Abstract (en)

A folding wall being composed of modules and substantially comprising a double row of panels foldable (1) in zigzag fashion by means of hinges, wherein at least two panels (1) being in opposite positions in the rows are pivotally interconnected by a coupling piece having two relatively spaced supporting memberg (13), whilst two blades (11) of resilient material slidable between two supporting members (13) are each fastened to an inner side of a panel (1), said resilient blades (11) will cause an inwardly directed force upon the panels (1) when the wall is drawn out, so moving these panels (1) into a parallel position, and wherein a lever (15) is connected at a distance from the supporting members (13) by means of a hinge with the coupling piece, so when folding the wall, said lever (15) is adapted to exert pressure on the free ends of the resilient blades (11), causing an outwardly directed force upon the associated panels (1) so that the zigzag folding of the wall is facilitated.
