Definitions

  • the invention relates to a folding wall mainly comprising a double row of panels foldable in zigzag fashion by means of hinges.
  • the invention has for its object to improve the folding wall in a manner such that in the stretched state the panels lie in co-planar positions with the aid of simple means which, at the same time, facilitate folding of the wall.
  • the invention has furthermore for its object to provide a folding wall which reduces transport and mounting costs by its modular structure.
  • the folding wall according to the invention is distinguished in that at least two panels being in opposite positions in the rows are pivotally interconnected by a coupling piece having two relatively spaced supporting members, whilst two blades of resilient material slidable between two supporting members are each fastened to an inner side of a panel.
  • opening of the folding wall is facilitated because a lever is connected at a distance from the supporting members by means of a hinge with the coupling piece.
  • the proximal sides of the spring blades are preferably coated with a layer of rough material to avoid slip between the spring blades and to ensure uniform flattening of the panels.
  • the folding wall of the kind set forth in the preamble is furthermore characterized in that every four panels and two head strips are combined to form a hollow module, the head strips being provided with means for fastening the strips to one another.
  • the coupling piece mentioned above is preferably formed by a head strip of a module.
  • the latter are formed by rollers arranged, in the modular structure of the wall, in two opposite sides of an opening in the head strips.
  • a simple construction and an effective sound-proof assembly are obtained in that inter alia the panels and head strips are interconnected at the longitudinal edges by uninterrupted hinge profiles of synthetic resin.
  • the folding wall shown in the Figures is composed of modules each consisting of two opposite pairs of relatively pivotable panels 1, the hinge being formed by a synthetic-resin strip along the edges thereof (see, in particular, fig. 5). By other longitudinal edges the panels 1 are connected through a pivotal strip 3 with head strips 4 in a manner such that each module forms a hollow structure. Each module is suspended by a runner system fastened to the top side of each head strip 4 to a rail 5 along the top edge of a passage between two rooms.
  • the modules can be fastened to one another with the aid of the head strips 4, for which purpose they are provided with fastening means.
  • Fig. 5 shows that the head strips 4 have a square hole 6 for passing a tool 7 and a tapped hole 8 are alternately off-set in the head strips 4 so that when one module is mounted by means of the foremost head strip, the hindmost can be fastened to the foremost head strip of the adjacent module.
  • the head strips 4 have furthermore an opening 10, which openings are in register after mounting (see fig.2) Through these openings are passed two blade springs 11, one end 12 of which is fastened to the inner side of the adjacent panels 1.
  • the spring blades 11 are provided on their proximal sides with a coating of rough material 13, which may have a ridge profile in order to avoid slip between the two spring blades 11.
  • the spring blades are supported by supporting members 13 in the form of rollers, the distance between the supporting members 13 being such that the spring blades 11 contact with one another at point A.
  • a cam 14 which prevents the spring blades from snapping from between the supporting members when the panels 1 are in the folded position.
  • a lever 15 is secured to the.head strip 4 by means of a hinge 16.
  • a pressing head 17 is fastened to the lever 15.
  • the folding wall according to the invention can be actuated as follows.
  • the invention is not limited to the embodiment described above.
  • the flattening stretching design by means of the resilient blades 11 may as well be used in another construction than that having the above-described module structure.
