Mode for Carrying Out the Invention
[0012] [Booth device 1] Hereinafter, the booth device 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 14. The booth device 1 according to this embodiment is an example of the private room booth according to the present invention. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the booth device 1 according to this embodiment is placed on the floor surface and used for one person or a small number of people to use the interior of the room. The booth device 1 is mainly composed of a combination of metal members such as steel or aluminum alloy. In this embodiment, the direction of the booth device 1 is defined by the arrow in FIG. 1.
[0013] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the booth device 1 according to this embodiment constitutes a private room by including a cylindrical peripheral wall 2 that is open upward and erected on the floor surface. The peripheral wall 2 is composed of four columns 21 and side plates 22, door frame panels 23, and a back plate 25, which are steel panels that are connected in a rectangle in plan view by the columns 21.
[0014] As shown in Figures 1 to 3, the door frame panel 23 is provided with a pair of vertical frames 23a, 23a, and an upper frame 23b that straddles the top of the vertical frames 23a, 23a. The right vertical frame 23a is supported by a hinge H so that the door 24 can rotate.
[0015] In the booth device 1 according to this embodiment, the door frame is provided with a connecting member 26 that connects the lower ends of a pair of vertical frames 23a and 23a. As shown in Figure 3, the connecting member 26 comprises a plate-shaped portion 26a and fitting portions 26b and 26b that rise upward from both the left and right ends of the plate-shaped portion 26a. As shown in Figure 2, when the booth device 1 is installed, the plate-shaped portion 26a is positioned parallel to the floor surface. The fitting portions 26b and 26b rise vertically upward and fit into the lower ends of the pair of vertical frames 23a and 23a when the connecting member 26 is assembled to the door frame.
[0016] The connecting member 26 is assembled to the door frame by fitting its fitting portions 26b-26b to the lower ends of the vertical frames 23a-23a without using any fastening means such as screws. Therefore, the connecting member 26 is able to move relative to the vertical frame 23a-23a in the vertical direction, which is the longitudinal direction of the vertical frames, and is installed on the door frame so as to contact the floor surface due to its own weight.
[0017] As described above, in the booth device 1 according to this embodiment, the door frame of the door frame panel 23 is provided with a connecting member 26 that connects the lower ends of a pair of vertical frames 23a, 23a. In the booth device 1 according to this embodiment, by configuring it as described above, the rigidity of the door frame is increased and distortion is made less likely to occur without fixing the lower part of the door frame to the floor surface.
[0018] Furthermore, in the booth device 1, the vertical frames 23a and 23a and the upper frame 23b do not need to be directly fixed to each other; they may be connected via other components. Also, the connecting member 26 does not need to be directly fixed to the vertical frames 23a and 23a.
[0019] Furthermore, according to the booth device 1 of this embodiment, by forming a plate-like portion 26a on the connecting member 26 and bringing the plate-like portion 26a into contact with the floor surface, the step that must be overcome when entering or exiting the booth device 1 can be reduced. As a result, users of the booth device 1 can enter and exit smoothly.
[0020] Furthermore, according to the booth device 1 of this embodiment, the connecting member 26 is made relatively displaceable in the vertical direction and is provided to abut against the floor surface. As a result, even when the distance of the peripheral wall 2 from the floor surface is adjusted by the adjuster, the connecting member 26 can be made to abut against the floor surface, thus enabling smooth entry and exit to the booth device 1.
[0021] Furthermore, according to the booth device 1 of this embodiment, the connecting member 26 is provided on the door frame so as to contact the floor surface due to its own weight. As a result, even if the distance (height) of the peripheral wall 2 relative to the floor surface is adjusted, the connecting member 26 will contact the floor surface due to its own weight, eliminating the need to adjust the position of the connecting member 26. Therefore, the installation work of the booth device 1 can be easily performed.
[0022] Furthermore, in the booth device 1 according to this embodiment, the door 24 is provided to rotate and open to the outside of the peripheral wall 2. Also, the upper frame 23b that constitutes the door frame is provided at a position that overlaps vertically with the upper end of the door 24, as shown in Figure 1 (see Figure 2). This allows the upper frame 23b to be covered by the door 24 so that it cannot be seen from the outside when the door 24 is closed. This enhances the aesthetic appearance of the booth device 1 when the door 24 is closed.
[0023] In the booth device 1 according to this embodiment, a support member 130, a roof member 131, and a louver member 132 are provided as shielding parts in the opening 2a of the peripheral wall 2, as shown in Figures 1 and 2. In the booth device 1, as shown in Figure 4, the locking parts 130a formed on the support members 130-130 engage with the grooves 22a of the side plates 22 on both the left and right sides, thereby assembling the support members 130-130 to the left and right side plates 22-22. The roof member 131 and a plurality of louver members 132-132... are then spanned between the respective support members 130-130.
