[Technical Field]

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a stand for a partition. [Background technology]

[0002] For example, the partition stand described in Patent Document 1 includes a camera and a data transmission unit that transmits video captured by the camera to a management information processing device. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2019-75789 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] Patent Document 1 only states that "the power input unit that supplies power to the camera and data transmission unit can be supplied with power via a wired or wireless connection," and does not state any specific configuration. In view of this point, the present disclosure discloses an example of a specific configuration for supplying power. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] It is desirable that a stand for a partition has at least one of the following constituent features, for example.

[0006] That is, the constituent elements are a columnar pole (11), a base (12) that holds the pole (11) in an upright position and has a recess (12A) recessed from its outer edge toward the pole (11), the base (12) having a storage section (17) in which a power cord (16) is stored, and first to fourth holding sections (18B) to (21) that are provided in the storage section (17) and that hold the position of the power cord (16) when the power cord (16) is stored in the storage section (17).

[0007] In the above configuration, when a direction parallel to the direction of the depression of the recess (12A) is defined as a first direction (D1) and a direction perpendicular to the first direction (D1) is defined as a second direction (D2), the first holding portion (18B) and the second holding portion (19) are arranged on the opposite side of the recess (12A) in the first direction (D1) with the pole (11) in between, and the first holding portion (18B) is arranged at a position closer to the pole (11) than the second holding portion (19), and the third holding portion (20) The third and fourth holding portions (20) are arranged on the opposite side of the pole (11) from the first holding portion (18B) in the first direction (D1), and the third holding portion (20) is arranged on the opposite side of the recess (12A) from the fourth holding portion (21) in the second direction (D2). Furthermore, it is desirable that spaces (22B, 22C) are formed on one side and the other side of the first holding portion (18B) in the first direction (D1) in which the power cord (16) can be routed.

[0008] This allows power to be supplied via the power cord (16), and also prevents the efficiency of routing the power cord (16) when storing it in the storage section (17) from being reduced.

[0009] Incidentally, the symbols in each of the parentheses above are examples showing the correspondence with the specific configurations, etc. described in the embodiments described below, and the present disclosure is not limited to the specific configurations, etc. shown by the symbols in the parentheses above.

[0011] The following "embodiments of the invention" are examples of embodiments that fall within the technical scope of the present disclosure. In other words, the invention-specific matters described in the claims are not limited to the specific configurations and structures shown in the following embodiments.

[0012] Note that arrows and diagonal lines indicating directions in each figure are provided to facilitate understanding of the relationship between the figures and the shapes of each component or part. Therefore, the invention disclosed in this disclosure is not limited to the directions indicated in each figure. Diagonal lines do not necessarily indicate cross-sectional views.

[0013] At least one of each component or part that is described with a reference numeral is provided unless otherwise specified, such as "one." In other words, unless otherwise specified, two or more components may be provided. The partition stand shown in this disclosure includes at least the components or parts that are described with a reference numeral, as well as the structural parts shown in the drawings.

[0014] (First embodiment) <1. Overview of the partition stand> In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, an example of a partition stand according to the present disclosure is applied to a partition stand 10 to which a belt partition 1 can be attached.

[0015] The belt partition 1 has a belt 2 for dividing a space and a winding drum (not shown) for winding up the belt 2, and is used to determine the ``line-up direction of people'' or ``territory'', etc.

[0016] 1 shows an example of use in which multiple partition stands 10 are connected by a belt 2 to form a "territory." The belt partition 1 attached to each partition stand 10 incorporates an electric device (not shown) that emits sound or light.

[0017] <2. Configuration of the partition stand> 2, the partition stand 10 includes at least a columnar pole 11 and a base 12. The pole 11 according to this embodiment is made of a hollow pipe material.

[0018] A connection part 11A (see FIG. 3) to which the belt partition 1 can be detachably attached is provided at the upper end of the pole 11. The lower end of the pole 11 is fixed to a base 12. The base 12 holds the pole 11 in an upright position.

[0019] <2.1 Details of the base> As shown in Fig. 2, the base 12 has a recess 12A recessed from the outer edge toward the pole 11. As shown in Fig. 4, the recess 12A is a recess into which the pole 11 of another partition stand 10 can fit. In other words, the recess 12A is a portion that allows the bases 12 of the partition stands 10 to be stacked one on top of the other.

[0020] As shown in Figure 3, the base 12 is composed of a weight 13, a cover 14, a base 15, a power cord 16, etc. The weight 13 is a weight that lowers the center of gravity of the partition stand 10 and prevents the partition stand 10 from falling over.

