ABSTRACT:
A furniture arrangement includes a hang-on furniture unit such as a worksurface, an upright support such as an office partition panel, and a system of brackets adapted to lockingly engage the upright support and support the hang-on furniture unit. The system of brackets includes a cantilever bracket with teeth adapted to engage slots in the upright support, and an upper edge for supporting the hang-on furniture unit. The system of brackets further includes a locking bracket adapted with second teeth, the first and second teeth being adapted to form an interlocking arrangement in the slots in the upright support. The locking bracket also includes a safety tab that engages a tab mount on the upper edge of the cantilever bracket, the safety tab being configured so that the second teeth must be properly located in the slots in order to allow the safety tab to engage the tab mount. The hang-on furniture unit is attached to the cantilever bracket and the locking bracket to form a rigid unit that cannot be inadvertently disengaged from the upright support. The locking bracket is reversible to minimize the number of parts that must be used.
