Modular furniture system with wire management

An office furniture system comprised of:

• a plurality of like-sized cabinet units each cabinet unit having
• first and second generally flat sides that can be positioned to face similar generally flat sides of adjacent like-sized cabinet units so as to form a linear course of cabinet units, said first and said second flat sides each having an aperture located therein that extends substantially across said flat side;
• and further in which each of said plurality of cabinet units in said course includes:
• a cabinet portion extending from said first flat side to said second flat side;
• and
• an open passageway located therewithin extending from said first flat side to said second flat side and located vertically adjacent to said cabinet portion, said open passageway alignable with at least one passageway in an adjacent like-sized cabinet unit so as to provide for an open passageway extending through said course for the distribution of cabling through, between and among said plurality of like-sized cabinet units;
• and
• one or more fastening apparatus for fastening adjacent like-sized cabinet units to each other.

An office furniture module comprising:

• a body portion having an upper surface, a first vertical side extending down from the upper surface, a second vertical side opposite from said first vertical side and extending down from the upper surface, and a rear vertical side connected to and extending from said first vertical side to said second vertical side, said rear vertical side also extending down from the upper surface;
• a removable top portion adapted for mounting to said body portion in a spaced relationship with respect to said upper surface thereof to define an upper horizontally extending passage way located above said upper surface between said top portion and said upper surface;
• a first optionally removable upper insert panel adapted to be mounted between said removable top portion and said body portion at a side thereof generally aligned with said first vertical side;
• a second optionally removable upper insert panel adapted to be mounted between said removable top portion and said body portion at a side thereof oriented in the direction of said second vertical side and generally aligned therewith;
• whereby the furniture module can be adapted for use with other like furniture modules to form a linearly extending course of furniture modules with the upper horizontally extending passageway of a furniture module communicating with the upper horizontally extending passageway of an adjacent furniture module for extending cabling therealong by the removal of facing upper insert panels of the adjacent furniture modules.

An office furniture system comprised of:

• a plurality of like-sized furniture modules each of said plurality of like-sized furniture modules comprising:
• a body portion having an upper surface, a first vertical side extending down from the upper surface, a second vertical side opposite from said first vertical side and extending down from the upper surface, and a rear vertical side connected to and extending from said first vertical side to said second vertical side, said rear vertical side also extending down from the upper surface;
• a removable top portion adapted for mounting to said body portion in a spaced relationship with respect to said upper surface thereof to define an upper horizontally extending passage way above said upper surface between said top portion and said upper surface;
• a first optionally removable upper insert panel adapted to be mounted between said removable top portion and said body portion at a side thereof generally aligned with said first vertical side;
• a second optionally removable upper insert panel adapted to be mounted between said removable top portion and said body portion at a side thereof oriented in the direction of said second vertical side and generally aligned therewith;
• and
• one or more connection apparatus for connecting adjacent like-sized furniture modules to each other.

An office furniture module comprising:

• a body portion having a lower end, a first vertical side extending up from the lower end, a second vertical side opposite from said first vertical side and extending up from the lower end, and a rear vertical side connected to and extending from said first vertical side to said second vertical side, said rear vertical side also extending up from the lower end;
• a bottom member adapted for mounting to said body portion in a spaced relationship with respect to said lower end thereof to define a lower horizontally extending passageway located above said lower end between said bottom member and said lower end;
• a first optionally removable lower insert panel adapted to cover a first lower opening in said body portion in said first vertical side communicating with the lower horizontally extending passageway;
• and
• a second optionally removable lower insert panel adapted to cover a second lower opening in said body portion in said second vertical side communicating with the lower horizontally extending passageway;
• whereby the furniture module can be adapted for use with other like furniture modules to form a linearly extending course of furniture modules with the lower horizontally extending passageway of a furniture module communicating with the lower horizontally extending passageway of an adjacent furniture module for extending cabling therealong by the removal of facing lower panel inserts of the adjacent furniture modules.
