[0003] [Patent Document 1] Utility Model Registration No. 3224168 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] However, the invention described in D1 uses magnets to connect the partitions, which increases the number of components of the partition and makes the partition heavier.

[0005] The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and has as its object to provide a wall connection structure, partition, and booth that are simple in structure and lightweight. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] In order to solve the above problems, the wall surface connection structure according to the present invention is, for example, a wall surface connection structure including a plurality of panels and a mounting member to which the panels are detachably attached, and a wall surface is constructed by attaching the plurality of panels to the mounting member, wherein the panels are plate-like members made of foamed resin or foamed paper, or hollow structure plates mainly composed of paper or resin, the mounting member is mainly composed of paper or resin, the panels are plate-like members having a rectangular shape when viewed along the thickness direction, and have a first plane and a second plane and planes adjacent to the first plane and the second plane, and four end surfaces, the mounting member is rod-shaped and U-shaped when viewed along the longitudinal direction, and has a bottom surface and two side surfaces provided on both sides of the bottom surface, the mounting member is provided across two panels, a first panel and a second panel, of the plurality of panels, one of the four end surfaces of the first panel and the second panel abutting the bottom surface, and the first flat surface or the second flat surface of the first panel and the second panel abutting the side surface, thereby arranging the first panel and the second panel on the same plane. Note that as another aspect of the present invention, it may be a partition or booth provided with a wall surface connection structure.

[0007] In the wall connection structure, partition, and booth according to the present invention, a rod-shaped mounting member that is U-shaped when viewed longitudinally is provided across the first and second panels. One of the four end faces of the first and second panels abuts the bottom surface of the mounting member, and the first and second flat surfaces of the first and second panels abut against two side surfaces on either side of the bottom surface of the mounting member. This allows the first and second panels to be positioned on the same plane with a simple structure, making them easy to attach and detach.

[0008] Furthermore, by using a plate-shaped member made of foamed resin or paper foam, or a hollow structure plate whose main component is paper or resin, the panel can be made lightweight and have thermal insulation properties. Therefore, the insulating effect allows evacuees to live comfortably even in cold weather. Furthermore, since the mounting members are mainly made of paper or resin, they are lightweight.

[0009] The panel may include a second mounting member to which the panel is detachably attached, the second mounting member being rod-shaped and H-shaped when viewed along the longitudinal direction, and having a second bottom surface and two second side surfaces on either side of the second bottom surface, the second mounting member being provided across two of the plurality of panels, a third panel and a fourth panel, one of the four end surfaces of the third panel and one of the four end surfaces of the fourth panel abutting the second bottom surface so as to sandwich the second bottom surface therebetween, and the first flat surface or the second flat surface of the third panel and the fourth panel abutting the second side surface, thereby arranging the third panel and the fourth panel on the same plane. This allows for the construction of a wall surface of any size.

[0010] The panel may include a third mounting member to which the panel is detachably attached, the third mounting member being rod-shaped and having the bottom surface, the two side surfaces, a third bottom surface substantially perpendicular to the bottom surface, and a third side surface provided on the bottom surface, the third mounting member being provided across a fifth panel and a sixth panel that are two of the plurality of panels, the bottom surface abutting one of the four end surfaces of the fifth panel, the side surface abutting the first flat surface or the second flat surface of the fifth panel, the third bottom surface abutting one of the four end surfaces of the sixth panel, and the third side surface abutting the first flat surface or the second flat surface of the sixth panel, thereby arranging the fifth panel and the sixth panel in an L-shape. This allows for the construction of a wall surface of any size and shape.

[0011] The second mounting member may be formed by combining two of the mounting members. Also, the third mounting member may be formed by combining two of the mounting members. This allows mounting members of various shapes to be formed without increasing the number of parts. As a result, it is possible to form walls, partitions, and booths of various shapes without increasing the number of parts.

[0012] The fourth mounting member may be a rod-shaped fourth mounting member made primarily of paper or resin, and may have an L-shape when viewed along the longitudinal direction. The fourth mounting member may have a first surface and a second surface that are two substantially perpendicular surfaces, and the first surface and the second surface may each be provided on the bottom surface. This allows for easy formation of a wall surface with panels connected in an L-shape. It also allows for easy assembly of a booth surrounded by panels. It also allows for easy laying of panels in the space formed inside the booth.

