Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

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

[0024] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 7, the conference 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 conference 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 open downward. By forming the conference booth 1 to open downward without providing a floor board, it is possible to secure a larger effective height of the interior with respect to the overall height of the 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, and since there is a limit to increasing the overall height of the conference booth 1, the configuration of the present embodiment that can make the height of the interior as high as possible is suitable.

[0026] Further, since the inner surface sides of the peripheral wall 3 and the door 4 of the conference booth 1 are formed to open downward, there is no need for the user to step up and down when entering and exiting the inside of the conference booth 1. In this way, the conference booth 1 improves the convenience of the conference booth 1 by eliminating the step between the outside and the inside and enabling entry and exit on the same plane.

[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. Also, in the present embodiment, since it is not necessary to provide a floor member with high rigidity so as not to cause deformation or the like, the manufacturing cost of the conference booth 1 can be suppressed.

[0028] As shown in FIG. 7, on the lower end surface of the peripheral wall 3 in the booth main body 2, there are provided a plurality (eleven in this embodiment) of casters 74 and a plurality (fourteen in this 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 as long as the conference booth 1 can be moved, the number of casters 74 is not limited. Similarly, as long as the conference booth 1 can be stably installed, the number of grounding members 75 is not limited.

[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 larger 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. Also, 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 length 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 main body 2 is configured by assembling a plurality of panel bodies to a 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 member 62 disposed at the apex of the regular hexagon formed by the peripheral wall 3 stands upright upward from the connecting portion of the lower frame member 61. The upper frame member 63 that constitutes each side of the regular hexagon formed by the peripheral wall 3 connects the upper end portions of the vertical frame members 62. The top 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 the present 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 mutually adjacent panel bodies are connected via the vertical frame member 62 and the connecting member 65. The steel panel 31 that constitutes the peripheral wall 3 can also accommodate a sound-absorbing material such as glass wool inside. Further, a configuration in which a sound-absorbing panel is provided on the inner surface of the steel panel 31 may be adopted.

[0034] Also, at the lower end portion of the peripheral wall 3, a configuration may be adopted in which a sound insulation board for closing the gap between the peripheral wall 3 and the floor surface is provided. At this time, by making it possible to change the height position of the sound insulation board with respect to the peripheral wall 3, the sound insulation performance of the conference booth 1 can be adjusted. Further, when the sound insulation board 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 the hinge H. The door 4 is configured as a glass door in which a door glass 4b is fitted inside the door frame 4a. A handle 4c is provided on the outer surface of the door 4. On the door tip side of the door 4, a door stop frame 41 and a glass door stop panel 42 are arranged. 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 form the outer peripheral portion of the ceiling 5 and a second ceiling panel 52 that forms 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 the ceiling frame member 64 connecting the upper sides of the peripheral walls 3 between the upper plate member 51a and the lower plate member 51b. Further, the second ceiling panel 52 is supported by three ceiling 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 ceiling frame member 64.

[0037] As described above, the conference booth 1 according to the present embodiment can enhance the sound insulation of the conference booth 1 compared to a booth with an open upper portion by closing the upper portion of the peripheral wall 3 with the ceiling 5. 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 ceiling 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 surfaces of the three first ceiling panels 51. The light 72 according to the present embodiment is switched on / off by a presence / absence sensor (not shown) detecting the presence of a user in the conference booth 1.

[0039] In addition, two fire extinguishing facilities 71·71 are provided on the lower surface of the second ceiling panel 52. Specifically, the two fire extinguishing facilities 71·71 are fixed to one attachment member provided on the second ceiling 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 a jetting portion for automatically jetting 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 multiple people to sit in a posture close to a standing position. It is also possible to configure the chairs 81 to be provided with backrests that support the backs of the users. In the present embodiment, the chairs 81 are assembled to the vertical frame member 62 via brackets 81a. By configuring the chairs 81 to be fixed to the inner wall surface of the booth main body 2 in this way, it is possible to simplify the configuration of the conference booth 1.

[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 positioned at a substantially equal distance from the chairs 81 in a plan view. This makes it easier for the users sitting on the chairs 81 to use the table 82, thus improving the convenience for the users.

