Abstract
A mounting unit of a partition mount system that removably secures a sheet of material includes a first portion and a second portion. The first portion has a first end and a second end opposite the first end and a pivot on a lower surface thereof. The second portion has a first end and a second end opposite the first end and is configured to mate with the first portion. The first end of the second portion is wider than the second end of the second portion. The first portion and second portion are configured to secure a sheet of material therebetween.
Claims21
A mounting unit of a partition mount system that removably secures a sheet of material comprising:
- a first portion having a first end and a second end opposite the first end and a pivot on a lower surface thereof;
- and
- a second portion having a first end and a second end opposite the first end and configured to mate with the first portion, the first end of the second portion being wider than the second end of the second portion, the first end of the second portion having a width greater than a width of the first portion in a first horizontal direction and the second portion having a length greater than a length of the first portion in a second horizontal direction orthogonal to the first horizontal direction;
- wherein the first portion and second portion are separable from each other and configured to secure a sheet of material therebetween, and
- wherein the first end of the first portion has the same width as the second end of the first portion.
An asymmetric mounting unit, comprising:
- a clip;
- and
- a head configured to mate with the clip, the head having a primary center axis extending in a first horizontal direction from a first end of the head to a second end of the head opposite the first end of the head and a secondary center axis extending along a second horizontal direction from a third end of the head to a fourth end of the head opposite the third end of the head, wherein the head comprises a length along the primary center axis and a width along the secondary center axis, wherein the length of the head along the primary center axis is longer than the width of the head along the secondary center axis, the head including a pivot,
- wherein a center point of the pivot of the head is positioned asymmetrically along the primary center axis between the secondary center axis and an end of the head, wherein the head is rectangular shaped.
An asymmetric mounting unit, comprising:
- a clip;
- and
- a head having a primary center axis extending in a first horizontal direction from a first end of the head to a second end of the head opposite the first end of the head and a secondary center axis extending along a second horizontal direction from a third end of the head to a fourth end of the head opposite the third end of the head, wherein the head comprises a length along the primary center axis and a width along the secondary center axis, wherein the length of the head along the primary center axis is longer than the width of the head along the secondary center axis, the head including a pivot,
- wherein a center point of the pivot of the head is positioned along the primary center axis,
- wherein the clip is wider in a direction along the secondary center axis than the head,
- wherein the clip comprises a first end and a second end opposite the first end, the first end of the clip being wider than the second end of the clip, and
- wherein the first end of the head being the same width as the second end of the head.
