Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a booth. [Background technology]

[0002] There is known a booth that has side walls and a floor, forming a space separated from the surroundings (see, for example, Patent Document 1). Such a booth may be provided with an adjuster to accommodate unevenness of the installation surface, such as the floor, on which the booth is installed. By adjusting the adjuster, the booth can be installed stably on the installation surface. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Patent Publication No. 2021-1540 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] The floor of the booth is set at a height that corresponds to the adjustment of the adjuster. Therefore, if the adjuster is adjusted to accommodate an uneven installation surface, the floor cannot be set at the desired height. For example, it is difficult to set the floor as low as possible to allow wheelchair access to the booth.

[0005] SUMMARY OF THE PRESENT EMBODIMENT An object of the present invention is to provide a booth that can accommodate unevenness in the installation surface and has a floor that can be set at a desired height. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned objective, the booth of the present invention has a side wall portion to be installed on an installation surface and a floor portion connected to the side wall portion, and the side wall portion has a side wall portion main body and an adjuster attached to the lower end of the side wall portion main body for adjusting the distance between the side wall portion main body and the installation surface, and further has a floor portion height adjustment portion that connects the floor portion to the side wall portion main body so that the height position can be adjusted.

[0007] In the present invention, the unevenness of the installation surface can be accommodated by adjusting the adjuster. By having a floor height adjustment part and being able to connect the floor to the side wall main body so that the position in the height direction can be adjusted, the floor can be set at a desired height, independent of the adjustment by the adjuster.

[0008] In the booth according to the present invention, the floor height adjustment portion may be capable of connecting the floor portion to the side wall main body at a height position where a lower end of the floor portion comes into contact with the installation surface.

[0009] With this configuration, the floor can be placed on the installation surface, and can be installed at a low position. Since the strength required for the floor is smaller than when the floor is floating above the installation surface, the floor can be made thin, the floor surface (upper surface of the floor) can be installed at a low position, and the floor can be constructed simply and inexpensively. Since the floor is supported by the installation surface, the booth can be installed in a more stable state. In addition, there is no need for the side wall to support the floor, and in that case the strength required for the side wall is smaller, so the side wall can be constructed simply and inexpensively.

[0010] In the booth according to the present invention, the side wall portion may be provided around the periphery of the floor portion.

[0011] With this configuration, when assembling the booth, the side wall portion can be installed in a position corresponding to the periphery of the floor portion on the installation surface, and then the floor portion can be installed by inserting it inside the side wall portion.

[0012] In the booth of the present invention, the side wall main body may have a reinforcing member provided at its lower end to which the adjuster is attached, and the floor height adjustment portion may connect the floor to the reinforcing member so that the height position can be adjusted.

[0013] With this configuration, the adjuster is stably connected to the side wall main body, and the floor is stably connected to the side wall main body, so that the booth can be stably installed on the installation surface.

[0014] In the booth of the present invention, the floor portion has a floor portion main body and a connecting plate portion extending upward from the outer edge portion of the floor portion main body, and the floor height adjustment portion connects the connecting plate portion to the side wall portion main body so that the height position can be adjusted, and the connecting plate portion may be in face contact with the side wall portion main body.

[0015] With this configuration, the gap between the connecting plate and the side wall main body, i.e., the gap between the floor and the side wall, can be eliminated or reduced, thereby preventing sound from being transmitted into the booth through the gap between the floor and the side wall, and improving the soundproofing performance of the booth.

[0016] In the booth of the present invention, the side wall main body has a reinforcing member provided at its lower end and to which the adjuster is attached, and the floor height adjustment portion connects the connecting plate portion to the reinforcing member so that the height position can be adjusted, and the upper end of the connecting plate portion may be positioned higher than the upper end of the reinforcing member.

[0017] With this configuration, the reinforcing member is covered by the connecting plate portion, preventing the reinforcing member from being exposed, thereby improving the design.

[0018] In the booth according to the present invention, a thickness dimension of a portion of the side wall portion above the reinforcing member may be smaller than a thickness dimension of a portion of the side wall portion where the reinforcing member is provided.

[0019] With this configuration, even if the cross-sectional shape required for the reinforcing member is large, the portion of the side wall above the reinforcing member can be made thinner, i.e., smaller, than the portion where the reinforcing member is provided, thereby making it possible to increase the space inside the booth.