[0013] The first and second flat surfaces may have grooves that are substantially parallel to any one of the four end surfaces, and when the mounting member is attached to the panel, the tips of the side surfaces may be positioned along the grooves, which makes it easy to attach the mounting member to the panel. [Effects of the Invention]

[0014] To provide a wall surface connection structure, a partition, and a booth that are simple in structure and lightweight. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0016] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The wall surface connection structure of the present invention comprises a plurality of panels and mounting members, and a wall surface is constructed by detachably attaching the panels to the mounting members. Furthermore, a partition or booth can be provided using the wall surface constructed using the wall surface connection structure of the present invention.

[0017] First Embodiment 1 is a perspective view showing an outline of a partition 1 according to a first embodiment of the present invention. The partition 1 mainly comprises a panel 10, a leg member 21, and mounting members 22, 23, and 24. In the partition 1, the wall surface is formed by providing the leg member 21 and the mounting members 22, 23, and 24 to the panel 10.

[0018] FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an outline of panel 10, where (A) is a front view, (B) is a side view, and (C) is an AA cross-sectional view of (A). Panel 10 is a plate-like member that is rectangular when viewed along the thickness direction. Panel 10 has a plane 10a (corresponding to the first plane of the present invention), a plane 10b (corresponding to the second plane of the present invention), and four end faces 10c, 10d, 10e, and 10f (corresponding to the end faces of the present invention). End faces 10c, 10d, 10e, and 10f are adjacent to plane 10a and plane 10b, respectively.

[0019] The panel 10 is a plate-like member formed using a paper foam made from paper. The paper foam may be made from paper alone, or from a mixture of paper and starch, etc., as long as its main component is paper. In this embodiment, the panel 10 is manufactured using a paper foam, which is a molded product made by mixing paper powder and starch with a binder (e.g., polyolefin resin), and foaming the mixture using the vapor pressure of water.

[0020] As shown in Figure 2(C), the panel 10 is constructed in a plate shape by stacking multiple rod-shaped paper foams 11 and 12. The paper foam 11 located in the center has a rectangular cross section, while the paper foams 12 located at the top and bottom ends, i.e., constituting the planes 10a and 10b, have triangular cross sections. There are minute spaces inside the paper foams 11 and 12, and there are also minute spaces between adjacent paper foams 11 and 12, so the panel 10 can easily deform when an external force is applied to it.

[0021] Furthermore, since there are many tiny spaces inside the panel 10, the panel 10 has insulating properties. By arranging the panel 10 along the wall surface of a building or the like, it is possible to prevent heat transfer between the interior space and the wall surface. Furthermore, by placing the panel 10 alone on the floor surface of a building or the like, it is possible to slow the transfer of cold air and heat from under the floor, thereby preventing the interior space separated by the partition 1 from becoming too hot or too cold.

[0022] In order to form a wall surface with a small number of panels 10, it is preferable that the panels 10 have a width of approximately 900 mm and a height of approximately 570 mm. In addition, in consideration of heat insulation, it is desirable that the thickness of the panels 10 be approximately 20 mm. However, the size of the panels 10 is not limited to this.

[0023] As shown in FIG. 2(A), grooves 10g are formed in the planes 10a and 10b. The grooves 10g are gaps between adjacent paper foams 12. The grooves 10g are aligned with the extension direction of the paper foams 11 and 12. Because the extension direction of the paper foams 11 and 12 is approximately parallel to the end faces 10e and 10f, the grooves 10g are also approximately parallel to the end faces 10e and 10f. Note that the grooves 10g are not limited to being approximately parallel to the end faces 10e and 10f, and may be approximately parallel to any of the four end faces 10c, 10d, 10e, and 10f.

[0024] Returning to the explanation of Figure 1, the bottom panel 10 is attached to leg member 21 and mounting member 23. The central panel 10 (not the bottom or top) is attached to mounting members 22 and 24. Multiple panels 10 are connected by the mounting members 22 and 24. The top panel 10 is attached to mounting member 23.

[0025] 3(A) is a plan view showing an outline of leg member 21, FIG. 3(B) is a perspective view showing an outline of mounting member 22, and FIG. 3(C) is a perspective view showing an outline of mounting member 23.

