  • Patent number: 6854233
    Abstract: A partition panel system that requires no tools, is easy to handle and is quickly assembled. The partition panel system includes a panel of barrier material surrounded by a frame and several sets of connectors. Each connector of one set of connectors has an “H” shaped configuration for attaching to panels for linear alignment of the panels. Each connector of another set of connectors a configuration for attaching panels at right angles. Other angles may be used by providing variation connectors. The connectors are inexpensive because they may be made from extrusions that are cut to a predetermined length.
