The invention relates to the implementation of a partition system, at the partitions and props through Utilization of magnetic coupling forces get connected.

• – Aufbau großformatiger Wandflächen ohne störende konstruktive Unterbrechungen, – geringes Gewicht (Leichtbauwände) für leichtes Handling (Aufbau, Abbau, Transport) durch maximal 2 Personen,
• – schnelle Montage, möglichst ohne Werkzeug,
• – Zusatzausstattungen wie Bildersicherungsschienen, Stromschienen oder Bilderhaltesysteme müssen integrierbar sein.

A variety of partition wall systems for museums, exhibitions and galleries are known, which only meet different requirements and in part meet the following requirements for a partition wall system that is as perfect as possible:

• - Construction of large-format wall surfaces without disruptive structural interruptions, - Light weight (lightweight walls) for easy handling (construction, dismantling, transport) by a maximum of 2 people,
• - quick assembly, if possible without tools,
• - Additional equipment such as image protection rails, busbars or image retention systems must be integrable.

Unfortunately, standard plug-in clips and pin attachments do not meet the requirements not the demands for partitions and wall surfaces without disturbing constructive interruptions, as the clips and pins are visible and there are light gaps or interruptions between the supports and the wall.

• – hohem Gestaltungsfreiraum beim Aufbau von Ausstellungen, möglichst ohne Einschränkungen in Bezug auf die Winkelstellungen der Flächen zu einander sowie
• – kleinstmöglichem Materialpool zur Gewährleistung von Übersichtlichkeit und vor allem als Voraussetzung für Kosteneinsparungen werden bisher von keinem der bekannten Stellwandsysteme erfüllt.

The requirements for

• - high degree of design freedom when setting up exhibitions, if possible without restrictions with regard to the angular positions of the surfaces to each other and
• - The smallest possible material pool to ensure clarity and above all as a prerequisite for cost savings have so far not been met by any of the known partition wall systems.

Achieving a minimal pool of materials can only by turning away from the diverse Supports profile cross-sections can be achieved.

The object of the invention is therefore to develop a partition system in which the partition walls without limitations mounted on the supports with respect to the angular arrangement of the partition walls can be and annoying constructive interruptions can be avoided.

This way one should be as possible flexible system can be created in all directions.

Due to the corresponding shape of the surfaces the intersecting end faces of the supports and the partition will also the right guidance and assembly of the elements of the partition system.

To fix everyone with one support the partition connected by magnetic coupling becomes the partition on both sides A safety catch is mounted on its upper face.

The safety catch engages in that upper end of the pipe support and is - for example by lock screw head screwed onto the upper end of the pipe support.

The arrangement of the support and partition described used partition walls can without angle change the partition also directly, i.e. without interposing a support, together be coupled. For this, at least one shaped piece made of steel in the cross-sectional dimensions of the formed between the vertical faces lying against each other Cavity used as a coupling partner.

The embodiment described below relates to the connection of partitions with each other without interposition of separate supports. In this embodiment is also a change in angle the partition possible from partition to partition.

Here, the vertical Frame parts both in the vertical flat end faces and in each offset by 90 ° flat front panels with grooves in the middle. There are steel strips at the bottom of the groove attached.

In the meeting of Face to face or face to face of both Grooves formed cavity is a separate magnetic Coupling element, which is adapted to the dimensions of the cavity Has box profile.

The coupling element has on its - the steel strip in the groove base facing - end faces each a magnetic element.

Instead of the magnetic coupling element with the same grid dimensions in terms of the groove width is a partition element consisting of an aluminum glass frame profile with a glued-in glass pane inserted into a groove, whereby in each vertical end facing the steel strip in the groove base of the aluminum glass frame profile integrated at least one magnetic element is.
