ABSTRACT:
A hinge and rail connection system for joining wall panels. The system includes a flexible hinge and a rail assembly, the flexible hinge having channels for receiving complementary flanges on rails which are coupled to the wall panels. The hinge includes a pair of pivotal hinge members which can be articulated about a vertical axis at any selective angular relationship to form office partitions having a near infinite variety of shapes and layouts. Additionally, the design of the connection system provide enhanced aesthetics by eliminating the mechanical appearance of hang-on support bracket slots located in the rails.
