Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0014] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. It should be noted that the following description of the preferred embodiments is merely illustrative in nature and is not intended to limit the present invention, its applications, or its uses.

[0015] 《Embodiment 1 of the Invention》 FIGS. 1 to 3 show a wooden partition 1 according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. The partition 1 divides a predetermined space such as an office or an exhibition hall into two areas, and includes a pair of partition boards 2 having a substantially disk shape with the plate surfaces facing in the horizontal direction, and a support 3 that detachably supports the two partition boards 2.

[0016] As shown in FIG. 4, the partition board 2 is formed with a slit portion 2a whose plate surface faces in the horizontal direction and extends linearly downward from the central portion of the partition board 2 and opens at the lower end. At the opposite end of the open portion in the slit portion 2a, a notch recess 2b having a semi-circular shape in a front view is formed.

[0017] As shown in FIG. 5, the support 3 includes a disk-shaped support plate portion 4 whose center line extends in the vertical direction and can be placed on the floor surface, and a support column portion 5 that extends linearly upward from the central portion of the support plate portion 4. A pair of the support column portions 5 are provided at a predetermined interval in the horizontal direction.

[0018] The support column portion 5 has a substantially rectangular frame shape in a front view, and includes a pair of vertical rod portions 5a that are spaced apart from each other in the horizontal direction and extend parallel to each other in the vertical direction, an upper end portion 5b that is substantially C-shaped and opens downward in a front view and connects the upper ends of the two vertical rod portions 5a, and a lower end portion 5c that is substantially C-shaped and opens upward in a front view and connects the lower ends of the two vertical rod portions 5a.

[0019] In the portion surrounded by the two vertical rod portions 5a, the upper end portion 5b, and the lower end portion 5c, an opening 5d penetrating in the juxtaposing direction of the two support columns 5 is formed, and the width dimension of the opening 5d is set smaller than the width dimension of the slit portion 2a.

[0020] Also, the inner peripheral edge portion of the upper end portion 5b has a shape corresponding to the inner peripheral edge portion of the notch recess 2b of the partition plate 2.

[0021] Between the upper ends of the two support columns 5 and between the lower parts slightly below the vertical center, extending portions 6 extending horizontally and bridging the two support columns 5 are respectively provided.

[0022] As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the extending portion 6 has a first rod-shaped portion 6a bridging the one vertical rod portions 5a of each support column 5 and a second rod-shaped portion 6b bridging the other vertical rod portions 5a of each support column 5. Protrusions 6c and 6d protruding upward are respectively provided at the central portions in the longitudinal direction on the upper surfaces of the first rod-shaped portion 6a and the second rod-shaped portion 6b.

[0023] The dimensions between one support column 5 and the protrusions 6c and 6d, and between the other support column 5 and the protrusions 6c and 6d are set to values corresponding to the plate thickness of each partition plate 2.

[0024] When each partition plate 2 is attached to the support 3, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the slit portions 2a of each partition plate 2 are externally fitted to the respective extending portions 6 from the open portions, and the opposite-side inner ends in the slit portions 2a are hooked on the respective extending portions 6, so that the support 3 supports the two partition plates 2.

[0025] Specifically, the support 3 supports one partition plate 2 on one support column 5 side with respect to the protrusions 6c and 6d in the first rod-shaped portion 6a and the second rod-shaped portion 6b of the extending portion 6 located on the lower side, while supporting the other partition plate 2 on the other support column 5 side with respect to the protrusions 6c and 6d in the first rod-shaped portion 6a and the second rod-shaped portion 6b of the extending portion 6 located on the upper side. The two partition plates 2 supported by the support 3 overlap in part in a front view.

[0026] Also, when the support 3 supports each partition plate 2, as shown in FIG. 2, the opening 5d of each support column portion 5 is configured to be at a position corresponding to the slit portion 2a of each partition plate 2, and two window portions 7 are formed in the partition 1 by the opening 5d of both support column portions 5 and the slit portion 2a of each partition plate 2.

[0027] Next, the procedure for partitioning a predetermined space into two regions using the partition 1 of Embodiment 1 of the present invention will be described in detail.

[0028] First, as shown in FIG. 7, after the user installs the support 3 on the floor surface of the space to be partitioned into two regions, the user grips one partition plate 2 with the open portion of the slit portion 2a facing obliquely downward, and then moves the one partition plate 2 obliquely downward toward both support column portions 5 and externally fits the slit portion 2a onto the support column portion 5 located below from the open portion.

[0029] Next, as shown in FIG. 8, the user rotates one partition plate 2 clockwise on the plane of the paper in FIG. 8 around the notch recess 2b so that the slit portion 2a is in an open position downward, and then lowers it to hook the opposite end of the open portion of the slit portion 2a on the side of one support column portion 5 with respect to the protrusions 6c and 6d in the first rod-shaped portion 6a and the second rod-shaped portion 6b of the lower extension portion 6. Then, the support 3 is in a state of supporting one partition plate 2.

[0030] Next, the user grips the other partition plate 2 above the support 3 with the open portion of the slit portion 2a facing downward, and then moves it downward and externally fits the slit portion 2a onto the support column portion 5 located above from the open portion.

