Configurable and interlocking partitioning device, method, and system of use thereof

摘要

The invention relates generally to partitioning devices and methods for partitioning space. A device is presented comprising: at least one partition body; at least one motility assembly operably adapted to at least one partition body; and at least one interconnect, where the at least one interconnect is used to interchangeably link the at least one partition body in multiple configurations with another partition body. A method for partitioning space is presented comprising: providing a first partitioning device, where the partitioning device includes at least one interconnect, where the interconnect is used to interchangeably link the partitioning device body with a second partitioning device body; providing at least a first removably attachable portion on the first partitioning device; removing the removably attachable portion; and replacing the removably attachable portion with a second removably attachable portion, where the removably attachable portion is different than the first removably attachable portion.

1. A system for partitioning space comprising:
a first partitioning device comprising four edges; a second partitioning device comprising four edges, wherein said first partitioning device includes a first interconnect, wherein said second partitioning device includes a second interconnect, wherein said first and second interconnects are used to interchangeably link said first partitioning device with a second partitioning device, wherein the first and second interconnects comprise a ball and socket joint and wherein:
in a first connected configuration, the first partition body is in a first orientation with respect to the second partition body;in a second connected configuration, each of the edges the first partition body are rotated with respect to the second partition body compared with the first orientation of the first connected configuration such that the side edges in the first orientation become top and bottom edges in the second orientation; andin a third connected configuration, the first partitioning body is perpendicular to the second partitioning body; andwherein the first partition body is configured to rotate with respect to the second partition body when linked in each of the first connected configuration, the second connected configuration and the third connected configuration; at least a first removably attachable portion on said first partitioning device; and a second removably attachable portion attachable to the first partitioning device in the same location as the first removably attachable portion is attachable, wherein said second removably attachable portion is different than said first removably attachable portion; a transparent pane located in the first partitioning device where both the first and second removably attachable portions are attachable such that the transparent pane is substantially hidden when at least one of the first and second removably attachable portions are attached and the transparent pane is exposed when at least one of the first and second removably attachable portions are removed.
