Abstract: An article of furniture includes a frame to which is attached a removable panel having fixed fastening means adjacent its top and bottom edge. The bottom-most fastener means are pivotally engageable with fixed brackets on the frame while the top-most fastener means are insertable through the frame and subsequently locked in an assembled position by means of a reciprocal latch member operable only from within the confines of the furniture article.

Abstract: A locking mechanism for drawers in an article of furniture includes a unitary lock transfer rod fully disposed within the furniture top and provided with a plurality of axially spaced crank portions. Only those crank portions associated with drawer columns are attached to individual vertical lock bars each having one or more resilient lock dogs thereon whereby, subsequent arcuate displacement of any one of the crank portions is translated as a concurrent displacement of all crank portions and the attached lock bars to move the lock dogs into and out of engagement with striker means carried by the drawers.

Abstract: A portable wall assembly includes a plurality of panel members having vertical lateral edges releasably attachable to either square or round supporting posts by means of hook-type mounting clips projecting from the upper and lower portions of each panel vertical edge and insertable within the interior of the supporting posts prior to the actuation of a connector plug in the top thereof which is manipulated to produce expansion of the plug in a manner causing a rigid locking of the panels to the adjacent supporting posts.