[0031] Thereafter, the user hooks the opposite end of the open portion of the slit portion 2a on the other support column portion 5 side with respect to the protrusions 6c and 6d in the first rod-shaped portion 6a and the second rod-shaped portion 6b of the upper extension portion 6. Then, the support 3 supports the other partition plate 2, and the partition 1 is completed. At this time, each region partitioned by the partition 1 communicates with the opening 5d of each support column portion 5 and the slit portion 2a of each partition plate 2, and this portion becomes a window portion 7 through which one region can be visually recognized from the other region. Therefore, not only can the design of the partition 1 be enhanced, but also the sense of closure in each region partitioned by the partition 1 can be alleviated.

[0032] Note that the disassembly operation of the partition 1 is only to perform the above-described assembly operation of the partition 1 in the reverse order, so detailed description thereof is omitted.

[0033] As described above, according to the first embodiment of the present invention, the partition plate 2 and the support 3 can be assembled only by hooking the slit portion 2a of the partition plate 2 on the extension portion 6 of the support 3, and the partition plate 2 partitions a predetermined space into two regions. On the other hand, the user can disassemble the partition plate 2 and the support 3 and carry them separately by simply gripping the partition plate 2 and lifting the partition plate 2 to separate the slit portion 2a from the extension portion 6. In this way, since the assembly and disassembly are simple and the assembly and disassembly operations can be performed in a short time, the transfer of the partition 1 when partitioning a desired space into two regions can be easily performed.

[0034] In addition, since the slit portion 2a of each partition plate 2 can be hooked at a position separated by the protrusions 6c and 6d in the extension portion 6, the support 3 can support each partition plate 2 in a positional relationship such that they overlap in the plate thickness direction. Therefore, the design of the partition 1 can be changed in depth, and the partition 1 can have a more characteristic design.

[0035] In addition, when assembling Partition 1, the same-shaped support columns 5 are positioned on both sides in the plate thickness direction of each partition plate 2. Therefore, since the shape of Partition 1 seen from each region partitioned by Partition 1 is substantially the same, it is possible to prevent a difference in the atmosphere of each partitioned region.

[0036] 《Embodiment 2 of the Invention》 FIGS. 9 and 10 show Partition 1 of Embodiment 2 of the present invention. In this Embodiment 2, since it is the same as Embodiment 1 except that the structure of one partition plate 2 is different from that of Embodiment 1, the same reference numerals are given to the same parts as in Embodiment 1, and only the different parts will be described below.

[0037] One partition plate 2 of Embodiment 2 is substantially square in a front view, and its outer peripheral shape is different from that of each partition plate 2 of Embodiment 1.

[0038] The slit portion 2a in one partition plate 2 of Embodiment 2 extends linearly downward from the central portion of the partition plate 2 and opens at the central portion of the lower end edge portion extending in the horizontal direction in the partition plate 2.

[0039] Note that the assembly work and disassembly work of Partition 1 are the same as those in Embodiment 1 except that the outer peripheral shape of one partition plate 2 is different, and thus detailed description thereof will be omitted.

[0040] As described above, according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention, it is possible to change the hanging positions of the two partition plates 2 with different outer shapes with respect to the two provided extending portions 6 into two types of patterns. Therefore, the user can attach each partition plate 2 to the support 3 at a position that suits his / her preference and enjoy it.

[0041] Note that in Embodiments 1 and 2 of the present invention, a pair of support columns 5 of the support 3 are provided, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and a structure may be adopted in which the extending portion 6 extends laterally from one support column 5.

[0042] In addition, in Embodiments 1 and 2 of the present invention, two extension portions 6 are provided and two partition plates 2 are prepared. However, three or more extension portions 6 may be provided, or three or more partition plates 2 may be prepared. If more extension portions 6 are provided than partition plates 2, the patterns of hanging each partition plate 2 on each extension portion 6 increase, and the user can attach each partition plate 2 to a position of his / her preferred design with respect to the support 3 and enjoy it.

[0043] In addition, in Embodiments 1 and 2 of the present invention, one protrusion 6c and 6d are provided on the first rod-shaped portion 6a and the second rod-shaped portion 6b, respectively. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and two or more protrusions may be provided in the extending directions of the first rod-shaped portion 6a and the second rod-shaped portion 6b, respectively, and the dimension between the protrusions 6c may be set to a value corresponding to the plate thickness of the partition plate 2.

[0044] In addition, in Embodiments 1 and 2 of the present invention, the support column portion 5 has a rectangular frame shape. However, as long as it can support the partition plate 2, other shapes may be used.

[0045] In addition, in Embodiments 1 and 2 of the present invention, each partition plate 2 and the support 3 are formed of wood which is a material to be transparent. However, for example, they may be formed of a transparent resin material, a metal material, or a glass material.

[0046] In addition, in Embodiments 1 and 2 of the present invention, the outer peripheral shape of the partition plate 2 is circular or square. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and it may be rectangular, triangular, or star-shaped.

Industrial Applicability

[0047] The present invention is suitable for, for example, a partition for partitioning a predetermined indoor or outdoor space into two areas and a method for assembling the partition.
