Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 14
Claim 1
Independent Claim
165 words
A displaceable partition, especially for business and office buildings and factories, which includes: first and second board means arranged in spaced substantially parallel relationship to each other, supporting post means arranged between and extending in the direction of the height of said first and second board means, said post means having profiled portions extending in the longitudinal direction of said post means, resilient connecting means arranged on and connected to the inside of said first and second board means and detachably snapped onto said profiled portions of said post means, adjacent first board means and adjacent second board means in the longitudinal direction of said partition being separated from each other by a first gap and a second gap respectively within the area of said supporting post means, and first and second cover strip means respectively substantially filling said first and second gap and provided with resilient snap means detachably snapping onto the respective adjacent resilient connecting means of said first and second board means.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
165 words
A displaceable partition, especially for business and office buildings and factories, which includes: first and second board means arranged in spaced substantially parallel relationship to each other, supporting post means arranged between and extending in the direction of the height of said first and second board means, said post means having profiled portions extending in the longitudinal direction of said post means, resilient connecting means arranged on and connected to the inside of said first and second board means and detachably snapped onto said profiled portions of said post means, adjacent first board means and adjacent second board means in the longitudinal direction of said partition being separated from each other by a first gap and a second gap respectively within the area of said supporting post means, and first and second cover strip means respectively substantially filling said first and second gap and provided with resilient snap means detachably snapping onto the respective adjacent resilient connecting means of said first and second board means.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
27 words
A partition according to claim 1, in which said resilient connecting means and said profiled portions extend at least over the major length of said post means.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
24 words
