16 Claims.
This invention relates to an improvement in metal partitions and more particularly to the construction details and method of assembly.
The preferred embodiment of this invention provides two-element pilasters joined to frame or panel elements and adapted to be removably engaged to create full inter-changeability of units.
Prior to this invention the practise in metal partition manufacture has been to provide frame units and pilasters, said units being in one fashion or another, removably supported between adjacent pilasters. This type structure resulted from the belief that insufficient partition support could be attained in any other manner than by providing rugged pilasters or posts by which to anchor to and support frame units.
.The following specification discloses a metal partition having for its principal object the provision of fully interchangeable frame and pilaster units.
Another object of this invention lies in the provision of duplicate pilaster elements, one of which bounds the vertical edge of each frame unit.
A further object of this invention lies in the provision of expansion members by which to removably support the frame units and pilasters in fixed engagement with floor and ceiling.
Other and further objects of this invention will be understood when reference is had to the following specification in conjunction with the ac companying drawings and in which;
Fig. 1 is a front elevation of one modification of this invention, assembled for use;
Fig. 2 is an enlarged horizontal sectional view showing pilaster and frame assembly, being taken on the line 2-2 of Figure 1;

Fig. 6 is a horizontal sectional view, taken on line 6-45 of Figure 1, and shows the method of joining frame and pilaster elements Fig. 7 is a horizontal sectional view, taken on the line 1-1 of Figure 6, further showing the connection between pilaster andframe elements; and v i Fig. 8 is a vertical section through a pilaster showing the adjustable mounting therefor.
Referring to the drawings this invention is, shown comprised of pilasters indicated by the reference numeral lil between which are supported panel and frame units Each 'pilasteris comprised of a pair of identical and oppositely disposed elements l3 and M. .The element I3 is formed to provide a vertical face l5, one longitudinal edge of which is terminated by a spaced reverse flange I6. The other vertical edge of the face is ended in a short flange l8 which, from the shoulder i9, is continued in the flange 2|. From the shoulder lit, the flange 2| extends approximately the thickness of the partition wall and terminates in a right angle flange 22. 'The flange 22 is formed with a reversely disposed clip 23,v the end 24 of which closely approaches the wall of said flange. Inasmuch as the elements I 3 and l4 are identical, reference numerals applied to one element represent corresponding parts of the other element. Formed in the flafnge2| of each element are a series of projectionsor shoulders 2%. Each of these shoulders is formed with a flat face 2'! against which the inner Wall of the hereinafter described frame elements abut. Metal and glass panels 28 and 29 are mounted in frames located between adjacent pilasters. A
head rail or subcornice 30 is mounted above the glass panel 29. The side rails 32, from the lower horizontal rail 33 to the intermediate horizontal .rail 34,'ar,e formed substantially as shown in Figure 2, being shaped to create shoulders 35 which fit into a recess 36 in the flange 2| of the pilaster element. Pockets 38, formed jointly by the flanged walls 39 and looped portions 40, are adapted to re-' ceive panel elements 42. A flat central portion 43 of the rail is adapted to abut the flange 2|. of. the pilaster when said elements are joined, being secured to said pilaster in any suitable manner as by welding. Secured by the flange 45, to one of the'panel elements 42, is a clip 46. Fastened to the other panel element is a channel member 41 having a'flange 48 thereon engaged between the clip 46 and the wall of the opposite panel element by which to spacedly join said elements together. The lower horizontal rail 33 is formed with re.- versed flanges 5|] by which pockets 5| are created.- The inner wall 52of the pocket closely approaches the flange at. The panel elements 42 are frictionally engaged with the lower horizontal rail 33 by the flanges 59 and walls 52. The intermediate horizontal rail 34'is formed with double reversed. flanges 53 providing pockets 54 along the lower edge thereof. The upper edges of the panel elements42 are received within the pockets 54. It will be noted from the description thus far that the vertical rails.
each panel element 42 is frictionally engaged with the side rails 32 and also with the lower and intermediate rails 33 and 34. Inasmuch as the panel elements 42 are formed from metal, it
is contemplated that there .will be no occasion to remove them from their frame and no removable meanstherefore is shown.
The intermediate horizontal rail 34- is formed with a raised shoulder 56 in the face 51 thereof. A moulding 58, secured by screws 59 to the contemplated toljoi'n all of said elements'together to constitute a continuous vertical rail re ceivable'in therecess 36 inthe pilaster wall; The face 62 of the rail portion'justdescribed, being somewhat removed from the flange 21 of the pilaster, is engaged with said pilaster by 7 contact with the'faces '21 and is welded or otherwise secured thereto. It will be noted that'the structure; along the upper face of the intermediate rail, is substantially identical with that of The horizontal element 65, which engages the upper portion of the glass panel 29, is shaped identically with the portions of-"the vertical'rails engaging said panel, being 7 formed with" flanges 56, face El and shoulder 68.
.A moulding 69 is removably joined to the face 61' by 'sc'rews 59.
Above theielement is located the subcornice '30-;extending the full partition length and shown ,in one embodiment formed from rectangular tubing II. Within the tubing-are =two inverted fchannel members I3 welded together along their base walls 14. The flanges of thechannels engage'the upper and lower walls of the tubing H and'reinforce-said tubing against buckling or twisting when the partition is s'ubjected'to any strain. Secured by Welding to the upper and lower faces of the tubing 'II,are clips I6- I having converging flanges TI. The clips 15 are adapted 'to align the horizontal rail element 65 beneath the tubing and a second horizontal rail element I8- above the tubing, the inturned fflang'e'sof said rail elements engaging the converging flanges 1! of the clips. 7 7
Between the subcornice 30 and the ceiling corniceBIIis located another-panel 3|. This panel is'secu'red to the horizontalrail I8, vertical rails 83 -and upper horizontal rail 84. The vertical rails IlB are joined to the pilaster flange 2I by welding-or otherwiseisuitably securing the face thereof against' pilaster faces 27. The, cornice 'is formed with a longitudinally extending depression"85 in the lower wall 86 thereof. Into this depression the horizontal rail 84 is fitted.
