Abstract
A combinative partition includes at least two panels, a corner element, and a connector. Each panel includes a top cover installed thereon and a vertical edge element secured thereto. The corner element connects the top cover with the vertical edge element of each of the panels. The connector is connected with each of the corner elements in a non-pivotal manner so that the panels are kept at desired angles from one another.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modified1 . A combinative partition comprising:
at least two panels comprising a top cover installed thereon and a vertical edge element secured thereto; a corner element for connecting the top cover with the vertical edge element of each of the panels; and a connector connected with each of the corner elements in a non-pivotal manner so that the panels are kept at desired angles from one another.
2 . The combinative partition according to claim 1 wherein each of the corner elements comprises a block, wherein the connector comprises a central portion and at least two terminal portions extending from the central portion, wherein each of the terminal portions of the connector is installed on the block of the corner element.
3 . The combinative partition according to claim 2 wherein the block of each of the corner elements comprises a plateau formed thereon, wherein each of the terminal portions of the connector defines a cutout for receiving the plateau.
4 . The combinative partition according to claim 3 wherein the plateau defines an aperture, wherein the vertical edge element defines a screw hole therein for receiving a screw through the aperture.
5 . The combinative partition according to claim 2 wherein the block of each of the corner elements comprises a boss formed thereon, wherein each of the terminal portions of the connector defines an aperture for receiving the boss so that the block of each of the corner elements is precisely positioned on each of the terminal portions of the connector.
6 . The combinative partition according to claim 2 wherein each of the terminal portions of the connector defines an aperture, wherein the block of each of the corner elements defines a screw hole for receiving a screw through the aperture of each of the terminal portions of the connector.
7 . The combinative partition according to claim 2 comprising a corner cover for covering each of the terminal portions of the connector.
8 . The combinative partition according to claim 7 wherein the corner cover comprises at least one plug projecting from a lower side thereof, wherein the connector defines at least one aperture for receiving the plug.
9 . The combinative partition according to claim 8 wherein the block of each of the corner element defines at least one hole for receiving the plug.
10 . The combinative partition according to claim 2 comprising a seam element connected with the vertical edge elements.
11 . The combinative partition according to claim 10 comprising a ligament for connecting each of the vertical edge elements with the seam element.
12 . The combinative partition according to claim 11 wherein each of the vertical edge elements defines a groove, wherein the seam element defines at least two grooves, wherein the ligament comprises a first enlarged portion fit in the groove of each of the vertical edge elements and a second enlarged portion fit in one of the grooves of the seam element.
13 . The combinative partition according to claim 12 wherein each of the corner elements defines a groove for receiving the first enlarged portion of the ligament.
14 . The combinative partition according to claim 1 3 comprising a corner cover for covering each of the terminal portions of the connector.
15 . The combinative partition according to claim 14 wherein each of the terminal portions of the connector defines a slot, wherein the corner cover comprises at least one plug fit into the groove of each of the corner elements through the slot of each of the terminal portions of the connector.
16 . The combinative partition according to claim 8 wherein the block of each of the corner element defines at least one hole for receiving the plug.
17 . The combinative partition according to claim 2 wherein the corner element comprises a horizontal insert inserted into the top cover from the block.
18 . The combinative partition according to claim 17 wherein the horizontal insert defines at least one screw hole for receiving a screw driven through the top cover.
19 . The combinative partition according to claim 2 wherein the corner element comprises a vertical insert inserted into the vertical edge element from the block.Cited by (0)
