Patent number: 6550875Abstract: A storage cabinet assembly which is mounted on a worksurface by one or more support stanchions which project generally upwardly from the worksurface adjacent an edge thereof. The support stanchions position the storage cabinet in upwardly spaced relation from an upper surface of the worksurface and so that the rear side of the cabinet is generally vertically aligned with the edge of the worksurface. The storage cabinet includes one or more horizontal shelves which are adapted to mount upright divider elements thereon which define upwardly and sidewardly opening channels for accommodating documents or other materials therein.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 2000Date of Patent: April 22, 2003Assignee: Haworth, Inc.Inventors: Cheryl C. Compton, Daniel C. K. West, Ricky D. Roels, Charles J. Saylor, Robert Clare Wayner, Mark Powell

Patent number: 6448498Abstract: A flexible raceway arrangement for routing power and/or communication cabling to a work area. The raceway arrangement includes an elongate support member which mounts thereon a plurality of raceway covers arranged along the support member in side-by-side relation with one another to define an elongate raceway run. The individual side covers are pivotably openable to provide access to cabling within the interior thereof.Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 2000Date of Patent: September 10, 2002Assignee: Haworth, Inc.Inventors: Steven Jay King, Charles J. Saylor, X. Shawn Yu, Clifford Wayne Nelson, Robert Clare Wayner, Barry Lee Andersen, David E. Emery

Patent number: 4370008Abstract: A portable, prefabricated panel adapted to be connected with a plurality of similar panels to form a wall or partition structure. The panel is electrically prewired and includes electrical power blocks disposed adjacent the opposite lower corners of the panel, which power blocks are connected by electrical cables which extend internally of the panel. When two or more panels are connected together, electrical power is transmitted between each adjacent pair of panels by a flexible electrical connector which plugs into the power blocks of the adjacent panels. The panel also has electrical sockets integrally associated therewith, which sockets are preferably associated with the power blocks. The power blocks are symmetrical so that the same electrical connections can be made on either side of the panel. A channel-like raceway extends along the bottom edge of the panel for permitting the hidden storage of communication cables.Type: GrantFiled: April 23, 1980Date of Patent: January 25, 1983Assignee: Haworth Mfg., Inc.Inventors: Richard G. Haworth, Charles J. Saylor, Harold R. Wilson

Patent number: 4155211Abstract: An upright space divider panel having a rigid rectangular frame, and first and second thin sheetlike skins fixed to opposite sides of the frame and extending across the region defined therein. A honeycomb core structure is disposed within the frame and confined between the skins. The honeycomb core structure comprises a cellular honeycomb layer having a plurality of cells formed therein and extending across the width of the layer, so that opposite ends of the cells are closed by the skins. The first and second skins are identical and each have a plurality of openings formed therethrough. The openings in the first skin communicate with a first plurality of the cells for forming a first plurality of sound absorbing chambers which open outwardly through one side of the panel. The openings in the second skin communicate with a second plurality of the cells for forming a second plurality of sound absorbing chambers which open outwardly through the other side of the panel.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 1977Date of Patent: May 22, 1979Assignee: Haworth Mfg., Inc.Inventors: Charles J. Saylor, Richard G. Haworth, Lyle F. Yerges

Patent number: 4084366Abstract: A movable, prefabricated wall panel having a rigid rectangular frame. A core structure is disposed within the region bounded by the frame, which core structure comprises at least one honeycomb layer. Sheetlike skins are fixedly secured to opposite sides of the frame and extend across the region bounded by the frame for confining the honeycomb layer therebetween. A plurality of small openings are formed in either or both of the skins so that approximately a single opening will communicate with a single cell as defined by the honeycomb layer. The opening and the cell are of a preselected size so as to function as a sound absorbing chamber. The sheetlike skins are also covered by a layer of fibrous sound absorbing material, preferably fiberglass.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 1975Date of Patent: April 18, 1978Assignee: Haworth Mfg., Inc.Inventors: Charles J. Saylor, Richard G. Haworth, Lyle F. Yerges

Patent number: 3990204Abstract: A wall system formed from a plurality of interconnected panels, which wall assembly incorporates an improved alignment structure coacting between the edges of adjacent panels for insuring proper vertical alignment of adjacent panels. The alignment structure includes an identical alignment member mounted on the vertical edge of each panel, which alignment member includes right and left portions each having a pair of substantially horizontal alignment plates disposed in vertically spaced relationship. The plates of the right and left portions are vertically offset so that one of the plates of the right portion is aligned with the slot formed between the plates of the left portion, and similarly one of the plates of the left portion is aligned with the slot defined between the plates of the right portion.Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 1975Date of Patent: November 9, 1976Assignee: Haworth Mfg., Inc.Inventors: Richard G.
