PREFABRICATED BOOTH
According to the present invention, provided is a prefabricated booth comprising: a frame in which a plurality of horizontal frames and a plurality of vertical frames coupled to the plurality of horizontal frames are three-dimensionally coupled to each other so as to form a square-shaped frame structure; a plurality of connection pieces, each of which both sides are respectively coupled to the inner sides of the frames vertically intersecting to be adjacent to each other; first profiles respectively arranged at the outer sides of the upper and lower horizontal frames of the square frame structure; second profiles erectly arranged to correspond to the vertical frame at the corner side of the square frame structure; and a bracket comprising a center part fastened to each connection piece, a first extension part extended to one side of the center part and fixing the first profile, and a second extension part extended to the other side of the center part and fixing the second profile.
The present invention relates to a prefabricated booth used for events such as performances or exhibitions, wherein a portion of a wide space is partitioned.
BACKGROUND ARTGenerally, a prefabricated booth is fabricated as an integrated single structure wherein frameworks configured using a plurality of frames are connected to each other to form a plurality of columns, as well as a structure to connect top and bottom between the formed columns.
The frames are typically reinforcing bars having a predetermined weight, which are used to form a framework in order to partition a space. At the same time, the space is often visually divided by providing and fixing plate-like panels made of wood on the frames.
In this case, each of the panels described herein is cut in an appropriate size in accordance with site conditions and fixed to the frame by nails or bolts. When the event (performance, exhibition, etc.) is finished, the panels are also dismantled along with the prefabricated booth.
However, for such a conventional prefabricated booth, an additional process of attaching a printed advertisement on the panel is further included and increases installation and manufacturing costs. Further, panel waste made of wood generated during dismantling of the framework may cause environmental contamination.
Among prior art documents, there is Korean Utility Model Registration Publication No. 20-0455251, entitled “Prefabricated booth using profiles” (Publication Date: Aug. 26, 2011).

In a longitudinal direction of one side of each horizontal frame 11, a slot hole 11a is formed to be screw-coupled to any one connection member 20. On the other hand, in a longitudinal direction of one side of each vertical frame 12, another slot hole 12a is formed to be screw-coupled to another connection member 20. Each of the slot holes 11a and 12a may have at least one thru-hole (not shown) wherein one frame 10 adjacent and coupled to another frame 10 can be screw-coupled through the thru-hole.
The cube 13 is formed in a regular hexahedral shape and may have a hollow portion (without a reference numeral), through which the frames communicate with the inside of the cube, thereby being screw-coupled to ends of the frames 11 and 12.
Further, the connection member 20 may be fastened to the inner sides of the frames 11 and 12 which are adjacent to each other while being orthogonal to each other, thereby more securely supporting the frame structure configured of the frames 10. As described above, the connection member 20 may be screw-coupled to the slot holes 11a and 12a of the frames 11 and 12, respectively. For this purpose, the connection member 20 may of course be provided with threaded couplers (not shown) at both sides thereof.
Meanwhile, the first profiles 30 may be arranged on outer sides of the horizontal frames 11 at upper and lower ends of the rectangular frame structure, respectively, and be supported on the horizontal frames 11 through the brackets 60. Each of the first profiles 30 may have a single first insert groove 30a in a longitudinal direction, wherein a horizontal end of a fabric panel (P, see
