Description

LINEAR CONNECTION SYSTEM FOR COUPLING PANEL SYSTEMS FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates in part to a linear connection system that is connected to one or more panel systems.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Large open office spaces are commonly divided into work stations by the use of wall panel systems. Panel systems typically consist of stand-alone panels that are joined together in a spatial pattern to define the desired workstation or sub-area space. Each workstation space is then provided with individual workstation components such as work surfaces and storage units. Most of these workstation components are directly connected and supported by panels. Although useful, office panel systems lack a certain degree of versatility and flexibility. However, in modern office environments it may be necessary for work stations to frequently require a new configuration when evolving new work projects, thus requiring new work environments. More importantly, it can be difficult and time consuming to disassemble, reconfigure and reassemble office panel systems, particularly when the power and communication cabling systems are housed within the panels. In fact, in many office panel systems it is necessary to disconnect the components of the workstations and the wiring inside the panels when moving a panel to a different area. The stand-alone panels are disassembled and reconnected at the desired location, where the workstation components are re-joined. Another problem with the reconfiguration of the above mentioned office panel systems is that it frequently interrupts the work routine both in the place from which it was moved and in the place where it will be reconfigured. Another problem that can arise when a company has panels and components from different manufacturers, or from different lines of the same manufacturer is that these components and different panels often can not intermingle with each other making it difficult to reconfigure the workspace. In this way, there is a need for a system that is easy to assemble and disassemble. There is also a need for a system that improves the ease of reconfiguration by being able to join one or more different types of panel assemblies.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED MODALITIES With reference to the drawings, various structural aspects of a linear connection system 50 according to the present invention are shown in FIGS. 1 to 106. The basic function block for the linear connection system 50 is the linear connection frame 52 shown in FIGS. 2 to 8. The linear connection frame 52 includes a pair of posts 54 and 56 extending along of the vertical direction, Z, and are parallel and spaced apart along a horizontal direction X, which is perpendicular to the vertical direction, Z. Each of the poles 54 and 56 preferably has the same shape and structure as shown in FIGS. Figures 2 through 8. Each post is made of a flexible material, for example steel, and has a vertical length of approximately 129.5 cm, a predetermined width of approximately 7.8 cm in the horizontal direction, X and a thickness of approximately 3.3 cm at along the Y direction, which is perpendicular to the X and Z axes. It is possible that the poles 54 and 56 have other vertical lengths, for example, the vertical distance can be 167 cm (figures 4 to 6) or 94 cm (figures 7 and 8).

As shown in figures from 2 to 8, three support shelves 58, 60, 62 are attached to the front face 64 of the vertical post 54 in a manner known per se, welding for example. Each support shelf 58, 60, 62 includes an L-shaped bracket 66 having a first end 68 which extends downwards and is joined to the front face 64 in a known manner, welding for example. The L-shaped bracket 66 further includes a second end 70 that moves away from the front face 64 and is perpendicular to the first end 68. The second end 70 forms a surface that is preferably parallel to the support surface or floor 72 that it supports the complete linear connection frame 52. As shown in figures from 2 to 8, the post 54 is centrally located with respect to the support shelf 58, such that an inner end 74 of the support shelf 58 is misaligned inward from the inner face 76 of the post 74 along the horizontal direction, X, approximately 5 cm and an outer end 78 of the support shelf 58 is aligned with the inner end 74 along the horizontal direction, is misaligned outward from the external face 80 of post 54 along the horizontal direction X approximately 5 cm. The inward face portion of the second limb 70 supports an end 82 of a beam 84 therein, such that the upper face of the inner end 74 faces