Abstract
A modular furniture system is shown which features a series of panels which can be manufactured and shipped in a knock-down condition. Various connecting accessories provide improved wire management capabilities and allow a variety of modular configurations to be assembled from a small number of component parts. An improved connector allows vertical support panels of adjacently arranged modules in the system to be connected without requiring holes to be drilled in the exposed edges thereof.
Claims4
In a recinfigurable desk furniture system of the type having at least two modules adapted to be interconnected, each module including a desk top panel having an upper surface defined by a peripheral edge for supporting materials thereon and a front vertical support panel having an outer planar surface, an inner planar surface, a top edge in contact with the desk top panel, a bottom edge and opposing side edges which define opposite extents of the front vertical support panel, the improvement comprising:
- a pair of reversible, side vertical support panels assembleable to either of the opposite extents of the front vertical support panel, each of the reversible, side vertical support panels having an outer planar surface, an inner planer surface, a top edge contactable with the desk top panel, a bottom edge and opposing side edges;
- a pair of removable completion strips assembleable between a selected opposing side edge of each reversible, side vertical support panel and an inner planar surface of the front vertical support panel when the front vertical support panel is flush with the peripheral edge of the desk top panel, the completion strips being removable to allow the front vertical support panel to be recessed with respect to the peripheral edge of the desk top panel.
