Abstract
A system for the partition of a space that has a ceiling includes at least one partition wall that partitions the space and has at least one planar element and a system connecting it to the ceiling. Such system and the upper peripheral edge of the planar element include male and female elements. The connecting system further includes at least one elastomeric element interposed between the female and the male elements, which deforms upon the coupling of the male and female elements and frictionally acts against them to prevent the planar element from falling down by gravity, without the need for additional support in the lower part of the planar element.

A system for partition of a space that includes a ceiling, comprising:
- a partition wall configured to partition the space and comprising a planar element that has at least one upper peripheral edge and a pair of outer faces;
- and
- connecting means that removably connect the planar element to the ceiling,
- wherein the connecting means comprises at least one male element, the upper peripheral edge of the planar element comprising a longitudinal concavity defining at least one female element having a shape causing the at least one male element, once engaged with the at least one female element, to be interposed between the pair of outer faces of the planar element,
- wherein the connecting means further comprise at least one elastomeric element interposed between the at least one female and the at least one male elements, the at least one female or the at least one male elements and the at least one elastomeric element being configured to cause the at least one elastomeric element to deform upon a coupling of the at least one male element with the at least one female element, thereby causing the at least one elastomeric element to frictionally act against the at least one female and the at least one male elements and to prevent a falling down by gravity of the planar element from the connecting means without a need of additional support in a lower part of the planar element, and
- wherein the connecting means comprise:
- a longitudinal supporting profile defining a second axis and having a first portion adapted to be coupled to the ceiling and a second portion comprising at least one seat for connection with the planar element;
- at least one connecting profile comprising a first end adapted to be integrally coupled with the planar element to define a unitary assembly, the at least one connecting profile including a second end adapted to be removably engaged with the at least one seat so as to mount/dismount the unitary assembly onto/from the longitudinal supporting profile, the first end of the at least one connecting profile comprising the at least one male element.