[0020] In the booth of the present invention, the adjuster has a protrusion that protrudes further toward the floor than the side wall main body, and a hollow space in which the protrusion is disposed may be formed between at least the end of the floor on the side wall side and the installation surface.

[0021] With this configuration, if the protruding portion of the adjuster is the part that comes into contact with the installation surface, the installation area of ​​the adjuster can be increased, and the booth can be installed in a stable state. Even if the adjuster has a protruding portion, the adjuster can be installed closer to the floor by arranging the protruding portion in the space between the floor and the installation surface. In other words, since the adjuster can be arranged inside the booth rather than on the outer surface of the side wall, the exposure of the adjuster can be reduced, and the adjuster can be made less visible from outside the booth. Effect of the Invention

[0022] According to the present invention, it is possible to accommodate unevenness in the installation surface and to install the floor portion at a desired height. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0024] Hereinafter, a booth according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 7. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the booth 1 according to this embodiment is installed on an installation surface 11 such as a floor surface, and forms a space partitioned from the surroundings. The inside of the booth 1 is referred to as an indoor space 13, and the outside of the booth 1 is referred to as an outdoor space 14. The booth 1 has a floor section 2, a side wall section 3, a sliding door 4, and a ceiling section 5 (see FIG. 1). The side wall section 3 is provided along the outer periphery of the booth 1 and installed on the installation surface 11. In the description of the side wall section 3, the horizontal direction along the outer periphery of the booth 1 is referred to as the width direction, and the direction perpendicular to the width direction and connecting the indoor 13 side and the outdoor 14 side is referred to as the thickness direction. The floor section 2 is installed along the installation surface 11, and is connected to the side wall section 3 so that its position in the height direction can be adjusted. The sliding door 4 is provided at an opening 12 through which a user enters and exits the booth 1. The sliding door 4 slides horizontally along the outer periphery of the booth 1 to open and close the opening 12. The sliding door 4 is provided at a position where it does not interfere with the side wall portion 3.

[0025] The booth 1 has a rectangular shape in plan view. The side wall 3 is provided along the outer peripheral surface of the booth 1, which corresponds to one long side of the rectangular shape in plan view, and along the two short sides of the rectangular shape in plan view. That is, the three side wall parts 3 are provided in the booth 1 so as to form a C-shape in plan view. The sliding door 4 is provided along the outer peripheral surface of the booth 1, which corresponds to one long side of the rectangular shape in plan view, and on which the side wall parts 3 are not provided. This surface is provided with an opening 12 for a user to enter and exit the booth, and an opening side wall part 6 for retracting the sliding door 4. A slope 27 is provided on the outside 14 side of the opening 12 to eliminate the step between the floor surface (upper surface) of the floor part 2 and the installation surface 11. The floor part 2 has a rectangular shape in plan view. The floor part 2 is provided inside the three side wall parts 3. The three side wall parts 3 have the same shape. In the following, we will explain the side wall portion 3 that is provided along the outer periphery of the booth 1, which corresponds to one short side of the rectangular shape in a plan view, and we will not explain the other side wall portions 3.

[0026] As shown in Figs. 1, 3 and 4, the side wall 3 has a side wall main body 31, an adjuster 32 and casters 33. The side wall main body 31 is formed in a flat plate shape and forms a wall surface that separates the indoor 13 side and the outdoor 14 side of the booth 1. As shown in Figs. 3 and 5, the adjuster 32 is attached to a lower end portion 31a of the side wall main body 31 and is grounded on the installation surface 11. The adjuster 32 can adjust the distance between the side wall main body 31 and the installation surface 11. A plurality of adjusters 32 and casters 33 are provided on the side wall main body 31 at intervals in the width direction.

[0027] The adjuster 32 has an installation portion 321 that is grounded to the installation surface 11, and a screw portion 322 that is connected to the top of the installation portion 321 and extends in the vertical direction. The screw portion 322 is provided in the lower end portion 31a of the sidewall main body 31 and is screwed into a screw hole 371. By increasing the length of the screw portion 322 inserted into the screw hole 371 and shortening the length of the screw portion 322 protruding downward from the lower end portion 31a of the sidewall main body 31, the distance between the lower end portion 31a of the sidewall main body 31 and the installation surface 11 is reduced. By decreasing the length of the screw portion 322 inserted into the screw hole 371 and increasing the length of the screw portion 322 protruding downward from the lower end portion 31a of the sidewall main body 31, the distance between the lower end portion 31a of the sidewall main body 31 and the installation surface 11 is increased. The sidewall 3 can accommodate unevenness of the installation surface 11 by adjusting the length of the adjuster 32.

