Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to the improvement of a panel connecting device, that is, a connecting structure of panels used to divide a room into multiple sections or as a shielding wall.The purpose is to easily and reliably move connecting panels at any angle The idea is to make the connection possible and to completely prevent the connection from wobbling.

The present invention will be explained below with reference to the attached drawings. The connecting device of the present invention includes an end frame member 2 attached to the end face of the connection side of the panel 1, and opposing end frame members 2, 2 of the adjacent panels 1, 1. A combination of a connecting member 3 for connecting the ends, and a cap 4 for covering the upper and lower end surfaces of the end frame 2 and the connecting member 3 and preventing rattling between the connecting member 3 and the end frame 2. An end frame member 2 that is configured as
As shown in FIG. 1, it is fixed to the end face of the panel 1 by appropriate means such as screws, and panel abutment plates 5 and 6 are formed at the center and both side edges in cross-sectional view. are integrally connected to the panel 1 by attaching them to the side end surfaces of the panel 1 with screws 7, and connecting portions 7' between the central abutment plate 5 and the side abutment plates 6, 6.
A groove 8 having an opening 9 is formed on the both outer sides of the connecting portion 7', and a groove 8 having an opening 9 is formed over almost the entire length of the upper and lower sides, and a threading gap 10 for a cap mounting screw is formed on the inside of the connecting portion 7'.
As shown in the figure, a cover material 11 that can make the side end surfaces of the end frame material 2 flush with each other can be fitted between the ends 7'. The connecting member 3 that connects the upper end frame members 2, 2 attached to the adjacent panels 1, 1 is a synthetic resin long plate with the same length as the end frame member 2, as shown in Fig. 2 A and B. Engagement protrusions 1 that can be loosely fitted to both longitudinal edges of the groove 8 in accordance with the internal shape of the groove 8.
2, 12, and the engaging protrusion 1
2 and 12 are fitted into the grooves 8 of the frame members 2 at both ends attached to the adjacent panels 1 and 1 to be connected, respectively, so that a plurality of Panel 1... is attached to one panel 1, and the grooves 8 on both sides of the end frame material 2 are attached to the other panel 1.
The grooves 8 on one side of one panel 1 and the grooves 8 on one side of the other panel 1 can be connected in a planar manner by connecting them with connecting members 3 corresponding to the grooves 8 on both sides of the end frame member 2 attached to the panel. The groove 8 on the side corresponding to the groove 8
By connecting them by a connecting member 3, they are connected at a desired connecting angle from orthogonal or planar to orthogonal.The upper and lower ends of the connecting member 3 are provided with engaging protrusions 12, 12 on both sides. A notch recess 13 is formed by leaving the remaining part. The cap 4, which covers the upper and lower end surfaces of the end frame member 2 and ensures the fitting and support of the connecting member 3 to the end frame member 2, is shown in FIG.
As shown in (b), screws (not shown) passed through the mounting holes 14, 14 are inserted into the threaded spaces 10,
10, and the mounting surface 15 has the groove 8 of the end frame member 2.
projections 16, 16 having a shape and height that can fit into the opening 9 of the end frame member 2 and come into contact with the notch recess 13 of the connecting member 3;
When attached to the upper and lower ends, the protrusions 16,1
6 abuts and holds the connecting member 3 from above and below, and the side surfaces of the protrusions 16, 16 abut inside the notch 13 portion of the groove 8, and the opening 9 of the connecting member 3 It regulates outward displacement.

According to the panel connecting device of the present invention as described above, when the planar or orthogonal connection shown in FIGS.
At this time, the other opening edge 9'' is in close contact with the opening edge 9'' of the other end frame member 2, thereby connecting the connecting member 3. It is possible to reliably prevent the end frame member 2 from wobbling. In addition, when the panels 1, 1 are connected at a desired angle other than right angles or 180 degrees, as shown in FIG. A gap S is created between the opening edge 9'' and the opening edge 9'' of the adjacent end frame member 2, and a gap T is created between the connecting member 3 and the end frame member 2 due to this gap S gap T. Although there is a risk of rattling between the cap and the frame member 2, in this case, the protrusions 16, 16 are formed on the mounting surface 15 of the cap 4 as described above, and when the cap is attached to the end frame member 2, the protrusions 16, 16 are formed. 16 in the groove 8 of the end frame member 2 in the connected state as shown in FIG.
The end frame member 2 and the connecting member 3 are fitted into the opening 9 of the connecting member 3 and the notch recess 13 of the connecting member 3.
It is designed to prevent rattling. That is, the protrusions 16, 16 formed on the cap 4 are similar to the protrusions 16, 16 formed on the cap 4 that are adjacent to each other on the two caps attached to the end frame members 2, 2 in the connected state shown in FIG.
The distance P between them is the distance Q of the notch recess 13 of the connecting member 3.
The shape and formation position are taken into consideration so that it is the same as
At that time, the adjacent caps 4, 4 are brought into contact with each other, so that the protrusions 16, 16 fitted into the groove openings 9 of each end frame member 2 are tightly fitted into the notch recesses 13 of the connecting member 3. This makes it possible to prevent the connecting member 3 from shifting or rattling.

The panel connection device of the present invention as described above has a connection structure in which the end frame member 2 attached to the panel side end face and the connection member 3 are fitted and latched.
Since the protrusions 16, 16 that fit into the notch recess 13 of the connecting member 3 are formed on the cap 4 attached to the lower end surface, the protrusions 16, 16 of the cap 4 will fit into the notch recess 13 when the panels 1 are connected and assembled. By fitting into the cap, it is possible to prevent displacement and wobbling of the connecting member 3, and in turn, it is possible to reliably prevent wobbling of the connecting portion of the panels 1 and 1. Moreover, it is possible to prevent the connecting member 3 from wobbling, and also to prevent the cap from wobbling without preparing a separate wobbling prevention member. protrusion 1 on 4
6 and 16 and a notched recess 13 in the connecting member 3, a perfect rattling prevention effect can be achieved.
