  • Patent number: 10258157
    Abstract: A functional rail system is mounted to the top of a modular office panel and supports a worksurface on the rail with the worksurface locked in position along the rail. The rail includes a channel in the upper surface for receiving an accessory, and a side accessory slot for mounting the worksurface. The worksurface may be mounted via an upper bracket and a lower bracket interfitted with each other and the side accessory slot to frictionally lock the brackets in place along the longitudinal length of the slot.

  • 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: 6550875
    Abstract: A storage cabinet assembly which is mounted on a worksurface by one or more support stanchions which project generally upwardly from the worksurface adjacent an edge thereof. The support stanchions position the storage cabinet in upwardly spaced relation from an upper surface of the worksurface and so that the rear side of the cabinet is generally vertically aligned with the edge of the worksurface. The storage cabinet includes one or more horizontal shelves which are adapted to mount upright divider elements thereon which define upwardly and sidewardly opening channels for accommodating documents or other materials therein.
