Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a partition wall for separating a section of a building. [Background technology]

[0002] A partition wall structure described in Patent Document 1 is known as a conventional partition wall. The partition wall structure includes upper and lower runners with a U-shaped cross section, square studs on square pipes with a square cross section, and a plate-shaped face material. The upper runner is configured to be attached to the ceiling surface of a building, which is the attachment side, and the lower runner is configured to be attached to the floor surface of the building, which is the attachment side. Each runner is formed with a through-hole that also serves as an attachment hole for attachment to the attachment side. The upper runner also has a hole formed therein for passing electrical wiring.

[0003] In a partition wall structure configured as described above, each runner is positioned relative to the mounting side by marking the mounting line and aligning the through holes with the marking line, and then each runner is attached to the mounting side by driving screws into the through holes. The partition wall is then completed by installing square studs on the runners and attaching face plates to the square studs. Furthermore, holes can be drilled in the ceiling surface to align with the holes in the upper runners, allowing electrical wiring to be routed from the ceiling surface into the partition wall.

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2001-173134 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] Incidentally, there are cases where the building's framework forms the ceiling surface, resulting in a vertical ceiling in which partition walls are installed directly on the ceiling surface. In such cases, it is not possible to drill holes in the ceiling surface, and wiring must be routed along the ceiling surface. This also applies to double-layered ceilings where wiring cannot be routed between the framework and the ceiling surface, for example, when a filler such as glass wool is placed between the framework and the ceiling surface. However, in the partition wall structure described in Patent Document 1, corner studs are erected inside the partition wall, making it difficult to route wiring inside the partition wall along the extension direction of the partition wall.

[0006] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a partition wall that allows easy wiring. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] The partition wall of the present invention comprises a plurality of vertical shaft portions erected on the main building body that forms one section of the building, a pair of plate-shaped wall bodies attached to the vertical shaft portions, and a tubular pipe portion through which wiring can be inserted, wherein the plurality of vertical shaft portions are erected side by side in the extension direction of the partition wall, which is perpendicular to the vertical direction, and the wall bodies are arranged on one side and the other side of the vertical shaft portions in the wall thickness direction, which is perpendicular to the vertical direction and the extension direction, and the pipe portions are arranged so that their axial direction coincides with the extension direction and so as to overlap with the plurality of vertical shaft portions in the vertical direction, and the pipe portions face each of the pair of wall bodies in the wall thickness direction and are arranged at different positions in the vertical direction from the vertical shaft portions.

[0008] With this configuration, the pipe portion extending in the extension direction is disposed inside the partition wall, making it easy to pass wiring inside the partition wall, and since the pipe portion is disposed at a different position in the up-down direction from the vertical axis portion and faces each of the pair of wall bodies in the wall thickness direction, it is easy to pass wiring on both sides of the partition wall in the wall thickness direction. Thus, a partition wall that is easy to wire can be obtained.

[0009] The building body may also be configured to include a ceiling portion that forms the ceiling surface of one section of the building, and a floor portion that forms the floor surface of one section of the building, the pipe portion being fixed to one of the ceiling portion and the floor portion, and the multiple vertical shaft portions being configured so that one end is fixed to the other of the ceiling portion and the floor portion and the other end is fixed to the pipe portion.

[0010] With this configuration, the pipe section is fixed to either the ceiling section or the floor section, making it easier to run wiring along either the ceiling section or the floor section, thereby providing a partition wall that makes it easier to run wiring along the ceiling section or the floor section.

[0011] Furthermore, the building main body may comprise a ceiling portion that forms the ceiling surface of one section of the building, and a floor portion that forms the floor surface of one section of the building, the vertical shaft portion may comprise an upper shaft portion that forms the upper end of the vertical shaft portion, and a lower shaft portion that forms the lower end of the vertical shaft portion, the upper shaft portion and the lower shaft portion being separate bodies, the upper end of the upper shaft portion being fixed to the ceiling portion, and the lower end of the lower shaft portion being fixed to the floor portion, the pipe portion being arranged between the lower end of the upper shaft portion and the upper end of the lower shaft portion, and may be configured to connect the upper shaft portion and the lower shaft portion in the vertical direction.

