Connection structure for partition walls

Abstract

The present invention provides a connection structure for partition walls. The connection structure enables easy connection or disconnection of the frames of a partition wall to or from each other by manipulating a locking lever rotatably coupled to a locking bar. Further, the connection structure can easily realize an increase in the height of a post, required according to an increase in the height of a partition wall, by vertically connecting a plurality of posts to each other using a post cap.

1 . A connection structure for partition walls, comprising: 
 a rectangular frame forming a partition wall in which one or more frames face each other and are connected together to form the partition wall, with a plurality of longitudinal holes having a rectangular shape formed at predetermined positions, spaced apart from each other, on each of the frames;    a locking bar inserted into the aligned longitudinal holes of the facing frames;    a locking protrusion provided at a lower end of the locking bar such that, when the locking protrusion is rotated at a predetermined angle after the locking protrusion has passed through a lower one of the aligned longitudinal holes, the locking protrusion is caught in the lower one of the aligned longitudinal holes and prevents the locking bar from being removed from the aligned longitudinal holes;    a locking lever rotatably coupled to an upper end of the locking bar such that, when the locking lever is rotated in a closing direction after the locking protrusion has been caught by the longitudinal holes with the locking lever in an opened state, the locking lever brings facing sides of the frames into close connection with each other; and    a compression protrusion provided at a predetermined position on the locking lever to compress the facing frames and closely connect the frames to each other.    
   
   
       2 . A connection structure for partition walls, comprising: 
 a plurality of rectangular frames connected to each other in a horizontal direction and in a vertical direction, thus forming a partition wall, the frames of the partition wall being supported by posts at outermost sides thereof, with a plurality of longitudinal holes having a rectangular shape formed at predetermined positions, spaced apart from each other, of each of the frames;    a locking bar inserted into the aligned longitudinal holes of the facing frames;    a locking protrusion provided at a lower end of the locking bar such that, when the locking protrusion is rotated at a predetermined angle after the locking protrusion has passed through a lower one of the aligned longitudinal holes, the locking protrusion is caught by the lower one of the aligned longitudinal holes and prevents the locking bar from being removed from the aligned longitudinal holes;    a locking lever rotatably coupled to an upper end of the locking bar such that, when the locking lever is rotated in a closing direction after the locking protrusion has been caught by the longitudinal holes with the locking lever in an opened state, the locking lever brings facing sides of the frames into close connection with each other;    a compression protrusion provided at a predetermined position of the locking lever to compress the facing frames and closely connect the frames to each other; and    a post cap interposed between the posts to extend a vertical height of the posts according to an increase in the height of the frames connected to each other in the vertical direction.    
   
   
       3 . The connection structure for partition walls according to  claim 1  or  2 , wherein each of the frames is provided with a fitting rail on a lower side thereof, so that, when the frame is placed on top of a lower frame, the fitting rail is inserted into and connected to an upper side of the lower frame.  
   
   
       4 . The connection structure for partition walls according to  claim 2 , wherein the post cap is provided with four locking projections on each of upper and lower surfaces thereof at four corners to be inserted into the posts to connect the posts to each other.
