Partition system
View Patent ↗According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, a partition system includes a flexible partition expandable along at least its length and its height, at least one support element associated with the partition, and a fluid delivery system associated with the partition and configured to deliver a fluid to a space adjacent to the partition.
1. A partition system, comprising:
a flexible partition expandable along at least its length and its height;
at least one support member;
at least one support element associated with the partition;
a fluid delivery system associated with the partition and configured to deliver a fluid to a space adjacent to the partition;
said at least one support member and at least one support element configured to allow translational movement along the support member of a portion of the partition proximate to the support element as the partition expands horizontally; and,
said fluid delivery system comprising a plurality of fluid channels and a plurality of dispersion mechanisms, wherein each of the fluid channels is attached to and configured to provide fluid to at least one of the plurality of dispersion mechanisms,
wherein at least one of the plurality of fluid channels is removably attached to the partition.
2. A method of delivering fluid to a space, comprising:
providing a substantially flexible partition having a plurality of removable hoses directly attached thereto, each of the hoses having at least one nozzle useful in delivering a fluid;
slidably supporting the partition with a plurality of support elements; and
expanding the partition along a length of a support member proximate to the space.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the partition is at least one of flame retardant, ultra violet ray stabilized, or chemical resistant.
4. The method of claim 2 , further including delivering a fluid to the space with at least one of the plurality of hoses.
5. The method of claim 4 , further including controlling a flow of the fluid with the at least one nozzle.
6. The method of claim 2 , wherein the partition further includes a coating that is at least one of flame retardant, ultra violet ray stabilized, or chemical resistant.
7. The method of claim 2 , wherein at least one of the plurality of hoses is collapsible.
8. The method of claim 2 , wherein the fluid is a liquid.