the lower face of the beam 84. The end 82 of the beam 84 it is attached to a second end 70 by inserting two bolts through the corresponding holes formed in the end 82 and the second end 70 and nuts are placed in the bolts. The attached end 82 of the beam 84 is separated from the front face 64 of the post 54 by about 4.4 cm. As shown in Figures 2 through 8, the beam 84 extends from the first post 54 to the second post 56 along the horizontal direction X. The beam 84 has a length of approximately 122 cm. Of course, the beam 84 can have other lengths, for example 61 cm and 46 cm The second end 88 of the beam 84 is attached to an extension end 89 inwardly of a support shelf 90 which is attached to the second post 56. The support shelf 90 has the same structure and shape as the support shelf 58. In particular, the support shelf 90 includes an L-shaped bracket 92 having the same structure as the L-shaped brackets 66 of the posts 56 described above. The L-shaped bracket 92 has a downwardly extending end 91, which is welded to the front face 94 of the second post 56, and a second end 96 that is perpendicular to the end 91 and extends in the opposite direction to the end. front face 94. The beam 84 is supported on the upper surface of the second end 96 which preferably is parallel to the floor 72. The post 56 is centrally located with respect to the support shelf 90 such that an inner end 98 of the shelf of Support 90 is misaligned inwardly from internal phase 100 of post 56 along horizontal direction X, approximately 5 cm. Likewise, the outer end 102 of the support shelf 90, which is aligned with the inner end 98 along the horizontal direction, is offset outwardly from the outer face 104 of the post 56 along the horizontal direction X , approximately 5 cm. The face-in part of the second part 96 supports the end 88 of the beam 84 therein, such that the top face of the inner end 98 faces the underside of the beam 84. The end 88 of the beam 84 and the second part 96 have holes similar to those of the end 82 and the second part 70, respectively, such that the end 88 of the beam 84 is attached to the post 56 by inserting 2 bolts. through the holes in the manner described above with respect to the end 82 of the beam 84 and the second end 70. The attached end 88 of the beam 84 is separated from the front face 94 of the post 56 by about 4.4 cm. As shown in figures from 2 to 10, the support shelves 58 and 90 are joined to the upper portions of the posts 54 and 56, respectively, and are aligned with each other along the horizontal direction X, such that the beam 84 attached thereto extends parallel to the 72nd floor. As shown in Figures 2 through 9, the beam 84 forms a C-108-shaped opening that faces the front faces 64 and 94 of the posts 54 and 56 respectively. A rectangular flat surface 110 is attached to both the beam 84 and the lower beam 114 by first inserting the upper edge 115 of the lower beam 114 into the grooves 117 that are formed by a pair of lower hooks or locks 112 of the planar surface 110. Then the upper edge of the planar surface 110 is rotated towards the beam 84 such that a pair of upper C-shaped wedges 119 fully engage the lower edge 121 of the beam 84. The joined planar surface 110 extends towards down from the beam 84 to a lower beam 114 having the same shape as the beam 84. As shown in Figures 2 and 3, the lower beam 114 is approximately 120 cm below the upper beam 84 and is preferably parallel and it rests directly below the beam 84. The distance of separation between the upper beam 84 and the lower beam 114 can have a wide range of values depending on the desired view of the panel system. For example, the separation distance can be 82 cm or 46 cm in the case of a linear connection frame of Figures 2 and 3, the planar surface 110 should have a length of approximately 116.8 cm and an approximate height of 121.4 cm to cover the space between the beams 84 and 114 and may have various structures, for example made of steel. Furthermore, the planar surface 110 may have a surface of a material to which attachments may be attached or fixed in a known manner. The planar surfaces 110 for the linear connection frames 52 of Figures 4 to 8 should have a similar structure and should have dimensions to cover the space between the beams 84 and 114. Some examples of these dimensions are 116.8 cm by 45.7 cm or 116.8 cm by 61 cm. As shown in Figures 2 to 8, the lower beam 114 is attached to the posts 54 and 56, by means of support shelves 60 and 117 and their respective L-shaped brackets 66, 92 having the same structure and scheme of connection as described above with respect to the support shelves 58, 90 