[0012] With this configuration, the pipe section is installed between the upper and lower shaft sections, making it easier to route wiring away from the ceiling and floor sections, thereby providing a partition wall with improved wiring flexibility.

[0013] The tube portion may also be configured so that a plurality of tube portions are arranged at intervals in the extension direction.

[0014] With this configuration, the wiring can be routed between the pipes in the radially outward direction, making it possible to route the wiring inside the partition wall without processing the pipes. Therefore, since the wiring can be easily routed out of the pipes, it is possible to obtain a partition wall that makes it easy to route wiring inside the partition wall and to route wiring outside the partition wall.

[0015] The tube may also be a square stud.

[0016] With this configuration, the pipe section can be constructed using general-purpose building materials. [Effects of the Invention]

[0017] According to the present invention, a partition wall that allows easy wiring can be obtained. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0019] A partition wall 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figures 1 to 5. For convenience of explanation, the vertical direction, extension direction, and thickness direction will be described based on the directions shown in Figure 1.

[0020] As shown in Figure 1, a partition wall 1 is a wall body installed within a large section, which is a section formed by a building main body 9 that constitutes a building, and divides the large section into a plurality of small sections. First, the building main body 9 on which the partition wall 1 is installed will be described.

[0021] The building main body 9 comprises a floor surface portion 91 that forms the floor surface 91a of the large section, a ceiling portion 92 that forms the ceiling surface 92a of the large section, and side wall portions (not shown) that extend vertically from the ceiling to the floor of the large section. In this embodiment, the floor surface portion 91, the ceiling portion 92, and the side wall portions are all constructed using materials that have non-combustible properties (for example, non-combustible materials, semi-non-combustible materials, or flame-retardant materials), and the entire building has a fire-resistant structure. In addition, the building main body 9 in this embodiment is made of wood.

[0022] 1 and 3, the floor surface portion 91 includes horizontally extending plate-like floor panels 93. The floor panels 93 are plate-like bodies that form part of the building's framework, and are made of, for example, a non-combustible material. The floor surface portion 91 of this embodiment is a direct floor in which the upper surfaces of the floor panels 93 form the floor surface 91a (finished surface).

[0023] 1 and 2, the ceiling section 92 includes a ceiling body section 94 extending horizontally, a ceiling support section 95 installed on the underside of the ceiling body section 94, a horizontally extending plate-like ceiling board section 96 supported by the ceiling support section 95, and a filler material 97 filled between the ceiling body section 94 and the ceiling board section 96. The ceiling section 92 of this embodiment is a double ceiling in which the ceiling board section 96 is positioned below and spaced apart from the ceiling body section 94.

[0024] The ceiling skeleton 94 is a part that constitutes part of the skeleton of the building main body 9, and specifically, is a ceiling slab or a beam. The ceiling support 95 is provided to extend downward from the ceiling skeleton 94. Specifically, the ceiling support 95 is a joist that is connected to the ceiling skeleton 94, or a hanging metal fitting that is suspended downward from the ceiling skeleton 94.

[0025] The ceiling board portion 96 is a plate-like body supported by the ceiling support portion 95, and is made of, for example, a non-flammable material. In this embodiment, the ceiling board portion 96 is made by stacking two gypsum boards in the vertical direction. The ceiling board portion 96 is arranged so that the thickness direction coincides with the vertical direction, and the lower surface forms the ceiling surface 92a (finished surface) of the large section.

[0026] The filler 97 is a material, such as glass wool, that is filled between the ceiling frame 94 and the ceiling board 96 for the purposes of heat insulation and sound absorption.

