Abstract
A door jamb for a movable wall system provides a downwardly open top channel, a pair of telescoping members attached to the door channel defining the sides of the door opening, and the telescoping members define a shape open away from the door opening to receive the edge of a wall panel. Preferably the top channel has a pair of L shaped members therein defining with the top wall of the channel on inner channel which receives coiled springs to bias a panel downwardly.
Claims18
Door jamb for movable wall system having a downwardly open top channel substantially overlying the location of a closed door mounted on a jamb, and a base surface is provided below said location,
- an extension assembly corresponding to each side of the door jamb,
- each assembly comprising upper and lower telescoping channels,
- said upper telescoping member including means for attachment to said top channel,
- means for connecting said lower telescoping member to a member on said base surface,
- each of said upper and lower telescoping channels defining in horizontal section a shape open in the direction away from the door opening to receive the side edge of a wall or glazing panel.
Door jamb for movable wall system, comprising:
- an extension assembly corresponding to each side of said door jamb,
- each assembly comprising upper and lower telescoping channels,
- said upper telescoping member including means for attaching said member to the ceiling,
- said lower telescoping member including means for fixing the lower end of said lower telescoping member against lateral movement relative to the base surface,
- each of said upper and lower telescoping channels defining in horizontal section a shape open in the direction away from the door opening to receive the side edge of a wall or glazing panel.
Ceiling channel including longitudinally extending top and side walls and defining a longitudinally extending downwardly opening channel,
- said channel defining a small inner channel extending the length of the ceiling channel comprised of L-shaped members depending from the top wall directed toward one another designed to retain the upper helix turn of a coil spring,
- coil springs so retained,
- a plate mounted in said channel and designed to be biassed downwardly by said coiled springs to bear on the upper edge of a vertical wall panel.
Ceiling Channel including longitudinally extending top and side walls and defining a longitudinally extending downwardly opening channel,
- said channel being designed to contain longitudinally extending means to which a coil spring with a vertical axis may be detachably attached and suspended, at selected locations along said longitudinally extending channel,
- coil springs so attached,
- a plate mounted in said channel and designed to be biassed downwardly by said coil springs to bear on the upper edge of a vertical wall panel.
