DIVIDING WALL, WALL ELEMENTS AND WALL CASSETTES FOR SUCH DIVIDING WALL

The present invention relates to a partition wall. More in particular, the invention relates to a partition wall which can be installed and removed in an open space, which has good sound insulation and can be arranged substantially nail-free. It is thus possible with such a partition wall to repeatedly move the partition wall as desired in the open space, while substantially the same elements of the partition wall can be used, while the assembly and dismantling operations can be carried out relatively simply and quickly.

WO-02/48476 discloses a partition wall, the wall elements of which are provided with a centrally located acoustic wall plate, while the wall elements are all connected by means of a star-shaped profile. The present invention has for its object to provide a partition wall which furthermore has improved properties, in particular improved properties with regard to sound insulation, using relatively inexpensive structural elements.

This is achieved with a dividing wall according to the invention which comprises at least two wall elements coupled to each other in horizontal direction, wherein at least one wall element has the shape of a wall cassette which is composed of two longitudinal profiles and two spaced apart via coupling means with the longitudinal profiles coupled acoustic wall plates, 1024320

B I

I wherein longitudinal profiles are provided with releasable I

I wall coupling elements for coupling with an adjacent I

I wall element. By using in the I wall cassette

I acoustic wall plates that are in fact vibration-weak I

I5, it has surprisingly been found that sound insulation I

I greatly improves. Such acoustic wall plates can be I

I formed from plastic and wood but metal acoustic I

I wall plates seem to have a maximum sound insulation at such a low I

I provide possible costs. In the wall cassette the I

I 10 both longitudinal profiles and the two acoustic wall plates one I

I can be formed entirely by means of a triHing-slack coupling I

I with coupling elements. These coupling elements secure against an I

I unwanted disconnection and are preferably still releasable. I

In a first embodiment, longitudinal profiles and I

The acoustic wall plates are directly connected to each other via this I

I cooperating coupling elements. Such a construction has I

I prefer if parts of the I

I coupling elements can be made in a relatively simple way I

I applied. For example, this occurs in the case of I

Acoustic wall plates that are formed from wood or plastic. I

In a preferred embodiment, the I

I wall cassette as coupling means at least one between the I

I longitudinal profiles extending coupling frame for coupling I

I of the longitudinal profiles and containment means for embedding I

The acoustic wall plates. In that case, the I

I cassette formed by the longitudinal profiles and the coupling frame I

I while the acoustic wall panels between them the I

I cassette-forming longitudinal profiles and coupling frame are included. I

I For an optimum construction of such a wall cassette I

I 30 contains at least two coupling frames at the top and I

I, 024320 I

The lower end of the cassette and more preferably depending on the height of the cassette between them one or more coupling frames. Because the acoustic walls are enclosed, it is not necessary for these acoustic walls to be provided with parts of the coupling elements and / or with the inclusion elements. In that case the acoustic wall plates can be formed from pure plate-shaped material and in that connection it is highly preferred to use metal acoustic wall plates which provide a very high sound insulation. The fire-resistant properties of such a wall cassette are further improved if the coupling frame is provided with at least one preferably metal coupling bracket coupled to the acoustic wall plates. This prevents the acoustic wall plates 15 from coming out of the wall cassette in an undesirable manner in the event of a fire.

If the partition wall according to the invention is to be arranged over a certain height, it may be preferable if a wall element is formed by at least two stacked wall cassettes. It is thus possible by stacking two or more wall cassettes to realize the desired partition wall height.

Furthermore, if at least one longitudinal profile is preferably provided with a stabilizing strip, the advantage is obtained that a longitudinal profile is strengthened and optionally stabilized, whereby use can be made of relatively flexible longitudinal profiles which stiffen by incorporating the stabilizing strip. For a good, in particular vertical, fixation of the stabilization strip in the longitudinal profile, it is preferred that, for example, the coupling frame is provided with at least one clamping cam. In the case of stacked 1024320 I 4 I wall cassettes, it is preferable that a stabilizing strip extends in these stacked wall cassettes, so that the partition wall obtains an optimum stabilization.

