Abstract: A knock-down portable partition includes a rigid panel frame having a central portion. The partition includes at least one cover panel covering at least a portion of the central portion of the rigid panel frame. Connectors detachably mount the cover panel on the panel frame to facilitate assembly and removal of the cover panel on the panel frame. The rigid panel frame includes at least two vertical posts having an upper end, a lower end, and opposite side faces. The opposite faces have at least two beam connection ports thereon positioned adjacent the upper and lower ends of the associated one of the posts. The panel frame also includes upper and lower beams extending generally horizontally between the vertical posts adjacent the upper and lower ends thereof, and interconnecting the vertical posts adjacent the connection ports. The panel frame includes quick-disconnect connectors such as movable lock members positioned on one of the posts and the beams adjacent the connection ports.

Abstract: A wireless data communication system for establishing a data link between a portable communication device and an interface circuit, such as an interface circuit to a LAN, includes a plurality of transceivers in communication with a control circuit. Each of the transceivers is configured to transmit and receive wireless signals within a defined transceiver space. The plurality of transceiver spaces combine to define a communication space. The control circuit detects the presence of a wireless signal within the communications space by sequentially scanning the transceivers to determine which transceiver is receiving the signal. Once the signal is detected, the control circuit automatically locks onto the transceiver receiving the signal, thereby enabling establishment of a wireless data link between the communication device and the interface circuit. The control circuit continues to monitor the established data link to determine whether data communications are disrupted.

Abstract: A system of nestable chairs for use in a work environment is disclosed. The system includes a plurality of chairs. Each chair includes a base, a support coupled to the base, and a seat assembly coupled to the support and adapted for pivotal movement and for vertical adjustment with respect to the base. The base of a first chair of the plurality of chairs is configured to allow for nesting within the base of a second chair of the plurality of chairs. A chair for use in a work space or the like is also disclosed. The chair includes a base having a nesting portion and a nested portion, a support coupled to the base, and a seat assembly coupled to the support and adapted for pivotal movement and for vertical adjustment with respect to the base. The nested portion of the base is configured to allow for nesting within the nesting portion of the base. The chair may also include a support in the form of a pedestal coupled to the base.

Abstract: The information display system includes a base assembly adapted to attach to a mounting structure and a plurality of display panels coupled to the track system for movement with respect to the mounting structure. The display panels are adapted to present information selectively for display by pivotal and translating movement of the plurality of display panels. The track system may include at least one rail. The display panels may be cantilevered away from the track system at a vertical elevation to provide clearance below the display panels for a seated worker. A container may be adapted for coupling to the track system. The container may provide at least one display panel adapted to reveal or conceal information.

Abstract: A partition includes at least two vertical posts with upper and lower beams having opposite ends thereof interconnecting the vertical posts to define when in an assembled condition, a rigid panel frame having a substantially open interior. The panel frame defines a vertical dimension. At least one cover panel is configured to enclose at least a portion of the open interior of the panel frame, and is removably mounted on the panel frame to readily access the open interior thereof. The cover panel defines an interior surface and a center portion spaced-apart from the posts. A cover panel brace is connected with the upper beam, and has an outer surface abutting the interior surface of the cover panel to support the cover panel adjacent the center portion to prevent flexing of the cover panel. The cover panel brace is longitudinally extensible to accommodate variations of the vertical dimension between the upper and lower beams.

Abstract: A mounting structure for at least one display board is disclosed. The Display board includes a first mounting interface and a second mounting interface. The mounting structure includes a first pivotal interface including a barb adapted to engage the first mounting interface of the display board. The mounting structure also includes a second pivotal interface including a protruding member adapted to engage the second mounting interface of the display board. The display board may be removably pivotally mounted within the mounting structure at the first pivotal interface and the second pivotal interface. A mounting structure for display of at least one display board is also disclosed. The mounting structure includes a frame. The mounting structure also includes a platform for the display board coupled to the frame. The mounting structure also includes a compliant retaining system for the display board coupled to the frame.

Abstract: A partition system includes a freestanding partition system having a pocket-defining partition, and a pocket door slidably supported on the partition system for movement into and out of the pocket. The door includes a door frame having a bottom section defining a cavity that opens downwardly, and a stiff plate-shaped light seal is operably positioned in the cavity for vertical movement by gravity between different positions as the light seal engages and rides along a floor surface. The door includes an adjustable door frame having a rectangular shape with generally square corners and straight sides, but a trailing stile of the door frame is longitudinally adjustable such that, when adjusted, the rectangular shape changes to an orthogonal shape where at least one of the sides of the door frame is angularly distorted from the rectangular shape. This allows the door frame to be adjusted to better fit a door opening.
