Abstract
The invention generally pertains to a modular partition system. By way of one example, the modular partition system is constructed of a number of modular partition segments having an adjustable pole support member, a plurality of lightweight, compressible foam blocks configured to be attached to and removed from the adjustable pole support member and a plurality of foam block covers sized to be securely affixed to the front and back of a compressible foam block to provide strength and structural support to each compressible foam block of the modular partition. Using a combination of multiple sized modular partition segments, a larger size room may be partitioned to create a relative soundproof barrier between the newly created adjacent rooms.
Claims18
A modular partition for use in a room having a floor and a ceiling, the modular partition system comprising:
- an adjustable pole support member configured to be rigidly secured in a position between the floor and the ceiling by tension to hold the pole securely in place, said adjustable pole support member configured to be removable from the rigidly secured position between the floor and the ceiling to move the modular partition from a first room to a second room;
- a plurality of compressible foam blocks configured to be attached and removed from the adjustable pole support member, each block having a connector channel at one end for fastening each compressible foam block to the adjustable pole support, wherein the connector channel permits each compressible foam block to rotate relative to the adjustable pole support member;
- a plurality of foam block covers, each foam block cover sized to be securely affixed to a front and back of a respective said compressible foam block, wherein the plurality of foam block covers provides strength and structural support to each foam block of the modular partition;
- and
- an upper block housing having an upper block housing channel and a lower block housing having a lower block housing channel, the upper block housing and lower block housing removably attached to a top and bottom of each compressible foam block, wherein each foam block cover snap fits within the upper block housing channel and the lower block housing channel.

A modular partition for use in a room having a floor and a ceiling, the modular partition comprising:
- a free-standing adjustable pole support member configured to be removable from a rigidly secure position between the floor and the ceiling to move the modular partition from a first room to a second room;
- an outer sheath concentrically disposed to the free-standing adjustable pole support member, wherein the outer sheath rotates relative to the free-standing adjustable pole support member;
- a plurality of compressible foam blocks formed to be attached and removed from the outer sheath, each block having a connector channel at one end for fastening each compressible foam block to the outer sheath, wherein the connector channel fixes each compressible foam block to the outer sheath and permits each compressible foam block to rotate relative to the adjustable pole support member;
- an upper block housing and a lower block housing removably attached to a top and bottom of each compressible foam block;
- and
- a plurality of rigid foam block face plates, each rigid foam block face plate configured to attach to the upper block cover housing and lower block cover housing on a front and back of each compressible foam block, wherein each rigid foam block face plate snap fits within the upper block housing and the lower block housing and wherein the plurality of rigid foam block face plates provides strength and structural support to each foam block of the modular partition.
