Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0023] Hereinafter, with reference to FIGS. 1 to 10, the meeting booth according to each embodiment of the present invention will be described. In the present embodiment, the direction of the meeting booth 1 is defined by the arrow in FIG. 1. The meeting booth 1 according to the present embodiment is used for a plurality of people to use the interior while being placed on the floor surface, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 4.

[0024] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 7, the meeting booth 1 according to the present embodiment includes a booth body 2 formed in a regular hexagonal shape in plan view. The booth body 2 includes a peripheral wall 3, a door 4 that can open and close an opening formed in the peripheral wall 3, and a ceiling 5 that closes the upper part of the peripheral wall 3, and is formed in a regular hexagonal shape in a horizontal cross-sectional view (see FIG. 4). When the opening of the peripheral wall 3 is closed by the door 4, an internal space isolated from the outside is formed in the meeting booth 1.

[0025] In the conference booth 1 according to the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, the inner surface sides of the peripheral wall 3 and the door 4 are formed to be open downward. By forming the conference booth 1 to be open downward without providing a floor board, it is possible to secure a larger effective height of the interior with respect to the height of the entire booth compared to a booth provided with a floor board. When mass-producing the conference booth 1, it is necessary to be able to install it in many spaces. Since there is a limit to increasing the height of the entire conference booth 1, the configuration of the present embodiment that can make the height of the interior as high as possible is suitable.

[0026] Also, since the inner surface sides of the peripheral wall 3 and the door 4 of the conference booth 1 are formed to be open downward, when a user enters and exits the inside of the conference booth 1, there is no need to ascend or descend a step. In this way, by eliminating the step between the outside and the inside, the conference booth 1 can enter and exit on the same plane, improving the convenience of the conference booth 1.

[0027] As described above, in the conference booth 1 according to the present embodiment, since the floor member is not provided at the lower part of the inner surface sides of the peripheral wall 3 and the door 4, when using the conference booth 1, the floor member will not deform or make abnormal noises under the load of the user or the like. Further, in the present embodiment, since it is not necessary to provide a floor member with high rigidity so that deformation or the like does not occur, the manufacturing cost of the conference booth 1 can be suppressed.

[0028] As shown in FIG. 7, at the lower end surface of the peripheral wall 3 of the booth body 2, there are provided a plurality (eleven in the present embodiment) of casters 74 and a plurality (fourteen in the present embodiment) of grounding members 75 whose extension length from the lower surface of the peripheral wall 3 to the floor surface can be adjusted by a user rotating them using hands or tools. Note that the number of casters 74 is not limited as long as the conference booth 1 can be moved. Similarly, the number of grounding members 75 is not limited as long as the conference booth 1 can be stably installed.

[0029] The conference booth 1 according to this embodiment can be changed between a non-movable state in which the casters 74 are separated from the floor surface and a movable state in which the casters 74 are in contact with the floor surface. Specifically, by adjusting the extension length of the grounding member 75 from the lower surface of the peripheral wall 3 to be greater than the extension length of the casters 74, the non-movable state in which the casters 74 are separated from the floor surface is achieved. Further, by adjusting the extension length of the grounding member 75 from the lower surface of the peripheral wall 3 to be smaller than the extension length of the casters 74, the movable state in which the casters 74 are in contact with the floor surface is achieved.

[0030] As described above, in the conference booth 1 according to this embodiment, by providing a plurality of casters 74 and a plurality of grounding members 75 whose extension lengths with respect to the floor surface can be adjusted, it is possible to easily move / install the conference booth 1.

[0031] In the conference booth 1 according to this embodiment, the peripheral wall 3 constituting the booth body 2 is configured by assembling a plurality of panel bodies to the frame body 6. As shown in FIG. 3, the frame body 6 is configured by combining a lower frame member 61, vertical frame members 62, an upper frame member 63, and a ceiling frame member 64.

[0032] The lower frame member 61 is a member that constitutes the lower end portion of the peripheral wall 3, and the casters 74 and the grounding member 75 are fixed to its lower surface. The vertical frame members 62 arranged at the vertices of the regular hexagon formed by the peripheral wall 3 stand upright upward from the connecting portion of the lower frame member 61. The upper frame members 63 that constitute each side of the regular hexagon formed by the peripheral wall 3 connect the upper end portions of the vertical frame members 62. The ceiling frame member 64 is arranged in an equilateral triangle shape by connecting the middle portions of the upper frame members 63.

