Therefore, when viewed in conjunction with the above effects, indirect illumination using three surfaces such as the ceiling surface 16, the partition surface 48, and the floor surface 22 becomes possible. As a result, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to further enhance the effect of using the indirect lighting. Further, since the feet can be illuminated, it is possible to prevent the user from tripping over an obstacle when walking indoors.

In the present embodiment, since the lighting fixture 42 is built in the upper edge 12A of the partition main body 12, the lighting fixture 42 is moved with the movement of the partition 10.
Will also move, and the optimal indirect lighting effect will always be obtained. Second Embodiment Next, a second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. Note that the same components as those in the first embodiment described above are denoted by the same reference numerals and description thereof is omitted.

As shown in these figures, in this embodiment, the movable reflecting plate 60 is attached to the partition body 12.
The feature is that is provided.

More specifically, a rectangular flat reinforcing plate 62 is attached to the upper edge of the frame member 30 on the back side of the partition main body 12. Each has a socket 40 for holding a lighting fixture 42 attached thereto.

On the other hand, at the upper edge of the frame member 32 on the front side of the partition main body 12, a rectangular flat reflecting plate 60 is disposed so as to face the reinforcing plate 62. Reflector 60
A support plate 64 having the same size as the reflector 60 is fixed to the outer surface of the reflector 60, and brackets 66 are attached near both ends in the longitudinal direction of the reflector 60, respectively. An upper end of a rack bar 68 which is arranged outside the socket 40 and whose longitudinal direction is the height direction of the partition body 12 is rotatably connected to each bracket 66.
Note that a friction member such as a wave washer (not shown) is interposed between the upper end of the rack bar 68 and the bracket 66 so that a frictional force enough to hold the reflection plate 60 at a desired opening degree can be obtained. It has become.

The above-described pair of rack bars 68 are engaged with pinions 70 arranged on both sides of the light transmissive panel 34. The pinion 70 is configured to rotate via a reduction gear when a motor (not shown) is driven. Further, long rack guides 72 are arranged on both sides of the front side of the frame member 32 on the back side with the rack bar 68 interposed therebetween. Further, a narrow stopper 74 is stretched over the front side frame member 32 at a position adjacent to the lower end of the closed reflector plate 60.

In the above-described configuration, the reflection plate 60
Motor, reduction gear, and pinion 7 for moving the gear up and down
0 and the rack bar 68 are, in a broad sense, “driving means for moving the reflector along the height direction of the partition body”.
It is an element grasped as.

According to the above configuration, when the lift switch (not shown) is pressed, the motor is driven to rotate forward. For this reason, the driving force of the motor is transmitted to the pinion 70 via the reduction gear, and the pinion 70 is rotated counterclockwise in FIG. Accordingly, the rack bar 68 is raised in the direction of arrow A. When the rack bar 68 has risen to the predetermined position, the pressed state of the up switch is released (or the stop switch is pushed). Next, the reflecting plate 60 is manually rotated in the direction of arrow B to change the reflecting plate 60 from the closed state (the state shown by the two-dot chain line) to the open state (the state shown by the solid line).

The lighting fixture 4 with the reflecting plate 60 opened.
When the lighting device 2 is turned on, a part of the direct illumination light emitted from the lighting fixture 42 is reflected by the reflection plate 60. For this reason,
A brighter space is formed on the ceiling side than in a structure without the reflection plate 60. As a result, according to the present embodiment, the effect of producing light on the ceiling side becomes various.

When it becomes unnecessary to use the reflector 60, the reflector 60 is manually changed from the open state to the closed state. Next, a down switch (not shown) is pressed to drive the motor in the reverse direction. When the motor is driven in the reverse direction, the driving force is transmitted to the pinion 70 via the reduction gear. For this reason, the pinion 70 rotates clockwise in FIG. 6 to lower the rack bar 68. Then, the reflection plate 60
When the lower end of the lowering part is lowered to a position where it contacts the stopper 74, the pressed state of the lowering switch is released (or the stop switch is pressed).

Further, with the configuration as in the present embodiment, there is an advantage that the workability of replacing the lighting fixture 42 can be improved.

The stopper 74 may be provided with a detecting means such as a limit switch so as to automatically detect whether the reflecting plate 60 has been lowered to the original position and stop the operation of the motor. .

If the reflection plate 60 can be moved up and down and held at that position, it is not always necessary to use a rack and pinion type driving means. For example, as a mechanical type configuration, a leaf spring alone or a click mechanism using a leaf spring and a ball is disposed at a position corresponding to the pinion 70, and a leaf spring or a ball is clicked at a position corresponding to the rack bar 68. A configuration in which an engageable member is arranged can be adopted. When this type of configuration is included, it is understood as a moving means which is a concept wider than the driving means. Third Embodiment Next, a third embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. Note that the same components as those in the first embodiment described above are denoted by the same reference numerals and description thereof is omitted.

The embodiment shown in FIG. 7 is characterized in that a light transmissive panel 82 having a pattern 80 is used. In this way, by replacing the plain light-transmitting panel 34 used in the above-described embodiment and the light-transmitting panel 82 with the pattern 80 according to the customer's needs, indirect illumination different from the above-described embodiment is obtained. be able to.

Further, the embodiment shown in FIG. 8 is characterized in that a light transmissive panel 86 designed so that the indirect illumination light becomes gradation light is used. Specifically, in the process of manufacturing the light transmissive panel 86, the metal pieces 84 (or metal particles) such as aluminum and titanium are mixed, and the distribution of the metal pieces 84 (or metal particles) gradually changes. By doing so, the light transmissive panel 86 shown in FIG. 8 is obtained. As the distribution of the metal pieces 84 (or metal particles) increases, diffuse reflection increases and the image becomes brighter.

In addition to the above, it is also possible to adopt a configuration in which irregularities are formed on the panel surface of the light transmissive panel or a colored panel is used.

By using the light transmissive panels 82 and 86 which change the indirect illumination light as described above, the effect can be diversified.

In the above-described embodiment, the lighting fixture 42 is built in the upper edge portion 12A of the partition main body 12.

Furthermore, the lighting fixture 42 may be built in the side edge of the partition main body 12. For example, a partition body 12 installed near a wall
If the lighting fixture 42 is built in the side edge portion of, indirect lighting in relation to the wall surface becomes possible.

In the above-described embodiment, the present invention is applied to the suspension-type partition 10. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the present invention may be applied to a floor-standing partition. Also in this case, it is possible to secure a foot space (floor-side gap 26).

Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, the light transmissive panels 34, 82 and 86 are used. However, for example, at least one of the ceiling side indirect lighting and the floor side indirect lighting is required, and the partitioning surface 48 is used. When indirect lighting using is not required, instead of the light transmissive panels 34, 82, 86,
A panel that does not transmit light may be used.
