Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a portable partition that can be carried around. [Background technology]

[0002] Due to the recent COVID-19 pandemic, the installation of partitions to prevent droplets from spreading is being recommended and is being installed in various locations, such as offices and conference rooms, reception areas where customer service is conducted, cafeterias, restaurants, and schools.

[0003] Most ordinary partitions are of the stationary type (for example, Patent Document 1), but there is demand for partitions that can be folded and carried around, and there is a transparent splash-proof fan that can be used as a portable partition (for example, Patent Document 2). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Utility Model Registration No. 3229208 [Patent Document 2] Utility Model Registration No. 3229640 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] Incidentally, when used as a splash prevention partition, the partition needs to be about 400 mm high. Therefore, the splash prevention transparent fan of Patent Document 2 has a longitudinal dimension of 400 mm or more even when folded and stored, making it inconvenient to carry.

[0006] The present invention has been made in consideration of the above circumstances, and aims to provide a portable partition that is compact and easy to carry when stored, and that has a high partition height that can sufficiently enhance the splash prevention effect. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] In order to solve the problem, the portable partition of the present invention comprises a first cylinder, a second cylinder stored inside the first cylinder so that it can be stretched and contracted in a telescopic manner, a third cylinder stored inside the second cylinder with a sheet wrapped around its outer periphery, and a fourth cylinder stored inside the third cylinder so that it can be stretched and contracted in a telescopic manner, and when the third cylinder is removed from the second cylinder, the fourth cylinder is extended from the third cylinder so that it stands on its own with the third cylinder at the bottom, and when the second cylinder is extended from the first cylinder, the second cylinder is extended so that it stands on its own with the second cylinder at the bottom, and the sheet wrapped around the outer periphery of the third cylinder is stretched between the second cylinder and the first cylinder. Effect of the Invention

[0008] The portable partition according to the present invention is compact when stored and easy to carry, and the height of the partition is increased, thereby sufficiently enhancing the splash prevention effect. [Brief description of the drawings]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0010] Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0011] FIG. 1 shows an exploded view of components of a portable partition (hereinafter simply referred to as a partition) 1 according to a first embodiment of the present invention. [Components of Partition 1]

[0012] The partition 1 of this embodiment comprises a first cylinder 2, a second cylinder 3, the inner diameter D1 and outer diameter D2 of the first cylinder 2 being of the same dimensions, which is stored inside the first cylinder 2 so as to be freely expandable and contractable in a telescopic manner, a third cylinder 5, which is stored inside the second cylinder 3 with a sheet 4 wrapped around its outer periphery, a fourth cylinder 6, the inner diameter D3 and outer diameter D4 of the third cylinder 5 being of the same dimensions, which is stored inside the third cylinder 5 so as to be freely expandable and contractable in a telescopic manner, a first leg 7, which is stored inside the fourth cylinder 6, a second leg 8, which is stored inside the first cylinder 2, and a pair of cap members 9 which close the openings at both ends of the first cylinder 2.

[0013] The first cylinder 2 is a paper cylinder with an axial length of about 310 mm. A hook-and-loop fastener portion 10a is attached to the outer periphery of the first cylinder 2, and is adapted to detachably engage with a hook-and-loop fastener portion 10b provided on a sheet to be described later.

[0014] The second cylinder 3 is a paper cylinder with an axial length of about 300 mm, and is housed inside the first cylinder 2 so as to be able to slide freely.

[0015] The third cylinder 5 is a paper cylinder having an outer diameter smaller than the inner diameter of the second cylinder 3 and having approximately the same axial length as the second cylinder 3 .

[0016] The sheet 4 is a film member made of polyethylene terephthalate resin, 75 μm thick, 300 mm wide, and 800 mm long, and its surface is treated with antibacterial and antiviral agents. As shown in Fig. 2, one end 4a of the sheet 4 in the longitudinal direction is fixed to the outer periphery of the third cylinder 5 with double-sided tape or the like, and the other end 4b in the longitudinal direction is provided with a hook-and-loop portion 10b that detachably engages with the hook-and-loop portion 10a described above. The sheet 4 is wrapped around the outer periphery of the third cylinder 5, as shown in Fig. 3.

[0017] The fourth cylinder 6 is a paper cylinder having approximately the same axial length as the third cylinder 5, and is slidably housed inside the third cylinder 5. The first leg 7 housed inside this fourth cylinder 6 is composed of a base 7a that fits into the opening of the fourth cylinder 6, and three legs 7b1 to 7b3 in a tripod shape that are expandably connected to the base 7a.

[0018] The second leg 8 is stored inside the first cylinder 2 together with the second cylinder 3, and is composed of a base 8a that fits into the opening of the second cylinder 3, and three legs 8b1-8b3 in a tripod format that are connected to the base 8a and can be freely deployed.

