Abstract: A hinge joint connects a first barrier to a second barrier of a wall which partitions a space. The hinge joint includes a female part connecting to the first barrier and including first and second pieces slidable relative to each other in setting a height of the hinge joint assembly to fit the ceiling height of the space. The hinge joint further includes a male part connecting to the second barrier and including third and fourth pieces which are slidable relative to each other in setting the height of the hinge joint assembly to fit the ceiling height of the space. Edges of the first and second pieces include at least one latch slot configured to retain a fixed latch pin of the first barrier. Edges of the third and fourth pieces include at least one retractable latch pin configured to engage a latch slot of the second barrier.

Abstract: A barrier system for partitioning a space includes panels which interlock with each other to provide a barrier that is fire rated. The interlocking panels are assembled in the barrier in columns using a tongue and groove assembly and a panel lock using a strike and latch supported by the tongue member and groove member, respectively. Each panel includes a peripheral frame (that is shaped to provide the tongue and groove members), opposed steel side faces mounted to the peripheral frame, and an insulation block filling an interior space delimited by the peripheral frame and the opposed steel side faces. The insulation block includes a pair of insulating material layers that sandwich a radiant barrier layer. A floor module supports a bottom edge of the panel and an interface module supports a side/top edge of the panel. The floor/interface modules are configured with telescoping sections and are length trimmable.

Abstract: A barrier system for partitioning a space includes wall panels which interlock with each other to provide a modular wall that is fire rated. The interlocking panels are assembled in the barrier in columns using a first tongue and groove assembly and a panel lock using a strike and latch supported by the tongue member and groove member, respectively. The barrier system further includes cap panel which adjoin each at a joint to provide a modular ceiling that is fire rated. The cap panels are assembled in the barrier to corresponding wall panels using a second tongue and groove assembly and a panel lock using a strike and latch supported by the tongue member and groove member, respectively.

Abstract: A barrier system for partitioning a space is formed by panels which interlock with each other to provide a barrier that is fire rated. The interlocking panels are assembled in the barrier in columns which include at least two panels. A first horizontal joint between two panels of the barrier in a first column is vertically offset from a horizontal joint between two panels of the barrier in a second column that is adjacent to the first column at a vertical joint. Each panel is made of a laminated structure including a supporting frame around a core layer, barrier layers on opposed surfaces of the core and skin layers on the barrier layers. Tongue and groove construction interlocks the panels and a locking structure formed by a tapered hook in the groove engaging into a slot of the tongue locks horizontally adjacent panels to each other.