[0027] The side wall portion is a wall that forms the skeleton of the building main body 9, extending from the floor portion 91 to the ceiling portion 92. Specifically, the side wall portion is a structure that includes columns and braces that form the skeleton of the building main body 9, and plate-like bodies supported by the columns and braces.

[0028] The floor portion 91, the ceiling portion 92, and the side wall portions form large sections of the building.

[0029] As shown in Figure 1, the partition wall 1 comprises a pair of wall bodies 12 attached to a base material 11. The base material 11 comprises a plurality of vertical shaft portions 2 erected on a floor surface portion 91, a tubular pipe portion 3, and a connecting member 4. The partition wall 1 is a wall body that extends in the vertical direction from a ceiling portion 92 to the floor surface portion 91, with its upper end supported by the ceiling portion 92 and its lower end supported by the floor surface portion 91. The partition wall 1 is arranged so as to divide a large section into a plurality of small sections, and in this embodiment, it is arranged so as to extend from one side wall portion to the opposing side wall portion.

[0030] As shown in Fig. 1, the wall body 12 is a plate-like body having a surface that extends in the vertical direction and the extension direction. The vertical length of the wall body 12 is approximately the same as the distance from the ceiling portion 92 to the floor portion 91. The wall body 12 of this embodiment is made of a non-combustible material, such as gypsum board. The wall body 12 is arranged on one side and the other side of the vertical axis portion 2 in the wall thickness direction so that the thickness direction coincides with the wall thickness direction.

[0031] As shown in Figures 1 to 3, the vertical shaft portion 2 is a rod-shaped body that extends in the vertical direction and has a substantially uniform cross-sectional shape perpendicular to the vertical direction. In this embodiment, the vertical shaft portion 2 is a wooden shaft that is a wooden rectangular pillar. The vertical shaft portion 2 is located on one side and the other side in the wall thickness direction and has wall-facing surfaces 2a that are flat surfaces that extend in the vertical direction. In this embodiment, the vertical shaft portion 2 is a single rod-shaped body, and its vertical length is shorter than the length from the ceiling portion 92 to the floor portion 91. Multiple vertical shaft portions 2 are arranged at intervals in the extension direction of the partition wall 1.

[0032] As shown in FIG. 1, the pipe portion 3 is a substantially rectangular tube whose axial direction coincides with the extension direction of the partition wall 1. As shown in FIG. 2, the pipe portion 3 includes a lower pipe portion 32 that forms the lower surface of the pipe portion 3, an upper pipe portion 31 that forms the upper surface of the pipe portion 3, and a pair of pipe side portions 33 that extend from the upper pipe portion 31 to the lower pipe portion 32 and form the side surfaces of the pipe portion 3. The lower pipe portion 32, the upper pipe portion 31, and the pipe side portions 33 are all plate-like bodies, with the lower pipe portion 32 and the upper pipe portion 31 extending horizontally and the pair of pipe side portions 33 extending vertically. The pipe portion 3 is a tubular body whose both axial ends are open and whose circumferential area is substantially entirely closed from one end to the other end in the axial direction. The axial length of the pipe portion 3 is shorter than the extension length of the partition wall 1, and in this embodiment, it is less than half the length. The wall thickness direction length of the pipe portion 3 is approximately equal to or smaller than the wall thickness direction length (thickness) of the vertical shaft portion 2, and in this embodiment, is approximately equal to the wall thickness direction length (thickness) of the vertical shaft portion 2. The pipe portion 3 in this embodiment is made of square studs, which are general-purpose building materials.

[0033] The lower pipe section 32 is formed with a plurality of lower holes 3a penetrating in the vertical direction and spaced apart in the extension direction of the partition wall 1, while the upper pipe section 31 is formed with a plurality of upper holes 3b penetrating in the vertical direction and spaced apart in the extension direction of the partition wall 1. In this embodiment, the upper holes 3b and the lower holes 3a are formed so as to overlap in the vertical direction. Note that the upper holes 3b and the lower holes 3a may be formed in advance in the pipe section 3, or the upper holes 3b and the lower holes 3a may be formed as appropriate to suit the installation location of the partition wall 1.

