Abstract: The specification discloses a prefabricated partition arrangement for fitting rooms and the like, comprising a pair of parallel, laterally spaced side panels having rearward edges thereof fastened to an interior wall of a building by a first pair of channels. A front panel with a door therein extends between the forward edges of the side panels and is connected therewith by a second pair of channels, thereby forming a sturdy, postless partition assembly.

Abstract: The specification discloses a prefabricated wall system providing a wall frame to which plastering or a covering of dry wall sheeting may be applied. The system includes a series of wall frame sections, preferably formed from steel channel members, which sections are spaced apart and supported therebetween by channel spacers having stop means which abut the sections. Each wall frame section has vertical studs secured at top and bottom by horizontal stringers. The stringers may include an elongated slot extending for their complete length to admit utility connections within the wall and to allow cutting and telescoping of the stringers for shortening the wall section. Concealed, slotted channels may be secured to the studs intermediate the edges of the sheet covering material to provide support for shelving along the finished walls.

Abstract: The specification discloses a partition system for subdividing large rooms or work areas wherein shelving support apparatus may be selectively incorporated between or at the ends or sides of the individual panels without physical modification or alteration of the panels. The panel connection apparatus includes spaced apertures which are used alternately with securing fasteners depending on the inclusion or removal of the slotted or other shelf supports. The outward appearance of the panels themselves remains unchanged regardless of whether or not the shelf supports are included. If desired, the system may include a panel wedging system for firm, secure support such as that disclosed in commonly assigned U.S. Pat. No. 3,884,002.

Abstract: A panel unit and panel assembly wherein a panel, of the type useful for partitioning a room into smaller areas, is joined to another along abutting surfaces which are substantially exactly aligned with one another. Each panel includes an aperture in its abutting surface for receiving a connecting pin. Each aperture is offset toward one of the panel side surfaces of its panel a distance equal to one-half the difference in width or diameter between the pin and receiving apertures. When the connecting pin is secured in the apertures, the abutting panel surfaces are aligned regardless of whether the said one panel surfaces toward which the apertures are respectively offset are on the same or opposite sides of the final panel assembly.
