    MOVABLE DIVIDING WALKING ELEMENT
    The invention relates to elements for a movable partition wall. Such dividing walls make it possible to arrange spaces in buildings in a variable way. The dividing walls can be composed of elements with mutually different widths and / or heights, but also of elements in different colors and / or with different properties. Furthermore, the elements can be mutually connectable.
    Systems are already known in which as many universally useful components as possible are intended to be able to assemble a large variety of partition wall elements. In such a system, a movable partition wall element is provided with a support frame in the form of a peripheral frame. The supporting frame defines a plane and is further provided with a panel, the periphery of which at least partially encloses. The supporting frame is then composed of at least a first and a second upright and lower and upper intermediate lines. The supporting frame is thereby supported by first and second foot rails, each of which extends in a direction transverse to the plane defined by the supporting frame.
    A disadvantage of these systems is often that they must be delivered to the end user in the assembled state, that this assembled state takes up a lot of volume and that the assembled product is fragile. This causes high transport costs and a not insignificant transport risk.
    There is a need for a partition wall element that can be transported to the end user at least in partly unassembled condition while maintaining the large selection variety. There is therefore also a need for a partition wall element that can be completed or assembled at the place of destination, even by persons who have not been trained properly.
    Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to eliminate or improve at least one of the disadvantages of the prior art. It is also an object of the present invention to provide alternative solutions that are easier to implement and that can moreover be made relatively advantageous. Alternatively, it is an object of the invention to provide the public with at least a useful choice.
    To that end, the invention provides a movable partition wall element as defined in one or more of the appended claims. In particular, according to the invention, each of the lower and upper intermediate lines is formed as a substantially hollow intermediate profile obtained by extrusion. In addition, the intermediate profiles are each provided with a fastening means at their opposite ends. This fastening means can herein be slidably received with a head part thereof in a first longitudinal groove of the upright. The upright is herein provided at predetermined locations along its length with transverse bores opening into the first longitudinal groove, each corresponding to predetermined fixing locations of the intermediate profiles relative to the uprights.
    The invention and the advantages obtained thereby will be further explained with reference to exemplary embodiments. These exemplary embodiments will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
    Figures 1 (A) to 1 (E) show variants of the movable partition wall elements according to the invention with different compartments;
    Figure 2 shows an intermediate profile in cross-section;
    Figure 3 is a sectional view of an upright profile;
    Figure 4 shows a support profile in section;
    Figure 5 is an exploded representation of the component parts in the range of an upper corner;
    Figure 6 shows in detail an assembled connection of the intermediate profile and the upright profile at an upper corner;
    Figure 7 shows a fully assembled upper corner;
    Figure 8 shows in longitudinal section the attachment of an intermediate profile at any location along the length of an upright profile; and
    Figure 9 shows, in assembled form, a bottom corner with support profile and castors.
    Figures 1 (A) to 1 (E) show five embodiments of a movable partition wall element 1.1A-1E according to the invention. All variants have a first upright 3, a second upright and lower and upper intermediate lines in the form of intermediate profiles 7, 9. The first and second uprights 3, 5 and the lower and upper intermediate lines or profiles 7, 9 are formed into a frame in the form of a circumferential frame that defines a plane. Furthermore, all variants 1A-1E are also provided with first and second foot rails in the form of support profiles 11, 13 which are supported on at least three, but preferably on four swivel wheels 15.
    The first embodiment 1A of the movable partition wall element has five, in this example the same size, panel sections in the plane defined by the circumferential frame, these are numbered from bottom to top as 17, 19, 21, 23 and 25 respectively. These panel compartments are formed by adding additional intermediate profiles 27, 29, 31 and 33 at, for example, regular mutual distances between the lower and upper intermediate profiles 7, 9. From the obtained panel compartments, as shown in Figure 1 (A), a lower panel compartment can be used. 17 are provided with a panel of opaque material, while the other compartments 19, 21, 23 and 25 can be provided with panels of translucent or even transparent material. In the variant according to Figure 1 (B), the lower two panel compartments 17, 19 have been replaced by a single panel compartment 35, so that one of the additional intermediate profiles 27 is not used. Similarly, in the variant according to Figure 1 (C), the three lower panel sections 17, 21 and 23 have been replaced by a single panel section 37. In the embodiment according to Figure 1 (C), therefore, two additional intermediate profiles 31 and 33 are provided and, for example, two panels 23, 25 which can be translucent or of a different color. Figure 1 (D) shows another embodiment with two different panel sections 39 and 25 and Figure 1 (E) shows a movable partition wall element 1E with a single panel section 41 and no other intermediate profiles than the lower and upper intermediate profiles 7, 9. Of course, for example, only the lower panel is light-transmitting or transparent and one or more of the upper panels are made opaque or non-light-transmitting.
