  • Patent number: 4448004
    Abstract: An improvement is provided in a removeable partition wall system wherein gypsum board panels, having suspension assemblies attached thereto, are suspended from horizontal channel support members extending through cut-outs formed in the webs of vertical channel stud members. The support members are preferably V-shaped or semi-circularly shaped. The cut-out comprises upper and lower portions. The upper portion is sized to permit the support member to be inserted therethrough on edge. The lower portion forms a seat dimensioned and shaped to conform with the outline of the support member. The cut-out is formed to provide locking shoulders, at the confluence of the upper and lower portions, which function to hold the support member (when seated) against rotation or vertical displacement.
