(57) An improved and more versatile space divider system for open office interiors includes
as a major component a structure beam or spine (40) supported at each end by vertically
adjustable legs (42). Feet (108) on the legs (42) provide the required lateral stability
to support or hand components such as work surfaces (72), filing systems (77) and
the like from the beam (40). Each beam includes two enclosed electrical ducts (44,
46) on the top thereof superjacent work surface height, such ducts being provided
for power and communication wiring respectively, with the latter being above the former
and laterally enlarged. The power wiring duct (44) is prewired with outlets (50) on
both sides, while the communications wiring duct (46) includes both lateral (49) and
top (174) access. The legs (42) have a smooth exterior surface yet permit beams (40)
to be connected thereto at a wide variety of angles. Enclosures or fillets (190, 191)
for the beams and legs permit the ducts to pass through the legs fully enclosed. Each
beam may be provided with a midpoint connection (88) so that one beam may be connected
to and extend normal to the other without a leg beneath the point of connection. Posts
(52) extend upwardly from the beam (40) from which hanger bars (54) are secured for
suporting further accessories or acoustical panels (93). Accessories such as work
surfaces (72) may quickly hook onto a recessed hook channel (290) in the beam, such
accessories having a movable locking tab (313) to secure the hook (310) to the beam.
