Abstract
An interlocking frame assembly for constructing and supporting a wall system, wherein a plurality of substantially H-shaped support sections are each formed with a pair of flange members extending substantially perpendicularly from a side thereof, with each pair of flange members having a pair of inwardly directed projections and each pair of leg members forming the H-shaped support section also having a pair of inwardly directed projections. A plurality of connecting sections are selectively positionable to engage the inwardly projecting projections of separate support sections to interconnect said support sections in perpendicular or parallel arrangement relative to one another.
Claims17
An interlocking frame assembly for constructing and supporting a wall system and the like, and comprising:
- a plurality of substantially similarly-shaped support sections, each support section having a substantially H-shaped cross-sectional configuration defined by two pairs of oppositely directed leg members attached to one another and a web portion extending therebetween,
- each pair of said oppositely directed leg members having confronting leg surfaces, with at least one pair of projections formed on each pair of confronting leg surfaces;
- each pair of said H-shaped support sections further including at least one pair of parallel extending, spaced flange members attached to an outer surface of said support section and extending substantially perpendicular with respect thereto;
- at least one substantially H-shaped connecting means extending between and engaging a pair of said projections formed on confronting leg surfaces of each of two perpendicularly extending support sections for interlocking said perpendicular support sections to one another, and
- at least one further substantially H-shaped connecting means extending between and engaging a pair of said parallel extending, spaced flange members attached to each of two parallel extending support sections for interlocking said parallel support sections to one another.
