Abstract

A modular system for office furniture comprising a sufficient number of three types of modules, each corresponding to one or more of the following functions: a 'working surface' function, a 'support' function, a 'storage' function, and an 'electrical wire guiding function.' The first module, a 'table top module,' provides a working surface which performs the 'working surface' function. It comprises three sections, two end sections and a middle connecting section, and is supported by the second and third modules. The end sections of the first table top module each rest on a second 'support' module which performs both the 'support' and 'storage functions.' The third module is a column having upper and lower portions and performs both the 'electrical wire guiding' and support functions.' The upper portion contains the electrical wires of all hardware and appliances distributed on the table top module and the lower supports the middle section of the first table top module. The first table top module is held in place on the second and third modules by gravity. Two or more table top modules can be juxtaposed along two of any of their sides while resting on at least one common support module to form a variety of office furniture assemblies.
