Publication number: 20150135617Abstract: A fast installation/removal building partition structure is applicable to an indoor or outdoor partition wall and includes a top retention member, a bottom retention member, and a plurality of form boards. The top retention member and the bottom retention member are respectively set at top side and floor of an indoor or outdoor space. The form boards each include two surface panels, which define therebetween a receiving chamber for reducing weight. The form boards each have four side edges each forming a connection section, whereby the connection sections are coupled to the top and bottom retention members through projection-and-groove engagement. The connection sections located between the form boards are coupled to each other through projection-and-groove engagement. As such, the form boards can be conveniently and efficiently installed and removed for easy transportation to achieve easy installation, construction, repeated use, and adjustment as an indoor or outdoor partition wall.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 18, 2013Publication date: May 21, 2015Inventor: HUNG Ming LIU
