Abstract: A furniture component includes a base having a back wall with a first outer vertical face, a first inner vertical face and a first upper edge. A pair of horizontally spaced apart side walls each have a second outer vertical face, a second inner vertical face and a second upper edge. The first and second upper edges are substantially coplanar. An outer top includes a bottom surface spaced above the first and second upper edges and defines a visible gap therebetween. The outer top has a rear edge and a pair of horizontally spaced apart side edges. The rear edge and the first outer vertical face are substantially coplanar, and the side edges and second outer vertical faces are substantially coplanar. A method of assembling and using the furniture component are also provided.

Abstract: A work space system including a plurality of work areas. A work area includes a spine wall, a first wall adjacent to the spine wall and extending from the spine wall, and a second wall adjacent to the first wall and including an entrance to the work area. The height of the second wall is greater than the height of the first wall, and the height of the first wall is greater than the height of the spine wall.

Abstract: An office organization system comprises a plurality of units, each unit including a first, vertically-oriented frame which forms a closed loop, and a second, vertically-oriented frame which is spaced from and congruent with the first frame. Secured to each of the first and second frames is at least one utility member.

Abstract: A light fixture mounts on a pair of support bars which are disposed directly below a shelf and extend transversely thereof so that the bar ends are supported on edge channels associated with the shelf. The light fixture has, on the ends of the fixture housing, mounting brackets for engaging the support bars. The mounting brackets are adjustable relative to the housing to vary the angular position of the light fixture.

Abstract: A work station having a cabinet structure mountable on a wall and positionable above a work surface, the cabinet structure being adapted to store and facilitate utilization of a computer printer. The cabinet has a front door which hinges upwardly to provide access to the interior of the cabinet, the latter having two interior shelves. The upper shelf mounts thereon a printer, and the next lowermost shelf supports thereon a paper web which is fed upwardly through a slot in the rear edge of the upper shelf for supply to the printer. The web of paper discharged from the printer passes rearwardly and then downwardly through slots in the shelves for collection below the paper supply shelf. A third shelf is preferably provided below the paper supply shelf for collecting the paper thereon discharged from the printer.

Abstract: A work surface is mounted on a pair of brackets which are releasably mounted on and project outwardly in cantilevered relationship from a panel adjacent the opposite ends thereof. The work surface, in each end rail thereof, mounts a manually-actuated latching lever which is biased down into latching engagement with the respective bracket. The latching lever prevents the work surface from moving away from the panel and from being lifted upwardly adjacent its rear edge. The latching lever has the end thereof accessible from beneath the rear edge of the work surface so as to be manually moved upwardly to release the work surface from the bracket, whereupon the work surface can be slidably displaced outwardly away from the panel through a limited extent. When the work surface is manually slidably moved forwardly toward the panel, the latching lever automatically re-engages its respective bracket.
