A worktop and frame construction which utilizes a frame body that forms a generally flat, relatively thick panel that has an hour-glass shape in plan view so that in the center of the frame body clearance is provided for knees of a user of the worktop. The frame body is supported on legs that are assembled without using tools by having tapered sockets and mating tapers at the ends of the legs that tightly and securely fit into the tapered sockets. The workstation parts can be easily assembled on site. The frame body is a sandwich construction which has peripheral frame members that form outwardly opening raceways for wiring.

Worktop and frame construction

A modular table assembly utilizes an X frame as a main component for mounting worktops, and has connectors for joining one X frame to another X frame for modularity purposes. Tubular splicer tubes are used for mounting components, such as cabinets or shelves above the worktop. A vertically adjustably clamp assembly is utilized for supporting arms that can be pivoted and which can form supports for monitors or keyboards or the like. The tubular legs supporting the X frame members are clamped securely to the tubular frame members using insert caps in the ends of the tubular frame members so clamps can be tightened securely without crushing the frame members.

Modular frame worktop

A modular work station has spaced uprights that support a work surface, and a divider panel extending between the uprights. A communication cable channel extends between the uprights and has a passageway accessible for laying in a communication or other type of cable. At least one of the uprights has a recess that opens to an edge of the upright and aligns with the passageway in the communication cable channel such that a communication cable can extend through the recess to an adjacent modular work station. A cover member covers the opening in the upright channel to ensure that the cable is enclosed and yet can be laid in without threading it through openings in such uprights.

Cabling channel for modular office systems

A desk top system which has a basic superstructure upright that permits attaching cantilevered supports for supporting desk tops, pedestals, and the like so that they can be adjusted easily and conveniently relative to one another. The pedestals can be removed if the pedestals interfere with the movement of the feet of a user when the desk tops are supported adequately in other manners. The superstructures permit back to back mounting of cabinets, desk tops and the like. The units thus have great versatility and adjustability for providing desk space for users.

An apparatus to fasten panel electrical distribution units to divider panels. Mounting tabs are formed from a panel bracket. Mounting ears with holes to receive the mounting tabs and a slidable locking member with openings to receive the mounting tabs are carried on the panel distribution unit. The mounting tabs are inserted through the holes and openings, and the lock member is then moved to a locked position. The slidable lock member contains a spring member which provides positive friction force to keep the lock member in its locked position.

Fastener for electrical power distribution in divider panels

An apparatus is disclosed for separating a portion of a wall that defines a raceway beneath a divider wall panel from the divider wall panel. The apparatus includes a swivel spacer leg seating member and a swivel spacer leg. A portion of the swivel spacer leg is offset, which allows a device such as an electric power distribution system to be mounted in the raceway with the spacer leg. The spacer leg seats in the swivel spacer leg seating member and swivels to allow the device to mounted in the raceway in a desired orientation.

A movable partition panel is made with a perimeter frame and supporting members for easily, quickly and in a low cost manner fastening and reinforcing braces in place and permitting the rapid installation of fabric to the outside of the panel.

Movable panel assembly

A modular panel wall system having connectable prewired electrical harnesses in panel top raceways and transition connectors coupling the electrical lines across connecting posts on which the panels are mounted. The transition connectors conceal the wiring in panel junctions. The panels are removably joined at a post. In order to disconnect the panels from the post, the transition couplings extending between the panels must be removed for safety. Lower raceways of the panels have openings into which receptacles for electrical power can easily be inserted, and wires are transferred within a vertical member from the top raceway to the bottom. The receptacles are isolated from the main lower raceways to permit the lower raceways to be used for communication wiring.

Panel construction including electrical connectors

An accessory support system for attaching accessories, such as shelves, desk tops and book cases to movable wall partitions or panels used for dividing interior spaces into modules. The support system provides a secure, safe and concealed means for removably and adjustably attaching the accessories to the panels.
