Straight and curved reconfigurable partition systems

A reconfigurable modular partition system having a plurality of different types of interchangeable (wall or ceiling) modules with different types of compatible connection components, each connection component being configured to align with another connection component at an interface to form an interface connection (e.g., channel) for securing the connection components together with one or more universal connection interface members. The interface is configured for on-demand reconfiguration without laborious alteration to aspects of the partition system, modules, and components thereof. Reconfiguration of modules is facilitated by removing the universal connection interface member from the channel, thereby releasing the attachment mechanism and allowing rearrangement of the module(s). Replacement of the universal connection interface member secures the reconfigured modules in place in the rearranged partition system.

MODULAR SELF CHECKOUT WALL PANEL SYSTEM
20170254071 · 2017-09-07 ·

A wall panel system includes two side frames, each side frame defining an interior channel configured to carry two adjacently positions wall panel inserts facing in opposite directions. A bottom support frame is perpendicular to and joined to each of the two side frames. A removable wall panel insert is carried by the interior channels defined by the two side frames and a removable top frame is configured to couple with the top surfaces of the two side frames to secure the removable wall panel insert within the channels defined by the two side frames. A bottom frame supports the wall panel support system on a surface and a support leg provides support along an axis perpendicular to a plane formed by the wall panel insert.

Conduit clamp for channel framing

A conduit clamp for securing a conduit component to channel framing includes first and second jaws each having opposite first and second end portions. The first end portions of the first and second jaws are configured for securement to one another, such that first and second jaws generally oppose one another and the second end portions of the first and second jaws are free from attachment to one another, to define a conduit receiving space between the first and second jaws. Each of the first and second jaws includes a coupling component at the second end portion thereof having a generally dovetail shape configured for reception in an external fitting groove of the channel framing to attach the conduit clamp to the channel framing.

Truss Based Display System

An adjustable truss structure for a display is provided and includes a vertical truss member, a vertical channel having a vertical slot therein, the vertical channel being attached to the vertical truss member, and a horizontal rail having a horizontal slot. An anchor is attached to the horizontal rail. The anchor has a member rotatable to a first position where the member is insertable into the vertical slot and rotatable to a second position to engage with a surface of the vertical channel, thereby enabling the horizontal rail to be selectively moved up and down the vertical channel and locked into a selected fixed position with respect to the vertical channel. A support member has a channel with a U-shaped cross-section, the channel being hooked into the horizontal slot of the horizontal rail and being horizontally slidable in the horizontal slot.

FASTENING SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SUCH A SYSTEM
20170138046 · 2017-05-18 ·

A fastening system for attaching a board-shaped structural element (5) to a profile rail (3) by nailed joint including a first flange portion (8) for interaction with the structural element (5), a second flange portion (9), and a web portion (10), wherein the first flange portion exhibits a first, external surface (25) for interaction with the structural element, and a second, internal surface (26) facing toward the second flange portion. The fastening system also includes a fastening unit (21), which includes a fastener (22), and is adapted to be mounted in the profile rail, wherein the fastener abuts against the internal surface and forms an attachment point for a nail (27) which passes through the structural element, the first flange portion and holds in the fastener to form the nailed joint.

Nut-washer assembly for channel framing

A fitting for channel framing includes a coupling component and a washer secured to the coupling component. At least a portion of the coupling component has a generally dovetail cross-sectional shape configured for reception in an external fitting groove of the channel framing. The washer engages outside surfaces of a second side of the channel framing at opposite sides of the external fitting groove when the coupling component is received in the external fitting groove.

HEADER TRACK WITH STUD RETENTION FEATURE
20170130445 · 2017-05-11 ·

A track for a wall construction for use in building construction is disclosed. Embodiments can include a track having a plurality of bendable tabs that can be manipulated to grip or release wall studs to prevent lateral or side to side movement of the studs. Embodiments can include tracks which incorporate various geometries capable of receiving fire-retardant material, including but not limited to intumescent material.

STRAIGHT AND CURVED RECONFIGURABLE PARTITION SYSTEMS

A reconfigurable modular partition system having a plurality of different types of interchangeable (wall or ceiling) modules with different types of compatible connection components, each connection component being configured to align with another connection component at an interface to form an interface connection (e.g., channel) for securing the connection components together with one or more universal connection interface members. The interface is configured for on-demand reconfiguration without laborious alteration to aspects of the partition system, modules, and components thereof. Reconfiguration of modules is facilitated by removing the universal connection interface member from the channel, thereby releasing the attachment mechanism and allowing rearrangement of the module(s). Replacement of the universal connection interface member secures the reconfigured modules in place in the rearranged partition system.

Fitting for trapeze hanger

A fitting for hanging a piece of channel framing includes a coupling component having opposite longitudinal ends, a length extending between the opposite longitudinal ends, a coupling longitudinal portion configured to be secured in the external fitting groove of the channel framing body, and an exposed longitudinal portion configured to extend outward from one of the open groove ends of an external fitting groove for connection to a rod to hang the piece of channel framing from an elevated structure when the coupling longitudinal portion of the coupling component is received in the external fitting groove.

Post for a folding door

A locking post for a closure, the post having front and rear walls joined at their sides by two side walls to form a tubular post having a generally quadratic cross-sectional shape. Each side wall has a groove therein, the groove parallel to the longitudinal axis of the post, and wide enough and deep enough to at least partly receive a locking element carried by the post. The sides of the groove also provide handles which can be gripped to move a closure the post is mounted on.
