Abstract

Abstract A wall capable of rapid assembly and dismantling is disclosed, which includes a plurality of detachable boards, each of which are connected to at least one other of such detachable boards on an adjacent facing side. Coupling elements for connecting each of the plurality of detachable boards to another of such board are included, each of which permit at least a part of the facing sides of the plurality of detachable boards, which extend in a vertical direction, an infinitely variable swiveling action about an axis extending parallel to the facing sides of the plurality of detachable boards. The coupling elements extend perpendicularly to a swiveling axis and in the direction of the swiveling axis and are fastened edgeways laying flat to each of two detachable boards which are adjacent one another. The coupling elements act as a spacing piece along the facing side of each of the detachable boards and extend perpendicular to the swiveling axis. Preferably, the coupling elements are a plurality of hinges being attached to the detachable boards with fastening elements, with each of the hinges having two legs which are movable about an axis defining the swiveling axis of the detachable boards. The plurality of hinges are made detachable, but are otherwise rigidly fixed to an edge of each of two detachable boards.