[0026] The leg member 21 is plate-shaped and mainly made of paper or resin. The mounting members 22 and 23 are rod-shaped and mainly made of paper or resin. Therefore, the leg member 21 and the mounting members 22 and 23 are lightweight.

[0027] Mounting members 22 and 23 have a U-shape when viewed along the longitudinal direction, in other words, a U-shaped cross section in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction (U-shaped cross section). Mounting member 22 has a bottom surface 22a and two side surfaces 22b and 22c provided on both sides of bottom surface 22a. Mounting member 23 has a bottom surface 23a and two side surfaces 23b and 23c provided on both sides of bottom surface 23a. The only difference between mounting members 22 and 23 is their length (longitudinal dimension).

[0028] A pair of hook-and-loop fasteners 51a, 51b are provided on each of the bottom surface 23a and the leg member 21. The leg member 21 is attached to the bottom surface 23a by the hook-and-loop fasteners. Note that the method for attaching the leg member 21 to the bottom surface 23a is not limited to the hook-and-loop fasteners, and may be, for example, double-sided tape.

[0029] 4A and 4B are diagrams showing an outline of the mounting member 24, with (A) being a perspective view and (B) being a view seen along the longitudinal direction. The mounting member 24 is rod-shaped and is primarily composed of paper or resin. Therefore, the mounting member 24 is lightweight.

[0030] The mounting member 24 has an H-shape when viewed along the longitudinal direction, in other words, its cross section in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction is H-shaped (H-shaped cross section). The mounting member 24 is formed by connecting two mounting members 22 back to back. The two mounting members 22 are attached with hook-and-loop fasteners, double-sided tape, etc.

[0031] The bottom surfaces 22a of the two mounting members 22 abut against each other to form a bottom surface 24a (corresponding to a second bottom surface of the present invention) of the mounting member 24. The side surface 22b of one mounting member 22 and the side surface 22c of the other mounting member 22 form side surfaces 24b, 24c (corresponding to a second side surface of the present invention) of the mounting member 24.

[0032] In this embodiment, the mounting members 22, 23, and 24 are made of a material in which layers of paper are compressed and glued together. Therefore, the mounting members 22, 23, and 24 are more durable than those made of resin. Furthermore, the mounting members 22, 23, and 24 are strong despite being made of paper.

[0033] 5 is a diagram showing a state in which the mounting member 22 is attached to the panel 10, where (A) is a view along the longitudinal direction of the mounting member 22 and (B) is a view as viewed along arrow B in (A) (a partially enlarged view). The bottom surface 22a abuts against the end surface 10e of the panel 10, the side surface 22b abuts against the flat surface 10a of the panel 10, and the side surface 22c abuts against the flat surface 10b of the panel 10. The panel 10 is pressed and slightly deformed when the mounting member 22 is attached, and the force that tries to return this deformation to its original state firmly secures the panel 10 to the mounting member 22.

[0034] When the mounting member 22 is attached to the panel 10, the tips 22d of the side surfaces 22b and 22c are positioned along the groove 10g. This makes it easier to attach the mounting member 22 to the panel 10.

[0035] 1, the mounting member 22 is provided across two panels 10. For example, the mounting member 22 is provided across the top panel 10-1 (corresponding to the first panel of the present invention) and the second-highest panel 10-2 (corresponding to the second panel of the present invention), and across the second-highest panel 10-2 (corresponding to the first panel of the present invention) and the bottom panel 10-3 (corresponding to the second panel of the present invention).

[0036] The mounting member 22 connecting the panels 10-1 and 10-2 has a bottom surface 22a abutting against the end surfaces 10e (see FIG. 2) of the panels 10-1 and 10-2, a side surface 22b abutting against the flat surfaces 10a of the panels 10-1 and 10-2, and a side surface 22c abutting against the flat surfaces 10b of the panels 10-1 and 10-2. This positions the panels 10-1 and 10-2 on the same plane. Similarly, the panels 10-2 and 10-3 are positioned on the same plane.

[0037] Unlike mounting member 22, mounting member 23 is provided on only one panel 10, but since the method of mounting member 23 to panel 10 is the same as that of mounting member 22, an explanation of the method of mounting member 23 to panel 10 will be omitted.

