A strut assembly for a partition system includes an angular strut having a slotted upright normally captively disposed within the interior of a housing by lock structure. Tool access to the lock structure from without the housing allows of selective attachment and removal of the assembly from a position adjacent a post of the partition system as well as vertical adjustment of the strut while the housing remains stationary relative the post. A single strut assembly may alternately be attached to a rectangular or round post. In the former instance the housing and lock structure directly engage the post while in the latter case an intermediate hanger member serves as a stationary base for the attachment of the housing and the locking of the selectively positioned strut.

Partition strut assembly

A wiring raceway assembly comprises a single longitudinally extending member readily attached to the elevated bottom edge of a structural wall or partition member and to which are attached, by integral snap-fitting means, a raceway framing member and two covers. The framing member defines an inverted T-shaped configuration and provides two wiring trays separated by a central web while each cover includes integral hanger means on its inner surface engageable with the framing member to support and retain the lower portion of the cover in abutment with the framing member.

Partition raceway

A wall assembly includes one or more panels each supported at its end edges by means of a removably attached post having releasable retainer means at the top and bottom thereof engageable with top and bottom mounting clips carried by each panel end edge. Each clip is provided with a leg insertable and transversely secured within the free ends respectively of an edge channel attached to each panel end edge while a tongue projects outwardly from each clip and extends inwardly toward the medial portion of the post. Fastener means associated with each top and bottom retainer means is activated to securely clamp each clip tongue within the respective end of the post to rigidly connect the panel thereto. Removable force-fitting trim means is attachable to the panel top and top retainer means to provide a smooth, planar construction along the top of the wall assembly.

Portable wall assembly

A locking mechanism for drawers in an article of furniture includes a unitary lock transfer rod fully disposed within the furniture top and provided with a plurality of axially spaced crank portions. Only those crank portions associated with drawer columns are attached to individual vertical lock bars each having one or more resilient lock dogs thereon whereby, subsequent arcuate displacement of any one of the crank portions is translated as a concurrent displacement of all crank portions and the attached lock bars to move the lock dogs into and out of engagement with striker means carried by the drawers.
