[0078] <Connection between basic booth and expansion booth bodies> Fig. 11 is a perspective view showing an example of connecting the top plates of the first embodiment. Fig. 12 is a perspective view of the top plate bracket 70 of the first embodiment. Fig. 13 is a front view showing the connecting portion between the basic booth 2 and the extension booth main body 21 of the first embodiment. Fig. 14 is a front view showing the connecting portion between the top plate bracket 70 and the partition panels 17 of the first embodiment. 11 to 14, an example of connecting the basic booth 2 and the extension booth main body 21 to each other will be described.

[0079] Also referring to FIG. 1, the basic booth 2 and the extension booth main body 21 are not connected to each other via panels, but are connected via a top plate, which is a functional member. The functional member supports the work of the person using the booth interior space. The extension booth side top plate 22 crosses the extension booth interior space 20 in a plan view, and connects the basic booth 2 and the extension booth main body 21 to each other. In this embodiment, the extension booth side top plate 22 connects the partition panel 17 constituting the basic booth 2 to the front panel 25 and side panel 26 constituting the extension booth main body 21.

[0080] In a plan view, the portion of the extension booth side top plate 22 connected to the partition panel 17 is longer from the front panel 25 than the portion of the extension booth side top plate 22 on the side of the side panel 26. In the illustrated example, the extension booth side top plate 22 is connected to the partition panel 17, the front panel 25, and the side panel 26 via a top plate bracket 70 in which screw holes 71h and 72h are formed. In the illustrated example, the portion of the extension booth side top plate 22 connected to the partition panel 17 is connected to the partition panel 17 via a pair of front and rear top plate brackets 70. In the illustrated example, the portion of the extension booth side top plate 22 connected to the front panel 25 is connected to the front panel 25 via a pair of left and right top plate brackets 70. In the illustrated example, the portion of the extension booth side top plate 22 on the side of the side panel 26 is connected to the side panel 26 via one top plate bracket 70.

[0081] For example, the top plate bracket 70 is fixed to each of the extension booth side top plate 22, the partition panel 17, the front panel 25, and the side panel 26 with fastening metal fittings such as screws. In the example shown in the figure, two top plate fixing screw holes 72h and two panel fixing screw holes 71h (four in total) are formed in each top plate bracket 70. In the example shown in the figure, the top plate bracket 70 is formed in an L shape when viewed from the longitudinal direction (front-rear direction in FIG. 13).

[0082] The top plate bracket 70 includes a first extension portion 71 extending in a direction along the inner surface of the panel in a plan view (front-rear direction in FIG. 11), and a second extension portion 72 extending inward (widthwise inner side in FIG. 11) from both ends (front end and rear end in FIG. 11) of the first extension portion 71 so as to follow the lower surface of the extension booth side top plate 22. One top plate fixing screw hole 72h is formed in each second extension portion 72 (two in total per top plate bracket 70). One panel fixing screw hole 71h is formed on each end side of the first extension portion 71 (two in total per top plate bracket 70). In FIG. 11, the top plate bracket 70 and the like of the portion of the extension booth side top plate 22 that is connected to the front panel 25 are omitted.

[0083] For example, the top plate bracket 70 can be fixed to the extension booth side top plate 22 by inserting a screw from below into the top plate fixing screw hole 72h of each second extension portion 72 and then screwing it into a female thread (not shown) formed on the lower surface side portion of the extension booth side top plate 22. For example, the top plate bracket 70 can be fixed to each of the partition panel 17 and the side panel 26 by inserting a screw 48 from the inside in the width direction into each panel fixing screw hole 71h of the first extension portion 71 and then screwing it into a female thread (not shown) formed on the inner surface side portion of each of the partition panel 17 and the side panel 26 (see FIG. 11). For example, after the screw 48 is fixed, a cap 49 for hiding the head of the screw 48 may be attached.

[0084] In this way, the partition panel 17 constituting the basic booth 2 and the side panel 26 constituting the extension booth main body 21 can be fixed together using the extension booth side top panel 22, the top panel bracket 70, and the screws 48. Note that the manner in which the partition panel 17 and the side panel 26 are fixed together (for example, the location and number of the top panel bracket 70, and the locations and number of the screw holes 71h, 72h) is not limited to the above and can be changed according to the design specifications.

