  • Patent number: 4484426
    Abstract: A support system for landscape screens is disclosed in which the panels of an elevated or computer floor are provided with sockets which receive studs. The studs are mounted on tracks which, in turn, are secured to the lower side of the landscape screen. The tracks permit the studs to be located at various positions along the landscape screen so that the studs can be positioned within the sockets in the floor panels. The floor panel sockets are eccentrically located so that they can be located in a plurality of positions by properly orienting the panel within the floor system. Various height adjusting means are disclosed for adjusting the height of the studs, and in turn the screen above the floor surface. Further, various structures are illustrated for anchoring the tracks to the landscape screens.
