PARTITION WALL STRUCTURE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To facilitate installation and removal with a simple part, by dispensing with filling of a sealant. SOLUTION: An upper support tool 5 having a pair of opposed sandwiching parts 3 and 4 is fixed to the ceiling C, and a lower support tool 15 having a similar pair of sandwiching parts 3 and 4 is fixed to a just under floor surface F. Upper and lower end parts 2 and 12 of a panel 1 are respectively inserted into its both support tools 5 and 15, and the panel 1 is fixed by respectively closely bringing respective contact parts of both upper and lower support tools 5 and 15, inserting members 10 and 10 and the panel 1 into pressure contact with each other, by respectively inserting the inserting members 10 between the respective one sandwiching parts 3 and 3 of the upper and lower support tools 5 and 15 and the panel 1. At this time, a locking part 3a arranged in the one sandwiching part 3 is brought into close contact with each other by meshing with a recessed part 10a of the inserting members 10, and since the inserting members 10 are prevented from slipping out by its meshing, the panel 1 can be easily brought into pressure contact with and installed in the support tools 5 and 15. Since the inserting members 10 are positioned in the vertical direction, pressure contact force always becomes constant. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
