Abstract

Given is a formed partition made of displaceable wall elements that are suspended, by means of carrier studs, on two carrier members that are displaceable in guide rails, and movable along their perpendicular interfaces in sealing contact against one another and/or against terminal elements. Situated on the horizontal interfaces of the wall elements are sealing strips that are capable of being extended in contact against the floor and/or the guide rails or the ceiling of the room. On one of the wall elements, one of the carrier studs is journaled in horizontally-displaceable fashion toward the other carrier stud. In order to be able to execute a simple and rapid transport of the wall elements, even diagonally, running in the guide rail is a drivable endless element to which are fixed, at a predetermined interval apart, two followers. Disposed on the carrier members are vertically-extendable follower pins, which, in the extended position, come into engagement with the followers and are then transported by the endless element along the guide rail.
