A housing is constructed and arranged to be mounted to a curtain. The housing can include an aperture. Upon installation of the housing to the curtain, a portion of the curtain is removed in the region of the aperture. A flexible air duct can be presented through the aperture.

A barrier system for partitioning a space is formed by panels which interlock with each other to provide a barrier that is fire rated. The interlocking panels are assembled in the barrier in columns which include at least two panels. A first horizontal joint between two panels of the barrier in a first column is vertically offset from a horizontal joint between two panels of the barrier in a second column that is adjacent to the first column at a vertical joint. Each panel is made of a laminated structure including a supporting frame around a core layer, barrier layers on opposed surfaces of the core and skin layers on the barrier layers. Tongue and groove construction interlocks the panels and a locking structure formed by a tapered hook in the groove engaging into a slot of the tongue locks horizontally adjacent panels to each other.

A support pole that includes a telescopic rod including a first shaft configured to move relative to a second shaft, first pad secured to a first end of the first shaft, a retention mechanism secured to the first shaft between the end of the first shaft and the second shaft, and a second pad secured to the second shaft. The retention mechanism is operable to move between an engaged position in which a sheet or curtain may be secured to the telescopic rod and a disengaged position in which the sheet is detached from the telescopic rod.

A method of forming a temporary wall system is disclosed. The method includes attaching a track to a floor and attaching cover panels including tongue and groove systems to the front and the rear surfaces of separate insulation layers to form several wall panels. In one embodiment, the method includes attaching the wall panels to each other via the tongue and groove systems disposed on the cover panels to form a wall and then mounting the wall onto the track to form an upstanding temporary wall. In another embodiment, the method includes first mounting the wall panels onto the track and then attaching the wall panels to each other via the tongue and groove systems while on the track to form the wall.

A coupler comprises a first channel having a first axis of extension in a first horizontal direction and a second channel having a second axis of extension in the first horizontal direction. The second axis of extension is parallel to and spaced apart from the first axis of extension in a second horizontal direction. The second axis of extension has a pitch angle relative to the first axis of extension in a vertical direction, the pitch angle being less than 180 degrees. The first and second channels each include head-mounting features, the head-mounting features constructed and arranged to retain an elongated head to the coupler while permitting movement of the elongated head relative to the coupler in the first horizontal direction.

Modular element adapted to replace a portion of the façade of a building in correspondence with at least one floor of the building, comprising an air conditioning unit and a channeling system, wherein the channeling system is configured to receive a fluid from an external fluid source, and comprises at least one first channel entering the air conditioning unit, and wherein the air conditioning unit comprises: a mechanical ventilation element configured to generate an air inflow into the building and an air outflow from the building, and to exchange heat therebetween; a hot and/or cold air diffusion element configured to heat and/or cool the air inflow using the circulating fluid in the first channel and to introduce the air inflow inside the building; an electronic control element configured to control the hot and/or cold air diffusion element and the mechanical ventilation element.

An apparatus for an entryway includes: a sheet of material having a top, a bottom, a left side, and a right side, and a sleeve at the top of the sheet of material. The sheet of material has an opening extending to the bottom of the sheet of material between the left side and the right side of the sheet of material from a position below the sleeve. The opening has a left seam and a right seam, wherein a first magnet is positioned at the left seam of the opening and a second magnet is positioned at the right seam of the opening, wherein the first and second magnets are magnetically coupled. A variable-length cross member has a first end and a second end. The cross member is positioned in the sleeve and includes a first securing mechanism at the first end and a second securing mechanism at the second end that secure the cross member respectively to body portions of a first vertical pole and a second vertical pole.

A mounting unit of a partition mount system that removably secures a sheet of material includes a first portion and a second portion. The first portion has a first end and a second end opposite the first end and a pivot on a lower surface thereof. The second portion has a first end and a second end opposite the first end and is configured to mate with the first portion. The first end of the second portion is wider than the second end of the second portion. The first portion and second portion are configured to secure a sheet of material therebetween.

The present invention relates to a support post (2) comprising at least two tubes (4, 6) telescopically in sliding connection to each other. A locking device (8) holds the tubes in a locked state and allowing relative sliding of the tubes in an unlocked state. At least one end (10) of the support post has an opening (12; 112) in connection with a surface support element (14; 114). A spring is arranged within the opening of the support post to act on the surface support element (14; 114), to resiliently affect the surface support element (14; 114) in a direction away from the open end (10) of the support post and vice versa. The locking device (8) comprises a locking ring loosely arranged on one of the tubes (4) and further comprises a first ring holding arm arranged at one end of the other tube (6); the first ring holding arm having a first recess for retaining the locking ring in loose arrangement around said tube (4) with limited movability. A lever is in engagement with the spring and arranged in a first position in an unstressed condition of the spring. The lever is arranged in a second position in a stressed condition of the spring. By moving the lever from the first position to the second position, and vice versa, resiliently affect the surface support element (14; 114) in a direction to and from the open end (10) of the support post (2). The surface support element is arranged to be installed on a floor, and the lever is a pedal.

A device for mitigating debris travel including a debris barrier, a support-frame, and a ceiling-attachment. The debris barrier includes a ceiling-opening-interface, a closeable-user-opening, an inside-surface, and an outside surface. The support-frame is fixed to the ceiling-opening-interface of the debris barrier. The support-frame is configured to hold open the ceiling-opening-interface, and further configured to hangingly support the debris barrier. The ceiling-attachment is fixed to the support-frame. The ceiling-attachment is configured to couple with a drop-ceiling, and the support-frame is shaped to seal against the support-frame.
