| (54) | Information display system |
| (57) An information display system is disclosed. A work environment providing a work area
and a workstation including the information display system are also disclosed. The
information display system includes a track system adapted to attach to a mounting
structure and a plurality of display panels coupled to the track system for movement
with respect to the mounting structure. The display panels are adapted to present
information selectively for display by pivotal and translating movement of the plurality
of display panels. The track system may include at least one rail. The display panels
may be cantilevered away from the track system at a vertical elevation to provide
clearance below the display panels for a seated worker. The information display system
may include a plurality of containers coupled to the track system for movement with
respect to the mounting structure, with each of the plurality of containers adapted
to include at least one display panel. Each of the display panels is adapted to present
information and the information can selectively be presented for display by movement
of the plurality of containers. Each of the display panels may include at least one
display board. A docking area may be positioned along the track system and configured
to at least partially conceal at least one of the display panels. A utility threshold
may be adapted for movement along a predefined path about the work area to selectively
deliver utilities to at least one portion of the work area. The work environment may
provide a work space that can be arranged or divided to include at least one work
area within the available floor space. In the work area, the display panels may be
moved from a first arrangement to at least a second arrangement. The first arrangement
allows one worker to use substantially all available floor space; the second arrangement
allows a plurality of workers to share the available floor space so as to facilitate
the utilization of the floor space by workers present in the work environment. |
