Pre-fabricated wall system joining modules of different thicknesses
The granted patent US12000144B2 describes a pre-fabricated wall system designed to connect wall modules of varying thicknesses. The system includes a thin wall module and a thick wall module, with the thick module having a greater depth than the thin one. Central to this design is a vertical connection post featuring two connection interfaces: one for the thin wall module and another for the thick wall module. Each module is secured to the post using channel inserts that ensure both modules can be arranged either parallel or co-planar. The thin wall module is characterized by a wall tile and a vertical end frame, which includes a channel for secure attachment.
Further claims detail the structural features of the wall system, including the alignment of center planes and the use of connectors to fill gaps between the modules and the vertical post. The thick wall module is noted to have an interior cavity for housing electrical wiring. The patent also encompasses configurations where multiple wall modules can be arranged at right angles or in co-planar arrangements, depending on the design requirements. The versatility of the system allows for various combinations of thin and thick wall modules, enhancing its applicability in construction and architectural design.
