Abstract
A modular panel system for the purpose of partitioning spaces. The modular panel system includes at least one panel, and a plurality of panel supports. Each panel support includes a member, a cap at a first end, a base at a second end, and a panel retaining arrangement. The base is shaped to support the member in a free-standing upright position. The panel retaining arrangement serves to permit the attachment and removal of an appropriately configured edge of a vertically oriented panel between the cap and the base without the use of tools, and the rotational movement of the panel about an axis defined by the edge.