,Mounted' centrally of the edges on the upper face 88 of the cornice, and. secured thereto by welding, is a channel plate a 89. The filler panels are movedupwardly into engagement with pockets 93, of the ceiling rail 92 and joined to the plate 89 in any preferred manner as by screws'SU; [A flange 94, spaced from the outer walls by -curved walls 96, abuts the ceiling 91. A- r-einforcing plate .98" is mounted against the under face of the flange 94 and anchor bolts 99 firmly secure the rail 92 to the ceiling 91.
Reference is now had to Figures 3, 4; and 8 wherein is shown the structure by which each pilaster is supported. Beneath flanges 2I of the pilaster elements is a bracket IOI. Between the pilaster walls the bracket is formed with upwardly and, inwardly sloped walls I02 which join together in a flange I04. An opening its is located centrally of the flange I04. The end flanges I05 of the plate extend beyond the flanged walls 2| of the pilaster to form a substantial seat for each panel unit which, as stated above, is comprised of spaced pilaster elements and a frame. Secured to the under face of the flange IM is a nut I08, the threaded opening I09 therethrough being centered with the opening I05 of the flange I04. Beneath each pilaster, and thefloor, is a base plate a central opening II2. An adjusting and -sup porting bolt H3 is threadably engaged with the nut I88. The lower end of the bolt II3'is formed with-a hexagonal head vI I5 beneath which projects a centered shoulder I I6. The shoulder'I'IF is seated in the opening H2 of the plate I I'-I Rotating the bolt II3, by means 'of'the head I I5,-
secured in any desired manner to III in which is formed causes the nut I08 and plate IIII to move upwardly or downwardly. g i
The supporting structure just described is of sufficient strength to not only carry the load of" the partition but be capable of moving each unit upwardly into close engagement with the ceiling.
When the partition has been adjusted by the bolt 5 I3 to engage the ceiling, a gap between the base thereof and the floor occurs. The gap beneath the frame is closed by a mop strip I-Ilwhichis secured in any suitable-manner to thelower rail 33of'said frame as by screws HE; A flange I20 is formed at right angles to the mop strip I I8and engages the floor, being secured thereto if'desired. The gap, between the base of each pilaster and the floor, is concealed by pilaster plates I 2 I= which are joined to the vertical faces I5 of the" pilaster elements I3 and I4 by screws I23. The
plates .I2I are of slightly increased size in order that, when mounted-against the face I1, they will overlap adjacent mop strips H8.
The pilaster element, adjacent the building" .wall, has secured thereto a wall filler-'member is channel formed. and
I25; This 'member provided with finish shoulders I26 along the flanges thereof. The closed end of 'the'filler member is welded or otherwise suitably joined to the flange 2| of the pilaster element. A'channel" bracket I21 is mounted within and strengthen the walls of the filler member. 1
To assemble a partition constructed in accordance with this invention, the following method will be found most expedient. Each frame or removable partition unit is comprised of two oppositely disposed pilaster elements between which are located panels 28 and 29.'-Prior toerecting the partition, base plates III, bolts H3 and plates I01 are positioned,.the number thereofcorresponding with the number of pilasters oc-' curring in the partition wall. When these supporting member have been mounted on the floor, the partition units maybe assembled, 'I'his-is' accomplished byengaging the flanges I6 of the pilaster elements with the clips 23 of the opposite elements and moving to a position such that the flanges 2I of the elements rest upon the flanges I06 of the plate IIII', adjacent the sloped walls I02. Since it is contemplated that the pilaster been reached.
Subsequent to the erection of the partition units, the subcornice is mounted, being engaged with the horizontal rails 65 through the elements 16. Should it be found necessary to more firmly engage the subcornice with the partition units, screws I29 areprovided by which engagement is had between the rail element 65 and the lower wall of the subcornice. Above the subcornice and removably engaged therewith, along the flanges 11 of the clip '16, are further'panel units. Each of these units is comprised of spaced and oppositely disposed pilaster elements between which vertical and horizontal rails and panel 8! Y are located. When the pilaster elements l3 and M of adjacent units are engaged and adjusted to their proper position, the full cornice 80 is mount-' ed thereon. The ceiling rail 92 is secured to the ceiling by' bolts 99 after which the filler panels 9| may be mounted, being engaged within the recesses 93 and secured to'the panel plate 89 by screws 90.
It will be noted that the subcornice extends unbroken the full length of the partition and constitutes a rigid and unyielding support to the entire assembly. It will be noted further that the partition units, located beneath the subcornice, are removable irrespective of the structure above said subcornice. A partition unit may be removed by first removing the mop strip I I8, and pilaster plates I 2|. Access may now be had to the adjusting bolt H3 which, when rotated in a counterclockwise direction lowers the unit. When said unit has moved downwardly upon the bolt H3 approximately one-half inch, the upper rail element 65 will be free from the channel clip 16. The unit is then moved laterally, first one direction and then the other, to disengage the pilaster elements.
While applicant has shown and described but one modification of this invention, it will be understood that other adaptations of the pilaster and frame structure herein shown and described, may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as set forth in thehereunto annexed claims.
