-MODULAR WALL PANELS AND COMPONENTS
The present invention relates to modular wall panels and components such as door frames, window frames and service chases used in the assembly of 5 non-progressive modular wall systems. A non-progressive modular wall system is one in which individual modular wall panels or modular wall components may be added or removed from a modular wall without (li.~m~ntling adjoining modular wall panels or components.
The modular wall panels and modular wall components in the instant 10 invention are fastened together or unfastened using cams and pin locking devices.
The invention relates generally to extrusions which may be placed in the edges of modular wall panels or modular wall components which are adapted to receive and retain cams and pins at any position along the extrusion. Using the 15 extrusions of this invention it is possible to locate or relocate the cams or cam receivers at any desired position along the length or width of the extrusion located in the edges of the modular wall panels.
If desired a cam or pin may be removed from a cam or pin extrusion and relocated at another position in a cam or pin extrusion to relocate a window, a 20 service chase or make other desired changes in the modular wall.
In prior art modular components the cam fastening me(~h~ni.~m.~ were constructed as an integral part of each modular component and were not capable of removal and relocation should it be desired to redesign the modular wall to add a vent, window, door or service chase. Redesign of the non-progressive 25 modular wall system using the same panels or components was limited in the prior art by reason of the fixed and immovable nature of the cam and pin arrangements on the ends or side edges of the components of the modular wall system.
2126~73 The use of aluminum extrusions or extrusions made from other metals as the outside face members of l~min~ted modular wall panels and l~qmin~ted modular wall components of the modular wall system of the present invention creates a load bearing wall system having considerably more strength than modular wall panels and modular wall components which do not have metal face extrusions.
While the modular wall panels and components described herein were created to simplify construction and installation of clean rooms and level 3 facilities, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art of non-progressive wall systems that the extrusions and modular wall system components disclosed herein may be used in any types of non-progressive wall system.
The modular wall panel components of the present invention have been used to simplify construction and installation of clean room and level 3 facilities.
System components allow for easy cleanability and flush interior surfaces to reduce air~ow eddies. Panels may be temporarily removed at any time to f~l~ilit?~te large equipment installation or removal. Service chases have removable cover plates for easy additions at any time.
The modular wall system is comprised of laminated wall panels and numerous kinds of extrusions.
Modular wall panels are comprised of an aluminum honeycomb or rigid urethane foam core, pre-painted aluminum f~ing.~, and two integral vertical edge extrusions all l~min~ted together to form a rigid panel. Wall panels are 2 inches thick by a nominal 48 inches wide Height va~ies depending on application.
The aluminum extrusions incorporated into the system are as follows:
(1) vertical edge or horizontal edge extrusion (2) cam and pin extrusion (3) cam or pin locking devices (4) cam or pin securing means (5) service chase extrusion (6) clip extrusion (7) channel extrusion (8) cove extrusion (9) window frame extrusion (10) glass stop extrusion The combination of the vertical edge or horizontal edge extrusion, the cam or pin extrusion, cam or pin locking devices and means to snap the cam or pin locking devices at any point in the cam or pin extrusion enables modular components to be rearranged in manners not possible when the cam and pin is fixed in one unmoveable position in the edge of a module. The combination also enables the modular components to be easily removed.
The service chase extrusion in conjunction with clip and cover extrusions acts as an open panel component in between modular wall panels and is used for electrical and plumbing services, or as a void for structural support members.
The channel extrusion is used as an interface between wall panels and floor, to cap the top of wall panels, and as an interface when one wall intersects perpendicularly with another.
The window frame and glass stop extrusion are used to incorporate windows into the rooms.
Brief Room Assemblv Descril~tion Channel extrusion is fastened along the floor as per wall locations, mitering corners. The channel extrusion may be made of two L-shaped parts forming an overlapping bottom or top for removal of individual wall components.
Wall panels or components are slid into channel extrusions and secured together with cam and pin locking devices (2 per joint). Service chase extrusions are ~12~3 placed between wall panels as required. Channel extrusion is fastened along the top of the wall panels to act as a fini.qhing cap. Cove extrusion is then screwed to wall panels at ceiling height.
In one embodiment the invention relates to a modular wall panel having at least two edge extrusions and fastening means, the fastening means comprised of cam and pin extrusions, cam and pin locking devices and securing means, characterized in that the cam and pin locking devices are secured at any desired point in respective cam and pin extrusions prior to snapping the cam extrusion and pin extrusion into edge extrusions of opposing modular wall panels.
Another embodiment of the invention relates to a l~min~ted modular wall panel comprised of a panel core, at least two edge extrusions, two f~ing.~, and fastening means, the fastening means comprised of cam and pin extrusions, cam and pin locking devices and securing means, characterized in that the cam and pin locking devices are secured at any desired point in respective cam and pin extrusions prior to snapping of the cam extrusion and pin extrusion into edge extrusions of opposing l~min~ted modular wall panels.
Still another embodiment of the invention is to an edge extrusion for use as an integral edge in a modular wall panel, said edge extrusion having a number of continuous faces and one face with a vertically extending slot, the interior of said slot being defined by two slightly inwardly inclining vertical barbed legs.
A further embodiment of the invention relates to a cam or pin extrusion comprised of a base, side walls and top outwardly extending walls, the sidewallsof the cam or pin extrusion extending vertically upwardly from the base, said vertical sidewalls termin~ting in outwardly extending walls perpendicular to thevertical sidewalls at the top of said vertical sidewalls.
