Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a panel body connecting structure and connecting method for assembling a pair of panel bodies in a continuous manner with a gap between the lower end edges and the floor surface. [Background technology]

[0002] Generally, when a booth (small room) such as a toilet booth or shower booth is partitioned and formed with a panel body, the panel body is formed by assembling adjacent panel sections so that they are connected in a continuous manner, and the lower edge of the panel body is sometimes configured so that there is a gap above the floor surface to prevent the panel body from coming into contact with water when water flows on the floor surface. To address these issues, known methods include connecting the left and right edge portions of adjacent panel portions in a continuous manner using an H-shaped joint material, making it easy to form a panel body in which the panel portions are connected together without allowing the inside and outside to be seen (see, for example, Patent Document 1), and also installing a height-adjustable adjuster between the bottom edge portion of the panel portion and the floor surface, making it possible to adjust the height of the panel portion (see, for example, Patent Document 2).

[0004] However, when attempting to interpose a joint material between adjacent panel portions, if the lower edge of the joint material is left in its cut state for purposes such as sizing, not only will the lower edge be sharp, but burrs may remain. If such a joint material is incorporated into the panel body in this state, there is a risk that a foot or luggage may inadvertently come into contact with the lower edge and be injured. To prevent this from happening, it is necessary to remove the sharp parts and burrs by, for example, chamfering the lower edge, but performing this work each time poses the problem of being tedious and complicated, making it less efficient to do. Furthermore, in the case where the panel body is constructed by adjacent panel sections being adjacent to each other in a state where the height can be adjusted by an adjuster, when adjacent panel sections are connected to form the panel body, the adjuster is adjusted so that the heights of the adjacent panel sections are the same. However, this adjustment work requires the height to be adjusted visually so that the lower edge of the panel section to be attached subsequently matches the lower edge of the panel section that was assembled first, which makes the work inefficient, and these are the problems that the present invention aims to solve. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances and with the aim of solving these problems. The invention of claim 1 relates to a panel body connection structure configured to connect mutually opposing left and right edge portions of adjacent first and second panel portions via a joint material in a state in which the lower edge portions of each panel portion are spaced apart from the floor surface, wherein a cap material is attached to the lower edge portion of the second panel portion so as to cover the lower edge portion of the joint material and reach the lower edge portion of the first panel portion. The cap member has a protruding piece that protrudes upward, and the protruding piece is disposed on a side surface of the second panel portion that faces the first panel portion, and is fixed to the side surface with a screw. The panel body connecting structure is characterized by the above. The invention of claim 2 is characterized in that the vertical frame of the second panel portion is formed of a long plate material that reaches the lower edge of the second panel portion, and the protruding piece of the cap material is fixed to the vertical frame orthogonally with a screw. 1 This is a connection structure of the panel body described above. The invention of claim 3 is as follows: In a panel connection structure configured to connect adjacent first and second panel sections by means of a joint material at their opposing left and right edge portions with the lower edge portions of each panel section spaced apart from the floor surface, the joint material is H-shaped and has a web and a pair of flanges, and both sides of the web serve as mounting grooves into which the opposing left and right edge portions of the first and second panel sections are fitted, connecting the left and right edge portions of the first and second panel sections with the pair of flanges protruding from the front and rear panel surfaces of the first and second panel sections, while attaching a cap material to the lower edge portion of the second panel section, extending down to the lower edge of the first panel section, in a manner covering the lower edge portion of the joint material, the cap material covers the entire lower edge portion of the joint material, including the flanges protruding from the front and rear panel surfaces of the first and second panel sections. The panel body connecting structure is characterized by the above. The invention of claim 4 is characterized in that the cap member is fixed to the lower edge of the second panel portion from below with a screw. 3 This is a connection structure of the panel body described above. The invention of claim 5 is as follows: In a panel body connection structure configured to connect mutually opposing left and right edge portions of adjacent first and second panel portions via a joint material with the lower edge portion of each panel portion spaced apart from the floor surface, a cap material is attached to the lower edge portion of the second panel portion so as to cover the lower edge portion of the joint material and reach the lower edge portion of the first panel portion, and the panel body formed by the first and second panel portions is a depth panel body arranged between the front panel body and a wall portion to define a booth, the first panel portion being the panel portion on the wall portion side, and the second panel portion being the panel portion on the front panel body side, This is a connecting structure of a panel body, characterized in that an end fitting is attached to the wall portion, into which the wall side end portion of the first panel portion fits, and an end cap material is attached to the lower edge of the end fitting, covering the lower edge of the wall side of the first panel portion while covering the lower edge of the end fitting. The invention of claim 6 is characterized in that the first and second panel parts are assembled so that their lower end edges are spaced apart from the floor surface via an adjuster that is height-adjustable between them and the floor surface, and the joint material and cap material are attached to the second panel part that is assembled after the first panel part that is assembled first. 5 The panel body connecting structure according to any one of the above. [Effects of the Invention]

