Arrangement for hard wiring movable room divider panels

An arrangement for electrically interconnecting at least two movable room divider panels, comprising:

• at least two wireways adapted for connection with a different one of said panels along a free edge thereof;
• said wireways including means for enclosing electrical wiring in the wireway;
• and
• a panel-to-panel wiring connector extending between and connected with said wireways, and including an elongate body with a protective outer shell and a longitudinally extending interior cavity therethrough shaped for receiving the wiring therein;
• said protective outer shell being made of a substantially inelastic material;
• said connector body having a split construction which permits opening the protective outer shell, laying the wiring in said interior cavity, and closing the outer shell about the wiring, and including open ends communicating with said wireways, whereby said wiring connector is adapted to form a shield about the wiring for hard wiring the room divider panels;
• said connector being deformable for manually bending the same into an angular relationship commensurate with the angular relationship between said wireways.

A panel-to-panel wiring connector for electrically interconnecting two movable room divider panels of the type having isolated electrical wiring raceways disposed adjacently in an end-to-end relationship when the panels are assembled, said connector comprising:

• an elongate body adapted for extending between the room divider panels, and having a protective outer shell, and a longitudinally extending interior cavity therethrough shaped for receiving electrical wires therein;
• said connector body having a split construction which permits said protective outer shell being made of a substantially inelastic material;
• opening said protective outer shell, laying the wires in said interior cavity, and closing said protective outer shell about the wires;
• said connector body further having opposing legs for connection with an associated one of the room divider panels, and including open ends for communicating with the wiring raceways of said adjacent panels thereby forming a secure enclosure for shielding the wires for hard wiring the same;
• said connector body being deformable for manually bending the same into an angular relationship commensurate with the angular relationship between adjacent room divider panels.