and their L-shaped brackets 66, 92. The surfaces facing upwards of the limbs 70, 96 of the L-shaped brackets support the lower edge of the brackets. the planar surface 110 in them. The above description shows how a portion of one side of the linear connection frame 52 is covered by a planar surface 110. The other side of the linear connection frame 52 may or may not be covered in a similar manner. In case the linear connection frame 52 should be placed parallel to a permanent wall of an area, then the side of the linear connection frame 52 opposite the planar surface 110 can be positioned in such a way that it faces towards the permanent wall without fear that someone can see the uncovered side. However, if the linear connection frame 52 is placed remote from a permanent wall, then the other side of the linear connection frame 52 must also be covered by a planar surface. This is achieved by joining 2 beams 118 and 120 to the posts 54 and 56 on the other side of the linear connection frame 52. The joining of the beams 118 and 120 is achieved in the same way that the beams 84 and 114 are joined to the beams. poles 54 and 56. In particular, each of the beams 118 and 120 have the same structure as the beams 84 and 114, such that each one defines C-shaped holes 122 and 124, respectively, that face towards the faces after 126 and 128 of posts 54 and 56, respectively. The hole 122 allows the joining and placement of a rectangular rear planar surface 129 from the beam 118 by wedges 119 fully engaged to the lower edge of the beam 118 in the same manner as described above with respect to the joining of the wedges 119 to the lower edge beam 84. The joined rear planar surface 129 extends downwardly from the beam 118 towards the lower beam 120. The lower portion of the posterior planar surface 129 is attached to the upper surface of the lower beam 120 by the insurances described above 116, in the same manner as the safety 116 are attached to the lower beam 114. The rear planar surface 129 preferably has the same size, structure and dimensions as the planar surface 110. Preferably, the rear planar surface 129 is aligned with the planar surface 110. As shown in the Figures from 2 to 8, the alignment of the planar surface 129 is achieved by joining support shelves 130, 131, 132 and 134 to the rear faces 126, 128 of the poles 54 and 56, so that they have the Same height on the floor 72 as the support shelves 58, 90, 60, 117 respectively. The support shelves 130, 131, 132 and 134 each have L-shaped brackets 66, which have the same structure and joining scheme as described above with respect to the support shelves 58, 90, 60, 117 and their supports. L-shaped brackets 66. The surface facing upwards of the limbs 70 of the L-shaped brackets support the lower edge of the planar surface 129 therein. As described above, one function of the linear collection frame 52 is to provide a structure that allows the planar surfaces 110, 129 to easily join them. Another function of the linear connection frame 52 is to provide efficient energy management and cabling for an office. Planar surfaces 110 and 129 are misaligned from the front and rear faces of posts 54 and 56 approximately 3.8 cm, this allows cables and / or wires to run from one end of the planar surface to the other end where the cables are located and / or wires on the support shelves 58, 60, 90, 117, 130, 131, 132, 134. Energy management is provided by a third beam 136 having electronic wiring attachments that includes wiring and modular power components or attachments electronic components, such as the known energy components, joined to this by means of known brackets 137. As shown in FIGS. 2 to 5 and 7 to 8, the beam 136 can have a rectangular shape and extend to a distance d between the posts 54 and 56. The beam 136 is inserted between the J-shaped brackets 139 which are attached to one side of the posts 54 and 56. The brackets 139 can be replaced with the L-shaped brackets 66 as shown in figure 6. In another embodiment shown in figures from 16 to 25, beam 136 has a length that is smaller than the distance of separation, d, along the horizontal direction, X, by making the measurement between the poles 54 and 56. The beam 136 is joined to the poles 54 and 56 by a pair of identical extension pieces, 138 and 140 respectively. As shown in Figures 22 to 25 the extension piece 138 has a flange 142 extending along the horizontal direction, X, and a second flange 144 which is substantially parallel to the flange 142. The flanges 142 and 144 are joined to each other in such a way as to form a female receiving element, such as the hole resembling a slot 146, in which the post 54 is inserted in such a way that the post 54 is located between the flanges 142 and 144. flanges 142 and 144 are attached to the support shelves 62 and 150, respectively, by a nut that is inserted through the aligned hole of the flanges 142 and 144 and the L-shaped bracket 66 and a threaded bolt in the nut. The support shelves 62 and 150, each have an L-shaped bracket 66 having the same structure as the L-shaped brackets 66 described above. The limbs 70 of the L-shaped brackets 66 extend substantially perpendicular to the front and rear faces 64 and 126 of the posts 54 and have an upper surface on which the flanges 142 and 144 rest as shown in the figures. 