[0006] Claim 1、3、4、5 According to the invention described above, when a panel body is formed by connecting first and second panel portions with their lower edges spaced apart from the floor and with a joint material interposed therebetween, a cap material is attached to the lower edge of the second panel portion, extending to the lower edge of the first panel portion and covering the lower edge of the joint material. Therefore, even if the lower edge of the joint material is cut and left in a separated state, the cap material covers the lower edge, preventing injury to people or luggage caused by contact with the lower edge of the joint material without the need for work such as chamfering or deburring the lower edge. Moreover, the height of the second panel portion relative to the first panel portion can be easily adjusted by adjusting the cap material so that it abuts the lower edge of the first panel portion, improving workability. Furthermore, the cap material provided to cover the lower edge of the joint material also serves as a height adjustment member for the second panel portion, thereby enabling effective use of components. Moreover, when the invention is as claimed in claim 1, The cap material can be fixed with screws from the side surface of the second panel portion, which provides excellent workability. Claim 2 By adopting this invention, the second panel portion can be fixed to the vertical frame at right angles with screws, thereby achieving a strong fixation. Moreover, when the invention is claimed as claim 5, This makes it easy to connect and assemble the depth panels of booths such as toilet booths by adjusting the height of the first and second panel parts and covering the lower edge of the joint material with the cap material. Furthermore, The lower edge portion of the end fitting and the first panel portion fitted into the end fitting can be covered from below with an end cap material, preventing people or luggage from coming into contact with the lower edge of the end fitting and being injured without the need for work such as chamfering or deburring the lower edge.

[0008] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the drawings, reference numeral 1 denotes a toilet booth, which is comprised of various components and devices, such as a front panel body (panel portion) 2, a depth panel body 3, a door body 4 that opens and closes an entrance E formed between the left and right front panel bodies 2, and a height-adjustable adjuster device 5 (described later) that is interposed between the front panel body 2 and the depth panel body 3 and a floor surface F, all of which are conventional. In this structure, the depth panel body 3 is connected in a continuous manner between the first panel portion 6 on the wall portion W side and the second panel portion 7 on the front panel body 2 side, with a joint material 8 described later interposed between them. In this case, the first panel portion 6 on the wall portion W side is attached first, and the second panel portion 7 on the front panel body 2 side is attached subsequently. This connection structure will be described in detail below. Incidentally, in this embodiment, a pair of adjuster devices 5 are provided on both end sides of each panel portion 2, 6, 7, but it goes without saying that the number of adjuster devices 5 to be attached can be set as needed.

[0009] The adjuster 5 is a general-purpose device with a so-called turnbuckle structure that has flange-shaped mounting parts 5a and 5b on the top and bottom, and the distance between the mounting parts 5a and 5b can be changed (height changed) by rotating the adjustment part 5c arranged between the mounting parts 5a and 5b around the vertical axis. The height of the first panel portion 6 is adjusted by the adjuster 5 with the edge portion 6a on the wall W side fitted into a groove-shaped end fitting 9 attached to the wall portion W, and therefore the adjuster 5 can be fixed to the first panel portion 6 and the floor surface F with screws (or fixing devices such as bolts) 5d and the adjustment portion 5c can be rotated to attach the first panel portion 6 in a height-adjusted state. The adjuster 5 can be attached and fixed to the first panel portion 6 and the floor surface F even after the height has been adjusted, and these settings can be made as appropriate on site.

