[0003]

[0001] This invention relates to partition panels, and more particularly to partition panels that enable display of products and the like without installing display shelves on the floor surface.

Background Art

[0002] In various event venues such as exhibition venues and trade show venues, a large number of partition panels with their surfaces painted and woven fabrics or decorative papers pasted thereon are used, and booths are set up using nails or the like. However, after use, the partition panels were often discarded as they were.

[0003] On the other hand, a booth structure has been proposed (Patent Document 1) in which two thin rectangular panels with their surfaces painted and woven fabrics or decorative papers pasted thereon are overlapped with a gap therebetween, a metal member having a concave cross-section is fitted into their four peripheral edges and fixed with metal fittings or the like to manufacture a partition panel, a double-sided adhesive tape or a surface fastener is fixed to the concave portion of the partition panel, a plurality of partition panels are fitted and connected to the protruding portions of the columns, and a c-shaped crossbar is fitted into the upper end surface and the lower end surface of the partition panel to improve the appearance and reinforce the partition panel to set up a booth so that it can be easily assembled and disassembled.

[0004] However, in the partition panel described in Patent Document 1, the partition panel and the column are fixed with a double-sided adhesive tape or a surface fastener, and the partition panel is fitted into the upper c-shaped crossbar and the lower c-shaped crossbar on its upper end surface and lower end surface to be held in a standing state. Therefore, if an impact is applied to the partition panel and the partition panel comes off from the upper c-shaped crossbar or the lower c-shaped crossbar, the partition panel may fall down.

[0005] On the other hand, the inventors of this case have proposed a structure in which the bottom surface of the side groove of the partition panel and the support column are magnetically attached with a magnetic plate, a connecting support column of a connector is inserted into the upper end opening of the support column, and the insertion pin of the connector is inserted into the pin insertion hole of the reinforcing member at the upper corner of the partition panel to connect the support column and the partition panel, thereby enabling easy assembly and disassembly, possessing high strength, preventing the partition panel from unexpectedly falling over due to impact, and further enabling its use as a wide, flat panel surface (Patent Document 2).

[0006] Furthermore, the inventors of this invention have proposed a partition panel comprising a rectangular frame and thin side panels on both sides, wherein the rectangular frame is constructed by connecting at least the upper and lower ends of the left and right vertical bars with horizontal bars, one of a pair of hook-and-loop fasteners with a width that provides sufficient fastening strength to prevent damage to the side panels when removed is fixed to the panel mounting surfaces of the vertical and horizontal bars of the rectangular frame, either continuously or discontinuously in a shape corresponding to the outer shape of the side panel, and the other of the hook-and-loop fasteners with a width that provides sufficient fastening strength to prevent damage to the side panels when removed is fixed to the back surface of the side panel, either continuously or discontinuously along the outer shape of the side panel, and the side panels can be detachably attached to the panel mounting surfaces of the vertical and horizontal bars of the rectangular frame by fastening the hook-and-loop fasteners (Patent Document 3). [Prior art documents] [Patent Documents]

[0007] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Publication No. 2001-90232 [Patent Document 2] Utility Model Registration No. 3151022 Gazette [Patent Document 3] Japanese Patent Publication No. 2012-136870 [Disclosure of the Invention] [Problems that the invention aims to solve]

[0008] However, the partition panels described in Patent Documents 2 and 3 had a problem in that if you wanted to display products, you had to install display shelves near the panels, which resulted in wasted space around the display shelves.

[0009] In view of the above problems, the present invention aims to provide a partition panel that allows goods to be displayed without installing display shelves on the floor. [Means for solving the problem]

[0010] Therefore, the partition panel according to the present invention is a partition panel in which adjacent panels are connected by support columns, wherein the panel is composed of a rectangular frame sandwiched between thin side panels, recessed grooves extending vertically are formed on both sides of the panel, while the outer cross-sectional shape of both sides of the support column fits into the recessed grooves on both sides of the panel, a plurality of locking grooves are formed on the support column in a vertical arrangement between adjacent panels, the base of a shelf bracket is locked into one of the plurality of locking grooves, the shelf bracket extends horizontally, and a shelf plate is mounted on the shelf bracket.

