Description

SPACE DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM AND PANEL ELEMENT SPACE DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM

The invention relates to a space division system for temporary space allocation. The invention further relates to a panel element for a space distribution system. For example, in renovation construction, there is a need for protection to prevent the spread of dust from the space to be renovated to other areas of the building (or vice versa). Protection can be implemented with a room divider. The room divider is typically arranged, for example, in connection with a door opening leading to the space to be renovated, or even, it forms a wall which divides the space, such as a room, into two parts to be renovated and protected. In the prior art, the space divider is a panel element such as a plastic film. Large plywood boards are used in the dividers that make up an entire wall. For example, a frame is built on the plastic film or plywood on or in front of the inner perimeter of the door frame, to which the plastic film is attached. The frame is built of timber, for example. In this case, the strips forming the frame are sawn from the long goods to the dimensions of the door opening N, from which the frame is then constructed. However, the problem with this O 25 mode of operation is its laboriousness, slowness and even its single use. If there are a large number of doors with a room divider = there is a lot of wood and / or plywood in the frame z to equip all the openings to be closed with the room divider. In addition, the tightness of the timber-formed nozzles formed on the door frames when constructed in series is not always the best possible. The dimensions of the door openings can have large S throws, and slits can be left in some places in the ribs formed in series and thus forming a frame.

One major problem is the need for retrofitting caused by temporary divider structures.

Namely, if the frame is nailed or riveted to fixed structures, there is often a need to repair the traces of the frame.

It is possible to reduce the amount of patching work on the frames with the adhesive tape, but this can also leave visible marks on the frame, which results in the need for surface treatment.

When the tape is removed from the frame, paint may be removed from it, for example, which in itself creates an unnecessary need for imprints.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a space division system.

It is a further object of the invention to provide a panel element for a space division system.

The characteristic features of the various objects of the invention are set out in the appended independent claims.

The basic components of the system according to the invention are a resizable frame with a quick-release lock and at least one panel element which can be detachably fastened to the frame, with which the space division is adapted to be performed.

According to one embodiment, the system may comprise a series of panel elements arranged for several different frame sizes. g = According to one embodiment, the panel element may be provided with z quick-fastening means such that its quick-fastening means c are adapted for several different frame sizes.

In this case, structures of different sizes can be closed with the same panel element. > “In one embodiment, the length of the straight portions of the corner pieces is adapted to differ so that the straight portions of the vertical sides of the frame are longer than the straight portions of the horizontal sides of the frame. This makes the frame structures easy to carry.

According to one embodiment, the frame may include a seal fitted to its outer periphery to provide a seal between the frame and the structure. This further improves the tightness of the space distribution system. Dust does not even get between the structure and the frame.

According to one embodiment, the panel element includes a zipper for providing a passageway through the panel element. This allows the passage to be closed quickly and tightly.

With the invention, it is possible to implement the division of space quickly, easily and especially without leaving traces. In addition, the system is partially reusable. The space divider for both the frame and the panel element can be dismantled as reusable for use in the next security object. In the following, the invention, which is not limited to the following embodiments, will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which Fig. 1 shows an example of parts of a space division system, Fig. 2 shows an example 3 shows an example of a frame cross-section and quick lock.

N N Figure 1 shows an example of the basic components included in the space division system 10. The space division system 10 is intended for temporary space allocation, for example to provide protection for a renovation project. It is most typically arranged, for example, in a structural opening, such as a door or window opening.

Its function is to isolate the spaces from each other in such a way that, for example, dust cannot (substantially) escape from one space to another, but still in such a way that easy passage from one space to another is still possible.

In some cases, the division of space can also take place even inside the space itself, such as in a room.

In this case, the space division system forms a wall structure in the room, with which the space is divided into two parts.

Instead of a frame, the room divider then condenses on the walls, ceiling and floor of the room.

The space division system 10 comprises, as its basic components, a frame 11 and at least one panel element 12. The frame 11 can be resized to fit tightly into openings, the size and shape of which can vary.

The frame 11 is adjustable in its outer circumference 14 against the opening defining structure 13.

In other words, the size of the frame 11 can be changed in the direction of the plane defined by it and can be unlocked, preferably steplessly, to any opening size.