    Figure 2 shows the cross-section of an intermediate profile 100 that is designed as an extrusion, preferably in aluminum, with a variable length. Such extrusions are produced almost continuously and can be cut to a desired length as required. The intermediate profile 100 is suitable for forming each of the intermediate profiles 7, 9, 27, 29, 31 and 33 as shown in Figure 1. The intermediate profile is designed as a hollow tube and provided with a front wall 101, a rear wall 103, a upper wall 105 with an upper groove 107, and a lower wall 109 with a lower groove 111. In the center of the intermediate profile 100 there is a formation 113 which is adapted to receive a thread-cutting fastener such as a self-tapping screw. Such formations are known per se with extruded profiles and need no further explanation here.
    Figure 3 shows in cross-section a post profile 200 that is used for the first and second posts 3, 5 of the partition wall elements 1A-1E. The upright profile 200 is also essentially a tubular profile and is provided with a first viewing surface 201 and a second viewing surface 203, which are connected by an opposite inner wall 205 and an outer wall 209. The upright profile 200, which in turn can have a variable length, is provided with a first longitudinal groove 207 in the longitudinal direction of the inner wall 205 and with a second longitudinal groove 211 in the longitudinal direction of the outer wall 209. The first and second viewing surfaces 201, 203 are each provided with V on the inside of the hollow upright profile 200.
    a first and a second, formation 213, 215, respectively, for receiving a fastener, such as a self-tapping screw or rivet. The first longitudinal groove 207 has a specially shaped cross-section with a recessed groove part 217 and groove limiting flanges 219, 221. The free ends of these groove limiting flanges facing each other define an access to the first longitudinal groove 207 which substantially corresponds to the width of the recessed groove part 217. Between the groove limiting flanges 219, 221 and the recessed groove part 217 there is a widened groove part 223. The second longitudinal groove 211 on the opposite outer wall 209 is provided at its mouth with lips 225, 227 directed towards each other. as shown in Figure 3, are provided with a recessed wall part 229 on the inner wall 205, the width of which is adapted to the width of the intermediate profile 100.
    Figure 4 shows in cross-section, a support profile 300 which forms the basis for the first and second support profiles 11 and 13 as shown in Fig. 1. The support profile 300 has an upper wall 301 and opposite side walls 303, 305. Furthermore, the support profile 300 is provided of a downwardly directed central slot 307, which is bounded on either side by a first tube 309 and a second tube 311. These first and second tubes 309, 311 are each defined by one of the opposite slot walls 313, 315 and respective bottom walls 317, 319. Each of the bottom walls 317, 319 may be provided with an additional bearing flange 321, 323.
    To clarify the assembly of the upright profiles 200 and the intermediate profiles 100, Figure 5 shows an upper corner of a partition wall element 1. The parts are shown relative to each other in an exploded arrangement. Intermediate profile 100, 9, after being shortened to the correct length, is provided with a thread-cutting screw 51, which is brought into engagement by a washer 53 with the thread-receiving formation 113 of the intermediate profile 100, 9. A panel 25 or 41 may be received in the lower groove 111 of the intermediate profile 100, 9 and in the first longitudinal groove 207 of the upright 200.3. The panel 25, 41 can be a matt or transparent artificial glass panel, a printed or coated panel, but also a magnetic board, a pin board or a writable panel. These panel compartments are optionally interchangeable because the connecting structure, which will be described in more detail below, is detachable. After the screw 51 has been screwed into the intermediate profile 100, 9, but not yet fully tightened, the washer 53 can be slid into the widened groove part 223 of the first longitudinal groove 207. After this, the head 52 of the screw 51 can be aligned with the bores 55 and 57 in the upright profile 200, 3. A tool, such as a screwdriver or an Allen key, can then be inserted through the bores 55 and 57 to secure the screw 51 and to clamp the intermediate profile 100, 9 against the upright profile 200, 3 as will be further explained below. The whole can then be finished with a cover cap 59, which can be fixed with clamping nails 61 on the upper end of the upright profile 200, 3. The clamping nails 61 thereby engage clampingly in the formations 213, 215 of the upright profile 200, 3. Of course, thread-fixing fastening elements can also be used for fixing the cover cap 59 if desired.