If it is desired for wall elements to be arranged at an angle, a so-called turning angle, then it is further preferred that wall coupling means comprise a pivot point, a curved guide surface and a guide movable over it for coupling an angle of rotation. wall element. It is thus possible that such a rotation angle can be set by turning the mutual wall elements in the coupling means.

In order to realize that only one type I longitudinal profile is required to form the wall cassette, it is preferable that the coupled wall profiles I be point symmetrical. It is thus possible to achieve the required coupling by adjoining longitudinal profiles by means of a longitudinal axis rotation or by the longitudinal tilt as a result of the point symmetry with the same longitudinal profiles.

If, furthermore, the wall cassette is preferably provided with a detachable view wall, a partition wall is obtained in which the view wall is replaceable and adjustable without the other parts of the wall. The partition wall must be moved. It is thus possible to replace it in the event of a change of interior or damage to the viewing wall.

If mutually adjacent wall elements have to be arranged over relatively large angles of rotation or three or four wall elements meet at an intersection, it is preferable to realize the coupling H 30 at such an intersection by making use of a star profile and between I 1024320 connection profile included for each longitudinal profile. If, furthermore, the star profile is preferably provided with at least one spacer for a viewing wall, the dividing wall is given the option of placing a viewing wall over such a coupling with star profile which yields a tight viewing wall in spite of the sharp or blunt angle at the transition at the transition point. star profile.

If a partition wall is arranged in an open space while the pitch of the wall cassettes does not correspond to the pitch of the open space, it is furthermore preferable to use at least one wall cassette that is composed of wall-case parts that can be slid into each other horizontally. It is thus possible to bridge the distance with such a retractable and extendable wall cassette.

An alternative is an embodiment in which the coupling means are adjustable, whereby the distance between the longitudinal profiles can be adapted to the available space.

If, furthermore, longitudinal profiles and / or baseboard profiles are preferably provided with a cable duct, it is possible to route cables out of sight to a desired location via the horizontal and vertical cable ducts.

For an optimum stable placement of the partition wall, it is furthermore preferred to secure the partition wall to the ceiling, for which purpose use is then made of an adjustable, preferably resilient jack, which is preferably supported on or in a longitudinal profile.

Another aspect of the invention relates to a wall element and to a wall cassette as used in the above-described partition wall according to the invention.

A first embodiment of the partition wall 11

10 according to the invention will now be discussed under I

reference with figures 2-6. I

Figures 2 and 3 show the partition wall 1. The I

dividing wall 1 comprises a wall cassette 8 which is composed of I

two longitudinal profiles 9, coupling frames 10 and acoustic I

15 wall plates 11. As Figure 6 shows, the coupling frame 10 and I have

the longitudinal profile 9 cooperating coupling means 12. In the I

In the case of the longitudinal profile 9, coupling means 12 comprises an I

coupling frame 10 releasable but securely coupled.

The longitudinal profile 9 is further provided with

containment means 16 comprising a cavity 17 formed by an I

angled list 18. Enclosed in this cavity 17 is the I

Acoustic wall plate 11 thus the wall cassette 8 is formed

the acoustic wall plates through the intervention of the I

coupling profile 10 is enclosed but releasably linked to I

the longitudinal profile 9. The coupling profile 10 further comprises an I

clamping bracket 19 and a clamping cam 20, whereby a stabilizing strip I

30 21 is clamped in the longitudinal profile 9. This I

1024320 I

For this purpose, the longitudinal profile comprises a cavity 22 and cams 23 and 24 into which the stabilizing strip 21 is inserted and subsequently falls through rotation behind a resilient strip 25 and also abuts against the cam 26.

Figure 3 shows that the acoustic wall plate 11 is provided with a magnetic strip 27 which is connected to a viewing wall (not shown) to which the magnetic strips 27 are attached. It is thus possible to place the lateral wall against the magnetic force or to adjust it later. Furthermore, a foam piece 103 is included which fills the space between the acoustic plate 11 and the viewing wall. Finally, a coupling bracket 28 is provided for coupling to both acoustic wall plates 11 in connection with an undesired release, in particular in the event of a fire load.

