Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a movable partition structure for living spaces in apartment houses and detached houses.

Background Art

[0002] Conventionally, for example, in living spaces in apartment houses, room layouts have been formed by partitioning with partition walls. The types of partition walls include fixed or movable types, and they were sometimes determined according to the location, function, and use of the individual spaces forming the room layout. Movable partition walls can be partitioned freely according to the preferences and convenience of the residents, and were sometimes adopted in consideration of the utilization of other adjacent individual spaces.

[0003] For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a movable partition structure that aggregates all plumbing facilities in one place to increase the degree of freedom in changing the room layout. Specifically, the movable partition structure includes a movable partition that partitions the plumbing facilities and a free space area, a storage unit that stores the movable partition, and a rail mechanism for arranging the movable partition. Each individual rail constituting the rail mechanism is provided at a position where the free space area is further partitioned by the movable partition into a predetermined area.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0005] However, in Patent Document 1, among the plumbing facilities, only the kitchen is adjacent to the free space area via the movable partition, and the cooking counter faces away from the free space area, and cooking is performed with the back turned to the free space area. Therefore, the scope of the kitchen is unclear. That is, the movable partition in Patent Document 1 partitions the kitchen and does not make it possible to freely partition the partitioned kitchen and other spaces.

[0006] The inventors assume that there is a causal relationship between the convenience and comfort of each individual space with functions and uses such as the kitchen and the correlation between adjacent individual spaces. That is, if the partitioned individual spaces can be freely partitioned, not only will the correlation between the individual spaces be improved, but the convenience and comfort of each individual space will also be improved. Thus, the inventors have arrived at the idea of solving the problems specific to residents who desire to improve the interpersonal relationships and lifestyle within the living space.

[0007] For example, in the case of a floor plan where two or more groups of individual spaces adjacent in series are adjacent in parallel, if the individual spaces included in both groups of individual spaces adjacent in parallel can be freely partitioned and the correlation between the individual spaces is improved, not only will the convenience and comfort of each of the individual spaces be improved, but it is also expected to lead to an improvement in the correlation between the individual spaces adjacent in series.

[0008] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a movable partition structure that can be freely partitioned and adjacent to improve the correlation between individual spaces, thereby also improving the convenience and comfort of each of the individual spaces and improving the interpersonal relationships and lifestyle within the living space.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0009] That is, the present invention is a movable partition structure that partitions the living space into individual spaces. The individual spaces include a first space, a second space, a third space, and a fourth space. The first space and the second space are adjacent to each other. The third space and the fourth space are adjacent to each other. The first space and the third space are adjacent to each other and can be partitioned by a first movable partition wall. The second space and the fourth space are adjacent to each other and can be partitioned by a second movable partition wall. The first movable partition wall and the second movable partition wall can be arranged along a rail. The rail has at least a first rail that extends from the first space to the second space and a second rail that intersects the first rail at a right angle. The second rail leads to a pocket provided adjacent to the first space and / or the second space. The pocket is provided between the first space and the second space. The first movable partition wall and the second movable partition wall can be stored in the pocket via the first rail and the second rail. The orientations of the first movable partition wall and the second movable partition wall are Plan view constant with respect to the opening of the pocket. The first movable partition wall and the second movable partition wall preferably do not include hinged doors. The pocket is provided on the side of the first space or the second space. At least one of the first movable partition wall and the second movable partition wall includes a hinged door. In a plan view, parallel to the first rail

Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0014] Hereinafter, with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, a movable partition structure (hereinafter, also referred to as "the present movable partition structure") in one embodiment of the present invention will be described. In these figures, for a plurality of identical parts existing, there are also parts numbered only for one part. For convenience of explanation, there are also parts where a predetermined part and the extension line of this part are indicated by a hidden line (broken line) or an imaginary line (two-dot chain line). In the description, terms indicating directions such as upward, downward, sideward, vertical direction, and horizontal direction are basically based on a normal living space.

