Reinforcement plate or mounting plate (12) for locally reinforcing a partition system, which wall comprises a number of uprights or pilars (8), and each pillar (8) of which comprises a C-shaped profile part, to which pillars (8) are attached wall parts, such as for example plaster-boards, in order in this way to form a partition (1). The reinforcement plate (12) comprises a planar metal plate which is provided with connecting means, with which the plate (12) can be connected with a clamping fit both to a first pillar (8), on one side, and to a successive pillar (8) on the other side. The connecting means comprise, on the one hand, hook-like members (17) and, on the other hand, gripping members (20), which hook members (17) can interact with an upright (8) and the gripping members (20) can interact with the next, second pillar (8), which is placed adjacent to the first pillar (8).
A wall system comprising a plurality of pillars, including a first pillar and a second pillar, spaced at a specific distance from one another, each of said pillars comprising a C-shaped profile part having a pair of opposite sidewalls joined by a rear wall, said pillars for mounting wall boards to form a partition wall, said wall system further comprising at least one mounting plate for locally reinforcing said partition wall and for mounting items to said partition wall, wherein said mounting plate (12) comprises a planar metal plate having a first end opposite a second end, each of said first and said second ends having connectors formed from portions of said plate, said connectors of said first end connecting said plate to said first pillar in a clamping fit by engaging said first pillar and said connectors of said second end connecting said plate to said second pillar in a clamping fit by engaging said second pillar.