[0028] The casters 33 are attached to the lower end 31a of the side wall main body 31, and can run while touching the installation surface 11. When the adjusters 32 are adjusted so that the installation parts 321 of the adjusters 32 are positioned below the lower ends of the casters 33, the casters 33 are in a state of floating above the installation surface 11, and when the installation parts 321 of the adjusters 32 are positioned above the lower ends of the casters 33, the casters 33 are in a state of touching the installation surface 11. When the adjusters 32 are adjusted so that the installation parts 321 of the adjusters 32 are positioned above the lower ends of the casters 33, and the casters 33 are in a state of touching the installation surface 11, the casters 33 can be made to run along the installation surface 11 to move the booth 1. In this embodiment, the booth 1 can be moved when the floor section 2 is detached from the side wall section 3, when the floor section 2 is attached to the side wall section 3 but floating above the installation surface 11, or when the floor section 2 is in contact with the installation surface 11 but with low friction between the floor section 2 and the installation surface 11 (for example, when a low-friction sheet is attached to the portion of the floor section 2 that comes into contact with the installation surface 11).

[0029] 3 and 4, the side wall main body 31 has a reinforcing member 35 and a wall panel portion 36. The reinforcing member 35 is a long member extending over substantially the entire width of the side wall main body 31. The reinforcing member 35 is provided along the lower end portion 31a of the side wall main body 31. The reinforcing member 35 in this embodiment is a square cylindrical steel material. The adjuster 32 and the caster 33 are attached to the reinforcing member 35, and the floor portion 2 is connected to the reinforcing member 35.

[0030] The reinforcing member 35 has a lower plate portion 351 located on the lower side, an upper plate portion 352 located on the upper side, an indoor side plate portion 353 located on the indoor 13 side, and an outdoor side plate portion 354 located on the outdoor 14 side. The lower plate portion 351 and the upper plate portion 352 have plate surfaces facing the up-down direction. The indoor side plate portion 353 and the outdoor side plate portion 354 have plate surfaces facing the thickness direction. As shown in Figs. 3 and 5, a nut 37 having a screw hole 371 formed therein into which the screw portion 322 of the adjuster 32 is inserted is attached to the lower plate portion 351. The caster 33 is attached to the lower plate portion 351. As shown in Figs. 3 and 4, the wall plate portion 36 is fixed to the upper plate portion 352. The connecting plate portion 22 of the floor portion 2 is connected to the indoor side plate portion 353. The indoor side plate portion 353 has a plurality of screw holes 353a formed at intervals in the width direction, into which screws 25 for connecting the connecting plate portion 22 are inserted. The connecting plate portion 22 will be described later.

[0031] The wall panel portion 36 has an indoor panel 361, an outdoor panel 362, and a core material 363. In FIG. 4, the indoor panel 361 is omitted. The indoor panel 361 is disposed on the indoor 13 side. The outdoor panel 362 is disposed on the outdoor 14 side of the indoor panel 361 with a gap therebetween. The indoor panel 361 and the outdoor panel 362 are formed in a flat plate shape. The indoor panel 361 forms the indoor side surface of the wall panel portion 36. The outdoor panel 362 forms the outdoor 14 side surface of the wall panel portion 36.

[0032] The core material 363 is provided between the indoor panel 361 and the outdoor panel 362. The core material 363 is a frame in which a member extending in the width direction and a member extending in the up-down direction are connected to each other. A member 363a provided at the lower end of the core material 363 and extending in the width direction is placed on the reinforcing member 35 and fixed to the reinforcing member 35.

[0033] The indoor panel 361 and the outdoor panel 362 are fixed to a core material 363. A lower end 631a of the indoor panel 361 is disposed above the reinforcing member 35. The indoor panel 361 is disposed above and overlapping the upper plate portion 352 of the reinforcing member 35. A lower end 362a of the outdoor panel 362 is disposed below the reinforcing member 35. The outdoor panel 362 is disposed on the outdoor 14 side of the outdoor plate portion 354 of the reinforcing member 35. In this embodiment, a bent portion 362b bent toward the outdoor 14 side is provided at the lower end 362a of the outdoor panel 362. A flat portion 362c of the outdoor panel 362 above the bent portion 362b is disposed at an interval on the outdoor 14 side of the outdoor plate portion 354.

