Abstract
A partition structure is comprised of a plurality of interconnected construction blocks. The partition structure can be formed in any size and shape including, triangular, rectangular, circular, semi-circular, trapezoidal, etc., by cutting away one or more outer edges of the structure. The partition structure can serve as the pane for a window or door frame.
Claims29
A non-rectangular-shaped partition structure comprising:
- a pane having a pair of facades and at least one outer boundary and comprising a plurality of construction blocks, each of the plurality of construction blocks having a pair of faces joined by a first side edge, a second side edge, a third side edge, and a fourth edge, each of the plurality of construction blocks directly connected, at one of this construction block's edges, to at least one other of the plurality of construction blocks, at one of this construction block's edges a pair of outer spacing flanges extending about the first side edge and the second side edge adjacent and essentially parallel to the faces at least one hook receptacle located along the outer spacing flanges and facing one of the pair of faces, a pair of inner spacing flanges extending about the third side edge and the fourth side edge adjacent and essentially parallel to the faces, and at least one hook, in corresponding number to the number of hook receptacles located along the inner spacing flanges and facing one of the pair of faces each of the at least one hook adapted to be received within a corresponding hook receptacle of the at least one hook receptacle, when one of the plurality of construction blocks is interconnected with another of the plurality of construction blocks;
- and
- wherein at least one of the plurality of construction blocks has a portion removed, with the boundary at the line of removal defining at least in part, the outer boundary, in order to make up the structure.
A partition structure comprising:
- a frame;
- a pane having a pair of facades and at least one outer boundary and comprising a plurality of construction blocks, each of the plurality of construction blocks having a pair of faces joined by a first side edge, a second side edge, a third side edge, and a fourth edge, each of the plurality of construction blocks directly connected, at one of this construction block's edges, to at least one other of the plurality of construction blocks, at one of this construction block's edges;
- and
- wherein at least one of the plurality of construction blocks has a portion removed, with the boundary at the line of removal being received within the frame;
- a first pair of channels extending along the base, adapted to receive the pair of faces of the at least one construction block that has a portion removed;
- the first pair of channels comprising a pair of outer frame flanges located on either end of the base in generally perpendicular orientation to the base;
- and
- a first pair of inner frame flanges in parallel orientation to the pair of outer frame flanges extending upwardly from the base.