    Figure 6 shows an assembled top corner of a partition wall element, such as the top corner of Figure 5. More specifically, Figure 6 shows how the washer 53 is received in the widened groove portion 223 and engages the flanges 219, 221. The washer 53 is thereby clamped against the groove limiting flanges 219, 221 by the screw 51. The screw head 52, not yet fully tightened, in the recessed groove part 217 can be screwed through the bore 55 with a screwdriver, whereby this clamping is created. As a result, the intermediate profile 100, 9 is secured against the recessed wall part 229 of the upright profile 200, 3. Figure 6 also shows that, if desired, an elastic finishing strip 63 can be provided in the second longitudinal groove 211. This finishing strip 63 is held clamping between the lips 225, 227 facing each other and can also be removed therefrom. A special purpose of the second longitudinal groove 211 is therefore that connecting elements can be inserted therein to mutually connect the partition wall elements to each other. One can think here of connecting the partition wall elements in a straight line, but also of connecting at an angle or flexibly with respect to each other. Yet another special interconnection is formed by a detachable connection so that coupled partition wall elements can also be detachable quickly without the connecting element first having to be removed from the second longitudinal grooves 211. Such compounds are known per se and therefore need no further description.
    Figure 7 shows an assembled upper corner with cover cap 59 in this case an opposite upper corner with the second upright profile 5.
    Figure 8 shows the attachment of an intermediate profile 100, 31 at any location along the height of the upright profile 200, 5. As such, this representation corresponds to a longitudinal section of the location where one of the additional intermediate profiles 27, 29, 31 or 33 meet with one of the upright profiles, in this case the second upright profile 5. Figure 8 also shows how a screwdriver 65 can be inserted through the bores 57 and 55 to attach the intermediate profile 100, 31 to the upright profile 200, 5 at a predetermined location . By the. to provide first and second upright profiles 200, 3, 5 with bores 55, 57 at predetermined distances, all variants according to figures 1 (A) to 1 (E) can be assembled completely without any form of measuring or marking. It is also possible to make the bores in advance only where they are needed, so that it is impossible to accidentally mount the parts in the wrong place. The special advantage of this is that the partition wall elements can be packaged as separate parts and can easily be assembled by the end user at the final destination. In the case of assembly at the end user, it is only necessary to insert the prepared intermediate profiles 100 from the ends of the support profiles 200 with the screw heads 52 and washers 53 into the first longitudinal grooves 207 and to slide them so far that the screw heads 52 through the bores 55, 57 can be tightened with a screwdriver 65 or other suitable tool (for example also an Allen key or the like). The exact position of the intermediate profiles 100 is thereby simply determined by, on the one hand, the panels (17, 19, 21, 23, 25, 35, 37, 39 or 41 in Figure 1) and, on the other hand, the exact location of the bores 55, 57 already provided. It is furthermore advantageous that the bores 55, 57 can be smaller in diameter than the screw head 52, because only a screwdriver has to pass. Partly as a result, the fixing location with the bores can also be accurately determined. The tightening tool, such as a screwdriver 65, can only be used effectively within very tight tolerances. This helps to ensure that the transverse profiles can only be screwed to their exact end position. In addition to this self-pointing assembly, the component parts are also simple in construction and easy to machine. If necessary, the partition wall elements can also be dismantled in reverse order, which makes it possible to change one of the variants to another possible variant. With reassembly, the same advantages described above can again be used.
    Figure 9 shows in detail how the first support profile 300, 11 is attached to a lower end of the first upright profile 200, 3. For this purpose, fastening screws 67, 69 can be brought in from below through (not visible in Figure) bores in the central slot 307 of the support profile in thread-forming engagement with the first and second formations 213, 215 of the upright profile 200, 3. Also the bores in the support profile 300, 11 are preferably arranged in advance, so that the final assembly can be easily carried out. It can also be seen in figure 9 that swivel wheels 15 are arranged near the ends of the bearing profile 300, 11. These swivel wheels can be mounted on the additional bearing flanges 321 and 323 as can be seen in figure 4, or possibly directly on bottom walls 317, 319 when no extra carrying flanges are used. Such castors are known per se and are commercially available, so that a further description can be omitted. The support profile 300, 11 can still be finished at its opposite ends with a cover 71.
    The attachment of the lower intermediate profile 100, 7 to the first upright 200, 3 as can be seen in Figure 9 is entirely in accordance with the fixings described with reference to Figures 5, 6 and 8.
