ALL METAL PARTITION Filed May 51, 1930 gwueutow IZBorJ/ey V fiFreedman Patented Apr. 1932 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE HARRY BORSKY AND HYMAN FRIEEIDMIAN, OF NEW YDRK, N. Y.
ALL METAL PARTITION Application filed May 31,
The main objectof this invention is to provide a partition made up of sectional columns which are joined in such a manner as to be readily taken apart at any desired tune.
Another object of the invention is to provide a partition with sectional columns whlch are adapted to be interlocked by means concealed exteriorly by moulding.
The above and other objects will become a parent in the description below in whlch lilie characters of reference refer to 11kenamed parts in the drawings.
Referring briefly to the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of a section of a parti-' tion showing the columns and the panels between the columns in place.
Figure 2 is a longitudinal sect1onal v1ew through one of the columns showing the interlocking plate.
Figure 3 is a front elevational view of Fig ure 2.
Figure 4 is a cross sectional view through a pair of ornamental columns showing the means of concealing the interlocking plate.
Referring in detail to the drawings, the numeral indicates built up columns which have their front faces concealed at the base by a base plug 11 and the remainder of the columns are concealed by an ornamental moulding 12. Between the columns above the baseboard 13 rests sections of footing 14, on both sides of which moulding 15 is located. This footing is provided with a longitudmal channel 16, into which lower marginal edge of a lower panel 17 is inserted. Intermediate the height of the columns chair rails 18 span the distance between the columns and are secured to the latter. The upper ends of the columns are topped by rounded sheet metal member 19. In the area bounded by the chair rail, the upper ends of the column 10 and the mouldings 19, a panel may be inserted in the manner described for the bottom panel 17. The columns are constructed sectionally of two members, similar in contour. These column sections generallycomprise a pair of ornamental U-shaped members 21 and 22 which are mounted oppositely disposed to each other and intermediate therewith are deformed to provide channels 23 in which 1930. Serial No. 458,834.
glass or metal panels are secured. The column members 21 and 22 at spaced apart positions thereon are provided with a plurality of vertically aligned ears 24 and 25. These ears are blankedout of material forming the column members 21 and 22 and are deformed so that the ears are oflset and lie adjacent to the face of the column surface. By deforming and offsetting these ears 24 and 25 apertures 26 are formed. The ears on the columns are engaged by the ears 27 on an interlocking plate 28. The ears 27 on the interlocking plate are also deformed and offset from the surface of the plate similar to the cars 24 and of the columns thereby providing apertures 29 in the interlocking plate so that when the ears 27 are adjusted into position behind the ears 2 1 and 25 on the columns, the ears 24 and 25 on the columns will then pass into the apertures 29 of the interlocking plate while the ears 27 on the interlocking plate will enter into the apertures 26 in the columns 21 and 22. The side edges of the interlocking plate 29 are coiled upwardly, as indicated by the numeral 30, on both sides and is thereby made resilient. The moulding 12 covers this interlocking plate and conceals the same. The coiled edges 30 on the interlocking plate are engaged by a very small ledge 31 on the moulding 12 and the latter rides over the coiled edges of the interlocking plate and snaps into releasably secured position as indicated in Figure 4.
The sections of partitions as illustrated in Figure 1 are adapted to be assembled one after the other to permit the assembling of a complete section of partition. The columns are divided into two members 21 and 22 and are then interlocked. The means of interlocking comprises the plate 28 which is com pletely concealed by the moulding 12 after being placed. The ears 24 and 25 on the columns, which are superimposed over the apertures 26, cooperate with the ears 27 on the interlocking plate 28, which are also superimposed over the apertures 29 in the plate. The ears 27 of the interlocking plate 28 are inserted into the space between the apertures 26 in the columns and the ears 24 and 25 in the columns and thereby interlock a pair of columns in spaced apart relation to each other in the manner shown in Figure 4. The moulding plate, as previously described, trips over the coiled edges 30 of the interlock ing late and entirely conceals the colunm mem rs 21 and 22 and also conceals the locking plate 30 in the manner described.
t is to be noted that certain changes in form and construction may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the inventlon.
We claim:
1. In a partition, a column comprising a air of aligned members, ears on said memrs, said ears on said members being ofiset and extending parallel to the surface of said members, the ofisetting of said ears forming apertures in said members superimposed by said ears and means registerin in said aperture for interlocking said mem ers in spaced apart relationship.
2. In a partition, a column comprising a air of aligned members, ears on said memrs, said ears on said members being oflset and extending parallel to the surface of said members, the offsetting of said ears forming apertures in said members superimposed by said ears, an interlockin plate, ears on said interlocking plate offset rom said plate, said ofiset ears providing apertures beneath said ears on said interlocking plate, the ears on said interlocking plate being adapted to register in said apertures of said members while the ears on said members are adapted to register in the apertures of said plate and means for concealing said interlocking plate from view.
3. In a partition, a column comprising a Bzir of aligned members, ears on said memrs, said ears on said members being offset and extending parallel to the surface of said members, the oifsettin of said ears forming apertures in said mem ers superimposed by said ears, an interlocking plate, ears on said interlocking plate ofiset rom said plate, said offset ears providing apertures beneath said ears on said interlocking plate, the ears on said interlocking plate being adapted to re ister in said apertures of said members whi e the ears on said members are adapted to register in the apertures of said plate and means for concealing said interlocking plate from view comprislng a hollow moulding, said interlocking plate having coiled edges thereon and means on said moulding engaging said coiled edges for releasably securing said moulding in position on said lock plate.
4. In a partition, a column comprising a air of aligned members, ears on said memrs, said ears on said members being offset and extending parallel to the surface of said members, the oilsetting of said ears forming apertures in said members superimposed by said ears, an interlocking plate, ears on said interlocking plate ofiset from said plate, said I t MMAMWMWMT ofiset ears providing apertures beneath said ears on said interlocking plate, the ears on said interlocking plate being adapted to re ister in said apertures of said members whi e the ears on said members are adapted to register in the apertures of said plate and means for concealing said interlocking plate from View, comprising a hollow moulding, said interlocking plate having coiled edges thereon and means on said moulding, engaging said coiled edges for releasably securing said moulding in position on said locking plate comprising ledges on said moulding members, said ledges being adapted to tri over the coiled edges of said locking plate ibr releasably securing said moulding in place on said locking plate.
In testimony whereof we afiix our signatures.
