A wall construction panel 1 for the setting up of walls for exhibition stand construction includes four frame elements 2, 3, 4, each of which having a groove and being connected to a rectangular frame with a peripheral frame groove pointing to the frame inside. The frame groove is formed by the grooves of the frame elements 2, 3, 4 and a panel 5 is inserted into the frame groove. Two of the four frame elements 2, 3, 4 are configured as frame elements 2, 3 extending in a vertical direction Y, one of which is configured as a pillar element 2 and the other one as an edge element 3. Two others of the four frame elements 2, 3, 4 are configured as framework elements 4 extending in a horizontal direction X where each of the framework elements 4 bears with a horizontal end on the pillar element 2 and the edge element 3 is placed with a first horizontal section 31 between the framework elements 4 and projects with a second horizontal section 32 horizontally over the framework elements 4. The edge element 3 is formed by a one-piece metal or plastic element and has a cross-section configured as a U-shape perpendicularly to the vertical direction Y, wherein the U-shape is open towards the frame inside and is formed by two side walls 30 that are spaced from each other throughout the first horizontal section 31 and that are connected with each other exclusively in the second horizontal section 32, wherein the edge element 3 has in the second horizontal section 32 a maximal width in a transverse direction Z, that is perpendicular to both the horizontal direction and the vertical direction, that is less than a width of the groove of the pillar element 2 in the transverse direction Z, wherein in particular the pillar element 2 has at least one receiving groove that is configured identical to the groove of the pillar element 2 into which the panel 5 is inserted.

A pre-formed header assembly creates a rough wall opening for a metal door/frame, permitting completion of electrical, ducting, drywall, etc. prior to receiving/installing the door frame. The header is secured to first and second king studs at respective locations positioned beyond a desired door frame location. The header includes four different channels, one of which is utilized at two locations. The first channel has a first length to span between the king studs. The second channel has a second length, and the third channel a third length, which correspond to minimum dimensional requirements for completing the wall. The base of the second and third channels are each fixedly secured to the base of the first channel. The base of the fourth and fifth channels are fixedly secured to the first and second ends of the base of the first channel, respectively, substantially perpendicular thereto, for attachment to the king studs.

A containment system may include four different widths of panel assemblies, at least four different types of corner assemblies, various types of door assemblies, multiple types of three-way corners or T intersections, multiple types of exhaust panel assemblies, multiple types of wall seal assemblies, and other components that form a modular system capable of adapting to various configurations using a minimal number of fasteners, brackets, and/or clamps. Each panel assembly includes a lower assembly, an upper assembly slideably attached to the lower assembly, at least one adjustment mechanism that interfaces with both the lower assembly and the upper assembly, and a sealing member extending between the upper assembly and the lower assembly.

A connector for connecting a support and a frame disposed so as to be perpendicular thereto. The connector has at least one bolt or hook having an undercut which is configured for engaging in a keyhole-shaped through opening on the frame or support. The dimensions of a front end portion of the bolt or hook are adapted to a wider portion of the through opening, and the dimensions of the undercut are adapted to a narrower portion of the through opening. A housing of the connector is capable of being fixed to the end side of the support or frame, and the at least one bolt or hook is disposed so as to be displaceable parallel with a longitudinal direction of the support or frame into the housing of the connector.

A method of installing a panel member on a frame assembly includes the steps of providing a panel member having inner and outer surfaces and providing one or more positioning assemblies on the inner surface of the panel. The positioning assemblies each having an adjustable positioning member adapted to engage a portion of the frame assembly. The method further includes setting the positioning members to determine a registration point for the panel member along the frame assembly. One or more driving assemblies are then provided on the inner surface of the panel, each having a biasing member adapted to engage a portion of the frame assembly to drive the panel member towards the registration point on the frame assembly.

A connector is provided that minimizes the surface profile of a connection between a header and a vertical member. The portion of the connector that engages the side surface of the vertical member and the horizontal member has a notched section such that the connector does not over-lie the flaring lower portion of the header.

A light gauge steel joist basic structure system of a light partition wall is disclosed, comprising: top and ground joists and vertical joists. The top and ground joists comprise a ground joist and a top joist. The vertical joist is provided between the top and ground joists by means of a first connection member. The vertical joist and the vertical joist are fixedly connected to each other by means of the first connection member and/or a second connection member. V-shaped slots are symmetrically provided on two side walls of the top and ground joists. The V-shaped slots are provided on the side walls and the bottoms of the vertical joists. A construction method for a light gauge steel joist basic structure of a light partition wall is also disclosed. The light gauge steel joist basic structure system is simple and fast to be constructed and has desirable flatness.
