ABSTRACT:
A frame for a modular piece of office furniture allows electrical cords of appliances on the top of the furniture to be connected to power through the frame at the closest point possible. Each modular element includes a metallic shaped tube 1 having a horizonal upper face 1b to be fixed to the top 2 of the furniture, a substantially vertical rear face 1a and an ornamental front face 1c. The upper face 1b and the front face 1c are spaced by a slot 3 under the edge of the top. All electric power leads feeding appliances located on the top are received, guided and concealed in the shaped tube 1. The connection between each of the appliances and its corresponding power lead runs through the slot at the point located closest to the appliances. The modular elements may be assembled as a frame serving the multiple purposes of providing support for the top of the piece of furniture, as well as receiving, guiding, protecting, and concealing all the electrical power leads. Each of the modular elements is assembled with a next modular element through an angle bracket fixed to the rear faces 1a of the shaped tubes 1.
