In general, the division of larger rooms using building panels, blockboard, etc. is becoming more or less solid construction completed.

It is also known to carry out the division of a large room in a shelf design, the partition wall in can be used in a practical way to accommodate all types of storage material.

Finally, the so-called "Spanish Wall" is also there can also be used as a room divider. These from individual Wall that is hinged to one another and is of equal size can be folded up to save space if necessary will.

The object of the invention is to create a universally usable wall that meets both the requirements of a fast feasible as well as demountable room layout and a use as a goods carrier will; such a mobile wall should be optional

be dimensionable and have any construction course can.

This object is achieved by the invention specified in the main claim.

The subclaims point out advantageous developments of the solution according to the invention.

As a result of such a structure, one can optionally be used as a room divider and / or goods carrier, ie Universal application wall created. As. The main area of application is primarily shopfitting to watch. This wall can also be used advantageously for apartment, office and storage facilities. So through the optional assignment of further wall elements, taking into account the usual room dimensions, any construction heights can be achieved. The realized chain-like arrangement of the wall elements allows for any length of construction. Even there are advantageous possibilities with regard to the construction process. Using the shortest possible wall

elements, any radii can be achieved. An angular deflection is also possible. The gap-like interlocking of the eyes brings not only stabilizing advantages but also those of an optical kind. The transition of the Elements appears to be free of breakthroughs. Draw openings, wide Light gaps are avoided. The standing columns extending over the entire height of such a wall fulfill one Dual purpose: On the one hand, by tying the elements together, they promote the stability of the wall and on the other hand, they form the hinge axis of the wall elements that can be folded over with respect to one another. With free-standing arrangement and straight, it is advantageous if the upright columns are provided with protruding foot stiles. The practiced vertical alignment of the columns offers the advantageous possibility of application a plug connection between these pillars and the foot rails. The structural measure that the area around the column extending ring surface of the foot has a larger outer diameter than the protrusion of the local eye, it enables a secure support of the end wall element also in the area of the tooth gaps given is. Otherwise, foot stiles are dispensed with, and

- 5 - 14 513/514 November 8, 1971

If a straight wall is striven for, the vertical column can be assigned a length-adjustable tensioning support that is assigned either to the floor or to the ceiling of the wall to be formed. Such ^l tension supports also give the possibility of fine pitching, while rough adjustment to the height of the room is easily possible due to the multi-part construction of the upright columns, just as the wall height is adjusted to the height of the room by stacking the elements.

For reasons of stability, noise insulation, etc. can each element be double-walled. Its interior is preferably under by way of a foaming process Use filled in, for example, polyurethane. Basically It is also possible to make the wall elements solid or to fold them from flat material. When using double walls, it is advantageous if the eye opening is smaller than the thickness of the element Has cross-section, so that the advantageous possibility of using a lining of this eye opening in the event that strong stress on the joints is to be expected. It is also an advantage if

the front edge of the eyes runs in a convex arc. The structural measure, the eyes of the elements with the same material Forming them on leads to an economical manufacturing process for the individual elements, with high inherent stability of the same. It is also used not only for stabilization reasons, but at the same time to expand the application purpose the structural measure, at least one broad side of the Evenly distributed element with recesses for hooking up brackets, support boards or the like equip. One that leads to ribbing Material deformation particularly favors the surface stability of the elements and thus of the entire wall, so that also heavier or relatively highly resilient goods carriers un-. can be hung in problematical manner. Here is an embodiment used, in which the individual element according to the meandering structure of its wall on both broad sides has horizontally extending depressions, there is basically the possibility of turning this element. The consoles, support boards or the like can also be designed to match the respective wall profile. Above all, this makes it possible to achieve storage that can be continued at the same height. The corresponding gussets prevent the wall, for example by accidentally knocking it against

309824/0471

- 7 - 14 513/514 November 8, 1971

standing arrangement changes its course, since these gussets practically exercise a self-locking function. The interchangeability, also enabled additions, combination options, Adaptation to high load capacities as well as mobility and any dimensioning make this wall a component that can be used with advantage in many fields.