[0038] 6 is a diagram schematically illustrating the state in which the mounting member 24 is attached to the panel 10, as viewed along the longitudinal direction of the mounting member 24. The mounting member 24 is attached across two panels 10. For example, the mounting member 24 is attached across the top panel 10-1 (corresponding to the third panel of the present invention) and the second-highest panel 10-2 (corresponding to the fourth panel of the present invention).

[0039] End face 10d of panel 10-1 and end face 10c of panel 10-2 abut against bottom face 24a, sandwiching bottom face 24a therebetween. Furthermore, flat faces 10a of panels 10-1 and 10-2 abut against side faces 24b, and flat faces 10b of panels 10-1 and 10-2 abut against side faces 24c. In this way, mounting member 24 positions panels 10-1 and 10-2 on the same plane. Similarly, mounting member 24 positions panels 10-2 and 10-3 on the same plane.

[0040] The panel 10 is pressed and slightly deformed by the attachment of the attachment member 24, and the force that tries to return this deformation to its original state firmly fixes the panel 10 to the attachment member 24.

[0041] According to this embodiment, partition 1 can be provided using a wall constructed with a wall surface connection structure including panel 10 and mounting members 22, 23, and 24. Furthermore, mounting members 22, 23, and 24 can be attached to panel 10 simply by inserting them into panel 10, making it easy to attach and detach the panel.

[0042] Furthermore, according to this embodiment, the panel 10 is formed using a paper foam, and the mounting members 22, 23, 24 are made of paper or resin, which allows for light weight of the panel 10 and the mounting members 22, 23, 24. This makes it easy to assemble and disassemble the wall surface.

[0043] Furthermore, according to this embodiment, the mounting members 22, 23 have a U-shaped cross section, and the mounting member 24 has an H-shaped cross section formed by combining two U-shaped cross sections, and since the plate-shaped panel 10 can be inserted into the hollow portion of the mounting members 22, 23, 24, the mounting of the panel 10 to the mounting members 22, 23, 24 is easy.

[0044] Furthermore, according to this embodiment, the structure is simple, consisting of only the plate-like panel 10, the leg member 21, and the mounting members 22, 23, 24, so that it is easy to store and does not take up much space when stored.

[0045] Furthermore, according to this embodiment, the length of the mounting member 22 is short, so that the panel 10 can be easily attached and detached, and the partition 1 can be easily assembled.

[0046] In this embodiment, the partition 1 is constructed using a wall surface constructed with a wall surface connection structure including the panel 10 and the mounting members 22, 23, and 24, but the mounting members 23 and 24 are not required. The wall surface can be constructed with a wall surface connection structure including only the panel 10 and the mounting member 22.

[0047] Furthermore, in this embodiment, short rod-shaped mounting members 22, 23, 24 are used, but the length of mounting members 22, 23, 24 is not limited to this. Fig. 7 is a diagram showing an outline of a partition 1A according to a modified example. Partition 1A is installed using a wall surface constructed with a wall surface connection structure including panel 10 and mounting members 25, 26.

[0048] Mounting member 25 is different in length from mounting member 22, but is otherwise identical to mounting member 22. Mounting member 26 differs from mounting member 24 only in length, and can be formed by combining two mounting members 25 by adhering them together using hook-and-loop fasteners, double-sided tape, or the like.

[0049] For example, if the width of panel 10 is 900 mm, the height is 570 mm, and the length of mounting members 25, 26 is 850 mm, when a wall surface is constructed using panel 10 and mounting members 25, 26, mounting members 25, 26 can cover almost the entire end face of panel 10.

[0050] Furthermore, while Partition 1 uses three types of mounting members 22, 23, and 24, Partition 1A requires only two types of mounting members 25 and 26, thereby reducing the number of parts. Note that mounting member 26 is not essential, and in this case, a wall connection structure can be created in which the wall can be constructed using only one type of mounting member 22.

[0051] 8 is a diagram showing an outline of a partition 1B according to a modified example. The partition 1B is provided using a wall surface constructed by a wall surface connection structure including a panel 10 and a mounting member 27.

[0052] Mounting member 27 has a different length from mounting member 22, but is otherwise identical to mounting member 22. For example, if panel 10 is 900 mm wide and 600 mm high and mounting member 27 is 1200 mm long, panel 10 can be connected with only a pair of mounting members 27, thereby reducing the number of parts. Note that hook-and-loop fastener 51a may be provided near the lower end of the bottom surface of mounting member 27, and leg member 21 may be attached to mounting member 27 using hook-and-loop fastener 51b.

