[0026] In the following, a partition device 100 according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described using Figures 1 to 5. In this embodiment, the front side of the paper in Figure 1 is considered the front (surface side) of the partition device 100, and the left and right sides in Figure 1 are described as the left and right directions of the partition device 100.

[0027] As shown in Figures 1 to 4, the partition device 100 is installed between the floor surface F and the ceiling C, and its main components include a ground rail 1, a ceiling rail 2, support columns 3, horizontal bars 5, an upper panel body 6, a displacement panel body 7, a lower panel body 8, rock wool 9 (a type of sound-absorbing material), a sound-absorbing panel 10, a back panel 20, and the like. Each component will be described in order below.

[0028] As shown in Figures 1 to 4, the partition device 100 is installed between rectangular metal pillars 3, 3, etc., which are erected at predetermined intervals between a ground rail 1, which is a long, U-shaped metal member fixed to the floor surface F, and a ceiling rail 2, which is a metal member fixed to the ceiling C in the shape of the ground rail 1 inverted upside down. As shown in Figures 1 to 3, a metal horizontal bar 5 is spanned between the opposing pillars 3, 3.

[0029] As shown in Figure 4, locking brackets 4 or 14 for supporting the panel body are fixed to both the left and right sides of the support column 3. The locking bracket 4 has a locking portion 4a at its front end and a locking portion 4b at its rear end. As shown in Figure 4, the locking portion 4a is located behind the front end surface of the support column 3. The locking portion 4b extends behind the rear end surface of the support column 3. The locking bracket 14 has its front and rear ends extending from the front and rear end surfaces of the support column 3.

[0030] As shown in Figures 3 and 4, a back panel 20 is provided on the back of the partition device 100. As shown in Figure 4, the back panel 20 is supported by the support column 3 by being locked on both the left and right sides to the locking parts 4b. The back panel 20 is constructed as a plate-like member combining a sheet metal member and a gypsum board, thereby providing sound insulation.

[0031] As shown in Figure 1, the front surface of the partition device 100 is provided with a plurality of panel bodies arranged vertically, namely an upper panel body 6, a displacement panel body 7, and a lower panel body 8, as well as a sound-absorbing panel 10. In this embodiment, the upper panel body 6, the displacement panel body 7, and the lower panel body 8 are each constructed as plate-like members combining gypsum boards 6a, 7a, and 8a with steel sheet metal members 6b, 7b, and 8b, thereby providing sound insulation. Furthermore, in this embodiment, as shown in Figures 3 and 4, rock wool 9, a type of sound-absorbing material, is provided on the back side of the upper panel body 6, the displacement panel body 7, and the lower panel body 8 (between the upper panel body 6, the displacement panel body 7, and the lower panel body 8 and the back panel 20).

[0032] As shown in Figure 3, the displacement panel 7, which is one of the multiple panel bodies, is positioned so that its surface is on the back side compared to the upper panel 6 adjacent to it above and the lower panel 8 adjacent to it below. Specifically, as shown in Figure 4, the displacement panel 7 is supported by the support column 3 by being locked on both the left and right sides by the locking parts 4a. As a result, the surface of the displacement panel 7 is positioned almost flush with the front surface of the support column 3. Also, as shown in Figure 3, the surface of the displacement panel 7 is positioned near the front surface of the horizontal bar 5.

[0033] On the other hand, the upper panel 6 and the lower panel 8 are supported by the support column 3 by being locked on both the left and right sides to the front ends of the locking fittings 14 (see the panel body supported by the locking fittings 14 on both the left and right sides in Figure 4). As a result, the surfaces of the upper panel 6 and the lower panel 8 are positioned in front of the front of the support column 3.

[0034] In the partition device 100 according to this embodiment, as shown in Figure 2, the upper panel 6 and the lower panel 8 are provided across three adjacent support columns 3. That is, the upper panel 6 and the lower panel 8 are formed with a width approximately twice that of the displacement panel 7. For this reason, in this embodiment, as shown in Figure 3, hooks 6c and 8c fixed to the middle of the upper panel 6 and the lower panel 8 in the left-right direction are engaged with the horizontal bar 5 to prevent the upper panel 6 and the lower panel 8 from deforming and bulging forward.

