  • Frame based office space dividing system
    Patent number: 5155955
    Abstract: An office space dividing system comprising office furniture components in combination with a plurality of structural rectangular frames having openings which may be left open or closed in varying degrees with a wide variety of fill options, which may be readily changed, to create the desired degree of privacy. The system combines the advantages of a full height office partition system with lockable doors, and an open plan panel system. An enlarged cornice accommodates both wiring and ambient lighting, with a cornice to ceiling space being left open or closed with a clerestory, as desired, without compromising the ability to install lighting fixtures and wiring. The rectangular frames have mitered stiles which, when assembled with other frames, and/or mitered fill pieces, create columns defining vertical wire ways which communicate with cornice wiring, work surface height wiring, and/or base wiring, as desired.