[0033] In the conference booth 1 according to this embodiment, a steel panel 31 and a glass panel 32 are assembled to the frame body 6 as a plurality of panel bodies. As shown in FIG. 9, the adjacent panel bodies are connected via the vertical frame members 62 and the connecting members 65. The steel panel 31 constituting the peripheral wall 3 can also accommodate a sound-absorbing material such as glass wool inside. Further, it may be configured to provide a sound-absorbing panel on the inner surface of the steel panel 31.

[0034] Also, at the lower end of the peripheral wall 3, it is also possible to adopt a configuration in which a sound insulation plate for closing the gap between the peripheral wall 3 and the floor surface is provided. At this time, by making the height position of the sound insulation plate with respect to the peripheral wall 3 adjustable, the sound insulation performance of the conference booth 1 can be adjusted. Further, when the sound insulation plate is brought into contact with the floor surface, the sound insulation performance of the conference booth 1 can be further enhanced.

[0035] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the door 4 is rotatably assembled to the vertical frame member 62 via a hinge H. The door 4 is configured as a glass door in which a door glass 4b is fitted inside a door frame 4a. A handle 4c is provided on the outer surface of the door 4. A door stop frame 41 and a glass door stop panel 42 are arranged on the door tip side of the door 4. In the conference booth 1 according to the present embodiment, since the door 4 is rotatably assembled to the vertical frame member 62, the opening of the peripheral wall 3 can be opened and closed by the door 4.

[0036] As shown in FIG. 1, the ceiling 5 of the booth body 2 includes six first ceiling panels 51 that constitute the outer peripheral portion of the ceiling 5 and a second ceiling panel 52 that constitutes the central portion of the ceiling 5. As shown in FIG. 8, the first ceiling panel 51 is assembled to the frame body 6 by sandwiching a top frame member 64 that connects the upper sides of the peripheral walls 3 between an upper plate member 51a and a lower plate member 51b. The second ceiling panel 52 is supported by three top frame members 64. Thus, in the conference booth 1 according to the present embodiment, the ceiling 5 is provided on the peripheral wall 3 via the top frame member 64.

[0037] As described above, the conference booth 1 according to the present embodiment can enhance the sound insulation performance of the conference booth 1 by closing the upper portion of the peripheral wall 3 with the ceiling 5 as compared with a booth having an open upper portion. Further, according to the conference booth 1 according to the present embodiment, although it is necessary to secure the size of the ceiling 5 because the indoor space is larger than that of a conventional booth, by adopting a configuration in which the ceiling 5 is assembled to the peripheral wall 3 via the top frame member 64, it is possible to easily assemble the ceiling 5.

[0038] As shown in FIG. 7, lights 72·72 and ventilation fans 73·73 are provided on the lower surface of the three first-day panels 51. The light 72 according to the present embodiment is switched on / off by a presence / absence sensor (not shown) detecting the presence or absence of a user in the conference booth 1.

[0039] Further, two fire extinguishing facilities 71·71 are provided on the lower surface of the second-day panel 52. Specifically, the two fire extinguishing facilities 71·71 are fixed to one attachment member provided on the second-day panel 52. The fire extinguishing facility 71 according to the present embodiment includes a tank portion filled with a fire extinguishing agent, a detection portion for detecting the occurrence of a fire, and an ejection portion for automatically ejecting the fire extinguishing agent when the detection portion detects the occurrence of a fire, and the like.

[0040] As shown in FIG. 4(a), the conference booth 1 according to the present embodiment includes three chairs 81 inside the booth main body 2. The chairs 81 are provided along the inner wall surface of the booth main body 2 and are composed of cushion bodies that enable a plurality of people to sit in a posture close to a standing position. It is also possible to provide a backrest for supporting the user's back on the chair 81. In the present embodiment, the chair 81 is assembled to the vertical frame member 62 via a bracket 81a. By configuring the chair 81 to be fixed to the inner wall surface of the booth main body 2 in this way, the configuration of the conference booth 1 can be simplified.

[0041] Further, the conference booth 1 according to the present embodiment includes a table 82 having a top plate. As shown in FIG. 4(a), the table 82 is arranged such that the outer peripheral edge of the top plate is located at a substantially equal distance from the chair 81 in a plan view. This makes it easier for the user sitting on the chair 81 to use the table 82, thereby improving the convenience for the user.