[0034] As shown in Figure 1, the connecting member 4 includes a ceiling connecting member 5 connected to the ceiling portion 92, a floor connecting member 6 connected to the floor portion 91, and a pipe connecting member 7 connected to the pipe portion 3. In this embodiment, the ceiling connecting member 5, floor connecting member 6, and pipe connecting member 7 have the same configuration, and only the arrangement or manner in which they are connected differs. The connecting member 4 is connected to an object to be connected, and by connecting the object to be connected, the connecting object can be connected to the object to be connected.

[0035] As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 , the connecting member 4 includes a band-shaped connecting base 41 extending horizontally, a long wall 42 extending from the connecting base 41 to one side in the thickness direction of the connecting base 41, and a short wall 43 extending from the connecting base 41 to one side in the thickness direction of the connecting base 41 and having a thickness length shorter than that of the long wall 42. That is, the connecting member 4 is an elongated body having a U-shaped cross section perpendicular to the horizontal direction. Furthermore, in the natural state (when the vertical shaft portion 2 is not connected), the connecting member 4 is configured such that the long wall 42 and the short wall 43 approach each other horizontally toward their distal ends. In this embodiment, both the long wall 42 and the short wall 43 are inclined with respect to the vertical direction so that their distal ends are located inward in the horizontal direction. Furthermore, the longitudinal length of the connecting member 4 is approximately equal to the axial length of the pipe portion 3. In the connecting member 4, the surface on the other thickness direction side of the connecting base 41 is a connecting abutment surface 41a that abuts against an object to be connected. Furthermore, the connecting base 41 of this embodiment has a plurality of connecting holes 4a that penetrate through in the thickness direction and are spaced apart in the longitudinal direction.

[0036] As shown in FIG. 2, the ceiling connecting member 5 is used to connect the pipe section 3, which is the object to be connected, to the ceiling section 92, which is the object to be connected. Specifically, the ceiling connecting member 5 is placed under the ceiling board section 96 so that the connection abutment surface 41a abuts against the ceiling surface 92a, and the long wall section 42 and short wall section 43 of the placed ceiling connecting member 5 extend downward from the ceiling surface 92a. In other words, the ceiling connecting member 5 is placed so that the opening of its U-shape faces downward relative to the ceiling section 92. Furthermore, the ceiling connecting member 5 is placed so that the long wall section 42 is located on the other side in the wall thickness direction (the left side in the figure) and the short wall section 43 is located on one side in the wall thickness direction (the right side in the figure). Multiple ceiling connecting members 5 are placed side by side in the extension direction of the partition wall 1.

[0037] As shown in FIG. 3, the floor connecting member 6 is used to connect the vertical shaft portion 2, which is the object to be connected, to the floor portion 91, which is the object to be connected. Specifically, the floor connecting member 6 is placed on the upper part of the floor portion 91 so that the connection abutment surface 41a abuts against the floor surface 91a, and the long wall portion 42 and short wall portion 43 of the placed floor connecting member 6 extend upward from the floor surface 91a. In other words, the floor connecting member 6 is placed with the U-shaped opening facing upward relative to the floor portion 91. Furthermore, the floor connecting member 6 is placed so that the long wall portion 42 is located on the other side in the wall thickness direction (the left side in the figure) and the short wall portion 43 is located on one side in the wall thickness direction (the right side in the figure). A plurality of floor connecting members 6 are placed side by side in the extension direction of the partition wall 1.