[0085] Similarly, the partition panel 17 constituting the basic booth 2 and the front panel 25 constituting the extension booth main body 21 can be fixed together using the extension booth side top plate 22, top plate bracket 70, and screws (not shown) (see FIG. 9). This allows the partition panel 17 constituting the basic booth 2 to be fixed together with the front panel 25 and side panel 26 constituting the extension booth main body 21.

[0086] In this embodiment, the front panel 25 has a pair of first plate-shaped portions 31 and second plate-shaped portions 32, similar to each of the first panel 15 and the second panel 16. Meanwhile, the side panel 26 has a pair of third plate-shaped portions 75 and fourth plate-shaped portions 76 that have a structure different from that of the front panel 25. In this embodiment, the side panel 26 has a pair of third plate-shaped portions 75 and fourth plate-shaped portions 76, similar to the partition panel 17.

[0087] Hereinafter, of the pair of third plate-shaped portion 75 and fourth plate-shaped portion 76, the one positioned inside the booth when viewed from the basic booth 2 will be referred to as the "third plate-shaped portion 75", and the one positioned outside the booth when viewed from the basic booth 2 will be referred to as the "fourth plate-shaped portion 76".

[0088] In the illustrated example, the partition panel 17 is disposed between a pair of plate-shaped portions 75, 76, and further includes a third cross beam 77 joined to the third plate-shaped portion 75 and a fourth cross beam 78 joined to the fourth plate-shaped portion 76. Each of the third cross beam 77 and the fourth cross beam 78 is formed to include a portion having a U-shaped cross section. Each of the third cross beam 77 and the fourth cross beam 78 is joined to each of the plate-shaped portions 75, 76 so as to form a C-shaped cross section. The third cross beam 77 and the fourth cross beam 78 are disposed so as to be close to or in contact with each other. The partition panel 17 differs from each of the first panel 15 and the second panel 16 in that it includes the third cross beam 77 and the fourth cross beam 78.

[0089] A third through hole 75h is formed in each of the main surface portion 75A (hereinafter also referred to as the "third main surface portion 75A") of the third plate-shaped portion 75 and the third cross beam 77 at a height position corresponding to the top plate. A fourth through hole 76h is formed in each of the main surface portion 76A (hereinafter also referred to as the "fourth main surface portion 76A") of the fourth plate-shaped portion 76 and the fourth cross beam 78 at a height position corresponding to the top plate. Although not shown, a through hole for sound absorption is formed in the fourth main surface portion 76A, and the entire third main surface portion 75A constitutes a sound insulation portion. For example, glass wool is attached to the left side surface of the third main surface portion 75A (for example, a portion facing the through hole formed in the fourth main surface portion 76A).

[0090] Each of the third cross beam 77 and the fourth cross beam 78 has a female screw corresponding to each of the insertion holes 75h and 76h. In the illustrated example, nuts 77i and 78i are provided on the inside of each of the third cross beam 77 and the fourth cross beam 78 (see Figs. 13 and 14). For example, the screw 48 is inserted from the inside in the width direction into each of the panel fixing screw holes 71h of the top plate bracket 70, and then screwed into the female screw (nut 78i provided on the inside of the fourth cross beam 78 in the illustrated example) formed on the inner surface side of each of the partition panel 17 and the side panel 26. This allows the top plate bracket 70 to be fixed to the partition panel 17 via the fourth cross beam 78 functioning as a reinforcing member.

[0091] In the illustrated example, second insertion holes 58 are formed in the second cross beams 56A, 56B (see FIG. 5). The second insertion holes 58 are disposed at positions overlapping with the first insertion holes 42 formed in the first plate-shaped portion 31 when viewed in the thickness direction of the panel body 30. The second cross beams 56A, 56B are provided with female threads corresponding to the second insertion holes 58.

[0092] For example, nuts (not shown) are provided on the inside of the second cross beams 56A, 56B. For example, the screws 48 are inserted from the front into the respective panel fixing screw holes 71h of the top plate bracket 70, and then screwed into the female threads (in the illustrated example, the nuts provided on the inside of the second cross beams 56A, 56B) formed on the inner surface side portion of the front panel 25. This allows the top plate bracket 70 to be fixed to the front panel 25 via the second cross beams 56A, 56B that function as reinforcing members.