[0034] 3, the thickness dimension A of the lower end 31a of the side wall main body 31, i.e., the dimension A from the surface 353b on the indoor side 13 side of the indoor side plate portion 353 of the reinforcing member 35 to the surface 362d on the outdoor side 14 side of the outdoor panel 362, is larger than the thickness dimension B of the upper side thereof, i.e., the dimension B from the surface 361a on the indoor side 13 side of the indoor panel 361 to the surface 362d on the outdoor side 14 side of the outdoor panel 362. In other words, the thickness dimension B of the portion of the side wall 3 above the reinforcing member 35 is smaller than the thickness dimension A of the portion of the side wall 3 where the reinforcing member 35 is provided.

[0035] An end 321a on the indoor 13 side of the installation portion 321 of the adjuster 32 protrudes indoors further than a surface 353b on the indoor 13 side of the indoor side plate portion 353 of the reinforcing member 35. An end 321b on the outdoor 14 side of the installation portion 321 is disposed closer to the indoor 13 side than a surface on the outdoor 14 side of the outdoor side plate portion 354 of the reinforcing member 35. In other words, the end 321b on the outdoor 14 side of the installation portion 321 does not protrude toward the outdoor 14 side further than the reinforcing member 35 and the outdoor panel 362.

[0036] As shown in Figs. 3 to 7, the floor section 2 has a floor section main body 21 and a connecting plate section 22. Fig. 7 shows the floor section 2, the reinforcing member 35 of the side wall section 3, the adjuster 32, and the caster 33. The floor section main body 21 is disposed along the installation surface 11. The shape of the floor section main body 21 in a plan view is rectangular. The floor section main body 21 has a floor surface material 23 and a floor surface support material 24. The floor surface support material 24 is installed on the installation surface 11. The floor surface material 23 is installed on the floor surface support material 24. The floor surface material 23 is formed in a flat plate shape. The upper surface of the floor surface material 23 is the floor surface of the room 13 of the booth 1. The floor surface support material 24 of this embodiment is a long member extending horizontally along the installation surface 11. A plurality of floor surface support materials 24 are provided at intervals in the horizontal direction. The floor support material 24 may be a long member as described above, or a surface material.

[0037] As shown in FIG. 6, the floor surface material 23 is placed on a plurality of floor surface supports 24. The floor surface material 23 has a rectangular shape in a plan view. As shown in FIG. 3, the lower surface of the floor surface material 23 faces the installation surface 11. The outer edge portion 23a of the floor surface material 23 protrudes outward beyond the floor surface supports 24. The outer edge portion 23a of the floor surface material 23 is formed with a bent portion 231 that is bent downward. The lower surface 231a of the bent portion 231 is disposed above the lower surface 24a of the floor surface support material 24.

[0038] As shown in Figures 3 and 4, the connecting plate portion 22 is attached along a portion of the outer edge of the floor surface material 23 that faces the side wall portion 3. The connecting plate portion 22 is fixed to a bent portion 231 of the floor surface material 23. The lower end portion 22a of the connecting plate portion 22 is disposed at the same height as the lower surface 24a (see Figure 3) of the floor surface support material 24. The upper side of the connecting plate portion 22 protrudes upward above the floor surface material 23. The connecting plate portion 22 has a rising portion 221, an upper bent portion 222, and a lower bent portion 223. The connecting plate portion 22 is manufactured by bending a steel plate or the like.

[0039] The rising portion 221 is formed in a flat plate shape and is provided along the outer edge of the floor main body 21 with the plate surface oriented in a vertical plane. The surface of the rising portion 221 facing the outside 14 faces the side wall 3. The upper bent portion 222 protrudes from the entire upper edge of the rising portion 221 toward the outside 14 side. The lower bent portion 223 protrudes from the entire lower edge of the rising portion 221 toward the inside of the room 13 side.

