Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a booth that has a high soundproofing effect and is suitable for rearrangement, etc., and to an arrangement structure for a booth unit that uses a plurality of such booths. [Background technology]

[0002] 2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as shown in Patent Documents 1 and 2, arrangement structures of booths for performing work and booth units combining a plurality of booths have been disclosed.

[0003] Patent document 1 describes a table with panels that has four leg members, a table top, and panels that extend in three directions above the table top, and which allows the panels to be easily attached and removed.

[0004] Moreover, Patent Document 2 describes a work booth that has an outer perimeter that is roughly pentagonal when viewed from above and a concave desk top that allows an occupant to enter, and describes various patterns of work booth units that can be created by combining the outer perimeters. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0005] [Patent Document 1] Patent No. 2022-094769 [Patent Document 2] Patent Publication 2004-180937 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] However, the panel-equipped table described in Patent Document 1 does not have sufficient soundproofing because there is nothing to block sound behind it, so voices can reach those around and it is not possible to block out sounds from the surroundings. Also, the size cannot be changed later, so there is little flexibility when changing the layout.

[0007] In addition, the work booth unit described in Patent Document 2 does not have sufficient soundproofing performance because the booths are arranged so that users face each other, and voices can reach the surroundings, and it is not possible to block out surrounding sounds. Also, although there are variations in booth size, booths of different sizes cannot be used in combination.

[0008] The present invention has been made in consideration of these circumstances, and its main objective is to provide a booth that has a high soundproofing effect even when used for web conferences, and further allows the booth size and entrance / exit direction to be changed later depending on how the room space is used, as well as an arrangement structure of a highly soundproof booth unit that uses multiple such booths. [Means for solving the problem]

[0009] In order to solve the above problems, a small booth having a U-shaped partition plate in a plan view, the partition plate having a front plate and two side plates fixed to both ends of the front plate so as to face each other, a top plate provided in contact with the inner surfaces of the front plate and the side plates for carrying out work, and a sound absorbing material provided removably on the inner surface of the partition plate above the top plate, further comprising an extended side plate as a partition plate, the extended side plate being continuous with one of the side plates and fixed on the opposite side to the front plate, and a sound absorbing material facing the front plate. , one end is extension side plate Edge of and a back panel fixed at a right angle to the L-shaped panel, and an entrance formed between the other of the side panels to which the L-shaped panel is not fixed and the back panel, The rear plate and the other extension side plate are fixed by holes provided inside only at the end edge of the extension side plate and one end edge of the rear plate, and a fixing member inserted through the holes, The L-shaped plate fixed to one side panel is characterized in that it can be attached to the other side panel.

[0010] Preferably, the arrangement of a booth unit using the large booth described in claim 1 is characterized in that the small booths are not adjacent to each other, three or more small and large booths are adjacent to each other, and the entire perimeter is surrounded by partition boards.

[0011] Preferably, the arrangement of a booth unit using the large booth described in claim 1 is characterized in that one small booth is arranged between two large booths so that the side panels are attached to each other, and an L-shaped plate is provided so that each entrance and exit of the large booth faces the small booth side.

[0012] Preferably, the arrangement structure of a booth unit using a large booth as described in claim 1 is characterized in that three large booths having entrances and exits in the same direction and one small booth are used, the large booths are arranged with their back panels and other side panels glued together so that the entrances and exits are adjacent to each other, and the small booths are arranged with their side panels glued to the back panel of the large booth so that the extended side panel and the front panel of the small booth are continuous. Effect of the Invention

[0013] According to the large booth of the present invention, a small booth having a partition board with a front panel and two side panels, a top panel for work, and removable sound-absorbing material further has an L-shaped panel and an entrance / exit as a partition board, and the L-shaped panel can be attached to either of the two side panels, making it possible to make the booth highly soundproof. By removing the L-shaped panel, it can also be used as a small booth, and at the same time, by replacing the L-shaped panel, the entrance / exit can easily be changed to either the left or right direction, making it possible to make the booth adaptable to changes in the layout of the room space.