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

[0043] Also, in the conference booth 1 according to the present embodiment, the booth main body 2 is formed in a regular hexagon shape in a plan view. This makes it difficult for unused spaces to occur in the booth main body 2, thus making it possible to improve the space efficiency inside the booth. That is, since no wasted space is generated at the corners like in the case of a rectangular booth shape, it is possible to effectively utilize the space inside the booth.

[0044] As shown in Fig. 4(a), in the conference booth 1 according to the present embodiment, the display 83 is connected to a communication terminal 86. Also, 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] Users of Booth 1 for meetings can transmit the image data captured by camera 84 and the audio data collected by sound collection microphone 85 to other communication terminals via communication terminal 86. Also, the communication terminal 86 can display and play the image data and audio data received from other communication terminals on display 83. In this way, Booth 1 for meetings functions as a meeting system 100 that enables users to hold a web conference.

[0046] In the meeting system 100 according to this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4(a), the camera 84 is provided on the same side as the display 83. Thereby, it becomes possible to direct the line of sight of the user of Booth 1 for meetings in the direction of the camera 84. That is, since the line of sight between the user of Booth 1 for meetings and the user of the other communication terminal is likely to match, it becomes possible to smoothly proceed with the web conference.

[0047] Note that, as in the Booth 1A (meeting system 100A) for meetings 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 Booth 1A for meetings according to this modification example, a plurality of users can hold meetings and 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 Booth 1B (meeting system 100B) for meetings according to the third embodiment shown in FIG. 5(a), it is also possible to radially arrange the sofas 81B, which are chairs having seats 81b and backs 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 Booth 1B for meetings face the remote participants, so that a meeting with a sense of presence can be held.

[0049] In addition, by arranging the sofas 81B radially from the camera 84, people will not overlap with each other, and no one sitting on any sofa 81B will be extremely far from the camera 84. Therefore, remote participants using other communication terminals can confirm expressions and the like. Also, when only the users of the meeting booth 1B hold a meeting, it becomes easier to share the display 84 and easier to face each other.

[0050] In addition, as in the meeting booth 1C (conference system 100C) according to the fourth embodiment shown in FIG. 5(b), it is also possible to provide a whiteboard 87 along the inner wall surface of the peripheral wall 3. Further, when chairs 81C are provided along many inner wall surfaces of the peripheral wall 3 as in the meeting 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] In addition, as in the meeting booth 1D (conference system 100D) according to the fifth embodiment shown in FIG. 6, it is also possible to arrange the top plate of the table 82D to match the corners of the peripheral wall 3. In this embodiment, while creating a blank space at the entrance that serves as a flow path for people, it is possible to make the top plate wider within the same area than a square booth in plan view, and it is also possible to widen the sofa 81D which is a chair. Further, in this embodiment, it is also preferable to provide displays 83 on each of the two inner wall surfaces of the peripheral wall 3 (using the displays 83 as a two-screen).

[0052] As described above, the meeting booth 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention is formed in a regular hexagon shape in plan view. However, the meeting booth according to the present invention may be a polygon with five or more sides, and its shape is not limited. For example, as in the meeting booth 1E according to the sixth embodiment shown in FIG. 10(a), it is also possible to make it a regular pentagon shape. Also, as in the meeting booth 1F according to the seventh embodiment shown in FIG. 10(b), it is also possible to make it a regular octagon shape. In addition, it is also possible to make the meeting booth a polygon other than a regular polygon (refer to the meeting 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 this embodiment, three conference booths 1 are arranged such that the outer wall surfaces of the peripheral walls 3 face each other and are close 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 this embodiment, an external table To and an external chair Co are arranged in a region (booth region 1V shown by a virtual line in Fig. 11(a)) having the same shape as the planar view shape of the conference booth 1 facing two adjacent outer wall surfaces in the continuous conference booth 1 in the external space of the conference booth 1.

[0055] According to the conference booth unit 200 configured as described above, users who have come out of the conference booth 1 can rest and talk using the external table To and the external chair Co, so that the convenience of the users of the conference booth unit 200 can be improved. Also, at this time, it is also possible to adopt a configuration in which the outer wall surface of the conference booth unit 200 is used as a whiteboard or a display is fixed to the outer wall surface.