[0042] Also, as shown in FIG. 4(a), the conference booth 1 according to the present embodiment is provided with a display 83, which is a display member, on an inner wall surface different from the inner wall surface where the chair 81 is provided. According to the conference booth 1, a plurality of users can hold a meeting or the like while looking at the display 83, which is a display member, in a posture of sitting on the chair 81.

[0043] In addition, for the conference booth 1 according to the present embodiment, the booth main body 2 is formed in a regular hexagonal shape in plan view. As a result, it is difficult for a space not used in the booth main body 2 to occur, so that the space efficiency in the booth can be increased. That is, since no wasted space is generated at the corners like a rectangular booth shape, the space inside the booth can be effectively utilized.

[0044] As shown in FIG. 4(a), in the conference booth 1 according to the present embodiment, the display 83 is connected to the communication terminal 86. In addition, a camera 84 and a sound collection microphone 85 connected to the communication terminal 86 are provided inside the booth main body 2. The communication terminal 86 is capable of communicating with other communication terminals located in other places.

[0045] The user of the conference booth 1 can transmit the image data captured by the camera 84 and the voice data collected by the sound collection microphone 85 to other communication terminals via the communication terminal 86. In addition, the communication terminal 86 can display and voice the image data and voice data received from other communication terminals on the display 83. In this way, the conference booth 1 functions as a conference system 100 that enables the user to hold a web conference.

[0046] In the conference system 100 according to the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4(a), the camera 84 is provided on the same side as the display 83. As a result, it is possible to direct the line of sight of the user of the conference booth 1 in the direction of the camera 84. That is, since the line of sight of the user of the conference booth 1 and the user of other communication terminals are likely to match, it is possible to smoothly proceed with the web conference.

[0047] Note that, as in the conference booth 1A (conference system 100A) according to the second embodiment shown in FIG. 4(b), it is also possible to adopt a configuration in which the chair 81A is not fixed to the booth main body 2. Also in the conference booth 1A according to this modification example, a plurality of users can hold a conference or the like while looking at the display 83 which is a display member in a posture of sitting on the chair 81A.

[0048] Also, as in the conference booth 1B (conference system 100B) according to the third embodiment shown in FIG. 5(a), it is also possible to radially arrange the sofa 81B, which is a chair having a seat 81b and a backrest 81c, so as to face the display 83. In this embodiment, by arranging the camera 84 on the surface of the display 83, the users of the conference booth 1B face the remote participants, enabling a more immersive conference.

[0049] Also, by arranging the sofa 81B radially from the camera 84, people do not overlap, and no one sitting on the sofa 81B is extremely far from the camera 84. Thus, remote participants using other communication terminals can confirm the expressions, etc. of the users. Also, when only the users of the conference booth 1B are having a meeting, it is easier to share the display 84 and easier to face each other.

[0050] Also, as in the conference booth 1C (conference system 100C) according to the fourth embodiment shown in FIG. 5(b), it is possible to provide a whiteboard 87 along the inner wall surface of the peripheral wall 3. Also, when chairs 81C are provided along many inner wall surfaces of the peripheral wall 3 as in the conference booth 1C, it is also preferable to arrange a 360-degree camera 88 with a built-in sound-collecting microphone at the center of the table 82C.

[0051] Also, as in the conference booth 1D (conference system 100D) according to the fifth embodiment shown in FIG. 6, it is possible to arrange the top plate of the table 82D to fit the corners of the peripheral wall 3. In this embodiment, while creating a blank space at the entrance that serves as a traffic flow for people, the top plate can be made wider within the same area as a square booth in plan view, and the sofa 81D, which is a chair, can also be made wider. Also, in this embodiment, it is also preferable to provide a display 83 on each of the two inner wall surfaces of the peripheral wall 3 (using the display 83 as a two-screen).

[0052] As described above, the conference booth 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention is formed in a regular hexagonal shape in plan view. However, the conference booth according to the present invention may have a polygonal shape with five or more sides, and its shape is not limited. For example, it is also possible to make it a regular pentagonal shape, like the conference booth 1E according to the sixth embodiment shown in FIG. 10(a). Further, it is also possible to make it a regular octagonal shape, like the conference booth 1F according to the seventh embodiment shown in FIG. 10(b). In addition, it is also possible to make the conference booth into a polygonal shape other than a regular polygon (refer to the conference booth 1G according to the eighth embodiment shown in FIG. 11(b)).

