A magnetic decorative cover for metal office furniture. The cover
is a lamination of a decorative layer to a magnetic sheet. The decorative
layer is selected from a wide variety of materials to provide a
desired appearance, to coordinate an office decor, or to blend office
furniture together. Suitable decorative materials include fabric,
vinyl, leather, wood veneer, marker-board surface, and high-pressure
laminate. In the preferred manufacturing method, the laminated materials
are laser cut and/or die cut to provide crisp, sharp, non-raveling
edges.
A raceway system is disclosed. The raceway system includes a first
office furniture panel and a second office furniture panel angularly
positioned relative to the first office furniture panel, a base
cap mountable to the first office furniture panel and the second
office furniture panel, at least one corner raceway section positionable
adjacent the base cap, and a cover securable to the base cap. The
base cap has at least one aperture for wiring to pass therethrough.
The corner raceway section has a channel extending axially therethrough,
and the corner raceway section allows the wiring to pass vertically
through the aperture and the channel.
A panel frame and an acoustical insert frame assembly therefor
for office furniture space divider systems, which, as assembled,
can be utilized in work stations for both sound attenuation and
data and communication cable and wire equipment connection masking
and pass through purposes as well as masking of slack purposes,
in which the panel frame is formed by rigid top, bottom, and side
rails to define an open center structure therebetween of quadrilateral
configuration that forms the panel frame, and has the usual front
and rear sides; the insert frame assembly is mounted on the panel
frame to complete the panel, as by being mounted on the front side
of the frame, or by having a separate but similar insert frame assembly
mounted on the rear side of the frame; each insert frame assembly
comprises a supplemental frame that seats within the panel frame
open center and mounts within the supplemental frame composite material
that both effects sound attenuation and, within the metes and bounds
of the supplemental frame, presents an area of and through the insert
frame assembly that is cutable, and in "the field" if
desired after installation, to form aperturing for local accommodation
of data and communications cabling and wiring, as for slack take
up of same within the panel, or for pass through purposes through
the panel, or both, with the location or locations of such aperturing
thus being at the option of the panel user.
A modular powerway is provided for electrifying office furniture
units and the like, such as freestanding partition panels, systems
furniture elements, and modular furniture units of the type having
a utility raceway associated therewith. The powerway includes a
housing shaped for reception within the utility raceway of the office
furniture unit and electrical conductors mounted in the housing.
At least one power tap or receptacle supplies electrical power from
the powerway to electrical appliances, such as computers, typewriters
and other similar devices. A power terminal is mounted in one end
of the housing, and includes a set of quick-disconnect power connectors.
A flexible flag connector has one end mounted in the opposite end
of the housing, and includes a flag terminal at its free end with
a set of quick-disconnect power connectors that separably mate with
the quick-disconnect power connectors on the power terminal of an
adjacent powerway to electrically interconnect the powerways.
