Compagnie de Saint-Gobain‘s patented partition design includes elongate upright members with boards on each side, creating a cavity. A spacer within the cavity reduces bowing of the boards, allowing for increased spacing between upright members. The spacer experiences compressive loading and strain to maintain structural integrity.

Partition with spacer to reduce bowing between boards
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11970854B2) discloses a unique partition design comprising elongate upright members, first and second boards mounted on either side of adjacent upright members to create a cavity, and a spacer within the cavity. The spacer, which does not act as a load-transferring member, experiences compressive loading and strain in the through-thickness direction of the partition. The patent specifies various configurations for the spacer, including dimensions, materials, and affixing methods, to optimize the partition's structural integrity and performance.
Furthermore, the patent details a method for constructing the partition, involving mounting the first board on the upright members, affixing the spacer to the inner face of the first board, and subsequently adding the second board to compress the spacer. The method emphasizes the precise positioning and compression of the spacer between the boards to enhance the overall stability and functionality of the partition. By providing specific guidelines for the spacer's dimensions and installation process, the patent aims to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of constructing partitions with enhanced structural properties.