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

[0057] Next, with reference to FIGS. 12 to 28, a conference booth 301 according to another embodiment of the private booth of the present invention will be described. In the present embodiment, the direction of the conference booth 301 is defined by the arrows in FIGS. 12 to 15. As shown in FIG. 12, the conference booth 301 according to the present embodiment is placed on the floor surface and is used for multiple people to use the interior.

[0058] As shown in FIGS. 12 to 14, the conference booth 301 according to the present embodiment is formed in a regular hexagonal shape in plan view. The conference 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 conference booth 301 according to the present embodiment, any polygon with five or more sides may be used, and the shape is not limited.

[0059] As shown in FIGS. 13 and 14, the conference booth 301 is formed in a regular hexagonal 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 conference booth 301.

[0060] Also in the conference booth 301 according to the present embodiment, similar to the above-mentioned conference booth 1, the inner surface sides of the peripheral wall 303 and the door 304 are formed to open downward. By forming the conference booth 301 to open downward without providing a floor board, it is possible to ensure a larger effective height of the interior with respect to the overall height of the 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 overall height of the conference booth 301, the configuration of the present embodiment that can make the height of the living room as high as possible is suitable.

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

[0062] As described above, in the meeting booth 301 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 303 and the door 304, when the meeting booth 301 is used, 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 the present embodiment, since it is not necessary to provide a floor member with high rigidity so as not to cause deformation or the like, the manufacturing cost of the meeting booth 301 can be suppressed.

[0063] As shown in FIG. 14, at the lower end surface of the peripheral wall 303 in the meeting booth 301, there are provided a plurality (nine in the present embodiment) of casters 374 and a plurality (six in the present 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 the casters 374 is not limited as long as the meeting booth 301 can be moved. Similarly, the number of the grounding members 375 is not limited as long as the meeting booth 301 can be stably installed.

[0064] The meeting booth 301 according to the present 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 the present embodiment, by providing a plurality of casters 374 and a plurality of grounding members 375 whose extension length 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 the present embodiment, the peripheral wall 303 is configured by assembling a plurality of side plate panels to a frame body 306. As shown in FIG. 15, 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. In the present 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 members 375 are fixed to the lower surface thereof. The vertical frame members 362 disposed at the vertices of the regular hexagon formed by the peripheral wall 303 stand upright 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 portions of the top frame members 364. A rectangular shape is formed by the three support frame members 365 and one top frame member 364. The frame member including the three support frame members 365 is disposed inside the ceiling 305 to support support members (a first support member 381 and a second support member 383) described later.

[0069] In the conference booth 301 according to this embodiment, two steel panels 331 and three glass panels 332 are assembled to the frame body 306 as a plurality of side plates.

In this 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 becomes 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 becomes possible to further enhance the sound insulation performance of the conference booth 301.

[0071] As shown in FIG. 24, in the conference booth 301, at least one side (three sides in this embodiment, see FIG. 13) of the peripheral wall 303 in plan view has two or more glass panels 332·332 arranged horizontally side by side on the same plane. Each glass panel 332 is provided with joint members 333·333 as vertical frames provided on the side edges on the side of the adjacent glass panel 332. Further, the glass panels 332·332 are assembled to the frame body 306 via a glass frame 334. In this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 24 and 27, the outer dimensions of the two glass panels 332·332 are made close to the dimensions of the outer surface of the glass frame 334 (the glass panels 332·332 are made slightly smaller than the glass frame 334). Thereby, the area of the glass panels 332·332 exposed on the outer surface of the conference booth 301 is increased, and the design property of the conference booth 301 is improved (see FIG. 12).

[0072] As shown in FIGS. 25 and 26, two glass panels 332, 332 which are rectangular plate materials constituting side plate panels in the conference booth 301 can also be combined via a joint member 430 according to a modified example, which has a different shape from the joint members 333, 333. In this modified example, the joint member 430 functions as a vertical frame inserted between the glass panels 332. The joint member 430 according to this modified example is configured by combining a first joint member 431 and a second joint member 432 facing each other.

