ABSTRACT:
Disclosed herein is a new and improved laboratory furniture system including a free-standing, universal laboratory utility core module adapted to cooperate with one or more modular, adjustable C-frame laboratory bench supports, modular laboratory hood units, modular laboratory sink units, and like modular laboratory units to provide a fully serviced laboratory work center and/or equipment station. The utility core module comprises two pairs of spaced parallel vertical corner columns of predetermined modular height; two pairs of spaced reinforcing struts extending laterally between and connecting uppermost and lowermost portions of said pairs of columns; two pairs of spaced parallel horizontal beams connecting said two pairs of columns at the tops and bottoms thereof to form a parallelpiped service frame; a rectangular, planar top shelf means supported by the upper horizontal beams and closing off the top of said service frame; a full depth, central rectangular shelf means disposed beneath said top shelf means in a plane parallel to the plane of said top shelf means and supported by said corner columns; and a tunnel means of inverted-U shape cross-section supported beneath said central shelf means at any desired or necessary elevation above the lower horizontal beams.
The new laboratory furniture system is designed to be fully integrated with and to include support for and concealment of laboratory gas supply lines, plumbing lines such as acid vents and drains, electrical cables, special ventilating systems for heavier than air fumes, and other service lines required in the conduct of the entire spectrum of clinical laboratory tests.