[0014] According to the booth unit arrangement structure of the present invention, the small booths are not adjacent to each other, and three or more small and large booths are adjacent to each other, so even if a small booth with lower soundproofing than the large booth is used, surrounding noise will not be a concern, and since the booths are arranged so that the entire perimeter is surrounded by partition boards, a booth unit arrangement structure with high soundproofing can be achieved.

[0015] According to the booth unit arrangement structure of the present invention, one small booth is used between two large booths as described in claim 1, and the top panels are arranged adjacent to each other horizontally with side panels interposed between them. The large booth is provided with an L-shaped panel so that each entrance and exit faces the small booth side, allowing three people to use the booth at the same time. The small booths are not adjacent to each other, and the entire booth unit is surrounded by partition panels, resulting in a booth unit arrangement structure with high soundproofing.

[0016] According to the booth unit arrangement structure of the present invention, in the large booth as described in claim 1, three large booths having entrances and exits in the same direction and one small booth are used, the large booths are arranged with the back panels and the other side panels of the large booths glued together so that they are connected to each other in a roughly L-shape when viewed from above, and the side panels of the small booths are arranged with the back panels of the large booths glued together so that the extended side panel of the large booth to which the other side panel is not glued is connected to the front panel of the small booth, allowing four people to use the booths at the same time, and the small booths are not adjacent to each other, and are arranged so that the entire booth unit is surrounded by partitions, resulting in an arrangement structure of the booth unit with high soundproofing.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0018] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

[0019] The large booth 1 and booth unit arrangement structures 1a to 1f of the present invention are primarily intended for use in a corner of a room or office for general web conferences such as meetings, interviews, and information sessions held using a personal computer, tablet device, etc.

[0020] [About Large Booth 1] As shown in Figures 1(a) and 1(b), the large booth 1 of the present invention has a partition board 3 that is U-shaped in plan view, a work top board 4a, and sound-absorbing material 6 that is a member that absorbs sound, which are components of the small booth 2 described later. In addition, the large booth 1 of the present invention further has an L-shaped board 13 that is L-shaped in plan view as the partition board 3, and an entrance / exit 16.

[0021] Large booth 1 has a simple structure overall, can be easily assembled on-site, and can be easily rearranged to suit the layout of the room. When not in use, it can be disassembled, so it can be stored without taking up space. Large booth 1 also has better soundproofing than small booth 2, blocking out sounds from the outside and blocking out voices from the inside to the outside, making it the perfect booth for holding web conferences inside the booth.

[0022] Inside the large booth 1, there is a space for working on the top board 4a, and an open space S at the rear. The space S can be used to place large luggage such as a user's suitcase. Therefore, other people can easily tell whether the large booth 1 is currently in use by checking whether there is luggage there or not without looking inside the large booth 1.

[0023] (About Small Booth 2) As shown in Figures 2(a) and (b), the small booth 2, like the large booth 1, has a simple structure overall, is smaller in size than the large booth 1, and can be easily assembled on-site. When not in use, it can be disassembled, so it can be stored without taking up space. The small booth 2 has high soundproofing properties that block out sounds from the outside and block out voices from the inside to the outside, making it an ideal booth for users to hold web conferences inside the booth.

[0024] The small booth 2 has a partition board 3 that is U-shaped in plan view, a top board 4a for carrying out work, and a sound-absorbing material 6 that is a member for absorbing sound.

[0025] (Regarding partition board 3) The partition board 3 is a plate-like member that separates the adjacent large booth 1 or small booth 2 as a wall so as to be U-shaped in plan view, blocking visibility and sound. The partition board 3 includes a front panel 4 and two side panels 5.

