Abstract

A hinge joint connects a first barrier to a second barrier of a wall which partitions a space. The hinge joint includes a female part connecting to the first barrier and including first and second pieces slidable relative to each other in setting a height of the hinge joint assembly to fit the ceiling height of the space. The hinge joint further includes a male part connecting to the second barrier and including third and fourth pieces which are slidable relative to each other in setting the height of the hinge joint assembly to fit the ceiling height of the space. Edges of the first and second pieces include at least one latch slot configured to retain a fixed latch pin of the first barrier. Edges of the third and fourth pieces include at least one retractable latch pin configured to engage a latch slot of the second barrier.

Abstract

A barrier system for partitioning a space includes wall panels which interlock with each other to provide a modular wall that is fire rated. The interlocking panels are assembled in the barrier in columns using a first tongue and groove assembly and a panel lock using a strike and latch supported by the tongue member and groove member, respectively. The barrier system further includes cap panel which adjoin each at a joint to provide a modular ceiling that is fire rated. The cap panels are assembled in the barrier to corresponding wall panels using a second tongue and groove assembly and a panel lock using a strike and latch supported by the tongue member and groove member, respectively.

Abstract

A barrier system for partitioning a space includes panels which interlock with each other to provide a barrier that is fire rated. The interlocking panels are assembled in the barrier in columns using a tongue and groove assembly and a panel lock using a strike and latch supported by the tongue member and groove member, respectively. Each panel includes a peripheral frame (that is shaped to provide the tongue and groove members), opposed steel side faces mounted to the peripheral frame, and an insulation block filling an interior space delimited by the peripheral frame and the opposed steel side faces. The insulation block includes a pair of insulating material layers that sandwich a radiant barrier layer. A floor module supports a bottom edge of the panel and an interface module supports a side/top edge of the panel. The floor/interface modules are configured with telescoping sections and are length trimmable.

Abstract

A wall for partitioning space within a building comprises interconnected barriers. For adjustable height, each barrier comprises a lower panel and a slidable and overlapping upper panel. Barriers are interconnected at vertical edges by a combination of rigid pins and slots or by hinge assemblies. Mating male and female parts of a hinge assembly attach to both panels of adjacent barriers with adjustable heights, and enable selective angling of barriers relative to each other. A filler barrier, for filling a space along a wall that is less or more wide than a standard width barrier, has sliding inter-nested frame parts that attach to the two panels of a standard barrier. A clip secures the top of a barrier to the grid of a suspended ceiling.