[0038] As shown in FIG. 2 , the pipe connecting member 7 is used to connect the vertical shaft portion 2, which is the connecting object, to the pipe portion 3, which is the connecting object. Specifically, the pipe connecting member 7 is arranged so that the connecting abutment surface 41a abuts against the underside of the pipe lower portion 32, and the long wall portion 42 and short wall portion 43 of the arranged pipe connecting member 7 extend downward from the pipe lower portion 32. In other words, the pipe connecting member 7 is arranged so that the opening of its U-shape faces downward relative to the pipe portion 3. Furthermore, the ceiling connecting member 5 is arranged so that the long wall portion 42 is located on the other side in the wall thickness direction and the short wall portion 43 is located on one side in the wall thickness direction. Furthermore, the pipe connecting member 7 is arranged so that the long wall portion 42 is located on the other side in the wall thickness direction and the short wall portion 43 is located on one side in the wall thickness direction. A plurality of pipe connecting members 7 are arranged side by side in the extension direction of the partition wall 1.

[0039] The connecting holes 4a of the ceiling connecting member 5 and the pipe connecting member 7 are arranged at positions corresponding to the upper hole 3b and lower hole 3a of the pipe section 3. Specifically, as will be described later, when the ceiling connecting member 5 and the pipe connecting member 7 are connected to the pipe section 3, the upper hole 3b and lower hole 3a are formed so that the connecting hole 4a overlaps in the vertical direction.

[0040] In the partition wall 1 configured as described above, the vertical shafts 2 are connected to the floor connecting members 6, thereby erecting the vertical shafts 2 relative to the floor portion 91. A plurality of vertical shafts 2 are erected along the floor connecting members 6. Furthermore, a pipe 3 is arranged between the upper end of the vertical shaft 2 and the ceiling portion 92. A plurality of pipes 3 are arranged side by side in the extension direction, and each pipe 3 is arranged so as to straddle a plurality of vertical shafts 2. In this manner, the pipe 3 is arranged at a position different from the vertical shafts 2 in the up-down direction (a position that does not overlap with the vertical shafts 2 in the horizontal direction). In this embodiment, the plurality of pipes 3 are arranged spaced apart from each other in the extension direction, and are arranged so that the wiring C inserted from the gaps S between the pipes 3 can be moved radially outward from the pipes 3. Furthermore, no ceiling connecting members 5 or pipe connecting members 7 are arranged in the gaps S between the pipes 3 in the extension direction. The connecting member 4, vertical shaft portion 2, and pipe portion 3 are used as a base material 11, and a wall main body 12 is attached to its surface (one side and the other side in the wall thickness direction) to form the partition wall 1. In this embodiment, the wall main body 12 is adhered to the base material 11 with an adhesive. In this manner, when the wall main body 12 is attached, the pipe portion 3 faces the wall main body 12 in the wall thickness direction.

[0041] A method for forming the partition wall 1 having the above structure will now be described.

[0042] As shown in FIG. 4 , when forming the partition wall 1, the pipe section 3, the ceiling connecting member 5, and the pipe connecting member 7 are first connected to form an integrated pipe unit 8. Specifically, the pipe connecting member 7 is abutted against the underside of the pipe section 3 to connect the pipe section 3 and the pipe connecting member 7, and the upper end of the pipe section 3 is fitted between the long wall section 42 and the short wall section 43 of the ceiling connecting member 5 to connect the pipe section 3 and the ceiling connecting member 5. In this embodiment, the pipe section 3 and the pipe connecting member 7 are connected with screws. The screws are threaded into the lower pipe section 32 (lower hole 3a) and the connecting base section 41 (connecting hole 4a) of the pipe connecting member 7 with their tips facing radially outward from the pipe section 3. The pipe section 3 is connected to the ceiling connecting member 5 by being sandwiched between the long wall section 42 and the short wall section 43 of the ceiling connecting member 5. In this embodiment, the pipe connecting member 7 is provided with a screw receiving section 44 for receiving a screw. Here, in the pipe portion 3, the upper hole 3b and the lower hole 3a are positioned so as to overlap in the vertical direction, so that when screwing in a screw, a tool can be inserted through the upper hole 3b to screw in the screw in the lower hole 3a. Also, the screw is screwed into some of the lower holes 3a out of the multiple lower holes 3a formed in the pipe lower portion 32.

