A functional rail system is mounted to the top of a modular office panel and supports a worksurface on the rail with the worksurface locked in position along the rail. The rail includes a channel in the upper surface for receiving an accessory, and a side accessory slot for mounting the worksurface. The worksurface may be mounted via an upper bracket and a lower bracket interfitted with each other and the side accessory slot to frictionally lock the brackets in place along the longitudinal length of the slot.

Functional rail and worksurface support

A furniture system which is readily reconfigurable into a variety of work surface configurations and shelving configurations as well as additional component configurations associated therewith so as to readily adapt the furniture system to the specific needs of an office area. The system includes a system of brackets which readily accommodates mounting of work surfaces at a variety of elevations, and a shelving system which maintains shelves of different materials and thicknesses so that the top surfaces thereof align in a common plane.

Furniture system

A storage cabinet employing a door formed in one monolithic piece from a thin sheet of light-weight but relatively rigid material, such as compressed resin-bonded plastic fibers. The door has a pair of panels, such as upper and lower door panels, integrally joined through a living hinge.

Storage cabinet with movable door

A storage cabinet assembly which is mounted on a worksurface by one or more support stanchions which project generally upwardly from the worksurface adjacent an edge thereof. The support stanchions position the storage cabinet in upwardly spaced relation from an upper surface of the worksurface and so that the rear side of the cabinet is generally vertically aligned with the edge of the worksurface. The storage cabinet includes one or more horizontal shelves which are adapted to mount upright divider elements thereon which define upwardly and sidewardly opening channels for accommodating documents or other materials therein.

A furniture component arrangement includes a ganging bracket useful for securing a pair of adjacent flanges of adjacent office furniture components in a workstation. The ganging bracket includes ganging parts that are designed for positioning about flanges projecting outwardly from a back wall extending along a length of an office furniture component. The ganging parts each include a male section including a flange slot, a female section forming a female slot, and a vertical offset joining the male section and the female section. The ganging parts also include a substantially identical second ganging part. Each of the ganging parts also includes a channel, aligned with the vertical offset and extending along a portion of the ganging part.

A knock-down file cabinet and in particular, a vertical file cabinet wherein both the cabinet housing and each of the drawers have a knock-down construction. The drawers use either separate components that are slidably fitted together, or a single sheet of material that defines the bottom, side and back walls. Each drawer construction is usable within the cabinet housing so as to define a complete knock-down vertical file cabinet which can be readily shipped in a relatively, compact container or package and thereafter assembled together.

Knock-down vertical file

A frame arrangement for use with an interior space-dividing wall system including portable upright panel assemblies. The frame arrangement includes upright post assemblies in supportive engagement with the floor and a cross members which extend laterally between adjacent pairs of the post assemblies. The cross member mounts thereon a cable trough which may be utilized to carry cabling and to support a power distribution assembly including electrical receptacles for providing the panel assemblies with electrical power. The cross member and cable trough are adapted to prevent rotation of the cable trough during insertion and removal of plugs or jacks from the receptacles.

A knock-down file cabinet and in particular, a vertical file cabinet wherein both the cabinet housing and each of the drawers have a knock-down construction. The drawers use either separate components that are slidably fitted together, or a single sheet of material that defines the bottom, side and back walls. Each drawer construction is usable within the cabinet housing so as to define a complete knock-down vertical file cabinet which can be readily shipped in a relatively compact container or package and thereafter assembled together.

An interior upright space-dividing wall system wherein portable upright panel assemblies are connected to one another through upright support posts, the latter having a foot for engagement with a floor. Each panel assembly includes a vertically elongate frame member which defines an upright end edge of the respective panel assembly and supports a panel connector member for joining the panel assembly to the support post. The panel connector members include upper and lower jaw members which engage in corresponding openings in a side wall of the support post. The support post includes a pair of connectors at a lower end thereof, each of which supports a lower end of one of the panel assemblies.

Post-panel connector arrangement

A lateral file cabinet includes an enclosure defined by top and bottom walls and first and second side walls which are spaced apart to define a hollow interior. The bottom wall includes a base panel formed of a wood fiber material such as particle board or chip board and the side walls include horizontal inward opening channels which receive opposite side edges of the base panel to define a structurally rigid connection therebetween. The base panel has a relatively high density which provides sufficient weight so as to completely or partially counter-balance the weight of a loaded file drawer to eliminate or reduce the weight of a separate counter-weight.
