Prefabricated wall partition arrangement

Abstract

Wall partitions for prefabricated structures. The wall partitions engage receivers formed in beams of the base of the structure. The prefabricated wall partitions are slidingly engaged in the receivers of the beams and in receivers formed in adjacent wall partitions. The prefabricated interlocking or interengaging wall partitions form structural posts for the shelter. Rafters are engaged on the structural posts. Some of the interlocking wall partitions include female receivers at both of their ends for receiving other prefabricated wall partitions. Some of the prefabricated wall partitions have female receivers on one end and a male member on the other end for mating to each other. Position locators are mounted on the prefabricated wall partitions to space the wall partitions relative to each other. Prefabricated headers may extend over openings and include tongues and receivers for engaging the prefabricated wall partitions. The partitions and headers may form openings in the shelter and such partitions and headers may form receivers or channels about three or all sides of the opening. Such channels may be used, for example, for electrical wiring. The monolithic shelter further includes frame or trim interlocking arrangements about openings in the shelter. A monolithic connection between the wall partitions and roof structure includes wedges, connection hardware, and in some instances tie-in plates.