[0043] Next, as shown in FIG. 5 , the pipe unit 8 is connected to the ceiling portion 92. Specifically, by connecting the ceiling connecting member 5 to the ceiling portion 92, the entire pipe unit 8 is connected to the ceiling portion 92. In this embodiment, the pipe portion 3 and the ceiling connecting member 5 are connected to the ceiling portion 92 with screws. The screws are inserted through the upper pipe portion 31 (upper hole 3b) and the connecting base portion 41 (connecting hole 4a) of the ceiling connecting member 5 with their tips facing radially outward from the pipe portion 3, and are then screwed into the ceiling plate portion 96 and the ceiling support portion 95. Here, the upper hole 3b and the lower hole 3a of the pipe portion 3 are positioned so as to overlap in the vertical direction. Therefore, when screwing the screws, a tool can be inserted through the lower hole 3a (one of which has no screw attached) to screw in the screw in the upper hole 3b. Furthermore, the floor connecting member 6 is connected to the floor portion 91 so as to overlap in the vertical direction with the pipe unit 8 connected to the ceiling portion 92. The floor connecting members 6 of this embodiment are connected to the floor portion 91 with screws. In this step, the pipe portion 3 is fixed to the ceiling portion 92 via the ceiling connecting members 5.

[0044] Next, the vertical shaft portion 2 is fitted between the pipe connecting member 7 and the floor connecting member 6, and the vertical shaft portion 2 is erected relative to the floor portion 91. In this embodiment, the vertical shaft portion 2 is fitted into the pipe connecting member 7 and the floor connecting member 6 in a snap-fit ​​manner, and is erected relative to the floor surface 91a. Specifically, in the wall thickness direction, the vertical shaft portion 2 is fitted into the pipe connecting member 7 and the floor connecting member 6 from the side where the short wall portion 43 is located. If necessary, the vertical shaft portion 2 is fixed to the connecting member 4 using screws or the like. Through the above process, the base material 11 of the partition wall 1 is formed. In this process, the vertical shaft portion 2 is fixed to the floor portion 91 via the floor connecting member 6, and to the pipe portion 3 via the pipe connecting member 7.

[0045] Then, wiring is performed as shown in Figures 1 and 2. Specifically, wiring C, such as electrical cables and communication cables, is passed through the pipes 3 and into the area inside the partition wall 1. Here, because the pipes 3 are arranged to extend in the extension direction of the partition wall 1, the wiring C can be routed in the extension direction of the partition wall 1 without being obstructed by the members that serve as the base material 11. Furthermore, because the pipes 3 are arranged with a gap between them in the extension direction, the wiring C can be easily routed outside the pipes 3 from the spaces S between the pipes 3. Furthermore, when the wiring C is to be routed outside the pipes 3 from a location other than the spaces S between the pipes 3, radial holes can be formed in the pipe side portions 33 or the pipe lower portion 32 as appropriate, and the wiring C can be routed outside the pipes 3 from the holes.

[0046] Finally, the pair of wall bodies 12 are attached to the base material 11. In this embodiment, the wall bodies 12 are attached by adhering them to the base material 11 with an adhesive. Here, the wall thickness direction length of the pipe portion 3 is approximately equal to or shorter than the wall thickness direction length of the vertical shaft portion 2, so that the pipe portion 3 does not get in the way when attaching the entire wall body 12 to the vertical shaft portion 2. In particular, because the wall thickness direction length of the pipe portion 3 is approximately equal to the wall thickness direction length of the vertical shaft portion 2, the wall-facing surface 2a of the vertical shaft portion 2 and the outer surface of the pipe side portion 33 can extend continuously in the vertical direction. This allows the wall body 12 to be attached (adhered) to both the vertical shaft portion 2 and the pipe portion 3, so that the wall body 12 can be firmly supported by the base material 11.

[0047] The partition wall 1 is formed through the above steps.

