Description
BAC~GRO~ND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a panel joint assembly for double wall panels.
In construction of modern buildings using panels or dry-wall, there has been a constant search for construct-iQn techniques and assemblies which will reduce labour costs and which will simplifie the task of erecting such structures. This search has led to the use of extruded joints, which fit between adjacent wall panels or sections of dry-wall, and which receive the edges thereof in grooves. These joints avoid the need to nail panelling or dry-wall to studs. Examples of such joint assemblies can be found in Foster Canadian Patent No. 634,498 issued January 16th, 1962, Reilly Canadian Patent No. 745,352 issued November 1st, 1966, and Edwards Canadian Patent No. 992,720 issued July 13th, 1976. Other join~ systems, of general background interest in respect of the present invention are described in Olsen Canadian Patent No. 631,160 issued November 21st, 1961, and Nelsson ~anadian Patent No. 972,127 issued ~ugust 5th, 1975. All of these joint systems, insofar as they may apply to double wall panel systems, require studs or elongated elements, of the height of the panel system, extending between the front and rear walls and taking the place of wooden studs

All of these joint systems, insofar as they may apply to double wall panel systems, require studs or elongated elements, of the height of the panel system, extending between the front and rear walls and taking the place of wooden studs
2~ traditionally used. Because of the si~e and rigidity required in respect of these elongated elements, the two walls of the double wall system of necessity must be constructed or dismantled in unison. Such systems do not permit one wall to be erected in its entirety, and then the other, or else sections of one wall or the other to be removed as necessary for wiring or repairs between the double wal]s.
An early proposal for a double wall panel system which does not require such elongated ele~nents is described and illustrated in Olsen, et al Canadian Patent No. 337,393 issued November 21st, 1933. That patent ~s ~
lL5i9~3 discloses a securing member for spacing and securing double wall constructions which member consists of a flat plate having T-like ends which mate with corresponding spaces in opposed wall joints, which wall joints have grooves which hold the panel sections of the walls. There must be almost perfect alignment of opposite joints however for these plates to be insertable in the corresponding spaces of the wall joints, because of the inflexible nature of the plates and joints. As well, for the same reason, the spaces and T-ends of the plate must be manufactured to a very close tolerance; if the T's are too small for the spaces, opposite wall sections will vibrate and rattle when in position; if the T's are too large, then they will tend to wedge when being inserted in position. As a result of such shortcomings, this system has never gained wide commercial acceptance.
Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a panel joint assembly for double wall or partition panels which will provide a more economical and easier-to-use system than those known previously. It is also an object oE the present invention to pro~ide a panel joint assembly for double wall or partitions panels which will permit erection of the wallsor partition individually or removal of selected panels from one or the other wall or partition sections as required, without the need to dismantle both sides of the double walls or partitions.
SU~ RY OF T~IE INVENTION
In accordance with the present invention there is provided a panel joint assembly for wall panels which has an elongated base member adapted to co-operate with each other to secure in position spaced wall sections. The base member comprises a pair of panel securing grooves facing in different directions and extending longitudinally along opposite side edges of the base member parallel to each other. For preferred base member constructions, (1) the grooves face in opposite directions and are spaced from each other on the base member, or (~) the grooves are positioned at a 90 degree angle with respect to each otherO The base member also comprises a flange extending longitudinally on a surface of the base member and between the grooves. The flange is provided with a series of spaced, lateral holes along its length. A plurality oE anchor means are provided adapted to be spaced from the flange and secured along an opposing surEace, each of the anchor means being provided with a lateral hole. The anchor means may be individual eyes, Eor example9 secured to a wall ~o be reEinished where a single wall is required, or flange portions of a further, similar base member where a double wall is required. The assembly also has a plurality of wire-like clips of general, wide U-shaped configuration. The ends of these clips are adapted to be inserted through and held in corresponding holes in facing flanges of co-operating pairs of base members for double walls or in corresponding holes of eyes and flange where the anchor means are eyes secured to a wall surface. When the wall panels of opposite double wall sections are secured by the grooves of the base members, the clips rigidify and hold in place the base members, panels and double or single wall sections. The size of the clips will be determined by the desired spacing between the double walls~ The clip is preferably made of straight, resilent wire with its end sections bent approximately normal to the middle section thereof to form feet. These feet of the preferred clip design are provided with a central, inward bend to assist in securing the clips to opposite base members and prevent their becoming disengaged when the clips are in position in the holes of the -Elanges. Where a single wall is to be formed Erom panels for exalnple to resurEae over an existing wall, one end of each cllp may fit into a hole in any appropriate wall anchor means, such as an eye secured to the existing wall, instead of into the holes of a base member as previously described.
This panel joint assembly may be used with standard or known panel securing elements at the fLoor and ceiling levels, or in conjunction with an improved door Erame assembly which will also be described hereinafter.
