Furniture arrangement

A furniture unit for workstations, comprising:

• a worksurface including atop surface, a bottom surface, and marginal edges extending therebetween;
• a U-shaped rail attached to the bottom surface of said worksurface, and extending along at least one of said marginal edges, said rail including opposing sidewalls and a cross wall interconnecting said sidewalls, and further including a plurality of aligned pairs of first apertures in said opposing sidewalls;
• supporting means connected to said rail for supporting said worksurface at a predetermined height;
• a plurality of accessory units configured for use on said workstation;
• brackets including a bayonet-like leg for releasably engaging said aligned pairs of first apertures, said brackets being configured to releasably selectively mount at least one of said accessory units to said rail along the one marginal edge of said worksurface, and position said one accessory unit above said worksurface;
• and
• said cross wall being spaced from said worksurface thus creating a space defined by said sidewalls, said cross wall and the underside of said worksurface, said space being useful for receiving said means for releasably mounting said accessory unit, said cross wall including a depression extending longitudinally in said cross wall for receiving a fastener head, and further including holes in said depression for receiving a fastener shaft, whereby fasteners can be extended through one or more of said holes and into said worksurface for retaining said rail to said worksurface with the fastener heads being located in the depression in the cross wall in a position where the fastener heads do not interfere with resting the rail cross wall on the supporting means.

A furniture unit for workstations, comprising:

• a worksurface including a top surface, a bottom surface, and marginal edges extending therebetween;
• a rail attached to the bottom surface of said worksurface and extending along at least one of said marginal edges, said rail being U-shaped and including sidewalls and a cross wall connecting the sidewalls, said sidewalls engaging said bottom surface and said cross wall being spaced therefrom, said cross wall including a longitudinally extending recess and first apertures located in said recess so that headed fasteners can be extended through said first apertures into said worksurface to secure said rail to said worksurface with the heads of the headed fasteners being located in the recess, said rail sidewalls including second apertures adapted to receive fasteners for attaching mounting brackets thereto;
• a pedestal:
• a bracket for securing said rail to said pedestal;
• and
• bracket engaging fasteners securing said bracket to said rail, said bracket engaging fasteners engaging selected of said second apertures, whereby said rail reinforces and supports said worksurface and further said rail rests on said pedestal and is secured thereto with the heads of the headed fasteners being located in the recess so that the heads do not interfere with resting said rail on said pedestal and also so that said second apertures are exposed for attaching mounting brackets thereto.

A furniture unit for workstations and the like, comprising:

• a worksurface including a top surface, a bottom surface and marginal edges defined therebetween;
• a rail having a U-shaped cross section attached to said worksurface proximate to one of said edges, said rail including opposing sidewalls and a plurality of spaced apertures located longitudinally along said rail in both of said sidewalls;
• a plurality of accessory units adapted to equip said workstation;
• and
• a bracket for releasably mounting selected of said accessory units to said rail, said bracket including a bayonet-like leg releasably engaging one or more of said spaced apertures in each of said sidewalls and further including an accessory unit engaging end extending in cantilever from said rail for engaging and supporting said selected accessory units with said selected accessory units extending above said workstation, whereby said one or more accessory units can be selected and positioned along said rail on one or more of said brackets to personalize and equip said furniture unit as desired.

A furniture unit for workstations, comprising:

• a worksurface including a top surface, a bottom surface and marginal edges extending therebetween;
• a rail attached to the worksurface reinforcingly supporting same and being located proximate one of the edges, said rail including opposing sidewalls and a plurality of spaced first apertures located longitudinally along said rail sidewalls, said rail further including a plurality of second apertures;
• a base for supporting said worksurface at a predetermined height, said base including bracket means for attaching to said second apertures so that said worksurface is secured to said base but said rail sidewalls are exposed for selectively accessing said first apertures;
• and
• brackets having bayonet-shaped legs for mateably engaging said first apertures, said brackets being configured to support accessories proximate said top surface.
