Abstract: A mail sorting stand is of modular construction and includes two upright tubular frame members (1,1) and a shelving system consisting of a number of shelves (2) each of which comprises a lightweight tubular shelf frame. The shelves are connectable to the frame members by bracket parts (3) enabling the shelves to be mounted to and removed from the up right frame members from one side or from the front of the frame members. The frame members and preferably also the shelf frame parts are formed from lightweight metal tube, and the shelves include one or more trays (10) carried by the shelf frames.

Abstract: A work station which includes a chair and means to support pieces of equipment such as a personal computer, a printer and the like. The station has at least two upright stanchions (4,5) which project upwardly in a substantially parallel manner from a base (6). Sleeves (e.g. 8a) are engaged on the stanchions and the sleeves can act as spacers. Support members for the pieces of equipment are attached individually or in combination to a sleeve or sleeves so the support members will extend from the sleeves in a direction substantially normal to the longitudinal axis of the stanchions. The chair is supported between the stanchions at the desired height by being attached to the sleeves which are engaged on the stanchions. The work station can also include an electrical power reticulation system, a sound system and a lighting arrangement.
