WATER PIPE RETAINER
A retainer for securing conduit or wire to an opening in metal stud includes a pair of outer retaining portions for securing the retainer to the metal stud. Each outer retaining portion includes a groove for receiving an edge of a panel of the metal stud. An inner retaining portion includes a base connecting the pair of outer retaining portions to one another. The inner retaining portion further includes a pair of retention members defining a retention area therebetween in which a conduit can be secured. Each retention member includes a flexible arm. Each of the outer retaining portions extends away from the base to a free end.
Relocatable internal wall panel, kit and system
There is disclosed a relocatable internal wall panel, kit and system for a room having a floor and ceiling. The wall panel comprises a first wall portion and a second wall portion having opposed planar surfaces to define a void. The first wall portion is at least partly received within the void defined within the second wall portion in a retracted position and reversibly extendable therefrom such that in the extended position the upper edge of the first wall portion bears against the ceiling of the room.
Systems and methods for selectively positioning wall-mounted devices
A functional wall module for at least partially forming an individual space in a building and for positioning and selectively repositioning one or more objects within the individual space. In one implementation, the functional wall module includes a frame having a plurality of frame supports that define an interior space of the frame. The functional wall module additionally includes a bracket configured to support or couple to moveable platforms, the bracket comprising one or more bracket arms extending away from the interior space and from the frame. The functional wall module additionally includes a positioning mechanism within the interior space and connected to the bracket such that the positioning mechanism is operable to reposition the bracket.
Modular wall system with variable trim
A moveable and demountable wall panel system that is secured between a floor of a room and a ceiling rail secured to a ceiling of the room. The wall panel includes a lower trim assembly that is both removably connected to a wall panel of the wall panel system and pivotably connected to a floor channel of the wall panel system. The lower trim panel is further configured to adjust in conjunction with wall panel height adjustments made by one or more height adjustment assemblies.
Moveable wall system
A moveable wall system and components therefore, including: 1. A flexible power connector configured to flex in only one direction whereby it can be pushed without buckling; 2. at least one wireless power transmission receiving station in one or more of the moveable wall and modular units mounted thereon, for receiving the wireless transmission of power and enable one to charge electronic devices and provide power to power receiving lamps or the like, without the need for plug-in electrical wiring; 3. an overhead track system for supporting the moveable wall laterally below at least two spaced parallel tracks, the wall including a core support member having at least two spaced frame members secured to the top of said core support and projecting laterally to either or both sides of core support, each including a pair of trolleys for suspending said moveable wall in said parallel overhead tracks, projecting upwardly from its respective frame member and engaging their respective track.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR BUILDING A MODULAR BASED PARTITION
A partition wall usable in any residential or work environment is described having modules that can be customized to create a partition wall that best suits the needs of the user. The modules that make up the partition wall can be made from a single frame structure or multiple frame components that connect together to form generally rectangular or square like modules or building blocks that form the partition wall. The modules can connect to any adjacent module on each side or top or bottom. The modules are assembled into the requisite number of rows and columns to form the partition wall at the desired width and height. The modules include electrical contacts to provide electrical power to one or more add on pieces that require power to function, including, fans and light panels. Further, sound batting can be added, and decorative panels to provide an aesthetically pleasing appearance.
Modular in-wall functional conduits
Implementations of the present invention relate to systems, methods, and apparatus for delivering and/or removing fluid from a discrete location within a building. In particular, the present invention involves a modular conduit system that can supply or remove air, water, gas, or other fluids to/from an individual space created by modular walls.
STUD NOTCHING SYSTEM
A notch cutting system includes a cutter guide that connects to a workpiece and establishes a cutting path for notching the workpiece. A notch cutter with a cylindrical cutting element engages the cutter guide. A rotary driver rotates the cutting element to remove workpiece material as the notch cutter traverses the aperture and the notch cutting system cuts a full-radius notch in the workpiece along the cutting path
WORKSPACE WALL PANELS AND SYSTEMS INCLUDING SAME
A wall panel for a workspace system includes a monolithic wall portion and a cover carried by the monolithic wall portion. The monolithic wall portion includes a first surface, an aperture including a wall opening formed on the first surface, and a second surface opposite the first surface. The cover includes a channel adjacent to the first surface, and the channel and the aperture together define an internal chamber. The cover further includes a cover opening coupled to the channel. The wall panel further includes an electrical assembly carried in the internal chamber. The electrical assembly includes a receptacle that is accessible via the cover opening.
MODULAR WALL SECTIONS WITH ELECTRICAL, PLUMBING AND STRUCTURAL GROUND CONNECTORS
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.
