Definitions
- This invention relates to the connecting of screen panels such as are used in office and other locations to sub-divide a room or area into individual work areas or the like.
- screen panels are connected edge to edge in upright disposition by means of separate couplings located at the top and bottom of the adjacent screening panels, the couplings including screw or bolt fastening devices.
- the invention seeks to provide for the coupling edge to edge of screen panels in such a fashion that the panels can be more readily secured together and released from each other.
- screen panels are connected together edge to edge in upright disposition by means including at least one upright, elongate tie bar which is displaceable between a locking position in which the bar locks the screen panels at at least two spaced coupling locations one of which is located at or near the bottom edges of the panels, and an unlocking position in which the screen panels are unlocked or said locations, by manipulation of the bar by engaging same at a height above the coupling location at or near the bottom edge of the panels.
- at least one upright, elongate tie bar which is displaceable between a locking position in which the bar locks the screen panels at at least two spaced coupling locations one of which is located at or near the bottom edges of the panels, and an unlocking position in which the screen panels are unlocked or said locations, by manipulation of the bar by engaging same at a height above the coupling location at or near the bottom edge of the panels.
- each of the upright edges of adjacent and connected panel edges has a said tie bar, and locking links are locked to respective tie bars at said coupling locations of respective screen panels.
- the links are of T-shape or cruxiform shape, and the ends of the arms of the links are locked to the respective tie bars of respective screen panels, connecting three of four of aid screen panels together at location from where the panels radiate.
- each tie bar is movable between the locking and unlocking positions by being raised and lowered by a feed screw at the top of the tie bar and the or each tie bar has means preventing the bar from rotating about its axis during turning of the screw so that the tie bar can move up and clamp the ends of said links at said locking coupling.
- the tie bars have reduced cross section regions at the locking locations and the ends of the links have slots which receive said reduced cross section regions and when the tie bars are raised by the feed screws the links are clamped to fixed guide members in which the tie bars are located.
- the tie bars are preferably interconnected and axially relatively adjustable parts so that the relative positions of the reduced setion regions one to another along the length of the tie bar can be adjusted.
- the invention also provides tie bars and links useable for connecting the screen panels as aforesaid.
- a plurality of screen panels 2, 4, 6 and 8 - panel 2 being shown in full lines in Figures 1 and 2 and the latter three being shown in phantom line - are shown connected together to form a screening assembly.
- the screen panels are interconnected by a means including links 10 - shown in phantom line - each of which consists of four limbs 10A, 10B, 10C and 10D, and is held in position relative to the screen panels so as to secure said screen panels together by tie bars of respective panels, one of which tie bars is indicated by reference numeral 20.
- Each panel at each upright edge has a tie bar housed therein, and therefore only a simple tie bar will be described in detail, with reference to Figures 3 and 4.
- tie bar 20 is movable vertically in longitudinally spaced housings or saddles - one is indicated by reference numeral 40 - which are secured to the edge 2A of the panel 2 by screws, two of which are indicated by reference numerals 40A and 40 B .
- linkage means - shown in phantom line and indicated by reference numeral 70 - is shown in Figure 1, and its purpose will be indicated hereinafter.
- housing or saddle 40 is shown spaced longitudinally of a second housing or saddle 50 which is also secured to the end 2A of the screening panel 2 by means of screws 50A and 50B.

- the tie bar is shown in the raised position to enable relative adjustment of the block 110 relative to the rod 100, which is the effect of altering the distance between the recessed portions 116 and 122. By this means, the spacing between the recessed portions, which receive the respective links, can be finally adjusted.
- the tie bar After completing the adjustment the tie bar is lowered until the block 110 reaches the dotted line position as shown, under the housing 112 and the lock 114, which is also a square cross section locates in the housing 112 and the tie bar is therefore prevented from rotating.

Abstract
Description
- This invention relates to the connecting of screen panels such as are used in office and other locations to sub-divide a room or area into individual work areas or the like.
- Conventionally, screen panels are connected edge to edge in upright disposition by means of separate couplings located at the top and bottom of the adjacent screening panels, the couplings including screw or bolt fastening devices.
- Whilst it is a simple enough operation to tighten up and loosen off the screws or bolts of the couplings located at a convenient height, it is often difficult to tighten and loosen the bolts or screws of the couplings located near the floor. The proximity of the couplings to the floor makes it very awkward to engage and turn the screw or bolt, and often necessitates the person making or loosening the coupling lying or at least kneeling on the floor.
