Detailed Description

Detailed description of the preferred embodimentsfigure 1 shows a screen body assembly comprising two similar panels 10 secured together along one edge thereof. Each panel 10 includes a perimeter frame made of lightweight sheet metal perimeter frame members 12 that fit and spot welded together at each of the four corners as shown. The expanded metal grid 16 extends through the rectangular space defined by the perimeter member 12 on each side of the frame and is secured to the side walls of the perimeter frame member 12 by spot welding. These grids are secured by spot welds around the frame and reinforce and stiffen the frame. The spaces between the grids 16 are preferably filled with an acoustic insulation material 15, such as fiberglass. The perimeter frame has vertical support members 18 that are connected to the top and bottom frame members 12 by spot welding.

Basic frame structures of this nature can be made of relatively light materials with high strength. For example, if the side and top perimeter frame members 12 of steel plate 24, the bottom perimeter members 12 of steel plate 18, and the vertical support members 18 of steel plate 18 are constructed, a strong frame can be made. The screen is supported in an operative position on legs 22, the legs 22 being bolted thereto by bolts 24, the bolts 24 extending through leg members 26 and being threaded into threaded plates 28, the threaded plates 28 being bolted to the bottom frame member 12 by bolts 29. The leg member 22 is an extruded section of aluminum or similar material and has a guide channel in its center for the bolt 24. The foot member 26 on the bottom of the leg is formed with a recess to receive the head of the bolt.

In fig. 1, an alternative type of foot member is shown. The foot member shown in FIG. 1 has a foot member 26, which foot member 26 is rotatable from the dashed line position indicated on the left hand side to the solid line position. When in the solid line position, it is capable of supporting the panel 10 in a free standing position. However, if more than one screen is connected together, the long foot member 26 is not required and a simple plate 30 similarly recessed to accommodate the head of the bolt 24 may be used. The screen has a veneer panel surface 32, which is preferably a fabric. It should be noted that the perimeter frame member 12 has an outwardly extending flange. The space contained by these outwardly extending flanges is filled with a plate 34 and the plate overlaps the face plate 32.

The free edge of the panel 32 is secured to the interior of the channel of the perimeter frame member 12 by means of a pressure sensitive adhesive tape 36 having adhesive on both sides. The metal perimeter frame with sound absorbing center 15, faceplate 34 and faceplate 32 is finished with a perimeter molding 38, which perimeter molding 38 is secured to the bottom of the channel of perimeter frame member 12 by screws 40.

The peripheral moulding 38 is made of an extruded plastics part of a suitable plastic such as polyvinyl chloride or acrylonitrile butadiene styrene. Adapted to receive and retain the decorative edge surface molding 42 the peripheral molding 38 has longitudinally extending seats 44 on each side of its channel configuration designed to receive the seating surface and bottom locking shoulders 48 of the decorative molding 42. The seat 44 is designed to mate with a locking flange 50 extending from the seat surface 46 of the decorative molding 42.

The decorative molding 42 is made of extruded plastic, such as polyvinyl chloride, and the downwardly extending sides consisting of the base surface 46 and the locking flange 50 are laterally flexible relative to each other, as are the channel-configured sides of the peripheral molding 38. In their normal position, the seat surface 46 and locking flange 50 are substantially juxtaposed with the locking shoulders 48 of the seat 44 and the peripheral molding 40, but they are laterally flexible and they will flex laterally when the decorative molding 42 is projected to the side. The molded-in channel allows the trim mold to enter and interlock with the perimeter mold. A similar lateral bending occurs when the decorative molding is removed from the channel. The lower edge of the locking flange 50 is turned inward to form a camming surface that engages the seating surface 44 when the two members are projected together. A perimeter moulding 38 is applied to the edge of the panel and the corners are mitred as shown in figure 4. The decorative molding 42 is also mitered at the corners. The perimeter molding 38 is also designed to connect to the attachment post 52. in the illustrated embodiment of the invention, the attachment post 52 is formed from two extruded aluminum portions that are extruded together. The connecting column 52 is adapted to secure two or more panels together in a radial arrangement relative to the connecting column.