[0053] As shown in FIG. 11(a), a conference booth unit 200 can be configured by combining a plurality of conference booths 1 according to the first embodiment. In the conference booth unit 200 according to the present embodiment, three conference booths 1 are arranged such that the outer wall surfaces of the peripheral wall 3 face each other and are adjacent to each other. In this way, by combining a plurality of conference booths 1 to form a conference booth unit 200, it becomes possible to hold a plurality of conferences simultaneously.

[0054] Also, as shown in FIG. 11(a), in the conference booth unit 200 according to the present embodiment, in the external space of the conference booth 1, an external table To and an external chair Co are arranged within a region (booth region 1V shown by the virtual line in FIG. 11(a)) having the same shape as the plan view shape of the conference booth 1 facing two adjacent outer wall surfaces in the continuous conference booths 1.

[0055] According to the conference booth unit 200 configured as described above, users who have come out of the conference booth 1 can use the external table To and the external chair Co to take breaks and have conversations, so the convenience of the users of the conference booth unit 200 can be improved. Also, at this time, it is also possible to configure the outer wall surface of the conference booth unit 200 to be used as a whiteboard or to fix a display on the outer wall surface.

[0056] Also, as shown in Fig. 11(b), by combining a plurality of meeting booths 1G different from the first embodiment, a meeting booth unit 200A according to the second embodiment can also be configured. Also in the meeting booth unit 200A according to this embodiment, in the external space of the meeting booth 1D, in a region (booth region 1GV shown by the virtual line in Fig. 11(b)) having the same planar shape as the meeting booth 1G facing two adjacent outer wall surfaces in the continuous meeting booth 1G, an external table To and external chairs Co can be arranged.

[0057] Next, with reference to Figs. 12 to 25, a meeting booth 301 according to another embodiment of the present invention will be described. In this embodiment, the direction of the meeting booth 301 is defined by the arrows in Figs. 12 to 15. As shown in Fig. 12, the meeting booth 301 according to this embodiment is used for a plurality of people to use the interior when placed on the floor surface.

[0058] As shown in Figs. 12 to 14, the meeting booth 301 according to this embodiment is formed in a regular hexagon shape in plan view. The meeting booth 301 includes a peripheral wall 303, a door 304 that can open and close an opening formed in the peripheral wall 303, and a ceiling 305 that closes the upper part of the peripheral wall 303. In the meeting booth 301 according to this embodiment, any polygon with five or more sides may be used, and its shape is not limited.

[0059] As shown in Figs. 13 and 14, the meeting booth 301 is formed in a regular hexagon shape in a horizontal cross-sectional view by the peripheral wall 303 and the door 304. When the opening formed in the peripheral wall 303 is closed by the door 304, an internal space isolated from the outside is formed in the meeting booth 301.

[0060] Also in the conference booth 301 according to this embodiment, similar to the above-described conference booth 1, the inner surface sides of the peripheral wall 303 and the door 304 are formed to open downward. The conference booth 301 is formed to have an opening on the lower side without providing a floor board, so that it is possible to secure a larger effective height of the interior with respect to the height of the entire booth compared to a booth provided with a floor board. When mass-producing the conference booth 301, it is necessary to be able to install it in many spaces. Since there is a limit to increasing the height of the entire conference booth 301, the configuration of this embodiment that can make the height of the interior as high as possible is suitable.

[0061] Further, since the inner surface sides of the peripheral wall 303 and the door 304 of the conference booth 301 are formed to open downward, when a user enters and exits the inside of the conference booth 301, there is no need to ascend or descend a step. In this way, the conference booth 301 eliminates the step between the outside and the inside, enables entry and exit on the same plane, and improves the convenience of the conference booth 301.

[0062] As described above, in the conference booth 301 according to this embodiment, since the floor member is not provided at the lower part of the inner surface sides of the peripheral wall 303 and the door 304, when using the conference booth 301, the floor member will not be deformed or abnormal noise will not occur due to the load of the user or the like. Further, in this embodiment, since it is not necessary to provide a floor member with high rigidity so that deformation or the like does not occur, the manufacturing cost of the conference booth 301 can be suppressed.

[0063] As shown in FIG. 14, at the lower end surface of the peripheral wall 303 in the conference booth 301, there are provided a plurality (nine in this embodiment) of casters 374 and a plurality (six in this embodiment) of grounding members 375 whose extension length from the lower surface of the peripheral wall 303 to the floor surface can be adjusted by a user rotating them using hands or tools. Note that the number of casters 374 is not limited as long as the conference booth 301 can be moved. Similarly, the number of grounding members 375 is not limited as long as the conference booth 301 can be stably installed.

