Claim 1
Independent Claim
121 words
A demountable wall partition system comprising: elongated base means for resting on a floor to provide bottom support for a series of partition members; a plurality of upright partition members for mounting in series on said base means; and coupling means between adjacent partition members for releasably securing said partition members in series, said coupling means for adjacent partition members including first connector means on adjacent ends of said adjacent partition members and extending outwardly and upwardly therefrom, and a connector strip having second connector means extending outwardly and downwardly from opposite sides thereof for releasably mating with said first connector means as said connector strip is lowered toward said base means between said adjacent ends of said adjacent partition members.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
121 words
A demountable wall partition system comprising: elongated base means for resting on a floor to provide bottom support for a series of partition members; a plurality of upright partition members for mounting in series on said base means; and coupling means between adjacent partition members for releasably securing said partition members in series, said coupling means for adjacent partition members including first connector means on adjacent ends of said adjacent partition members and extending outwardly and upwardly therefrom, and a connector strip having second connector means extending outwardly and downwardly from opposite sides thereof for releasably mating with said first connector means as said connector strip is lowered toward said base means between said adjacent ends of said adjacent partition members.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
79 words
The partition system of claim 1 wherein said connector strip is an elongated vertical member having flat opposing sides and a width transverse to said base means greater than a width of said base means whereby in said partition system said connector strip extends outwardly beyond said base means in a direction substantially normal thereto to permit driving of said connector strip upwardly as by striking a lower end with a mallet during a dismantling of said partition system.
