A partitioning section comprising two metal side walls and a rigid corrugated board of a heat insulating material which is interposed between the side walls so as to hold them apart and out of contact and which is secured to the side walls by adhesive to form an integral assembly. The side walls have at one side edge of the section inturned flanges which are disposed in spaced parallel planes perpendicular to the walls and are each of a width less than one half of the thickness of the section. T...

A screen is made of hanging strands of beads of relatively large size and light weight. The beads are arranged to provide sound and thermal insulation to the extent desired between the spaces in a building on opposite sides of the screen. Two types of strand mountings are disclosed, with mechanism suitable to shift the strands laterally to increase or decrease the amount of occlusion provided between the spaces by the screen.

Disclosed are a system for and method of dividing or partitioning the total variance properties of a moving sheet into the components of: cross direction; long-term machine direction; short-term machine direction; total machine direction; cross direction; and profile. A single detector for the property is scanned at right angles to the sheet edges a plurality of times. During each scan the property is sampled a plurality of times to derive a profile contour. A computer responds to the sampled va...

Partitioning for a container having sets of spaced parallel panels that are interconnected with each other to delineate in conjunction with the container a plurality of four sided cells within the container for receipt and protective transport of articles deposited therein. The individual panels of each set of panels include an intermediate body section and a plurality of projections extending upwardly and downwardly therefrom so as to form alternating projections and cutouts on either side ther...

A partitioning system with vertical posts and horizontal connecting tubes, where panels can be attached to the posts with connecting elements, the posts having a connecting bar which is perpendicular to the plane of the partition with a row of connecting bores, cantilevered arm elements, which extend perpendicular with respect to the partition plane, can be attached to the posts. A simple structure of partitions with a closed visible side is possible with the aid of specially designed connecting...

A display shelf for use in an article display unit having a bottom surface, side surfaces, a pair of support members disposed along the side surfaces and at least one partition for partitioning the display shelf into a plurality of compartments, each partition including a middle portion and two support arms attached to the middle portion. The support arms are dimensioned to releasably engage with the support members.

A series of rectangular wall panels are confined between vertical and horizontal frame members connected by clamping devices which attach individually to the frame members. Each clamping device includes a member which extends into a square center opening within one frame member and has a truncated head portion projecting into a dovetail groove within the adjacent frame member. In one embodiment, the head portion of the clamping member is locked to the frame member by an extendable pin which proj...

A partitioning system for segmenting an open area into smaller compartment-like regions includes a grouping of multifunction, interchangeable standardized component parts which are selectively utilized according to the partitioning panel designs to be assembled and the particular configuration desired. The partitioning system includes structural wall panels of a unitized, laminated gypsum sheet construction, window panels, acoustical screens, and door members. Angled joints between adjacent pane...

A system which precisely arrays small objects into a plurality of containers which comprises a vessel containing the objects in a fluid suspension; a tube, the proximal end of which is positioned substantially at the bottom of the vessel and the distal end of which is connected to a member which directs gravitationally-formed fluid drops from the distal end downward into a container positioned below said distal end; a small-objects detector, for detecting the objects in the fluid in the tube, di...

A partitioning sash comprises at least one multi window mullion for forming a multiple window portion, at least one salient corner mullion for forming a salient angle portion and at least one reentrant corner mullion for forming a reentrant angle portion. The multi window mullion, the salient corner mullion, and the reentrant corner mullion has the same dimension measured in a direction parallel to a width of the sash. Each of the salient corner mullion and the reentrant corner mullion is consti...
