Summary of the Invention
Problems to be Solved by the Invention
[0005] By the way, in the conventional partition stand, the pedestal portion and the support column portion are each composed of a plurality of members, and these need to be joined by welding or assembly. For this reason, there has been a problem that the number of members is large, the manufacturing process is complicated, and the manufacturing cost is high.
[0006] Furthermore, even though the partition stand described in Patent Document 1 has a notch for stacking, depending on the shape and structure of the base, the stability when stacked may not be sufficient, leaving room for improvement in storage efficiency and workability.
[0007] Therefore, the main objective of the present invention is to provide a partition stand that can reduce manufacturing costs and has excellent stackability. [Means for solving the problem]
[0008] The inventors of this invention diligently studied means to solve the problems of the prior art described above, and as a result, discovered that by forming the base and support columns of a partition stand by bending plastic rod-shaped members, the number of parts can be reduced and the manufacturing process can be simplified. Furthermore, by forming the base and support columns with rod-shaped members in this way, multiple partition stands can be efficiently stacked. Based on the above discovery, the inventors realized that the problems of the prior art could be solved, and thus completed the present invention. Specifically, the present invention has the following configuration.
[0009] A first aspect of the present invention relates to a partition stand. This partition stand has a base, a support column, and an engaging portion. The base is formed by, for example, bending a plastic rod-shaped member. The support column is also formed by, for example, bending a plastic rod-shaped member. A "plastic rod-shaped member" means a rod-shaped member made of a material that can be bent. As this rod-shaped member, a round metal bar or a deformed reinforcing bar can be used. It is preferable that the rod-shaped members constituting the base and the support column are the same. That is, it is preferable that the support column and the base are integrally formed by bending a single rod-shaped member. However, the base and the support column may be made by welding different rod-shaped members together. The engaging portion is provided on the support column and plays a role in engaging the bridging member. The engaging portion can be formed from a different material than the base and the support column, but it can also be formed from the same material as the base and the support column.
[0010] As described above, the partition stand according to the present invention has a base and a support column formed from plastic rod-shaped members. In particular, when the base and support column are integrally formed by bending a single rod-shaped member, there is no need to construct the base and support column from separate members and join them by welding or assembly, as in the conventional method. Therefore, the number of parts can be reduced, the manufacturing process can be simplified, and manufacturing costs can be significantly reduced. Furthermore, by forming the base and support column from rod-shaped members in this way, a gap is created in the base, into which the support column of another partition stand can be inserted. This makes it possible to efficiently stack multiple partition stands, saving space during storage and transportation.
[0011] In the partition stand according to the present invention, the engaging portion may be made of a magnetic material and capable of engaging with a magnet provided on the bridging member. This configuration allows the bridging member to be easily attached and detached. Furthermore, if a person bumps into the partition stand, the magnet will easily detach from the engaging portion, thus preventing accidents such as tipping over.
[0012] In the partition stand according to the present invention, the base portion may include a polygonal or circular annular portion formed by bending a rod-shaped member. This configuration allows for a suitable area to be secured in the base portion, thereby improving the stability of the partition stand.
[0013] In the partition stand according to the present invention, the base portion may be a closed annular shape in which the starting end of a rod-shaped member is joined to another part. This configuration can increase the rigidity and stability of the base portion.
[0014] In the partition stand according to the present invention, the base portion may have a notch formed between the starting end and the other part of the rod-shaped member. This notch allows the support portion of another stand to be inserted through the notch when stacking multiple partition stands. This makes the stacking operation of the partition stands easier.
[0015] A second aspect of the present invention relates to a partition system. This partition system comprises a plurality of partition stands relating to the first aspect described above, and a bridging member that spans between two partition stands. At least one end of the bridging member is configured to be engageable with an engaging portion.
[0016] The partition system according to the present invention may further include a weight member into which the support column of the partition stand is inserted. By increasing the weight of the partition stand with this weight member, its stability can be further improved.