[0040] The lower bent portion 223 has a first plate portion 223a on the indoor 13 side from the lower edge of the rising portion 221, a second plate portion 223b extending downward from the indoor 13 side edge of the first plate portion 223a, and a third plate portion 223c extending from the lower edge of the second plate portion 223b to the outdoor 14 side. The first plate portion 223a is fixed to the lower surface of the bent portion 231 of the floor surface material 23 from the lower side. The first plate portion 223a and the bent portion 231 are fixed with a fastener such as a screw. The lower surface of the third plate portion 223c is disposed at the same height as the lower surface 24a of the floor surface support material 24. The lower surface of the first plate portion 223a is disposed above the height of the lower surface of the third plate portion 223c, i.e., the height of the lower surface 24a of the floor surface support material 24. In other words, the lower surface 2a of the outer edge portion of the floor portion 2 is disposed higher than the lower end 2b of the floor portion 2 (the lower surface 24a of the floor surface support member 24).

[0041] The rising portion 221 extends from the height of the lower surface of the bent portion 231 of the floor surface material 23 to a height above the upper surface of the floor surface material 23. The part of the rising portion 221 above the upper surface of the floor surface material 23 overlaps the room 13 side of the indoor side plate portion 353 of the reinforcing member 35. The rising portion 221 has a plurality of elongated holes 224 extending in the vertical direction and spaced apart in the width direction, through which the screws 25 for fixing the connecting plate portion 22 to the indoor side plate portion 353 are inserted. The elongated holes 224 are arranged at positions overlapping the screw holes 353a of the indoor side plate portion 353. The rising portion 221 can be adjusted in height at which it is fixed to the reinforcing member 35 within the range of the length of the elongated holes 224. That is, the floor portion 2 can be adjusted in height at which it is fixed to the side wall portion main body 31 within the range of the length of the elongated holes 224. The mechanism capable of adjusting the height at which the floor 2 is fixed to the side wall main body 31 within the range of the length of the long hole 224 corresponds to the floor height adjustment unit 7. The upper folded portion 222 is formed with dimensions such that, regardless of the height at which the rising portion 221 is fixed to the reinforcing member 35, the upper folded portion 222 is positioned above the upper plate portion 352 of the reinforcing member 35 and above the lower end portion 361b of the indoor panel 361.

[0042] We will explain how to set up booth 1. First, the side wall 3 is installed on the installation surface 11. The three side wall parts 3 provided on the periphery of the booth 1 are installed on the installation surface 11 so as to form a C-shape in plan view. The adjuster 32 is adjusted to adjust the height of the side wall main body 31. At this time, the adjuster 32 is adjusted so that the reinforcing member 35 is horizontal.

[0043] Next, the floor section 2 is installed on the inside (indoor 13 side) of the three side wall sections 3. The floor section 2 is installed so that the lower surface 24a of the floor surface support member 24, which is the lower end 2b of the floor section 2, is in contact with the installation surface 11. The surface on the outdoor 14 side of the rising portion 221 of the connecting plate section 22 of the floor section 2 is brought into contact with the surface 353b on the indoor 13 side of the indoor side plate section 353 of the reinforcing member 35. The floor section 2 is installed so that the upper end of the connecting plate section 22 is disposed above the reinforcing member 35 and above the lower end of the indoor panel 361 of the side wall section 3. As described above, the long hole 224 of the connecting plate section 22 and the screw hole 353a of the reinforcing member 35 are disposed so as to overlap. The screw 25 is inserted into the long hole 224 of the overlapping connecting plate section 22 and the screw hole 353a of the reinforcing member 35, and the connecting plate section 22 and the reinforcing member 35 are connected by the screw 25. In this manner, the floor portion 2 is fixed to the side wall portion 3 in a state where the floor portion 2 is in contact with the installation surface 11 .

[0044] As described above, the underside 2a of the outer edge portion of the floor portion 2 is disposed above the lower end 2b of the floor portion 2 (the underside 24a of the floor surface support member 24). Therefore, a hollow portion 2c is formed between the underside 2a of the outer edge portion of the floor portion 2 and the installation surface 11. As described above, the end portion on the indoor 13 side of the installation portion 321 of the adjuster 32 protrudes toward the indoor side from the indoor 13 side surface 353b of the indoor side plate portion 353 of the reinforcing member 35. The portion (protruding portion 321c) of the installation portion 321 of the adjuster 32 that protrudes toward the indoor 13 side from the indoor 13 side surface 353b of the indoor side plate portion 353 is disposed in the hollow portion 2c between the underside 2a of the outer edge portion of the floor portion 2 and the installation surface 11.

