Abstract:
An upright partition comprising an internal frame and a plurality of outer covers covering lateral sides of the partition,an inner cavity defined within the partition inwardly of the outer covers for passage of conduit,the outer covers having outer surfaces and inner surfaces,the outer covers coupled to the frame with their inner surfaces directed inwardly towards the frame, with their outer surfaces directly outwardly away from the frame and with the outer surfaces of outer covers on one lateral side of the partition disposed in substantially the same vertical plane,the outer covers on one of the lateral sides of the partition including two adjacent of the outer covers which are spaced from each other in the plane so as to form a vertically extending opening therebetween,a bridging cover coupled to the frame covering the opening when viewed horizontally and laterally from the one lateral side,the bridging cover having an outer surface and a recessed first portion,the outer surface of the bridging cover over at least the first portion located laterally inwardly from the inner surface of at least a first of the two adjacent outer covers such that a passageway is defined between the inner surface of the first adjacent outer cover and the outer surface of the bridging cover the passageway permitting passage of conduit between the bridging cover and the first adjacent outer cover from the interior cavity inward of the first adjacent outer cover, outwardly to the opening.