[0073] As shown in FIG. 25, a groove-shaped first insertion portion 437 is formed in the first joint member 431. The right side of one of the glass panels 332 (the left side in FIG. 25) is inserted into the first insertion portion 437, whereby the first joint member 431 is assembled to the glass panel 332.

[0074] Similarly, a groove-shaped second insertion portion 438 is formed in the second joint member 432. The left side of the other glass panel 332 (the right side in FIG. 25) is inserted into the second insertion portion 438, whereby the second joint member 432 is assembled to the glass panel 332.

[0075] As shown in FIG. 25, the first joint member 431 is formed with a first protrusion 433 protruding toward the second joint member 432, and two first grooves 434, 434 formed on the side opposite to the second joint member 432 at positions sandwiching the first protrusion 433.

[0076] Also, as shown in FIG. 25, the second joint member 432 is formed with two second protrusions 435, 435 protruding toward the first joint member 431, and a second groove 436 formed on the side opposite to the first joint member 431 between the second protrusions 435, 435. In other words, the two second protrusions 435, 435 are formed with the second groove 436 therebetween.

[0077] In this modification example, when combining the two glass panels 332·332, as shown in Fig. 25, the first rib portion 433 is inserted into the second groove portion 436, and the two second rib portions 435·435 are respectively inserted into the two first groove portions 434. Thereby, the first joint member 431 and the second joint member 432 are combined with each other.

[0078] In this modification example, as described above, the glass panels 332·332 arranged side by side on the same plane are regulated in the relative displacement in the out-of-plane direction by the concavo-convex fitting of the joint members 430 (the first joint member 431 and the second joint member 432) which are vertical frames. Specifically, the two glass panels 332·332 are connected and supported by the first joint member 431 and the second joint member 432. More specifically, the configuration is such that the first rib portion 433 is inserted into the second groove portion 436, and the second rib portion 435 is inserted into the first groove portion 434 respectively. Thereby, since the first joint member 431 and the second joint member 432 can be firmly combined, it becomes possible to stably hold the glass panels 332·332.

[0079] In this modification example, as shown in Fig. 26, the respective glass panels 332 are assembled with each other in a state where a glass frame 334 is provided on the sides (the upper side, the lower side, and the outer side) other than the inner side where the joint member 430 is provided (see Figs. 25 and 27). That is, the pair of glass panels 332·332 are assembled with each other in a state where the glass frame 334 is provided on three sides and the joint member 430 is provided on one side.

[0080] Also, in this modification example, the configuration is such that the two second rib portions 435·435 formed with the second groove portion 436 interposed therebetween are inserted into the two first groove portions 434·434 formed with the first rib portion 433 interposed therebetween. Thereby, since the first joint member 431 and the second joint member 432 can be more firmly combined, it becomes possible to hold the glass panels 332·332 more stably. Also, thereby, while forming the joint member 430 formed by the first joint member 431 and the second joint member 432 as a whole to be slim, it is possible to secure the fitting dimensions between the respective rib portions 433·435 and the groove portions 434·436.

[0081] Note that the number and shape of the protrusion portions and groove portions in the first destination member 431 and the second destination member 432 are not limited to this embodiment. For example, it is also possible to adopt a configuration in which one or a plurality of protrusion portions and groove portions are provided for each other. Further, in this modification example, the first destination member 431 and the second destination member 432 are formed in different shapes from each other, but it is also possible to make them the same shape as each other like the above-described destination members 333·333.

[0082] Further, in this modification example, as shown in FIG. 25, the length dimension of the first protrusion portion 433 in the width direction (left-right direction in FIG. 25) of the glass panel 332 is formed to be larger than the width dimension of the first protrusion portion 433 in the thickness direction (up-down direction in FIG. 25) of the glass panel 332. Thereby, since the assembling strength between the first destination member 431 and the second destination member 432 when the first protrusion portion 433 is inserted into the second groove portion 436 can be increased, it becomes possible to hold the glass panels 332·332 more stably.