[0026] As shown in Fig. 3, on both the left and right ends of the front plate 4, five connecting holes 7 and fastening holes 8 for connecting the side plate 5 are provided at equal intervals in the inward direction of the front plate 4. A screw hole 7a is also provided in the side plate 5 at a height position that is continuous with the connecting hole 7 when the front plate 4 is assembled. The front plate 4 and the side plate 5 are connected using a double bolt 9 that connects the connecting hole 7 and the screw hole 7a, and then a minifix 10 is inserted through the fastening hole 8 provided on the inner surface of the front plate 4 to fix the end of the double bolt 9 to the front plate 4.

[0027] Although not shown, the partition board and the floor surface are fixed with concrete screws, and the partition board and the concrete screws are fixed with minifixes.

[0028] The means for connecting the partition plates 3 to each other and the means for connecting the partition plates 3 to the floor surface are not limited to the methods using double bolts 9, minifixes 10, and concrete screws, and other fixing hardware may be used for connection as long as it can be attached or removed.

[0029] The height of all the partitions 3 is uniform to enhance the design, and is approximately 1400mm to 1800mm; the higher the height, the better the soundproofing. Also, by making the height approximately 1600mm or more, for example, the partitions 3 can block the view of the surroundings even if the user stands up inside the booth, preventing the user from seeing what is happening in adjacent booths. The height H of the partitions 3 can be changed as appropriate depending on the usage and purpose of the booth.

[0030] Furthermore, if, after assembling and using the small booth 2, it is found that the sound insulation from other booths is not sufficient, a connecting hole 7 and a fastening hole 8 may be provided on the upper end edge of the partition board 3 as well, and a raising plate 11 made of the same material as the partition board 3 may be provided on the upper part of the partition board 3 afterwards, as shown in Fig. 4. By providing the raising plate 11, the height H of the partition board 3 can be adjusted, and the sound insulation can be improved later. In Fig. 4, the raising plate 11 is provided on the upper part of the front board 4, but the other partition boards 3 may also be provided with raising plates 11 in the same manner.

[0031] The thickness of the partition boards 3 is uniform, and is preferably 10 mm to 40 mm. The thicker the board, the greater the soundproofing effect, but if the board is too thick, it becomes heavy and assembly becomes difficult, so a board with a thickness of 15 mm to 25 mm is more preferably used.

[0032] (Regarding front panel 4) The front panel 4 is fixed in a position in front of the user, and blocks voices emitted from the user in the forward direction. As shown in Fig. 1(b), a wiring hole 12a is provided in the lower part of the front panel 4 for passing a power cord for a personal computer or the like. Also, if necessary, a fixed shelf for placing items may be provided above the top panel 4a, although this is not shown.

[0033] (Regarding side panel 5) The two side panels 5 are fixed to face each other at both ends of the front panel 4. The side panels 5 block the voice of the user from leaking to the outside, either from the left or right, or from the voice reflected by the front panel 4. The two side panels 5 have the same shape, but may be modified as necessary.

[0034] As shown in FIG. 1(b), the lower part of the side panel 5 is provided with a wiring hole 12b for passing a power cord or the like when using a personal computer.

[0035] (About top plate 4a) The top plate 4a is provided so as to contact the inner surfaces of the front plate 4 and the side plate 5, and a user places a personal computer on the top plate 4a inside the booth to perform work for a web conference. As shown in FIG. 5, a rod-shaped receiving bar 12 is fixed to the front plate 4 and the side plate 5, and the top plate 4a is fixed on the receiving bar 12 with a bolt or the like. At the end of the top plate 4a, a wiring hole 12c is provided for passing a power cord or the like when using a personal computer. The top plate 4a is a horizontally long rectangular shape, and the horizontal length of the top plate 4a is approximately the same as that of the front plate 4. The depth direction of the top plate 4a is preferably 300 mm to 600 mm.

