In addition, the plate member 42 protects both the exposed side of the honeycomb filler 30 and the frame 20 to protect them. The plate member 42 is made of a thin plate type wood or metal to reduce the load of the panel portions 40a and 40b.

The side finishing unit 50 finishes both sides of each of the panel portions 40a and 40b to prevent the frame 20 from being exposed and to prevent breakage of the side edges or edges of the frame 20. [

On the other hand, a plurality of panel portions 40a and 40b may be arranged horizontally with respect to the floor.

For convenience, the two panel portions 40a and 40b are shown as being connected to each other. That is, the first panel portion 40a and the second panel portion 40b are connected to each other.

The end caps 62a and 62b are mounted on the upper edges of the first panel part 40a and the second panel part 40b.

Particularly, the end caps 62a and 62b are seated on both upper edges of the first panel portion 40a and are seated on both upper edges of the second panel portion 40b. At this time, the end caps 62a and 62b are fixedly mounted to the first panel portion 40a or the second panel portion 40b by the binding members 64, respectively. The binding member 64 is a mechanical fastening element such as a bolt.

When the first panel part 40a and the second panel part 40b are arranged successively, the first end cap 62a and the second panel part 40b located at one side edge of the upper part of the first panel part 40a The second end caps 62b positioned at the other end edge of the upper end of the first end cap 62b are interposed between the end portions.

The first end cap 62a and the second end cap 62b, which are in contact with each other, are tightly coupled by the coupling portion 200. [ The first panel portion 40a and the second panel portion 40b are bound to each other at the upper side by the binding portion 200. [

In particular, the coupling portion 200 includes a body 210, a fitting protrusion 220, a lever 230, a locker 240, a receiving groove 250, and a locking groove 260.

The body 210 is seated on the first end cap 62a or the second end cap 62b. The body 210 serves to rotatably support the lever 230. At this time, the body 210 is shown mounted to the first end cap 62a.

The fitting protrusion 220 protrudes from the side surface of the body 210. At this time, the fitting protrusions 220 protrude from both sides of the body 210. Of course, the fitting protrusion 220 can be deformed into various shapes.

In addition, the lever 230 is rotatably connected to the body 210. At this time, the lever 230 is rotated based on the pivot shaft 232 provided on the body 210.

The locker 240 is provided on the lever 240, and can be modified into various shapes.

Further, the receiving groove portion 250 is formed in the first end cap 62a. In particular, the receiving groove 250 is recessed in the forward direction from the rear side of the first end cap 62a. In this case, 'front side' means an end to be in contact with the second end cap 62b, and 'rear side' means the opposite side to the front side.

The receiving groove 250 serves to receive the fitting protrusion 220. That is, the fitting protrusion 220 is received in the receiving groove 250, so that the body 210 is constrained to the first end cap 62a.

In addition, the locking groove portion 260 is recessed in the second end cap 62b and functions to receive the locker 240 provided in the lever 240 forcibly.

Accordingly, the first end cap 62a and the second end cap 62b are tightly coupled to each other at their corresponding end portions.

That is, after the first end cap 62a and the second end cap 62b are interposed between the ends, the operator rotates the lever 230 while assembling the body 210 to the first end cap 62a, The first panel portion 40a and the second panel portion 40b can be easily coupled by forcibly housing the locker 240 in the locking groove portion 260. [

Of course, when the lever 230 is rotated in the opposite direction, the locker 240 is detached from the locking groove 260, so that the first panel part 40a and the second panel part 40b can be separated in a short time.

In particular, the first end cap 62a and the second end cap 62b may be formed in the same shape so as to be compatible with each other.

The first end cap 62a and the second end cap 62b are held together by the coupling portion 200 or held at the same height by the coupling portion 200. [

That is, the first end cap 62a and the second end cap 62b are constrained to be positioned at the same height by the positioning unit 300. [

The positioning unit 300 includes a first convex portion 310, a first concave portion 320, a second convex portion 330 and a second concave portion 340.

The first protrusion 310 protrudes from the end of the first end cap 62a, which is in contact with the second end cap 62b. At this time, the number and shape of the first convex portions 310 can be variously applied.

The first concave portion 320 is recessed at the end of the first end cap 62a. Of course, the number and shape of the first concave portions 320 can be variously applied.

The second convex portion 330 is protruded from the end of the second end cap 62b so as to be accommodated in the first concave portion 320 in a one-to-one manner. The second concave portion 340 is recessed at the end of the second end cap 62b to receive the first convex portion 310 in one-to-one correspondence.

In other words, the first end cap 62a and the second end cap 62b can be firmly fixed with their opposite male and female engaging structures.

Of course, the first end cap 62a may have the first convex portion 310 or the first concave portion 320 alone, and the second end cap 62b may have the first convex portion 310 or the first concave portion 320, The second concave portion 340 or the second convex portion 330 may be provided solely in correspondence with the first concave portion 320.

  Each of the panel portions 40a and 40b has a side finishing portion 50 on a side edge thereof and the side finishing portion 50 includes side panels 52a and 52b. That is, the first panel part 40a has a first side panel 52a on both sides, and the second panel part 40b has a second side panel 52b on both sides.

The first side panel 52a located on one side of the neighboring first panel part 40a and the second side panel 52b located on the other side of the second panel part 40b are connected to the connecting part 100, Lt; / RTI > At this time, the first side panel 52a is firmly fixed to the first panel part 40a, and the second side panel 52b is firmly fixed to the second panel part 40b.

Here, the connection part 100 includes a mounting hole part 110, a connection connector 120, and a connection hole part 130.

In addition, the connection hole portion 130 can connect and fix the first side panel 52a to the second side panel 52b by inserting a part of the connection connector 120. [

The connection connector 120 also includes a body 121, a first resilient rib 122, a support rib 123, and a second resilient rib 125.

The body 121 is formed in contact with the outer side surface of the first side panel 52a facing the second side panel 52b.

The first elastic rib 122 extends from one side of the lower portion of the body 121 and contacts the inner side surface of the first side panel 52a through the mounting hole portion 110 to connect the body 121 to the first side panel 52a. At this time, the first elastic rib 122 extends from the body 121 so as to be elastically spread, and is brought into close contact with the inner side surface of the first side panel 52a.

The support rib 123 protrudes from one side of the upper surface of the body 121 so as to be inserted into and contact with the inner upper surface of the mounting hole portion 110. That is, after the operator inserts the first elastic rib 122 into the mounting hole 110, the operator pushes the supporting rib 123 and forcibly inserts the first elastic rib 122 into the mounting hole 110. [ As a result, the first elastic rib 122 is in close contact with the inner side surface of the first side panel 52a.

In addition, the body 121 extends the flange 124. The flange 124 is formed so as to be able to be pulled to separate the connection connector 120 fixedly mounted on the first side panel 52a from the mounting hole portion 110 through the mounting hole portion 110. [

The second elastic rib 125 extends from the other side of the body 121 so as to be inserted into and supported by the connection hole 130. That is, as the connection connector 120 is assembled to the first side panel 52a and the second elastic rib 125 is inserted into the connection hole 130 from the upper side to the lower side, And is brought into close contact with the inner surface. Therefore, the first side panel 52a and the second side panel 52b are simply connected and fixed.