As mentioned above, the connecting column is an extruded profile and has a constant cross-section similar to that shown in fig. 1. On its outer surface it has a plurality of T-shaped formations and adjacent T-shaped formations define longitudinally extending locking slots 54, the locking slots 54 slidably receiving locking lugs 56 on a connector 58. The connector 58 is formed of an extruded plastic material, such as polyvinyl chloride, and is a full length of constant cross-section. They are designed to sit on and interlock with the peripheral moulding 38 and in this regard they have a seating surface 60, the seating surface 60 being located on the seat of the peripheral moulding and the locking flanges 64 cooperating with the locking shoulders of the peripheral moulding.

The plastic connector is attached to the attachment post 52 by sliding the lugs 56 from one end of the post into the spaced apart locking slots 54. The length of the connector 58 and the connecting post 52 are preferably coextensive so that the seating surface 62 and the locking flange 64 are substantially coextensive with the peripheral molding when the connector is slid into locking arrangement with the post. To be fixed to the panel of posts.

The connecting post 52 is circular in cross-section and the seat 44 on the peripheral moulding is designed to receive the circular surface of the post. In fig. 4, each panel is at a right angle relative to the adjacent panel, but it is clear that this right-angle radial arrangement of panels is not the only possible arrangement. For example, three panels may be provided connected to the connecting column 52 in an angular arrangement of 120 ° with respect to each other. By repositioning the connector member 58 in spaced relation about the connecting post 52. The perimeter moulding 38, post 52 and connector 58 are designed to maximise the flexibility in the arrangement of the panels relative to each other.

Fig. 5 shows a method of hingedly connecting two panels 10. In this case, hinge plates 70 are bolted to the bottom of the perimeter frame by bolts 72 and interconnected by hinge pins 74. Similar to the arrangement shown in fig. 5. The decorative moulding shown in figure 5 is reproduced at the opposite end of the connecting edge of the two panels 10. The decorative moulding 42 is fixed to the perimeter moulding 38 in the same way to complete the panel, and in this regard the perimeter moulding is split at the hinge. Allowing the hinge to operate. Similarly, the decorative molding is cut to allow the function of the hinge.

The overall design of the panel has great advantages from a production and service point of view. As described above, the perimeter frame can be made of relatively light weight metal without the need for heavy support supports because of the use of expanded metal mesh 16, these members also serve to accommodate the sound absorbing fiberglass interior 15, the panels 34 are accommodated under the flanges of the perimeter frame members 12, and the trim panel fabric 32 is simply folded into the channels of the perimeter members and secured at its edges by tape 36 having pressure sensitive adhesive on both sides thereof. This is a very simple way of joining the face fabric 32. The peripheral moulding is secured to the frame by screws 40, while the panel fabric has a protective and decorative edge in the form of a skirt that extends over an edge portion of the face fabric 32.

From a maintenance point of view, this construction is very desirable, since when cleaning of the panel fabric is required, only the peripheral moulding needs to be removed to release the panel for cleaning. It can be simply reinstalled by using a pressure sensitive adhesive tape. The perimeter molding is designed to accommodate both the decorative molding 42 and the attachment post 52 of the post assembly, and the molding and post seat have a configuration that allows for varying arrangements of the panels relative to the posts.

The corner post connection type shown in fig. 1 and 2 easily brings the complete housings together. The angular disposition of adjacent panels need not be right-angled, but can be varied by changing the spacing of the connectors 58 on the connecting posts 52. The screen features a perimeter molding whose design allows easy assembly and removal of the panel fabric and also allows decorative finishing of the edges and ready fixing of the panel to the attachment post. The attachment posts 52 are circular and the seats of the perimeter moulding are arcuate, facilitating the arrangement of the screens at any angle relative to each other around the posts.