[0036] (About sound absorbing material 6) The sound absorbing material 6 is a member for absorbing sound, and is detachably provided on the inner surface of the partition plate 3 above the top plate 4a. The sound absorbing material 6 is a porous material with many small holes inside, and materials such as urethane sponge, glass wool, and felt are preferably used. The adhesive surface of the sound absorbing material 6 to the partition plate 3 is provided by, for example, a hook-and-loop fastener, and the sound absorbing material 6 can be detachably attached to the partition plate 3. The thickness of the sound absorbing material 6 is 15 mm to 50 mm, and is determined according to the desired performance and use. Furthermore, by using the sound absorbing material 6, the fastening holes 8 provided on the inner surface of the partition plate 3 can be covered and hidden, improving the design.

[0037] (About L-shaped plate 13) 1, the L-shaped board 13 has an extended side board 14 and a back board 15 fixed at a right angle to the extended side board 14. The two side boards 5 of the large booth 1 are one side board 5a and the other side board 5b, and the extended side board 14 is continuous with the one side board 5a and fixed on the opposite side to the front board 4, and the back board 15 faces the front board 4. Above the top board 4a of the L-shaped board 13, sound absorbing material 6 is provided, similar to the front board 4 and side board 5.

[0038] The small booth 2 does not have an L-shaped board 13 and is therefore unable to block sounds and voices coming from behind, but the large booth 1 has an L-shaped board 13 and the back panel 15 can block sounds and voices coming from behind the user, further improving soundproofing.

[0039] The left and right ends of the extended side panel 14 of the L-shaped panel 13 are provided with a connecting hole 7 and a fastening hole 8 for connecting one of the side panels 5 and the back panel 15. As shown in FIG. 6, the extended side panel 14 has a connecting hole 7 at a height position that is continuous with the connecting hole 7 of one of the side panels 5a, similar to when the front panel 4 and the side panel 5 are fixed. The connecting holes 7 are fixed to each other with a double bolt 9, and the partition panel 3 and the double bolt 9 are fixed by a mini-fix 10 from the fastening hole 8 connected to the end of the double bolt 9. Conversely, when separating the extended side panel 14 from one of the side panels 5a, they can be easily separated by removing the mini-fix 10 and the double bolt 9. Therefore, if necessary, the extended side panel 14 of the L-shaped panel 13 of the large booth 1 can be separated from one of the side panels 5a to use it as a small booth 2.

[0040] Also, the L-shaped plate 13 can be removed from one side plate 5a, inverted, and replaced on the other side plate 5b. That is, the L-shaped plate 13 can be replaced from one side plate 5a to the other side plate 5b by inverting the L-shaped plate 13 so that the letter "A" provided on the L-shaped plate 13 for explanation as shown in FIG. 1(a) becomes the inverted letter "A" as shown in FIG. 7(a). By replacing the L-shaped plate 13, the left and right direction of the entrance 16 can be freely changed. By freely changing the left and right direction of the entrance 16, the range in which the arrangement and layout can be changed according to the layout of the room can be expanded. After replacing the L-shaped plate 13, the sound-absorbing material 6 is attached to the lower part of the partition plate 3 because the L-shaped plate 13 is inverted and replaced. Since the sound-absorbing material 6 is detachable from the partition plate 3, the sound-absorbing material 6 is attached from the lower part to the upper part of the partition plate 3 to complete the series of steps.

[0041] On the other hand, in order to change the direction of the entrance / exit 16, it is possible to remove the extended side panel 14 from one of the side panels 5a and the back panel 15, invert it, and attach it to the other side panel 5b, thereby changing the direction of the entrance / exit 16. However, this method requires providing the connecting holes 7 and fastening holes 8 on both the left and right sides of the back panel 15. In this case, when the large booth 1 is viewed from the outside, the connecting holes and fastening holes of the back panel 15 on the side to which the extended side panel 14 is not fixed are visible, resulting in poor design. Therefore, by making the extended side panel 14 replaceable with the other side panel 5b using the L-shaped panel 13, rather than replacing it, the connecting holes and fastening holes on the entrance / exit 16 side of the back panel 15 are no longer necessary, thereby improving the design.

