ABSTRACT:
Partitions formed of edgewise connected panels have not historically had the capability of following vertical curves as required by naturally rolling terrain. My self-supporting edgewise connected partition formed of substantially triangular shaped panels (10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22 and 24) has the capability to simultaneously follow a straight or curved vertical alignment and a straight or curved horizontal alignment in any combination. Both the flexibility of the partition and its ability to support itself result from it being formed of a plurality of two differently shaped panels (10 and 12). The panels are shaped in such a way that, when their abutting edges are joined, the lower edges cross back and forth across the alignment (be it straight or curved) defined by upper edges. The amount that the two sets of panels differ in shape determines the furthest amount that the lower edges deviate from the alignment of the upper edges thus affecting the stability of the partition and its flexibility to follow vertical curves.
