ABSTRACT:
A number of modular office screens are assembled to provide movable sound-absorbing partitions for offices and the like. Each office screen includes a modular sound-absorbing panel comprised of a rigid sound-reflecting core, a separate compressible layer of fibrous material on each side of the core for absorbing and dissipating sound energy coming from opposite sides of the core, and a channel-shaped frame extending around the perimeter of the panel. The sound-absorbing panel is slidably mounted in the channel-shaped frame and releasably held in the frame without the aid of tools or fasteners. A number of such screens are interconnected in various floor plan configurations also without requiring tools or fasteners, by releasably mounting the bottom portions of the frames in fixed upright channel-shaped base members adapted to rest on the floor and arranged in the desired floor plan configuration for each junction of two or more screens. The top portions of the screens are held together by releasable clip members frictionally engaged with adjoining portions of the frames, and by channel-shaped cover plates releasably fitted over one or more of the clips and bridging the interface of adjoining frames for holding the screens in their desired configuration and for preventing relative movement between the tops of the screens.
