ABSTRACT:
A partition which can be used in offices or like establishments has a row of neighboring upright rod-shaped sound-absorbing components with transversely extending openings for several flexible strip- or band-shaped metallic coupling elements in the form of leaf springs which enable the partition to be flexed so that the components are located in a common plane or together form a U-shaped, S-shaped, L-shaped or a like panel. The end portions of the flexible coupling elements are secured to the corresponding outer components, and the securing means can be provided with devices for coupling the partition to an adjacent partition. Certain rod-shaped components carry legs which are weighted and have roughened floor-contacting surfaces so as to reduce the likelihood of unintentional slippage of the feet relative to the floor, particularly when the rod-shaped components are not disposed in a common plane. The neighboring components can be assembled in partly compressed condition so as to tension the flexible coupling elements.