[0093] <Action and effect> As described above, the booth system 1 of the above embodiment comprises a first booth 11 that forms a first work space 10, a second booth 21 that is arranged adjacent to the first booth 11 on one side of a first direction that intersects vertically with the first booth 11 and forms a second work space 20 that is open to the other side of the first direction, and a functional member 22 that crosses the second work space 20 in a plan view and connects the first booth 11 and the second booth 21 to each other. According to this configuration, the side of the second booth 21 adjacent to the first booth 11 is open, making it possible to reduce the number of parts. In addition, the functional member 22 that crosses the second working space 20 in a plan view also serves as a connecting member that connects the first booth 11 and the second booth 21 to each other, making it unnecessary to provide a dedicated connecting member. This makes it possible to reduce the number of parts and achieve cost reduction.

[0094] In the above embodiment, the first booth 11 faces one side in the first direction and includes a partition panel 17 that separates the first work space 10 and the second work space 20. The second booth 21 includes a front panel 25 that is arranged on the front side on one side in the second direction intersecting with the first direction in a plan view, and a side panel 26 that is arranged on the side opposite the first booth 11 in a plan view. The partition panel 17 and the side panel 26, and the partition panel 17 and the front panel 25 are connected by a functional member 22. According to this configuration, a single partition panel 17 is sufficient to separate the first booth 11 and the second booth 21, so there is no need for double panels, and the number of parts can be reduced.

[0095] In the above embodiment, the functional member 22 is a top plate 22 having a work surface 22a facing upward. According to this configuration, the top panel 22 can provide a work surface 22a for a user to work in the second work space 20.

[0096] In the above embodiment, the second booth 21 further includes a connecting panel 23 that is connected to the end of the side panel 26 opposite the front panel 25 in a plan view and extends away from the front panel 25 as it moves toward the partition panel 17 in the first direction. According to this configuration, when a user works in the second booth 21, the connecting panel 23 can block the view from behind.

[0097] In the above embodiment, the functional member 22 has an inclined edge 22e1 on the edge opposite the front panel 25 in a plan view, which inclines and extends away from the front panel 22 toward the partition panel 17 in the first direction. According to this configuration, when a user faces directly against the inclined edge portion 22e1 of the tabletop, the rear of the user is covered by the connecting panel 23 extending in the same direction in a plan view, thereby more effectively blocking views from behind.

[0098] In the above embodiment, the first booth 11 includes the first panel 15 and the second panel 16 connected to one end of the first panel 15 in the extending direction in a plan view and extending in a direction intersecting the extending direction of the first panel 15. The partition panel 17 is connected to the other end of the first panel 15 in the extending direction in a plan view. According to this configuration, the first booth 11 has the second panel 16 and the partition panel 17 extending separately from both ends of the first panel 15, so that it is easier to increase the strength and rigidity compared to the second booth 21, which has a configuration in which the side panel 26 extends from one end of the front panel 25.

[0099] The extension booth 3 in the above embodiment is arranged adjacent to one side of a first direction that intersects the vertical direction with a structure 2 that stands upright in the vertical direction, and comprises an extension booth main body 21 that forms a work space 20 that is open to the other side of the first direction, and a functional member 22 that crosses the work space 20 in a planar view and connects the structure 2 and the extension booth main body 21 to each other. According to this configuration, the side of the extension booth main body 21 adjacent to the structure 2 is in an open state, so the number of parts can be reduced. In addition, the functional member 22 that crosses the work space 20 in a plan view also serves as a connecting member that connects the structure 2 and the extension booth main body 21 to each other, so there is no need to provide a dedicated connecting member. Therefore, the number of parts can be reduced, and costs can be reduced.

[0100] <Second embodiment> FIG. 15 is a top view of the booth system 201 according to the second embodiment. A second embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to Fig. 15. In the above-mentioned first embodiment, a configuration in which one extension booth main body 21 is connected to a basic booth 2 (see Fig. 1, etc.) has been described as an example of a booth system 1. In contrast, the second embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that two extension booth main bodies 221A, 221B are connected to the basic booth 2, as shown in Fig. 15. In the second embodiment, detailed description of components similar to those in the first embodiment will be omitted.