- The invention seeks to provide for the coupling edge to edge of screen panels in such a fashion that the panels can be more readily secured together and released from each other.
- According to the present invention screen panels are connected together edge to edge in upright disposition by means including at least one upright, elongate tie bar which is displaceable between a locking position in which the bar locks the screen panels at at least two spaced coupling locations one of which is located at or near the bottom edges of the panels, and an unlocking position in which the screen panels are unlocked or said locations, by manipulation of the bar by engaging same at a height above the coupling location at or near the bottom edge of the panels.
- Preferably, each of the upright edges of adjacent and connected panel edges has a said tie bar, and locking links are locked to respective tie bars at said coupling locations of respective screen panels.
- Preferably also, the links are of T-shape or cruxiform shape, and the ends of the arms of the links are locked to the respective tie bars of respective screen panels, connecting three of four of aid screen panels together at location from where the panels radiate.
- Preferably, each tie bar is movable between the locking and unlocking positions by being raised and lowered by a feed screw at the top of the tie bar and the or each tie bar has means preventing the bar from rotating about its axis during turning of the screw so that the tie bar can move up and clamp the ends of said links at said locking coupling.
- Preferably also, the tie bars have reduced cross section regions at the locking locations and the ends of the links have slots which receive said reduced cross section regions and when the tie bars are raised by the feed screws the links are clamped to fixed guide members in which the tie bars are located.
- The tie bars are preferably interconnected and axially relatively adjustable parts so that the relative positions of the reduced setion regions one to another along the length of the tie bar can be adjusted.
- The invention also provides tie bars and links useable for connecting the screen panels as aforesaid.
- An embodiment of the invention will now be described, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein:-
- Figure 1 is a side view of a panel connectible to another panel of the same type, according to the invention;
- Figure 2 is a plan view of a plurality of screening panels connected together by means according to the invention to form a screening assembly;
- Figure 3 is an exploded perspective view of the edge the screen panel of Figure 1;
- Figure 4 is a side view of a tie bar similar to that of Figure 3, but with modifications;
- Figure 5 is a view similar to Figure 4, but shows an alternative form of the bar.
- Figure 6 shows a variation to the top of the tie bars of Figures 3, 4 and 5;
- Figure 7 is a plan view of a link for use in conjunction with the tie bars of Figures 3 to 6;
- Figure 8 is an end elevation of the links in Figure 7; and
- Figures 9 and 10 are views similar to Figures 7 and 8 and showing an alternative form of link.
- Referring to the drawings, and firstly to Figure 2, a plurality of screen panels 2, 4, 6 and 8 - panel 2 being shown in full lines in Figures 1 and 2 and the latter three being shown in phantom line - are shown connected together to form a screening assembly. As will be seen in Figure 2, the screen panels are interconnected by a means including links 10 - shown in phantom line - each of which consists of four
limbs reference numeral 20. - Each panel at each upright edge has a tie bar housed therein, and therefore only a simple tie bar will be described in detail, with reference to Figures 3 and 4.
- In Figure 3
tie bar 20 is movable vertically in longitudinally spaced housings or saddles - one is indicated by reference numeral 40 - which are secured to the edge 2A of the panel 2 by screws, two of which are indicated byreference numerals - An end or edging
cap 2B of the screen panel 2 - and similarly end or edgingcaps 4B, 6B and 8B of the screen panels 4, 6 and 8 - conceal the tie bars, the end or edgingcaps having slots 2C and 2D (Figure 2) therein through which the limbs of the links pass as will be more fully explained. - An alternative form of linkage means - shown in phantom line and indicated by reference numeral 70 - is shown in Figure 1, and its purpose will be indicated hereinafter.
