Abstract
A partition support system comprising a first pole along a first axis, a second pole along a second axis, a first support pole along a third axis, and a second support pole along a fourth axis, wherein the third and fourth axes run transvers to the first and second axes. The first support pole has a first adapter to connect the first end of the first support pole to the first pole, and a second adapter to connect the second end of the first support pole, to the second pole. The second support pole has a first adapter to connect the first end of the second support pole to the first pole, and a second adapter to connect the second end of the second support pole to the second pole.
Claims38
A system, comprising:
- a first pole elongated along a first axis;
- a second pole elongated along a second axis, the second axis being substantially parallel with the first axis;
- a first support pole elongated along a third axis, the third axis being transverse to the first axis and the second axis, the first support pole comprising a first end coupled to the first pole and a second end coupled to the second pole;
- and
- a first adapter coupled to the first end of the first support pole and the first pole, the first adapter comprising a base comprising an upper surface and a lower surface, wherein the base comprises:
- a concave interface region on the lower surface constructed and arranged to interface with at least a portion of the first pole;
- a first sidewall and a second sidewall extending from the upper surface;
- and
- at least one connection region on the upper surface between the first and second sidewalls constructed and arranged to couple to the first support pole.
