Abstract: A configurable workstation for communication equipment has a primary support assembly and may have one or more secondary support assemblies behind the primary support assembly to define separate zones that are automatically adjustable in elevation by a motor drive system independently of one another and in synchronization with each other. The primary support assembly may have a work deck, an equipment rack, or a conference table. Each secondary support assembly has an equipment rack. The zones are separated by gap regions permitting recessed positioning of equipment and heat dissipation from a base of the workstation in which computer equipment may be stored. The configurable workstation allows operators to see and be seen, and facilitates ergonomically beneficial positioning of equipment.

Abstract: A support beam and a support frame for an office furniture system which can be used to mount and support a variety of furniture system components and electrical and communication equipment. The support beam has an elongate, hollow lower beam section with a top panel and vertical side panels. An elongate upper beam rail having a top extends parallel to and spaced-apart from the lower beam section. This rail has a plurality of post-receiving holes formed in its top for mounting other components such as a support wall. Spaced apart posts rigidly connect the beam rail to the lower beam section. Rail connecting devices are provided at opposite ends of the beam rail for rigidly connecting it to an adjacent end of another beam rail or to the support frame. The support frame has a horizontal metal beam and two elongate, hollow end frame sections extending downwardly from opposite ends of the beam. A raceway is rigidly mounted on a lower portion of this beam and extends downwardly therefrom.

Abstract: A work station suitable for mounting electrical, communication and computer equipment has a hollow support beam capable of supporting work surfaces and equipment on one side of the beam. Legs mount the beam in a horizontal position above a floor. Support brackets are detachably connected to a side of the beam and work surface members are mounted on these brackets. A support wall is detachably mounted on top of the beam and this wall has rigid metal side panels with rails for attaching shelving and other devices. Each support bracket has an arm supporting section extending perpendicular to the length of the bracket and an upwardly and forwardly extending front section connected to the forward position. The work surface members are connected to this front section.

Abstract: A work station suitable for mounting electrical and/or communication equipment including a straight, elongate hollow support beam of rectangular cross-section. Hollow support legs mount the beam in a horizontal position above a floor. Support brackets are detachably connected to one or both sides of the beam and these brackets include vertical leg portions that are bolted to the side of the beam and further arm portions that extend outwardly and upwardly. Rigid work surfaces are mounted on outer sections of the outwardly and upwardly extending arm portions. The work surfaces are positioned horizontally away from and above the top of the support beam. A housing can be provided to mount display and key pad equipment on the beam side of the work surface so that a lower portion of the display and key pad equipment is positioned below a horizontal plane defined by the top of the work surface.
