  • Patent number: 8763335
    Abstract: A wainscoting system for covering a portion of a wall, wherein the wainscoting system includes a lower rail secured to the wall, a chair rail assembly attached to the wall and spaced apart from the lower rail, a plurality of decorative panels extending between the lower rail and chair rail assembly, and a batten positioned adjacent decorative panels. The batten includes a compound tongue formed into a first side edge thereof and a compound tongue formed into an opposing second side edge thereof. Each decorative panel includes a compound tongue formed into a first side edge thereof and a compound groove formed into an opposing second side edge thereof. The compound tongue of each decorative panel corresponds and is engageable with the compound groove of the batten, and the compound groove of each decorative panel corresponds and is engageable with the compound tongue of the batten.

  • Publication number: 20130326987
    Abstract: A wall panel system that includes a plurality of rails positioned substantially parallel to each other, a plurality of panels wherein each panel extends between two adjacent rails, and a cross spline is positioned between each pair of panels and extending substantially perpendicular to adjacent rails is provided. The rails are attachable to a wall support structure. The rails receive the panels and maintain the panels in a spaced-apart relationship. Each panel includes a peripheral edge having a groove formed into the peripheral edge such that the groove is continuous and extends about the entire peripheral edge of the panel. Both the rails and the cross spline include a tongue that is insertable into the groove of each panel to allow the rails and cross splines to be in engagement with the panels.

  • Patent number: 8322102
    Abstract: A modular wall system 10 includes a number of decorative panels that are received in an extruded panel frame 22. The panel frames 22 are positioned by connecting them to a wall rail 16 that is attached to the building. The wall rail 16 and the panel frame 22 each have a groove 52, 62 that accepts a fastener or clip 18 by interference or snap fit to attach the panel frame 22 to the wall rail 16. The grooves 52, 62 have a dove-tail shape that permits a snap fit to secure the panels 12 yet permit the panels to be easily removed or reconfigured.