The wall cassettes 8 are placed on a baseboard 29 which is for instance made from TECHWOOD. The lower skirting board 29 is provided with rows of needle feet 30 with which an assured placement on the ground can be realized. A rubber string 31 is received between these needle feet 30 in a cavity 32, as a result of which the sound insulation is further improved. Hooked to the bottom skirting board 29 is a trough profile 33 which, together with a skirting board 34, forms a cable trough 35. The skirting board 34 is provided with a strip 104 through which a tight view is obtained at the level of the bottom side of the wall plate 11 or viewing wall.

At the top, the wall cassette 8 is provided with a cover profile 36 to which an upper skirting board 37 is coupled.

Furthermore, the cover profile is provided with two upright edges 38 between which a foam strip 39 is included, whereby a certain sound insulation is obtained by sealing against the ceiling.

I 1024320 11 while still a soundproof coupling has been realized while allowing the scenario 7.

Figure 9 shows a variant of the longitudinal profiles 9, in which case the acoustic wall plate 11 is directly coupled to the longitudinal profile 9 by means of coupling means 51. To this end, frame 53 provided with an edge 52 has been snapped into a frame made of two resilient frames 54 and 55 formed cavity 56. In this case, the coupling frame 10 could be dispensed with.

Figures 10 and 11 show a wall cassette 57 that is composed of two cassette parts 58 and 59 that can be slid into each other, both of which are extrusion parts. By means of the arrow 60 the two cassette parts 58 and 59 can be slid into each other via the run-in surfaces 61 and 62 in a cavity 63 and 64 formed between a baffled part 65 and a wall part 66. Both cassette parts 58 and 59 are provided with the previously described coupling means 12 for coupling in the manner described above to a longitudinal profile 9 while enclosing the acoustic wall plate 11 and a viewing wall 67 using a closing profile 68 in Fig. 11, the two cassette parts 58 and 59 have been slightly extended so that a space is created between the acoustic wall plate 69 and the containment means 16. For a good fixing use is made of a screw 70 with which the acoustic wall plate is screwed to the cassette part 59.

Figures 12 and 13 show the formation of the cable channel 35 between the channel profile 33 and the skirting board 34 and a vertical cable channel 71 formed between the longitudinal profiles 9 and a strip 49 on the one hand. Cables 72 and 73 can be guided through these cable channels 35 and 71.

Figures 14 and 15 show a coupling of two 1024320 I 12 I wall cassettes 8 via the longitudinal profiles 9 by means of I connection profiles 74 and a star profile 75.

The connection profile 74 comprises a wall duct means 76 as described with reference to Figure 6, a wall duct element 77 as described in Figure 6 for a wall duct element 47 with a guide surface 78, and a coupling element 79 which is provided with resilient lips 80 and a I snap edge 81.

The star profile 75 comprises spokes 82 in star-shaped orientation and a shape which cooperates with the lips 80 and snap edges 81 of the connection profile 74. Adjoining spokes I 83 abut against an abutment surface 84 for stabilizing the coupling. This coupling is shown in detail in Figure 14.

Furthermore, spacers 86 are fitted on spokes 85, which spacers are provided with a guide surface 87 over which is tensioned and a side wall 88 is enclosed in profiles 89.

Figure 15 shows a similar coupling but now between three right-angle wall cassettes 8.

Figure 16 shows in side view the star profile 75, the H spacer 86 and the connection profile 74.

H Finally, figures 17 and 18 show an adjustable jack 90 for supporting against a ceiling and a placement in a longitudinal profile 9. The jack 90 comprises a center cam 91 which with H a ring 92 is placed on a cover cap 93 in which are incorporated a spring ring 94 and a tensioner 95 which is provided with a toothing 96 on its H underside. The tensioner 95 is guided H with legs 101 in a tensioning base 97 which is provided with resilient jaws 99 provided with toothing 98. The toothings 96 and 98 work together, so that with with the aid of a tool 100 the adjustment of the tensioner 95 is possible via the cavity 102.

