A wall panel of a moveable and demountable frameless wall panel system that is secured between a floor of a room and a ceiling rail secured to a ceiling of the room. The wall panel includes a frameless panel, an upper clamp assembly, a ceiling track configured to be removably inserted into the ceiling rail, a lower clamp assembly, a first height adjustment mechanism secured to the lower clamp assembly, a second height adjustment mechanism, and a bottom floor channel receiving the first height and second height adjustment mechanisms.
1. A height adjustment assembly for a supporting a wall panel, the height adjustment assembly comprising:
a base having a first end portion and a second end portion opposite the first end portion;
a first end cap projecting from the first end portion of the base and a second end cap projecting from the second end portion of the base;
a height adjustment rod having a first threaded segment and a second threaded segment, the height adjustment rod being maintained by the first and second end caps such that the height adjustment rod is able to rotate relative to the first and second end caps; and
a first runner component threadably engaged with the first threaded segment of the height adjustment rod;
a first adjustment leg having a first end portion that is pivotably mounted relative to the first runner component and a second end portion opposite the first end portion of the first adjustment leg;
a second runner component threadably engaged with the second threaded segment of the height adjustment rod; and
a second adjustment leg having a second end portion that is pivotably mounted relative to the second runner component and a second end portion opposite the first end portion of the second adjustment leg, the first and second adjustment legs being adjustable between a lowered position and a raised position.
2. The height adjustment assembly of claim 1 , further comprising a support edge pivotably mounted relative to each of the second end portions of the first and second adjustment legs such that rotation of the height adjustment rod in a first direction causes a raising of the support edge and rotation of the height adjustment rod in a second direction causes lowering of the support edge.
3. The height adjustment assembly of claim 1 , wherein the first and second threaded segments of the height adjustment rod are threaded in opposite directions.
4. The height adjustment assembly of claim 1 , wherein the second end portions of the first and second adjustment legs are pivotably connected to one another about a common pivot axis.
5. The height adjustment assembly of claim 1 , wherein the first adjustment leg has a top face and a bottom face, the bottom face forming a central longitudinal recess configured to receive the height adjustment rod when the first adjustment leg is in the lowered position.
6. The height adjustment assembly of claim 1 , wherein the height adjustment rod has a first end and a second end, the first and second ends each including a drive feature.
7. The height adjustment assembly of claim 1 , further comprising opposingly positioned first and second clamps members pivotably secured relative to each of the second end portions of the first and second adjustment legs.
