  • Patent number: 5406761
    Abstract: A room partition is made of wall elements, which can be moved and be brought in tight contact, with their vertical front sides, with each other, and with locking elements. The wall elements are movable with the aid of suspension assemblies along a first track (10) and at least along a second track (4), whereby the first track (10) branches from the second track (4), and whereby with the first track (10), along which it can move, is associated a conveying mechanism (12) to which are attached catches (30) that, for the transportation of a wall element along the first track (10) can be brought in detachable engagement with its suspension assemblies. For transition of a wall element between the first and the second track (10,4), each catch (30) can be swung toward or away from a suspension assembly (6) of the wall element present in the branch point (34), in order to be engaged with or detached from this suspension assembly.
