There is provided an adjustment device for adjusting the vertical height of, for example, studs, furniture and large appliances. The device has a base (12), a pine (14) upstanding from and supported by the base and a rotatable cam element (20). The pin has a number of grooves (16) and the cam is capable of engaging one or more of the grooves to alter the distance between the base and cam. Also disclosed is a stud or mullion (30) having two sets of channels, each of which is adapted to receive a cooperating means for mounting a panel or bracket. The sets of channels are parallel to each other and spaced apart by parallel spaced webs (32, 34). The adjustment device may be inserted in the stud or mullion. Further disclosed is a joining clip (not illustrated) for mounting a panel or bracket to the stud or mullion. The clip is in two parts, one part has means to connect the clip to the panel and the other has a pair of resilient arms and is able to mate with the first part.
An adjustment device which includes:
A building element suitable for use as a stud or mullion, the building element including a first set of channels and a second set of channels, each channel in each set being adapted to receive a co-operating means for the purpose of mounting a panel or bracket on the building element, the first set of channels being parallel to and spaced from the second set of channels, characterised in that the first set of channels is spaced from the second set of channels by first and second webs, the first web being parallel to and spaced from the second web.
An adjustment device substantially as herein described with reference to the FIGS. 1 and 2 or 3 or 4 to 12 of the accompanying drawings.
A building element suitable for use as a stud or mullion substantially as herein described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3 or 4 to 12 or 13 and 14 or 15 or 16 or 17 of the accompanying drawings.
