Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a floor to ceiling mullion structure with hangeable set of panels to realize demountable partition interspaced walls.
  • FIG. 1 A fixable floor to ceiling mullion structure with hanging panels (1) for realizing a demountable covering or partition wall
  • said mullion structure comprises a pair of profiles of U-shaped cross-section (11) and hanging means (pins 12), provided on two opposite sides of said mullion structure and extending across the open sides of the respective U-shaped profiles, and wherein said panels comprise a plurality of hooking means, oriented perpendicularly to the plane of the panels, to allow said panels to be hung in pairs in opposed relationship on the respective hanging means.
  • the invention as claimed is intended to provide a remedy to the above-mentioned disadvantages. It solves the problem by providing a fixable floor to ceiling mullion structure with hanging panels for realizing a demountable partition wall, wherein said mullion structure comprises a pair of profiles of U-shaped cross-section and hanging means, provided on two opposite sides of said mullion structure and extending across the open sides of the respective U-shaped profiles, and wherein said panels comprise a plurality of hooking means, oriented perpendicularly to the plane of the panels, to allow said panels to be hung in pairs in opposed relationship on the respective hanging means, in which:
  • the profiles of U-shaped cross-section in the mullion structures are connected by an intermediate section and said hanging means in said mullion structures are also realized in this intermediate section.
  • said hooking means in said panels are realized by bending the metal sheet of the panel after the respective opposed edges are cold blanked to realize a series of hooks in the vertical edges, insulating material being encased in the respective bent sheet.
  • said panels enclose heating means.
  • said mullion structure is formed by two “U” profiles, placed in such a way as to form an "H” and endowed with a set of pins, on which the respective opposed panels are hung.
  • said mullion structure is formed by shaping a metal plate into two opposed rectangular tubular shapes, wherein hanging means are realized by cold blanks in the respective surfaces.
  • the wall construction utilizes "U"-shaped profiles (1) and (2), the former attached to the ceiling and the latter to the floor, the double "U” mullions (3) being fixed from floor to ceiling against them.
  • pin set (4) has been transversally inserted, on which the panels are hung.
  • Press blank hooks (6) are obtained along the vertical opposed edges of the panels (5), in'order to hang the panels to the mullion structure.
  • Profiles (1) are attached to the ceiling through extension screw means (7-8) and spring means (9) ( Figures 1, 4) thus becoming integral with the mullion structure (3) in the set-up.
  • the profiles (2) are placed on the floor and support the mullion structure through the screw (10), integral with the mullions (3) and with the adjustable bold (11).
  • Said screws (7 and 10) may be applied at mullion sides, as shown by Figure 11, or in the middle of the two profiles as shown by Figures 12 and 13, so as to vary the space between the panels according to need.
  • mullions (3) may be applied to the upper profiles (1 ) ( Figure 5), through the two lugs (12) of the same profiles.
  • the panels (5) having a plated surface, may be covered inside with plastered panels (13) or other fire-resistant material.
  • the space formed by the two panels may be filled with sound and thermal insulating material (14) ( Figure 3).
  • the panel edges (5) may be arched as shown by Figure 7.
  • Panels are made of timber or coated chipwood core, of absestos or similar material and at their metal or plastic lateral edges (15) they may be hung on pins (4), by means of respective hooking means (6), identical to panel hooking means described above (5).
  • the panels have hooks (16) integrally applied, to be fixed between the two mullion profiles (3).
  • These hooks (16) are identical to hooks (6) of panels (5) and are always applied to pins (4) by the same hook means.
  • the panels, with their lower end section, may remain slightly lifted from the floor, as shown in detail (17) of Figure 4; or they may have a linoleum or similar floor angularly inserted, as shown by detail (18), for water-tightness in bathrooms or closets, or gasketed, as shown by detail (19).
  • Glazed panels (20) ( Figures 6 and 8) are applied on pins (4) by the same hook means, through shaped profile (21 ), and a set of hooks identical to panel ones is realized on its back edges.
  • Doors (22) (Figure 10), that may be of any kind, are set on mullions (3) through the shaped profile (23), acting as a door box, by the same hooking means.
  • a corner wall is also mounted by hooking its panels to mullion pins (3), through profile (16).
  • a modified mullion structure (3) is carried out through steel plate press shearing and blank-folding, so as to realize a double boxing (s), connected by means of an intermediate section (s'). Outside the respective boxing, several perforations will be realized (f) and also in the intermediate connection section (f').
  • the respective hanging means (4) are thus obtained.
  • the metal sheet panel (5) holds the internal (14) stuck boxed plaster panel (13) and the respective folded hooking edge has a series of hooks (6), obtained through previous press blanking before press folding.
  • Said panels may be made of any material fit for the purpose and the hooks realized in the respective edges may have any convenient shape.