[0024] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the roof member 131 is a plate-shaped member positioned approximately horizontally such that its horizontal dimension (front-to-back dimension and left-to-right dimension) is greater than its height dimension. Furthermore, as shown in Figure 5, locking holes 131a are opened at both the left and right ends of the roof member 131.
[0025] As shown in Figures 5 and 6, a groove 131b is formed in the center of the front-to-back direction on the underside of the roof member 131, extending in the left-to-right direction. A duct rail 131c can be accommodated in the groove 131b. Lighting fixtures, various sensors, etc., can be attached to the underside of the duct rail 131c. In this embodiment, the duct rail 131c is assembled by means such as engaging with the groove 22a of the side plate 22 via a mounting member (not shown), but it is also possible to fix the duct rail 131c to the roof member 131.
[0026] As shown in Figures 5, 6, and 9(b), the roof member 131 is assembled to the support member 130 via the roof support member 130c. The support member 130 is divisible into an upper support member 130U and a lower support member 130D. A notch 130b is formed in the lower support member 130D.
[0027] As shown in Figures 6 and 9(b), the claw portion 130d of the roof support member 130c is inserted into the locking hole 131a of the roof member 131 and locked in place, and then the claw portion 130d is inserted into the notch portion 130b. The roof support member 130c is then fixed to the lower support member 130D with rivets, thereby assembling the roof member 131 to the lower support member 130D. After that, the upper support member 130U is assembled on top of the lower support member 130D, and the roof support member 130c and the like are covered.
[0028] As described above, in the booth device 1 according to this embodiment, a pair of support members 130-130 that support the roof member 131 are provided as part of the shielding section. Each of the support members 130-130 is provided along the upper end of the peripheral wall 2 (side plates 22-22) which are arranged opposite each other in the left-right direction.
[0029] Thus, according to this embodiment, the ease of mounting the roof member 131 is improved by supporting the roof member 131 via the support members 130, 130. Furthermore, compared to a configuration in which the roof member is directly locked to the side plates 22, 22, the roof member 131 can be stably assembled to the peripheral wall 2, and the aesthetic design of the booth device 1 can be enhanced by covering the assembled portion of the roof member 131.
[0030] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the roof member 131 of the booth device 1 has an open space between its two sides facing each other in the front-rear direction and the surrounding wall 2. In other words, gaps are formed between the roof member 131 and the surrounding wall 2 (door frame panel 23 and door 24, and back panel 25) on both the front and rear sides.
[0031] Three louver members 132 (six in total) are provided in the gaps between the roof member 131 and the door frame panel 23 and door 24, and in the gaps between the roof member 131 and the back panel 25. The number of louver members 132 is not limited and other numbers are also possible.
[0032] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the louver member 132 is a plate-shaped member positioned so that its vertical and horizontal dimensions are larger than its front-to-back dimensions. As shown in Figures 7 and 8, through holes 132a are opened at the upper ends of both the left and right ends of the louver member 132.
[0033] The louver member 132 is assembled to the support member 130 via a rod-shaped first engaging member 132b and an annular second engaging member 132c. The lower support member 130D has a louver insertion portion 130e cut out.
[0034] As shown in Figures 8 and 9(a), the first engaging member 132b is inserted into the insertion hole 132a of the louver member 132, and the second engaging member 132c is attached to the tip of the first engaging member 132b. Then, the louver member 132 is inserted into the louver insertion portion 130e of the lower support member 130D, and the first engaging member 132b and the second engaging member 132c are engaged with the lower support member 130D, thereby assembling the louver member 132 to the lower support member 130D. After that, the upper support member 130U is assembled on top of the lower support member 130D, covering the first engaging member 132b and the second engaging member 132c.
[0035] As described above, in the booth device 1 according to this embodiment, a support member 130, a roof member 131, and a louver member 132 are provided as shielding parts that shield the opening 2a of the peripheral wall 2. In this way, by reflecting the voices from the user inside the booth device 1 with the roof member 131, the voices are less likely to be released to the outside of the booth device 1, thereby improving the sound insulation of the booth device 1. In addition, since there is an open space between the two sides of the roof member 131 that are opposite each other in the front-rear direction and the peripheral wall 2, it does not obstruct water spraying from above by sprinklers or the like.
