Abstract (en)
[origin: WO9719617A2] A modular desk positioned on a floor includes a worksurface member, a pair of legs and a module maintainer. The worksurface member has a front edge, a back edge, a top surface and a bottom surface. Each leg is mounted to the bottom surface of the worksurface member. The module maintainer includes a pair of support members and a generally vertical wall extending between the support members. The generally vertical wall runs substantially the length of worksurface member. The wall has a boundary surface which is the most rearward surface of the desk and a bottom edge spaced apart from the floor. The wall is also spaced apart from the back edge of the worksurface member to thereby allow for the passage of cables between the vertical wall and the back edge. Another aspect of the invention is a modular power unit mounted to a bottom of the module maintainer. The power unit includes a power distribution system disposed in a housing.
[origin: WO9719617A2] A modular desk (2) includes a worksurface member (10), a pair of legs (20) and a module maintainer (30). The worksurface member has a front edge (16), a top surface (12) and a bottom surface (14). Each leg is mounted to the bottom surface of the worksurface member. The module maintainer includes a pair of support members (40) and a generally vertical wall (48) extending between the support members. The generally vertical wall runs substantially the length of the worksurface member. The vertical wall has a boundary surface (32) which is the most rearward surface of the desk and a bottom edge (51) spaced apart from the floor. The vertical wall is also spaced apart from a back edge (18) of the worksurface member to thereby allow for the passage of cables between the vertical wall and the back edge. Another aspect of the invention is a modular power unit (70) mounted to a bottom of the module maintainer. The power unit includes a power distribution system disposed in a housing (78).