[0017] In the partition system according to the present invention, the weight member may be a flowerpot. By using the flowerpot as the weight member, the partition system can be given decorativeness.
Effect of the Invention
[0018] According to the present invention, it is possible to reduce the manufacturing cost and provide a partition stand excellent in stacking property.

Mode for Carrying Out the Invention
[0020] The following describes embodiments for carrying out the present invention with reference to the drawings. The present invention is not limited to the embodiments described below, but also includes modifications made to the embodiments described below within the scope that would be obvious to those skilled in the art. In this specification, "A to B" means "A or greater and B or less" unless otherwise specified.
[0021] Figure 1 shows a partition stand 10 according to a first embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Figure 1, the partition stand 10 mainly comprises a base portion 12, a support column portion 13, and an engaging portion 14. The base portion 12 is the base portion for installing the partition stand 10 on a floor or the like. The base portion 12 includes an annular portion 12a formed by bending a plastic rod-shaped member 11. The support column portion 13 is erected upward from the base portion 12. The support column portion 13 is also formed from a plastic rod-shaped member 11. The engaging portion 14 is provided on the upper part of the support column portion 13 and is a portion for engaging the bridging member 20 (see Figure 2).
[0022] In this embodiment, the base portion 12 and the support portion 13 are integrally formed by bending a single rod-shaped member 11. Therefore, the base portion 12 and the support portion 13 do not need to be joined by welding or assembly of separate members, simplifying the manufacturing process. Each component will be described in detail below.
[0023] The rod-shaped member 11 is a rod-shaped member formed from a plastic material. The rod-shaped member 11 is not particularly limited as long as it is made of a material that can be bent, but for example, a metal rod can be used. As a metal rod, iron, stainless steel, aluminum, etc. can be used. The cross-sectional shape of the rod-shaped member 11 is preferably circular, but it may also be polygonal. In this embodiment, a round iron rod with a circular cross-section, or a deformed reinforcing bar with irregularities on the surface of a round iron rod, is used. The diameter of the rod-shaped member 11 can be set appropriately according to the strength and weight required for the partition stand 10. For example, the diameter of the rod-shaped member 11 can be 3 to 15 mm, and is particularly preferably 5 to 10 mm. More specifically, when using round iron, the diameter can be about 6 mm (±1 mm), and when using deformed reinforcing bars, the diameter can be about 13 mm (±1 mm).
[0024] The base portion 12 is formed by bending a rod-shaped member 11. The base portion 12 has an annular portion 12a, an extended portion 12b, and a joint portion 12c. The annular portion 12a of the base portion 12 is a part formed by bending the rod-shaped member 11 into a polygonal or circular shape. In this embodiment, the annular portion 12a is formed in a hexagonal shape. By making the annular portion 12a polygonal, it is possible to improve stability when stacking while ensuring a contact area with the floor surface. The shape of the annular portion 12a is not limited to a hexagon; it can also be a square, pentagon, other polygon, or circle. The size of the annular portion 12a should be set appropriately within a range that ensures the stability of the partition stand 10. For example, the size of the annular portion 12a can be 200 to 500 mm in terms of the distance between opposite sides or diameter, and it is particularly preferable to set it to 150 to 400 mm or less. More specifically, in the case of a hexagon, the distance between opposite sides can be about 300 to 350 mm.
[0025] The extension portion 12b of the base portion 12 is the part that extends from the annular portion 12a toward the support column portion 13. The extension portion 12b can be formed by forming the annular portion 12a with a rod-shaped member 11 and then bending the rod-shaped member 11 toward the center of the annular portion 12a. The length of the extension portion 12b should be set appropriately within a range that allows the support column portion 13 to be positioned in an appropriate location. By providing the extension portion 12b, the support column portion 13 can be positioned near the center of the annular portion 12a, thereby improving the stability of the partition stand 10. In this embodiment, the extension portion 12b is formed in a straight line that extends almost parallel to the floor surface, and its tip is connected to the support column 13. However, the extension portion 12b may be formed to rise from the floor surface of the annular portion 12a at a predetermined angle, or it may be formed to extend almost parallel to the floor surface and then bend upward. The shape of the extension portion 12b can be appropriately selected according to the design of the partition stand 10.
