  • Patent number: 6076308
    Abstract: A partition panel system including a partition frame with vertically spaced horizontal frame members defining first discrete attachment locations, a pair of horizontally spaced blades adjustably attached to selected ones of the first discrete attachment locations, the blades including opposing inner surfaces defining vertically spaced second discrete attachment locations, and shelves adjustably attached to selected ones of the second discrete attachment locations. This allows the shelves to be horizontally and vertically adjustably supported on the partition frame in a selected one of a variety of positions. At least one shelf has a front portion with edges that extend partially around in front of the blades, thus providing increased surface area. The shelves are supported on the blades by shelf supports. Connectors on the ends of the shelves are movable between engaged and disengaged positions for securely engaging the shelf supports.

  • Patent number: 5771954
    Abstract: A temporary office partition system is provided in which the partition is comprised of a plurality of partition panels, hinges, and bases. The panels are substantially flat, and have a bottom edge closely received in an associated partition base for support in a freestanding, substantially vertical, upright position. The base comprises at least two spaced-apart support portions disposed in a horizontally spaced relationship defining a panel receiving slot in which the panel is received. The base is supported on a floor surface in abutting fashion by laterally spaced-apart foot portions. Hinges comprising two oppositely outward facing U-shaped channels are shaped to closely receive the side edges of the panels and the U-shaped channels are interconnected by a flexible web to permit adjacent panels to be positioned in a mutually angular relationship.
