Partition or barrier system

Abstract

Disclosed is a T-block attachment with a magnetized bolt for (first) securing a plastic sheet or curtain to the mount and (second) securing the mount to a metallic grid of a paneled sealing where securing a plastic sheet or curtain to the T-block is accomplished via puncturing the plastic sheet or curtain with a bolt of a magnetized bolt and then coupling the bolt to a bolt receptacle of the T-block partition mount such that the plastic sheet or curtain is sandwiched between an arm of the T-block and a magnet of the magnetized bolt.

I claim: 
     
         1 . A T-block with a magnetized bolt that (first) secures a plastic sheet or curtain to the mount and (second) secures the mount to a metallic grid of a paneled sealing, where securing a plastic sheet or curtain to the T-block is accomplished via puncturing the plastic sheet or curtain with a bolt of a magnetized bolt and then coupling the bolt to a bolt receptacle of the T-block partition mount such that the plastic sheet or curtain is sandwiched between an arm of the T-block and a magnet of the magnetized bolt. 
     
     
         2 . The T-block of  claim 1  wherein the T-block features a stem. 
     
     
         3 . The T-block of  claim 2  wherein the stem includes a pole receptacle. 
     
     
         4 . The T-block of  claim 3  wherein the pole receptacle is threaded. 
     
     
         5 . The T-block of  claim 4  where the pole receptacle is coupled to a socket attachment. 
     
     
         6 . The T-bock of  claim 5  wherein the socket attachment is coupled to a ball joint of a pole. 
     
     
         7 . A method of establishing a partition comprising the steps of:
 coupling a pole or other extendable pole to a stem of a T-block partition mount;   securing a plastic sheet or curtain to the T-block partition mount via puncturing the plastic sheet or curtain with a bolt of a magnet bolt and then coupling the bolt to a bolt receptacle of the T-block partition mount such that the plastic sheet or curtain is sandwiched between an arm of the T-block partition mount and a magnet of the magnetic bolt;   securing the T-block partition mount to a metallic structure of a ceiling such that the pole is extended downward from the ceiling while the plastic sheet or curtain is secured adjacent to the ceiling via the magnet of the magnetic bolt; and,   uncoupling the pole or other extendable pole from the stem of the T-block partition mount while the plastic sheet or curtain remains secured adjacent to the ceiling via the magnets of the mount.   
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 7  where the pole or other extendable pole features a threaded tip for coupling to threads of the T-block partition. 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 8  where the threaded tip is defined by a socket attachment secured to a ball joint of the pole or other extendable pole. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 8  where the socket attachment is secured to the ball joint of the pole or other extendable pole via a snap fit. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 8  where the socket attachment is secured to the ball joint of the pole or other extendable pole via a sandwich fit 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 7  further comprising the step of securing a wire to the T-block partition mount via a clip that was secured to a clip receptacle. 
     
     
         13 . A method of establishing a partition comprising the steps of:
 coupling a pole or other extendable pole the stem of a T-block partition mount via the threads of a threaded tip that is coupled to the pole with a ball-and-socket joint;   securing a plastic sheet or curtain to the T-block partition mount via puncturing the sheet material with a bolt of a magnet bolt and then coupling the bolt to a bolt receptacle of the T-block partition mount such that the sheet material is sandwiched between an arm of the T-block partition mount and a magnet of the magnetic bolt; and,   securing the T-block partition mount to a metallic structure of a ceiling such that the pole is extended downward from the ceiling while the plastic sheet or curtain is secured adjacent to the ceiling via the magnet of the magnetic bolt; and,   uncoupling the pole or other extendable pole from the T-block partition mount while the plastic sheet or curtain remains secured adjacent to the ceiling via the magnets of the mount.   
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 10  wherein the step of uncoupling the pole or other extendable pole from the T-block partition mount is accomplished by unthreading the threaded tip from the threads of the stem. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 10  wherein the step of uncoupling the pole or other extendable pole from the T-block partition mount is accomplished by disconnecting the ball and socket joint.
