1 51,568 PANEL RIGIDIZER
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to space dividing wall panel systems of the type employed in "open plan" offices and is more particularly directed to an improved panel rigidizer which may be used to span the intersection of pairs of space dividing wall panels and which is particu-larly useful when a series of space dividing wall panels are linearly aligned as for example in forming a corridor wall.
A successful space dividing wall panel system is disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 3,762,116 to William C.
Anderson, et al. for Spacer Divider System and Connector Assembly Therefore. In this system space dividing wall panels are connected together and supported by cylindrical posts which provide great versatility with respect to developing an office system wherein the wall panels may be disposed in a plurality of angular relationships with respect to each other. Since there is no fixed points of attachment of the wall panels to the cylindrical posts, linear alignment of a long run of space dividing wall panels can acquire a slight wave affect if the panels on each side of the intermediate support posts are not pre-cisely aligned. Additionally, jostling of a wall panel can cause a slight departure from the original precise align-ment and again create the appearance of a wave affect. Not only is linear alignment of adjacent wall panels desirable, ~X~ )3~

Not only is linear alignment of adjacent wall panels desirable, ~X~ )3~
2 51,568 but it is also important that right angle relationships between adjacent wall panels be as precise as possible in some cases and the flexibility of the ang~lar relationships provided by the above-describecl system sometimes introduces a problem when precise right angle relationships need to be maintained between adjacent wall panels.
The panel rigidizer disclosed in U.S. Patent 4,424,654 issued January 10, 1984 to W. C. Anderson, et al.
discloses a system for maintaining rigid alignment of adjacent space dividing wall panels interconnected by a cylindrical support post. One drawback to this invention is the installation time required in the field when it is determined that a rigidizer should be added to the wall panel system at specific post connections. More specifi-cally, holes must be drilled in the panel frame and aplurality of screws need to be inserted through apertures in the rigidizer to secure the rigidizer to adjacent panels. If panels can be successfully rigidized through the support posts without the use of expensive manual labor, set up time for an office can be significantly reduced.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The panel rigidizer system of this invention provides for precise linear alignment of an elongated series of linearly aligned space dividing wall panels as well as the rigidized right angle interconnection of adjacent space dividing wall panels without detracting from the appearance of the rigidized connections with respect to the connections in the wall panel system which need not be rigidized. Additionally, the extremely quick and simple disassembly and assembly of rigidized connections are possible when it is desired to reassemble the space divid-ing wall panels into a different office configuration. In accordance with the present invention an improved panel rigidizing system is provided for maintaining alignment between two or more space dividing wall panels in a system which includes two or more space dividing wall panels ~LX~5~

Referring now in detail to the drawings wherein like reference characters represent like parts throughout the several views there is illustrated in Figures 1 and 2 a rigidized space dividing wall panel system which includes a pair of space dividing wall panels 10 interconnected and supported by a cylindrical support post 12. The space dividinq wall panels 10 include a tubular frame member 14 which generally surrounds, for example, a plywood or the like panel septum 16 having on each side thereof fiberglass batting 18 covered by fabric 20 or alternatively, in some cases, a decorative plastic laminate. The panel frame in accordance with the present invention includes a pair of spaced parallel grooves 22 at laast in the top edge thereof and preferably, the grooves extend completely around the periphery of the panel and serve not only in connection with the panel rigidizer of this invention but may be employed to secure therein the fabric covering 20 by means of a plastic spline (not shown).
The wall panels 10 have secured to their lateral edges slotted standard members 24 which have associated therewith hook shape connectors, and as can be best seen in Figure 2, the hook shaped connectors 26 on the side edges of the wall panels interact with the upper end 28 of the ~ ~50~
51,568 tubular post 12, which is in the form of an annular ring, to interconnect and support the space dividing wall panels.
Obviously, similar hook shaped connectors are employed at the base of the panel adjacent the bottom end Gf the post S to connect the wall panels to the cylindrical posts in the manner disclosed in the aforementioned U.S. Patent 3,762,116.
Where desired, a post cover 30 of the type disclosed in United States Patent No. 4,601,146 issued July 1986 for Post Cover For A Space Dividing Wall Panel System, may also be employed to shield the cylindrical post 12 from view.
The panel rigidizer, generally designated 32 includes a central hub portion 34 and a pair of laterally extending leg portions 36. The hub portion 34 has a tapered aperture 38 therethrough which is constructed and arranged to overlie a threaded aperture 40 in the top of the cylindri-cal post 12. On the underside of each of the leg portions 36 are a pair of spaced parallel elongated ribs 42 which extend for a little more than half of the length of the leg portion 36. Each of the leg portions 36 also include along the side edges thereof detents 44 which serve to retain the panel top trim or edge cover 46. A threaded post cap or hub screw 48 includes a threaded shank portion 50 and a tapered head portion 52 which is complementary to the tapered aperture 38 in the rigidizer. The post cap or hub screw 48 further includes a tool receiving aperture 54 in the upper end thereof to facilitate securing the rigidizer 32 to the post and panel.
As will be apparent from the foregoing the panel rigidizer of this invention may be quickly and simply attached to a space dividing wall panel system to rigidize and strengthen the interconnection between two adjacent space dividing wall panels. In attaching the rigidizer to the wall panel system the hub portion 38 is placed over the cylindrical post 12 and the ribs 42 are received in the parallel grooves 22 in the panel frame member 14. The post cap or hub screw 48 is inserted through the aperture 38 in
