Abstract: Arrangements for forming working areas or workstations equipped with supply connections for power, gaseous and/or liquid media, communication connections and monitoring connections and the like, in laboratories, production locations and the like, wherein all supply means are combined in fixedly mounted connecting devices while the actual working surfaces are formed by selectable working and standing position elements that can be freely set up and grouped as desired, with respect to the connecting devices. The position elements are free of any connections. Discharge or removal of the media is also effected by way of a system which is laid out in accordance with a predetermined pattern. Additional removal or discharge elements may be arranged in a row with the working and standing position elements or alternately the removal or discharge devices may be incorporated into the connecting devices.

Abstract: A service and supply stand is basically formed as an upright column having a front wall, a back wall, and a pair of opposite sides. A plurality of lines are provided in the column for conduction of fluids and electricity and a plurality of connection plates form a portion of the front wall and carry respective groups of connections connected to these lines. A horizontal support rail is carried on the column adjacent the connection plates and a device housing is secured to one of the sides and projects laterally from the column. Another horizontal support rail is also carried on the device housing. The column has a core formed with upright and longitudinal passages through which the various supply lines run. It is of rectangular section and it is possible for the back wall and sides of the column to be also adapted to carry such connection plates. Normally only the front and back wall are adapted to carry such connection plates and the sides only are adapted to carry the housing.
