Abstract
A wall system includes a plurality of wall assemblies. The wall assembly includes a post and a wall that is rotatably supported within the post to allow for controlled extension and retraction of the wall. An edge of the wall includes a key that is received within a keyhole of an adjacent post to secure the wall in an extended position between the adjacent posts.
Claims19
A wall system comprising:
- a first wall assembly comprising:
- a first post comprising a top end, a bottom end, an outer surface, and an inner surface, the inner surface defining a first chamber extending between the top end and the bottom end, the first post defining a first deployment slot extending between the top end and the bottom end and providing access to the first chamber;
- a first wall comprising a first edge and a second edge, the second edge comprising at least one key, the first wall rotatably housed within the first chamber and horizontally deployable through the first deployment slot;
- and
- a second wall assembly comprising:
- a second post comprising a top end, a bottom end, an outer surface, a second deployment slot extending between the top end and the bottom end, and at least one keyhole along at least a portion of the outer surface of the second post, the at least one keyhole dimensioned to accommodate one of the at least one keys and secure the one key within the at least one keyhole,
- wherein the second post further comprises at least one keyhole bracket supporting the at least one keyhole, wherein the second deployment slot comprises a first edge and a second edge, wherein the at least one keyhole bracket comprises a first edge and a second edge, and wherein the at least one keyhole bracket extends along the outer surface of the second post such that the first edge of the at least one keyhole bracket is proximate to the first edge of the second deployment slot and the second edge of the at least one keyhole bracket is proximate to the second edge of the second deployment slot.

A method of assembling a wall system comprising:
- mounting and vertically supporting a first post on a first base;
- mounting and vertically supporting a second post on a second base;
- horizontally deploying a first wall through a first deployment slot defined in the first post, the first wall rotatably housed within a chamber defined by the first post, the first deployment slot extending between a top end of the first post and a bottom end of the first post;
- and
- detachably engaging at least one key on an edge of the first wall with at least one keyhole provided on an outer surface of the second post, wherein the second post further comprises a second deployment slot and at least one keyhole bracket supporting the at least one keyhole, wherein the second deployment slot comprises a first edge and a second edge, wherein the at least one keyhole bracket comprises a first edge and a second edge, and wherein the at least one keyhole bracket extends along the outer surface of the second post such that the first edge of the at least one keyhole bracket is proximate to the first edge of the second deployment slot and the second edge of the at least one keyhole bracket is proximate to the second edge of the second deployment slot.