[0036] Furthermore, in the booth device 1 according to this embodiment, by reflecting the voices emitted from the user inside the booth device 1 between the louver members 132, the voices are less likely to be emitted to the outside of the booth device 1, thereby further improving the sound insulation of the booth device 1.
[0037] Furthermore, according to this embodiment, the ease of mounting the louver members 132 is improved by supporting the louver members 132 via the support members 130. Compared to a configuration in which the louver members 132 are directly locked to the side plates 22, this configuration allows for stable attachment of the louver members 132 to the peripheral wall 2, and also enhances the aesthetic appeal of the booth device 1 by covering the assembly portion of the louver members 132.
[0038] Furthermore, in the booth device 1 according to this embodiment, by supporting the roof member 131 and louver members 132 via support members 130, 130, it is possible to use roof member 131 and louver member 132 with unified specifications, regardless of the presence or absence of sound-absorbing panels 142. In other words, there is no need to change the dimensions of the roof member 131 and louver member 132 depending on the presence or absence of sound-absorbing panels 142.
[0039] Furthermore, in this embodiment, by supporting the roof member 131 and louver members 132 via support members 130, 130, the positioning and movement restriction of the roof member 131 and louver members 132 relative to the groove 22a of the side plate 22 can be easily performed. That is, the roof member 131 and louver members 132 can be fixed to the groove 22a simply by positioning the locking portion 130a of the support member 130, eliminating the need to position each member individually relative to the side plate 22.
[0040] In this embodiment, the roof member 131 and the louver member 132 that constitute the shielding section are configured to expose sound-absorbing materials such as nonwoven fabric. Furthermore, the support member 130, roof member 131, and louver member 132, which constitute the shielding section, are configured to shield an area of 30% or less of the opening area of the opening 2a in a plan view. This ensures that water can be sprayed from above by sprinklers or the like in the event of a fire.
[0041] As shown in Figures 2, 4, and 10, multiple sound-absorbing panels 142 made of sound-absorbing material such as nonwoven fabric are provided on the inner surface of the peripheral wall 2, specifically on the rear of the side panel 22 and the back panel 25 (opposite side of the door 24). In this embodiment of the booth device 1, the sound insulation of the booth device 1 (the attenuation of sound volume transmitted between the inside and outside of the booth device 1) is enhanced by absorbing the voices emitted from the user inside the booth device 1 with the sound-absorbing panels 142.
[0042] In the booth device 1 according to this embodiment, in order to standardize parts, all sound-absorbing panels 142 are of the same shape and size. Furthermore, although the sound-absorbing panels 142 in this embodiment are formed to be shorter than the front-to-back width dimension of the side walls (side panels 22, 22) of the booth device 1, from the viewpoint of absorbing the sound of the user's speech, the sound-absorbing panels 142 should be positioned at least in front of the user's position. In addition, the sound-absorbing panels 142 may be provided along the entire length in the width direction of the side walls of the booth device 1.
[0043] As shown in Figures 10 to 12, the sound-absorbing panel 142 is assembled to the side plate 22 and the back plate 25 via a mounting frame 141. The mounting frame 141 is a connecting member interposed between the side plate 22 and the sound-absorbing panel 42, and also functions as an optional mounting member for attaching the lighting unit 146, speaker, etc., which will be described later. In this embodiment, the assembly configuration of the sound-absorbing panel 142 to the side plate 22 is the same as the assembly configuration to the back plate 25, so the method for assembling the sound-absorbing panel 142 to the back plate 25 will be described below.
[0044] The mounting frame 141 comprises a locking portion 141a formed at its upper end and a rod-shaped frame 141b which is the main body of the mounting frame 141. As shown in Figures 10 and 11, the mounting frame 141 is assembled to the back plate 25 by locking the locking portion 141a into the groove portion 25a of the back plate 25. Multiple mounting holes 141c are opened in the frame 141b for fixing the panel support member 143.
[0045] The sound-absorbing panel 142 is supported by the mounting frame 141 via a panel support member 143. Specifically, as shown in Figures 10 and 11, recessed locking portions 142a are formed on the back surfaces of the upper and lower ends of the sound-absorbing panel 142.
[0046] Then, as shown in Figure 12, the mounting frame 141 is assembled to the back plate 25, and with the sound-absorbing panel 142 pressed against the back plate 25 so that the mounting frame 141 passes through the locking portion 142a, the push rivet 144r is inserted into the panel support member 143 and the mounting hole 141c. As a result, the locking portion 142a of the sound-absorbing panel 142 is locked to the panel support member 143, and the sound-absorbing panel 142 is assembled to the back plate 25 via the mounting frame 141.
