Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention 、 relates to an assembly structure of a booth.

Background Art

[0002] In recent years, with the diversification of office work, there has been a demand for partitioning office spaces with booths composed of connecting multiple panels to form a private space where work can be concentrated, and booths for this purpose have been proposed and put into practical use (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2).

[0003] By the way, since the conventional booth has a structure in which the upper and lower ends of adjacent panels are connected and assembled using a connector, it is necessary to lift the heavy panels many times or reverse the up and down during assembly, which involves heavy work.

[0011] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the assembly structure of the booth of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0012] 1 to 7 show an embodiment of the assembly structure of the booth of the present invention. The assembly structure of this booth includes a first panel 1A erected on a floor surface, and a second panel 1B and a third panel 1C (here, the first panel 1A, the second panel 1B, and the third panel 1C are collectively referred to as panels 1) connected to both ends in the width direction of the first panel 1A at an angle of 90°. , with respect to the direction in which the tip extends Bend it at a 45° angle. moreover, The tip , 135° to the direction in which the tip extends The panel is constructed from two steel plates 11, 12 which have been bent in a circumferential direction to form folded-back portions 11a, 12a, which are joined together facing each other so that a gap 10 is formed between the opposing folded-back portions 11a, 12a, and angle-shaped upper and lower connectors 2, 3 which have portions 21, 31 to prevent slipping out of the gap 10 are fitted across the first panel 1A and the second panel 1B, and the first panel 1A and the third panel 1C, whose widthwise ends are butted against each other.

[0013] Here, as shown in Figure 5, panel 1 has a sound-insulating panel made of a painted steel plate 11 on one surface side (usually the outside of the booth) and a sound-absorbing panel made of a steel plate 12 with its surface covered with cloth 13 on the other surface side (usually the inside of the booth), with sound-absorbing material 14 interposed between them, and fitting portions 11b, 12b formed on steel plate 11 and steel plate 12 fitting together to form a single unit. Then, both ends of the two steel plates 11 and 12 in the width direction are , with respect to the direction in which the tip extends Bend it at a 45° angle. moreover, The tip , 135° to the direction in which the tip extends The folded portion 11a is folded toward the opposite side to form folded portions 11a and 12a, and a gap 10 is formed between the facing folded portions 11a and 12a. At both ends of the lower part of the panel 1, an adjuster sleeve is provided so that a fixed installation member or a caster can be selectively attached as a ground contact member 15.

[0014] Hereinafter, the assembly structure of the booth using the panel 1, that is, the first panel 1A, the second panel 1B, and the third panel 1C, will be described along with the assembly procedure.

[0015] As shown in the column of components in Figure 1, prepare the components that constitute the booth.

[0016] The first panel 1A and the second panel 1B are raised (step 1 in FIG. 1), and the widthwise ends of the first panel 1A and the second panel 1B are butted against each other (step 2 in FIG. 1). At this time, the first panel 1A and the second panel 1B form an angle of approximately 90°. Additionally, the setscrews (truss) 17 that were screwed into the female threaded portions 16 formed at both ends of the upper portions of the first panel 1A and the second panel 1B are removed.

[0017] An angle-shaped lower connector 3 having a portion 31 preventing it from slipping out of the gap 10 is installed across the first panel 1A and the second panel 1B, whose widthwise ends are butted together, and is allowed to move downward along the gap 10 (step 3 in Figure 1, step 4 in Figure 2).

[0018] An angle-shaped upper connector 2 having a prevention portion 21 to prevent it from slipping out of the gap 10 is installed across the first panel 1A and the second panel 1B whose widthwise ends are butted together, and is moved downward along the gap 10 until the stop plate 22 formed on the upper connector 2 abuts against the top surfaces of the first panel 1A and the second panel 1B (steps 5 and 6 in Figure 2).

[0019] The lower connector 3 is moved to the lower end of the gap 10 (step 7 in FIG. 2). As a result, the lower connector 3 comes into contact with and is supported by the adjuster sleeves that are provided as ground contact members 15 on the first panel 1A and the second panel 1B (FIG. 7).

[0020] The upper connector 2 is moved until the retaining plate 22 formed on the upper connector 2 abuts the top surfaces of the first panel 1A and the second panel 1B, and then fixed in place by screwing the set screw (countersunk) 18 into the female threaded portions 16 formed on both upper ends of the first panel 1A and the second panel 1B (step 8 in Figure 2). As a result, the upper connector 2 is fixed to the upper parts of the first panel 1A and the second panel 1B via the retaining plate 22 formed on the upper connector 2 (FIG. 6).

[0021] By carrying out the above steps 1 to 8 for the first panel 1A and the third panel 1C, a booth having a U-shaped plan view is assembled (step 9 in FIG. 2).

[0022] Gap-hiding members 41 to 44 are attached between the first panel 1A and the second panel 1B, and between the first panel 1A and the third panel 1C, whose widthwise ends are butted against each other (steps 10 and 11 in Figure 3). This gap-hiding member consists of gap-hiding members 41, 42 made of a strip-shaped sheet material arranged in the middle of the gap 10, and gap-hiding members 43, 44 made of molded products fitted to the upper connector 2 and the lower connector 3. Here, the ends of the gap concealing members 41 and 42 are fixed using gap concealing members 43 and 44 and a seal 45. This makes the gap 10 less noticeable, improving the design of the booth. Furthermore, cap members 46 are attached to the upper ends of the widthwise ends (free ends) of the second panel 1B and the third panel 1C (step 12 in FIG. 3).

[0023] Incidentally, the panel 1 is provided with embedded nuts 19 in two stages, upper and lower, so that the workbench 5 can be attached at different mounting heights and locations. Then, the bracket 6 is attached to the position where the embedded nut 19 is provided using a mounting screw (not shown) (step 13 in Figure 4), the workbench 5 is attached to the bracket 6, and the wiring support 7 is attached to the workbench 5 in that order (steps 14 and 15 in Figure 4). Here, unused embedded nuts 19 are covered with blind stickers 8 to make them less noticeable.

[0024] In this embodiment, a booth having a U-shaped planar shape has been described. However, a fourth panel (not shown) having a width of 1 / 2 to 1 / 5 of the width of panel 1 can be attached parallel to the first panel 1A to the open side of the booth, i.e., the free widthwise end of the second panel 1B or the third panel 1C, by performing steps 1 to 12 above. In this case, the workbench 5 can also be attached along the width direction of the second panel 1B or the third panel 1C.

[0025] According to this booth assembly structure, by butting the widthwise ends of adjacent panels 1 together and installing angle-shaped upper and lower connectors 2, 3 which have anti-slip portions 21, 31 formed between the two panels 1, the booth can be assembled without having to repeatedly lift the heavy panel 1 or turn it upside down. This reduces the workload of the booth assembly work and enables the booth to be assembled with high precision.

[0026] As described above, the booth of the present invention has been described based on its embodiments. However, the present invention is not limited to the configurations described in the above embodiments, and its configuration can be appropriately changed without departing from the spirit thereof.

Industrial Applicability

[0027] Since the assembly structure of the booth of the present invention can be assembled without repeatedly lifting heavy panels, it can be widely used for booths that partition office spaces and constitute private spaces where work can be concentrated.
