Abstract
An electrical energy supply system for space divider systems in which a plurality of upright wall panels are arranged end-to-end so as to form at least one work station, and in which the panels are mounted on downwardly extending leg supports. The energy supply system is an under-the-wall system in which the components of the system are located below the wall panels and in the spaces occupied by the leg supports. The system consists of a plurality of connected sections, each section corresponding to a wall panel forming the work station, thereby facilitating assembly of the energy supply sections with the wall panels. Each energy supply section has the ability to deliver electrical energy to a point in the work station and each section is connectable to one or more sections corresponding to one or more wall panels in the work station or an adjacent work station to enable an efficient distribution of energy to desired points in the space divider system.
