Definitions
- This invention relates to interchangeable partitions, and particularly to a partition constructed to permit the interchange of panels before or after the partition is erected in place.
- Partitions of the movable type having interchangeable sectional units are preferred where ofl'ices are often moved or modified to accommodate changes in business or a change in tenants. Such conditions, in many instances, also make necessary or highly desirable a change in the paneling of the partition structure. Complete interchangeability of sectional units, as well as panels, must be realized if full life service from the partition is to be received. Furthermore, the concealment of wiring and conduits within the partition, at the same time rendering them readily accessible for removal, replacement, or rearrangement, are problems that must be given careful consideration.
- An object of my invention is to provide a partition structure comprising sectional units 7 so constructed as to permit quick removal and replacement of different panels within the unit.
- Another object of my invention is to provide a sectional unit comprising framing members which can be readily connected or disconnected and variously adjusted to accommodate the section to the requirements of field conditions.
- Still another object of my invention is to provide a partition structure having framing so constructed as to facilitate the insertion and removal of all types of conduits and so made as to permit the threading of each conduit through any or all of the framing pieces of the partition, either before or after erection.
- Another object of this invention is to provide a frame member so formed as to provide a housing for conduits, which has a fully accessible opening through which the conduits may be inserted or removed, the opening being closed by a cap member which completely conceals the conduits.
- Another object of my invention is to provide a frame member having adjustable means for removably retaining one or more partition panels in assembled position in the partition wall, the frame member also serving as a housing for conduits.

- the frame member 9 is removably secured to the uprights loand 11 by means of stud elements 21 which are riveted as at 22 or otherwise secured to the inside face of the flanges 16.
- Two stud elements are preferably secured to each end of the frame member 9 and are each provided with a threaded end portion 23 which extends through a small aperture 24 provided in the bottom of the panel receiving groove 25 of each of the uprights 10 and 11.
- the frame member 9 may be closed by means of a cap member having a face portion 18 similar to the face portion 13 of the rail member.
- Shoulder or abutment portions are provided on the cap member correlative to the shoulder portions provided on the rail member 9.
- These shoulder portions each comprise generally an artistically shaped outer wall portion 19 and an inturned flange portion 20 which is adapted to abut against the edge of the wall panels to retain the same in assembled position.
- the inturned flange portions 20 also resiliently engage catch projections 17 formed on the end of the flanges 16 and thus removably retain the cap member in position on the frame member.
- the cap member serves two purposes. It provides a cover which permits ready access into the interior of the frame member for the insertion of conduits, and it also provides the means for removably retaining both the upper and lower panels 39 and 41 in assembled position in the sectional unit. 'When the cap member is removed either the upper panel 39 or the lower panel 41 may be removed and replaced by another panel as desired. When the cap member is again resiliently snapped in place, both panels are firmly retained in position. It is further seen that the flange portions 16 provide a groove formation which forms a seat for each of the upper and lower panels and that the catch projections 17 are bent outwardly to assist in the positioning of the panels within these panel receiving grooves.
- the cornice unit comprises generally an outer channel shaped trim member and an inner channe1 shaped reinforcing member which are preferably so arranged as to break joints and to present a continuous cornice unit.
- the outer trim member has the flange portions thereof formed to present artistic side wall portions 27.

- the inner reinforcing channel member may be of heavier gauge than the outer trim member and comprises flange portions 31 and web portion 32 having a recess portion 33 adapted to receive certain parts of the partition structure placed above the cornice (not shown).
- the free ends of the flange portions 31 are bent inwardly as at 34 and upwardly as at 35 to closely conform to theinner contour of the trim member. This close fit between the trim member and the reinforcing member provides an unusually strong cornice unit and makes unnecessary the use of screws or any other securing devices for holding the trim member and inner strengthening member assembled.
- the frame member 36 which seats within the 4 recess 29 may be of general channel form having a panel receiving recess 3'7 defined by the panel abutment portions 38.

- Fig. 5 a frame member of slightly modified construction, the difference in this rail member over that shown in Fig. 4 being in the formation of the catch projections at the end of the flange portions 16.
- the catch projections shown in Fig. 5 are formed by a sharp rebend in the outer ends of the flanges 16 so as to provide a short vertical wall 42 against which the flange portions 20 of the cap member seat and a return bend shoulder portion 43, behind which the flange portions 20 of the cap member will snap when pressure is applied to the cap member.