[0042] Furthermore, if the extended side panel 14 is replaced to change the direction of the entrance / exit 16, the extended side panel 14 must be removed from both one of the side panels 5a and the back panel 15 before being attached to the other side panel 5b and the back panel 15, resulting in a total of 10 points where the double bolts 9 and minifixes 10 need to be removed and fixed. However, by replacing it with the L-shaped panel 13, the double bolts 9 and minifixes 10 only need to be removed from one of the side panels 5a and then attached to the other side panel 5b, so the number of points where the double bolts 9 and minifixes 10 need to be removed and fixed is reduced to a total of 5, halving the number of points where they need to be removed and fixed.

[0043] Furthermore, if the extended side panel 14 were a single piece of panel, it would not be able to stand independently, but by making it an L-shaped panel 13, it can stand independently, making it easier to remove and fasten the double bolts 9 and minifixes 10.

[0044] In this way, instead of removing the single extended side panel 14 from one side panel 5a and the back panel 15, inverting it and attaching it to the other side panel 5b, it can be attached as an L-shaped panel 13 from one side panel 5a to the other side panel 5b, thereby improving work efficiency when changing the direction of the entrance / exit 16.

[0045] (Regarding rear panel 15) The back panel 15 has the same shape as the front panel 4, and blocks the voice emitted by the user in the left and right directions from being reflected by the front panel 4 or side panel 5, improving soundproofing. As described above, the back panel 15 is fixed to the end edge at a right angle to the extended side panel 14. Since it is only necessary to fix it to one end edge, either the left or right, the connecting hole 7 and fastening hole 8 are provided only on one of the ends. Therefore, the end edge of the back panel 15 on the entrance / exit 16 side does not have the connecting hole 7 and fastening hole 8, making it possible to create a booth with a highly designed design.

[0046] (Regarding Entrance 16) The doorway 16 is formed between the other side panel 5b to which the L-shaped panel 13 is not fixed and the back panel 15. As described above, the doorway 16 can be moved left and right, allowing for a wider range of room arrangement and layout changes to suit the layout of the room. The width L of the doorway 16 is determined by the horizontal length of the extended side panel 14, and is preferably 400 mm to 800 mm.

[0047] [Booth unit layout 1a~1f] The booth unit arrangement structures 1a to 1f according to the present invention are highly soundproof, blocking out sounds from entering from the outside and blocking out voices from entering from the outside, and are optimal for holding web conferences. A booth unit using multiple large booths 1 is mainly installed in a corner of a room or on the entire front of a room.

[0048] As shown in Figures 8 to 10, booth unit arrangement structures 1a to 1f according to the present invention are arranged such that three or more large booths 1 and small booths 2 are adjacent to each other without the small booths 2 being adjacent to each other, and the entire perimeter is surrounded by partition boards 3. The small booths 2 have lower soundproofing than the large booths 1, but by arranging the small booths 2 so that they are not adjacent to each other, it is possible to create a booth unit in which voices leaking from the small booths 2 are less likely to reach the surrounding area. In addition, because the entire perimeter is surrounded by partition boards 3, voices generated within the booths are less likely to leak out, making it possible to create an arrangement structure with high soundproofing.

[0049] Example 1 As shown in Fig. 8(a), the booth unit arrangement structure 1a is a booth unit used by up to three people at the same time, with one small booth 2 between two large booths 1, and one side panel 5a and the other side panel 5b having the same length. One small booth 2 is between two large booths 1 so that the side panels 5 of the large booth 1 and the small booth 2 are attached to each other, and an L-shaped panel 13 is provided so that each entrance / exit 16 of the large booth 1 faces the small booth 2 side.

[0050] A user enters through the entrance 16a of the booth unit arrangement structure 1a and selects an available large booth 1 or small booth 2. Since the small booth 2 is located directly in front of the entrance 16a, the user can immediately tell whether someone else is currently using it. In addition, the large booth 1 can check whether someone else is currently using it by checking whether there is luggage or the like left in the space S.