[0021] The cover 14 and the base 15 are members that constitute the storage section 17 that stores the power cord 16. In other words, the base 15 constitutes the storage space of the storage section 17 (see FIG. 5). The cover 14 is a lid that closes the storage space.

[0022] Base 15 according to this embodiment forms a storage space that is open on the upper side and closed on the lower side and sides. For this reason, cover 14 is detachably attached to the top of base 15. Plummet 13 is fixed to the underside of base 15.

[0023] Incidentally, cover 14 according to this embodiment is attached to base 15 by a locking portion that utilizes elastic deformation such as a snap fit. In addition, weight portion 13, cover 14, and base 15 are provided with recesses 13A, 14A, and 15B that form recess 12A, respectively.

[0024] 6, a first holding portion 18, a second holding portion 19, a third holding portion 20, and a fourth holding portion 21 are provided in the storage portion 17. Note that the first holding portion 18 to the fourth holding portion 21 according to this embodiment are integrated with the base 15 by integral molding.

[0025] 3 are power output units for outputting power supplied via the power cord 16. The first output unit 23A outputs the commercial power supply (AC 100V) supplied via the power cord 16.

[0026] The second output unit 23B outputs power converted to DC 5V by the AC / DC adapter 23C. Note that the second output unit 23B according to this embodiment supplies power to the devices provided on the belt partition 1.

[0027] <2.2 Details of the power cord holder> 5, the first holding portion 18 to the fourth holding portion 21 are portions for holding the position of the power cord 16 when the power cord 16 is stored in the storage portion 17. In other words, the first holding portion 18 to the fourth holding portion 21 are portions that come into contact with the power cord 16 when the power cord 16 is stored in the storage portion 17.

[0028] 7, the first holding portion 18 and the second holding portion 19 are arranged on the opposite side of the recess 12A in the first direction D1, with the pole 11 sandwiched between them. The third holding portion 20 and the fourth holding portion 21 are arranged on the opposite side of the first holding portion 18 in the first direction D1, with the pole 11 sandwiched between them. The first direction D1 refers to a direction parallel to the orientation of the depression of the recess 12A.

[0029] Additionally, the first holding portion 18 is disposed closer to the pole 11 than the second holding portion 19. The third holding portion 20 is disposed on the opposite side of the recess 12A from the fourth holding portion 21 in the second direction D2. The second direction D2 refers to a direction perpendicular to the first direction D1.

[0030] The first holding portion 18 according to this embodiment is configured to have a plurality of wall portions 18A to 18D that are curved around the pole 11. Therefore, hereinafter, each of the wall portions 18A to 18D will also be referred to as a first holding portion. In other words, the base 15 according to this embodiment is configured to include a plurality of first holding portions 18A to 18D.

[0031] In the first direction D1, spaces 22A to 22E in which the power cord 16 can be routed are defined on one side and the other side of each of the first holding portions 18A to 18D. Specifically, the space 22A is defined on one side of the first holding portion 18A, and the space 22B is defined on the other side of the first holding portion 18A.

[0032] Similarly, a space 22B is defined on one side of first holding portion 18B, and a space 22C is defined on the other side of first holding portion 18B. A space 22C is defined on one side of first holding portion 18C, and a space 22D is defined on the other side of first holding portion 18C. A space 22D is defined on one side of first holding portion 18D, and a space 22E is defined on the other side of first holding portion 18D.

[0033] The multiple first holding portions 18A to 18D are arranged so that the first holding portion 18A that is farthest from the pole 11 is used as a reference, and the second holding portions 18A to 18D divide the space between the first holding portion 18A and the pole 11.

[0034] The second holding portion 19 is also configured with a wall portion that curves around the pole 11. The third holding portion 20 and the fourth holding portion 21 are configured with wall portions that curve with a radius of curvature that is larger than the minimum allowable bending radius of the power cord 16. The second holding portion 19 to the fourth holding portion 21 are provided at their upper ends with eaves-shaped flange portions 19A to 21A.

[0035] In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8, only the spaces 22B to 22D are used for routing the power cord 16, and the other spaces 22A and 22E are not used for routing the power cord 16.

[0036] This is because there is no need to use spaces 22A and 22E due to the length of power cord 16. Therefore, if a longer power cord 16 is used, spaces 22A and 22E may also be used to route power cord 16.

[0037] That is, first holding section 18 according to this embodiment is configured to have multiple walls 18A to 18D that curve around pole 11. This is because, in this embodiment, power cord 16 having a length of approximately 6 m can be stored in storage section 17. Therefore, if power cord 16 is short, first holding section 18 may be configured with a single wall.

