ABSTRACT:
A corner post assembly particularly useful for joining vertical panels, frames, and the like, in constructing modular work stations for laboratories, offices, and industrial sites. The assembly includes a corner post tube typically having two or more (but at least one) vertically-elongated risers secured to the tube at selected angular positions thereabout. The corner post tube has a plurality of outer bearing faces which, when viewed in a horizontal cross-section of that tube, define a regular polygon in which the included angles between adjacent faces are equal and obtuse. Each vertical riser, which may be a frame component of a partition or movable wall assembly, is releasably but securely connected to the tube at three vertically and laterally spaced traction points, with the planar wall of the riser held in tight surface engagement with one of the bearing faces of the tube.
