Partition wall and clip for removably joining a panel to a support element for forming a partition wall

Abstract

A partition wall comprising a panel with a first side edge and a second side edge, a first upright and a second upright is described, wherein the panel is fastened to the first upright and to the second upright along, respectively, the first side edge and the second side edge, wherein each upright comprises a longitudinal groove configured to receive, at least partially, the first longitudinal edge or the second longitudinal edge of the panel, and wherein each side edge further comprises a fastening member configured to assume a penetration configuration for penetrating inside the groove and a retaining position for retaining the side edge of the panel inside the groove.

1 . A partition wall comprising a panel with a first side edge and a second lateral side, a first upright and a second upright,
 wherein the panel is fastened to the first upright along the first side edge and to the second upright along the second side edge,   wherein each upright comprises a longitudinal groove configured to receive, at least partially, the first longitudinal edge or the second longitudinal edge of the panel,   wherein each side edge further comprises a fastening member configured to assume a penetration configuration for penetrating inside the groove and a retaining configuration for retaining the side edge of the panel inside the groove,   wherein the fastening member comprises a U-shaped clip with a bottom and two side walls,   
       wherein each side wall comprises a tab elastically protruding outwards, and
 wherein the groove comprises an opening, a bottom and two side walls, wherein the opening comprises two longitudinal teeth situated opposite each other along at least part of the length of the upright, the two longitudinal teeth being configured to retain the tabs of the clip. 
 
     
     
         2 . The partition wall of  claim 1 , wherein the tab opens towards the outside of the U-shaped channel in the direction from the bottom towards the free ends of the side walls, wherein the tab is configured to retract and be seated inside a window in the side wall of the clip. 
     
     
         3 . The partition wall of  claim 1 , wherein the fastening member comprises a gripping member, for example in the form of two pointed claws, for gripping the panel and firmly locking the fastening member to the panel. 
     
     
         4 . The partition wall of  claim 3 , wherein the gripping member is configured to engage with two opposite faces of the edge of the panel. 
     
     
         5 . The partition wall of  claim 4 , wherein the opening of the groove comprises at least one cut-out, without longitudinal teeth, for facilitating the separation of the panel from the upright. 
     
     
         6 . The partition wall according to  claim 1 , wherein the panel comprises a wooden material, or a thermoplastic material, or a cellulose or cardboard-based material, or a composite material. 
     
     
         7 . The partition wall according to  claim 1 , wherein the panel comprises, or essentially consists of, a sound-absorbing material, for example polyester. 
     
     
         8 . The partition wall according to  claim 1 , further comprising a support base for at least one upright. 
     
     
         9 . The partition wall of  claim 8 , further comprising a first aligner, interposed between the base and the upright, for establishing at least a predetermined relative position of the support base and the upright. 
     
     
         10 . The partition wall according to  claim 8 , further comprising a second aligner configured to engage with the groove and to support a top or bottom edge of the pane. 
     
     
         11 . The partition wall according to  claim 8 , wherein the base comprises a first half-base and a second half-base and also a third aligner interposed between the first half-base and the second half-base and configured to establish a predetermined relative configuration of the first half-base and the second half-base. 
     
     
         12 . A clip configured to connect an edge of a panel to a support member which has a groove for receiving one or more clips, wherein the clip comprises a bottom surface and two side walls, wherein each side wall of the clip comprises a tab elastically protruding outwards and configured to retract and be seated inside a window in the side wall of the clip. 
     
     
         13 . The clip of  claim 12 , wherein each of the two side walls terminates in a gripping member configured to penetrate into the edge of the panel when the clip is joined to the edge of the panel.