[0038] 5, in this embodiment, power cords 16 are arranged in a vertically stacked manner in spaces 22B to 22D. This is also for storing power cords 16 having a length of approximately 6 m in storage section 17, as described above. Therefore, if power cords 16 are short, power cords 16 may be arranged in each of spaces 22A to 22E without being stacked.

[0039] The task of routing power cord 16 in storage section 17 is performed by the user of partition stand 10. That is, when storing power cord 16 in storage section 17, the user removes cover 14 from base 15 and stores power cord 16 in storage section 17 while routing power cord 16 as shown in FIG.

[0040] <3. Features of the partition stand according to this embodiment> As described above, it is sufficient for first holding portion 18 to be composed of at least one wall portion. Therefore, hereinafter, the features of partition stand 10 according to the present disclosure will be described using as an example a case where first holding portion 18 is composed of wall portion 18B, i.e., first holding portion 18B only, and power cord 16 is routed through spaces 22B and 22C without being stacked.

[0041] 9, power cord 16 according to this embodiment is routed within storage section 17, starting from first output section 23A (fixed point). Specifically, in the first routing turn, power cord 16 is routed in the following order: first output section 23A → second holding section 19 → fourth holding section 21 → first holding section 18B (space 22B) → third holding section 20 → second holding section 19.

[0042] When the second round of wiring is performed, if space 22C is not provided (see the diagonal lines in Figure 10), the user is forced to wire the power cord 16 to be wired to the first holding portion 18B in a crosswise manner across the power cord 16 wired in the first round, as shown by the dashed double-dashed line in Figure 10.

[0043] That is, the second wrap of power cord 16 routed in fourth holding portion 21 is arranged so as to be stacked horizontally (upper side of the paper in FIG. 10) with respect to the first wrap of power cord 16. Similarly, the second wrap of power cord 16 routed in third holding portion 20 is arranged so as to be stacked above the paper surface with respect to the first wrap of power cord 16.

[0044] In the wiring path from the fourth holding portion 21 to the first holding portion 18B, and in the wiring path from the first holding portion 18B to the third holding portion 20, the power cord 16 that is wired in the second turn is wired so as to cross the power cord 16 that is wired in the first turn.

[0045] Therefore, in this routing path, the power cord 16 routed in the second turn is inevitably shifted vertically and horizontally relative to the power cord 16 routed in the first turn. This reduces the efficiency of the routing work in this routing path. Moreover, this reduction in the efficiency of the routing work becomes a more significant problem as the length of the power cord 16 increases.

[0046] In contrast, if a configuration is provided with space 22C, that is, if spaces 22B and 22C are provided on one side and the other side of first holding portion 18B in which power cord 16 can be routed, the user can route power cord 16 to be routed in the second loop through space 22C without crossing over power cord 16 routed in the first loop, as shown in Figure 11.

[0047] Therefore, deterioration in the ease of wiring along the wiring path is suppressed, and therefore, even if the length of power cord 16 is long, a significant decrease in the ease of wiring can be suppressed. Furthermore, first holding portion 18 according to this embodiment is configured to have multiple wall portions 18A to 18D that are curved around pole 11, and therefore, even if power cord 16 is long, a significant decrease in the ease of wiring can be suppressed.

[0048] Furthermore, the multiple wall portions 18A to 18D that make up the first holding portion 18 divide the spaces 22B to 22D into groove-like sections, so that even if the power cord 16 is long, the power cord 16 can be stored in an orderly manner without becoming tangled.

[0049] (Other embodiments) The first holding portion 18 according to the above-described embodiment is configured to have a plurality of walls 18A to 18D that curve around the pole 11. However, the present disclosure is not limited to this. That is, in the present disclosure, for example, the first holding portion 18 may be configured by one or more pillar-shaped members.

[0050] In the above-described embodiment, the second holding portion 19 to the fourth holding portion 21 are also configured with curved wall portions. However, the present disclosure is not limited to this. That is, in the present disclosure, for example, the second holding portion 19 to the fourth holding portion 21 may also be configured with one or more columnar members.

[0051] Furthermore, the present disclosure is not limited to the above-described embodiments as long as it conforms to the spirit of the disclosure described in the above-described embodiments. Therefore, the present disclosure may be a configuration in which at least two of the above-described embodiments are combined, or a configuration in which any of the components illustrated or described with reference numerals in the above-described embodiments is eliminated.
