ABSTRACT:
A modular wall assembly system includes a hinge assembly for connecting modular panels. The panels each have a channel member formed or recessed in a vertical edge. The hinge assembly includes a first hinge plate and a second hinge plate which are connected by an elastomeric member. Each hinge plate has a pair of projecting flanges which slidably engage the channel member. The channel member may have enlarged openings to permit insertion of the projecting flanges intermediate the ends of the channel member. The hinge assembly has two pivot points which are variable due to the elasticity of the elastomeric member. The elastomeric member allows the panels to move angularly and laterally with respect to one another.