- Referring now to Figures 3 and 4, the housing or
saddle 40 is shown spaced longitudinally of a second housing orsaddle 50 which is also secured to the end 2A of the screening panel 2 by means ofscrews saddle 40 includes a channel portion 42, whose front face (in the drawing) is open as indicated by reference numeral 44. Similarly, housing orsaddle 50 has a channel portion and the front face thereof has anopen portion 54. - Engageable in the housings or
saddles saddles tie bar 20, the tie bar being so movable by means of an Allen head or other screw orbolt 56 engaging in a threadedbore 58 in the tie bar through the intermediary of a washer 60. It will be appreciated that as the screw orbolt 56 is threaded into the threadedbore 58, the presence of the washer 60 (in engagement with the top of saddle 40) will prevent the excessive downward movement of the screw orbolt 56 with the result that thetie bar 20 will be drawn upwardly relative to the housings or saddles as indicated by arrow 62 in Figures 3 and 4. - An alternative form of the tie bar is shown in Figure 5, where the tie bar has a threaded
stud 64 engageable by a threaded nut 66. - The
tie bar 20 has two longitudinally spaced recessed or waisted portions 22 and 24 which include portions 26 and 28 respectively of reduced cross-sectional dimensions compared with the remainder of the tie bar. Each portion 26 and 28 (in the Figure 4 embodiment) communicates with the portions of the tie bar immediately below by means ofchamfers 30and 32 whose included angle is preferably 90 and whose purpose will become apparent later. - Referring to Figure 6, in the arrangement shown the
tie bar 100 is threaded at the top andbottom ends lower end 104 by means of alock nut 108, or in the alternative by welding, whilst theblock 110 threaded to the top end is turnable on thetop end 102 provided it is displaced out of thehousing 112 as shown in Figure 6. Theblock 110 is of square cross section so that when it fits in thehousing 112, it cannot rotate relative to the rod portion of the bar. - Above
block 110 is thescrew block 114 and therecessed portion 116 is provided for receiving the links 'as described herein. The tapered shoulder 118 is also present. - At the bottom end, under block 106 is a
further block 120 further recessed to theportion 122 and atapered shoulder 124, similar to the tie bar illustrated in Figure 4.Block 120 slides in ahousing 126, and apin 128 fast with theblock 120 locates in aslot 130 in a housing to prevent the tie bar from being completely extracted in the twohousings block 110 relative to therod 100, which is the effect of altering the distance between therecessed portions block 110 reaches the dotted line position as shown, under thehousing 112 and thelock 114, which is also a square cross section locates in thehousing 112 and the tie bar is therefore prevented from rotating. Screwing of the tie bar by means of thescrew 132 is in the manner herein described. - Referring now to Figures 7 and 8, these Figures show in more detail the
links 10. The fourlimbs reference numerals chamfers tie bar 20. - The
link 70 of Figures 9 and 10 comprises an elongate member whose opposing ends are provided withopen slots 72 and 74 whose inboard ends are chamfered at 76 and 78 respectively, the included angle of these chamfers again corresponding to that of thechamfers tie bar 20. - In use, and referring back to Figures 1 and 3, the screen panels 2, 4, 6 and 8 are arranged in the desired relationship - as shown for example in Figure 1 - with each screen panel carrying two housings or
saddles tie bars 20. The screen panels will carry their end or edgingcaps limbs slots 12A, 12B, 12C and 12D being positioned such that they engage the recessed or waisted portions 22 and 24 of thetie bar 20. It will of course be appreciated that in the arrangement shown in Figure 1, there will be four tie bars, and that there will be two vertically spaced links. - With the components parts in the above-described positions (shown in Figure 1), screws or
bolts 56 are applied to the upper ends of thetie bar 20, the washers 60 being interposed therebetween. Engagement of the screws orbolts 56 with thethreaded bores 58 of the tie bars will, due to the engagement of the washers 60 against the upper ends of the housings orsaddles 40, draw thetie bars 20 upwardly relative to the housings orsaddles portions portions saddles saddles - Corner covers - one is indicated by reference numeral 2E is indicated in Figure 2 - may then be applied to the panels so as to conceal the screws or bolts, the housings or saddles and associated components.
- If only three screening panels are to be secured together, then the
links 10 may be formed with only three limbs, and if only two screening panels are to be connected togetherlinks 70 may be used in place of thelinks 10. Where only two screening panels are to be connected, they may of course be disposed at any desired relative angle before tightening up the screws orbolts 56. - It will be appreciated that more than four screen panels may be secured together by means in accordance with the invention, in which cases the links will be formed with limbs, corresponding in number to the number of screen panels to be connected.
- With means according to the invention, it is relatively simple and quick to secure a number of screen panels together to form a screening assembly - and to release said screen panels - since access is required only at the upper ends of the screening panels yet at the same time the connections are located at two locations in the heights of the screen panels so as to give rigidity to the finished screening assembly.
- Many modifications of the invention may be made, and it is not necessary that the manipulation of the tie bars to effect the clamping and unclamping be by means of screw threading. Thus, a crank lever could be used for manipulating to tie bars between the locked and unlocked positions, and additionally, in moving between said locked and unlocked positions, the tie bars may be rotated as opposed to being moved axially, a novel feature of the invention residing in that the tie bar clamps at several unspaced locations one of which is towards the bottom of the coupled edges of the screen panels.
