  • Publication number: 20260110170
    Abstract: Various embodiments provide modular wall junction bracket systems and methods for installing interior modular walls. They may utilize a plurality of frame rail brackets to connect corresponding frame rails to a central installation guide, forming a base for modular walls. The installation guide serves as a structural junction, anchoring the wall setup to the building's floor, ensuring stability and security. The installation guide features a sequence of registration structures, potentially accompanied by moveable connectors, to loosely secure the system yet still provide the adjustability to permit customized angular arrangements during the initial alignment process. This system enhances flexibility, security, and efficiency in constructing modular interior walls in various spaces within a building or any environment.

  • Publication number: 20260110173
    Abstract: A height adjustment device for adjusting a panel of a modular wall. The height adjustment device comprises an upper wedge member having a plurality of teeth on a lower angled surface thereof and a lower wedge member having a plurality of teeth on an upper angled surface thereof, the lower wedge member being positioned for supporting the upper wedge member. The upper wedge member is positioned for supporting the panel. The teeth on the upper and lower angled surfaces are interengaged with one another to prevent relative movement of the wedge members to fix a height of the panel. The teeth are disengageable to enable adjustment movement between the wedge members to vary the height of the panel.

  • Patent number: 12410611
    Abstract: A pre-assembled internal frame for a modular wall comprises a pair of vertical frame members. Each first flange of the vertical frame member has a pair of series of vertically arranged mounting openings, and each second flange has a single series. The vertical frame members are oriented to enable the frame to be arranged in an end to end junction with another frame with adjacent vertical frame members thereof abutting. This provides three of the series of vertically arranged openings on each side of the modular wall at the end to end junction. A fastener is positioned in a fastener receiving portion for fastening the horizontal frame member to the vertical frame members. The fastener receiving portions are recessed laterally inwardly from the first and second web sections for avoiding interference between adjacent fasteners when the frame is arranged in the end to end junction with another such frame.
