摘要： A utility distribution system is provided for modular furniture of the type comprising individual furniture units which are juxtaposed to form one or more workstations. A signal conductor is positioned in each furniture unit, and extends generally between opposite sides thereof. Quick-disconnect connectors are provided at the opposite ends of each of the signal conductors, and mate with like quick-disconnect connectors in adjacent furniture units to create a communications network through the workstations. Each furniture unit has a signaler physically associated therewith, which is connected with an associated signal conductor at a coupler. A network controller is operably connected to the network to evaluate the network and/or the associated furniture units. The furniture units may be equipped with one or more utility ports, which are connected with the coupler, and service utility appliances, such as personal computers, telephones, facsimile machines, switches, power outlets, data receptacles, and the like. The utility appliances preferably have memory capability to internally store operating instructions for the same, which are transmitted to the network controller when the utility appliance is initialized.

摘要： A multi-tiered electrical system is provided for furniture arrangements and the like of the type having a plurality of individual furniture units interconnected side-by-side. A branch raceway extends along each furniture unit, and houses therein an associated branch powerway, which is connected with adjacent branch powerways to create a branch circuit. Power taps are connected to the branch circuit to provide conventional low current power to electrical appliances. A feeder raceway extends adjacent each branch raceway, and houses therein a feeder harness that is connected by a power-in connector to a source of high current electrical power. A power jumper interconnects the feeder harness with one of the branch powerways, such that multiple branch circuits can be powered by a single power-in connector through the feeder harness.

摘要： An apparatus includes a ceiling channel, an elongated transom frame member, and an adapter configured to mateably engage both the ceiling channel and the transom frame member. Specifically, the adapter includes an upper end with horizontal and angled flanges shaped to engage mating wall sections on the ceiling channel, in a manner providing stability to the connection and also providing alternative attachment sites for receiving a screw fastener. A lower end of the adapter telescopingly engages a top end of the frame member, and includes a pair of spaced-apart flanges and a spreader screw that can be adjusted to flex the flanges and frictionally bind the flanges against mating wall sections on the transom frame member in a selected telescoped position on the frame member. The ceiling channel has down flanges defining a longitudinally extending recess for receiving an upper edge of a cover panel. Safety clips attached to the upper edge of the cover panel engage the ceiling channel. The safety clips have a flexible protruding member that moves to a non-interfering depressed position when the upper edge extends into the recess, but that moves to an extended position when the upper edge drops out of the recess. By this arrangement, the cover panel is retained to the ceiling channel, even when a catastrophic event occurs causing the upper edge of the cover panel to drop out of engagement with the ceiling channel.
摘要翻译：一种装置包括一个天花板通道，一个细长的横梁框架构件和一个适配器，可配置成可以与天花板通道和横梁框架构件交配。具体地，适配器包括具有水平和成角度的凸缘的上端，其被成形为接合天花板通道上的配合壁部分，以提供对连接的稳定性并且还提供用于接收螺钉紧固件的替代附接位置。适配器的下端可伸缩地接合框架构件的顶端，并且包括一对间隔开的凸缘和可以被调整以使凸缘弯曲并且将凸缘摩擦地结合在横梁框架上的配合壁部分的凸缘螺钉构件在框架构件上的选定的伸缩位置。天花板通道具有限定用于接收盖板的上边缘的纵向延伸的凹部的向下凸缘。安装在盖板上边缘的安全夹与天花板通道接合。当上边缘延伸到凹槽中时，安全夹具有柔性突出构件，该弹性突出构件移动到非干涉凹陷位置，但是当上边缘从凹槽中脱出时移动到延伸位置。通过这种布置，即使当发生灾难性事件导致盖板的上边缘脱离与天花板通道的接合时，盖板也被保持到天花板通道。

摘要： A power distribution system includes powerways and power outlets for positioning in a plurality of furniture units. The powerways may include a plurality of power blocks each having at least three hermaphrodite ports. The power blocks of each powerway are interconnected by flexible conductors. Outlet blocks for the system include a flexible conductor and a connector for connection to the port. The hermaphrodite ports are for connection with other power blocks, outlet blocks, and a power tap-in.