[0101] The booth system 201 includes a basic booth 2, a first extension booth 203A, and a second extension booth 203B. Each of the first extension booth 203A and the second extension booth 203B has a similar configuration to the extension booth 3 of the first embodiment, so detailed description will be omitted. The extension booth body 221A of the first extension booth 203A (hereinafter also referred to as the "first extension booth body 221A") is disposed adjacent to the left side (one example of one side in the first direction intersecting the vertical direction) of the basic booth 2. The extension booth body 221B of the second extension booth 203B (hereinafter also referred to as the "second extension booth body 221B") is disposed adjacent to the left side of the first extension booth 203A.

[0102] The basic booth 2 and the first extension booth main body 221A are not connected by panels, but are connected via a functional member, a top plate 222A. The extension booth side top plate 222A of the first extension booth 203A (hereinafter also referred to as the "first extension booth side top plate 222A") crosses the extension booth inner space 220A of the first extension booth 203A (hereinafter also referred to as the "first extension booth inner space 220A") in a plan view, and connects the basic booth 2 and the first extension booth main body 221A to each other.

[0103] The first extension booth 203A and the extension booth main body 221B of the second extension booth 203B (hereinafter also referred to as the "second extension booth main body 221B") are not connected by panels, but are connected via a top plate 222B which is a functional member. The extension booth side top plate 222B of the second extension booth 203B (hereinafter also referred to as the "second extension booth side top plate 222B") crosses the extension booth inner space 220B of the second extension booth 203B (hereinafter also referred to as the "second extension booth inner space 220B") in a plan view, and connects the first extension booth 203A and the second extension booth main body 221B to each other.

[0104] <Action and effect> As described above, the booth system 201 of the second embodiment comprises the basic booth 2, the first extension booth 203A arranged adjacent to the basic booth 2 on the left side, the second extension booth 203B arranged adjacent to the first extension booth 203A on the left side, a first extension booth side top plate 222A that crosses the first extension booth internal space 220A in a planar view and connects the basic booth 2 and the first extension booth main body 221A to each other, and a second extension booth side top plate 222B that crosses the second extension booth internal space 220B in a planar view and connects the first extension booth 203A and the second extension booth main body 221B to each other. According to this configuration, the side of the first extension booth 203A adjacent to the basic booth 2 is open, and the side of the second extension booth 203B adjacent to the first extension booth 203A is open, so that the number of parts can be reduced. In addition, the first extension booth side top plate 222A crossing the first extension booth inner space 220A in a plan view also serves as a connecting member connecting the basic booth 2 and the first extension booth main body 221A, and the second extension booth side top plate 222B crossing the second extension booth inner space 220B in a plan view also serves as a connecting member connecting the first extension booth 203A and the second extension booth main body 221B, so that there is no need to provide a dedicated connecting member. Therefore, the number of parts can be reduced, and costs can be reduced.

[0105] <Modification> In the above embodiment, the first booth is described as having a first panel, and a second panel and a partition panel that are connected to both ends of the first panel in the direction in which the first panel extends in a plan view and extend in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the first panel extends, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the first booth may have a first panel and a partition panel that is connected to only one end of the first panel in the direction in which the first panel extends in a plan view. For example, the first booth may not have side panels at both ends of the first panel. For example, the first booth may have a second panel and a partition panel that extend in a direction that obliquely intersects with the direction in which the first panel extends. For example, the configuration of the first booth can be changed according to the design specifications.

[0106] In the above embodiment, the second booth is described as having a front panel extending so as to be connected to the first panel in a plan view, and a side panel connected to an end of the front panel opposite to the first panel in a plan view and extending in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the front panel extends, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the second booth may have a front panel and a side panel connected separately to both ends in the direction in which the front panel extends in a plan view. For example, the second booth may have side panels at both ends of the front panel. For example, the second booth may have side panels extending in a direction diagonally intersecting the direction in which the front panel extends. For example, when the second booth has side panels at both ends in the direction in which the front panel extends in a plan view, the length of the side panel arranged on the side of the first booth side in a plan view may be shorter than the length of the side panel arranged on the side opposite to the first booth in a plan view, so that the second booth is open to the first booth side. For example, the configuration of the second booth may be changed according to the design specifications.

