COUPLING DEVICE AND METHOD FOR COUPLING PANELS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240298803 titled 'COUPLING DEVICE AND METHOD FOR COUPLING PANELS

The abstract describes a coupling device and method for removably coupling frames of a modular panel system. This system includes two coupling bodies, one fixedly and rotatably connected to a first panel frame and the other fixedly and rotatably connected to a second panel frame. These coupling bodies can be removably coupled in a coupled state to connect the panels, or decoupled in a decoupled state to separate the panels.

  • The coupling device allows for easy assembly and disassembly of modular panel systems.
  • The coupling bodies are fixedly and rotatably connected to the panel frames for stability.
  • Panels can be quickly coupled or decoupled by connecting or disconnecting the coupling bodies.
  • This system provides flexibility in rearranging or reconfiguring panel layouts.
  • The design ensures a secure connection between panels when coupled.

Potential Applications: - Office partitions - Exhibition booths - Temporary walls for events - Retail displays - Trade show booths

Problems Solved: - Simplifies the assembly and disassembly process of modular panel systems - Provides a secure and stable connection between panels - Allows for easy reconfiguration of panel layouts

Benefits: - Time-saving in setting up and taking down panel systems - Versatile and adaptable for different configurations - Durable and reliable connection between panels - Cost-effective solution for temporary structures

Commercial Applications: The coupling device and method can be used in various commercial settings such as office spaces, trade shows, retail environments, and event venues. It offers a convenient and efficient way to create temporary partitions or displays that can be easily reconfigured as needed.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the coupling device ensure a secure connection between panels? 2. What materials are typically used in manufacturing these coupling bodies for durability and stability?


Original Abstract Submitted

a coupling device and method for removably coupling frames of a modular panel system includes a first coupling body fixedly and rotatably connected to a first panel frame of a first panel and a second coupling body fixedly and rotatably connected to a second panel frame of a second panel. the first and second coupling bodies are removably coupled to one another in a coupled state to thereby couple the first panel and the second panel together and are decoupled from one another in a decoupled state to thereby decouple the first panel and the second panel from one another.
