Abstract
A leveling assembly for a wall panel is described. The leveling assembly includes a floor track, a leveling track, and a leveling mechanism. The leveling mechanism comprises a leveling bolt configured to pass through a leveling square nut and into a floor track channel of the floor track, such that rotating the leveling bolt in a first direction causes the leveling square nut to push towards a first horizontal protrusion and a second horizontal protrusion of the leveling track, lifting the leveling track upwards away from the floor track.
Claims20
A leveling assembly for a wall panel comprising:
- a floor track comprising a floor track channel formed between a first protruded arm and a second protruded arm, the floor track channel defining a first alignment profile;
- a leveling track comprising a leveling track channel formed between a first vertical member and a second vertical member coupled together by a first plate, wherein the first vertical member includes a first horizontal protrusion and the second vertical member includes a second horizontal protrusion such that the first plate, the first horizontal protrusion, and the second horizontal protrusion form a slot in the leveling track channel;
- and
- a leveling mechanism comprising:
- a leveling square nut configured to be received in the slot in the leveling track channel;
- and
- a leveling bolt configured to pass through the leveling square nut and into the floor track channel, wherein,
- the leveling bolt resides into the floor track channel aligning with the first alignment profile;
- and
- rotating the leveling bolt in a first direction causes the leveling square nut to push towards the first horizontal protrusion and the second horizontal protrusion such that the leveling track lifts upwards away from the floor track.

A method of operating a leveling assembly to level a wall panel, the method comprising:
- coupling a leveling track to a floor track, wherein the coupling comprising:
- inserting a first blade of the floor track into a first U-shaped channel of the leveling track;
- and
- inserting a second blade of the floor track into a second U-shaped channel of the leveling track;
- inserting a leveling square nut into a slot in a leveling track channel of the leveling track, wherein the leveling track channel is defined by a first vertical member and a second vertical member coupled together by a first plate, wherein the first vertical member includes a first horizontal protrusion and the second vertical member includes a second horizontal protrusion such that the first plate, the first horizontal protrusion, and the second horizontal protrusion form a slot in the leveling track channel;
- inserting a leveling bolt through the leveling square nut and into a floor track channel, wherein the floor track channel is formed between a first protruded arm and a second protruded arm, the floor track channel defining a first alignment profile such that the leveling bolt resides in the floor track channel in alignment with the first alignment profile;
- and
- rotating the leveling bolt in a first direction causing the leveling square nut to push towards the first horizontal protrusion and the second horizontal protrusion such that the leveling track lifts upwards away from the floor track.

A leveling assembly for a wall panel comprising:
- a floor track comprising:
- a first set of vertical members comprising a first blade and a second blade;
- and
- a second set of vertical members comprising a first protruded arm and a second protruded arm defining a floor track channel formed between the first protruded arm and the second protruded arm, the floor track channel defining a first alignment profile;
- a leveling track comprising:
- a first U-shaped channel defined by a first vertical member and a third vertical member, wherein the first vertical member comprises a first horizontal protrusion, the first U-shaped channel configured to receive the first blade of the floor track;
- a second U-shaped channel defined by a second vertical member and a fourth vertical member, wherein the second vertical member comprises a second horizontal protrusion, the second U-shaped channel configured to receive the second blade of the floor track;
- and
- a leveling track channel, defined by the first vertical member and the second vertical member coupled together by a first plate such that the opening of the leveling track channel is in an opposite direction to an opening of the first U-shaped channel and an opening of the second U-shaped channel, wherein the first plate, the first horizontal protrusion, and the second horizontal protrusion form a slot in the leveling track channel;
- a leveling mechanism comprising:
- a leveling square nut configured to be received in the slot in the leveling track channel;
- and
- a leveling bolt configured to pass through the leveling square nut and into the floor track channel such that the leveling bolt resides into the floor track channel aligning with the first alignment profile, wherein,
- rotating the leveling bolt in a first direction causes the leveling square nut to push towards the first horizontal protrusion and the second horizontal protrusion causing the leveling track to lift upwards away from the floor track.