[0011] One of the features of the present invention is that multiple locking grooves are provided between the edges on both sides of the support columns that connect adjacent panels, the base of the shelf bracket is locked into the locking grooves, and the shelf bracket is extended laterally to mount the shelf plate.

[0012] This allows shelves for displaying products to be directly attached to the partition panels, making effective use of the space below the shelves and preventing wasted space, as can occur when display shelves are installed on the floor or elsewhere.

[0013] The locking grooves may be in one row or multiple rows, for example, two rows. If multiple rows of locking grooves are used, the shelf brackets may be individual or the bases of multiple shelf brackets may be connected to each other.

[0014] Furthermore, while a rectangular frame may be constructed by assembling vertical and horizontal bars into a rectangular shape and firmly fixing them with nails or the like, configuring it to be disassembled and assembled allows the partition panels to be disassembled and transported in a compact form, simplifying the transport process and further reducing transport costs. In other words, it is preferable to configure the rectangular frame so that it can be disassembled and assembled into vertical bars, horizontal bars, and side panels by detachably connecting the vertical and horizontal bars.

[0015] The partition panel according to the present invention is a partition panel in which adjacent panels are connected by support columns, wherein the panels are constructed by sandwiching a rectangular frame between thin side panels and fixing them to each other with fasteners, recessed grooves extending vertically are formed on both sides of the panels, the outer cross-sectional shape of both sides of the support columns fits into the recessed grooves on both sides of the panels, a plurality of locking grooves are formed on the support columns in a vertical arrangement between adjacent panels, the base of a shelf bracket is locked into one of the plurality of locking grooves, the shelf bracket extends horizontally, and a shelf plate is mounted on the shelf bracket.

[0016] Furthermore, the partition panel according to the present invention is a partition panel in which adjacent panels are connected by support columns, wherein the panel is composed of a rectangular frame sandwiched between thin side panels, recessed grooves extending vertically are formed on both sides of the panel, one of the male and female hook-and-loop fasteners is fixed continuously or discontinuously to the panel mounting surfaces of the vertical and horizontal bars constituting the rectangular frame, the other of the male and female hook-and-loop fasteners is fixed continuously or discontinuously to the back surface of the thin side panel, and the side panel is detachably attached to the panel mounting surfaces of the vertical and horizontal bars of the rectangular frame by fastening the male and female hook-and-loop fasteners, while the portions on both sides of the support column have an outer cross-sectional shape that fits into the recessed grooves on both sides of the panel, a plurality of locking grooves are formed on the support column in a vertical arrangement between adjacent panels, the base of a shelf bracket is locked into one of the plurality of locking grooves, the shelf bracket extends laterally, and a shelf plate is mounted on the shelf bracket.

[0017] By attaching the rectangular frame and the thin side panels detachably using male and female hook-and-loop fasteners, the side panels can be attached to and removed from the rectangular frame. However, the side panels themselves are thinner and lighter than partition panels, and it is sufficient to manufacture and prepare thin, lightweight side panels of different thicknesses and designs. This allows for inexpensive manufacturing and transportation, resulting in significant cost reductions.

[0018] The fastening strength of hook-and-loop fasteners can be adjusted by changing their width. On the other hand, because the side panels are thin and lightweight, if the hook-and-loop fasteners are too tight, the side panels can be firmly attached to the rectangular frame, but there is a risk of damage to the side panels when they are removed. Therefore, it is important to adjust the width of the hook-and-loop fasteners to obtain a fastening strength that does not damage the side panels when they are removed.

[0019] If a rectangular frame is constructed using only vertical and horizontal slats, there may be concerns about insufficient strength of the partition panels depending on the booth being set up in the exhibition hall. Therefore, it is advisable to fix diagonal reinforcing slats between the vertical and / or horizontal slats of the rectangular frame to increase its strength.

[0020] By attaching the rectangular frame and side panels so that the left and right vertical bars are offset inward from the side edges of the side panels and the upper horizontal bar is offset downward from the upper edge, grooves can be formed along the entire length of the left and right sides and the upper edge of the partition panel.

