Abstract
Abstract An interior panel according to the present invention comprises a plurality of support units (20) fixedly arranged on a floor slab (14), a panel member (16) supported by the support units (20) so as to be located over the slab surface (14) at a predetermined distance therefrom, and a cable separator (15) supported by the support units (20) and dividing the space between the panel member (16) and the slab surface (14) into upper and lower space sections. The cable separator (18) is in the form of a plate with a stepped surface portion (32) at the peripheral edge portion thereof, and can be supported on the support units (20) either in a first position in which the stepped portion (32) faces upward or in a second position in which the stepped portion (32) faces downward. Cables (70, 74) and electric devices (76, 78) in a signal transmission system are arranged in the upper space section defined by the cable separator (18), and power supply-system cables (70) and devices (72) in the lower space section.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
292 words
An interior panel which overlies the surface (14) of a slab defining the inside space of a room to form the interior surface of the room so that a space to permit installation of signal transmission cables (74), power cables (70), and electric devices (72, 76, 78) is secured over the slab surface, characterized in that said interior panel comprises: a plurality of support means (20) fixedly arranged on the slab surface (14), each the support means (20) including a first supporting portion (58, 86, 88) and a second supporting portion (58, 82) positioned at predetermined distances from the slab surface (14); a panel member (16) supported on the respective first supporting portions of the support means (20) at a predetermined distance from the slab surface (14) so that the distance between the inside face of the panel member (16) and the second supporting portion of the support means (20) is substantially equal to that between the second supporting portion of the support means (20) and the slab surface (14); and a cable separator (18) interposed between the panel member (16) and the slab surface (14), the cable separator (18) having the form of a plate with a stepped surface portion (32) at the peripheral edge portion thereof supported on the second supporting portion of the support means (20), whereby the space between the panel member (16) and the slab surface (14) is divided into a first space defined between the panel member (16) and the cable separator (18) for the installation of the signal transmission cables (74) and electric devices (76, 78) connected thereto and a second space defined between the cable separator (18) and the slab(14) for the installation of the power cables (70) and electric devices (72) connected thereto.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
292 words
An interior panel which overlies the surface (14) of a slab defining the inside space of a room to form the interior surface of the room so that a space to permit installation of signal transmission cables (74), power cables (70), and electric devices (72, 76, 78) is secured over the slab surface, characterized in that said interior panel comprises: a plurality of support means (20) fixedly arranged on the slab surface (14), each the support means (20) including a first supporting portion (58, 86, 88) and a second supporting portion (58, 82) positioned at predetermined distances from the slab surface (14); a panel member (16) supported on the respective first supporting portions of the support means (20) at a predetermined distance from the slab surface (14) so that the distance between the inside face of the panel member (16) and the second supporting portion of the support means (20) is substantially equal to that between the second supporting portion of the support means (20) and the slab surface (14); and a cable separator (18) interposed between the panel member (16) and the slab surface (14), the cable separator (18) having the form of a plate with a stepped surface portion (32) at the peripheral edge portion thereof supported on the second supporting portion of the support means (20), whereby the space between the panel member (16) and the slab surface (14) is divided into a first space defined between the panel member (16) and the cable separator (18) for the installation of the signal transmission cables (74) and electric devices (76, 78) connected thereto and a second space defined between the cable separator (18) and the slab(14) for the installation of the power cables (70) and electric devices (72) connected thereto.
