Abstract
An interior partition system wherein with relatively few components, most of which can be roll formed from common sets of roller dies, a wide variety of interior screens or full height partitions can be constructed, thus avoiding the necessity of the manufacture and inventory of a large number of parts. For some parts, where volume may not justify the investment in the required roll sets, other manufacturing techniques may be employed, but such parts are readily compatible with the high volume components and usable interchangeably therewith. In the preferred form, a verticaless panel is constructed having a roll formed slotted, recessed edge which includes a double thickness folded flange of special configuration so that adjacent panels may readily be secured together either with a multipurpose co-extruded plastic zipper strip which will provide the desired light and sound seal, accommodate a wide variety of surface finishes and provide an appearance cover for the recessed slots yet providing access thereto for hanging components or accessories to the screen or partition, or a spring metal panel connector.
