DESCRIPTION:
BRIEF SUMMARY
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The invention is directed to a dividing wall, particularly for exposition halls, which can be assembled from a plurality of rectangular, inherently rigid wall elements which are detachably connectable with one another by coupling members, and a frame which is formed by different section rails and is filled by at least one panel, the frame sides being connected with one another via separate corner pieces, wherein the panels of the individual wall elements are constructed as lightweight construction elements which are anchored to the frame and comprise two cover panels or plates.
A dividing wall system of the type mentioned above, which comprises self-supporting or structural supporting wall elements, has already been suggested (DE-A-34 44 521). Panels are also known from EP-A-247 955; these panels comprise two cover plates arranged at a distance from one another and coupled with one another partly by corner pieces and partly by frame sides, but their stability is limited by the frame construction.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The invention has the object of constructing a dividing wall of the type named in the beginning in such a way that its wall elements have a smaller weight by volume than previously and have great stability and can be assembled faster to form a dividing wall and can also be more quickly detached from one another again.
The proposed object is met with a dividing wall of the above-mentioned type, which, according to the invention, is provided with panels constructed with at least one inner plate which is spaced from the cover plates and is suitable for anchoring holding members, such as nails or screws, and the intermediate space between the inner plate and cover plates is provided with a lightweight, but stiffening, honeycomb filling, and at least the vertical frame sides of the frame of the wall elements are provided on their outer front side with an external groove or an external spring pin which fits into the latter and has a conical cross section. The vertical frame sides have outer lateral contact faces for the edge areas of the two cover plates of the panel and at least one shoulder surface interiorly for the inner plate of the panel. The inner plate can advisably be formed from a micro-chipboard.
Very light fillings of the wall elements, in which nails or screws can nevertheless be anchored with sufficient strength against removal, can be achieved by means of the special design of the panel. The frame of the wall elements can also be constructed in turn so as to be relatively lightweight, e.g. from extrusion-molded section rail portions of light metal or a plastics material, by means of this light and rigid filling.
The vertical frame sides are integrated with the wall filling in a regular manner by means of the cover plates which rest against the vertical frame sides on the outer lateral contact faces by their edge region and are e.g. securely glued together, as well as by means of gluing the edge of the inner plate with the inside shoulder surface of the vertical frame. The external grooves and external spring pins of the vertical frame sides fit into one another with their conical cross sections so that an accurate centering of adjacent wall elements is effected. Edge stops provided on the outer front side can ensure an accurate optional, particularly very small spacing between adjacent wall elements. The external spring pin of the vertical frame sides can be constructed advantageously so as to be hollow for the purpose of economizing on weight and for running internal lines. In a dividing wall constructed according to the invention, the horizontal frame sides of the wall frame can have a gutter-shaped cross section with gutter openings in the outer front side having opposing horizontal lips. They can also be integrated in the wall filling in a regular manner as described above in connection with the vertical frame sides. The gutter-shaped cross section with the opposing horizontal lips favors the anchoring of fastening elements for optional added pa