[0083] As shown in FIGS. 12 and 13, the door 304 is rotatably assembled to the vertical frame member 362 via the hinge H. The door 304 is configured as a glass door in which a door glass 304b is fitted inside a door frame 304a. A handle 304c is provided on the outer surface of the door 304. A door stop frame 341 and a glass door stop panel 342 are arranged on the door tip side of the door 304. In the conference booth 301 according to the present embodiment, since the door 304 is rotatably assembled to the vertical frame member 362, the opening of the peripheral wall 303 can be opened and closed by the door 304.

[0084] As shown in FIGS. 16 and 18, in the ceiling 305 of the conference booth 301, steel first support members 381 and second support members 383 are assembled to three support frame members 365 constituting the frame member in order to support various devices provided on the ceiling 305. Two second support members 383 are provided at positions sandwiching the first support member 381.

[0085] The first support member 381 is provided with two tank portions 382a filled with a fire extinguishing agent and a sensing portion 382b that senses heat and smoke during a fire. When the sensing portion 382b senses heat or smoke, the ejection portions provided in the respective tank portions 382a automatically eject the fire extinguishing agent.

[0086] Each of the second support members 383 is provided with two lights 384 and three ventilation fans 385. The light 384 according to the present embodiment is switched on / off by a presence / absence sensor (not shown) detecting the presence or absence of a user inside the conference booth 301.

[0087] As shown in FIG. 17, according to the conference booth 301 of the present embodiment, the lights 384 and the ventilation fans 385 are configured to be assembled to the second support member 383 from below. As a result, since the lights 384 and the ventilation fans 385 can be attached / detached downward from the second support member 383, maintenance of the lights 384 and the ventilation fans 385 can be performed without removing the outer panel 351 and the canopy member 388 described later.

[0088] As shown in FIG. 16, the first support member 381 and the second support members 383·383 are covered by a canopy member 388 from above in a state where various devices are assembled.

[0089] As shown in FIGS. 16 and 18, on the outer side of each of the three ceiling frame members 364 that constitute the frame member on the ceiling 305 of the conference booth 301, a steel plate-like member 386 is assembled between the upper frame member 363. The plate-like member 386 is formed in a dish shape with a recessed inner side, and a sound-absorbing material 387 is accommodated inside the plate-like member 386. According to the present embodiment, the sound-absorbing performance of the conference booth 301 is improved by providing the sound-absorbing material 387 inside the ceiling 305.

[0090] As shown in FIGS. 14 and 18, in the conference booth 301 according to this embodiment, the ceiling 305 is configured to include a plurality of interior panels (first interior panel 352a, second interior panel 352b, and third interior panel 352c) provided on the lower surface. The interior panel in this embodiment employs a sound-absorbing panel formed by compressing a sound-absorbing material such as non-woven fabric.

[0091] As shown in FIG. 18, the first interior panel 352a located on the outer side of the ceiling 305 is formed in a trapezoidal shape. Also, the second interior panel 352b located on the outer side of the ceiling 305 is formed in a substantially square shape. Further, the third interior panel 352c located at the central portion of the ceiling 305 is formed in a substantially square shape, and holes for exposing the sensing portion 382b and the ejection portion in the fire extinguishing equipment are opened.

[0092] As shown in FIGS. 14 and 18, the edges of the first interior panel 352a and the second interior panel 352b located on the outer peripheral side of the ceiling 305 are supported by support pieces provided on the upper portion of the peripheral wall 303. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 19, an illumination frame 366 is provided along the upper frame member 363 inside the steel panel 331 at the upper inner side. The illumination frame 366 is formed by bending a plate-like member so as to open downward, and it is possible to provide an illumination 367 inside thereof.

[0093] A first support piece 366a is formed at the end of the illumination frame 366 located inside the ceiling 305. The edge portion (the edge portion located on the outer peripheral side of the ceiling 305) of the second interior panel 352b is supported by this first support piece 366a. Also, as shown in FIG. 19, the edge portion of the second interior panel 352b located inside the ceiling 305 is supported by a cover plate 389 assembled to the second support member 383.

