ABSTRACT:
A connector for an office partition panel which has a rectangular panel frame at the edges thereof and a wire management channel formed at an upper portion of the panel. The connector rigidly connects the rectangular panel frames together at the side edges and includes upper and lower wedge blocks on the panel edges and draw blocks adapted to grip the wedge block and draw the wedge blocks of adjacent frames together. A draw tube connects the draw blocks. A wire management channel is formed at an upper portion of the wedge blocks and at least one upper wedge block has a U-shaped configuration with a wedge surface formed at a bight portion of the U, the legs of the wedge block extend up along the upper sides of the panel and in registry with the wire management channel. A change-of-height connector which has a removable wedge block adapter can be mounted to the side of the panel frame for changing height without use of a spacer or corner. A draw tube can form a spacer or corner between adjacent panels. The draw tube is rectangular in cross-sectional configuration and can have cosmetic covers attached thereto. A filler extrusion can also be mounted to side portions of the draw tube between upper and lower wedge blocks to fill the space there-between. A base connector comprises a base plate, a base cover and a post. The base plate is mounted to the lower portion of the draw tube, the post is mounted to the base plate and extends downwardly therefrom and the base cover is mounted to the base plate and to the post, extending downwardly from a lower portion of the draw tube.
