Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9824990A2] A modular tile and modular tile system are disclosed. The tile has a horizontal portion, upper column members and four support legs which engage the floor to provide a lower chamber. A cover is supported by upper column members and create an upper chamber adapted to receive cabling. The modular tiles have a connecting point at each corner. A modular tile system has at least two modular tiles arranged at a common point. A tile connect releasably connects the modular tiles in a platform configuration. In another embodiment, work environment elements are configured on the modular tile platform. Each modular tile includes an array of apertures adapted to receive a protruding portion of an indexing element associated with a work environment element. In another embodiment, the modular tile system distributes electrical power. An electrical connector transmits electrical power to a first modular tile circuit defined by a first and a second conductor. A modular tile connect electrically connects the first circuit to a second modular tile.
