Pig. 1 and 2 side and sectional views, respectively, of a "preferred Form of training a Bodenanschlussstüclc it according to the Invention and

Figures 3 and 4 are front and side views of a lever device for use in conjunction with such a floor connector.

The floor connector shown in Fig. 1 and 2 has " a lower U-profile part 10, in which at optimal Embodiment, shown in dashed lines, lower parts 11 expand outwards to channels for receiving supply lines to build. The ends of the lower U-profile part are closed with end pieces 12 that encompass them are welded or otherwise attached to the upper parts of the side walls. Between the side walls dej; lower U-profile part is slidable an upper, upside down U-profile part 13 out, which is supported on compression springs along the lower U-profile part at a distance are arranged from each other and held firmly on this in a suitable manner. Instead of the one shown in the drawing Other compliant supports can be used with coil springs.

The side walls of the two U-profile parts have groups of matching holes through which locking pins 15 stick when the springs are compressed permit. Holes 16 formed in the side walls of the upper U-section part take the upper pegs one further down lever device to be described in more detail, while the lower pins of this lever device penetrate into holes 17, which are formed in the side walls of the lower U-profile part. The walls of the upper U-profile part show the holes 17 associated slots 18, while the holes 16 corresponding recesses on the upper edges of the lower U-profile part 19 are formed so that the parts are mutually displaceable over a full range.

To install or dismantle a partition, the floor connector can be inserted into holes 16 and 17 Reduce the lever device. Pig. 3 and 4 show a simple lever device which has a rod 21 with a cranked Handle 22 has an upper peg 23 which is long enough to accommodate congruent holes 16 in to penetrate both walls of the upper U-profile part, as well as a slot 24 in which a shorter lower pin 25 is slidably received, so that when Eelativbewegung between the upper part and the lower part of the ground connection piece Changes in distance between corresponding holes 16 and can be recorded. In a preferred form of training the lever device two similar rods are provided, which are arranged at a distance from each other, the Distance between holes 16 and 17 of the ground connection piece for which the lever device is to be used. The levers are connected to each other with a rigid linkage, hinged to the levers above the top pin is. With a single hand lever, both ends of the upper U-profile part can be lowered at the same time to press.

The floor connectors can be reduced in size or Compressed state using the locking pins 15 and lock together and in this state for sale and dispatch. They can then be used immediately.

When erecting a partition wall of the usual type In the arrangement according to the invention, building panels are selected with a height of the room or room to be divided Height, plus floor connectors, upper edge fittings, Parting joint cover strips and skirting boards. One begins one end of the partition to be erected and places a U-profile vertically on an existing wall or vertical support to pick up the side edge of the first build plate and

to cover the parting line between the building board and the structural part. This U-profile can be spring-loaded to achieve frictional engagement or it can be fastened to the wall of the structural part in a simple V / eise.

If necessary, a spring-loaded connection piece similar to the floor connector can be used Frame part can be used without fastening. It goes without saying that such U-profiles with rock wool, fiberglass or the like Materials can be filled in to reduce sound transmission. At the lower edge of the first building board a compressed floor connection piece and an upper edge fitting attached to the upper edge and the building board set up in such a way that that its front edge is included in the vertical U-profile. After setting up the building board, the floor connector is attached a lever device attached and pushed down slightly so that the plague pins are released and then can be pulled out. Then you let go of the lever device gradually to the partition part to the plant Bring floor and ceiling. Final position corrections are made during this phase. Then the lever device even completely removed. If necessary, a vertical edge is then placed on the free side edge of the first building board Parting joint cover strip placed and then in a similar manner using the same lever device a similar second building board with attached floor connector and upper edge fitting set up. Then Skirting strips can be attached to the floor connectors and, if necessary, decorative strips can be attached to the ceiling.

The finished partition can easily be dismantled for use elsewhere. After squeezing or The building boards can be removed by reducing the size of the floor connectors with the aid of the lever device. If necessary, the locking pins can be reinserted until the building boards and floor connectors are at the new place of use.

It goes without saying that the length of the floor connection pieces need not necessarily correspond to the width of an individual building panel. Multiple butt-to-abut building panels can be supported on a single long floor fitting. It is more likely that multiple floor fittings will be used to support a single building panel. Short floor connection pieces can be arranged with intermediate distances, a closed appearance is achieved with continuous skirting boards. It will also be understood that the entire component can be used in the reverse arrangement, although this is usually less convenient. The parts referred to as "floor connectors ¹¹ " in the above description are then attached to the upper edges of the building boards, with the springs pressing the building boards against the floor below understood lying within the scope of the invention.

The invention provides an inexpensive and simple system for erecting and securing demountable partitions. By using permanent or permanently installed spring devices, simple locks and a removable one Lever devices keep the cost of floor fittings low and that of locking devices and built-in roping or lifting devices resulting complications and costs avoided.