Thus, the same single frame 11 can be used in openings of several sizes without the need, for example, for a series of frames for openings of different sizes.

Now the frame 11 is rectangular.

N In the embodiment shown, the frame 11 is a square-shaped profile tube 23. In this case it thus has four sides.

On both sides of the outer circumference 14 of the frame 11, the forehead surfaces 15.1, 15.2 are shown in opposite directions, in the direction of the opening to be closed. On the side c opposite to the outer circumference 14, the frame 11 in turn has an inner circumference 29 of the frame 11, the opening 16 of which is closed by a panel element 12 which can be fastened to the frame 11. According to an embodiment shown in FIG. with straight sections directed to the perpendicular sides 19.1, 19.2 of the frame 11

20.1, 20.2. In this case, the frame 11 can be formed by four corner pieces 18. The straight portions 20.1, 20.2 of the corner pieces 18 are connected in each corner piece 18 to the connecting pieces 30, 5 which are at the corner of each corner piece 18. Thanks to the corner pieces 18, there are as few loose parts as possible in the frame 11. In addition, the frame 11 goes into a small space, for example, during transport due to its corner pieces 18. Compared to the fact that the sides 19.1, 19.2 of the whole frame 11 are formed from profile tubes the entire length 19.1, 19.2, the lengths of the straight sections 20.1, 20.2 remain moderate due to the corner pieces 18 and are also easy to transport and handle, for example in Denmark. In that case, there is often not much space and long handling of the parts would require great care, for example with regard to any lamps and windows in the space. In addition, the lengths of the straight portions 20.1, 20.2 of the corner pieces 18 may also differ from one another according to an embodiment. In this case, the straight portions 20.1 of the vertical sides 19.1 of the frame 11 may be longer than the straight portions 20.2 of the horizontal sides 19.2 of the frame 11. Thus, the corner pieces 18 may have L-profiles in their longitudinal direction. This, in turn, N facilitates the assembly of the frame 11. The corner pieces 18 go anywhere in the frame 11 formed from them and are thus not position-bound. ™ z Further, in the exemplary embodiment, the frame 11c also includes connecting pieces 21 which can be adapted to connect the straight portions 20.1, 20.2 of the corner pieces N 18 on each side 19.1, 19.2 of the frame 11 to each other. There are now also 5 connecting pieces 21, one on each side 19.1 of the frame 11,

19.2. The connecting pieces 21 are also in this case a square profile. The connecting pieces 21 are sized so that

that they go from their ends to the straight sections of the corner pieces 18

20.1, 20.2 in at their ends. Thus, the connecting pieces 21 and the straight sections 20.2, 20.2 can be said to operate on the telescopic principle. In this way, the frame 11 can be resized steplessly in any direction as desired. Figure 3 shows an example of a cross-section of one side 19.1 of a frame 11 and a quick release fitted thereon. Quick-locking means 22 can be arranged between the straight portions 20.1, 20.2 of the corner pieces 18 and the connecting pieces 21 in order to set the size of the frame 11 and at the same time also to fasten the frame 11 in connection with the structure 13. The implementation of the quick lock can vary greatly and is not bound in any way by the example presented here. In the embodiment shown, the straight portions 20.1, 20.2 of the corner pieces 18 and the connecting pieces 21 are square profile tubes 23, 24 open on one side.

20.2 a longitudinal or elongate opening inside the straight portions 20.1, 20.2 and the connecting piece 21 in their longitudinal direction to the inner circumference 29 of the frame 11. In the embodiment shown, the wing screw 31 passes through the opening. N The wing part 32 is then hidden on the inside of the connecting piece 21. In addition, the width of the wing part 32 is adjusted so that it cannot turn inside the connecting piece 21, but = it wedges into the corners of the inner cross-section of the connecting piece 21. z The threaded screw rod 33 of the wing screw 31 protrudes from the elongate opening on the side of the square profiles 23, 24 and a second wing nut 34 is screwed into it, from which a quick-release N is used. Thus, the visible wing nut 34 can be rotated with 5 fingers. There may still be a retainer between the wing nut 34 and the straight portion 20.1, 20.2, such as an elastic washer 35. This ensures that the wing nut is visible.

