摘要:
A panel mounting and levelling apparatus for mounting and levelling a panel, typically a glass wall panel, relative to generally horizontal, but not necessarily parallel, upper and lower support surfaces. The upper support surface may for example be a roof, roof slab or ceiling and the lower support surface may be a floor or floor slab. The apparatus (10) includes a support member (12) which is mounted to the respective upper or lower support surface (68or70). The support member has a footing 16,116) and an upright guide structure (18, 118) extending from the footing. There is a panel edge receptacle or cradle (34, 134) including an elongate channel (38, 138) for receiving an edge (66) of the panel (62, 162). This receptacle is mounted slidably on the guide structure for up and down movement. Spacers, typically threaded bolts (46, 146 ) are provided which are spaced apart from one another in the longitudinal direction of the channel. The bolts act between the panel edge receptacle and the support member and can be operated to move the panel edge receptacle up and down the guide structure and also to vary the inclination of the channel relative to the footing, thereby varying the inclination of the panel edge. Elongate skirtings (52, 152) are mounted to opposite sides of the support member to conceal the inner components. The apparatus allows a rectangular panel to be mounted and levelled conveniently and quickly between non-horizontal, non-parallel support surfaces. Another aspect of the invention concerns an assembly in which the upper edge of the panel is supported and levelled between at least two upper and two lower support apparatuses.

A moveable and demountable wall panel system (301) for defining an office space (303) with a plurality of wall panels (305,315) disposable in a substantially upright manner between a floor (307) and a ceiling (309) each having respectively a series of uppermost and lowermost deviations. The system includes at least one prefabricated frameless panel (315), the top edge (319) of each panel (305) being provided with a ceiling track (327) configured for being removably insertable into a corresponding ceiling rail (329). The system also includes a bottom floor channel (331) associated with each corresponding panel (315) and being configured for operatively resting against the floor (307) opposite to the ceiling rail (329). The system also includes integrated first and second power-drivable height adjustment assemblies (333) associated with each panel (315) and insertable into a corresponding bottom floor channel (331), each height adjustment assembly (333) comprising a support edge (335) for operatively supporting a bottom portion of each panel (315), each height adjustment assembly (333) being selectively operable as to be adjustably raised or lowered, thereby allowing a vertical height adjustment of each panel (315) and a rotational angle adjustment thereof. The system also includes at least one connecting plate (337) for removably connecting a pair of bottom floor channels (331 ), each connecting plate (337) and bottom floor channel (331) being positioned, shaped and sized with respect to one another for ensuring that the side edges (325) of a pair of neighboring prefabricated frameless panels (315) cooperate with one another in order to define the office space (303).

An architectural system (30, 230, 330) adaptable to patient acuity level has headwall unit (32, 232) with a cavity (34, 36, 234, 236), a ceiling unit (38, 238, 338), and a column (40,42) coupled to the ceiling unit (38, 238, 338). The column (40, 42) is movable between a first position in which at least a majority of the column (40, 42) is situated in the cavity (34, 36, 234, 236) and a second position in which the column (40, 42) is situated outside the cavity (34, 36, 234, 236). Various types of patient-care equipment are also disclosed. The patient-care equipment is included in, or is coupleable to, one or more of the ceiling unit (38, 238, 338), the headwall unit (32, 232), or the column (40, 42).
摘要:
A wall structure for dividing building space includes several different freestanding base panels such as an internally open partition panel (41), a sound-deadening partition panel (42), a glass-supporting partition panel (43), and a doorway-supporting partition panel (44), and further includes an overhead system (45) comprising a structural expressway construction (46), a transom subframe (47), a cover (48) for the subframe (47), and a glass module (50) attachable to the subframe (47). The structural expressway construction (46) has a torque box bracket (64) for moving support from an inboard location spaced from the vertical side edge of the base panels (41, 42, 43, 44), and telescopingly extends into mating engagement with a ceiling channel (51). The opening between the ceiling channel (51), to the top of the structural expressway construction (46), and the transom subframes (47) can be selectively covered with either covers (48) or a window subassembly (50) that releasably engages structure on the ceiling channel (51), the structural expressway construction (46) and the subframes (47).

A reconfigurable office partition (1) includes a movable panel (2) with a rigid frame (3), a core panel (4) mounted therein, and at least one cover panel (5) detachably mounted on the frame and enclosing an associated portion thereof. The frame has at least one vertical stile (6) with first and second channels (7, 8) that extend longitudinally therealong and are shaped to receive utilities (9) therein through outwardly opening sides (10, 11). The outwardly opening sides of the channels are juxtaposed in opposite directions to facilitate routing utilities along both faces (26, 27) of the panel. A variable height frame support (12) may be positioned between the top of the panel and the building ceiling (13) for floor-to-ceiling applications.

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.

The subframe further defines oppositely facing inner and outer side faces. The subframe includes a connecting portion protruding away from the inner side face and engaging the movable retainer to connect the subframe to the connector assemblies. The window assembly further includes at least one sheet of light-transmitting material secured to the subframe and extending across the central opening.

摘要:
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.