[0021] Furthermore, the support columns for connecting adjacent partition panels should have a cross-sectional outer shape that fits into the grooves formed in the aforementioned partition panels. A magnetic plate should be fixed to one side of the support column and the bottom of the side groove of the partition panel, and a magnetic plate or metal plate that is magnetically attached to the magnetic plate should be fixed to the other side, or the support columns should be made of a magnetic metal material.

[0022] The partition panel according to the present invention is a partition panel in which adjacent panels are connected by columns. The panel is formed by sandwiching a rectangular frame with thin side panels. Concave grooves are formed vertically on both side portions of the panel. On the other hand, both side portions of the column have an outer cross-sectional shape that fits into the concave grooves on both sides of the panel. A magnetic plate is fixed to one of the side surface of the column and the bottom surface of the side concave groove of the partition panel, and a magnetic plate or a metal plate magnetically attached to the magnetic plate is fixed to the other, or the column is made of a metal material that can be magnetically attached. Both side portions of the column have an outer cross-sectional shape that fits into the concave grooves on both sides of the panel. A plurality of locking grooves are formed vertically side by side between adjacent panels on the column, and the base of a shelf bracket is locked into one of the plurality of steps of locking grooves. The shelf bracket extends horizontally, and a shelf plate is mounted on the shelf bracket.

[0023] By the way, when connecting a column having a square cross-section and a partition panel with concave grooves formed on its side surface, for example, a panel structure (product: Octanorm system) in which a long groove is formed in the longitudinal direction of the column and a connector on the side surface of the partition panel is inserted into the long groove to connect the column and the partition panel, and the partition panel cannot be connected.

[0024] As a result, when a user of the Octanorm system wants to install the panel structure (hereinafter referred to as the second panel structure) side by side with the panel structure according to the present invention, a gap is formed between adjacent structures, and the variation of booths is conspicuous in various event venues such as exhibition halls and exhibition venues, and the appearance is poor.

[0025] Therefore, when installing the partition panel of the structure according to the present invention and the partition panel of the second structure side by side, the column has an outer cross-sectional shape that fits into the concave grooves on both sides of the panels on both sides, and a long groove is formed in the entire longitudinal length of the column. A connector is provided on the side portion of the second partition panel, and the connector is inserted into the long groove of the column so that different partition panels of the two structures are connected to the column. A connecting structure of the partition panel is provided.

[0026] In the above description, a coupler is provided on the second partition panel, and this coupler is inserted into the long groove of the column for connection. However, a connectable block that can be magnetically attached can be attached to the second partition panel, and this connectable block is fitted into the concave groove of the partition panel according to the present invention and magnetically attached for connection. It is also possible to insert and connect the coupler of the second partition panel into the long groove of the second column.

[0028] The present invention will now be described in detail based on specific examples. Figures 1 to 19 show preferred embodiments of the partition panel according to the present invention. The partition panel is constructed by connecting a plurality of adjacent panels 10 with support columns 11, and the panels 10 come in various dimensions such as height 2700 mm x width 1000 mm, height 2500 mm x width 1000 mm, height 2400 mm x width 1000 mm, height 2100 mm x width 900 mm, height 1800 mm x width 900 mm, etc.

[0029] Panel 10 is secured to a rectangular frame 10A by sandwiching it on both sides with thin side panels 10B and fastening them with screws, nails, or adhesive. The side panels 10B are decorated by painting their surfaces and attaching woven fabric or decorative paper to them.

[0030] This panel 10 can also be constructed by attaching the rectangular panel 10A and the side panel 10B to each other so that they can be detached, rather than fixing them with screws or the like, as shown in Figure 3, by fastening male and female hook-and-loop fasteners 12. In this case, the rectangular frame 10A can be manufactured by placing horizontal bars 10A-2 vertically between the left and right vertical bars 10A-1 with a gap between them, and connecting them using a snap-fit ​​structure.

[0031] If strength is required, the vertical stiles 10A-1 and horizontal stiles 10A-2 of the panel 10 may be secured by driving staples into them. Alternatively, the strength of the panel 10 can be increased by securing diagonal reinforcing stiles, with their ends processed at right angles, to the vertical stiles 10A-1 and horizontal stiles 10A-2 using staples or the like.

