Adjustable Architectural Frame System
An adjustable architectural frame uses multiple length-adjustable support beams and a pair of panel-connecting mechanisms to function as a framework for mounting architectural panels of varying size and construction. The support beams of the adjustable architectural panel include width-adjustment beams and height adjustment beams. The width-adjustment beams and the height-adjustment beams are preferably telescopic beams that have lengths which can be increased or decreased. These beams are terminally connected to create a quadrilateral frame that has physical dimensions which can be modified as a user desires. Additionally, the adjustable architectural panel makes use of the pair of panel-connecting mechanisms to mount various types of architectural panels onto the adjustable architectural frame. For example, the pair of panel-connecting mechanisms can be tracks along which an accordion door runs. Alternatively, the pair of panel-connecting mechanisms can be rods which support a sheet of material that is played out from a reel.
Partitioning system for temporary and flexible-use structures
A temporary, non-fixed partitioning system includes a common assembly bracket that can be readily assembled with a wall panel formed of various standard dimensioned building supplies. The wall panels may include a standard door slab, a standard window sash, standard dimensional lumber, a peg board, a chalk board, a whiteboard, a corrugated cardboard panel, a foam board, a gator board, a fiberglass panel, a cork panel, a plastic panel, an upholstered panel, a wood panel, and an acrylic-based or silica-based glass panel, and may also be suitable for receiving custom or desired printing of designs, indicia or other nomenclature. The partitioning system could be provided in a kit form with a plurality of common assembly brackets and wall panels, which are reconfigurable for a variety of uses such as co-working space, trade show booths, or lobby displays.
Access control device
The present invention relates to an access control device having at least one movably mounted barrier element, which can be moved to a blocking position, in which it blocks access, and an access position, in which access is enabled. In order to enable a variable use in different locations without time-consuming assembly, for example in order to variably delimit different spaces in a casino or an event location, the movable barrier element is mounted on a barrier support which includes free-standing ground contact means for the anchor-free, position-variable putting up of a barrier element on the ground. A lateral delimitation laterally enclosing or extending the at least one barrier element has a modular design and can be assembled from a number of side pieces which can be variably joined end to end under different angles and which together form the lateral delimitation.
Access control device
The present invention relates to an access control device having at least one turnstile which has at least one barrier element that forms a turnstile arm and can be moved into a blocking position in which it blocks the access and into an access position in which it opens the access, an illumination device for illuminating the barrier element being provided. According to the invention, the barrier element forms an at least approximately planar illuminating panel that is made of a transparent material at least in sections and is fastened to a turnstile post at one end section and otherwise projects out freely. In particular an on-screen display element can be integrated into the barrier element and/or can form the barrier element, wherein said on-screen display element can be made of electronic paper with an image-storing function for the changeable display of information.
QUICK ASSEMBLE WALL SYSTEM, AND RELATED METHODS
A wall panel for a quick assemble wall system may include a first upright post and a second upright post. The wall panel may also include a lower stretcher for connecting the first upright post to the second upright post and an upper stretcher for connecting the first upright post to the second upright post. The wall panel may include at least one frame for placement within the first vertical post, the second vertical post, the lower stretcher, and the upper stretcher. The wall panel may include a first retractable latch located on the at least one frame, the first retractable latch adapted to engage at least one of the first upright post, second upright post, lower stretcher, or upper stretcher. A frame for a quick assemble wall system and a method of assembling a quick assemble wall system are also described.
SUBARCHITECTURAL OFFICE SYSTEM
A subarchitectural office system including a subarchitectural wall having a top edge, a bottom edge, a first side edge, and a second side edge opposite the first side edge. The subarchitectural office system also includes a first arch adjacent the first side edge of the subarchitectural wall and a second arch adjacent the second side edge of the subarchitectural wall. The first and second arches both include a first vertical post adjacent the respective side edge of the subarchitectural wall, an overhead beam with a first end and a second end opposite the first end. The first end of the overhead beam is coupled to the first vertical post and the overhead beam extends outwardly from the first vertical post. The first and second arches also include a second vertical post positioned away from the subarchitectural wall and coupled to the second end of the overhead beam.
PARTITIONING SYSTEM FOR TEMPORARY AND FLEXIBLE-USE STRUCTURES
A temporary, non-fixed partitioning system includes a common assembly bracket that can be readily assembled with a wall panel formed of various standard dimensioned building supplies. The wall panels may include a standard door slab, a standard window sash, standard dimensional lumber, a peg board, a chalk board, a whiteboard, a corrugated cardboard panel, a foam board, a gator board, a fiberglass panel, a cork panel, a plastic panel, an upholstered panel, a wood panel, and an acrylic-based or silica-based glass panel, and may also be suitable for receiving custom or desired printing of designs, indicia or other nomenclature. The partitioning system could be provided in a kit form with a plurality of common assembly brackets and wall panels, which are reconfigurable for a variety of uses such as co-working space, trade show booths, or lobby displays.
Arrangement and method for retrofitting glass wall panel system with glass wall panel
A wall panel arrangement is designed for use in retrofitting a wall panel system provided with at least one pair of frame members having inwardly facing flat walls for retaining at least one existing glass panel therebetween. The wall panel arrangement includes an add-on glass wall panel and panel mounting structure configured with at least one receiving strip constructed with a planar body having an outer surface secured to one of the inwardly facing flat walls of the frame members in spaced relationship to the existing glass panel. The body also has an inner surface provided at opposite edges thereof with a pair of flexible resilient wall panel retaining elements extending therefrom and converging towards each other to define spaced apart retainer ends which are frictionally engageable with the opposed faces of the glass wall panel adjacent one of the opposed sidewalls thereof.
Quick assemble wall system, and related methods
A wall panel includes a first upright post, a second upright post, an upper stretcher connecting the first upright post to the second upright post, a lower stretcher connecting the first upright post to the second upright post, and a frame having an extrusion profile, wherein the extrusion profile is configured to couple the frame to the wall panel frame. A wall panel assembly includes a plurality of the wall panels.
