• Partition wall systems of the type mentioned with self-supporting wall elements are known.
• EP 0 455 656 B1 describes a partition wall system, the individual wall elements of which each have detent recesses on one vertical side and coupling pins on the opposite vertical side of a wall element to be connected. If a partition is to be constructed from these wall elements, the individual wall elements must each be hooked into the locking recesses of the subsequent wall element with their coupling pins. As a result, a fixed partition wall structure is created from the individual wall elements.
• a disadvantage of this partition system is that after the construction of the Partition wall alone the last wall element suspended in the partition wall structure can be unhooked. Wall elements that are installed between two other wall elements can only be removed with a very large amount of assembly work. If the partition geometry is to be changed or expanded after part of the partition has been built, all wall elements must be dismantled and the partition rebuilt.
• Each coupling member consists of two frame connections, which are fixed, in particular in one piece, connected to the vertical frame legs of the wall elements on the outside thereof, and a connecting piece in each case.
• the frame connections and the connecting piece have complementary functional surfaces, which enable the functional surfaces on the frame connections to be gripped behind by the functional surfaces on the connecting piece. Should be two
• Corner pieces wall elements of any size can be produced.
• the cube In order to prevent a connecting piece designed as a hollow cube from tipping over, the cube is provided on one side surface with a tongue which can engage in a groove in the vertical frame legs.
• the hollow cube can then be attached to the connecting bolts from the side and is then pivoted about the axis of symmetry of the connecting bolts into the end position, the tongue being brought into engagement in the groove.
• connecting pieces must be used which have a corresponding number of functional surfaces for connecting the respective wall elements.
• four wall elements can be connected with a connection cube which is open on one side and in which all four side surfaces are designed for connection to the frame connections.
• Such connecting pieces are particularly advantageous since wall structures which have already been built can thereby be expanded in a simple manner by hanging in further wall elements.
• the geo- Metry of the connector can include two or more wall elements connected to each other also a connection angle of 45 °, 90 °, 135 °, 180 ° or another preselected number of degrees.
• connecting pieces are also conceivable, the functional surfaces of which can be adjusted in their position relative to one another, so that any connection angle can be set.
• partition walls should have a substantially continuous wall surface after assembly, it is advantageous according to the invention to provide cover elements which can be fixed essentially plane-parallel to the wall surface of the partition wall in the horizontal spaces between the individual wall elements. After the wall elements have been built up, the cover elements are attached in the interspaces, thereby achieving a continuous wall surface.
• the cover elements which allow, for example, shelf supports, tables or the like to be fastened to the outside of the partition wall, as a result of which the interior of a trade fair stand, for example, can be designed in a simple manner.
• the frame connections of the coupling member can preferably be made in that the frame is essentially constructed from hollow profile elements and the open profile cross sections at the end of the vertical frame legs are used as frame connections.
• the side walls of the vertical frame legs can be gripped behind by a clip-like connecting piece to connect two wall elements.
• the connecting piece must be pushed onto the vertical frame legs from above or below.
• the clamping grooves in the connecting piece encompass the wall of the two opposite vertical leg profiles and thus connect the two wall elements.
• the connecting bolt has two clamping grooves.
• the assembly of the connecting bolts is, however, considerably simplified if four clamping grooves are provided in the connecting bolt, which are arranged mirror-symmetrically with respect to the vertical body axis.
• Disassembly tools are provided that can be brought into engagement on functional surfaces in the connecting pieces.
• Securing elements can, for example, act positively or non-positively on the connecting pieces and thus secure their position on the frame connections.
• the securing element can be designed in a particularly simple manner as a bolt which can reach through recesses of the same shape in the connecting pieces and the frame connections.
• the securing element can be designed as a spring-loaded bolt. If the connector is pushed on, the locking element snaps into place after the installer has reached the end position without the mechanic having to do anything. To release the connector, the latch must be pushed back against the spring force and then the connector must be pushed back.
• a light but stiffening honeycomb filling can be arranged in the space between the covering panels in a manner known per se. This honeycomb filling increases the strength and torsional rigidity of the wall elements without the total weight of the wall elements increasing significantly.
• a further plate made of mechanically resilient material for anchoring holding elements, such as screws or nails, can also be arranged in the space between the covering panels in a likewise known manner. This plate can be particularly inexpensive Chipboard material can be produced.
• partition walls especially for exhibition stands
• the partition walls should be composed of as few individual components as possible.
• a method for the construction of partition walls is therefore proposed, in which at least one connecting piece is preassembled on the individual wall elements on the vertical connections on the frame connections. This pre-assembly can take place in the run-up to the construction of the exhibition stand on the premises of the assembly company or the manufacturing company.
• a wall element with the preassembled connecting pieces is then in each case hooked into the frame connections of another wall element on the vertical side without preassembled connecting pieces in a second assembly step. Finally, the remaining connectors are inserted and the partition is completed.
• the preassembly of the connecting pieces avoids or reduces the necessary assembly of the connecting pieces immediately when the partition is being built. If a single wall element is to be dismantled, the respective connecting pieces can be removed according to the invention and the wall element in question removed.
