Beam-type work station system

A work station suitable for mounting electrical and/or communication equipment comprising a straight, elongate hollow support beam suitable as a passageway for wiring, said beam being generally rectangular in transverse cross-section with its long sides, as the beam is viewed in said cross-section, extending vertically, the bottom of said support beam having a number of evenly spaced openings along its length;

• support legs for mounting said beam horizontally above a floor so that the top of said beam is no more than two feet above said floor, top end portions of said support legs being inserted into selected ones of said openings in order to mount said beam on said suppport legs;
• means for securing said top end portions of said legs in said support beam;
• support brackets each detachably connected to a side of said beam, said brackets including arm portions with inner sections that extend outwardly and upwardly and outer sections that extend from top ends of said inner sections;
• work surface means mounted on said outer sections and positioned horizontally away from and above said support beam;
• and enclosure means for mounting said equipment on said inner sections of said arm portions so that at least a lower portion of said equipment is positioned below a horizontal plane defined by the top of said work surface means, said enclosure means being located on said inner sections.

A work station suitable for mounting electrical and/or communication equipment comprising a straight, elongate support beam;

• support legs for mounting said beam in a horizontal position above a floor;
• support brackets each connected to said beam and extending outwardly from a side thereof, said brackets including arm portions with inner sections that extend outwardly and upwardly and outer sections that extend horizontally and outwardly from top ends of said inner sections, work surface means mounted on said outer sections and forming a flat work surface;
• and equipment housing means directly mounted on said inner sections of said support brackets, said housing means including a housing member having a top panel located above the plane defined by said work surface, a rear panel, and a bottom panel and removable end walls;
• said housing member further including means for attaching a similar housing member to one end thereof after removal of one of said end walls from the first mentioned housing member.

A work station suitable for mounting electrical and/or communication equipment comprising a straight, elongate, hollow support beam of generally rectangular cross-section;

• hollow support legs for mounting said beam in a horizontal position above a floor;
• said beam having a number of openings in the bottom thereof in which are inserted top end portions of said legs for the support of said beam, the width of said top end portions corresponding closely to the horizontal width of the interior of said beam;
• means for detachably connecting said top end portions to said beam upon insertion;
• and support brackets for mounting said equipment on said support beam, said brackets being connected to a side of said beam.