[0107] In the above embodiment, the first work space and the second work space are separated by a partition panel, and the partition panel is connected to the front panel and the side panel by a functional member. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the first work space and the second work space may be separated by a partition panel, and the partition panel may be connected only to the front panel by a functional member, or only to the side panel by a functional member. For example, the first work space and the second work space may be separated by a partition panel, and the partition panel may be connected to the side panel and / or the partition panel to the front panel by a functional member. For example, the manner of connection by the functional member can be changed according to the design specifications.

[0108] In the above embodiment, the functional member is described as a top plate having a work surface facing upward, but is not limited thereto. For example, the functional member may be a shielding plate that covers the second work space from above. For example, the functional member is not limited to the above, and may be a sofa, a roof panel, or the like. For example, the functional member may be a member having a load surface that receives the load of a person or object, or a member that covers the second work space from above. For example, the functional member may be anything that supports the work of a person who uses the space inside the booth. For example, the form of the functional member may be changed according to the design specifications.

[0109] FIG. 16 is a perspective view showing a modified example of the functional member. For example, as shown in Fig. 16, two booths 302, 303 may be connected by a roof panel 80. In Fig. 16, a part of the booth 302 having a partition member 17 is indicated by a two-dot chain line, and detailed description of components similar to those in the above-described embodiment will be omitted.

[0110] In the above embodiment, an example has been described in which the first booth further includes a sixth panel that is connected to an end of the partition panel opposite to the first panel in a plan view and extends away from the first panel as it moves toward the second panel in the direction in which the first panel extends, but this is not limited to this. For example, the first booth does not need to further include the sixth panel. For example, the first booth may only include the first panel and a side panel that is connected to an end in the direction in which the first panel extends in a plan view. For example, the installation mode of the sixth panel can be changed according to the design specifications.

[0111] In the above embodiment, the second booth is further provided with a connecting panel that is connected to an end of the side panel opposite to the front panel in a plan view and extends away from the front panel toward the partition panel in the first direction, but this is not limited to the above. For example, the second booth does not need to further include a connecting panel. For example, the second booth may include a front panel and a side panel disposed on the side opposite to the first booth in a plan view. For example, the installation mode of the connecting panel can be changed according to the design specifications.

[0112] In the above embodiment, an example has been described in which the portion of the functional member connected to the partition panel is longer from the front panel than the portion of the functional member on the side panel side in a plan view, but this is not limited to the above. For example, the portion of the functional member connected to the partition panel may be shorter or the same in length from the front panel as the portion of the functional member on the side panel side in a plan view. For example, the length from the front panel of the portion of the functional member connected to the partition panel in a plan view can be changed according to the design specifications.

[0113] In the above embodiment, the partition panel is described as being composed of panels (specifically, a pair of third and fourth plate-shaped parts) having a structure different from that of the first and second panels, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the first, second and partition panels may be composed of panels having similar structures. For example, the panel may include a rectangular panel body, a frame member arranged along the four sides of the panel body, and a leg portion provided on the frame member at the lower side and grounded on the floor surface F. The material and structure of the panel are not particularly limited, and a configuration other than those described above may be appropriately adopted. For example, the first, second and partition panels may be integrally formed.

[0114] In the above embodiment, the side panel is configured from a panel having a different structure from the front panel (specifically, a pair of third and fourth plate-shaped parts), but this is not limited thereto. For example, the front panel and the side panel may be configured from panels having similar structures. For example, the panel may include a rectangular panel body, a frame member arranged along the four sides of the panel body, and a leg portion provided on the frame member at the lower side and grounded on the floor surface F. The material and structure of the panel are not particularly limited, and a configuration other than those described above can be appropriately adopted. For example, the front panel and the side panel may be formed integrally.

[0115] In the above embodiment, an example has been described in which the structure erected in the vertical direction is a booth (basic booth), but this is not limited thereto. For example, the structure may be a wall, or a part of a portion forming a private room such as a conference room. For example, the extension booth is not limited to a basic booth, and may be connected to any structure. For example, the form of the structure may be changed according to the design specifications.

[0116] Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to these, and additions, omissions, substitutions, and other modifications of the configuration are possible without departing from the spirit of the present invention, and the above-mentioned modified examples can also be combined as appropriate.
