Abstract

A wall assembly for a soundproof space includes a first layer including sound absorbing material, a vertically oriented elongated mounting element behind or embedded into the first layer, the mounting element providing an adjustment groove for a vertically adjustable work surface, and an incombustible surface behind the first layer. A soundproof booth can include the wall assembly.

Claims (24)

1. A wall assembly for a soundproof space, comprising:

a first layer comprising a sound absorbing material;

a vertically oriented elongated mounting element behind or embedded into the first layer, the mounting element providing an adjustment groove for a vertically adjustable work surface; and

an incombustible surface behind the first layer,

wherein the incombustible surface comprises a local recess in a region of the mounting element and behind the mounting element.

2. The wall assembly of claim 1 , comprising a slit providing access to the adjustment groove.

3. The wall assembly of claim 2 , comprising a support for the work surface, the support being slidably attached to the adjustment groove and extending through the slit to the outside of the first layer.

4. The wall assembly of claim 1 , comprising:

a wall module providing said incombustible surface, and the said vertically oriented elongated mounting element being attachable or attached to the wall module.

5. The wall assembly of claim 1 , wherein the incombustible surface has a raised edge forming its end portion, the mounting element being attached to the end portion by a mounting arrangement.

6. The wall assembly of claim 1 , comprising an air layer in between the mounting element and the incombustible surface for maintaining a distance in between the mounting element and the incombustible surface.

7. The wall assembly of claim 1 , comprising a first wall element of sheet material providing said incombustible surface.

8. The wall assembly of claim 7 , wherein the material of the first wall element is sheet metal.

9. The wall assembly of claim 7 , comprising a second wall element of sheet material forming a wall module with the first wall element, wherein the first and second wall elements are joined together at end portions of the module to form an enclosure therebetween, the enclosure being formed of the sheet material.

10. The wall assembly of claim 9 , comprising sound absorbing material within the enclosure.

11. The wall assembly of claim 10 , comprising:

an air layer within the enclosure in between the sound absorbing material and either of the first and the second wall elements.

12. The wall assembly of claim 1 , comprising:

a vertical support member extending vertically from within the mounting element to outside the mounting element;

an electrical cable wound around the vertical support element, the vertical support element allowing the electrical cable to alternate between its contracted and extended states.

13. A soundproof booth, comprising the wall assembly of claim 1 .

14. The soundproof booth of claim 13 , comprising structural parts, including said wall assembly, attached to each other to form a structure encircling the soundproof space.

15. The soundproof booth of claim 14 , comprising a door frame attached to said encircling structure for attaching a door.

16. The soundproof booth of claim 1 , wherein the first layer faces the soundproof space.
