Abstract: Elements for a modular system for the assembling of furniture, containers, partitions or the like, that consists of polygonal panels and bracing elements for a flat or spatial connection of single panels. Each of the panel elements (10) has several cut-out sections (12) in its borders (11). In each of the cut-out sections (12) there is inserted a rod (13) running essentially in the same direction as the border. Each of the bracing elements has the shape of a clamp (20) which can be inserted into the cut-out sections of adjoining panel elements (10) and whose rods (13) are shaped for gripping, preferably to establish a drop-in connection (FIG. 1).

Abstract: A room divider composed of individual room divider elements which are adapted to be fastened to one another by means of fastening members is disclosed. Each room divider element is made up of a tubular hollow member (11, 12), a tubular supporting member (14, 15) located in the interior of said hollow member, and of flange members (13) which are fastened to the ends of hollow member and supporting member at the top and at the bottom thereof. The fastening members (18) consist of two clamp portions (19, 20) embracing the supporting members (14, 15). The clamps are preferably connected by crank-shaped connecting piece (18) which offsets said clamp portions (19, 20).
