Description

  The present invention relates to a frame structure, and more particularly to a frame structure that can be used by expanding a structure that forms a working space in a specific area in an office as needed.

  Recently, in an office, a frame structure has been proposed in which the upper ends of a plurality of columns that stand up from the floor are connected to each other by a horizontal member, and a specific area in the office can be used as a working space for individuals or groups. (For example, refer to Patent Document 1).

FIG. 5 shows a plan view of the frame structure. In the figure, the frame structure 60 is basically based on a skeleton structure including a plurality of columns 61 standing on the floor surface and a horizontal member 62 arranged to connect the upper ends of these columns 61 to each other. It is configured. In this frame structure 60, various options such as a partition panel can be mounted on the support column 61 and the horizontal member 62. However, in a strict sense, the basic structure has a space closed by the partition or the like. It does not constitute. Therefore, an outsider can freely come and go to the first to third working spaces S1, S2, S3 formed by the frame structure 60.
However, since the frame structure 60 is present, the state of being partitioned sensuously is recognized, so that an outsider does not enter the working spaces S1 to S3. As shown by the arrow A in FIG. 5, the movement is detoured, and there is no hindrance to those who are working in the spaces S1 to S3.
