System for adapting the height of a dividing wall

Abstract

A system for adapting the height of a dividing wall between a space ceiling and a space floor, in which case the dividing wall is supported at the bottom and at the top in a non-tiltable manner, has a height adaptation component between the ceiling and/or the floor and the dividing wall, which height adaptation component comprises at least two profile parts which can be telescopically extended and which can be fixed with respect to one another in different telescoping positions.

What is claimed:  
     
         1 . System for adapting the height of a dividing wall between a space ceiling and a space floor, the dividing wall being supported at the bottom and at the top in a non-tiltable manner, the system comprising: a height adaptation component between at least one of the space ceiling and the space floor and the dividing wall, which height adaptation component comprises at least two profile parts which can be telescopically extended and can be mutually fixed in different telescoping positions.  
     
     
         2 . System according to  claim 1 , wherein the fixing of the profile parts with respect to one another in the extended position takes place by means of a supporting part.  
     
     
         3 . System according to  claim 2 , wherein the supporting part can be slid into one of the profile parts and rests under or over the other profile part, holding the latter at a distance.  
     
     
         4 . System according to  claim 1 , wherein the height adaptation component engages by means of an extension between two panes of the dividing wall connected in parallel at a distance.  
     
     
         5 . System according to  claim 4 , wherein the panes are formed of a transparent glass, and the visible extension is covered on the exterior side of the pane by an edge printing, the width of the printing being variable corresponding to the engaging depth of the extension.  
     
     
         6 . System according to  claim 4 , wherein the extension, which is constructed independently of the profile parts, is fixed at the panes.  
     
     
         7 . System according to  claim 1 , wherein dividing walls, which adjoin one another in their dimension, are connected by a bridging element which is supported by means of an extension in the vertically displaceable profile part.  
     
     
         8 . System according to  claim 7 , wherein the bridging element engages in each case between the panes of the adjoining dividing walls.  
     
     
         9 . System according to  claim 1 , wherein the dividing wall has a sealing edge end profile with respect to a wall extending transversely thereto.  
     
     
         10 . Method of mounting a dividing wall, the method comprising: fastening a longitudinal rail at the space ceiling, on which longitudinal rail the dividing wall is supported while corresponding with an upper receiving device; the dividing wall, aligned in its height, is supported at the lower end in a receiving device at the floor, wherein at least one of the receiving devices comprises a height adaptation component.  
     
     
         11 . A system for adapting the height of a dividing wall between a space ceiling and a space floor, the dividing wall being supported at the bottom and at the top against tilting, the system comprising a height adaptation component disposed between the dividing wall and the space ceiling and the space floor, the height adaptation component including at least two profile parts, wherein the two profile parts are telescopically arranged and are securable at different relative positions.  
     
     
         12 . The system according to  claim 11 , further comprising a supporting part that secures the profile parts at different relative positions.  
     
     
         13 . The system according to  claim 12 , wherein the supporting part is slidable into one of the profile parts and rests against the other profile part to secure the profile parts at a relative position.  
     
     
         14 . The system according to  claim 11 , wherein the height adaptation component has an extension disposed at least partially between two parallel panes of the dividing wall.  
     
     
         15 . The system according to  claim 14 , further comprising an edge printing that covers a portion of the extension outside of the panes of the dividing wall.  
     
     
         16 . The system according to  claim 14 , wherein the extension is fixed to the panes.  
     
     
         17 . The system according to  claim 11 , further comprising a bridging element and a bridging element extension supporting the bridging element, wherein the bridging element is disposed between sections of the dividing wall and the bridging element extension extends into one of the profile parts.  
     
     
         18 . The system according to  claim 17 , wherein the bridging element extends between the panes of the adjoining sections of the dividing wall.  
     
     
         19 . The system according to  claim 11 , further comprising a sealing edge end profile disposed along an edge of the dividing wall.  
     
     
         20 . A method of mounting a dividing wall between a space ceiling and a space floor, the method comprising fastening a longitudinal rail to the space ceiling, wherein the longitudinal rail supports the dividing wall; and placing a height adaptation component between the dividing wall and the space ceiling and the space floor, the height adaptation component including at least two profile parts, wherein the two profile parts are telescopically arranged and are securable at different relative positions.  
     
     
         21 . The method according to claim  20 , the method comprising sliding a supporting part into one of the profile parts, wherein the supporting part rests against the other profile part to secure the profile parts at a relative position so that the dividing wall has a uniform height.
