Benefits of technology

[0004]An object of the present invention is to provide a wall that is accessible from either side for services without disturbing the other side. The wall is designed to have a low noise transmission coefficient with three or more planes and a noise-reducing blanket of fibrous material. The wall with its three rigid planes can be made very fire-resistant for meeting building codes.

Problems solved by technology

The walls of traditional houses and commercial buildings are permanent, making it difficult to rearrange and reallocate their interior space.
Further, it is difficult and expensive to access, maintain and / or add services and utilities (e.g., electrical, communications, and plumbing).

Embodiment Construction

[0019]FIGS. 1-1B are perspective views of a wall construction 20 embodying the present invention. Components include: interior center planar sheet 1 (also called panel, preferably made of magnesium oxide but could be gypsum, drywall or other material), vertical standoff and reinforcing strips 2 (also called brackets or studs, and can have a channel or “Z” shape or other structural beam shape), floor attachment strips 3 (also called brackets), ceiling attachment strips 4 (also called brackets), tongue-and-groove strip system 5 for joining panels (also called vertical strips), and fasteners 6 (such as magnets, bolts, screws, clips, hook-and-loop material, or hook-tabs) for attachment to metal strips. Bracket strips 3 and 4 include holes or slots for vertical height adjustment and attachment of wall, such as to compensate for changes and non-uniformity of floor and ceiling. The outer sheets (sheets 9) are not shown in FIG. 1B to better reveal inner components of the inner wall assembly...

Abstract

A relocatable wall construction includes a center sheet (preferably magnesium oxide), vertical strips, floor and ceiling attachment strips, and tongue-and-groove connectors for joining adjacent aligned panels (also called vertical strips). Fasteners connect components together, and can include magnets, bolts, screws clips, and/or hook-tabs. Magnetic tape can be used for releasable attachment to outer sheets, along with fibrous sound-deadening material for noise reduction and slots for providing adjustment for non-uniform floors and ceilings.

Description

[0001]This application claims benefit under 35 U.S.C. § 119(e) of provisional application Ser. No. 61 / 053,200, filed May 14, 2008, entitled RELOCATABLE BUILDING WALL CONSTRUCTION, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.BACKGROUND[0002]The present invention concerns relocatable building walls configured for utilities.[0003]The walls of traditional houses and commercial buildings are permanent, making it difficult to rearrange and reallocate their interior space. Further, it is difficult and expensive to access, maintain and / or add services and utilities (e.g., electrical, communications, and plumbing). However, the inhabitants of buildings undergo changing lifestyles. In homes, as the family grows, there is a need for more rooms and / or different rooms as well as different utilities. As the family leaves, the home may have other needs, such as the need for home offices and / or grandparent apartments. In condos, there may be owners that want more or less space...