[0026] The joint portion 12c of the base portion 12 is the portion where the starting end of the rod-shaped member 11 is joined to another part of the annular portion 12a. The joint portion 12c can be formed by welding, brazing, or mechanical fastening. In this embodiment, the joint portion 12c is formed by welding. This forms a closed annular shape in the base portion 12, increasing its rigidity. The joint portion 12c may be located at any part of the annular portion 12a, but as shown in Figure 1, it is preferable to form the joint portion 12c at the position where the extension portion 12b begins to extend from the annular portion 12a (i.e., at the base of the extension portion 12b).
[0027] Furthermore, an anti-slip member can be provided on the bottom surface (the surface that contacts the floor) of the base portion 12. Examples of anti-slip members include urethane gel tape, vibration-damping urethane, soft cushions, and rubber sheets. By providing an anti-slip member, the partition stand 10 becomes less likely to slip even on slippery floor surfaces such as mortar, PVC, and punch carpet, thereby improving safety. It is preferable to use an adhesive tape type anti-slip member that is easy to remove and replace.
[0028] The support column 13 is the part that stands upright from the base portion 12. In this embodiment, the base portion 12 and the support column 13 are formed integrally (in a single continuous line) by bending a single rod-shaped member 11. The support column 13 is a part of the rod-shaped member 11 that is continuous with the extension portion 12b. In the embodiment shown in Figure 1, the support column 13 has a main body portion 13a and a folded portion 13b. The main body portion 13a of the support column 13 is the part that extends straight upward from the extension portion 12b. The folded portion 13b is the part formed by folding the rod-shaped member 11 downward at the upper end of the main body portion 13a. The folded portion 13b can be formed, for example, in a U-shape or a hook shape. In this embodiment, the folded portion 13b is formed in a U-shape, and an engaging portion 14 is provided at the tip (lower end) of this folded portion 13b. The height of the main body 13a of the support column 13, that is, the height from the base 12 to the folded-over portion 13b, can be set appropriately according to the intended use of the partition stand. For example, the height of the main body 13a of the support column 13 can be 500 to 1200 mm, and is particularly preferably 600 to 1000 mm. Also, the length of the folded-over portion 13b, that is, the height from the upper end of the support column 13 to the mounting position of the engaging portion 14, can be, for example, 500 to 800 mm, and is particularly preferably 600 to 700 mm.
[0029] The engaging portion 14 is provided on the folded portion 13b of the support portion 13. The engaging portion 14 is a part for engaging the bridging member 20 (see Figure 2). In this embodiment, the engaging portion 14 is made of a separate member from the rod-shaped member 11 and is attached to the folded portion 13b. In this embodiment, the engaging portion 14 is made of a magnetic material. As the engaging portion 14, a plate-shaped or rod-shaped member made of a magnetic material such as iron, nickel, cobalt, or an alloy thereof can be used. The shape of the engaging portion 14 is not limited to a shape that can engage the magnet 22 (see Figure 2) provided on the bridging member 20, and can be, for example, a disc shape, a square plate shape, or a rod shape. In this embodiment, the engaging portion 14 is formed in the shape of a disc (round plate) and is attached to the folded portion 13b. When the engaging portion 14 is plate-shaped, its thickness can be set appropriately within a range that can secure magnetic attraction force with the magnet 22, but can be, for example, 1 to 10 mm, and is particularly preferably 3 to 6 mm. The method of attaching the engaging portion 14 is not particularly limited, but it can be attached by welding, adhesive, or mechanical fastening. In this embodiment, it is fixed to the folded portion 13b by welding. By making the engaging portion 14 a magnetic material, the magnet 22 of the bridging member 20 can be easily attached and detached. In addition, if a person bumps into the partition stand 10, the magnet 22 will easily detach from the engaging portion 14, thus preventing accidents such as tipping over.