[0019] The fourth cylinder 6 in which the first leg 7 is housed is housed inside the third cylinder 5 around which the sheet 4 is wrapped, this third cylinder 5 is housed inside the second cylinder 3, the second cylinder 3 together with the second leg 8 is housed inside the first cylinder 2, and a pair of cap members 9 close the openings at both ends of the first cylinder 2, so that all of the members that make up the partition 1 are housed inside the first cylinder 2. [Partition 1 assembly procedure]

[0020] Next, a procedure for independently installing the partition 1 of the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

[0021] First, the pair of cap members 9 are removed from the first cylinder 2, and the third cylinder 5 containing the fourth cylinder 6 and with the sheet 4 wrapped around its outer periphery is removed from inside the first cylinder 2. The second leg 8 is also removed from inside the first cylinder 2. The first leg 7 is also removed from inside the fourth cylinder 6.

[0022] Next, as shown in FIG. 4, the fourth cylinder 6 is extended in a telescopic manner from inside the third cylinder 5, the base 7a of the first leg 7 is fitted into the tip opening of the fourth cylinder 6, and the legs 7b1 to 7b3 are expanded.

[0023] Next, the second cylinder 3 is extended in a telescopic manner from inside the first cylinder 2, the base 8a of the second leg 8 is fitted into the opening at the tip of the second cylinder 3, and the legs 8b1 to 8b3 are expanded.

[0024] Next, legs 7b1-7b3 of first leg 7 are placed on a table, and fourth cylinder 6 is made to stand on its own with third cylinder 5 on top. In addition, legs 8b1-8b3 of second leg 8 are also placed on the table, and second cylinder 3 is made to stand on its own with first cylinder 2 on top.

[0025] Next, the sheet 4 wrapped around the outer periphery of the third cylinder 5 is stretched, and the hook-and-loop portion 10b on the other longitudinal end side 4b of the sheet 4 is attached to the hook-and-loop portion 10a on the outer periphery of the first cylinder 2.

[0026] This allows the partition 1 to be self-supporting with the sheet 4 stretched between the third cylinder 5 and the first cylinder 2. [Effects of Partition 1]

[0027] Next, the effects of the partition 1 of this embodiment will be described.

[0028] In this embodiment, the partition 1 is installed independently on an installation surface such as a table by stretching a sheet 4 between a support consisting of the fourth cylinder 6 and the third cylinder 5 and a support consisting of the second cylinder 3 and the first cylinder 2, and the sheet 4 is installed at a position where the partition height is high between the upper support, the third cylinder 5 and the first cylinder 2, thereby reliably enhancing the splash prevention effect.

[0029] In addition, the first leg 7 is attached to the bottom of the fourth cylinder 6, which is the lower support, and the second leg 8 is attached to the bottom of the second cylinder 3 and stands up above the installation surface, thereby improving the stability of the partition 1 when installed free-standing.

[0030] In addition, the sheet 4 wrapped around the outer periphery of the third cylinder 5 can be stretched out easily by simply attaching the hook-and-loop portion 10b on the other longitudinal end side 4b of the sheet 4 to the hook-and-loop portion 10a on the outer periphery of the first cylinder 2.

[0031] When storing the partition 1, the fourth cylinder 6 containing the first leg 7 is stored inside the third cylinder 5 wrapped with the sheet 4, and this third cylinder 5 is stored inside the second cylinder 3, and this second cylinder 3 together with the second leg 8 is stored inside the first cylinder 2, completing the storage process. In this way, all of the parts of the partition 1 are stored inside the first cylinder 2, making it possible to provide a partition 1 that is compact and easy to carry.

[0032] In the first embodiment, the hook-and-loop fastener portion 10a and the hook-and-loop fastener portion 10b are used as a means for removably attaching the other longitudinal end of the sheet 4 to the outer periphery of the first cylinder 2, but other means may be used to removably attach the other longitudinal end of the sheet 4 and the outer periphery of the first cylinder 2.

[0033] Furthermore, the first leg 7 and the second leg 8 are not limited to the structure having the three-legged legs 7b1-7b3, 8b1-8b3 described above, but may be a simpler structure, such as a structure in which flat plates are combined in a cross shape, which improves the self-supporting stability of the fourth cylinder 6 and the second cylinder 3.

[0034] In addition, in the first embodiment, when the partition 1 is stored, the first leg 7 is stored in the fourth cylinder 6 and the second leg 8 is stored in the first cylinder 2, but the first leg 7 and the second leg 8 may also be stored in other cylinders.

[0035] Furthermore, in the first embodiment, the first cylinder 2, the second cylinder 3, the third cylinder 5 and the fourth cylinder 6 are made of paper, but they may be made of, for example, synthetic resin. [Explanation of symbols]
