KNOCK-DOWN PANEL PARTITION SYSTEM

摘要

A space dividing or partitioning system (60) includes a series of panels (64) adapted to be knocked down and reconfigured. Each panel (64) includes a panel frame (66) constructed from a pair of vertical posts (70) interconnected by one or more horizontal support members (72). Each vertical post (70) includes a series of receptacles (108) aligned vertically along each face surface (106) of the vertical post (70). The receptacles (108) on the vertical post (70) receive attachment members (172) contained on each end of the horizontal support member (72). The horizontal support member (72) can be attached between a pair of the vertical posts (70) without requiring the vertical posts (70) to be separated. A tile retaining hook (228) is received within a hook opening (116) formed in the vertical post (70). The tile retaining hook (228) includes a hook portion (232) that is received in a hook channel (234) of a decorative tile (68), such that the decorative tile (68) can be hung on the panel frame (66) through the use of the tile retaining hooks (228). A base cover (318) is attached to the bottom horizontal support member (72) to create a wireway passing beneath the interconnected panel frames (66). Electrical hanging brackets (472) connect a rigid wireway (452) to the lower horizontal support member (72).