34 non-rotation when tightened on a straight section 20.1,

20.2 against the cut or open side, which is thus also the inner circumference 29 of the frame. The locking is based on the friction between the straight sections 20.1, 20.2 and the connecting piece 21. That is, with the wing nut 34, they are tightened together so tightly that they cannot move relative to each other.

In the embodiment shown, the quick-release means 22 are integrated in the connecting pieces 21. The ends of the connecting pieces 21 are then plugged so that the quick-locking means 22 remain (open) in connection with the connecting pieces 21 and cannot become detached and drown. When opened, the position of the quick-release means 22 can be changed steplessly with respect to both the connecting piece 21 and the straight sections 20.1, 20.2 insofar as they are nested with the connecting pieces 21. In this case, the size of the frame 11 can be freely set to fit each opening and also so that the frame 11 remains securely in place in the direction of travel of the opening 16. Since one connecting piece 21 connects two corner pieces 18 and more particularly their direct portions 20.1, 20.2 to each other, one connecting piece 21 then has two quick-locking means 22, i.e. a pair of thumbscrews 38. One for each of the straight portions 20.1, 20.2.

g = In another embodiment, the frame 11 may comprise a seal 27 fitted to its outer circumference 14, at least in the corner pieces 18, to provide a seal between the frame 11 and the structure 13. The seal 27 may be of foam-plastic material and provided with an adhesive surface. In addition, the seal 27, in its slightly flexible part, also ensures that the frame 11 remains securely in place in the opening of the structure 13 in the direction of travel of the opening. The connecting pieces 21 can also be narrower with a seal or their points can be sealed, for example.

In addition to the frame 11, the space division system 10 further comprises at least one panel element 12 removably attached to the frame 11, shown now in Figure 1 separately from the frame 11. The panel element 12 is adapted to close the opening 16 on the inner circumferential side 29 of the frame 11 .

The panel element 12 can be, for example, a thin flexible plastic film fitted in the shape of a rectangle which also transmits light.

In this way, it can be rolled into a small space, for example for storage and transport.

In the embodiment shown, the entire cross-section of the frame 11 can be closed by one panel element 12, i.e. the panel element 12 is then substantially equal in size and shape to the size and now the rectangular shape of the frame 11.

Further, the space division system 10 also includes cooperating quick fastening means 17.1, 17.2 arranged in the panel element 12 and also in the frame 11 for releasably fastening the panel element 12 to the frame 11. Figure 2 shows an example of realizing fast fastening of the panel element 12 to the frame 11. 12 on at least one side thereof and on the front surface of at least one side 15.1. g = The fastening means 17.1, 17.2 of the panel element 12 are adapted, according to an embodiment, to be formed at least in part, for example from a velcro strip 25, provided with the principle of mechanical fastening S30.

In this case, the fastening between the frame 11 and the panel element N 12 can be achieved by one or more of the following fastening principles: the hook-and-loop pair 26.1, 26.2 shown in Fig. 2, such as Velcro, (not shown) and / or magnetic fastening 37, also shown in Figure 2. In the embodiment shown, frame 11 has, for example, one fastening element (now VelcroM hooks) on the end face 15.1 of one side thereof and the panel element 12 has at least one flat face a second fastening element (now Velcro loops) of the quick-fastening means 17.1, which is releasably fastened to the fastening element or Velcro hooks arranged in the frame 11.

In the frame 11, the quick-fastening means 17.2 are on at least one end face 15.1, 15.2 thereof. According to an embodiment, in particular shown in Figures 2 and 3, the quick-fastening means 17.2 can also be in the frame 11 on both end faces thereof.

15.1, 15.2. One of the end faces 15.1 can then have a fastening piece of the hook-and-loop pair 26.1, 26.2, i.e. hooks as shown in Fig. 2, and the end face of the opposite side of the frame 11

15.2. For example, the fastening part of the magnetic fastening 37, i.e. the magnetic tape 37.1.

Correspondingly, in the panel element 12, the quick-fastening means 17.1 are on at least one side thereof. According to an embodiment, in particular shown in Figure 2, the quick-fastening means 17.1 N can also be present in the panel element 12 on both sides thereof. O 25 One side can then have a hook-and-loop pair 26.1, that 26.2 fastening piece, i.e. loops according to Fig. 2, and on the opposite side of the panel element 12, for example a fastening part, i.e. a magnetic strip 37.2. The magnetic tapes 37.1, 37.2 may have a tape on its back surface, whereby S 30 adheres well to both the frame 11 and the panel element ä 12.> “According to one embodiment, the magnetic fastening 37 may comprise at least one magnetic tape 37.1, 37.2. Magnetic tape

