ABSTRACT:
An adaptor housing assembly for mounting an adjustable height work surface to a wall panel of an open office furniture system. The wall panel has a pair of vertical slotted standards which are adapted to receive the hooks of a mounting bracket. The adaptor housing assembly mounts a height adjustable work surface to the vertical slotted standards of the wall panel by clamping a mounting bracket to an adaptor housing in which is mounted a height adjustment mechanism having a frame which is connected to the work surface. The adaptor housing is fixed with respect to the wall panel and the frame of the height adjustment mechanism moves vertically with respect to the wall panel to raise and lower the work surface. The channel guides the moving members of the mechanism to which the work surface is mounted. The adaptor housing has a pair of elongated flanges extending outwardly from one end of the adaptor housing to form a slot which receives an elongated plate having tapped holes. The mounting bracket is affixed to the adaptor housing by screws passing through the mounting bracket and into tapped holes in the elongated plate, thereby clamping the mounting bracket to the adaptor housing as the screws are tightened. The hooks of the mounting bracket engage the vertical slotted standards and support the adaptor housing to which the work surface is mounted by the height adjustment mechanism.