[0032] Alternatively, the rectangular frame 10 can be constructed by drilling mounting holes at both ends of the vertical bars 10A-1 and fitting in mounting fixtures having screw holes, while drilling through holes in the upper and lower horizontal bars 10A-2 and inserting mounting screws to screw into the mounting fixtures. For the intermediate horizontal bar 10A-2, the intermediate horizontal bar 10A-2 can also be attached by drilling mounting holes at both ends of the horizontal bar 10A-2 and fitting in mounting fixtures having screw holes, while drilling through holes in the vertical bars 10A-1 and inserting mounting screws to screw into the mounting fixtures.

[0033] If the rectangular frame 10A is configured in an assembly-type manner as described above, the panel 10 can be easily transported by disassembling it into the rectangular frame 10A and the side panel 10B, stacking the side panel 10B, and disassembling the rectangular frame 10A into vertical bars 10A-1 and horizontal bars 10A-2, and then storing them in a cardboard box, for example.

[0034] In this configuration, when the panel 10 is assembled, one of the male and female hook-and-loop fasteners 12, processed to a width that provides sufficient fastening strength to prevent damage to the side panel 10B when it is removed, is fixed to the panel mounting surfaces of the vertical bars 10A-1 and horizontal bars 10A-2 of the rectangular frame 10A using adhesive or double-sided adhesive tape to conform to the shape of the side panel 10A. The other of the male and female hook-and-loop fasteners 12 is fixed to the back surface of the side panel 10B using adhesive or double-sided adhesive tape to conform to the shape of the side panel 10B, so that the side panel 10B can be attached to the rectangular frame 10A in a detachable manner.

[0035] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 2, the rectangular frame 10A and the side panel 10B are attached such that the left and right vertical bars 10A-1 are offset inward from the side edges of the side panel 10B, and the upper horizontal bar 10A-2 is offset downward from the upper edge, thereby forming grooves along the entire length of both the left and right sides and the upper edge of the panel 10.

[0036] Reinforcement brackets are fixed to the four upper and lower corners of panel 10 with screws, and a reinforcement bracket with a grooved cross-section is fitted into the upper recessed groove of panel 10 and fixed with screws.

[0037] The reinforcing bracket at the upper corner of panel 10 has an L-shape on its side and a grooved cross-section, with a stopper pin insertion hole formed in the bottom surface of the upper edge of the groove, while the other reinforcing bracket has an L-shape on its side and a grooved cross-section on its vertical edge.

[0038] Furthermore, multiple magnetic plates 13, for example, four magnetic plates 13, are fixed to the bottom surface of the grooves on both sides of the panel 10, spaced apart in the vertical direction.

[0039] On the other hand, the support column 11 has a magnetically attachable metal connecting part 11A with a square cross-section that fits into the grooves on the side edges of the panels 10 which are arranged in a continuous line, and the upper end of the support column 11 is open.

[0040] Furthermore, the support column 11 has a rectangular cross-section locking projection 11B formed between the connecting parts 11A, and locking grooves 11C are formed in the locking projection 11B at intervals above and below, with the base of the shelf bracket being locked into one of the locking grooves 11C.

[0041] The support column 11 can be of various three-dimensional shapes as shown in Figures 26 to 40. Here, in the figures, 11D is a locking groove into which the connector 21 of the second partition panel 10 shown in Figure 41 is locked, and 11E is a cover for the support column 11.

[0042] Furthermore, the panel 10 is mounted on the base 14, and the support column 11 between adjacent panels 1 is fitted into the column 14A of the base 14. The base 14 can be configured as follows: as shown in Figure 7, a narrow base with a column 14A erected in the center; as shown in Figure 8, a wider base with a column 14A erected in the center for improved stability; and as shown in Figure 9, a wider base with a column 14A erected at the ends in the width direction.

[0043] Furthermore, the panel 10 and the support column 11 are connected by a connecting fitting 15. This connecting fitting 15 is constructed by fixing a connecting support column 15A in the center of the connecting plate and fixing an insertion pin 15B on the side that is inserted into a stopper pin insertion hole on the panel 10 side. The connecting plates come in various shapes, including a straight plane as shown in Figure 10, an L-shape as shown in Figure 11, a T-shape as shown in Figure 12, a cross shape as shown in Figure 13, a straight plane with a larger diameter connecting support column 16B as shown in Figure 14, and a shape for end panels in which a connecting support column 16A is erected at the end of the connecting plate 16A as shown in Figure 15.

