Abstract
A wall assembly includes first and second wall members and first and second base members. The first wall member has a side male coupling portion, a side female coupling portion, a bottom female coupling portion, and a magnet. The first base member has a base plate and a male coupling portion extending upwardly therefrom. The bottom female coupling portion of the first wall member receives the male coupling portion of the first base member therein. The second wall member has a side male coupling portion, a side female coupling portion, a bottom female coupling portion, and a magnet. The second base member has a base plate and a male coupling portion extending upwardly therefrom. The bottom female coupling portion of the second wall member receives the male coupling portion of the second base member therein.
Claims11
A wall assembly, comprising:
- a first wall member having a side male coupling portion, a side female coupling portion, a bottom female coupling portion, and a first magnet;
- the side male coupling portion and the side female coupling portion of the first wall member extending parallel to one another, the first magnet of the first wall member being disposed in the side male coupling portion of the first wall member;
- a first base member having a base plate and a male coupling portion coupled to and extending upwardly from the base plate thereof;
- the bottom female coupling portion of the first wall member receiving the male coupling portion of the first base member therein such that the first wall member is removably coupled to the first base member;
- a second wall member having a side male coupling portion, a side female coupling portion, a bottom female coupling portion, and a first magnet;
- the side male coupling portion and the side female coupling portion of the second wall member extending parallel to one another, the first magnet of the second wall member being disposed in the side female coupling portion of the second wall member;
- a second base member having a base plate and a male coupling portion coupled to and extending upwardly from the base plate thereof;
- the bottom female coupling portion of the second wall member receiving the male coupling portion of the second base member therein such that the second wall member is removably coupled to the second base member;
- the side male coupling portion of the first wall member being received in the side female coupling portion of the second wall member such that the first magnet in the first wall member is magnetically attracted toward the first magnet in the second wall member and the first wall member is removably coupled to the second wall member;
- and
- wherein the first wall member further comprises a central sheet portion, first, second, and third side sheet portions integrally formed with a first side of the central sheet portion, and fourth, fifth, and sixth side sheet portions integrally formed with a second side of the central sheet portion, the side male coupling portion of the first wall member being formed from the central sheet portion, the central sheet portion extending outwardly past the third and sixth side sheet portions, the side female coupling portion of the first wall member being formed from the central sheet portion and the first and fourth side sheet portions, the first and fourth side sheet portions extending outwardly past the central sheet portion, and the bottom female coupling portion of the first wall member being formed from the central sheet portion and the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth side sheet portions, the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth side sheet portions extending downwardly past the central sheet portion.
