Abstract (en)

A technical desk formed from a framework (24) for supporting a desk top work surface (38). To provide versatility in electrical wire handling, channel elements (30) defining wireways for holding electrical wires and associated components are releasably held by the framework. To mount the desk top work surface (38) in any of a plurality of vertical positions. the framework (24) is joined to a support panel (40) by a support plate structure (70, 72) that mounts the framework thereto. The support plate structure is held in any of a plurality of positions perpendicular to the desk top work surface by a track (64) on the panel, which track prevents movement of the support plate structure held thereby both parallel to and perpendicular to the desk top work surface (38). To facilitate passage of wires through a panel (40), the panel includes an opening (88) therein and a plurality of shutters (90) releasably held to close off the panel opening. One or more of the shutters may be removed to provide selected access to the panel opening. To facilitate further wire handling in the space between a panel (40) and an edge of a desk top (38), the panel is formed from a plurality of sections (42a, 42b) hinged to one another to permit one of the sections (42b) to move away from the desk top edge. A flexible material (112) non-adhered to the panel sections in the region of the hinging is employed, permitting the panel movement yet being stretched tight and showing no hinge line when the movable panel section is adjacent the desk top edge.
