Square Leg Utility
A portable room divider for partitioning an enclosed space is disclosed. The portable room divider includes base legs placed apart from one another. Each of the base legs includes a vertical pole receiving opening. The portable room divider includes vertical poles, each of the vertical poles connects a base leg of the base legs. The portable room divider includes horizontal poles connecting the vertical poles at the top and bottom. The horizontal poles hold a piece of fabric. The base legs, the vertical poles, the horizontal poles, and the fabric provide a freestanding structure to partition an enclosed space. The portable room divider including an H-shaped frame and an elongated frame connecting the vertical poles is also disclosed. The portable room divider allows the user to carve out separate spaces of varied length in the enclosed space. The portable room divider provides easy installation and removal and allows for easy storage and transport.
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.
Method and apparatus for tightening a threaded fastener connection in concealed walls and/or floors
A threaded fastener actuator that includes a worm-gear used to transfer rotational power to an impeller gear. The impeller gear includes a polygonal channel for receiving an actuator feature included in a threaded fastener. As the worm-gear is rotated, the impeller gear rotates about a vertical movement axis, which causes the threaded fastener contained in polygonal channel to also rotate and engage with a corresponding threaded coupler.
MODULAR PANELED PARTITION WALL
A modular paneled partition includes a first pane panel defining a first panel bottom edge, a first panel upper edge, and a first panel thickness; a second pane panel defining a second panel bottom edge, a second panel upper edge, and a second panel thickness; a wall bottom edge structure including a fixed profile and a movable profile supporting the first and second pane panels and engaged with the fixed profile along an adjustment direction, and means for adjusting position of the movable profile, the movable profile defining a first and a second outer longitudinal sides, and a third side between the first and second outer longitudinal sides. The movable profile has a first bottom channel accommodating the first panel bottom edge, and a second bottom channel accommodating the second panel bottom edge. A wall upper edge structure has a first upper channel accommodating the first panel upper edge, and a second upper channel accommodating the second panel upper edge. Sliding means allow adjusting the first and second panel upper edges according to the adjustment direction. A first aluminum gasket profile is interposed between the first bottom channel and the first panel bottom edge. A second aluminum gasket profile is interposed between the second bottom channel and the second panel bottom edge.
PREFABRICATED WALL MODULE LEVELING ASSEMBLY
A leveling stud includes a threaded body extending between a top end and a bottom end thereof. The bottom end has a flat bottom surface and a dig protrusion extending from a portion of the flat bottom surface. The dig protrusion is configured to dig into a channel surface of a base track of a prefabricated wall system when the leveling stud is threaded into a positioning nut of the base track. The flat bottom surface is also configured to abut the channel surface when the leveling stud is threaded into the positioning nut.
Wall system with height adjustment unit
A wall system with a height adjustment unit includes: a support frame which is installed on a floor surface; a lifting and lowering frame which is coupled to the support frame so as to be able to move up and down along the outer surface of the support frame while surrounding the support frame; and a plurality of height adjustment units which are installed between the support frame and the lifting and lowering frame so as to lift or lower the lifting and lowering frame. The height adjustment unit includes a support unit which is coupled to the inside of the support frame; and a height adjustment bolt screwed to the support unit and rotated by a tool to lift or lower the lifting and lowering frame, such that the lifting and lowering frame is horizontally adjustable and thus has increased constructability.
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.
WALL SYSTEM WITH HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT UNIT
A wall system with a height adjustment unit includes: a support frame which is installed on a floor surface; a lifting and lowering frame which is coupled to the support frame so as to be able to move up and down along the outer surface of the support frame while surrounding the support frame; and a plurality of height adjustment units which are installed between the support frame and the lifting and lowering frame so as to lift or lower the lifting and lowering frame. The height adjustment unit includes a support unit which is coupled to the inside of the support frame; and a height adjustment bolt screwed to the support unit and rotated by a tool to lift or lower the lifting and lowering frame, such that the lifting and lowering frame is horizontally adjustable and thus has increased constructability.
DEVICES, SYSTEMS, AND METHODS FOR ASSISTING BUILDING FRAME CONSTRUCTION
A framing system for constructing a wall frame assembly having a framing member and studs. A template of the framing system has an elongated body configured to be located on a surface of the framing member and a series of spaced apart openings corresponding to locations for placement of ends of the studs. A framing guide of the framing system has a body, a passage that is configured to receive a fastener, and a guiding surface within the passage is disposed at an angle relative to a bottom surface of the body to direct the fastener along a predetermined angle and direction relative to a front surface of the body. The template may be used to locate studs onto the framing member. The framing guide may be used to guide the fastener to connect the stud and framing member.
Wall system
A wall system includes at least one of a stud assembly, a top connector assembly, and a leveler assembly. The stud assembly is defined by a first and second upright that are attached by at least one web bracket. The web bracket includes a main body with extension arms on opposing sides. A notch is located at or near a free end of each extension arm. The notches are to be removably inserted over an edge of a respective aperture located on each of the first and second uprights. The top connector assembly includes a holder member to effectively raise and lower a top portion of the stud assembly. The leveler assembly includes a threaded rod to effectively raise and lower the first and second uprights relative to a base.
