Abstract

A desk or like unit with full duct internal wire management includes rectangular horizontal top and vertical wood support panels therefor, and longitudinally aligned elongate enclosure brackets cooperating with the wood panels to form an elongate horizontal wiring duct or ducts extending the length or width of the desk, or both, for hidden storage of wires or the like. The top panel has an elongate access opening therein extending co-extensively with the wiring duct to facilitate handling and feeding of wires therein, and a removable snap-in closure receivable in such access opening normally closes the same. The closure, which is so profiled to form a continuation of the top surface of the desk, includes a number of notches at selected positions therealong for egress of wires from the wiring duct to the top surface of the top panel for connection to an appliance supported thereon. The desk may be readily integrated in modern office systems, the vertical panels having openings coaxial with the ends of the wiring duct for passage of wires into the wiring duct from raceways in wall panels or juxtaposed desks or the like, and the elongate enclosure brackets having openings or apertures therein for passage of wires into the wiring duct from the interior of the desk, from the floor or for providing communication between transversely extending ducts.