[0010] After the first panel portion 6 is attached in a height-adjusted state, the second panel portion 7 is attached. In this case, the edge portion 7a of the second panel portion 7 on the first panel portion 6 side is provided with: It has a web 8d and a flange 8e, and mounting grooves 8b and 8c are formed on both the left and right sides. One of the H-shaped mounting grooves 8b of the joint material 8 As a result, the joint material 8 has flanges 8e that protrude forward and backward from the front and rear panel surfaces of the second panel portion 7. In this state, the joint material 8 is attached to the second panel portion 7 via the screws 8a, and further, The flanges 8e protruding from the front and rear panel surfaces of the second panel portion 7 are included. A cap member 10 is attached to the lower edge of the second panel portion 7 via screws 10a so as to cover the lower edge from below. Incidentally, when the joint material 8 is such that the edge portion 7a of the second panel body 7 is lightly pressed into one of the mounting grooves 8b, the lower edge portion is in contact from above with the cap material 10 attached to the second panel portion 7, so that even when it is not fixed to the second panel portion 7 via the screw 8a, it can be maintained in a temporarily attached state, positioned vertically, without accidentally falling toward the floor surface F. It goes without saying that such temporary attachment of the joint material 8 may be performed either by first attaching the cap material 10 to the second panel portion 7 or by first attaching the joint material 8 to the second panel portion 7.

[0011] The cap material 10 has a covering portion 10b that covers the joint material 8, which has the same shape as the edge shape of the joint material 8 or a shape that protrudes slightly from the edge, so that it is set to cover even if the lower edge of the joint material 8 is cut and remains sharp or if there are burrs, and the base portion 10c on the second panel portion 7 side of the covering portion 10b is formed to have the same width dimension as the second panel portion 7. As mentioned above, the cap material 10 is configured to be attached and fixed from below to the lower edge of the second panel body 7 via screws 10a, with the covering portion 10b covering the joint material 8 from below.

[0012] Next, the second panel portion 7, to which the joint material 8 and cap material 10 have been attached, is connected and attached to the first panel portion 6 in a continuous manner, but in this case, the adjuster 5 is set to a position lower than the mounting height of the second panel portion 7. In this state, the front edge portion 6b of the first panel portion 6 of the second panel portion 7 is fitted into the other mounting groove 8c of the joint material 8, and the adjuster 5 is grounded to the floor portion F. Thereafter, the height of the adjuster 5 is adjusted so that the cap material 10 abuts against the lower edge of the first panel portion 6, whereby the lower edge of the joint material 8 is covered with the cap material 10 and the height of the second panel portion 7 is adjusted, allowing for connection and installation. Incidentally, in this case, the edge portion 10d of the covering portion 10b of the cap material 10 on the first panel portion 6 side extends slightly further toward the first panel body 6 than the joint material 8, which has the advantage that when adjusting the height of the second panel portion 7, the protruding edge portion 10d is visible without being hidden by the joint material 8 until the end of the height adjustment, making the height adjustment work easier.

[0013] In the present embodiment configured as described above, when the depth panel body 3 is formed by connecting the opposing left and right edges of the adjacent first and second panel portions 6, 7 via a joint material with the lower edges of each panel portion 6, 7 spaced apart from the floor surface F, the second panel portion 7 on the front side is assembled adjacent to the first panel portion 6 on the wall portion W side, which is assembled first, with the joint material 8 interposed therebetween. However, since the cap material 10 is attached to the lower edge of the joint material 8 and extends to the lower edge of the first panel portion 6, covering the lower edge of the joint material 8, even if the lower edge of the joint material 8 remains cut and separated, the cap material 10 will cover the lower edge of the joint material 8, and it is possible to prevent people or luggage from coming into contact with the lower edge of the joint material 8 and being injured without having to perform work such as chamfering or deburring on the lower edge, thereby improving workability. Furthermore, with this device, when adjusting the height of the second panel portion 7 relative to the first panel portion 6 and assembling it, the height adjustment can be easily done by adjusting the cap material 10 attached to the second panel portion 7 so that it abuts the lower edge of the first panel portion 6 that has been assembled earlier.As a result, not only is the workability of adjusting the height of the second panel portion 7 improved, but the cap material 10 provided to cover the lower edge of the joint material 8 can also be used as a height adjustment member for the second panel portion 7, thereby making effective use of the member.

