Patent ID: 7357086

Claim:
A modular system of power and/or data and/or communications components comprising: a first structure into which at least one of data, power or communications means is brought into the modular system and distributed; at least one work station; at least one second structure, having a first end and a second end, the second structure spanning between a first structure and a work station with the first end being located proximate the first structure and the second end being located proximate the at least one work station, for accepting the at least one data, power or communications means and making at least one of data, power or communications means available to the at least one work station; and at least one connection means on the second structure at the first end and/or the second end, pivotally connected to either the first structure or the at least one work station or both, allowing the first structure and the at least one work station to be spaced apart by the length of the at least one second structure, along a rotational arc generally parallel to the surface that the first structure and the at least one work station are on, having a locus at the point of connection to the first structure and/or the at least one work station, the work station being movable to a plurality of locations apart from the first structure by the length of the second structure, while in connection therewith, whereby the first structure and the at least one work station can remain in data, power or communications connection, throughout a configuration and a subsequent reconfiguration of the modular system of the first and second structure, through the second structure.
