Abstract:
A panel wall system includes a frame assembly adapted to support a plurality of skin assemblies in a floor-to-ceiling relationship, wherein the skin assemblies include solid panel assemblies as well as captured glass skin assemblies. The solid panel assemblies are coupled to the frame assembly with seal members disposed between the panel assemblies and the frame assembly. The seal members are unitary seal members able to seal adjacent panel assemblies on the frame assembly, and further include pierceable portions. The panel wall system further includes trim members having first and second ends with a central channel disposed between. Acoustical seal members are disposed within the first and second ends while the channel is substantially open.
Abstract:
A floor or roofing building structure (S) is described, including a plurality of intercommunicating roofing modules (M) arranged side by side; a connecting reinforcement (R) arranged between the modules (M); and a binder material matrix (X) adapted to embed the roofing modules (M) and the connecting reinforcement (R) so as to form a self-supporting monolithic structure. Each roofing module (M) comprises a housing volume (V) adapted to receive at least one functional element (F) of the structure (S), which is laterally defined by a wall (W), which has at least one communication opening (A) adapted to be joined in continuity to a corresponding opening (A) defined on the side wall (W) of an adjacent module (M) through an associated operative channel (C), and is superiorly and inferiorly defined by a pair of removable base elements (T, B) arranged to close the housing volume (V), which are accessible from opposite sides of the structure (S).
Abstract:
A movable wall panel system induces a plurality of movable wall panels. A first electrical connector of one panel is automatically coupled to a second electrical connector of an adjacent panel as the panels are moved from a folded storage position to an extended use position to electrically couple the adjacent panels together automatically. At least one of the plurality of panels has an electrical receptacle coupled to its associated first and second electrical connectors to provide an electrical power outlet.
Abstract:
The system of cover panels with built-in services comprises a plurality of nodes (1) fixed to a planar structure in selectable positions and a plurality of panels (3) that can be secured at the 5 corners thereof to the nodes (1) by fastening means. The nodes (1) have base electrical connectors (2) connectable to an electrical supply network and optionally base fluid connectors (7) connectable to a fluid supply network. One of the panels (3) has an electrical device (28) and a panel electrical connector (4) electrically connected to one another and optionally a fluid device (29) and a panel fluid connector (8) fluidically connected to one another. The electrical connector 10 (4) and the fluid connector (8) of the panel (3) are respectively connected to the electrical connector (2) and to the fluid connector (7) of the nodes (1) when the panel (3) is secured to the nodes (1) in an operative position.
Abstract:
A panel element (12) is provided for use in a modular wall system with vertical support structures (10). The panel element comprises a panel (20) having a planar surface and side edges transverse to the planar surface, the planar surface can be hung up on at least one of the vertical support structures. An electrical connector (22) is provided on the back of the panel, comprising a first connector pin (220a) and a connector second pin (220b) for forming electrical connections. The first and second connector pins fit within openings in a surface of one of the vertical support structure. The connector pins are movably coupled to the panel so as to allow movement of the first and second connector pins in at least one direction parallel to the planar surface, between an extended position and a pulled-in position in which tips of the first and second connector pins will and will not extend into said the vertical support structure. The electrical connector is spring (34) loaded to exert a force towards the pulled-in position. A detent makes it possible to latch the electrical connector in the extended position.
Abstract:
A designation based system (1000) is used with a network (530) to provide for a reconfigurable working environment. The system (1000) employs at least one control wand (892) for transmitting spatial programming signals (890) to IR receivers (844) associated with switches (967) and connector modules (144). The connector modules (144) are connected to application devices, and controlled and controlling relationships can be configured and reconfigured between the switches (967) and the connector modules (144), thereby controlling interconnected application devices.
Abstract:
Cable management system for offices and the like, with partition wall elements, said partition wall elements being respectively formed from a supporting frame, said frame comprising posts and crossbeams, said cross beams being interconnected with posts and forming receptacle rooms between one another for the cable management, said supporting frame being covered with wall panels on at least one front surface, said wall panels outwardly covering the spacings of adjacent crossbeams, said wall panels further being interconnected with posts and/or crossbeams preferably by fastening clips and forming the visible front surface of said partition wall element, whereby said system comprises at least one tray-like cover, said cover outwardly protruding over the front surface of said partition wall element and forming an additional receptacle chamber prefixed to the front surface of said partition wall element, said receptacle chamber outwardly enlarging said receptacle room for the cable management, wherein said tray-like cover is open on both sides and is bridging the spacing between crossbeams, and wherein said cover is tiltably linked onto a lower crossbeam with a tiltable joint interconnection and detachably interconnected in locking position with an upper crossbeam.
Abstract:
The invention provides a non load-bearing wall assembly having uprights between a base support and a ceiling support, with wiring channels enabling wiring to extend from top to bottom. Cross pieces extend between an adjacent pair of uprights, the cross pieces including a wiring channel enabling wiring to extend from one side to the other into the wiring channel of the adjacent pair of uprights. Openings in the cross pieces enable wiring to pass out of the wiring channel. This arrangement defines the wall structure as a grid through which services can be routed.
Abstract:
A panel wall system includes a frame assembly adapted to support a plurality of skin assemblies in a floor-to-ceiling relationship, wherein the skin assemblies include solid panel assemblies as well as captured glass skin assemblies. The solid panel assemblies are coupled to the frame assembly via latch mechanisms having actuator levers which are accessible in gaps formed between adjacent solid panel assemblies, wherein a user of the wall panel system can discern whether or not a panel assembly is properly engaged with the frame assembly based on the visibility and positioning of the actuator lever.