[0048] According to the partition wall 1 configured as described above, the pipe portion 3 extending in the extension direction is disposed inside the partition wall 1, making it easy to pass the wiring C inside the partition wall 1, and furthermore, the pipe portion 3 is disposed at a different position in the vertical direction from the vertical axis portion 2, and faces each of the pair of wall bodies 12 in the wall thickness direction, making it easy to pass the wiring C on both sides in the wall thickness direction of the partition wall 1. Therefore, it is possible to obtain a partition wall 1 in which wiring is easy to pass.

[0049] Furthermore, since the pipe section 3 is fixed to the ceiling section 92, it is easy to run wiring on the ceiling section 92. Therefore, it is possible to obtain a partition wall 1 that allows easy running of wiring along the ceiling section 92 or floor section 91.

[0050] Furthermore, since the wiring C can be pulled out radially outward of the pipes 3 between the pipes 3, the wiring C can be routed inside the partition wall 1 without processing the pipes 3. Therefore, since the wiring C can be easily pulled out from the pipes 3, a partition wall 1 can be obtained that makes it easy to route wiring inside the partition wall 1 and to route wiring to the outside of the partition wall 1.

[0051] Furthermore, since the wiring along the ceiling surface 92a can be arranged inside the partition wall 1, the wiring C and the wiring cover can be prevented from being exposed, improving the design of the interior of the small compartment.

[0052] Furthermore, since the pipe section 3 is constructed from each stud, the pipe section 3 can be constructed from general-purpose building materials.

[0053] The above describes an embodiment of the present invention using an example, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications can be made within the scope that does not deviate from the gist of the present invention.

[0054] For example, although a configuration in which the vertical shaft portion 2 is connected to the floor portion 91 via a connecting member 4 has been described as an example, this configuration is not limited to this, and the vertical shaft portion 2 can also be directly connected to the floor portion 91.

[0055] Furthermore, although an example has been described in which the pipe portion 3 is connected to the ceiling portion 92 via a connecting member 4, this is not limited to such a configuration, and the pipe portion 3 can also be directly connected to the ceiling portion 92.

[0056] Furthermore, although the configuration in which the pipe section 3 is disposed between the ceiling section 92 and the vertical shaft section 2 has been described as an example, the configuration is not limited to this, and the pipe section 3 may also be disposed between the floor section and the vertical shaft section 2. In such a configuration, it becomes easier to run the wiring along the floor surface 91a.

[0057] Furthermore, although the vertical shaft portion 2 has been described as being a wooden shaft, it is not limited to this configuration and may be formed of, for example, a square stud or a stud with a U-shaped cross section.

[0058] Furthermore, although the configuration has been described as an example in which a plurality of pipe sections 3 are arranged spaced apart in the extension direction and the wiring C can be led out of the pipe sections 3 from the spaces S between the pipe sections 3, the configuration is not limited to this, and a configuration in which one pipe section 3 extends throughout the extension direction of the partition wall 1 may also be used. When such a configuration is adopted, for example, a configuration in which a plurality of openings are formed in a part of the pipe side section 33 and the wiring C can be taken out from the openings may also be used.

[0059] Furthermore, although the connecting member 4 has been described as being connected to other members with screws, it is not limited to this configuration and can also be configured to be connected with pins or nails, or by means of welding or the like.

[0060] Furthermore, although an example has been described in which a partition wall 1 is formed in a building main body 9 with a double ceiling and a straight floor, the present invention is not limited to such a configuration, and a partition wall 1 can also be formed in a building main body 9 with a straight ceiling in which the ceiling structural body 94 that forms the structural frame forms the ceiling surface 92a, or a partition wall 1 can be formed in a building main body 9 with a double floor in which another plate positioned above and spaced apart from the floor board 93 forms the floor surface 91a.

