Abstract
A modular building system is disclosed for forming at least one dissassemblable, freestanding screen, the system comprising at least two elongate supports each having an upper end and a lower end, a foot for each of the support members to hold the support members stably in a vertical position and plurality of building blocks adapted to be threaded in vertical progression on the support members, stackable one upon another to form a screen. There is thereby provided a versatile building system for screens, particularly those to be used to partition room space, which are adjustable in height and easily disassembled for reconfiguration.
Claims8
Dissassemblable freestanding partition screen, comprising:
- at least two elongate support members, each having an upper end and a lower end;
- a foot for each of said support members, adapted to engage the lower end of one support member and hold said one support member erect in vertical orientation;
- and
- a plurality of vertically stackable building block members, each said building block member being a rectangular box open at the bottom and top thereof, comprising a front wall, a rear wall and a horizontal bracing means,
- each said building block member including socket means for receiving respective upper ends of the support members through apertures in said horizontal bracing means when the support members are placed in a predetermined transverse alignment,
- each said building block member including integral engagement means at the top and bottom thereof for engagement with the building block members immediately above and below said building block member in a vertical stack on the support members for resisting relative lateral movement of the building block members of the stack.
