Abstract
A wall panel of a moveable and demountable frameless wall panel system that is secured between a floor of a room and a ceiling rail secured to a ceiling of the room. The wall panel includes a frameless panel, an upper clamp assembly, a ceiling track configured to be removably inserted into the ceiling rail, a lower clamp assembly, a first height adjustment mechanism secured to the lower clamp assembly, a second height adjustment mechanism, and a bottom floor channel receiving the first height and second height adjustment mechanisms.
Claims12
A wall panel of a moveable and demountable wall panel system that is secured between a floor of a room and a ceiling rail secured to a ceiling of the room, the wall panel comprising:
- a frameless panel having a top, a bottom, a left side, a right side, a front, and a back, the frameless panel defining a top portion toward the top and a bottom portion toward the bottom of the frameless panel;
- an upper clamp assembly secured to the front and the back of the frameless panel at the top portion of the frameless panel;
- a ceiling track extending in a lengthwise direction between the right and left sides of the frameless panel along the top of the frameless panel, the ceiling track being secured to the upper clamp assembly and configured to be removably inserted into the ceiling rail;
- a lower clamp assembly secured to the front and the back of the frameless panel at the bottom portion of the frameless panel such that the clamp assembly is configured to support the weight of the frameless panel;
- a first height adjustment mechanism defining a height and secured to the lower clamp assembly and configured to transition between a collapsed state and an expanded state to change in height to selectively modify a vertical position of the frameless panel;
- a second height adjustment mechanism defining a height and configured to transition between an collapsed state and an expanded state to change in height to selectively modify a vertical position of the frameless panel independent of the first height adjustment mechanism;
- and
- a bottom floor channel receiving the first and second height adjustment mechanisms and extending in a lengthwise direction between the right and left sides of the panel along the bottom of the frameless panel, the bottom floor channel being configured to be placed on the floor to support the first and second height adjustment mechanisms.
