  • Channel assembly to reduce worksurface sag
    Patent number: 12628942
    Abstract: A channel assembly configured to support a worksurface includes an outer channel having a first end and a second end opposite the first end. The outer channel decreases in height from the first end to the second end. The channel assembly also includes an inner channel configured to be connected to the worksurface, the inner channel having a third end and a fourth end opposite the third end. The inner channel increases in height from the third end to the fourth end. The inner channel is at least partially received in the outer channel such that the fourth end is positioned within the outer channel and the second end overlaps the inner channel. The inner channel is movable relative to the outer channel to adjust a width between the first end and the third end.