[0015] <Overview of the Living Space> As shown in FIG. 1, the present movable partition structure is formed by freely partitioning adjacent individual spaces within a living space R corresponding to one room in an apartment house. The living space R is a rectangular 3LDK having a long side and a short side, but it may also be a 2LDK or a 4LDK, and the shape, floor plan, size, etc. are not limited, but a floor plan in which groups of individual spaces in which two or more individual spaces are adjacent in series are adjacent in parallel may also be used.

[0016] <Examples of Individual Spaces> The individual spaces include, for example, the living rooms 1 and 2 corresponding to the first space and the second space, the living-dining room 3 corresponding to the third space, and the kitchen 4 corresponding to the fourth space. As other spaces, there may be included an entrance hall R1, a corridor R2, a toilet R3, a washroom and dressing room R4, a bathroom R5, a service room R6, and storage areas such as closets, storage rooms, and shoe boxes (not shown). The living rooms 1 and 2 may have different functions and uses, or may be free spaces without functions and uses.

[0017] <Relationship between individual spaces> The living room 1 and the living room 2 are adjacent in series in the longitudinal direction of the living space R via a fixed partition wall W1, and may also be adjacent via a storage area such as a closet that includes a part of the partition wall W1. The living-dining room 3 and the kitchen 4 are adjacent in series in the longitudinal direction of the living space R without a partition wall. The living rooms 1 and 2 may be included in the first group of individual spaces, and the living-dining room 3 and the kitchen 4 may be included in the second group of individual spaces, and they may or may not be adjacent via a passageway.

[0018] The living room 1 and the living-dining room 3 are adjacently partitionable by a first movable partition wall 5 formed of a plurality of panels. The first movable partition wall 5 may be provided at the boundary between the living room 1 and the living-dining room 3, and may also be a partition wall that opens and closes the living room 1. The width 1a of the living room 1 and / or the width 5a of the first movable partition wall 5 may be substantially equal to the width 3a of the living-dining room 3, or may be wider or narrower than the width 3a of the living-dining room 3 by the width of other spaces or structures. The living-dining room 3 may not have an entrance to an adjacent other space and may be always open.

[0019] The living room 2 and the kitchen 4 are adjacently partitioned by a second movable partition wall 6 formed of a plurality of panels so as to be partitionable. The second movable partition wall 6 may be provided at the boundary between the living room 2 and the kitchen 4, and may also serve as a partition for opening and closing the living room 2. The width 2a of the living room 2 and / or the width 6a of the second movable partition wall 6 may be substantially equal to the width 4a of the kitchen 4, and may be wider or narrower than the width 4a of the kitchen 4 by the width of other spaces or structures associated with the position change of the movable closet F1.

[0020] <Details of the kitchen> The kitchen 4 includes an entrance 41 and a cooking counter 42. The entrance 41 is provided at a position facing the living room 2, and may be always open, or may be provided with a sliding door or a hinged door and opened as needed. The cooking counter 41 is provided on the side of the living-dining room 3, and cooking in the kitchen 4 is performed in a state facing the living-dining room 3. That is, the kitchen 4 is located at a position that realizes two-way communication with the living-dining room 3 in normal use.

[0021] <Overview of the movable partition wall> The first movable partition wall 5 and the second movable partition wall 6 are arranged slidably on a rail 7. The rail 7 is disposed on the ceiling of the living space R, located on the side of the living room 1 and the side of the living room 2. The first movable partition wall 5 and the second movable partition wall 6 are suspended in the air by a hoist on the rail 7 and are not in contact with the floor, but may be in contact with the floor via a predetermined caster. The rail 7 has at least a first rail 71 extending from the living room 1 to the living room 2 and a second rail 72 intersecting the first rail 71.