[0014] Furthermore, in this case, the first and second panel portions 6, 7 are assembled to the floor surface F via a height-adjustable adjuster 5 so that their lower edges are spaced apart from the floor surface, and the joint material 8 and cap material 10 are attached to the second panel portion 7, which is assembled after the first panel portion 6, which is assembled first.As a result, as mentioned above, when adjusting the height of the second panel portion 7 relative to the first panel portion 6, the cap material 10, which is provided to cover the lower edge of the joint material 8, can also be used as a confirmation member for height adjustment, improving workability and making effective use of the materials.

[0015] Furthermore, in this case, the panel body 3 composed of the first and second panel portions 6, 7 is the depth panel body 3 arranged between the front panel body 2 and the wall portion W to define the toilet booth 1, and since the first panel portion 6 is the panel portion on the wall portion W side and the second panel portion 7 is the panel portion on the front panel body 2 side, the depth panel body 3 of the toilet booth 1 can be easily connected and assembled by adjusting the height of the first and second panel portions 6, 7 and covering the lower edge portion of the joint material 8 with the cap material 10, thereby improving workability.

[0016] In this embodiment of the present invention, when assembling on-site the depth panel body 3 configured to connect the mutually opposing left and right edge portions of the first and second panel portions 6, 7 via the joint material 8 in a state where the lower edge portions of the respective panel portions 6, 7 are spaced apart from the floor surface F, the method for assembling is as follows: a step of assembling the first panel portion 6 on the wall portion W side in a state in which the height is adjusted using the adjuster 5; a step of arranging the second panel portion 7, to which the joint material 8 and the cap material 10 that covers the lower edge of the joint material 8 and is set to reach the lower edge of the first panel portion 6, adjacent to the first panel portion 6 in a state in which the adjuster 5 is adjusted so that the second panel portion 7 is lower than the set height; a step of assembling the second panel portion 7 by adjusting the height of the adjuster 5 so that the cap material 10 abuts against the lower edge of the first panel portion 6; By implementing the above, as mentioned above, the cap material 10 that covers the lower edge of the joint material 8 can also be used as a height adjustment confirmation member, which not only makes effective use of the members but also improves the workability of assembling the depth panel body 3.

[0017] Of course, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment. In the above-described embodiment, the joint material 8 and the cap material 10 are provided on the second panel portion 7, which is assembled subsequently, but they can also be provided on the first panel portion 6, which is attached first. In this case, the second panel portion 7, which is attached subsequently, has an adjuster device 5 that is higher than the set height, and the adjuster device 5 is adjusted to be lower so that the lower edge of the second panel portion 7 abuts the cap material 10 from above, thereby adjusting the height. Furthermore, the present invention can also be implemented by attaching the joint material 8 so that its lower edge coincides with the lower edge of one of the panel portions 6 or 7, while attaching a cap material 10 to the lower edge of the other panel body 7 or 6, and adjusting the height of the adjuster device 5 so that the lower edge of the panel portion 6 or 7 that is attached later to form the depth panel 3 abuts against the cap material 10 from above.

[0018] The present invention can also be implemented as the second and third embodiments described below. Note that the same components as those in the above embodiments are given the same numbers, and detailed descriptions thereof will be omitted. In the second embodiment, the cap material 11 is formed with a protruding piece portion 11c that protrudes upward from the center of the upper surface of the covering portion 11b that covers the joint material 8, and the protruding portion 11c is configured to have multiple screw holes 11d (two in this embodiment) formed at the top and bottom. On the other hand, a cutout portion 7c of approximately the same size as the protruding piece portion 11c of the cap material is formed in the side portion 7b of the second panel portion 7 facing the first panel portion 6 at the portion where the protruding piece portion 11c of the cap material abuts, so that when the protruding piece portion 11c is attached, the side portion 7b and the protruding piece portion 11c are formed to be approximately flush with each other. The cap material 11 is attached to the second panel portion 7 by having the covering lid portion 11b cover the joint material 8 from below and fastening it laterally from the first panel portion 6 side using screws 11a with the protruding piece portion 11c fitted into the cutout portion 7c of the second panel portion.

