Description

OFFICE SCREEN AND METHOD OF USE
This invention relates to an improved office screen and method of use.
It is already known to provide screens for use in offices, which screens can be positioned at required localities and as well as forming room dividers act as sound proofing means and means for support of electric cables or the like.
According to an earlier invention of mine, filed in Great Britain on the 18th November, 1977 and granted under U.K. Patent No. 1 ,600,990 to Ashelwood Products Pty. Ltd., a series of panels were arranged to be interconnected to form a screen, the interconnecting means comprising plates with projecting pins which engaged apertures in the screen frame members at the junctions. This included curved panels.
According to a later invention of mine, Australian Patent Application No. 26628/84 (572830) dated 6th April, 1984, the screen was formed of a pair of wall members which were apertured and spaced apart by interengaging edge portions and the cavity was filled with sound absorbing material preferably on both sides of a medial divider. The screen had a lower cable duct which supported power outlets, switches and the like and enabled ready connection of equipment to power sources at any required area in relation to the screen.
The outer surface of the screen so constructed had over it a sound deadening fabric, this fabric member usually extending down to the lower cable duct.
A still further Australian Patent Application No. 45486 dated 2nd July, 1985 related to an improved construction having the wall members formed with inturned interengaging edges to form a rigid structure, and this had intermediate strips forming cellular cavities in which acoustic insulation bats were positioned.
This included a fabric covering in the form of a bag, open at one end, which can be pulled over the screen so formed, and locked to the bottom rail by tangs on the rail. " A feature of this earlier invention was the use of shelving suspended by brackets from the top of the screen, sections of the screen being joined together by connectors comprising plates having pins engaging apertures in the top and if required bottom members of the frame of the screen.
The object of the present invention is to provide certain improvements to this general form of acoustic screen, and according to this invention a further "desk-top" ducting may be provided at an intermediate level so that power outlets and the like could be taken at or above desk level.
A further object is to provide a neat and effective method of construction which will not destroy the aesthetic apperance of the otherwise smooth fabric covering of the unit, and this includes a different method of joining a series of panels together and allowing better access to the wiring ducts when a series of panels are joined together.
A further object is to so construct the screen that shelves or desk-tops can be more readily positioned and supported.
The screen, the subject of this invention, comprises a panel having a frame surrounding it and including cable ducts, and includes joining members adapted to be secured to the panel to form means whereby the panels can be joined together, and whereby shelving or desk-tops can be connected to the panels, and optionally includes hollow posts to form means to allow the cables to be positioned and to give access between ducts in the screens.
Thus the invention consists of an office screen comprising a perimeter frame adapted to be upstanding from a support and including a pair of spaced-apart side members, first and second wall members supported by the perimeter frame to form a cavity between the first and second wall members, acoustic insulation in the cavity, and external covering at least over the first and second wall members, characterised by; edge joining members on the said side members of the said perimeter frame to connect at least another screen to the said screen, a medial cable duct between the said side members of the said perimeter frame intermediate the ends of the said side members, apertures through the said side members communicating with the said medial cable duct, and openings in the said medial cable duct to give access into the said medial cable duct from the sides of the said screen.
Other features are hollow posts to form joining means for a plurality of such wall members and a further duct disposed between the perimeter frame and the support, the posts placing the ducts into communication the one with the other, the posts and side members also forming supports for shelves or the like.
To enable the invention to be fully appreciated, an embodiment will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings in which: -
FIG. 1 is a fragmentary perspective view of screens according to the invention connected together by edge joining members with or without an intermediate post,
FIG. 2 is a transverse fragmentary section of a screen and ducts to an enlarged scale,
FIG. 3 is a longitudinal section of one end of the perimeter frame of a screen,
FIG. 4 is a sectional enlarged detail of the comer designated A,
FIG. 5 is a similar view of the area designated B,
FIG. 6 is an enlarged longitudinal section showing how the edge joining members can be locked to the screens,
FIG. 7 is an elevation of part of an edge joining member to show the engaging members,
FIG. 8 is an enlarged perspective view of a means for joining together three screens, using a post, FIG. 9 shows a cover clip to close the end of an edge joining member,
FIG. 10 is a view similar to FIG. 8 but showing how a pair of co¬ extensive screens can be joined together, and
FIG. 11 is a sectional view showing a pair of screens joined to an intermediate post which can serve as vertical ducting, and as shown in FIG. 1 forms cable connecting means between intermediate and lower ducts.
In the drawings, similar components have similar reference numerals.
