ABSTRACT:
A modular laboratory furniture system includes freestanding tubular frame modules (22) and freestanding table (36) arranged about a room in a preplanned configuration. The system further includes mobile carts (40) movable about the room. The frame modules (22) and tables (36) each mount a horizontal work surface (50). Pairs of spaced-apart common support means (38) mount the work surfaces (50) and also are used to construct the carts (40). The common support means (38) includes a hollow vertical leg (56, 58), a bracket member (52, 54) and means for securing one portion of the leg (56, 58) to the bracket member (52, 54). The base portion (92) of the bracket member (52, 54) has a perimeter which mates with that of the leg (56, 58). Detachably secured to the legs (56, 58) of the spaced-apart support means (38) are rails (60, 61). The rails (60, 61) support at least one storage component on the frame module ( 22), table (36) and carts (40). The common support means (38) allow for mounting of work surfaces (50) to the frame modules (22) and tables (36) and the construction of carts (40) using a minimum of parts and provide for versatility in making changes in the sytem.
