ABSTRACT:
A rapidly erectable, removable, reusable, and raisable acoustical wall system is provided that comprises a plurality of wall panels, each of which has opposing side edges which include a front edge and a back edge, a plurality of panel support posts having pairs of parallel flanges for receiving the side edges of the wall panels to form a wall, and a plurality of wedging members for forcefully securing the front side edges of the panels into an acoustically-obstructing engagement with the front flanges of the panel support posts. Wedge-receiving recesses are provided at the top and bottom of each of the back side edges of the panels, the top recesses of one panel being registrable with the bottom recesses of another panel when two panels are stacked between the same support posts. Each wedging member is about the shine length as two aligned wedge-receiving recesses so that a single wedging member may be used to forcefully engage the front side edges of two different panels against the front flanges of their respective support posts. In the apparatus of the invention, the erection of the walls is expedited by the wedging members, which function to forcefully engage the bottom half of a wall panel into acoustically-obstructing engagement with its respective support post simply by the act of stacking one wall panel over another. Additionally, the resulting wall may be easily raised at another location by mounting extension members on the tops of the support posts, and sliding additional wall panels between the heightened posts.
