Partition construction including interconnection system and removable

Abstract

A partition construction includes a partition frame having opposing vertical edges and upper and lower frame members each defining a repeating pattern of configured apertures and holes extending horizontally between its vertical side edges. The configured apertures are '+' or 'T' shaped, and include at least a smaller lower section and an enlarged middle section. Cover panels are attachable to the partition frame by top locator/connectors that engage the smaller lower section of selected apertures in the upper frame member, and by bottom connectors that engage an upper one of the holes in the lower frame member. The cover panels are shaped to leave the enlarged middle section of the configured apertures open, so that they can receive a component-supporting bracket or an off-module partition supporting bracket to the primary partition frame. A U-shaped 'off-module' connector is provided having a pair of hooked legs for engaging a selected one of the apertures in the enlarged middle section thereof, and a rear section configured for connection to the end of an off-module partition frame. The partition frame includes a pair of leveling members each including downwardly disposed end sections. A floor channel is provided having a locking wall spaced above a floor-engaging wall. The locking wall includes key hole apertures having a large end for vertically receiving the end sections of the leveling members and further having a small end for horizontally receiving the end sections of the leveler. The locking wall includes marginal material around the small end for engaging a recess on the end sections of the leveler to retain the leveler in the key hole apertures.
