Improvements in pre-fabricated modular wall sections to construct a building or house is disclosed. Adjacent side of the wall sections are tapered and dovetailed that lock-in-place. The dovetails are spaced to reduce the height that one section must be lifted to engage in an adjoining wall section. The footers/base plate will also have integrated earthquake or hurricane hold-downs in the footer/base plate that aligns and can be secured from the foundation to the wall sections. The connection of the wall section to the foundation to have counter flashing at the concrete insert and the wall-to-wall sections can be self-flashed. The wall sections can have GPS locators for positioning the wall sections. Plumbing and electrical conduit creating circuits that can be integrated into the walls and are connected sealed or bonded together.

A method for obtaining a vertical or horizontal profiled element for the interconnection of plasterboard panels to walls, in particular to plasterboard walls that can be applied to in-wall frames for retractable sliding doors or for the provision of drywall dividing walls. The method entails a continuous machining of a metallic lamina by punching or drawing or rolling obtained by using two rollers, one acting as a die and the other acting as a punch, so as to obtain on the metallic lamina a plurality of holes, which are uniformly distributed according to a series of mutually parallel rows.

A storage system is disclosed where goods can be stored in containers and the containers are stored in stacks. Above the stacks runs a grid network of rails (e.g., tracks) on which load handling devices can run. To take containers from the stacks and deposit then at alternative locations in the stacks or deposit then at stations where goods may be picked. The framework may be provided with one or more of the following exemplary services: power, power control, heating, lighting, cooling, sensors, and data logging devices. The provision of these services within the framework rather than across the system as a whole, can allow for flexibility in storage whilst reducing cost and inefficiency.

A partition wall has a structure with a wall end portion butted against another building structure and exposed to architectural spaces. An end post at the end portion of the wall is constituted from first and second end post elements, which are spaced apart from each other, so that a gap or an isolation zone interrupting a propagation of a solid vibration or insulating a path for propagating the solid vibration is formed between the first and second elements. An interior finishing panel for defining the architectural space on one side of the wall is fixed to the first element and the interior finishing panel for defining the architectural space on an opposite side of the wall is fixed to the second element.

A smart wall comprises: a frame structure including a mounting cell; an electronic product disposed in the mounting cell; and an art wall covering the front of the frame structure, wherein the frame structure comprises: a first steel section; a second steel section which includes a second fastening part formed at the end thereof and is disposed in a direction perpendicular to the first steel section; a first fastening part which includes multiple first fastening holes arranged in the width direction of the first steel section; the second fastening part which is located at the end of the second steel section and includes multiple second fastening holes corresponding to the multiple first fastening holes; and fastening screws passing through the first fastening part and the second fastening part, and the first fastening part comprises multiple first fastening parts disposed at predetermined intervals in the extension direction of the first steel section. Accordingly, various frame structures can be implemented and thus reduced manufacturing costs can be achieved.

A panel assembly includes a vertical panel, an overhang panel and a curved transition panel disposed between the vertical panel and the overhang panel. A fabric layer may be applied to one or more of the various panels by way of a stay being engaged with fabric layer and inserted through an opening in the one or panels. A light assembly may be secured to the panel assembly with a mounting portion. A hook assembly includes vertical and horizontal flanges, with a magnet coupled to the horizontal flange and a hook connected to the vertical flange.

A system comprises a retractable panel structure, for example a screen/wall/divider/partition that can be rolled up and that can be unrolled. The panel structure comprises a back face (47) and a front face (48) that are spaced-apart from each other. The front face (48) is at least partly formed of an array of strips (23, 40) that are separate from each other and that move apart to allow the panel structure to be rolled up and wherein the back face (47) forms hinges that connect the strips (23, 40) together and that are capable of flexing to allow the said strips (23, 40) to move apart when the sheet is rolled up.

A partition assembly includes partitions hingedly connected in series. The partitions include a frame with a spaced upright member, a mounting assembly, and upper and lower cross members connecting the upright members. One or both cross members include power and/or data ports. Panels disposed on either side of the frame are movable between upper and lower positions, providing access to the ports. Upper and lower hinge assemblies connect the partitions. The hinge assemblies include gear arms fixed to the upright members with gear heads extending away from the partition that engage the gear head of an adjacent partition. The upright members include aligned apertures defining ports providing a cable passageway from the interior of adjacent partitions. End foot assemblies extend from the ends of the partition assembly and interior foot assemblies extends from between the geared connections of the partitions.

Herein is disclosed a latch mechanism for latching together extruded support members used to construct temporary partitions and the like. The latch mechanism consists of a latch and strike plate combination wherein a latch is placed at the end of one extrusion and a strike plate is positioned at the end of a second extrusion. The strike plate has hooks and the latch has a bail which is dimensioned to engage the hooks. Each of the latches are switchable between an unlocked orientation wherein the bail is free from the hooks and a locked position wherein the bail engages the hooks and biases the two extrusions together. The strike plate, bail, and hooks are dimensioned and configured such that up to four extrusions can be latched around a single fifth central extrusion.