INTERCHANGEABLE PART ITI ON Filed Feb. 8, 1932 INVENTOR ATTORNEYS Patented July 10, 1934 UNITED STATES INTERCHANGEABLE PARTITION Elmer Edward Koenig, Garfield Heights, Ohio, as-
signor to The Mills Company, Cleveland, Ohio,
a corporation of Ohio Application February 8,
11 Claims.
This invention relates to interchangeable partitions, and particularly to a partition constructed to permit the interchange of panels before or after the partition is erected in place.
Partitions of the movable type having interchangeable sectional units are preferred where ofl'ices are often moved or modified to accommodate changes in business or a change in tenants. Such conditions, in many instances, also make necessary or highly desirable a change in the paneling of the partition structure. Complete interchangeability of sectional units, as well as panels, must be realized if full life service from the partition is to be received. Furthermore, the concealment of wiring and conduits within the partition, at the same time rendering them readily accessible for removal, replacement, or rearrangement, are problems that must be given careful consideration.
An object of my invention is to provide a partition structure comprising sectional units 7 so constructed as to permit quick removal and replacement of different panels within the unit.
Another object of my invention is to provide a sectional unit comprising framing members which can be readily connected or disconnected and variously adjusted to accommodate the section to the requirements of field conditions.
Still another object of my invention is to provide a partition structure having framing so constructed as to facilitate the insertion and removal of all types of conduits and so made as to permit the threading of each conduit through any or all of the framing pieces of the partition, either before or after erection.
Another object of this invention is to provide a frame member so formed as to provide a housing for conduits, which has a fully accessible opening through which the conduits may be inserted or removed, the opening being closed by a cap member which completely conceals the conduits.
Another object of my invention is to provide a frame member having adjustable means for removably retaining one or more partition panels in assembled position in the partition wall, the frame member also serving as a housing for conduits.
Other objects of this invention will become apparent as the disclosure proceeds.
Various other features and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the following particular description and from an inspection of the accompanying drawing, wherein Fig. 1 is a vertical cross sectional view 1932, Serial No. 591,677
through the upper portion of my interchangeable partition showing in particular the cornice unit and horizontal frame member construction;
Fig. 2 is a vertical cross sectional view of my interchangeable partition showing the cap portion of the horizontal frame member removed;
Fig. 3 is a horizontal cross sectional view through a sectional unit showing the section uprights and the horizontal frame member extending therebetween, certain parts being broken away to show the interior construction;
Fig. 4 is a perspective view of a portion of my novel rail member;
Fig. 5 is a cross sectional'view of a rail member of slightly modified construction;
Fig. 6 is a cross sectional view of another rail member of modified construction; and
Fig. 7 is a perspective view of the vertical upright frame member, certain parts being broken away to more clearly show how the horizontal member is secured to the upright.
Like reference characters denote like parts in the several figures of the drawing.
Referring more particularly to the drawing, I have shown a partition structure formed of separable sectional units. Each sectional unit comprises a pair of channel shaped uprights 10 and 11 spaced apart, with the flange portions thereof extending outwardly. A frame or horizontal rail member 9 extends between and abuts the web portions of the spaced uprights 10 and 11. A cornice unit 12 seats the uprights 10 and 11 and extends the full length of the partition.
The frame member 9 comprises more particularly a channel shaped member having a web or face portion 13 and flange portions l6. The flanges are each provided with a shoulder or abutment portion, as clearly shown in Fig. 4, which is formed to represent'a'moulding strip. This abutment portion comprises an outer wall portion 14 which may be bent into an. artistic formation, and an inside wall portion 15. The lower and upper edges of wall panels 39 and 41 respectively seat against and abut the flange portions 15.
The frame member 9 is removably secured to the uprights loand 11 by means of stud elements 21 which are riveted as at 22 or otherwise secured to the inside face of the flanges 16. Two stud elements are preferably secured to each end of the frame member 9 and are each provided with a threaded end portion 23 which extends through a small aperture 24 provided in the bottom of the panel receiving groove 25 of each of the uprights 10 and 11. By manipulating an adjusting nut 26, provided on the end of each stud element 21, it is seen that the uprights 10 and 11 and the frame member 9 can be drawn together and securely held in sturdy assembly. It is now seen that wiring and conduits of all kinds can be easily placed within the frame member 9 through the longitudinal opening provided between the spaced flanges 16. These conduits can be threaded through openings 40 provided in each of the uprights 10 and 11 so that the conduits can be passed from or to the frame member and through the uprights to any location desired.
