ABSTRACT:
A light weight, upholstered panel for use in modular and free standing office landscaping systems. The panels form free standing partitions which can be rearranged and assembled into an office system. Panels can be interconnected and positioned over a range of angles relative to adjacent panels. The panel core is composed of a light weight composite structural material with perimeter frame members along each edge. Each frame member has the same cross-section along its length. The horizontal perimeter horizontal frame members are inter-connected with the vertical frame members by corner connectors. The corner connectors have protrusions which engage hollow cavities in the ends of the frame members. The perimeter frame acts to transfer loads imposed on the panel to the structural core. The perimeter frame members incorporate formations to secure the panel fabric, trim and the inter-panel connection system in place and provide recesses for fasteners and support hardware.
