Claims (4)

  1. In an expandable partition that allows for boltless assembly and is a temporary wall installed to partition an indoor space, The above boltless expandable partition (100) is, A pair of column frames (10) integrally formed with a plurality of assembly grooves (11) formed in a cross shape on the upper end and spaced at regular intervals along the longitudinal direction on the side, and a connecting groove (12) formed such that a square upper connecting groove (121) and a lower connecting groove (122) formed with a narrower width relative to the upper connecting groove (121) are interconnected; a plurality of horizontal frames (20) that connect the pair of column frames (10), have a cross-section formed in a "U" shape, and are integrally formed with a fastening groove (21) that fits into the connecting groove (12) on both ends and a triangular connecting projection (22) that is narrowly formed toward the ends; a cap (30) that is coupled to the upper end of the column frame (10) to seal the upper end and tightly fix the combined state of the column frame (10) and the horizontal frame (20); and a connection such that the column frame (10) and the horizontal frame (20) are connected. It includes a cover plate (40) formed in a square shape, with the upper and lower parts fitted and fixed to a horizontal frame (20), The above cap (30) is formed with the same size and shape as the cross-section of the column frame (10) and includes a finishing plate (31) that seals the upper part of the column frame (10), and A plurality of first pressure protrusions (32) formed on one side of the above-mentioned end plate (31) and having a shape that is inserted into the interior of the column frame (10), and which are in close contact with the bent surface of the connecting protrusion (22) of the horizontal frame (20), and A plurality of second pressure protrusions (33) that are fitted into the corner portions of the column frame (10) are integrally formed, and Here, an expandable partition capable of boltless assembly is characterized by the first pressure projection (32) formed on the cap (30) being in close contact with one side of the connecting projection (22), and at the same time, the second pressure projections (33) on both sides being in close contact with both sides of the connecting projection (22), thereby pressing the connecting projection (22) from three sides.
  2. delete
  3. In Article 1, An expandable partition capable of boltless assembly, characterized in that one or more connecting protrusions (22) of horizontal frames (20) are coupled to the assembly groove (11) and connecting groove (12) formed in the column frame (10) to form a partition in a shape selected from straight, L-shaped, T-shaped, and cross-shaped.
  4. In Article 1, An expandable partition capable of boltless assembly, characterized by further including a connecting bracket (13) formed with a "U" shaped cross-section on one side of the column frame (10) and having the side of the cover plate (30) accommodated inside.

Description

Expandable partition with bolt-less assembly The present invention relates to a partition, which is a temporary wall installed to partition an indoor space. More specifically, it relates to a new type of expandable partition capable of boltless assembly, in which the configuration forming the partition is simple, making manufacturing easy, and the connection between the column frame and the horizontal frame constituting the partition is made in a snap-fit assembly form rather than a bolt fastening method, making assembly simple and allowing anyone to easily assemble it. In particular, when connecting multiple partitions, they can be easily connected at various angles, and the connected installed state can be maintained firmly without shaking, thereby ensuring a robust installation state. Partitions are becoming increasingly common to utilize spaces such as offices more efficiently. Beyond their simple function as dividers, these partitions contribute to creating a more pleasant working environment by enhancing interior design and work efficiency. These partitions are installed in various shapes, such as straight, L-shaped, T-shaped, and cross-shaped, depending on the arrangement of office furniture, and feature a structural design that allows for interconnection and separation to enable quick adaptation when the furniture layout is changed. Meanwhile, in conventional partition fastening methods that utilize separate fastening means such as bolts, nuts, or clamps, significant differences in the robustness of the connection between partitions occur depending on the tightening force of these means and the installer's workability. Since this also affects product quality, there was a disadvantage in that the partition assembly process was difficult and the connection state depended on the installer. In addition, there is a method of connecting partitions by inserting plastic-molded fixing rods into the partition connection points, but this conventional fastening method has the problem that the installation and disassembly of partitions are very difficult because the fixing rods must be inserted between the partitions to connect them one by one. As described above, a partition assembly that is easy to install and dismantle, according to prior art Patent Registration No. 10-2466960 (Registration Date: November 09, 2022) for making the connection between partitions more robust and convenient, comprises: a partition frame (110) fixed to a partition (100); and a connecting means (200) fixed at an intermediate height between two adjacent partition frames (110) that are closely arranged to connect the two partition frames (110) to each other; The device comprises a fixing means (300) that is inserted into the upper portion of two partition frames (110) that are placed in close contact with each other and fixes them integrally, wherein the fixing means (300) comprises a fixing body (310) inserted into an opening (111) between the two partition frames (110), a head portion (320) consisting of a guide plate portion (321) that is arranged front and back on the upper portion of the fixing body (310), a lever portion (330) that is hinge-coupled at two locations on both sides of the head portion (320) via a connecting strip (340) extending from both lower sides of the fixing body (310), and a fastening member (350) that is integrally connected to the connecting strip (340), whose position moves according to the pivoting movement of the lever portion (330), and selectively restrains or releases the two partition frames (110). However, even if a partition assembly with the above configuration is connected by inserting a fixing means into the upper part of each partition, there is a problem in that a gap occurs in the partition connection part, so the partitions cannot be firmly joined to each other, twisting occurs, and the partitions easily fall off or shake. Furthermore, the process of connecting each partition by installing fixing means results in significant differences in the robustness of the connection between partitions depending on the installer's workmanship, and this continues to be a problem that affects product quality. In addition, partitions have a complex structure, which leads to frequent assembly defects during the manufacturing process. This results in issues such as reduced productivity and increased manufacturing costs due to defective products.