I 1024320 13

Spreading the jaws 99 leads to the jack's collapse. Leverage in the cavity 102 leads to an expansion of the jack and tensioning of the partition wall according to the invention against a ceiling in that a support takes place on the longitudinal profile 9.

Figure 19 shows a second embodiment of a partition wall 120 according to the invention. This partition wall has many similarities with the embodiment according to the preceding figures. Therefore, the differences in particular will be further explained.

The dividing wall 120 has two cassette parts 121, a window cassette 122, a lower baseboard 123 and an upper baseboard 124 with jacks 125, with which the dividing wall 120 can be clamped between floor and ceiling. A viewing wall 126 is placed in front of the cassette parts 121.

Figure 20 shows in perspective view with exploded parts a cassette 121 and partly the upper skirting board 124 and the lower skirting board 123. The cassette 121 has two longitudinal profiles 127. Between these longitudinal profiles 127 an acoustic wall plate 128 is arranged on both sides of the cassette. The wall plate 128 is secured at the top and bottom by metal bracket 129.

Magnets 130 are arranged on the wall plate 128, with which the viewing wall 126 can be fixed on the cassette.

A foam layer 131 is provided to fill the space between the wall plate 128 and the viewing wall 126.

A foam rubber beam 132 is arranged at the top between the jacks 125 as sound insulation. This beam 132 is finished with profiles 133 and 134. At the bottom, the cassette 121 is finished with profile 133.

Fig. 21 shows the coupling profile 135, with which the two longitudinal profiles 127 of the cassette 121 are attached to each other. The metal bracket 129 is arranged over the coupling profile 135. These are held in place by cover profiles 136. These cover profiles 136 are profiled to connect to the top skirting board 124 with the jacks 125. The cover profile 136 is also used for the bottom skirting board, but is not shown.

Figure 22 shows the jack 125 with dismantled parts 10. This jack 125 largely corresponds to the jack according to figures 17 and 18.

The jack 125 has a center mug 137 that can abut against a ceiling. The center cam 137 is fixed in the cover cap 138. In the cover cap two parts are arranged with teeth 139 and 140. These teeth ensure that the jack 125 remains at a certain height. A tensioning base 141 is provided around the two parts I to cause the teeth 139 and 140 to engage one another. The legs 142 are guided in the tension base 141 and are usually slid into a longitudinal profile 127.

Figure 23 also shows a cross-sectional view of the auger 125, the center cam 137 being placed against the ceiling P. The jack 125 is covered by profiles 133 and 134. These two profiles 133 and 134 can slide into each other so as to accommodate the differences in length of the jack 125.

A coupling profile 135 is also provided on the underside of the cassette 121 (see figure 24). This coupling profile I is provided with a cover profile 136, with which the bottom skirting B 123 is secured to the cassette 121. The bottom skirt 123 is covered by profiles 133. The profile 133 on the right ensures a securing of the cover profile 136 on the baseboard 123.

A toothed strip 143 is arranged on the underside of the bottom skirting 123. This toothed strip 143 ensures a stable placement of the cassette 121 on the ground G.

Furthermore, two strips 142 are provided for improved sound insulation.

The longitudinal profiles 127 are provided with a connection profile 144, which is shown in figure 25. The connection profile is substantially identical to the connection profile according to, for example, figure 3. Here too, a metal strip 145 is provided in the connection profile 144 for reinforcement thereof. Compared to the embodiment in Figure 3, the connection profile 144 has increased acoustic insulation.

With the connection profile 146 according to figure 26, it is possible to connect two wall cassettes 121 together at a large angle, as shown in figure 28.

Figure 27 shows a cross-sectional view of two coupled cassettes 121. Each coupling profile 135 is herein provided with a connection profile 144 arranged perpendicularly thereto, through which two cassettes 121 can be coupled to each other. The acoustic wall parts 128 are enclosed in the connection profiles 144. The combination of cassettes 121 is further covered by a viewing wall 126.

As already mentioned, Figure 28 shows how wall cassettes 121 can be connected to each other at an angle. To that end, a connection profile 146 is clicked on the connection profile 144 of each cassette 121, which in turn is 1024320