[0030] Although not shown in the diagram, the engaging portion 14 does not necessarily have to be made of a separate component from the rod-shaped member 11, and can be formed integrally with the rod-shaped member 11. For example, the engaging portion 14 can be formed by heating and hammering the tip of the rod-shaped member 11 to form a flat plate shape, or by flattening it through press processing. In this case, if the rod-shaped member 11 is made of a magnetic material (for example, iron), it can function as an engaging portion 14. By forming the engaging portion 14 integrally with the rod-shaped member 11 in this way, the number of components can be further reduced, and manufacturing costs can be lowered even further. In addition, the mounting position of the engaging portion 14 is not limited to the folded portion 13b. The engaging portion 14 can also be attached to the middle portion of the main body 13a of the support column 13. In this case, the height of the bridging member 20 can be adjusted, improving the flexibility of the installation of the partition system 100. Furthermore, multiple engaging portions 14 can be provided on the support column 13 at different height positions. This makes it possible to engage multiple bridging members 20 with a single partition stand 10, enabling more complex partition arrangements.
[0031] Figure 2 shows a partition system 100 that utilizes the partition stand 10 described above. The partition system 100 comprises multiple partition stands 10 and connecting members 20 that are stretched between these partition stands 10. In the example in Figure 2, three partition stands 10(a), 10(b), and 10(c) are arranged, and two connecting members 20(a) and 20(b) are stretched between them.
[0032] In this embodiment, the bridging member 20 has a rope 21 and a magnet 22 attached to at least one end of the rope 21. The rope 21 is preferably a fibrous rope and can be made of materials such as Manila hemp, nylon, polyester, or polypropylene. The diameter of the rope 21 should be set appropriately considering the balance between visibility as a partition and ease of handling. The diameter of the rope 21 can be, for example, 3 to 15 mm, and is particularly preferably 3 to 5 mm. The length of the rope 21 should be set appropriately according to the spacing of the partition stands 10. The length of the rope 21 can be, for example, 1000 to 3000 mm, and is particularly preferably 1200 to 2000 mm. The end of the rope 21 can be formed into a loop by end treatment such as eye splicing, and the magnet 22 can be attached to this loop.
[0033] The magnet 22 is a magnet that can be magnetically attracted to the engaging portion 14 of the partition stand 10. A permanent magnet can be used as the magnet 22, such as a ferrite magnet, neodymium magnet, or samarium-cobalt magnet. The shape of the magnet 22 is not particularly limited, but can be disc-shaped, rectangular, ring-shaped, etc. The magnet 22 can be inserted through the loop of the rope 21 or attached to the end of the rope 21 via a connector such as a card ring or carabiner.
[0034] When installing the partition system 100, at least one end of the bridging member 20 is engaged with the engagement portion 14 of the partition stand 10. In the example in Figure 2, magnets 22 provided at one end of the bridging members 20(a) and 20(b) are magnetically attracted to the engagement portion 14 of the partition stand 10. The other end of the bridging member 20 can be directly tied and fixed to the support portion 13 of another partition stand 10, or hooked onto a part other than the engagement portion 14. Alternatively, magnets 22 can be provided at both ends of the bridging member 20, and both ends can be magnetically attracted to the engagement portion 14. By providing magnets 22 at one or both ends of the bridging member 20, the attachment and detachment of the bridging member 20 becomes easier, improving the efficiency of the partition system 100 installation work. Preferably, the magnetic attraction force between the magnets 22 and the engagement portion 14 is set to be strong enough to hold the rope 21 under normal use, but strong enough to easily detach if a person bumps into it. This allows it to function as a partition while preventing accidents such as falls.
