`ABSTRACT
`(57)
`A moveable and demountable Wall panel system including a
`plurality of panels used for de?ning an office space. Each
`panel has opposite top and bottom distance channels, oppo
`
`site left and right vertical posts, a panel covering, a ceiling
`rail, and an articulating ?oor channel. The top and bottom
`distance channels extend along a direction substantially
`parallel to a horizontal axis of the panel. The left and right
`vertical posts extend along a direction substantially parallel
`to a vertical axis of the panel. The distance channels and
`vertical posts are affixed to one another by means of con
`necting studs in order to form a rectangular support frame of
`the panel. The panel covering is removably mountable onto
`receiving means of the rectangular support frame. The
`ceiling rail is operatively connected to a top portion of the
`rectangular support frame and is used for operatively secur
`ing the rectangular support frame of the panel to a ceiling
`surface. The articulating ?oor channel is operatively con
`nected to a bottom portion of the rectangular support frame
`by means of left and right glide assemblies mounted into
`receiving channels of the left and right vertical posts respec
`tively. The articulating ?oor channel is used for operatively
`securing the rectangular support frame of the panel to a
`ground surface. The glide assemblies are also used for
`displacing the rectangular support frame With respect to the
`?oor channel along a direction substantially parallel to the
`vertical axis of the panel. Each vertical post has at least one
`receiving lip extending along a direction substantially par
`allel to the vertical axis of the panel. Each receiving lip is
`removable connectable to another receiving lip of a vertical
`post of a neighboring panel by means of a connector for
`selectively and removably connecting together a plurality of
`panels in order to de?ne the office space. By virtue of its
`design and its components, the present Wall panel system is
`a moveable non-progressive mountable and demountable
`Wall panel system.
