Abstract
A partitioning system with vertical posts and horizontal connecting tubes, where panels can be attached to the posts with connecting elements, the posts having a connecting bar which is perpendicular to the plane of the partition with a row of connecting bores, cantilevered arm elements, which extend perpendicular with respect to the partition plane, can be attached to the posts. A simple structure of partitions with a closed visible side is possible with the aid of specially designed connecting elements, without the connecting elements being visible.

In a partitioning system having vertical posts and horizontal connecting tubes, where panels are attachable to the posts with connecting elements, the posts having a connecting bar which is perpendicular to a plane of the partition with a row of connecting bores, and cantilevered arm elements which extend perpendicular with respect to the partition plane can be attached to the posts, the improvement comprising:
- the connecting bar (15) having at least one support bar (11, 12) oriented in the plane of the partition;
- the connecting elements (30) comprising a threaded coupling (31) insertable within one said bore (16) of the connecting bar (15) and two screw sockets (32), said screw sockets (32) screwed on the threaded coupling (31) from both sides of the post (10), where said screw sockets (32) have an outside diameter which is larger than an inside diameter of the bores (16);
- said screw sockets (32) having at a distance corresponding to a thickness of the cantilevered arm elements (20, 20', 25) from a front facing said threaded coupling (31) a shoulder (36) with a widened diameter;
- the cantilevered arm elements (20, 20', 25) having vertical slits (22, 27) for receiving the support bars (11, 12) of a post (10) and and having an arm bore (23, 28) for the screw socket (32) in an area outside of the shoulder (36), said arm bore (23, 28) aligned with one corresponding said bore (16) of the connecting bar (15), and the cantilevered arm element (20, 20', 25) connectable with the post (10) with one said connecting element (30);
- and
- at least one panel (40) fixable between the support bars (11, 12) of the posts (10) and said shoulders (36) of said screw sockets (32) with said connecting elements (30) disposed on the posts (10).
