Definitions

  • the invention here disclosed relates to elements which comprise a screen for partitions and furniture support, from among those which are meant to partition a working space in a flexible and reconfigurable manner, characterised by special sections, a transverse universal connection means for the screens, an anchoring system for external elements at any height and an anchoring system for the walls by clips.
  • Partitions are widely known and form a part of accessories for offices and more, so that they require no further explanation.
  • the applicant is unaware of the existence of systems for connection, attachment and construction such as those described in this memory.
  • the invention object of the present memory relates to systems for attachment, connection and construction of a partition screen comprising specially designed metallic sections, plate brackets, universal connection elements, rhomboidal parts for supporting external elements and clips for attachment of walls.
  • the partition screen and furniture support comprises three segments (two upright pillars and a top crossbeam) of a special section (1) which allows to obtain rectangular screens of width and height adjustable at will by the lengths cut of said pillars and crossbeams.
  • a bottom bar (8) (figure 6) with a triple function: bottom structural element; baseboard and wiring conduct allowing installation without threading.
  • the section of figure 1 is provided with lateral grooves (1.1) which allow to couple at any point and without breaking continuity screws with Allen mortises and rhomboidal ends (figure 4). It is also provided with a groove (1.4) on its lower face, of identical geometry as (1.1) which allows to couple at any point and without breaking continuity attachment part (7.1) (figure 6) antagonist of clips (7.2) (figure 6) which are screwed to the walls.
  • the section of figure 1 is also provided with longitudinal grooves which allow to insert parts (3) (figure 3) known as universal connectors, meant to allow coupling to adjacent panels by pairs or in knots of three or four panels at different angles and heights. It is further provided with a lower groove (1.3) such that it allows to insert a top bracket (figure 5) meant to assemble both pillars and the top crossbar at 90°. The same groove (1.3) allow insertion of a lower bracket (figure 2).
  • the lower bracket (figure 2) fulfils several functions required by the screen's function and assembly.
  • the first a stiff connection to the bracket which allows a quick and self-centering assembly of the upright pillars (section 1) and which meet plateau (2.3) parallel to the base on said bracket and the lower structural cross beam.
  • Stiffness is achieved by the expansion of two pyramidal trunks (2.2) which self-centre on the lower geometry of pillars (1.3) (section 1), by the action of a screw (2.4) which forces a wedge (2.1) to slide downwards, driven by the inner geometry (1.3) of section (1) and the inclined planes of arms (2.2) which expand and cause it to lock in place.
  • the second function of the bracket of figure 2 is to hold an end clip (10) of the electricity baseboard when the screen is an end screen.
  • the bracket is used to couple a levelling element (9),
  • the sturdiness and design of its plate reinforcements allow to reduce the thickness of the element in order to allow the fourth function, which is the free passage of cables on either side of the bracket from each panel to adjacent ones without exceeding the total width of the screen and without reducing the structural strength required to support the classification and working drawings accessories incorporated as well as standard loads.
  • Universal connection part (3) (figure 3) consists of a vertical connection membrane between two panels which ends in corresponding vertical cylinders provided with internal elastic hollow spaces, which allow by insertion of male elements (3.1.2) (figure 3) expansion of their walls and locking and attachment of each cylinder to grooves (1.2) of sections (1), corresponding to the pillars of two adjacent panels, whatever the height (figure 3.1) and angle in which they are to be connected, a 180° angle between panels in figure 3.2, a 90° angle between panels in figure 3.3 or a variable angle in figure 3.4. In this manner both panels are rigidly connected in position.
  • the top bracket (figure 5) allows connection and self centering of the upright bars to the top pillar by two perpendicular arms in a U shape (5.2) which are tightly fitted in the inside (1.3) of section (1).
  • Vertical groove (5.1), continuous with groove (1.2) of section (1) allows to connect adjacent panels without requiring disassembly of the walls by inserting the parts described in figure 1 along the entire length of section (1). Similarly, any screen may be removed from the set by extracting these parts (figure 3) without moving the adjacent screens nor disassembling any walls.
  • the means of attaching the walls to the screen is through parts (7.1) coupled to groove (1.4) of the section, allowing a double anchoring of the walls by attachment clips (7.2) (figure 6). This allows a simple assembly, disassembly, replacement and exchange of the walls and access to the inside of the screen.