[0064] The conference booth 301 according to this embodiment can be changed between a non-movable state in which the casters 374 are separated from the floor surface and a movable state in which the casters 374 are in contact with the floor surface. Specifically, by adjusting the extension length of the grounding member 375 from the lower surface of the peripheral wall 303 to be larger than the extension length of the casters 374, the non-movable state in which the casters 374 are separated from the floor surface is achieved. Further, by adjusting the extension length of the grounding member 375 from the lower surface of the peripheral wall 303 to be smaller than the extension length of the casters 374, the movable state in which the casters 374 are in contact with the floor surface is achieved.

[0065] As described above, in the conference booth 301 according to this embodiment, by providing a plurality of casters 374 and a plurality of grounding members 375 whose extension lengths with respect to the floor surface can be adjusted, it is possible to easily move / install the conference booth 301.

[0066] In the conference booth 1 according to this embodiment, the peripheral wall 303 is configured by assembling a plurality of side plate panels to a frame body 306. The frame body 306 is configured by combining a lower frame member 361, vertical frame members 362, upper frame members 363, a top frame member 364, and support frame members 365 as shown in FIG. 15. In this embodiment, the top frame member 364 and the support frame members 365 function as frame members disposed inside the ceiling 305.

[0067] The lower frame member 361 is a member that constitutes the lower end portion of the peripheral wall 303, and the casters 374 and the grounding member 375 are fixed to its lower surface. The vertical frame members 362 disposed at the vertices of the regular hexagon formed by the peripheral wall 303 are erected upward from the connecting portion of the lower frame member 361. The upper frame members 363 that constitute each side of the regular hexagon formed by the peripheral wall 303 connect the upper end portions of the vertical frame members 362. The three top frame members 364 are arranged in an equilateral triangle shape by connecting the middle portions of the upper frame members 363.

[0068] The three support frame members 365 are arranged by connecting the middle part of the ceiling frame member 364. A rectangular shape is formed by the three support frame members 365 and the single ceiling frame member 364. The frame member including the three support frame members 365 is arranged inside the ceiling 305 to support the support members (the first support member 381 and the second support member 383) described later.

[0069] In the conference booth 301 according to the present embodiment, two steel panels 331 and three glass panels 332 are assembled to the frame body 306 as a plurality of side plate panels. As shown in FIG. 23, the side plate panels adjacent to each other are connected via the vertical frame member 362. In the present embodiment, the steel panel 331 constituting the peripheral wall 303 houses a sound-absorbing material 331a such as glass wool inside as shown in FIG. 13. Further, a sound-absorbing panel 331b is provided on the inner surface of the steel panel 331.

[0070] Also, at the lower end of the peripheral wall 303, it is also possible to adopt a configuration in which a sound insulation plate is provided to close the gap between the peripheral wall 303 and the floor surface. At this time, by making it possible to change the height position of the sound insulation plate with respect to the peripheral wall 303, it is possible to adjust the sound insulation performance of the conference booth 301. Further, when the sound insulation plate is brought into contact with the floor surface, it is possible to further enhance the sound insulation performance of the conference booth 301.

Then, these magnets 353, 353,... adsorb to the lower surfaces of the plate-like member 386, the first support member 381, and the second support members 383, 383, whereby the interior panels 352a to 352c are assembled to the ceiling member 364 and the support frame member 365 which are frame members. Thus, according to the conference booth 301 according to this embodiment, by assembling the interior panels 352a to 352c via the magnets 353, it is possible to stably support the interior panels 352a to 352c.

[0086] As shown in FIG. 14, the ceiling 305 in the conference booth 301 according to this embodiment is configured to include a plurality of (six in this embodiment) outer panels 351 provided on the upper surface of the ceiling 305 adjacent to each other. The outer panel 351 is formed by bending a substantially pentagonal metal plate material.

[0087] In the conference booth 301 according to this embodiment, each of the outer panels 351 is formed in the same shape and arranged side by side in the circumferential direction of the ceiling 305. Thus, in the conference booth 301, by arranging the outer panels 351 constituting the ceiling 305 having a large size in a rotationally symmetric shape, it is possible to stabilize and simply configure the ceiling 305.

[0088] As shown in FIG. 20, a convex portion 351a protruding downward is formed on one side of the outer panel 351, and a concave portion 351b opening upward is formed on the other side. Then, the adjacent outer panels 351 engage with each other by inserting the convex portion 351a of the other outer panel 351 adjacent on the side of the concave portion 351b into the concave portion 351b.