[0053] In addition, in the present embodiment, the mounting member 24 is formed by combining two mounting members 22, but the form of the mounting member 24 is not limited to this. Figure 9 shows an outline of a mounting member 24A according to a modified example, where (A) is a perspective view and (B) is a view seen along the longitudinal direction. Like the mounting member 24, the mounting member 24A is rod-shaped and made of paper or resin.

[0054] Mounting member 24A has a bottom surface 24d (corresponding to the second bottom surface of the present invention) and side surfaces 24e and 24f (corresponding to the second side surfaces of the present invention) provided on both sides of bottom surface 24d. Mounting member 24A is not a combination of two mounting members 22, but is integrally molded by extrusion molding, injection molding, or the like to have an H-shaped cross section. Therefore, side surfaces 24e and 24f are each made of a single plate.

[0055] In addition, in the present embodiment, panel 10 is formed using paper foam, but the material of panel 10 is not limited to this. Figures 10(A) to 10(D) are diagrams showing outlines of panels 10A, 10B, 10C, and 10D according to modified examples. Figure 10 shows a schematic cross-sectional shape when cut along the thickness direction of the panel.

[0056] As shown in Fig. 10(A), the panel 10A may be a plate-shaped member made of foamed resin. Foamed resin is a resin molded into a foamed or porous shape by dispersing fine bubbles in a synthetic resin, such as expanded polystyrene (EPS), foamed polypropylene, foamed polyethylene, or foamed urethane. The panel 10A has many minute spaces inside, which gives the panel 10A heat insulation properties.

[0057] 10(B) to 10(D) are schematic diagrams illustrating examples of panels 10B, 10C, and 10D using hollow-structure boards. Panel 10B shown in FIG. 10(B) is a hollow-structure board formed by sandwiching an air layer with a rectangular cross section between two thin resin (e.g., polycarbonate (PC)) plates. Panel 10C shown in FIG. 10(C) is a hollow-structure board having a honeycomb-structured air layer between two thin resin (e.g., polycarbonate) plates. Panel 10D shown in FIG. 10(D) is a hollow-structure board formed by laminating plate-like members in which thin plates are attached to both sides of a fluted air layer. Panel 10D may be made of either resin (e.g., polypropylene (PP)) or paper. Panels 10B, 10C, and 10D have heat insulating properties due to the air layer inside.

[0058] <Second embodiment> A booth 2 according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. Note that the same parts as those in the partitions 1, 1A, and 1B are given the same reference numerals, and descriptions thereof will be omitted.

[0059] 11 is a perspective view showing an outline of the booth 2. The booth 2 mainly has a panel 10 and mounting members 28 and 29. In the booth 2, the wall surfaces are formed by providing the mounting members 28 and 29 to the panel 10.

[0060] 12 is a diagram schematically illustrating a state in which the mounting member 28 is attached to the panel 10, with (A) being a diagram of the panel 10 as viewed from the front (a diagram visualizing the plane 10a), and (B) being a diagram as viewed along the longitudinal direction of the mounting member 28. The mounting member 28 is attached across two panels 10 arranged side by side. For example, the mounting member 28 is attached across the top panel 10-1 (corresponding to the third panel of the present invention) and the panel 10-3 (corresponding to the fourth panel of the present invention) located to the right of the panel 10-1, and also across the panel 10-2 (corresponding to the third panel of the present invention) and the panel 10-4 (corresponding to the fourth panel of the present invention) located to the right of the panel 10-1.

[0061] The mounting member 28 is formed by connecting two mounting members 27. The mounting member 28 has a different length than the mounting member 24. The two mounting members 27 are attached using hook-and-loop fasteners, double-sided tape, or the like. The mounting member 28 has a bottom surface 28a and side surfaces 28b and 28c on either side of the bottom surface 28a. The end surface 10f of the panel 10-1 and the end surface 10e of the panel 10-3 abut against the bottom surface 28a, sandwiching the bottom surface 28a therebetween. Furthermore, the flat surfaces 10a of the panels 10-1 and 10-3 abut against the side surfaces 28b, and the flat surfaces 10b of the panels 10-1 and 10-3 abut against the side surfaces 28c. In this way, the mounting member 28 positions the panels 10-1 and 10-3 on the same plane.