[0051] In addition, the booths, i.e., the front panels 4, all face the same direction and the booths are not positioned facing each other, so that sounds generated in one booth are unlikely to be transmitted to adjacent booths.

[0052] Example 2 As shown in FIG. 8(b), the booth unit arrangement structure 1b is a booth unit used by a maximum of four people at the same time, and includes three large booths 1 with entrances 16 in the same direction, one small booth 2, and the lengths of the front panel 4, back panel 15, and side panel 5 are the same. By making the lengths of the front panel 4, back panel 15, and side panel 5 the same, there is no difference in length when the panels are combined, creating a sense of unity as a whole and improving the design. The large booth 1 is arranged with the back panel 15 and the other side panel 5b of the large booth 1 bonded together so that the entrances 16 are adjacent to each other, and the small booth 2 is arranged with the side panel 5 of the small booth 2 bonded to the back panel 15 of the large booth 1 so that the extended side panel 14 and the front panel 4 of the small booth 2 are continuous.

[0053] The booth unit arrangement structure 1b has a square shape as a whole. In this embodiment, the entrances 16 of the large booths 1 are all provided on the right side, but they may all be arranged to be on the left side.

[0054] When actually using the booth, the user enters through the entrance 16b of the booth unit arrangement structure 1b and selects an available large booth 1 or small booth 2. The small booth 2 is located immediately to the left of the entrance 16b, so it is easy to tell whether someone else is currently using the booth. The large booth 1 can also tell whether someone else is currently using the booth 1 by checking whether there is luggage or the like left in the space S.

[0055] In addition, the booths, i.e., the front panels 4, all face in different directions and are arranged so that there is no booth in front of another booth, making it difficult for sounds generated within a booth to be transmitted to adjacent booths.

[0056] Example 3 As shown in Figure 9(a), the booth unit arrangement structure 1c is a booth unit that can be used by a maximum of five people at the same time, in which a further large booth 1 is arranged so that the back panel 15 is attached to the back panel 15 of one of the large booths 1 in the booth unit arrangement structure 1a shown in Example 1, and a small booth 2 is arranged adjacent to the other side panel 5b of the large booth 1 and facing the same direction as the top panel 4a of the large booth 1.

[0057] When actually using the booth, the user enters through the entrance 16c of the booth unit arrangement structure 1c and selects an available large booth 1 or small booth 2. As the small booth 2 is located immediately to the left of the entrance 16c, it is easy to tell whether someone else is currently using it. In addition, as for the large booth 1, it is also possible to tell whether someone else is currently using it by checking whether there is luggage or the like left in the space S.

[0058] In addition, the booths are not positioned facing each other, so that sounds generated within a booth are less likely to travel to adjacent booths.

[0059] Example 4 As shown in Fig. 9(b), the booth unit arrangement structure 1d is a booth unit that is generally rectangular and can be used by up to six people at the same time, with two large booths 1 further arranged in the booth unit arrangement structure 1b shown in Example 2. A large booth 1 is further provided so that its back panel 15 is attached to the side panel 5 of the small booth 2 in the booth unit arrangement structure 1a, and another large booth 1 is provided so that its back panel 15 is attached to the other side panel 5b of the large booth 1.

[0060] As the number of people using a booth unit increases, voices speaking within the booth unit become louder, but by increasing the proportion of highly soundproof large booths 1, the booth unit is also highly soundproofed. The booths are positioned so that there are no other booths directly in front of them, making it difficult for voices generated within a booth to be transmitted to adjacent booths.

[0061] Example 5 10(a) shows a booth unit arrangement 1e in which one small booth 2 is used between two large booths 1 in the recess of the room, with the top panels 4a arranged adjacent to each other horizontally with side panels 5 in between, and the large booths 1 are provided with L-shaped panels 13 so that the entrances and exits 16 are on the opposite side to the small booths 2. Even if the entire perimeter is not surrounded by partition panels 3, by using an arrangement in which the inner wall W is located near the entrances and exits 16 of the large booths 1, a similar soundproofing effect can be obtained even if the booth units are not surrounded by partition panels 3.

