Abstract:
A frame-type desk system, comprising a common core which has a longitudinal axis and which includes an interior raceway extending longitudinally from one end of said core to an opposite end of said core; at least one work top extending outwardly from one side of said core so as to define at least one work station; a supporting panel mounted on said core and having a side which includes mounting means for mounting a plurality of accessories therefrom in a cantilevered fashion substantially above said raceway, said side of said supporting panel facing said at least one work station such that accessories mounted therefrom extend towards said at least one work station; a plurality of stanchions, each of which extends into said raceway from said one side of said core, each adjacent pair of stanchions defining an equipment bay which is located in said raceway between said one end and said opposite end of said core and which extends longitudinally along said one side of said core, said equipment bay being sized and shaped so as to receive electronic equipment therein, said plurality of stanchions being spaced from said supporting panel in a direction substantially transverse to said longitudinal axis of said core such that a channel is formed in said raceway between said plurality of stanchions and said supporting panel, whereby electrical or communication cables can be fed through said channel to electronic equipment housed in said equipment bay or supported from said supporting panel; and at least one horizontal strut member extending substantially transverse to said longitudinal axis from one of said stanchions, wherein said supporting panel is attached to said at least one horizontal strut member.