[0044] Furthermore, through holes are formed in the corners of the upper groove of the panel 10 and in the reinforcing brackets, extending downwards, allowing the power cord to be inserted into the panel 10.

[0045] On the other hand, the shelf bracket 17 can have a planar L-shape as shown in Figures 16 to 20, or a bifurcated shape as shown in Figure 21 to 224. Here, 17A is the mounting edge of the shelf plate 20, 17B is the base of the shelf bracket 17, and 17C is the locking mechanism. Note that, as shown in Figure 20, the base 17B of the shelf bracket 17 may be curved in the opposite direction as shown in Figure 20.

[0046] When assembling panel 10, the vertical bars 10A-1 and horizontal bars 10A-2 are laid out in a rectangular shape, and the vertical bars 10A-1 and horizontal bars 10A-2 are connected by interlocking to assemble the rectangular frame 10A, and staples are driven into the vertical bars 10A-1 and horizontal bars 10A-2 to secure them.

[0047] Next, one of the male and female hook-and-loop fasteners 12 of a predetermined width is fixed to the vertical bars 10A-1 and horizontal bars 10A-2 of the rectangular frame 10A using adhesive or double-sided adhesive tape in a shape corresponding to the outer shape of the side panel 10B. On the other hand, the other of the male and female hook-and-loop fasteners 12 is also fixed to the back surface of the side panel 10B using adhesive or double-sided adhesive tape in a shape corresponding to its outer shape, and the side panel 10B is detachably attached to the rectangular frame 10A by fastening the male and female hook-and-loop fasteners 12 together.

[0048] At this time, the dimensions are set such that the side edge of the rectangular frame 10A is offset inward from the side edge of the side panel 10B, and the upper edge is offset downward from the upper edge, and grooves are formed on both sides and the top of the panel 10.

[0049] When changing the decoration or design of side panel 10B, you can simply prepare and replace it with a side panel 10B that has decorations and designs that match the user's preferences or the atmosphere of the exhibition venue.

[0050] Although panel 10 is designed to be assembled, a fixing structure using screws or nails instead of hook-and-loop tape 12 may also be used.

[0051] When assembling partition panels, a base 14 of a shape appropriate to the situation in which the partition panels are being assembled is selected and arranged on the floor surface, and the support columns 11 are held in place by the base 14. Next, multiple panels 10 are arranged, and the support columns 11 are fitted into the grooves on the side edges of adjacent panels 10. The magnetic plates 13 of the panels 10 then firmly magnetize to the support columns 11, temporarily connecting the multiple panels 10. At this time, if the magnetic force of the magnetic plates 13 is strong, the vertical position of the panels 10 relative to the support columns 11 can be adjusted, so that the support columns 11 and panels 10 can be erected stably and reliably even on an uneven floor surface.

[0052] Next, using a connecting fitting 14 having a straight connecting plate, the connecting fitting 14 is fitted into the groove of the panel 10 so as to span across adjacent panels 10, and the connecting support column 14A is inserted into the upper end opening of the support column 11, and the stopper pin 14B is inserted into the pin insertion hole, thereby securely connecting adjacent panels 10.

[0053] Once the panels 10 are connected, the locking groove 11C of the support column 11 at the appropriate height is selected, the base 17B of the shelf bracket 17 is fitted into it, the locking screw 17C is operated to lock the shelf bracket 17, and the other shelf brackets 17 are locked to the support column 11 in the same manner. Then, the shelf plate 20 is placed on top of the shelf brackets 17, and the shelf can be attached to the shelf partition panel as shown in Figure 1.

[0054] To disassemble it, simply follow the reverse procedure described above.

[0055] As described above, the partition panel 10 and the support column 12 can be easily connected and easily disassembled. Moreover, not only are the partition panel 10 and the support column 12 magnetically attached, but the partition panel 10 and the support column 12 can also be firmly connected by a connector 14 consisting of a connecting plate 14A, an insertion pin 14C, and a connecting support column 14B, so even if the partition panel 10 is subjected to a large impact for some reason, the partition panel 10 will not fall over.