[0062] The soundproofing effect can be further enhanced by making the inner wall W a soundproof wall. In addition, the booth units are arranged side by side in the arrangement structure 1e so that all the top plates 4a face the same direction. Therefore, since there are no other users in front of the voice of a user, this arrangement structure makes it difficult for the voice to reach other users in adjacent booths.

[0063] Example 6 10(b), an arrangement may be made using only multiple large booths 1 without using small booths 2. In the booth unit arrangement 1f, a large booth 1 having an entrance 16 on the right side is arranged so that four back panels 15 and the other side panel 5b are continuously bonded.

[0064] In the booth unit arrangement 1f, the large booths 1 are arranged so that all the top panels 4a face in different directions. Therefore, even if a user speaks, there are no other users in the front direction of the voice, so the arrangement makes it difficult for the voice to reach other users in adjacent booths.

[0065] The embodiment of the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and may be modified as appropriate without departing from the scope of the concept of the present invention.

[0066] <First feature> The large booth of the present invention is characterized in that it comprises a partition panel that is U-shaped in plan view and includes a front panel and two side panels fixed to both ends of the front panel so as to face each other, a top panel for work that is provided in contact with the inner surfaces of the front panel and the side panels, and sound-absorbing material that is detachably provided on the inner surface of the partition panel above the top panel, and further comprises, as the partition panel, an L-shaped panel including an extended side panel that is continuous with one of the side panels and fixed on the side opposite the front panel, and a back panel that faces the front panel and is fixed so as to be perpendicular to the extended side panel, and an entrance / exit formed between the other of the side panels to which the L-shaped panel is not fixed and the back panel, and the L-shaped panel fixed to one of the side panels is replaceable with the other side panel.

[0067] This feature makes the booth highly soundproof, allowing you to hold web conferences without worrying about surrounding noise.In addition, by removing the L-shaped board, it can be used as a small booth, and by replacing the L-shaped board, the entrance can be easily changed to either the left or right, making it possible to make the booth adaptable to changes in the room layout.

[0068] <Second feature> The booth unit arrangement structure of the present invention is a booth unit arrangement structure using a large booth of the first characteristic, characterized in that the small booths are not adjacent to each other, and three or more of the small booths and large booths are arranged adjacent to each other, and the entire perimeter is surrounded by the partition boards.

[0069] Due to this feature, even if a small booth with lower soundproofing than a large booth is used, surrounding noise will not be a concern, and since the booth is arranged so that the entire perimeter is surrounded by partition boards, a highly soundproof booth unit arrangement structure can be achieved.

[0070] <Third feature> The booth unit arrangement structure of the present invention is a booth unit arrangement structure using a large booth of the first characteristic, characterized in that one small booth is arranged between two large booths so that the side panels are attached to each other, and the large booth is provided with an L-shaped panel so that each of the entrances and exits faces the small booth side.

[0071] This feature allows three people to use the booths within the unit at the same time, and since the small booths are not adjacent to each other and the entire booth unit is surrounded by partitions, the booth unit can be arranged in a highly soundproofing structure.

[0072] <Fourth feature> The booth unit arrangement structure according to the present invention is a booth unit arrangement structure using a large booth according to the first feature, in which three large booths each having an entrance / exit facing the same direction and one small booth are used, and the large booth is arranged with the back panel and the other side panel adhered to each other so that the entrances are adjacent to each other, The small booth is characterized in that the side panel of the small booth is bonded to the rear panel of the large booth so that the extended side panel and the front panel of the small booth are continuous with each other.

[0073] This feature allows four people to use the booths within the unit at the same time, and since the small booths are not adjacent to each other and the entire booth unit is surrounded by partitions, the booth unit can be arranged in a highly soundproofing structure. [Explanation of symbols]
