Abstract
A reconfigurable wall panel system configured to enable rapid attachment and removal of a wide range of interchangeable wall units and accessories is disclosed. One or more embodiments comprise a reconfigurable wall panel having a wall frame with one or more design spaces, each design space having opposing upper and lower grooves and a depression serving as a fulcrum for insertion of interchangeable wall units. Embodiments of interchangeable wall units may include one or more facing features, as well as upper and lower edges corresponding to the opposing upper and lower grooves of the one or more design spaces, the interchangeable wall units being configured to tilt into the depression and slide into a removably secured position within the respective design space.

A reconfigurable wall panel comprising:
- a wall frame having one or more design spaces, each design space comprising:
- an upper channel;
- and a lower channel, wherein openings of the upper and lower channels of the design space are oriented toward each other;
- and
- a depression within the design space, the depression enabling a fulcrum action in combination with the upper and lower channels;
- one or more interchangeable wall units configured to insert in the one or more design spaces, each interchangeable wall unit comprising:
- an upper edge and a lower edge, each corresponding to the upper and lower channels of each design space, the interchangeable wall unit being configured in size and shape to tilt into the depression of each design space and slide into a position such that the upper and lower edges of the interchangeable wall unit cooperate with the upper and lower channels of each design space to removably secure the position of the interchangeable wall unit;
- and
- one or more facing features.
A reconfigurable wall panel system comprising:
- one or more wall frames, each wall frame having one or more design spaces, each design space comprising:
- opposing upper and lower channels;
- and
- a depression within the design space, the depression providing a fulcrum area that enables fulcrum action in combination with the opposing upper and lower channels to facilitate insertion or release of an interchangeable wall unit;
- one or more interchangeable wall units configured to insert in the one or more design spaces, each interchangeable wall unit comprising:
- opposing upper and lower edges corresponding to the upper and lower channels of each design space, the interchangeable wall unit configured in size and shape to tilt into the depression of each design space and slide into a position such that the opposing upper and lower edges of the wall unit cooperate with the opposing upper and lower channels of the design space to removably secure the position of the interchangeable wall unit;
- and
- one or more facing features.