[0062] 13A and 13B are diagrams showing a state in which the mounting member 29 is attached to the panel 10, where (A) is a perspective view including the entire mounting member 29 and (B) is a view seen along the longitudinal direction of the mounting member 29. The mounting member 29 is attached across two panels 10 arranged side by side in the left-right direction, and connects the panels 10 in an L-shape.

[0063] Mounting member 29 (corresponding to the third mounting member of the present invention) is rod-shaped and is mainly composed of paper or resin. Similar to mounting member 22, mounting member 29 is made of a material in which paper is laminated, compressed, and glued. Therefore, mounting member 29 is strong and lightweight despite being made of paper.

[0064] Mounting member 29 is formed by connecting two mounting members 27. The two mounting members 29 are attached with hook-and-loop fasteners, double-sided tape, or the like. In mounting member 29, a bottom surface 27a (corresponding to the bottom surface of the present invention) of one mounting member 27 (mounting member 27-2 in FIG. 13) is provided with a side surface 27b (corresponding to the third side surface of the present invention) of the other mounting member 27 (mounting member 27-1 in FIG. 13). The bottom surface (corresponding to the third bottom surface of the present invention) of mounting member 27-1 is approximately perpendicular to bottom surface 27a of mounting member 27-2.

[0065] The mounting member 29 is provided across the panel 10-5 (corresponding to the fifth panel of the present invention) and the panel 10-7 (corresponding to the sixth panel of the present invention), and is also provided across the panel 10-6 (corresponding to the fifth panel of the present invention) and the panel 10-8 (corresponding to the sixth panel of the present invention). As shown in FIG. 13(B), the bottom surface 27a of the mounting member 27-1 abuts against the end surface 10e of the panel 10-5, the side surface 27b abuts against the flat surface 10a of the panel 10-5, and the side surface 27c abuts against the flat surface 10b of the panel 10-5. The bottom surface 27a of the mounting member 27-2 abuts against the end surface 10e of the panel 10-7, the side surface 27b abuts against the flat surface 10a of the panel 10-7, and the side surface 27c abuts against the flat surface 10b of the panel 10-7. This positions the panels 10-5 and 10-7 in an L-shape. Similarly, the panels 10-6 and 10-8 are arranged in an L-shape.

[0066] According to this embodiment, the booth 2 can be easily assembled using walls constructed with a wall connection structure including the panels 10 and the mounting members 28, 29. Therefore, when using the booth as an evacuation shelter or the like, the number of panels 10 can be set according to the area, and a booth 2 of the desired size and shape can be created.

[0067] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the panels 10 are attached in an L-shape using the mounting members 29, but the method for attaching the panels 10 in an L-shape is not limited to this. A mounting member in which three or more mounting members 22, 25 are combined by attaching them using hook-and-loop fasteners, double-sided tape, or the like may also be used. Fig. 14(A) is a diagram showing an outline of a mounting member 32 in which three mounting members 22 are combined, and Fig. 14(B) is a diagram showing an outline of a mounting member 33 in which four mounting members 22 are combined. Using the mounting members 32, the panels 10 can be connected in an L-shape, and using the mounting members 33, the panels 10 can be connected in a cross shape.

[0068] <Third embodiment> A booth 3 according to a third embodiment of the present invention will be described. Note that the same parts as those in the partitions 1, 1A, 1B or booth 2 are given the same reference numerals, and description thereof will be omitted.

[0069] 15 is a perspective view showing an outline of the booth 3. The booth 3 mainly has a panel 10 and mounting members 27A and 28. In the booth 2, the wall surfaces are formed by providing the mounting members 27A and 28 to the panel 10.

[0070] 16 is a diagram showing an outline of mounting member 27A, where (A) is a perspective view and (B) is a view viewed along the longitudinal direction. Mounting member 27A is rod-shaped and lightweight because it is primarily composed of paper or resin. Mounting member 27A has a U-shape (U-shaped cross section) when viewed along the longitudinal direction. Mounting member 27A has a bottom surface 27a and two side surfaces 27c and 27d provided on both sides of bottom surface 27a.

