Abstract
The present invention provides a system and method for segmenting spaces. The system may provide an aluminum extrusion system for supporting rigid and flexible panels. The aluminum extrusion system may comprise a custom designed aluminum extrusion that may mount flexible or rigid substrates with interlocking bases and connectors. The system is constructed and arranged to be capable of temporary and permanent installation, and is structurally sound, and safe. The system is design to be capable of effectively blending with the existing décor. The aluminum extrusion system provides a method for segmenting space to maximize the functional space which may be utilized, in a way that is attractive, functional, temporary or permanent, and portable.
Claims10
A system for segmenting spaces, the system comprising:
- a plurality of connector elements;
- a plurality of aluminum extrusions, said plurality of aluminum extrusions comprising:
- a first vertical aluminum extrusion;
- a second vertical aluminum extrusion;
- and
- at least one horizontal aluminum extrusion having a first horizontal extrusion end and a second horizontal extrusion end, the at least one horizontal extrusion being constructed and arranged for securement of the first horizontal extrusion end to the first vertical aluminum extrusion by a connector element of the plurality of connector elements, and securement of the second horizontal extrusion end to the second vertical aluminum extrusion by a connector element of the plurality of connector elements;
- and
- at least one substrate, constructed and arranged for securement between the first vertical extrusion and the second vertical extrusion;
- wherein each of the first and second vertical aluminum extrusions and the at least one horizontal aluminum extrusion comprises a plurality of interior extrusion channels, each interior extrusion channel further comprising a rounded innermost channel portion having a circular cross section, and a square outer channel portion having a square cross section;
- wherein each of the plurality of connector elements includes a first connector portion and a second connector portion, the first connector portion and the second connector portion being shaped to mate with one of said plurality of interior extrusion channels;
- and
- wherein each said at least one substrate has a first substrate end, a second substrate end and an intermediate substrate portion, and further comprises a first lateral keder located at the first substrate end and a second lateral keder located at the second substrate end, the first lateral keder and the second lateral keder being constructed and arranged to slide into one of the plurality of an interior extrusion channels for retention therein.
