09850656 · 2017-12-26 ·

Provided is a construction panel assembly, which is applicable to a detachable method capable of assembling and disassembling a ceiling, a wall or a floor material which partitions spaces of various kinds of buildings. Also, the construction panel assembly allows materials to be reused, so that the generation of construction waste may be minimized. The construction panel assembly includes: a main frame disposed in a mutually opposed arrangement on a wall surface at a predetermined position determined according to design specifications; an auxiliary frame inserted into the main frame to define a structure; a flat panel mounted on the structure to partition a space; and a finishing member for shielding a connection portion of the main frame and the auxiliary frame. Since the construction panel assembly may be constructed by using a main frame and an auxiliary frame, which define a structure, such that a panel formed of a material such as plate glass, a gypsum board, plywood and steel may be freely attached and detached, the materials may be reused and accordingly, the generation of the construction waste may also be minimized unlike typical techniques.

The slats 18 lie in a common plane P and comprise a first and second end slats 18a at opposite ends of a plurality of intermediate slats 18b. The intermediate slats 18b comprise a first group of slats 18b.sub.1 and a second group of slats 18b.sub.2, wherein the slats of the two groups are interspersed with each other. The slats 18b.sub.1 of the first group are angled relative to the common plane P at different angle to the slats 18b.sub.2 of the second group.

Leveling assembly

A leveling assembly for leveling a bottom edge of an interior wall panel includes an elongate floor channel secured to the floor, a floor rail at least partially disposed with the floor channel for supporting the bottom edge of the wall panel, and at least one leveler at least partially located within the floor rail. Each leveler includes a head couplable to the floor channel, an adjustment rod projecting from the head, and a rail support having a collar and a support shoulder extending outwardly from the collar. The head is substantially prevented from transverse movement when coupled to the floor channel. The collar passes through an aperture defined in a horizontal portion of the floor rail and is threadedly engaged with the adjustment rod. The support shoulder supports the floor rail. The adjustment rod is rotated to vary a vertical distance between the floor rail and the floor channel.