37.1, 37.2 can be, for example, either fitted to the frame 11 and / or fitted to the panel element 12, depending on, for example, the material of the frame 11. If the frame 11 is made of, for example, aluminum, then, according to an embodiment, the magnetic tape 37.1 can only be in the frame 11, precisely as shown in Figures 2 and 3. In this case, the second quick-fastening means of the panel element 12 can be, for example, narrow, elongated metal strips of steel or other magnetic material, “Rulers”. They are placed on the panel element 12 at the end points corresponding to the frame 11, where the magnetic strip 37.1 arranged in the frame 11 is located. Thus, the strips are then detached from the panel element 12, i.e. it can then be provided with quick-fastening means 17.1. In addition, the fastening of the panel element 12 takes place very quickly. In addition, the panel element 12 is suitable for all frame and aperture sizes when its attachment to the frame 11 is not limited by its fastening means. Thus, in this embodiment, the quick fastening means 17.1 of the panel element 12 is an integral part of the space division system 10, if the panel element 12 is fastened to the frame 11 by the compression principle associated with its magnetic strip 37.1. In this case, the metal strips are placed on the panel element 12 at the magnetic strips 37.1 of the frames 11 when the panel element 12 is installed.

No. 25 In another embodiment, if the frame 11 and more particularly its at least one end face 15.2 is of some magnetic material, the panel element 12 may then be provided with a magnetic strip 37.2 for fastening. The magnetic tape * 37.2 in question can then be either glued to the panel element 12 on either side of it with respect to the frame 11, depending on the implementation. Most typically, however, it is then attached to the side of the mounting element 12 which abuts the frame 11. In this case, the quick-attaching means 17.2 of the frame 11 is formed by the frame 11 itself and, more particularly, by the end surface 15.2 of the frame 11 without the actual special magnetic strip provided thereon.

37.1. According to the above embodiment, the magnetic fastening 37 can operate on the principle of compression. In this case, the panel element 12 is left, for example, between the magnetic strip 37.1 of the frame 11 and the loose strip or between the end surface 15.2 of the (magnetic) frame 11 and the magnetic strip of the panel element 12 (not shown). However, the magnetic fastening 37, especially when implemented in a strip, is not necessarily as dust-tight fastening as is, for example, Velcro fastening, especially in under-pressurized applications. However, with the magnetic attachment 37, especially in the case of the magnetic frame 11, the panel element 12 has a faster and freer way to attach the panel element 12 to the frame 11 than with the hook-and-loop pair 26.1, 26.2, but it is not necessarily so dustproof. If the frame 11 is made of a magnetic material, such as steel, then there is no need for a magnetic tape 37.1. However, as an aluminum, the frame 11 is lighter to handle and install, and may be narrower compared to, for example, the magnetic mount 37 without the magnetic tape provided in the frame 11. In addition, the magnetic tape N in the panel element 12, compared to the more flexible and fast Velcro adhesive tape, which is more straightforward, is less advantageous both in folding the panel element 12 = and in folding / rolling after installation = frame 11. a> O 30 Door opening sizes vary slightly for example, in widths N (700, 800, 900 and 1000 mm are the most typical widths) and S in height (2000 and 2100 mm are the most typical heights). A first way to implement a panel element 12 for a plurality of different frame sizes is to provide the system 10 with a series of panel elements 12 arranged for a plurality of different frame sizes. Another way of implementing the panel element 12 for several different frame sizes is to provide the panel element 12 with quick-fastening means 17.1 so that its quick-fastening means 17.1 are arranged in the same panel element 12 for several different frame sizes. In this case, the panel element 12 may have a wider adhesive strip than its counterpart in the frame 11, covering at least part of the door opening sizes or alternatively even a number of adhesive strips with different sized circuits fitted for different sized openings, such as door openings 11 . In addition, in this latter embodiment, the quick-fastening means 17.1 of the panel element 12 can be at least partially covered by a pair of counterparts which can be fitted to them, i.e. with a corresponding adhesive tape with quick-fastening means 17.2 as in the frame 11. This ensures that they remain usable, i.e., they cannot be trapped, for example, by dust, which could impair the adhesion of the quick-release means 17.1, 17.2. By attaching the frame 11 together with the magnetic strip 37.1 and the panel element 12 to the magnetic strip, a more unrestricted attachment of the panel element 12 to the frame 11 can be realized, since the strip can be placed anywhere in the panel element 12.