[0019] In this way, the cap material 11 has a protruding piece portion 11c that protrudes upward, and this protruding piece portion 11c is arranged on the side portion 7b of the second panel portion 7 that faces the first panel portion 6, and is fixed to the side portion 7b (cutout portion 7c) with a screw 11a, which allows for screw fixing from the lateral direction and makes it easy to work with.

[0020] The panel bodies 2 and 3 are constructed by assembling long frame materials on all four sides, and in some cases, the frame materials are made of laminated materials in which a plurality of plate materials are stacked together. In this embodiment, the second panel portion 7 is made of the laminated material, and the vertical frames 7d are configured as so-called vertical frames that extend to the upper and lower edge portions of the second panel portion 7. As described above, the fixing from the lateral direction using the screws 11a is performed by screwing the screws 11a into the surface of the laminated material, that is, by screwing the screws 11a perpendicularly into the laminated material.

[0021] In this way, the vertical frame 7d of the second panel portion 7 is formed from a long plate material that reaches the lower edge of the second panel portion 7, and the cap material 11 is configured so that the protruding piece portion 11c is fixed perpendicular to the vertical frame 7d via a screw 11a, thereby avoiding the problem of the laminated surface being prone to peeling when a screw is screwed into the lower edge of the vertical frame 7d, and achieving strong fixation.

[0022] The wall W may also be configured as in a third embodiment described below. In the third embodiment, an end cap material 12 is attached to the lower edge portion 9a of the end fitting (wall rail) 9, thereby covering the lower edge portion 9a of the end fitting in the same way as the lower edge portions of the first and second panel portions 6 and 7. The end cap material 12 is formed with a cover portion 12b that has the same shape as the lower edge portion 9a of the end fitting 9 or that protrudes slightly beyond the lower edge portion 9a, and a protruding piece portion 12c that protrudes upward from the upper surface of the cover portion 12b, with screw holes 12d formed in multiple locations (two locations in this embodiment) above and below the protruding piece portion 12c. Meanwhile, screw holes 9b are formed in the groove bottom portion 9d of the end fitting 9 at locations that correspond to the screw holes 12d.

[0023] Then, the end cap material covering portion 12b is placed from below over the lower edge portion 9a of the end fitting 9 attached to the wall portion W, and in this state, it is fixed toward the wall portion W using the screw 12a via the end cap material screw hole 12d and the end fitting screw hole 9b. In this state, the first panel portion 6 (edge portion 6a) is fitted into the groove 9c of the end fitting 9, and at this time, the lower edge portion 6c of the first panel portion edge portion 6a is attached in a state in which it abuts against the end cap material covering portion 12b from above, thereby covering the end fitting lower edge portion 9a and the first panel portion lower edge portion 6c with the end cap material 12.

[0024] In this way, an end fitting 9 into which the wall side end portion of the first panel portion 6 fits is attached to the wall portion W, and an end cap material 12 is attached to the lower edge 9a of the end fitting 9, covering the wall side lower edge 6c of the first panel portion 6 while covering the lower edge 9a of the end fitting.This configuration makes it possible to prevent people or luggage from coming into contact with the lower edge 9a of the end fitting 9 and being injured without the need to perform work such as chamfering or deburring the lower edge, thereby improving workability. Furthermore, the end cap material protruding piece portion 12c is located inward from the end of the cover portion 12b by a length approximately equal to the plate thickness of the end fitting 9, so that the end cap material 12 can be made approximately flush with the wall portion W side end of the end fitting 9.

[0025] Furthermore, by attaching the first panel portion 6 to the end fitting 9 with a gap S remaining between the end fitting groove bottom 9d and the first panel edge portion 6a, even if there is a tilt between the end fitting 9 attached to the wall portion W and the first panel 6, the end fitting lower edge portion 9a and the first panel portion lower edge portion 6c can be covered with the end cap material 12.

[0026] Furthermore, by using screws 12a that secure the end cap material 12 and that have the same strength (size) as screws that secure the end fitting 9 to the wall portion W, the number of parts can be reduced and workability can be improved. [Industrial Applicability]

[0027] The present invention can be used as a panel body connecting structure and connecting method for assembling a pair of panel bodies in a continuous manner with a gap between the lower end edges and the floor surface. [Explanation of symbols]