Each screen 1 has a perimeter frame 2 which supports perforated wall members 3 which define between them cavities 4 into which bats of acoustic insulation 5 are placed, a septum 6 preferably being disposed between the bats of acoustic insulation 5. This structure forms a rigid screen 1 having the necessary sound absorbing properties but forming an impervious wall when a continuous septum 6, such as a plastics member, is used.
Drawn over the screen 1 so formed is a covering 7 of wool cloth or the like, this covering 7 being preferably formed as a bag to be drawn downward over the screen, the edges of the bag being engaged on prongs 8 on a lower part of the perimeter frame 2 of the screen 1 as shown particularly in FIG. 2.
The screens 1 are disposed on a lower cable ducting 10 which can be fixed to a floor or other support and may have height adjustment and levelling means 11 as shown in FIG. 2, the lower cable ducting 10 as shown comprising a lower cavity 12 and an upper cavity 13 to separate power cables and computer or communication cables, the lower cable ducting 10 having openings in the side walls over which power outlets 14 may be mounted.
The screen 1 can be held to the lower ducting 10 by any suitable means such as those known under the Trade Name of "Oddy Clips", these being indicated by 15. The medial cable ducting 16 disposed at an intermediate line between the top of the screen 1 and the lower cable ducting 10 is completely enclosed within the screen, but means are provided in the walls of the cable ducting 16 whereby the necessary access is given and the necessary mounting is afforded for components such as power outlets or switches or the like.
This is achieved by having in the front of the inbuilt cable ducting 16, openings 17 where access can be had to wiring within the ducting, and this is preferably achieved by providing the openings 17 as break-away sections as shown in the face of the ducting which, by determining their position, allow these members to be sited in a neat and effective manner.
To position a power outlet or switch or the like, the area where a break¬ away section 17 is positioned is located from a template or similar directing means, and the mounting is effected by use of a fabric retaining frame (not shown) secured over the selected area by any means such as glueing or screwing or the like, and after this the fabric is cut within the retaining frame and the break-away section 17 of the duct face removed to give access to the wiring which can then be connected to the component to be fitted and the component, such as a power outlet or switch, secured to the screen in the area of the fabric retainer frame.
In this way the fabric or other covering 7 which covers the screen is maintained taut in its correct position and is not disturbed, and the system ensures that the screen itself retains its aesthetic appearance because all other parts of the screen retain their covering 7 undisturbed with no visual evidence of where the ducting is located.
At each end of the screen the walls of the inbuilt cable ducting 16 is cut away so that when, two screens join, communication between the ducts can be maintained, this being shown by the cut-aways 18. The inbuilt cable ducting 16 preferably has a dividing member 19 to again divide it into two compartments for different types of cables. The method of joining the edges of screens is carried out by having slotted vertical edge-joining members 21 which are secured to the side members 20 of the perimeter frame 2 of the screens and which abut when the screens are contiguously positioned, and these edge joining members 21 can be the means whereby the screens are locked together, as shown in FIG. 10, using coupling members 22 which engage into end cavities in these edge-joining members 21 , slits 23 in the edge members allowing brackets such as the brackets 24 to be attached tσ project to support shelves 25 or the like.
The edge-joining members 21 are shown particularly in FIGS. 6 and 7 and comprise slotted holding members 26 which engage behind the heads of screws 27 which are screwed into the edges of the screens 1 , this assembly allowing the screens 1 to be completed, and the fabric covering drawn over them, after which the screws 23 are engaged in the edges of the screen 1 and the edge-joining members then slid into place.
These edge-joining members 21 can then be interconnected by coupling members 22 as shown in FIG. 10, or can be joined to a post 30 as shown in FIGS. 8 and 10 by using a coupling member 22 which has a central pin 29 which engages an aperture in the top of the post 30 and has prongs 31 to engage the adjacent edge-joining members 21.
The posts 30 can be used for joining together two or more screens as shown particularly in FIGS. 1, 8 and 10, using a coupling member 22.
The posts 30 are preferably supported on the lower cable ducting 10, the posts 30 being hollow to enable the wiring to pass around the corner from one duct to another and also up and down between ducts.
At corners, as shown in FIG. 1 , the lower cable ducting 10 is cut away at 32 and covered by a cover plate 33, thus allowing access to the lower cable ducting 10.
The inbuilt cable ducting 16 is accessible through openings 34 corresponding in position to the cut-aways 18 in the vertical members of the perimeter frame 2. From the foregoing it will be realised that a simple and effective screen and method of positioning and using it is provided, the system however retaining the neat and effective appearance free of extraneous fittings and when power outlets or the like are to be positioned this can be done without destroying the smooth outer appearance by fitting them in the manner outlined herein.