[0047] Furthermore, when assembling the panel support member 143 to the mounting frame 141, it is also possible to configure the panel support member 143 to be elastically deformed and locked to the mounting frame 141 without using push rivets 144r. In this embodiment, the panel support member 143 attached to the uppermost part of the mounting frame 141 is fixed to the mounting frame 141 with fixing screws 144s instead of push rivets 144r. As shown in Figure 11, the cap 145 is attached to the panel support member 143, thereby covering the surface of the panel support member 143, the fixing screws 144s, and the push rivets 144r.
[0048] As described above, in the booth device 1 according to this embodiment, each sound-absorbing panel 142 is only secured to the panel support member 143, so it is possible to remove it from the side plate 22 or back plate 25 simply by removing either the upper or lower panel support member 143 from the mounting frame 141. For example, when removing the bottom sound-absorbing panel 142, it can be removed from the side plate 22 or back plate 25 by removing the lower panel support member 143 from the mounting frame 141.
[0049] As shown in Figure 10, in the booth device 1 according to this embodiment, a lighting unit 146 is provided on the back plate 25 via a mounting frame 141. As shown in Figures 13 and 14, the lighting unit 146 is assembled to the mounting frame 141 via a fixing member 146a, with a cover member 146b and a lighting fixture 146c. Specifically, the panel support member 143 to which the lighting unit 146 is assembled does not have a cap 145 attached, and the fixing member 146a is fixed to the mounting frame 141 by a turn nut 144t, a spacer 144a, and a bolt 144b.
[0050] As shown in Figure 13, the fixing member 146a is formed by bending a plate-shaped member. With the fixing member 146a fixed to the mounting frame 141 by a turn nut 144t, a spacer 144a, and a bolt 144b as shown in Figure 14, the cover member 146b and the lighting fixture 146c are fixed to the fixing member 146a via a screw or other component. In this way, the lighting unit 146 is assembled to the back plate 25 via the panel support member 143 and the mounting frame 141. As described above, the lighting unit 146 in this embodiment uses indirect lighting with the cover member 146b positioned in front of the lighting fixture 146c as seen from the user's perspective, which can improve the user's camera appearance in web conferences, etc.
[0051] The mounting frame 141, which is an optional mounting member, can be used to attach optional members other than the lighting unit 146. For example, in the booth device 1 according to this embodiment, speakers and the like can be attached to the mounting frame 141 that supports the sound-absorbing panel 142 on the side plate 22 in the same configuration as the lighting unit 146.
[0052] In this embodiment, it is possible to connect booth devices 1 to form a booth unit. When multiple booth devices 1 according to this embodiment are connected to form a booth unit, the multiple booth devices 1 can be arranged in a parallel arrangement configuration so that each user of each booth device 1 faces the same direction perpendicular to the direction in which the booth devices 1 are connected.
[0053] In the booth unit configured as described above, each individual booth device 1 has an upward-facing opening 2a, and multiple steel panels (side panels 22, door frame panels 23, and back panel 25) that are in contact with the floor are connected at the corners by multiple connecting members, which are support columns 21, forming a rectangular shape in plan view. Sound-absorbing panels 142 are attached to part or all of the surfaces of the side panels 22 and back panel 25 that face the inside of the booth device 1.
[0054] In the booth device 1 according to the present invention, as described above, by attaching sound-absorbing panels 142 to the side panels 22 and back panel 25 that constitute the peripheral wall 2, reverberation and sound leakage inside the booth device 1 are reduced, making it possible to comfortably conduct web conferences and the like even in a small space. In other words, when a booth unit is constructed using the booth device 1 according to this embodiment, sound insulation is achieved by the steel panels of the side panels 22 and back panel 25, while sound absorption and effective suppression of sound leakage are achieved by the sound-absorbing panels 142.
[0055] Furthermore, the booth unit using the booth device 1 according to this embodiment is configured by attaching sound-absorbing panels 142 to steel panels, which facilitates the construction and dismantling of the booth device 1. Therefore, it is possible to flexibly respond to changes in the number and layout of the booth devices 1 that make up the booth unit.
[0056] In the booth device 1 according to this embodiment, sound-absorbing panels 142 are attached to the side panels 22 on both the left and right sides. When multiple booth devices 1 are connected to form a booth unit, it is preferable that sound-absorbing panels 142 are attached to at least the steel panels (side panels 22) provided between adjacent booth devices 1. This makes it difficult for sound to leak into adjacent booth devices 1.