[0035] As shown in Figures 3 and 4, the sound-absorbing panel 10 is placed on the surface side of the displacement panel body 7, overlapping with the displacement panel body 7. As shown in Figures 5(a) and (b), the sound-absorbing panel 10 according to this embodiment is formed by attaching a cloth-like material 12 to the front surface of a sound-absorbing plate 11 made of rock wool formed into a plate shape. In the sound-absorbing panel 10, a plurality of magnets 13·13·· are attached to the rear surface of the sound-absorbing plate 11 as a fixing means. The sound-absorbing panel 10 is then assembled to the surface of the displacement panel body 7 by attracting the magnets 13·13·· to the sheet metal member 7b of the displacement panel body 7. As a result, as shown in Figure 1, the upper panel body 6 of the upper section, the sound-absorbing panel 10 of the middle section, and the lower panel body 8 of the lower section are arranged in order from top to bottom on the surface side of the partition device 100.

[0036] According to the partition device 100 of this embodiment, as described above, the configuration provides a displacement panel body 7 and a sound-absorbing panel 10 without providing a center panel. This simplifies the structure of the partition device 100 and improves the ease of installation. As a result, it is possible to reduce the cost when assembling the partition device 100.

[0037] Furthermore, as described above, the partition device 100 according to this embodiment does not have a center panel, so as shown in Figure 3, the front-to-back width of the horizontal bar 5 provided between the front and back sides of the partition device 100 can be made larger. In other words, compared to a configuration with a center panel, the front-to-back width of the horizontal bar 5 can be made larger, which makes it possible to increase the strength of the partition device 100.

[0038] In the partition device 100 according to this embodiment, as shown in Figure 3, the sound-absorbing panel 10 and the upper panel body 6 and lower panel body 8 are formed so that their thickness from the front end surface of the support column 3 is approximately the same. Therefore, when the partition device 100 is assembled, the surfaces of the sound-absorbing panel 10 and the upper panel body 6 and lower panel body 8 are arranged on the same plane, as shown in Figure 3. In this way, the partition device 100 in this embodiment is made possible by forming the surface flat, thereby improving the design of the partition device 100.

[0039] Furthermore, as shown in Figures 3 and 4, in the partition device 100 according to this embodiment, the sound-absorbing panel 10 is formed to be slightly larger than the displacement panel body 7 and is arranged to cover the surface of the displacement panel body 7. In this way, in this embodiment, as shown in Figure 1, exposure to the surface of the displacement panel body 7 is prevented, thereby improving the aesthetic design of the partition device 100.

[0040] In the partition device 100 according to this embodiment, the sound-absorbing panel 10 is fixed to the surface of the displacement panel body 7 via magnets 13, 13, etc., which are fixing means. In this way, the partition device 100 according to this embodiment allows the sound-absorbing panel 10 to be attached to and detached from the displacement panel body 7 with a simple configuration.

[0041] In the partition device 100 according to this embodiment, the upper panel body 6, the displacement panel body 7, and the lower panel body 8 that constitute the panel body are made up of plate-like members that combine gypsum boards 6a, 7a, and 8a with sheet metal members 6b, 7b, and 8b. As a result, the panel body has sound insulation properties, so the partition device 100 can have sound insulation properties from the panel body in addition to sound absorption properties from the sound-absorbing panel 10.

[0042] To further explain the upper panel 6, displacement panel 7, and lower panel 8 that constitute the panel body, the sheet metal members 6b, 7b, and 8b are steel panels formed by bending the edges, and are made of non-combustible material with gypsum boards 6a, 7a, and 8a attached to the back surface of the steel panels.

[0043] In the partition device 100 according to this embodiment, rock wool 9, a type of sound-absorbing material, is provided on the back side of the upper panel body 6, the displacement panel body 7, and the lower panel body 8 that constitute the panel body. As a result, the partition device 100 can further improve its sound absorption performance with the rock wool 9 sound-absorbing material.