[0061] Furthermore, the method for forming the partition wall 1 has been described as taking as an example a configuration in which the pipe section 3 and the ceiling connecting member 5 are integrated and then attached to the ceiling section 92, but the present invention is not limited to this configuration, and it is also possible to attach the ceiling connecting member 5 to the ceiling section 92, and then attach the pipe section 3 and the pipe connecting member 7 to the attached ceiling connecting member 5. According to this method of formation, the ceiling connecting member 5 can be used as a guide when attaching the pipe section 3 to the ceiling section 92, making it easier to attach the pipe section 3 to the ceiling section 92.

[0062] Next, another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Fig. 6. The same components as those in the above embodiment will be given the same reference numerals and the description thereof will be omitted.

[0063] The vertical shaft portion 2 of this embodiment comprises a lower shaft portion 2A whose lower end is fixed to the floor portion 91 and an upper shaft portion 2B whose upper end is fixed to the ceiling portion 92, the lower shaft portion 2A and the upper shaft portion 2B being configured as separate bodies. Specifically, the lower end of the lower shaft portion 2A is connected and fixed to the floor portion 91 by a floor connecting member 6, and the upper end of the upper shaft portion 2B is connected and fixed to the ceiling portion 92 by a ceiling connecting member 5. Furthermore, the upper end of the lower shaft portion 2A and the lower end of the upper shaft portion 2B are connected by a pipe unit 8 so as to extend continuously in the vertical direction.

[0064] The pipe unit 8 includes a pipe section 3, an upper pipe connecting member 7B as a pipe connecting member 7 connected to the upper part of the pipe section 3, and a lower pipe connecting member 7A as a pipe connecting member connected to the lower part of the pipe section 3. The pipe section 3 is connected to the upper pipe connecting member 7B and the lower pipe connecting member 7A with screws.

[0065] The upper pipe connecting member 7B is arranged so that the connecting abutment surface 41a abuts against the upper surface of the upper pipe section 31, and the long wall section 42 and short wall section 43 extend upward from the upper pipe section 31. In other words, the upper pipe connecting member 7B is arranged so that the opening of its U-shape faces downward relative to the pipe section 3. The lower pipe connecting member 7A is arranged so that the connecting abutment surface 41a abuts against the lower surface of the lower pipe section 32, and the long wall section 42 and short wall section 43 extend downward from the lower pipe section 32. In other words, the lower pipe connecting member 7A is arranged so that the opening of its U-shape faces downward relative to the pipe section 3.

[0066] Such a pipe unit 8 is connected to the lower shaft portion 2A by fitting the upper end of the lower shaft portion 2A into the lower pipe connecting member 7A, and is connected to the upper shaft portion 2B by fitting the lower end of the upper shaft portion 2B into the upper pipe connecting member 7B.

[0067] When forming the partition wall 1 of this embodiment, first, the ceiling connecting member 5 is connected to the ceiling portion 92, and the floor connecting member 6 is connected to the floor portion 91. Then, the pipe connecting member 7 is connected to the pipe portion 3 to form the pipe unit 8.

[0068] Next, the lower shaft portion 2A is connected to the floor connecting member 6, and the lower shaft portion 2A is erected on the floor portion 91. Then, the pipe unit 8 is arranged so that the upper end of the erected lower shaft portion 2A is fitted into the lower pipe connecting member 7A, and then the upper shaft portion 2B is erected between the upper pipe connecting member 7B and the ceiling connecting member 5. The upper shaft portion 2B is fitted into the upper pipe connecting member 7B and the ceiling connecting member 5 in a snap-fit ​​manner, and is erected. Through the above steps, the base material 11 for the partition wall 1 of this embodiment is formed. Then, the wall main body 12 is attached to the base material 11, and the partition wall 1 is formed.

[0069] According to the partition wall 1 configured as described above, the pipe section 3 is installed between the upper shaft section 2B and the lower shaft section 2A, which makes it easier to wire at positions away from the ceiling section 92 and the floor section 91. Therefore, it is possible to obtain a partition wall 1 with improved wiring freedom. [Explanation of symbols]