[0057] Furthermore, when configuring a booth unit using the booth device 1 according to this embodiment, it is preferable that the roof member 131 is provided across one side plate 22 positioned between adjacent booth devices 1 and the other side plate 22 facing the first side plate 22, thereby leaving open space between the two opposing sides (front and rear) and the other peripheral walls that intersect and face the first side plate 22, namely the door frame panel 23 and door 24, and the back plate 25. This allows the voices of users of adjacent booth devices 1 to be reflected by the respective roof members 131, thereby further improving sound insulation between the booth devices 1.
[0058] Furthermore, in the booth device 1 according to this embodiment, a mounting frame 141 is provided between the steel panel (side panel 22 and back panel 25) and the sound-absorbing panel 142 as an optional mounting member to which optional members can be attached. The mounting frame 141 is concealed by the sound-absorbing panel 142. This allows optional members such as the lighting unit 146 to be attached and detached via the mounting frame 141. Moreover, by suppressing the exposure of the mounting frame 141 inside the booth device 1, the aesthetic design of the inside of the booth device 1 can be maintained.
[0059] Furthermore, in the booth device 1 according to this embodiment, the sound-absorbing panel 142 is detachably fixed to the mounting frame 141, which is an optional mounting member, via the panel support member 143. As a result, the sound-absorbing panel 142 can be attached to and detached by attaching and detaching the panel support member 143 to and from the mounting frame 141, making it easy to attach and detach the sound-absorbing panel 142 to the side plate 22 and back plate 25.
[0060] Furthermore, when configuring a booth unit using the booth device 1 according to this embodiment, it is preferable that the mounting frame 141 be attachable to both sides of the side plates 22 provided between adjacent booth devices 1 so as to be at the same position in the width direction of the side plates 22. This makes it possible to unify the mounting positions of optional members attached inside the booth device 1 in the front-to-back direction.
[0061] Furthermore, in the booth device 1 according to this embodiment, a space is formed between the surface of the steel panel (side panel 22 and back panel 25) and the back surface of the sound-absorbing panel 142 through which wiring can be inserted. This prevents wiring from being exposed inside the booth device 1, allowing wiring to be routed without compromising the aesthetic design of the inside of the booth device 1.
[0062] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 12, by forming a horizontal groove on the back side of the sound-absorbing panel 142, it is possible to insert horizontal wiring through the horizontal groove. In this case, a wiring receiver can be provided to connect a pair of mounting frames 141-141 in a manner corresponding to the horizontal groove formed in the sound-absorbing panel 142. This makes wiring work easier by mounting the sound-absorbing panel 142 with the cables placed on the wiring receiver.
[0063] Furthermore, in the booth device 1 according to this embodiment, the sound-absorbing panel 142 is divided into five sections in the vertical direction and is individually detachable. This makes the vertical size of each sound-absorbing panel 142 compact, thus facilitating the transport, attachment, detachment, and replacement of the sound-absorbing panels 142.
[0064] The front of the interior of the booth device 1 can also be configured with a curtain capable of shielding the interior of the booth device 1. For example, rails on which the curtain can be suspended can be provided on the support members 130-130, and the curtain can be made to slide along the rails and extend and retract. This allows the interior of the booth device 1 to be shielded by the curtain even when a transparent glass panel is used for the door 24.
[0065] [Other variations] The embodiments described above can be modified as appropriate, as shown in the other modifications described below. Each modification described herein may be applied in combination with other modifications, to the extent that it does not create inconsistencies.
[0066] The booth equipment can have a shape other than a rectangle when viewed from above. For example, the booth equipment can have a circular, triangular, pentagonal, trapezoidal, or other shape when viewed from above.
[0067] In the booth device 1, the vertical frames 23a and 23a and the upper frame 23b do not need to be directly fixed to each other; they may be connected via other components. Similarly, the connecting member 26 may be directly fixed to the vertical frames 23a and 23a. When directly fixing the connecting member 26, as in the embodiment, it is possible to make it relatively displaceable in the vertical direction, which is the longitudinal direction of the vertical frames 23a and 23a, and then fix the fitting portion 26b of the vertical frames 23a and 23a and the connecting member 26 with fixing members such as screws while it is in contact with the floor surface. Furthermore, if the fixing point is located opposite the outer surface of the door 24, it is preferable that the fixing member is not exposed externally when the door 24 is closed.
[0068] Furthermore, in the booth device 1, it is also possible to configure the vertical frames 23a-23a to be fitted into the connecting member. Additionally, it is possible to configure the position of the connecting member 26 relative to the vertical frames 23a-23a to be adjusted using an adjustment member such as an adjuster.