[0022] <Details of the rail> The first rail 71 is linearly arranged such that the first movable partition wall 5 and the second movable partition wall 6 are in series, and has a length approximately equal to the sum of the width 1a of the living room 1 and the width 2a of the living room 2. The second rail 72 is linear and in a pair of two, and may be arranged in parallel at an interval narrower than the width of each panel forming the first movable partition wall 5 and each panel forming the second movable partition wall 6, and may be composed of three or more or one. The second rail 72 communicates with the door pocket 8 adjacent to the living room 1 and the living room 2, and may be arranged up to the innermost end of the door pocket 8. The first rail 71 is Plan view parallel to and adjacent to the opening 81 of the door pocket 8, and the second rail is In a plan view orthogonal to the first rail 71 and / or the opening 81 of the door pocket 8.

[0023] <Function and Effect of this Movable Partition Structure> According to these configurations, when the first movable partition wall 5 is stored in the door pocket 8, the living room 1 and the living / dining room 3 become integrated, so that they can be treated as a single living / dining room. Further, when the second movable partition wall 6 is stored in the door pocket 8, the living room 2 and the kitchen 4 at least communicate with each other, so that they can be treated as a floor plan that realizes two-way communication in normal use.

[0024] Specifically, after the first movable partition wall 5 and the second movable partition wall 6 are sequentially slid along the first rail 71 to the opening 81 of the door pocket 8, they can be easily stored by sliding inward from the opening 81 of the door pocket 8 along the second rail 72, and can be easily taken out in the reverse procedure. Further, if only the first movable partition wall 5 or the second movable partition wall 6 is stored in the door pocket 8, it is possible to partition the living room 1 and the living / dining room 3, or to partition the living room 2 and the kitchen 4 and make a selection.

[0025] <Details of the Movable Partition Wall> As shown in Fig. 2, the first movable partition wall 5 is formed to be connectable by the first movable panels 51, 52, 53, 54 (hereinafter also referred to as "the first movable panels 51 etc.") from the side closer to the door pocket 8, and the second movable partition wall 6 is formed to be connectable by the second movable panels 61, 62, 63 (hereinafter also referred to as "the second movable panels 61 etc.") from the side closer to the door pocket 8. The thickness and width of the first movable panels 51 etc. and the second movable panels 61 etc. are uniform, but they may be non-uniform as long as they can all be stored in the door pocket 8, and the number, thickness, and width are not limited. At the lower ends of the first movable panels 51 etc. and the second movable panels 61 etc., a fixing flange that can be inserted and removed into a receiving member embedded in the floor and recessed by pressing may be attached. None of the first movable panels 51 etc. and the second movable panels 61 etc. need to be provided with an openable and closable hinge-type door attached with a part cut out.

[0026] <Details of the door pocket> The door pocket 8 is located between the living room 1 and the living room 2, is box-shaped, and its position, shape, and dimensions are not limited as long as it has a width and depth that allow the first movable panels 51 etc. and the second movable panels 61 etc. to be stacked and taken in and out. It may be on the living room 1 side or the living room 2 side of the partition wall W1, may have the same width as the storage area of the living room 1, and may be adjacent. That is, since the door pocket 8 can be provided within the area of the living room 1 or the living room 2, space saving can also be expected.

[0027] <Another function and effect of this movable partition structure> According to these configurations, in a state where the first movable partition wall 5 partitions the living room 1 and the living and dining room 3, since the first movable panel 51 also serves as a sliding door that can slide toward the door pocket 8, it is possible to move between the living room 1 and other spaces through the first movable panel 51. Also, in a state where the second movable partition wall 6 partitions the living room 2 and the kitchen 4, since the second movable panel 61 also serves as a sliding door that can slide toward the door pocket 8, it is possible to move between the living room 2 and other spaces through the second movable panel 61. Furthermore, if the first movable panels 51 etc. and the second movable panels 61 etc. do not have hinge-type doors, cost reduction of the members can also be expected.