[0071] The widths of side surfaces 27c and 27d are each wider than the width of bottom surface 27a. The width of side surface 27d is also wider than the width of side surface 27c. For example, the width w1 of bottom surface 27a is 20 mm, the width w2 of side surface 27c is 35 mm, and the width w3 of side surface 27d is 45 mm.

[0072] 17 is a diagram showing the state in which mounting members 27A are attached to panel 10. The mounting members 27A are each attached to an edge of panel 10. In the example shown in FIG. 17, the bottom surface 27a of mounting member 27A-1 abuts against end surface 10f of panel 10-9, the side surface 27d of mounting member 27A-1 abuts against flat surface 10a of panel 10-9, and the side surface 27c of mounting member 27A-1 abuts against flat surface 10b of panel 10-9. In addition, the bottom surface 27a of mounting member 27A-2 abuts against end surface 10e of panel 10-11, the side surface 27d of mounting member 27A-2 abuts against flat surface 10b of panel 10-11, and the side surface 27c of mounting member 27A-2 abuts against flat surface 10a of panel 10-11.

[0073] Two adjacent mounting members 27A-1 and 27A-2 are provided with a pair of hook-and-loop fasteners 52a and 52b. The hook-and-loop fasteners 52a and 52b are provided on the outer surface of the mounting member 27A (the surface onto which the panel 10 is not inserted). The hook-and-loop fasteners 52a and 52b allow the mounting member 27A-2 to be attached to the mounting member 27A-1.

[0074] 17, bottom surface 27a of mounting member 27A-1 is in contact with side surface 27d of mounting member 27A-2. Since width w3 of side surface 27d is wider than width w1 of bottom surface 27a (for example, width w3 of side surface 27d is at least twice width w1 of bottom surface 27a), the entire bottom surface 27a is in contact with side surface 27d, making it easy to mount mounting member 27A-1 to mounting member 27A-2.

[0075] According to this embodiment, the booth 3 can be easily assembled using walls constructed with a wall connection structure including the panels 10 and the mounting members 27A and 28. Therefore, when used as an evacuation shelter or the like, the number of panels 10 can be set according to the area, and a booth 3 of the desired size and shape can be created. Note that the mounting member 28 is not essential, and depending on the number of panels 10, the booth can be assembled using only the mounting member 27A.

[0076] In this embodiment, the two mounting members 27A are attached using hook-and-loop fasteners 52a and 53b, but the method of attaching the two mounting members 27A is not limited to this, and the two mounting members 27A may also be attached using, for example, double-sided tape.

[0077] <Fourth embodiment> A booth 4 according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described. Note that the same parts as those in the partitions 1, 1A, 1B or booths 2, 3 are given the same reference numerals, and description thereof will be omitted.

[0078] 18 is a perspective view showing an outline of the booth 4. The booth 4 mainly has a panel 10 and mounting members 27, 28, and 30. In the booth 2, the wall surfaces are formed by providing the mounting members 27, 28, and 30 to the panel 10.

[0079] FIG. 19(A) is a perspective view showing an outline of the mounting member 30, and FIG. 19(B) is a diagram showing a schematic view of how the mounting member 30 is used to connect the panels 10. As shown in FIG.

[0080] The mounting member 30 (corresponding to the fourth mounting member of the present invention) is rod-shaped and primarily composed of paper or resin. Similar to the mounting member 22, the mounting member 30 is formed using a material in which paper sheets are laminated, compressed, and glued together. Therefore, the mounting member 30 is strong and lightweight despite being made of paper. The mounting member 30 has an L-shape when viewed along the longitudinal direction, and has two plate-like portions 30c and 30d that intersect at approximately right angles. The outer surface of the plate-like portion 30c is surface 30a (corresponding to the first surface of the present invention), and the outer surface of the plate-like portion 30d is surface 30b (corresponding to the second surface of the present invention). Surfaces 30a and 30b intersect at approximately right angles. The width of the plate-like portions 30c and 30d (surfaces 30a and 30b) need only be equal to or greater than the width of the bottom surface 27a.

[0081] The surfaces 30a and 30b are provided with hook-and-loop fasteners 53a. The hook-and-loop fasteners 53a are provided on the outer surfaces of the surfaces 30a and 30b.

