1. A partition mounting system for mounting a partition including a lower edge and a first side generally parallel to and spaced apart from a second opposite side adjacent to the lower edge, the system comprising;
a shoe with an upward opening slot defined by a pair of spaced apart opposing side walls and a lower wall, the slot sized to receive the lower edge of the partition with each side of the partition adjacent to one of the side walls of the shoe and the lower edge of the partition adjacent to the lower wall of the shoe; a clamp assembly positioned between the second side of the partition and its adjacent side wall of the shoe, the clamp assembly having a lower block, a center block, positioned above the lower block, an upper block positioned above a center block, and a screw extending generally vertically through the upper and center blocks and threadedly engaged by the lower block; and the center block having a sloped upper surface and a sloped lower surface, the upper block having a lower surface engaging the sloped upper surface and the lower block having an upper surface engaging the sloped lower surface; wherein rotation of the screw in a first direction draws the upper and lower blocks toward each other and the engagement between the upper block and the center block and the lower block and the center block operate to force an engagement surface of the center block against one of the side wall of the shoe and the side of the partition, and to force an engagement surface of the upper block and an engagement surface of the lower block against the other of the side wall and the side, the lower block including a projection on the side thereof facing a shoe sidewall, and wherein the shoe sidewall face adjacent to the lower block has a groove capable of receiving a projection therein so that when the projection is received in the groove, the lower block is not movable in a partition-withdrawal direction across the shoe sidewall face. |