It will be understood that, because of the flexibility provided through the use of applicant's clips as described to join opposite, co-operating base members of opposite double wall sections, a more flexible and more readily erected or dismantled panel system is achieved. ~uring construction, one of the double walls may be erected, electrical, plumbing or other systems then installed beside it, after which the second wall is erected to enclose those systems. The use of resilient clips through the holes of the flanges of the base members allows sufficient lateral play in the locating of the base members of the second wall section that this result can be achieved. Conversely, when it is desired to dismantle a particular wall section of a completed double wall structure, it will be apparent that ; it is not necessary to dismantle both wall sections while working toward the panel which it is desired to remove. Instead the worker may leave one entire wall section in place while he works in from the end of the other towards the panel desired to be removed.
The economy and ease of use of the panel joint assembly according to the present inventionwill be clearly apparent.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
Other objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent upon reading the following detailed description and upon referring to the drawings in which:
Figure 1 is a part prespective and part broken away view of a wall system incorporating the panel joint assembly according to the present invention:
55~23 Figure 2 is a section view along line II-II oi Figure l;
Figure 3 is a section view along line III-III of Figure l;
additionally showing in section a door and door frame securing member according to the present invention.
In the drawings similar Eeatures have been given similar referenc~
numerals.
While the invention will be described in connection with an example embodiment thereof, it will be understood that it is not intended to limit the invention to that embodiment. On the contrary, it is intended to cover all alternatives, modifications and ecluivalents as may be included within the spirit and scope of the inventionas defined by the appended claims.
DET~ILED DESCRIPTION OF T~E INVENTION
Turning now to the Figures, in Figure l there is shown a double wall or partition section of a building made according to the present invention. Corresponding pairs of opposeci base members 2 are secured together by spaced clips 4 to hold panels 6 in grooves 8. Longitudinal flanges 10 are provided extending along facing surfaces of co-operating base members 2. ~ plurality of spaced holes 12 are provided in each of these flangcs for receiving the feet 13 of clips 4.
It is preferred that the clips be of straight, resilent wire, such as number 9 wire, with its end sections bent into feet 13 which extend through appropriate holes in flanges 10 of co-operating Dase members 2. By providing a mlmber of clips in each pair of facing flanges ln, base members 2 and panels 6 are stabilized against Lnward or outwarcl displacement. The grooves may face in opposite directions for securing together adjacent sections of a wall, as shown by grooves 8a in Figure 3, or alternatively positioned in a 90 degree angle to each other as shown by grooves 8b in Figure 3. It will be noted that longitudinal Elanges 10 bisect the angle between the directions in which the grooves8 of base member 2 face, and are 8 of base member 2 face, and are at a set a 90 degree angle in respective of grooves 8a, and at a 45 degree angle or a 135 degree angle as shown for grooves 8b in Figure 3.
Panels 6 are secured within grooves 8 by means of arrms 1~ which form the sides of these grooves. The free end of the inside arrn is levelled as shown for example in figures 2 and ~, to assist in insertion of the panels.
As can be seen in Figures 1 and 2, the upper edges of panels 6 are secured in spaced relation by means of ceiling supports 15, and the lower edges thereof are secured by floor supports 16. Clips 4 nay also be inserted as shown in figure 2, at spaced hori~ontal intervals along floor supports 16 to prevent spreading of the supports.
It will be seen from Figures 2 and 3, that by using standard ceiling and floor s~pports 15 and 16, and standard end member 18, and using base members 18 as wall braces and base me[nbers 20a and 20b as base member corner braces, a double wall construction can be readily achieved. This construction permits first one wall, and then the other wall, to be constructed if desired. It also permits any particular panel 6 of either wall to be removed simply by removing end section 18 and laterally moving panels 6 of the wall from which the panel is to be removed.
Where the system according to the present invention is to be used to provide a wall panel surface over an existing wall surface, similar base members 2 and clips 4 may be used in conjunction with anchor means, such as eyes with appropriate holes secured at appropriate locatLons on the existing wall surface. Instead of fittlng into holes in flanges of opposing base members, the clips in such a modified system will fit into holes in a r~ q co-operating anchor and the flange of a base member. As this modification can be readily visualized by one skilled in the art from the foregoing description in conjunction with the illustrated figures of the double wall system, it has not been specifically illustrated in the drawings.
In co-operation with the panel joint assembly for double walls according to the present invention, a door frame assembly, as can be seen in Figure 3, to which door 30 may be hinged by hinges 32 may also be provided.
This door frame assembly requires an extruded main anchor member 34 of cross-sectional shape as shown in Figure 5, to which panel 6 adjacent the doorway entrance are secured by means of locking pin 36, Sliding fastener 38, again being an extrusion of cross-sectional shape as illustrated in Figure 3, having its end 42 slidable within slot 44 of anchor member 34, is secured to spacer member 46 of anchor member 34 by means of screw 48.
Appropriate capping 50 is also provided as shown, By selecting an appropriate size of spacer member 46, it will be readily apparent that this construction of door frame assembly provides a secure frame system readily adaptable for securing a door to various types and spacings of double wall sections.