[0082] The mounting member 27 is provided with a hook-and-loop fastener 53b that pairs with the hook-and-loop fastener 53a. The hook-and-loop fastener 53b is provided on the outer surface of the mounting member 27 (the surface onto which the panel 10 is not inserted). The mounting member 30 can be attached to the mounting member 27 by the hook-and-loop fasteners 53a and 53b.

[0083] The surfaces 30a and 30b are provided on the bottom surfaces 27a of the adjacent mounting members 27, so that the panel 10 is mounted in an L-shape.

[0084] According to this embodiment, the booth 4 can be easily assembled using walls constructed with a wall connection structure including the panels 10 and the mounting members 27, 28, and 30. Therefore, when used as an evacuation shelter or the like, the number of panels 10 can be set according to the area, and a booth 4 of the desired size and shape can be created. Note that the mounting member 28 is not essential, and depending on the number of panels 10, the booth can be assembled using only the mounting members 27 and 30.

[0085] In this embodiment, mounting member 27 is provided on panel 10, but mounting member 27A may also be provided on panel 10. In this case, hook-and-loop fastener 53b may be provided on mounting member 27A. Also, in this embodiment, mounting member 27 is attached to mounting member 30 using hook-and-loop fasteners 53a and 53b, but the method of attaching mounting member 27 to mounting member 30 is not limited to this, and mounting member 27 may also be attached to mounting member 30 using double-sided tape, for example.

[0086] <Fifth embodiment> A partition 5 according to a fifth embodiment of the present invention will be described. Note that the same parts as those in the partitions 1, 1A, and 1B or the booths 2, 3, and 4 are given the same reference numerals, and descriptions thereof will be omitted.

[0087] 20 is a perspective view showing an outline of the partition 5. The partition 5 mainly comprises a panel 10, a box 15, and a mounting member 30. In the partition 5, the wall surface is formed by providing the mounting member 30 to the box 15.

[0088] Box 15 is large enough to fit one or more panels 10 inside. Box 15 is provided with an openable and closable lid 15a, and by opening lid 15a, panels 10 are inserted into box 15 or removed from box 15. Note that lid 15a and the manner in which lid 15a is fixed are not limited to the manner shown in the figures.

[0089] In this embodiment, two panels 10 are provided inside the box 15. The two panels 10 may be connected using a mounting member 22.

[0090] Box 15 has end faces 15b and 15c. End faces 15b and 15c are each provided with a hook-and-loop fastener 53b (not shown in FIG. 19), and end faces 15b and 15c are attached to surfaces 30a and 30b (see FIG. 19) by hook-and-loop fasteners 53a and 53b, respectively.

[0091] According to this embodiment, the partition 5 can be easily assembled using the box 15 and the mounting members 30. Also, a booth can be assembled by increasing the number of boxes 15 and mounting members 30. Furthermore, while the partition 5 or the like is being constructed using the box 15 and the mounting members 34, the panel 10 can be removed from the box 15 and laid on the floor.

[0092] Furthermore, according to this embodiment, the size of the box 15 is set to approximately 900 mm wide and 1200 mm high, which is a size that allows for two panels 10, each approximately 900 mm wide and 600 mm high, to be installed, thereby making it possible to create a partition 5 of sufficient height without stacking boxes 15 vertically. With the height of the partition 5 being approximately 1200 mm, privacy can be protected even in evacuation shelters, etc.

[0093] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above in detail with reference to the drawings, the specific configurations are not limited to these embodiments, and design modifications within the scope of the gist of the present invention are also included. For example, the above examples have been described in detail to clearly explain the present invention, and the present invention is not necessarily limited to those including all of the described configurations. Furthermore, it is possible to replace part of the configuration of one embodiment with the configuration of another embodiment, and it is also possible to add, delete, or replace other configurations to the configuration of one embodiment.

[0094] In the present invention, the term "approximately" is not limited to cases where the shape is strictly identical, but also includes errors or deformations to the extent that the identity is not lost. For example, "approximately cylindrical shape" is not limited to cases where the shape is strictly cylindrical. Furthermore, for example, when simply expressing "approximately center" or the like, it includes not only the case where the shape is strictly center, but also the case where the shape is approximately center.

[0095] Furthermore, "vicinity" means including a certain range (which can be arbitrarily determined) near a reference position. For example, "near an edge" is a concept that indicates a certain range near the edge, which may or may not include the edge. [Explanation of symbols]
