Abstract
Abstract A portable wall partition adapted to subdivide floor space into optionally adjustably-sized privacy modules. The wall partition has a free-standing upright frame which substantially defines the shape of the partition. Disposed on either side of the frame is a layer of acoustic barrier material. The partition is enveloped in an aesthetic flexible covering. Demountable feet support the partition upon the floor.

Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
147 words
A portable wall partition adapted to subdivide a floor space into optionally adjustably sized privacy modules and further adapted to provide an aesthetic appearance to said privacy modules; said wall partition comprising: a. an upright rigid metallic frame including: 1. a perimeter member substantially defining the shape of said partition 2. elongate bracing members extending between spaced points of said perimeter member and lying substantially within the plane thereof; b. a non-metallic encasement perimetrically disposed about said perimeter member; c. a substantially rigid substrate disposed on either side of said frame and secured to said encasement; d. an acoustical substrata positioned against each said substrate; said substrate being substantially congruent with said encasement; e. a flexible covering superposed over each said acoustical substrata and secured at the perimeter thereof to said encasement; and f. means depending from said frame to support said wall partition upon said floor.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