[0045] In the above, the lower end 2b of the floor section 2 is grounded on the installation surface 11, but the floor section 2 can be installed at any height relative to the reinforcing member 35 within the height range of the long hole 224. For this reason, it is also possible to install the floor section 2 in a floating state without the lower end 2b being grounded on the installation surface 11. In this case as well, a space 2c is formed between the lower surface 2a of the outer edge portion of the floor section 2 and the installation surface 11. The protruding portion 321c of the adjuster 32 is disposed in the space 2c between the lower surface 2a of the outer edge portion of the floor section 2 and the installation surface 11.

[0046] It is preferable that the long hole 224 is formed to a length that corresponds to a height at which the floor portion 2 can be connected so that the lower end 2b of the floor portion 2 touches the installation surface 11 when the adjuster 32 is at its highest, i.e., when the side wall portion main body 31 is installed at its highest relative to the installation surface 11, and a height at which the floor portion 2 can be connected so that a predetermined gap is provided between the lower end 2b of the floor portion 2 and the installation surface 11 when the adjuster 32 is at its lowest, i.e., when the side wall portion main body 31 is installed at its lowest relative to the installation surface 11.

[0047] Once the side wall 3 and floor 2 are installed, the opening side wall 6, ceiling 5, and sliding door 4 are installed. A slope 27 is installed on the outside 14 side of the opening where the sliding door 4 opens and closes to eliminate the step between the installation surface 11 and the floor surface of the floor 2. In this manner, the booth 1 is installed.

[0048] The effects of the booth 1 of this embodiment will be described. In the booth 1 according to this embodiment, the unevenness of the installation surface 11 can be accommodated by adjusting the adjuster 32. Since the booth 1 has the floor height adjustment part 7 and the floor 2 can be connected to the side wall main body 31 so that the position in the height direction can be adjusted, the floor 2 can be installed at a desired height, independent of the adjustment by the adjuster 32.

[0049] In the booth 1 according to this embodiment, the floor height adjustment unit 7 can connect the floor 2 to the side wall body 31 at a height position where the lower end 2b of the floor 2 is in contact with the installation surface 11. With this configuration, the floor 2 can be placed on the installation surface 11, and the floor 2 can be installed at a low position. Since the strength required for the floor is smaller than when the floor 2 is floating from the installation surface 11, the floor 2 can be made thin, the floor surface (the upper surface of the floor 2) can be installed at a low position, and the floor 2 can be made to have a simple and inexpensive structure. Since the floor 2 is supported by the installation surface 11, the booth can be installed in a more stable state. In addition, the side wall 3 does not need to support the floor 2, and since the strength required for the side wall 3 is smaller in this case, the side wall 3 can be made to have a simple and inexpensive structure.

[0050] In the booth 1 according to this embodiment, the side wall 3 is provided around the floor 2. With this configuration, when assembling the booth 1, the side wall 3 can be installed at a position corresponding to the periphery of the floor 2 on the installation surface 11, and then the floor 2 can be installed inside the side wall 3.

[0051] In the booth 1 according to this embodiment, the floor height adjustment unit 7 connects the floor 2 to the reinforcing member 35 so that the position in the height direction can be adjusted. With this configuration, the adjuster 32 is stably connected to the side wall main body 31, and the floor 2 is stably connected to the side wall main body 31, so that the booth can be installed on the installation surface 11 in a stably state.

[0052] In the booth 1 according to this embodiment, the floor height adjustment section 7 connects the connecting plate section 22 to the side wall main body 31 so that the height position can be adjusted, and the connecting plate section 22 is in surface contact with the side wall main body 31. With this configuration, the gap between the connecting plate section 22 and the side wall main body 31, i.e., the gap between the floor section 2 and the side wall section 3, can be eliminated or reduced, so that sound can be prevented from being transmitted into the booth through the gap between the floor section 2 and the side wall section 3, and the soundproofing performance of the booth can be improved.

