Abstract:

An adaptable cable management desk system comprising a frame assembly including at least one static leg. At least one interleg is releasably connected to the frame assembly, each interleg being movable along the length of the frame assembly. A monitor beam having a proximal edge is supported by the frame assembly and a work surface having a distal edge is spaced apart from the proximal edge of the monitor beam. A cableway for running wires and cabling is defined by the proximal edge of the monitor beam and the distal edge of work surface. An access flap is pivotally connected to the proximal edge of the monitor beam and movable from a closed position covering the cableway to an open position providing access to the cableway. A front gully is attached to the distal edge of the work surface and a rear gulley is attached to the proximal edge of the monitor beam, wherein liquid spilled on the work surface and access flap will flow into at least one of the front and rear gully to protect wiring and cabling from the liquid. A door panel is pivotally connected to the static leg or interleg using at least one spring-biased quick release hinge to facilitate removal of the door panel. The door panel may include an inwardly projecting support surface for supporting a computer, the support surface having a plurality of wheels to permit movement of the door panel and support surface relative to the frame assembly. Alternatively, shelves, a file cabinet or other storage may be attached to an inner surface of the door panel and move with the door panel relative to the frame assembly.

International Classification:

A47B 4700

US Classification:

3122654

Abstract:

A desk frame (1) for trader desks is provided comprising a first lateral support (2), a first vertical support (5), and a first cross support (11) interconnected to each other at respective ends, a second lateral support (21) superposed onto the first lateral support (2), a diagonal support (23) interconnected to the second lateral support (21) and inclined at an angle with respect to an axis of the second lateral support (21), and a third lateral support (24) interconnected to the diagonal support (23). Supports may be interconnected to each other by three-way corner connectors (67) or angled connectors (73), and they may be directly connected to one another by means of an insert (20) seated within an indentation of a support and a fastener engaging the insert.
