Abstract
A wall panel of a moveable and demountable frameless wall panel system that is secured between a floor of a room and a ceiling rail secured to a ceiling of the room. The wall panel includes a frameless panel, an upper clamp assembly, a ceiling track configured to be removably inserted into the ceiling rail, a lower clamp assembly, a first height adjustment mechanism secured to the lower clamp assembly, a second height adjustment mechanism, and a bottom floor channel receiving the first height and second height adjustment mechanisms.
Claims20
A method of installing a mountable and demountable wall system between a ceiling and a floor, the mountable and demountable wall system including a panel having left and right sides substantially free of vertical posts, an upper support structure coupled to an upper portion of the panel and a lower support structure coupled to a lower portion of the panel and including at least one height adjustment mechanism, the method comprising:
- tilting a top portion of the panel forward to removeably engage the upper support structure with a ceiling rail attached to the ceiling;
- moving a bottom portion of the panel forward to vertically align the panel below the ceiling rail;
- and
- adjusting a vertical position of the panel using the at least one height adjustment mechanism.
A method of moving a pre-assembled panel of a mountable and demountable wall system between a first ceiling rail mounted to a ceiling and a second ceiling rail mounted to the ceiling, the pre-assembled panel of the mountable and demountable wall system having a frameless left side and a frameless right side, a ceiling track at an upper portion of the pre-assembled panel, and at least one height adjustment assembly at a lower portion of the pre-assembled panel, the method comprising:
- removing the ceiling track from the first ceiling rail to demount the pre-assembled panel from the first ceiling rail;
- moving the pre-assembled panel towards the second ceiling rail;
- aligning the ceiling track of the pre-assembled wall panel with the second ceiling rail;
- removably inserting the ceiling track into the second ceiling rail by angling the upper portion of the pre-assembled wall panel;
- rotating the pre-assembled wall panel into a vertical position;
- and
- adjusting a vertical position of the pre-assembled wall panel using the at least one height adjustment assembly.
A method of removeably mounting a pre-assembled wall panel system, the pre-assembled wall panel system having substantially frameless sides, the method comprising:
- locating the pre-assembled wall panel system near a ceiling rail coupled to a ceiling;
- rotating the pre-assembled wall panel system into a first rotated position;
- engaging an upper support structure of the pre-assembled wall panel system with the ceiling rail to mount the pre-assembled wall panel system to the ceiling rail;
- rotating the pre-assembled wall panel system from the first rotated position to a substantially vertical position;
- and
- adjusting a vertical location of a panel of the pre-assembled wall panel system using integrated height adjustment assemblies.