[0089] When installing six outer panels 351 on the ceiling 305, as shown in Fig. 21, starting from the first outer panel 351, the outer panels 351 are assembled to the upper frame member 363 in order, such as the second, third, etc., adjacent in a clockwise direction, using fixing screws. Then, as shown in Fig. 22, while inserting the recess 351b of the last (sixth) outer panel 351 below the protrusion 351a of the first outer panel 351, it is engaged with the fifth outer panel 351 and assembled. In this way, in the conference booth 301, by engaging the six outer panels 351 with each other, it becomes possible to stably configure the ceiling 305.

[0090] Also, in this embodiment, the shape of the outer panel 351 is unified so that all the outer panels 351 are provided with the protrusion 351a and the recess 351b. Thereby, the manufacturing cost of the ceiling 305 can be suppressed, and it becomes possible to configure the ceiling 305 regardless of whether the number of outer panels 351 is even or odd.

[0091] Note that the ceiling 305 can also be configured by alternately arranging the outer panel 351 with protrusions 351a·351a formed on both sides and the outer panel 351 with recesses 351b·351b formed on both sides. That is, a protrusion 351a is formed on the side of one outer panel 351 that is located on the side of the other outer panel 351, and a recess 351b is formed on the side of the other outer panel 351 that is located on the side of one outer panel 351, and the adjacent outer panels 351 are configured to engage with each other by inserting the protrusion 351a into the recess 351b.

[0092] In the conference booth 301 according to this embodiment, each outer panel 351 constituting the ceiling 305 is formed in a shape including two sides forming the hexagonal shape of the ceiling 305 (a shape in which each outer panel 351 is arranged at the vertex of the hexagon). Thereby, since the angle of the corner portion formed on the outer shape of the outer panel 351 can be set to 90 degrees or more, the formability of the outer panel 351 can be improved (refer to the first ceiling panel 51 in the first embodiment).

[0093] Also, as shown in FIGS. 21 and 22, the edge of the outer panel 351 located inside the ceiling 305 in the conference booth 301 is supported by support members (first support member 381 and second support members 383·383) via the canopy member 388. Thereby, various devices (such as the light 384 and the ventilation fan 385) can be provided inside the outer panel 351, and the outer panel 351 can be stably supported.

[0094] Further, the conference booth 301 according to the present embodiment is configured such that the boundary line of the outer panel 351 does not coincide with the boundary lines of the interior panels 352a to 352c. Thereby, it is possible to prevent light leakage in the ceiling 305.

[0095] Also, as shown in FIG. 25, it is also possible to arrange and use the conference booths 301 according to the present embodiment adjacent to each other. In this case, an external table To and external chairs Co can be arranged within a region (booth region 301V shown by the virtual line in FIG. 25) having the same shape as the planar view shape of the conference booth 301 facing two adjacent outer wall surfaces in the continuous conference booths 301.

[0096] Even in the case configured as described above, since users who have come out of the conference booth 301 can rest and talk using the external table To and external chairs Co, the convenience of the users of the conference booth 301 can be improved. At this time, as shown in FIG. 25, when the glass panels 332 of the respective conference booths 301 are arranged to face each other, a curtain can be provided inside the glass panel 332 inside the conference booth 301 so as not to be visible from the adjacent conference booth 301, or the glass panel 332 can be temporarily or permanently made into frosted glass.

[0097] [Other Modification Examples] The above-described embodiment can be appropriately modified as shown in the other modification examples shown below. Note that each modification example described in this specification may be applied in combination with other modification examples as long as no contradiction occurs.

[0098] In the conference booth, it is also possible to adopt a configuration in which the interior panel is assembled to the plate-like member and / or the support member without using magnets, for example, a configuration in which it is engaged with the plate-like member and / or the support member, a configuration in which it is adhered with an adhesive, etc. It is also possible to adopt a configuration in which the boundary line of the interior panel coincides with the boundary line of the exterior panel.

[0099] In the conference booth, it may be configured such that no convex portions and concave portions are formed on the exterior panel. Further, each exterior panel may have a shape including only one side that forms the ceiling in its outer shape. Also, it may be configured such that the upper surface of the ceiling is closed by a plurality of exterior panels.

[0100] In the conference booth, it is also possible to provide a floor board without opening the inner surface sides of the peripheral wall and the door. Also, it is possible to adopt a configuration in which the conference booth is not provided with casters and / or grounding members.