The frame member 9 may be closed by means of a cap member having a face portion 18 similar to the face portion 13 of the rail member. Shoulder or abutment portions are provided on the cap member correlative to the shoulder portions provided on the rail member 9. These shoulder portions each comprise generally an artistically shaped outer wall portion 19 and an inturned flange portion 20 which is adapted to abut against the edge of the wall panels to retain the same in assembled position. The inturned flange portions 20 also resiliently engage catch projections 17 formed on the end of the flanges 16 and thus removably retain the cap member in position on the frame member.
It is now seen that the cap member serves two purposes. It provides a cover which permits ready access into the interior of the frame member for the insertion of conduits, and it also provides the means for removably retaining both the upper and lower panels 39 and 41 in assembled position in the sectional unit. 'When the cap member is removed either the upper panel 39 or the lower panel 41 may be removed and replaced by another panel as desired. When the cap member is again resiliently snapped in place, both panels are firmly retained in position. It is further seen that the flange portions 16 provide a groove formation which forms a seat for each of the upper and lower panels and that the catch projections 17 are bent outwardly to assist in the positioning of the panels within these panel receiving grooves.
The cornice unit comprises generally an outer channel shaped trim member and an inner channe1 shaped reinforcing member which are preferably so arranged as to break joints and to present a continuous cornice unit. The outer trim member has the flange portions thereof formed to present artistic side wall portions 27. The web portion 28 of the trim member is preferably recessed as at 29 to receive the panel frame member 36. The upper ends of the side wall portions 27 may be bent inwardly to provide inturned flanges'30 which adds considerably to the strength of the cornice unit. The inner reinforcing channel member may be of heavier gauge than the outer trim member and comprises flange portions 31 and web portion 32 having a recess portion 33 adapted to receive certain parts of the partition structure placed above the cornice (not shown). The free ends of the flange portions 31 are bent inwardly as at 34 and upwardly as at 35 to closely conform to theinner contour of the trim member. This close fit between the trim member and the reinforcing member provides an unusually strong cornice unit and makes unnecessary the use of screws or any other securing devices for holding the trim member and inner strengthening member assembled.
The frame member 36 which seats within the 4 recess 29 may be of general channel form having a panel receiving recess 3'7 defined by the panel abutment portions 38. It is seen that by removing the cap member 18, shown in Fig. 1, the panel 39 may be pulled outwardly and downwardly out of seating engagement with the panel receiving grooves 25 of the uprights 10 and 11 and the panel receiving grooves 3'? of the frame member 36, thus permitting the insertion of another panel as desired.
I have shown in Fig. 5 a frame member of slightly modified construction, the difference in this rail member over that shown in Fig. 4 being in the formation of the catch projections at the end of the flange portions 16. The catch projections shown in Fig. 5 are formed by a sharp rebend in the outer ends of the flanges 16 so as to provide a short vertical wall 42 against which the flange portions 20 of the cap member seat and a return bend shoulder portion 43, behind which the flange portions 20 of the cap member will snap when pressure is applied to the cap member. The wall portions 42 define the exact seating location of the flange portions 20 so that the cap member will be prevented from movement with respect to the rail member 9 and will, at all times, be properly positioned in true vertical and horizontal alignment.
I have shown in Fig. 6 still another frame member, the main feature of which is the inner reinforcing channel 44 having shoulders 45 on the flange portions thereof. prising a face portion 46, moulding portions 47 and inwardly bent flange portions 48 telescopes over the web portion of the reinforcing member 44 in such a manner that the inwardly extending flange portions 48 seating against the shoulder portions 45 of the reinforcing member. The upper panel 39 and the lower panel 41 seat against the flanges 48 of the reinforcing member. The inturned flange portions 20 of the cap member 18, similar to the cap member heretofore de- F- scribed, engages the catch projections 1'7 to removably retain the cap member and the panels 39 and 41 in assembled position.
It is now seen that I have provided a partition structure which not only embodies interchangeable sectional units, but is so constructed to also permit the interchangeability of panels. This interchangeability of the panels may be effected by simply removing the cap member covering the frame member with a simple tool and then either the upper or lower panel or both can be removed, replaced, or interchanged, as desired. Conduits may also be placed and replaced and fully protected and housed within the frame member. These conduits can be strung to any location desired through the hollow frame members and uprights and the conduit apertures provided therein. The construction presented is economical to manufacture and can be easily and quickly erected by unskilled workmen, and it possesses the additional advantages of complete flexibility and interchangeability which is so much desired in general office and commercial partitions.