N S 25 Since in the illustrated embodiment the panel element 12 is attached to the frame 11 on each side, the panel element 12 further comprises an openable closable zipper 28 for arranging the passage z through the panel element 12 from one side c to the other side thereof. The zipper 28 divides the panel member S 30 into at least two parts; fixedly attached to the frame 11 in the part 36.1 and pivotable to the flange 36.2, which by turning to the side 5 when the zipper 28 is open provides a passage opening in the panel element 12.

In addition to the space division system 10, the invention also relates to a panel element 12 for the space division system 10 according to the invention.

The panel element 12 is provided or can be provided with quick fastening means 17.1 for releasably fastening the panel element 12 to a frame 11 belonging to the space division system 10. magnetic material.

If the frame 11 is, for example, aluminum or plastic and then has a magnetic strip 37.1 for magnetic attachment 37 of the panel element 12, then the panel element 12 can be attached to it by magnetic loose strips (not shown) which can either be part of the space division system 10 or external components. - Tea.

In this case, the above-mentioned equivalence of the panel element 12 with quick-fastening means is realized.

The space division system 10 according to the invention is used in a renovation site to provide a temporary space division, or more generally, to form two separate spaces.

The space division system 10 according to the invention is assembled, for example, by connecting the corner pieces 21 in the form of a closable opening 18 and setting the quick-release lock 22 to such a tension that the frame 11 remains in size but can still be easily resized.

The frame 11 is then placed = in connection with the opening to be closed for the structure 13 defining it, and its sides 19.1, 19.2 are pressed one by one against the structure 13 and the quick-release screws are tightened to such an extent that the shape of the frame 11 is maintained.

When the frame 11 is in place, the panel element 12 is placed from the top 19.2 and the side edges are aligned on the frame 11 and the quick-release labels are pressed together.

Disassembly can take place in reverse order.

Since the corner pieces 18 are obtained from the connecting pieces 21, the frame 11 and the rolled panel element 12 can be transported, for example, as a compact bundle package in an elongate bag. The profile tube 23, 24, for example in aluminum, does not weigh much.

In the above embodiment, the frame 11 is a closed circuit. Similarly, the frame could be open in its circuit, for example at its lower part. This would facilitate, for example, the transfer of wheeled devices from one space to another through a space divider. In addition, the quick-release means 22 of the frame were shown in the above embodiment on the inner circumference 29 of the frame 11. They could likewise be on the other end face of the frame 11, for example.

15.2, which is opposite to the attachment side of the panel element 12. On the other hand, the quick-fastening means 17.2 arranged in the frame 11 can then also be on the inner circumference 29 of the frame 11. In this case, the quick-locking means 22 do not impede the passage from the opening 16. Instead of the quick-locking means 22 implemented with a wing nut, the same could be realized with the most sophisticated solutions. One such may be, for example, pivoting levers in which the base is eccentric. In one position of the lever, the straight portions and the connecting piece can then slide freely with respect to each other, but in the other position of the lever (inverted in the direction of the straight portions 20.1, 20.2) its base pulls the parts together and they cannot slide relative to each other. However, the quick-locking with a wing = nut is more advantageous in the sense that it is a lower implementation and does not impede the passage c when the frame 11 is attached to the structure 13 and through it S 30 when moving goods to or from the construction site. Reversible N links take up more space and are a nuisance, especially in narrow S openings.

It is to be understood that the foregoing description and related drawings are intended to illustrate the present invention only. Thus, the invention is not limited to the embodiments set forth above or defined in the claims, but many different variations and modifications of the invention will be apparent to those skilled in the art within the scope of the inventive idea defined by the appended claims.
