Patent number: 10470560Abstract: A mounting system for mounting a piece of furniture in a movable manner to a modular wall system includes a side support bar that has a channel extending therethrough. The side support bar can be mounted to a modular wall system. A roller assembly is connected to the piece of furniture. The roller assembly includes rollers that can be positioned and moved within the channel to enable the piece of furniture to be selectively repositioned along the modular wall system.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2016Date of Patent: November 12, 2019Assignee: DIRTT Environmental Solutions, Ltd.Inventors: Geoff Gosling, Mogens Smed

Patent number: 10400448Abstract: Reinforced panels include a layer of glass joined to a substrate to support the glass. Connectors are joined to the side of the substrate opposite the glass to enable the reinforced panel to be configured with and/or attached to a modular wall system. The glass can be backpainted prior to joining to the substrate, and/or a film can be included in the reinforced tile disposed between the glass panel and the substrate. A reinforced panel includes a conductive material disposed between a glass layer and a substrate to form a touch-responsive section. One or more intermediate layers disposed between the glass layer and the substrate are included. The one or more intermediate layers have sufficient elastic deformability so as to enable the reinforced panel to tolerate differences in thermal expansion between the substrate and the glass layer without resulting in cracking of the glass layer.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2016Date of Patent: September 3, 2019Assignee: DIRTT Environmental Solutions, Ltd.Inventors: Geoff Gosling, Mogens Smed, Mark Tisdall, Brian Cassie, Kenton Hovdebo

Patent number: 10273743Abstract: A modular wall system with an integrated pocket door includes a frame defining a wall plane and a doorway. The system also includes one or more aesthetic panels connected to at least a portion of the frame so as to cover at least a portion of the wall frame. Additionally, the system includes a support member extending above the doorway and across at least a portion of the wall plane. The support member includes an integrated track that is accessible through one or more access windows integrated into the support member. The system includes a slideable pocket door integrated into the track such that when closed, the pocket door blocks the doorway, and when open, the pocket door is at least partially enclosed behind the one or more aesthetic panels.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2016Date of Patent: April 30, 2019Assignee: DIRTT Environmental Solutions, Ltd.Inventors: Geoff Gosling, Mogens Smed, Colin Blehm, Martin Fitchett

Patent number: 9670669Abstract: Implementations of the present invention relate to systems, methods, and apparatus for constructing a building. More specifically, the present disclosure provides an interlocking wall system that can allow a builder to accurately position, orient, and/or secure various structural wall modules. Additionally, this disclosure provides systems and methods for securing one or more cladding layers to the building's envelope. Furthermore, implementations of the present disclosure can allow for quick and modifiable installation of utility and communication lines within the building.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2013Date of Patent: June 6, 2017Assignee: DIRTT Environmental Solutions, Ltd.Inventors: Geoff Gosling, Mogens Smed

Patent number: 9593481Abstract: Implementations of the present invention relate to systems, methods, and apparatus for positioning and/or selectively repositioning one or more objects within an individual space. More specifically, a functional wall module can at least partially define the individual space. Furthermore, the functional wall module can include a single or multiple movable platforms that may support or secure one or more objects. As such, movement of the movable platform(s) may position and/or selectively reposition such objects within the individual space.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 2013Date of Patent: March 14, 2017Assignee: DIRTT Environmental Solutions, LTD.Inventors: Geoff Gosling, Mogens Smed

Patent number: 9528287Abstract: Implementations of the present invention relate to systems, methods, and apparatus for forming individual spaces within a building. More specifically, implementations can involve partitions and/or walls that can define an individual space, which can produce a perception for occupants that the individual space is larger than actual dimensions thereof. As such, the occupants of the individual space can have a perception or experience of being in an individual space that is non-confining or less confining than a conventional individual space.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 2013Date of Patent: December 27, 2016Assignee: DIRTT Environmental Solutions, LTD.Inventors: Geoff Gosling, Mogens Smed