[0094] Also, as shown in FIG. 20, a second support piece 334a extending toward the inside of the ceiling 305 is formed on the glass frame 334 located at the upper part of the glass panel 332. The edge portion (the edge portion located on the outer peripheral side of the ceiling 305) of the first interior panel 352a is supported by this second support piece 334a. Further, as shown in FIG. 20, the edge portion of the first interior panel 352a located inside the ceiling 305 is supported by a cover plate 389 assembled to the second support member 383.

[0095] As described above, in the conference booth 301 according to the present embodiment, the edge portions of the first interior panel 352a and the second interior panel 352b located on the outer peripheral side of the ceiling 305 are supported by support pieces (the first support piece 366a and the second support piece 334a) provided at the upper part of the peripheral wall 303. In this way, in the present embodiment, by supporting the first interior panel 352a and the second interior panel 352b with a simple configuration, it is possible to simply and stably configure the ceiling 305 having a large size.

[0096] Also, in the conference booth 301 according to the present embodiment, a part of the edge portions of the first interior panel 352a and the second interior panel 352b is supported by the cover plate 389. Thereby, the first interior panel 352a and the second interior panel 352b can be stably supported. Regarding the third interior panel 352c as well, the side of the second support members 383·383 is supported by the cover plates 389·389.

[0097] As shown in FIGS. 14 and 18, in the present embodiment, a number of magnets 353... are provided on the upper surfaces of the first interior panel 352a, the second interior panel 352b, and the third interior panel 352c. And these magnets 353... adsorb to the lower surfaces of the plate-like member 386, the first support member 381, and the second support members 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 the present 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.

[0098] As shown in FIG. 14, the ceiling 305 in the conference booth 301 according to the present embodiment is configured to include a plurality of (six in the present 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.

[0099] In the conference booth 301 according to the present 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 that constitute the ceiling 305 having a large size in a rotationally symmetric shape, it is possible to stabilize and simply configure the ceiling 305.

[0100] As shown in FIG. 21, 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. And 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.

[0101] When installing six outer panels 351 on the ceiling 305, as shown in Fig. 22, 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 to each other clockwise, using fixing screws. Then, as shown in Fig. 23, while inserting the concave portion 351b of the last (sixth) outer panel 351 below the convex portion 351a of the first outer panel 351, it is assembled by engaging with the fifth outer panel 351. 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.

[0102] Also, in this embodiment, the shape of the outer panel 351 is unified so that all the outer panels 351 are provided with the convex portion 351a and the concave portion 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.

[0103] Note that the ceiling 305 can also be configured by alternately arranging the outer panel 351 with convex portions 351a·351a formed on both side edges and the outer panel 351 with concave portions 351b·351b formed on both side edges. That is, a convex portion 351a is formed on the side of one outer panel 351 located on the side of the other outer panel 351, and a concave portion 351b is formed on the side of the other outer panel 351 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 convex portion 351a into the concave portion 351b.

[0104] 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 that form 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 made 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).

[0105] Also, as shown in FIGS. 22 and 23, 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 lights 384 and ventilation fans 385, etc.) can be provided inside the outer panel 351, and the outer panel 351 can be stably supported.

[0106] 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.

[0107] Also, as shown in FIG. 28, 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 (the booth region 301V shown by the virtual line in FIG. 28) 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.

[0108] 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. 28, 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 that it cannot be visually recognized from the adjacent conference booth 301, or the glass panel 332 can be temporarily or permanently made into frosted glass.

[0109] [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 there is no contradiction.

[0110] In the conference booth, it is also possible to adopt a configuration in which the interior panel is assembled to the plate-shaped member and / or the support member without using magnets, for example, a configuration in which it is engaged with the plate-shaped 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.

[0111] In the conference booth, it may be configured such that no convex or concave portions are formed on the exterior panel. Further, each exterior panel may have a shape that includes only one side forming 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.

[0112] 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.

[0113] In the conference booth, the materials constituting the peripheral wall and the door are not limited to steel panels or glass panels, and it is also possible to adopt materials such as wood or resin. Also, for these arrangement configurations, configurations other than the present embodiment can be adopted.
