  • Publication number: 20020129576
    Abstract: A space dividing system includes a column and a series of partition panels adapted for interconnection with the column. The column includes an internal passage, and is adapted to receive wiring from a building for supplying power to a receptacle arrangement interconnected with the column. Adjacent panels are connected to the column at spaced locations, and the receptacle arrangement is exposed between the adjacent panels. The column includes a structural skeleton to which the receptacle arrangement is mounted, and a series of covers are releasably engaged with the structural skeleton for finishing the aesthetic appearance of the column. An adjustable height mounting arrangement is interconnected with the upper end of the column for connection to a ceiling to stabilize the upper end of the column. Each panel is in the form of a frame defining an opening within which a core is received.

  • Patent number: 6415723
    Abstract: A folding table or desk includes a table top, a pair of spaced apart legs, and a wire management structure pivotably mounted to the table top and located between the legs. The wire management structure includes a front panel assembly having an opening, and an access member is pivotably mounted to the front panel assembly for movement between an open position, a closed position and a collapsed position. The front panel assembly can be folded against the underside of the table top and the access member can be pivoted to its collapsed position relative to the front panel assembly, and the legs are foldable over the wire management structure to provide a compact envelope for the folded components of the table assembly. The front panel assembly includes a cross brace member which is engageable with the legs when the wire management structure is in its operative extended position, to impart rigidity to the table assembly.

  • Patent number: 6167579
    Abstract: A furniture system includes a bed section and a work and storage section, each of which includes spaced end frame assemblies defined by corner posts and cross-members. The corner posts of each section can be stacked using a connector member to provide a loft bed configuration, and various storage or work components, such as a desk, are connectable to the posts below the bed. The posts include inwardly and outwardly facing recesses, and spaced vertical slots are formed in one of the recess walls. The bed includes rails having end tabs engageable within selected slots for adjustably securing the bed rails to and between the posts. The storage components and the desk also include bracket structure having tabs engageable within the post slots for adjustably mounting such components to the posts.

  • Patent number: 5934623
    Abstract: A conductor management assembly for use in receiving and concealing a plurality of conductors comprises an elongated furniture component having a longitudinal recess defined by two or more recess walls. A series of spaced slots is formed in at least one of the recess walls. A conductor mounting bracket is removably mountable to the furniture component by means of at least one tooth formed in the mounting bracket. The tooth is removably engageable with at least one of the slots. The mounting bracket and furniture component define an internal space for receiving and concealing conductors routed along the furniture component. The mounting bracket is constructed and arranged to permit access to the internal space without removing the mounting bracket from the furniture component.