[0035] Figure 3 shows multiple partition stands 10 stacked on top of each other. In the example in Figure 3, three partition stands 10(a), 10(b), and 10(c) are stacked. When stacking the partition stands 10, the base portion 12 of the upper partition stand 10(b) is placed on top of the base portion 12 of the lower partition stand 10(a). At this time, the support column 13 of the upper partition stand 10(b) is inserted into the space inside the annular portion 12a of the base portion 12 of the lower partition stand 10(a). In this way, because the base portion 12 includes an annular portion 12a formed by bending a rod-shaped member 11, a space is formed inside this annular portion 12a. Since the support columns 13 of other partition stands 10 can be inserted into this space, multiple partition stands 10 can be stacked efficiently. This makes it possible to save space during storage and transportation.
[0036] In this embodiment, the annular portion 12a of the base portion 12 is formed in a hexagonal shape, which improves stacking stability. Because a hexagon has multiple sides, the sides of the upper and lower base portions 12 come into contact when stacked, making positioning easier and preventing lateral displacement. Also, because a hexagon has more sides than a square or pentagon, it is closer to a circular shape, and the workability when inserting the support portion 13 into the inside of the annular portion 12a is also good. Thus, by making the annular portion 12a hexagonal, both stacking stability and workability can be achieved.
[0037] Figure 4 shows a modified version of the partition stand 10 shown in Figure 1. The partition stand 10 shown in Figure 4 has the same basic configuration as that in Figure 1, but the configuration of the base part 12 is different. Specifically, a notch 12d is provided instead of the joint part 12c in Figure 1.
[0038] The notch 12d is a gap formed between the starting end of the rod-shaped member 11 and the other part of the annular portion 12a. By providing the notch 12d, the process of joining the starting end of the rod-shaped member 11 to the other part of the annular portion 12a (welding, brazing, etc.) can be omitted. This further simplifies the manufacturing process and reduces manufacturing costs.
[0039] Furthermore, the notch 12d improves workability during stacking. The notch 12d enlarges the opening to the space inside the annular portion 12a, making it easier to insert the support column 13 of other partition stands 10. In particular, by appropriately setting the position of the notch 12d, the insertion direction of the support column 13 can be guided, improving the efficiency of the stacking work.
[0040] Figure 5 shows the partition stand 10 with the weight member 30 inserted. The weight member 30 is a component inserted into the support column 13 of the partition stand 10, and plays a role in improving stability by adding weight to the partition stand 10.
[0041] The weight member 30 is not particularly limited as long as it is a member having a hole or opening that can penetrate the support column 13. In this embodiment, a flower pot is used as the weight member 30. The flower pot has a hole for draining water in the center of its bottom and an opening at the top. Also, soil and plants can be placed inside the flower pot. For this reason, the support column 13 can be easily inserted into the flower pot. Furthermore, by putting soil and plants in the flower pot, the weight of the weight member 30 can be further increased, and the stability of the partition stand 10 can be further enhanced.
[0042] Furthermore, by using flowerpots as weight members 30, decorative elements can be added to the partition system 100. For example, by using flowerpots planted with ornamental plants or flowers as weight members 30, the aesthetic appeal of the space where the partition is installed can be improved. In addition, by changing the design of the plants or flowerpots according to the theme of the event or the season, a variety of presentations can be made.
[0043] The weight member 30 is not limited to a flowerpot; other containers or components can be used. For example, a cylindrical component made of metal or resin, a concrete block, or a container filled with water can be used. The weight of the weight member 30 should be set appropriately within a range that ensures the stability of the partition stand 10. The weight of the weight member 30 can be, for example, 1 to 10 kg or less, and is particularly preferably 2 to 5 kg.
[0044] Figure 6 shows a partition stand 10 according to a second embodiment of the present invention. The partition stand 10 according to the second embodiment has the same basic configuration as the first embodiment, but the shape of the annular portion 12a of the base portion 12 is different. Specifically, in the first embodiment the annular portion 12a was hexagonal, whereas in the second embodiment the annular portion 12a is formed in a circular shape.