[0053] In the booth 1 according to this embodiment, the floor height adjustment unit 7 connects the connecting plate unit 22 to the reinforcing member 35 so that the height position can be adjusted, and the upper end of the connecting plate unit 22 is disposed higher than the upper end of the reinforcing member 35. With this configuration, the reinforcing member 35 is covered by the connecting plate unit 22, preventing the reinforcing member from being exposed and improving the design.

[0054] In the booth 1 according to this embodiment, the thickness dimension B of the portion of the side wall 3 above the reinforcing member 35 is smaller than the thickness dimension A of the portion of the side wall 3 where the reinforcing member 35 is provided. With this configuration, even if the cross-sectional shape required for the reinforcing member 35 is large, the portion of the side wall 3 above the reinforcing member 35 can be made smaller in thickness, i.e. thinner, than the portion where the reinforcing member 35 is provided, so that the space inside the booth 1 can be made larger.

[0055] In the booth 1 according to this embodiment, the adjuster 32 has a protruding portion 321c that protrudes toward the floor portion 2 side from the side wall portion main body 31, and between the lower surface 2a of the outer edge portion of the floor portion 2 and the installation surface 11, a hollow portion 2c in which the protruding portion 321c is arranged is formed. With this configuration, if the protruding portion 321c of the adjuster 32 is made to be a grounding portion with the installation surface 11, the installation area of ​​the adjuster 32 can be increased, and the booth can be installed in a stable state. Even if the adjuster 32 has the protruding portion 321c, the adjuster 32 can be installed closer to the floor portion 2 by arranging the protruding portion 321c in the hollow portion 2c between the lower surface 2a of the outer edge portion of the floor portion 2 and the installation surface 11. In other words, since the adjuster 32 can be arranged inside the booth 1 from the outer surface of the side wall portion 3, the exposure of the adjuster 32 can be suppressed, and the adjuster 32 can be made less visible from outside the booth 1.

[0056] Although the embodiment of the booth according to the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment and can be modified as appropriate without departing from the spirit of the present invention. For example, in the above embodiment, the booth 1 is provided with the sliding door 4 and the ceiling part 5, but these do not have to be provided. The booth 1 may be provided with a door such as a hinged door other than the sliding door 4. In the above embodiment, the booth 1 is provided with the slope 27, but this does not have to be provided. The plan view shape of the booth 1 may be set as appropriate.

[0057] In the above embodiment, the floor portion 2 is connected to the side wall main body 31 at a height position where the lower end 2b comes into contact with the installation surface 11, but the height of the floor portion 2 may be set appropriately.

[0058] In the above embodiment, the side wall portion 3 is provided around the floor portion 2, and the floor portion 2 is installed after the side wall portion 3 is assembled, but the order in which the floor portion 2 and the side wall portion 3 are assembled and the position at which the floor portion 2 and the side wall portion 3 are connected may be set appropriately.

[0059] In the above embodiment, the side wall main body 31 includes the reinforcing member 35 provided at the lower end, but it is not necessary to include the reinforcing member 35. Even if the reinforcing member 35 is included, the shape of the reinforcing member 35 may be other than that described above.

[0060] In the above embodiment, the floor section 2 has the connecting plate section 22 extending upward from the outer edge section of the floor section main body 21, and the connecting plate section 22 is connected to the side wall section main body 31 in surface contact, but the floor section 2 does not have to have the connecting plate section 22. Even if the floor section 2 has the connecting plate section 22, it does not have to be in surface contact with the side wall section main body 31.

[0061] In the above embodiment, the upper end of the connecting plate portion 22 is positioned higher than the upper end of the reinforcing member 35, but the positions of the upper end of the connecting plate portion 22 and the upper end of the reinforcing member 35 may be set as appropriate.

[0062] In the above embodiment, the thickness dimension B of the portion of the side wall 3 above the reinforcing member 35 is smaller than the thickness dimension A of the portion of the side wall 3 where the reinforcing member 35 is provided, but the initial dimension of the side wall 3 may be set as appropriate.

[0063] In the above embodiment, the adjuster 32 has a protruding portion 321c that protrudes further toward the floor portion 2 than the side wall main body 31, and a hollow portion 2c in which the protruding portion 321c is disposed is formed between the lower surface 2a of the outer edge portion of the floor portion 2 and the installation surface 11. The adjuster 32 may be provided so as not to protrude further toward the floor portion 2 than the side wall main body 31. [Explanation of symbols]
