Abstract: The disclosure relates to a partition having vertical and horizontal frame members connected at a corner, each frame member having a web and side flanges each having a part extending inwardly to form with the web of panel receiving channel and a part extending outwardly to form a cap-receiving structure. Each frame member is provided with a pair of mounting flanges extending outwardly from the web, spaced from each other, and from the side flanges. The sides of each of the mounting flanges facing each other are provided with at least one groove. The frame members are mitered at the corners and abutted together so that their grooves meet at the corner. An angle member extends between the mounting flanges, fitting within grooves of the vertical and horizontal members of the corner and being connected to their webs to form a joint. A leg mounting bracket is provided extending between the mounting flanges and fitting within their grooves at the bottom of the vertical frame member and connected to each web.
Abstract: An improved space dividing panel and a space dividing assembly incorporating such panels. The panel has means along its bottom edge for use in supporting the panel and separate means on at least one end edge at the top and bottom for use in connecting the panel to another panel. Panels are connected together, at any angle, by simple post units to form space dividing assemblies. The post units comprise a simple tubular member having an adjustable top cap. The connecting means comprise brackets at the top and bottom edges which extend past the end of the panel and are insertable into the interior of the tubular posts. The top of each tubular post is adapted to receive a threaded cap member.
