Abstract
Apparatus, systems, and methods for constructing and installing architectural walls that are secured to a floor and/or a ceiling and that that include an adjustment mechanism. The adjustment mechanism may allow the architectural wall to be selectively adjusted horizontally relative to the floor and/or ceiling so that a vertical positioning of the wall may be achieved. The adjustment mechanism may also allow the architectural wall to fit securely to a floor and/or ceiling.
Claims13
An architectural wall system comprising:
- a wall with at least a first face side and a second face side;
- and
- a first adjustment mechanism attached between the first face side of a first end of the wall and a first permanent structure, and a second adjustment mechanism attached between the second face side of the first end of the wall and the first permanent structure that allows the wall to be adjusted in position relative to the permanent structure;
- wherein:
- the first adjustment mechanism comprises a first rotatable member that is rotatable to adjust a position of the first end of the wall, the first rotatable member including a first support portion on at least one end thereof that interfaces directly with the first face side of the first end of the wall;
- the second adjustment mechanism comprises a second rotatable member that is rotatable to adjust the position of the first end of the wall, the second rotatable member including a second support portion on at least one end thereof that interfaces directly with the second face side of the first end of the wall;
- the first and second adjustment mechanisms are attached between the first end of the wall and the first permanent structure, and pinch the wall therebetween;
- the wall is further secured at a second end opposed to the first end thereof to a second permanent structure;
- a third adjustment mechanism is attached between the second end of the wall and the second permanent structure;
- the second permanent structure includes at least one opening configured to receive a portion of a third rotatable member of the third adjustment mechanism;
- and
- the third rotatable member of the third adjustment mechanism rotates to adjust the position of the second end of the wall.

An architectural wall system comprising:
- a wall, comprising:
- a first side;
- a second side disposed opposite the first side;
- and
- a hole disposed at a first end of the wall, the hole extending from the first side to the second side;
- and
- an adjustment mechanism associated with the wall and a permanent structure and operable to adjust a position of the wall relative to the permanent structure, the adjustment mechanism comprising:
- a threaded member attached to the permanent structure and spanning the hole;
- a first support portion associated with the threaded member and interfacing directly with the first side of the wall;
- and
- a second support portion associated with the threaded member and interfacing directly with the second side of the wall,
- wherein the first and second support portions pinch the wall therebetween, and
- wherein rotating the first and second support portions about the threaded member adjusts the position of the wall relative to the permanent structure.
