Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] The partition structure disclosed in Patent Document 1 above forms a frame body by connecting a holding member provided at both ends of a beam to a connecting groove provided along the length direction of the pole, and constructs a wall surface by fitting a partition panel into a groove provided in the beam and the connecting groove of the pole (both 4 mm wide). Conventionally, as the partition panel, it has been common to use a wooden board with a thickness of 4 mm.

[0005] However, the partition structure using a partition panel made of a wooden board has the following problems. (1) Since the surface of the wooden board material is not smooth, painting or pre-treatment is required for sticking stickers or decorative sheets. Also, when peeling off the stickers or decorative sheets, the wooden surface may be damaged, resulting in low reusability. (2) When stickers or decorative sheets are stuck on both sides of a 4-mm-thick wooden panel, the thickness increases, making it difficult to fit into the groove of the beam or the connection groove of the pole (both 4 mm wide). (3) Since the cut surface of the wooden board material is rough and the corners are sharp, there is a risk of chipping at the corners during transportation or assembly. Also, there is a risk of the operator getting injured by the sharp cut surface. (4) The wooden board material is lacking in durability because the corners are easily chipped and damaged during use or storage. Once damaged, it is difficult to repair and has to be discarded. (5) When changing the color of the wooden board material, surface painting is required. However, if it gets scratched during use, the paint will peel off, damaging the aesthetic appearance. Also, since repainting is time-consuming and costly, it is inferior in maintainability. (6) It is difficult to deal with transparent or translucent panels using wooden board materials, so there are limitations in expressions such as effects combined with lighting.

[0006] The present invention has been made in view of the above problems of the prior art, and an object thereof is to provide a partition structure and a partition panel that are excellent in decorativeness, workability, safety, durability, maintainability, and can widen the range of expressions.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0007] To solve the above problems, the partition structure of the present invention includes a plurality of poles, a plurality of beams connecting both ends of the poles, and a panel fitted into the groove of the beam and the connection groove provided along the length direction of the pole. The panel is formed of a PVC foam board or a PET material, the thickness of the panel is 3.5 mm or less, and the panel is characterized in that the peripheral edge is rounded, and a partition structure is provided. The thickness of the panel may be 3.5 mm or less. The panel may be a PVC foam board formed by foaming PVC with color applied to the material itself. The panel may be formed of a PET material and may be transparent or translucent.

[0008] Moreover, the partition panel used in the partition structure of the present invention is formed of a PVC foam board or a PET material, and is characterized in that the peripheral edge is rounded. It may have a thickness of 3.5 mm or less, may be a PVC foam board formed by foaming PVC with color applied to the material itself, may be formed of a PET material, and may be transparent or translucent.

Effect of the Invention

[0009] According to the present invention, the following effects can be obtained. (1) Due to the smooth surface of the PVC foam board, stickers and decorative sheets can be attached without pre-treatment, and the surface is not damaged when peeling off, and it has excellent reusability. (2) Since it is designed to have a thickness of 3.5 mm, it can be easily fitted into the 4-mm-wide groove even when decorated on both sides, improving the workability. (3) By processing the peripheral edge into a rounded shape, the risk of chipping and injury to the operator is reduced, and since it is hidden inside the frame, the aesthetics are not impaired. (4) Due to the impact resistance of the PVC foam board, chipping is prevented, and minor damage can be repaired, so it can be used for a long time and has excellent durability. (5) Since the color is applied to the material itself, there is no color change even if it is damaged, and small scratches can be simply repaired, so repainting is not required and it has excellent maintainability. (6) By providing a transparent / translucent PET material panel, an electrical decoration effect combined with lighting becomes possible, expanding the range of expression of display performances.

Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0011] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

[0012] (1) Outline of the partition structure FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the overall configuration of the partition structure 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a partial enlarged view thereof. The partition structure 1 includes a plurality of poles 10, a plurality of beams 20, and a partition panel 30. A rectangular frame is formed by the poles 10 and the beams 20, and a partition panel 30 is fitted into the frame to construct a wall surface. In the present embodiment, octanol is used for the poles 10 and the beams 20, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0013] (2) Configuration of the pole FIG. 3 is a horizontal cross-sectional view of the partition structure 1 according to the present embodiment. The pole 10 is generally formed of a metal material such as aluminum, and a connection groove 11 is provided along the length direction. As shown in FIG. 2, a plurality of connection grooves 11 with a width of 4 mm are provided radially along the circumferential direction of the pole 10. Note that the shape, number, arrangement, etc. of the connection grooves 11 are not limited to the illustrated example.

[0014] (3) Configuration of the beam The beam 20 is generally formed of a metal material such as aluminum. Both ends of the beam 20 are connected to the connection groove 11 of the pole 10 via a holding member (not shown). As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, a groove portion 21 is formed in the beam 20.

[0015] (4) Basic structure of the partition panel FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram showing the fitting of the partition panel 30 to the beam 20 in the partition structure 1 according to the present embodiment. The partition panel 30 is a rectangular plate material and is formed so as to be fitted into the connection groove 11 of the pole 10 and the groove portion 21 of the beam 20. The partition panel 30 has its peripheral edge 31 rounded so that it can be smoothly fitted into the connection groove 11 and the groove portion 21. The partition panel 30 is formed of a PVC foam board or a PET material and has a thickness of 3.5 mm. This thickness is designed to be thinner than that of a conventional wooden panel (thickness 4 mm), and even when stickers or decorative sheets are attached to both sides, it can be easily fitted into the connection groove 11 and the groove portion 21 with a width of 4 mm. In addition, the partition panel 30 has its peripheral edge 31 rounded, so that corners will not be chipped like those of a wooden panel during transportation or assembly, and the risk of the operator getting injured is also reduced. Furthermore, since the rounded peripheral edge 31 is hidden inside the frame, the finished beauty is not impaired.

[0016] (5) Partition panel made of PVC foam board As a first aspect of the partition panel 30 of the present embodiment, it is formed of a PVC foam board. The partition panel 30 formed of a PVC foam board can impart a color (for example, white, black, etc.) to the PVC itself as the material. Thereby, there is no need to apply paint to the surface like a conventional wooden panel, and the color will not change even if it is scratched during use. Furthermore, small scratches can be easily removed with a compound, and it has excellent maintainability. And since the surface of the PVC foam board is smooth, stickers and decorative sheets can be directly attached without the painting and pre-treatment required for conventional wooden panels. Also, when removing the stickers or decorative sheets, the surface will not be damaged like that of a wooden panel, and they can be replaced any number of times. Compared with wooden panels, the PVC foam board has high durability. Since its corners are rounded, chipping due to impact is less likely to occur, and it can be used for a long time.

[0017] (6) Partition panel made of PET material As a second aspect of the partition panel 30 of this embodiment, it is formed of a PET material. The partition panel 30 formed of a PET material can be transparent or translucent. By combining it with lighting devices such as LEDs, which was not possible with conventional wooden panels, an effect similar to that of a lighted signboard can be obtained, and various lighting effects can be achieved at exhibition booths and the like.

[0018] (7) Assembly method of the partition structure Next, the assembly method of the partition structure 1 according to this embodiment will be described. First, the pole 10 is placed at a predetermined position, and the beam 20 is fixed to the connection groove 11 of the pole 10 via a holding member. Next, the peripheral edge 31 of the partition panel 30 is fitted into the groove portion 21 of the beam 20 and the connection groove 11 of the pole 10. Since the thickness of the partition panel 30 is 3.5 mm, it can be more easily fitted into the groove portion 21 and the connection groove 11 (both 4 mm wide) than a conventional wooden panel (4 mm). Also, even when double-sided stickers or decorative sheets are attached to the partition panel 30, the fitting is easy. Furthermore, since the peripheral edge 31 is rounded, the fitting into the connection groove 11 and the groove portion 21 can be performed more smoothly.

[0019] Due to these characteristics, the partition panel 30 according to this embodiment is expected to be widely used in various fields such as advertising displays, interior decorations, and architectural models.
