Abstract
Abstract A supporting frame includes vertical support elements and transverse support elements with polygonal cross-sections. The elements and members have longitudinal edges disposed within the interior of the supporting frame to provide a supporting surface along at least a portion of the surfaces of said elements or members facing the interior of the frame. Enclosing wall elements include bearing surfaces which conform to the shape of the supporting surfaces so that the wall elements may be located in a predetermined position on the supporting frame. Positioning means may be provided to hold the enclosing wall elements against the supporting surfaces. Specific types of holding mechanisms are provided in various embodiments.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
90 words
In a supporting frame having vertical support elements and transverse support members with polygonal cross-sections, the combination comprising: a. said elements and members having longitudinal edges disposed within the interior of the supporting frame to provide a supporting surface along at least a portion of the surfaces of said elements or members facing the interior of the frame, b. enclosing wall elements having bearing surfaces to conform to the shape of the supporting surfaces so that the wall elements may be located in a predetermined disposition on the supporting frame.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
90 words
In a supporting frame having vertical support elements and transverse support members with polygonal cross-sections, the combination comprising: a. said elements and members having longitudinal edges disposed within the interior of the supporting frame to provide a supporting surface along at least a portion of the surfaces of said elements or members facing the interior of the frame, b. enclosing wall elements having bearing surfaces to conform to the shape of the supporting surfaces so that the wall elements may be located in a predetermined disposition on the supporting frame.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
23 words
A supporting frame as defined in claim 1 wherein positioning means are provided to hold the enclosing wall elements against the supporting surfaces.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
68 words
A supporting frame as defined in claim 2 wherein said positioning means includes at least one clamping element to hold a wall enclosing element against a supporting surface, said clamping element is formed as a part of the wall enclosing element, said clamping element being resiliently disposed along the edge of the wall enclosing element to removably engage either a vertical support element or a transverse support member.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
52 words
A supporting frame as defined in claim 3 wherein at least one of the enclosing wall elements includes at least one clamping element disposed along two opposing edges of the wall element so that the wall element may be engaged with the supporting surfaces of the said vertical or transverse support members.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
65 words
A supporting frame as defined in claim 1 wherein said polygonally shaped elements and members have at least three sides with the axis of symmetry of the profile thereof passing through a profile edge directed toward the interior of the frame so that at least one of the profile surfaces abutting against said profile edge serves as a supporting surface for an enclosing wall element.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
50 words
A supporting frame as defined in claim 1 wherein supporting surfaces are disposed on at least two opposite sides of the frame material to abut against an enclosing wall element, each enclosing wall abutting surface being inclined at substantially the same angle as the supporting surface against which it abuts.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
30 words
A supporting frame as defined in claim 1 wherein said positioning means includes a holding means that connects the supporting surface with the abutting surface of the enclosing wall element.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
17 words
A supporting frame as defined in claim 7 wherein said holding means is a removable adhesive agent.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
29 words
A supporting frame as defined in claim 7 wherein said holding means includes at least one clamping element to removably hold a wall enclosing element against a supporting surface.
