Definitions

  • a zigzag folding wall comprising a plurality of similar modules, each of said modules suspended to a top rail including first and second coupling members, a first pair of panels having adjacent edges pivotally connected to one another, the opposite edges of said first pair of panels being pivotally connected with said first and second coupling members respectively, each of said modules also including a second pair of panels having adjacent edges pivotally connected to one another, the opposite edges of said second pair of panels being pivotally connected with said first and second coupling members respectively, said panels being foldable in zigzag fashion, a first module having the first coupling member thereof adjacent the second coupling member of a second module.
  • Such a wall is disclosed in DE-A-1509657.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a folding wall which reduces transport and mounting costs by its modular structure.
  • Detachable securing means for securing said last-mentioned first and second coupling members to one another to thereby secure the first and second modules to one another, and said second coupling member of said first module having an opening therein aligned with said securing means for receiving a tool therethrough to engage said securing means when assembling or disassembling the modules suspending to said top rail, to a wall.
  • a simple construction and an effective soundproof assembly are obtained in that, inter alia, the panels and coupling means are interconnected at the longitudinal edges by uninterrupted hinge profiles of synthetic resin.
  • the invention further suggests to provide the coupling means with a pair of relatively spaced supporting members for guiding said spring blades.
  • the folding wall shown in the Figures is composed of modules each consisting of two opposite pairs of relatively pivotable panels 1, the hinge being formed by a synthetic-resin strip along the edges thereof (see, in particular, fig. 5). By other longitudinal edges the panels 1 are connected through a pivotal strip 3 with head strips 4 in a manner such that each module forms a hollow structure. Each module is suspended by a runner system fastened to the top side of each head strip 4 to a rail 5 along the top edge of a passage between two rooms.
  • the modules can be fastened to one another with the aid of the head strips 4, for which purpose they are provided with fastening means.
  • Fig. 5 shows that the head strips 4 have a square hole 6 for passing a tool 7 and a tapped hole 8 are alternately off-set in the head strips 4 so that when one module is mounted by means of the foremost head strip, the hindmost can be fastened to the foremost head strip of the adjacent module.
  • the head strips 4 have furthermore an opening 10, which openings are in register after mounting (see fig.2) Through these openings are passed two blade springs 11, one end 12 of which is fastened to the inner side of the adjacent panels 1.
  • the spring blades 11 are provided on their proximal sides with a coating of rough material 19 which may have a ridge profile in order to avoid slip between the two spring blades 11.
  • the spring blades are supported by supporting members 13 in the form of rollers, the distance between the supporting members 13 being such that the spring blades 11 contact with one another at point A.
  • a cam 14 which prevents the spring blades from snapping from between the supporting members when the panels 1 are in the folded position.
  • a lever 15 is secured to the head strip 4 by means of a hinge 16.
  • a pressing head 17 is fastened to the lever 15.
  • the folding wall according to the invention can be actuated as follows.
  • the invention is not limited to the embodiment described above.
  • the flattening stretching design by means of the resilient blades 11 may as well be used in another construction than that having the above-described module structure.
