Abstract:
Implementations of the present invention relate to systems, methods, and apparatus for protecting individual spaces formed by modular walls from unauthorized and/or undetected entry. More specifically, at least one implementation includes tamper evident panels that can indicate unauthorized removal thereof and/or indicate an occurrence of unauthorized entry into a protected individual space.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to modular and reconfigurable architectural assemblies such as modular walls and modular furniture, including modular and reconfigurable desk systems, with features and components that provide wire management functionality. A modular desk system includes a horizontal work surface and a lower vertical section extending vertically downward and/or upward from the work surface. At least a portion of the lower vertical section houses one or more resource trays having power and data receptacles for user wires to plug into. An access component such as a cover encloses the resource tray to provide a functional and aesthetically pleasing assembly while allowing management and organization of user wires and/or supply wires.
Abstract:
Implementations of the present invention provide systems, methods, and apparatus for securing trim to interior and/or exterior walls and wall portions. In particular, at least one implementation includes a system for connecting and securing trim elements without additional adjustments and/or fitting thereof. Moreover, the system for connecting and securing trim elements can improve accuracy and increase the speed of assembly, thereby reducing time and expense associated with installing trim to a building.
Abstract:
Implementations of the present invention relate to systems, methods, and apparatus for positioning and/or selectively repositioning one or more objects within an individual space. More specifically, a functional wall module can at least partially define the individual space. Furthermore, the functional wall module can include a single or multiple movable platforms that may support or secure one or more objects. As such, movement of the movable platform(s) may position and/or selectively reposition such objects within the individual space.
Abstract:
A mounting system for mounting a piece of furniture in a movable manner to a modular wall system includes a side support bar that has a channel extending therethrough. The side support bar can be mounted to a modular wall system. A roller assembly is connected to the piece of furniture. The roller assembly includes rollers that can be positioned and moved within the channel to enable the piece of furniture to be selectively repositioned along the modular wall system.
Abstract:
Implementations of the present invention relate to systems, methods, and apparatus for forming individual spaces within a building. More specifically, implementations can involve partitions and/or walls that can define an individual space, which can produce a perception for occupants that the individual space is larger than actual dimensions thereof. As such, the occupants of the individual space can have a perception or experience of being in an individual space that is non-confining or less confining than a conventional individual space.
Abstract:
Implementations of the present invention relate to systems, methods, and apparatus for incorporating face- and center-mounted panels into a single wall module to form nested wall modules. For instance, face-mounted panels can nest within the center- mounted panels. Additionally or alternatively, center-mounted panels can nest within the face-mounted panels to form windows.
Abstract:
Reinforced panels include a layer of glass joined to a substrate to support the glass. Connectors are joined to the side of the substrate opposite the glass to enable the reinforced panel to be configured with and/or attached to a modular wall system. The glass can be backpainted prior to joining to the substrate, and/or a film can be included in the reinforced tile disposed between the glass panel and the substrate. A reinforced panel includes a conductive material disposed between a glass layer and a substrate to form a touch-responsive section. One or more intermediate layers disposed between the glass layer and the substrate are included. The one or more intermediate layers have sufficient elastic deformability so as to enable the reinforced panel to tolerate differences in thermal expansion between the substrate and the glass layer without resulting in cracking of the glass layer.
Abstract:
A modular wall system with an integrated pocket door includes a frame defining a wall plane and a doorway. The system also includes one or more aesthetic panels connected to at least a portion of the frame so as to cover at least a portion of the wall frame. Additionally, the system includes a support member extending above the doorway and across at least a portion of the wall plane. The support member includes an integrated track that is accessible through one or more access windows integrated into the support member. The system includes a slideable pocket door integrated into the track such that when closed, the pocket door blocks the doorway, and when open, the pocket door is at least partially enclosed behind the one or more aesthetic panels.
Abstract:
Implementations of the present invention relate to systems, methods, and apparatus for constructing a building. More specifically, the present disclosure provides an interlocking wall system that can allow a builder to accurately position, orient, and/or secure various structural wall modules. Additionally, this disclosure provides systems and methods for securing one or more cladding layers to the building's envelope. Furthermore, implementations of the present disclosure can allow for quick and modifiable installation of utility and communication lines within the building.