[0044] As described above, the partition device 100 according to this embodiment is constructed by making all of its components (ground rail 1, top rail 2, support column 3, horizontal rail 5, upper panel body 6, displacement panel body 7, lower panel body 8, rock wool 9 which is a type of sound-absorbing material, back panel 20, etc.), excluding the sound-absorbing panel 10, out of non-combustible materials, thereby creating a partition wall that is not affected by interior finish restrictions. The sound-absorbing panel 10 is configured to be easily attached and detached as a decorative element to the wall surface in the recess formed on the surface of the displacement panel body 7 of this partition wall.

[0045] The sound-absorbing panel 10 can be made of a fabric-like material 12 in a color or pattern that suits the user's preference, and can function as a design accent. Furthermore, since the sound-absorbing panel 10 is fixed by magnets 13, users can easily change the panels themselves by providing multiple sound-absorbing panels 10 with different colors and patterns, allowing them to enjoy not only the sound-absorbing performance but also the change in appearance.

[0046] [Differentiation] The above embodiments can be modified as appropriate, as shown in the following modifications. Each modification described herein may be applied in combination with other modifications, provided that it does not create inconsistencies.

[0047] A modified example of the partition device 100A according to the present invention will be described with reference to Figure 6. In this modified example, components similar to those in the partition device 100 according to the above embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals and detailed descriptions are omitted.

[0048] As shown in Figure 6, the back surface of the partition device 100A according to this modified example is provided with an upper panel body 6, a displacement panel body 7, and a lower panel body 8, and a sound-absorbing panel 10, instead of the back surface panel 20 in the partition device 100 according to the above embodiment. Thus, the partition device according to the present invention can be configured to have panel bodies (upper panel body 6, displacement panel body 7, and lower panel body 8) and a sound-absorbing panel 10 on both the front and back surfaces, as in this modified example. In this modified example, the horizontal bar 5A is formed in a shape that allows the hooks 6c and 8c of the upper panel body 6 and lower panel body 8 on the back surface to be engaged.

[0049] In the partition device 100 according to this embodiment, an upper panel 6 is provided above the displacement panel 7, and a lower panel 8 is provided below the displacement panel 7. However, it is also possible to have a configuration in which no other panel bodies are provided above or below the displacement panel 7. That is, it is possible to adopt a configuration in which other panel bodies are provided only above the displacement panel 7, only below it, or on both the upper and lower sides.

[0050] In the partition device 100 according to this embodiment, the surfaces of the sound-absorbing panel 10 and the upper panel body 6 and lower panel body 8 are arranged on the same plane. However, it is also possible to configure the sound-absorbing panel 10 so that its front-to-back position relative to the other panel bodies is either in front or behind.

[0051] In the partition device 100 according to this embodiment, the sound-absorbing panel 10 is arranged to cover the surface of the displacement panel body 7, but it is also possible to configure it so that the displacement panel body 7 located behind the sound-absorbing panel 10 is exposed on the surface.

[0052] In the partition device 100 according to this embodiment, the sound-absorbing panel 10 is fixed to the surface of the displacement panel body 7 via magnets 13, 13, etc., which are fixing means. However, it is also possible to directly assemble the sound-absorbing panel 10 to the support column 3. In addition, other means such as adhesive, adhesive tape, hook-and-loop fasteners, etc., can be used as fixing means for fixing the sound-absorbing panel 10 to the displacement panel body 7, in addition to magnets 13, 13, etc. Furthermore, other materials such as perforated board, plate-shaped glass wool, or felt can be used as the material for the sound-absorbing board 11 that constitutes the sound-absorbing panel 10, instead of rock wool.

[0053] Furthermore, the upper panel 6, displacement panel 7, and lower panel 8 that constitute the panel body can also be made of materials other than gypsum board and sheet metal. For example, the panel body can be made of wooden boards, resin boards, metal boards, or a combination of these.

[0054] Furthermore, in the partition device according to the present invention, it is also possible to omit the rock wool 9, which is a sound-absorbing material. In addition, when a sound-absorbing material is provided, other materials such as glass wool, urethane sponge, or felt can be used in addition to rock wool 9. [Explanation of Symbols]
