Power and data supply column for a space dividing system

摘要

A space dividing system includes a column and a series of partition panels adapted for interconnection with the column. The column includes an internal passage, and is adapted to receive wiring from a building for supplying power to a receptacle arrangement interconnected with the column. Adjacent panels are connected to the column at spaced locations, and the receptacle arrangement is exposed between the adjacent panels. The column includes a structural skeleton to which the receptacle arrangement is mounted, and a series of covers are releasably engaged with the structural skeleton for finishing the aesthetic appearance of the column. An adjustable height mounting arrangement is interconnected with the upper end of the column for connection to a ceiling to stabilize the upper end of the column. Each panel is in the form of a frame defining an opening within which a core is received. Cover members are releasably engageable with the frame members, and overlie the core so as to releasably maintain the core in position within the opening. End caps are mounted to upper and lower ends of the side frame members, and are utilized to mount various connectors to the panels for interconnecting the panels together and for providing stacking of panels on top of each other.
