  • Patent number: 10258156
    Abstract: An adjustable panel leg system in a low-profile design includes a foot, an upright leg for supporting an object such as a panel, and an upright adjustment mechanism disposed above the foot and between the foot and the upright leg to enable adjustment of the angle of the upright leg with respect to the foot. The upright adjustment mechanism may include a horizontal pin extending through a portion of the upright leg, such that the upright leg can pivot about the pin with respect to the foot. The upright adjustment mechanism may also include a tubular support extending upwardly from the foot. A portion of the upright leg extends into the opening of the tubular support. The pin extends through the tubular support and the portion of the upright leg such that the leg can pivot within the tubular support.

  • Patent number: 9816269
    Abstract: A connector arrangement for a wall panel system is provided which includes connector blocks that join serially-adjacent wall panel frames together in proper alignment with each other. These corner blocks also are matable with a system of spacer strips, light block strips, single-side trim covers and multi-side trim covers which enclose the connector blocks and connector structure. A corner spline arrangement is also provided between adjacent trim covers which spline extends vertically and defines a closed corner, right-angled corner between the interconnected trim covers.

  • Patent number: 8272180
    Abstract: An upright space-dividing wall panel is provided having an internal frame and a top cap attached to a top rail of the frame. The top cap includes a lengthwise channel in which threaded fasteners are slidably received for engaging the top cap to the frame rail. The top cap further includes side channels which cooperate with coupling brackets for securing a second panel to the wall panel. Further, a locator clip arrangement is provided between the top cap and a side trim cover on the end of the wall panel for precisely locating the trim cover relative to the top cap.

  • Patent number: 8176695
    Abstract: A wall panel frame arrangement is provided having vertical and horizontal frame rails for having a common cross-sectional profile which facilitates joining thereof at the corners of the frame. Additionally, an improved light block arrangement is provided as a rail which extends horizontally across the frame, which rail is also adaptable for use with respect to a support assembly for supporting power and data communication circuit components thereon. The bottom of the frame further includes connector arrangements which facilitate mounting of either a base raceway cover or a vertically-enlarged cover tile at the same base location of the panel frame.