[0045] Making the annular portion 12a circular makes it easier to bend the rod-shaped member 11. When forming polygons such as hexagons, it is necessary to bend the rod-shaped member 11 at each vertex, but in the case of a circular shape, it can be bent continuously with a constant curvature, making processing easier. In addition, the circular annular portion 12a gives a softer appearance, so it can be used interchangeably with the first embodiment depending on the atmosphere of the installation location. Even when the annular portion 12a is circular, stacking is of course possible. The other configurations are the same as in the first embodiment. That is, the relationship between the support column 13, the engaging portion 14, the connecting member 20, and the use of the weight member 30 are the same as those described in the first embodiment.
[0046] Figure 7 shows a partition stand 10 according to a third embodiment of the present invention. The partition stand 10 according to the third embodiment has the same basic configuration as the first embodiment, but the structure of the engaging portion 14 is different. Specifically, in the third embodiment, the engaging portion 14 is formed by welding a disc-shaped member to the upper end of the main body portion 13a of the support column portion 13, omitting the folded portion 13b in the first embodiment described above. By forming the engaging portion 14 as a disc-shaped member and welding it to the upper end of the main body portion 13a in this way, the process of forming the folded portion 13b can be omitted, further simplifying the manufacturing process. Also, if a flowerpot is to be inserted into the support column portion 13 as shown in Figure 5, omitting the folded portion 13b as shown in Figure 7 has the advantage of making it easier to insert the support column portion 13 into the hole at the bottom of the flowerpot.
[0047] Figure 8 shows a partition stand 10 according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention. The partition stand 10 according to the fourth embodiment has the same basic configuration as the first embodiment, but the shape of the extension portion 12b of the base portion 12 and the structure of the engaging portion 14 are different. Specifically, in the first embodiment, the extension portion 12b extended linearly from the annular portion 12a toward the support column portion 13, whereas in the third embodiment, the extension portion 12b is formed in a hexagonal shape. That is, in the third embodiment, a hexagonal extension portion 12b is formed from the annular portion 12a, and the tip of this extension portion 12b is connected to the support column portion 13. The engaging portion 14 is formed by welding a disc-shaped member to the upper end of the main body portion 13a of the support column portion 13, similar to the third embodiment described above. By making the base portion 12 a shape that combines two hexagonal shapes (annular portion 12a and extension portion 12b), the contact area can be increased, and the stability of the partition stand 10 can be further improved.
[0048] Figure 9 shows a partition stand 10 according to a fifth embodiment of the present invention. The partition stand 10 according to the fifth embodiment has the same basic configuration as the first embodiment, but the shape of the base portion 12 and the structure of the engaging portion 14 are different. Specifically, in the first embodiment, the base portion 12 had a hexagonal annular portion 12a and a linear extension portion 12b, whereas in the fifth embodiment, the entire base portion 12 is a nonagonal annular shape. This nonagon is composed of six acute angles and three obtuse angles, with one obtuse angle positioned between two pairs of acute angles. The support column 13 is positioned near the center of this annular portion. The engaging portion 14 is formed by welding a disc-shaped member to the upper end of the main body portion 13a of the support column 13, similar to the third embodiment described above. By making the base portion 12 a nonagonal annular shape in this way, stability can be improved while securing the contact area. In addition, the shape with an obtuse angle positioned between pairs of acute angles presents an appearance like a clover or flower, thus improving the design of the partition stand 10. Furthermore, this shape makes it easier to position the units when stacking them. In addition, the shape shown in Figure 9 allows for a smaller base portion 12 while maintaining almost the same stability as the larger base portion 12 shown in Figure 1. Moreover, if a flowerpot is to be inserted into the support portion 13 as shown in Figure 5, adopting the shape shown in Figure 9 has the advantage of allowing the partition stand 10 to be moved with the flowerpot still on the base portion 12.
[0049] In this specification, embodiments of the present invention have been described with reference to the drawings in order to express the content of the present invention.
