  • Patent number: 6253509
    Abstract: A workspace partition system, for example, for an office building includes a relocatable cable raceway that can be positioned selectively at the belt line or at the baseline of a wall panel of the system depending on where power and data communications are required. Each wall panel of the system includes a structural frame. A raceway element can be selectively coupled to the frame in co-operation with any transverse member of the frame. Front and rear cover plates can be attached to mechanically protect cabling within the raceway. This design allows the panel to be reconfigured on site to change the location of the raceway.

  • Patent number: 6216398
    Abstract: A selectively reconfigurable wall system for use in a work environment is disclosed. The work environment provides at least a first work space and a second work space. The wall system is configured to control access to the work spaces and is adapted for association with a frame system having a plurality of floorstanding posts and overhead beams. The wall system includes an articulating partition adapted for mounting to a vertical member and for selective positioning between a first position and a second position. The articulating partition in the first position increases the relative level of privacy provided by the first work space, and the articulating partition in the second position increases the relative level of privacy provided by the second work space.