Thus it is apparent that there has been provided, in accordance with the invention, a panel joint assembly for clouble wall panels that fully satisfies the objects, aims and advantages set forth above. While the inventin has been described in conjunction with an example embodiment thereof, it is evident that many alternatives, modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art in light of the foregoing description. Aceording, it is intended to embrace all such alternatives, modifications and variations as fall within the spirit and broad scope of the appended claims.

The ends of these clips are adapted to be inserted through and held in corresponding holes in facing flanges of co-operating pairs of base members for double walls or in corresponding holes of eyes and flange where the anchor means are eyes secured to a wall surface. When the wall panels of opposite double wall sections are secured by the grooves of the base members, the clips rigidify and hold in place the base members, panels and double or single wall sections. The size of the clips will be determined by the desired spacing between the double walls~ The clip is preferably made of straight, resilent wire with its end sections bent approximately normal to the middle section thereof to form feet. These feet of the preferred clip design are provided with a central, inward bend to assist in securing the clips to opposite base members and prevent their becoming disengaged when the clips are in position in the holes of the -Elanges.

DET~ILED DESCRIPTION OF T~E INVENTION
Turning now to the Figures, in Figure l there is shown a double wall or partition section of a building made according to the present invention. Corresponding pairs of opposeci base members 2 are secured together by spaced clips 4 to hold panels 6 in grooves 8. Longitudinal flanges 10 are provided extending along facing surfaces of co-operating base members 2. ~ plurality of spaced holes 12 are provided in each of these flangcs for receiving the feet 13 of clips 4.
It is preferred that the clips be of straight, resilent wire, such as number 9 wire, with its end sections bent into feet 13 which extend through appropriate holes in flanges 10 of co-operating Dase members 2. By providing a mlmber of clips in each pair of facing flanges ln, base members 2 and panels 6 are stabilized against Lnward or outwarcl displacement. The grooves may face in opposite directions for securing together adjacent sections of a wall, as shown by grooves 8a in Figure 3, or alternatively positioned in a 90 degree angle to each other as shown by grooves 8b in Figure 3. It will be noted that longitudinal Elanges 10 bisect the angle between the directions in which the grooves8 of base member 2 face, and are 8 of base member 2 face, and are at a set a 90 degree angle in respective of grooves 8a, and at a 45 degree angle or a 135 degree angle as shown for grooves 8b in Figure 3.
Panels 6 are secured within grooves 8 by means of arrms 1~ which form the sides of these grooves. The free end of the inside arrn is levelled as shown for example in figures 2 and ~, to assist in insertion of the panels.
As can be seen in Figures 1 and 2, the upper edges of panels 6 are secured in spaced relation by means of ceiling supports 15, and the lower edges thereof are secured by floor supports 16. Clips 4 nay also be inserted as shown in figure 2, at spaced hori~ontal intervals along floor supports 16 to prevent spreading of the supports.
It will be seen from Figures 2 and 3, that by using standard ceiling and floor s~pports 15 and 16, and standard end member 18, and using base members 18 as wall braces and base me[nbers 20a and 20b as base member corner braces, a double wall construction can be readily achieved. This construction permits first one wall, and then the other wall, to be constructed if desired. It also permits any particular panel 6 of either wall to be removed simply by removing end section 18 and laterally moving panels 6 of the wall from which the panel is to be removed.
Where the system according to the present invention is to be used to provide a wall panel surface over an existing wall surface, similar base members 2 and clips 4 may be used in conjunction with anchor means, such as eyes with appropriate holes secured at appropriate locatLons on the existing wall surface. Instead of fittlng into holes in flanges of opposing base members, the clips in such a modified system will fit into holes in a r~ q co-operating anchor and the flange of a base member. As this modification can be readily visualized by one skilled in the art from the foregoing description in conjunction with the illustrated figures of the double wall system, it has not been specifically illustrated in the drawings.
In co-operation with the panel joint assembly for double walls according to the present invention, a door frame assembly, as can be seen in Figure 3, to which door 30 may be hinged by hinges 32 may also be provided.
This door frame assembly requires an extruded main anchor member 34 of cross-sectional shape as shown in Figure 5, to which panel 6 adjacent the doorway entrance are secured by means of locking pin 36, Sliding fastener 38, again being an extrusion of cross-sectional shape as illustrated in Figure 3, having its end 42 slidable within slot 44 of anchor member 34, is secured to spacer member 46 of anchor member 34 by means of screw 48.
Appropriate capping 50 is also provided as shown, By selecting an appropriate size of spacer member 46, it will be readily apparent that this construction of door frame assembly provides a secure frame system readily adaptable for securing a door to various types and spacings of double wall sections.
Thus it is apparent that there has been provided, in accordance with the invention, a panel joint assembly for clouble wall panels that fully satisfies the objects, aims and advantages set forth above. While the inventin has been described in conjunction with an example embodiment thereof, it is evident that many alternatives, modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art in light of the foregoing description. Aceording, it is intended to embrace all such alternatives, modifications and variations as fall within the spirit and broad scope of the appended claims.