[0028] <Auxiliary members of the movable partition wall> As shown in Fig. 2, the first movable panel 51 and the second movable panel 61 have stoppers 51a and 61a that protrude or retract on the indoor side of the living room 1 and the indoor side of the living room 2 near the end on the side opposite to the door pocket 8 in a partitioned state while the first movable panel 51 and the second movable panel 61 are not stored in the door pocket 8. The stoppers 51a and 61a protrude in the above partitioned state, retract in the state of being stored in the door pocket 8, and may protrude again due to the pressing from the door stop 82 when taken out from the door pocket 8.

[0029] <Function and effect of accessory member> According to these configurations, in the state where the first movable panel 51 and the second movable panel 61 also serve as a sliding door, before they are pulled too much more than necessary and the first movable panel 51 and the second movable panel 61 collide with each other, or a person's hand is pinched between the first movable panel 51 or the second movable panel 61 and the door stop 82, the stoppers 51a and 61a hit the door stop 82, so that damage and accidents can be avoided.

[0030] Next, while referring to Fig. 3, another movable partition structure in an embodiment of the present invention will be described, and parts different from the above-described movable partition structure will be explained, and the explanation of equivalent parts will be omitted. Parts or sites equivalent to those shown in Figs. 1 and 2 are given numbers related to Figs. 1 and 2 in Fig. 3 for easy reference.

[0031] <Details of another movable partition structure> As shown in Fig. 3, the door pocket 800 is on the side of the living room 200 opposite to the living room 100 and on the other space side of the partition wall W2 between the living room 200 and another space, but it may also be on the living room 200 side. The first rail 710 of the rail 700 is provided from the living room 100 across the living room 200 to the door pocket 800. At least the first movable panel 510 of the first movable partition wall 500 is provided with a hinged door 510a. On the other hand, the second movable panel 610 etc. of the second movable partition wall 600 do not necessarily have to be provided with hinged doors.

[0032] <Function and effect of another movable partition structure> According to this configuration, when the first movable panel 510 etc. partitions the living room 100 and the living-dining room 300 and the second movable panel 610 etc. partitions the living room 200 and the kitchen 400, since the first movable panel 510 adjacent to the second movable partition wall 600 cannot also serve as a sliding door, one can move between the living room 100 and other spaces via the hinged door 510a. On the other hand, since the second movable panel 630 closest to the door pocket 800 can also serve as a sliding door, one can move between the living room 200 and other spaces via the second movable panel 630 even without a hinged door.

[0033] Also, when not partitioning the living room 100 and the living-dining room 300 and only partitioning the living room 200 and the kitchen 400, all or part of the second movable partition wall 600 is stored in the door pocket 800 and the first movable partition wall 500 slides. Even if the total width of the first movable partition wall 500 and the total width of the second movable partition wall 600 are not equal, it can be easily partitioned.

[0034] For example, as shown in FIG. 3, when the total width of the first movable partition wall 500 is wider than the total width of the second movable partition wall 600, the first movable panel 510 of the first movable partition wall 500 is stored in the door pocket 800, and it is sufficient if the total width of the remaining first movable panels 520, 530, 540 is equal to the total width of the second movable partition wall 600.

[0035] On the other hand, when the total width of the first movable partition wall 500 is narrower than the total width of the second movable partition wall 600, for example, the second movable panels 620, 630 of the second movable partition wall 600 are stored in the door pocket 800, and it is sufficient if the total width of the remaining second movable panel 610 and the first movable panels 510 etc. is equal to the total width of the second movable partition wall 600.

[0036] That is, even if the total width of the first movable partition wall 500 and the total width of the second movable partition wall 600 are not equal, by adding and subtracting the widths of the respective movable panels, the total width of the partition wall after sliding can be adjusted to the total width required for partitioning, and it is easier to adjust if the widths of the respective movable panels are equal.

[0037] Note that the movable partition structure shown in this embodiment is not limited to the above-described content, and includes the position, shape, and dimensions of any part and the relationship between parts as long as the same effect can be obtained.