16, 22 and 23. The two flanges 142 and 144 are joined in such a way as to form an inverted U portion 156. The inverted U-shaped portion 156 extends approximately 17.7 cm from the post 54 to the post 56. One end of the beam 136 is inserted into the hole formed by the portion 156 and is joined to the U-shaped portion 156 by welding thereto. The other end of the beam 136 is inserted and joined to the U-shaped portion 158 of the extension piece 140 similarly to the junction of the U-shaped extension portion 156. As shown in FIGS. , 18 and 20, 21 the extension piece 140 has a shape identical to the extension piece 138, and has a pair of parallel flanges 160 and 162 that form a slot 164 where the post 56 is inserted. The flanges 160 and 162 they are supported on limbs 96 and corbels 92 in the form of L having the same structure as the L-shaped brackets 66. The four L-shaped brackets 66 and 92 are placed approximately 20.3 cm above the bottom of the posts 54 and 56 so that the beam 136 and the electronic energy devices (not shown) will extend in parallel and approximately 30.4 cm above the floor 72. As shown in figures 92 and 93, a support system for 600 wiring management together with the system 50 of linear connection 50 to provide a wiring arrangement at different heights of the linear connection system 50. The wiring management support system 600 includes a support rod 602 which is made of durable material, for example a cellular PVC, can have a length of approximately 36 cm or 75.5 cm and a rectangular cross section of 2 by 3 cm. The suspension rod 602 has a side 604 that has equally spaced holes that align with the corresponding trades that are formed on the opposite side 606. As shown in Figure 93, the brackets 606 are attached to the sides 604 and 606 by the insertion of female threaded screws 608 through the holes of the brackets 606 and into the holes formed in the sides 604 and 606. The brackets 606 are made of unique pieces of aluminum that are bent to form a hole in the side upper 610 that allows the wiring to be inserted through it. A U-shaped support bracket 612 is attached to the upper part of the suspension rod 602 by a female threaded screw 614. The support bracket 612 is made of a rectangular piece of steel for springs and extends approximately 8.2 cm about the upper part of the suspension rod 602. Each side of the support bracket 612 has a distal portion 616 extending outwardly with a rectangular projection 618 formed approximately 3.5 cm from it. The wiring management support system 600 is attached to a linear connection 50 by lowering the system 600 through a rectangular groove formed between the upper beams 84 and 118 and the poles 54 and 56 that extend along the length of the upper beams 84 and 118. As shown in Figure 92, the dimensions in the groove are such that the suspension rod 602 has to be positioned in such a manner that the brackets 606 extend from the sides 604, 606 in a parallel direction with the length of the rectangular slot. Once the support system 600 is lowered so that the upper brackets 606 are placed below the upper beam 84, the suspension rod 602 is rotated 90 ° and then lowered in such a way that the lower surfaces of the portions 616 make contact with the upper parts of the beams 84 and 118 and the rectangular projections 618 engage the lower surfaces of the beams 84 and 118 to provide a spring-lock connection for the support system 600. Two or more support systems 600 may be attached to the linear connection 50 while they are separated from each other. Each support system is inserted through the rectangular slot defined by the beams 84 and 118, and joins the beams 84 and 118 in the manner described above. The corbels 606 of the adjacent suspension rods 602 will be aligned with one another such that they define a passage for the wiring to be inserted into the upper side hole 610. Note that there are other possible embodiments for the support systems 600. For example, the rod of suspension 602 can have a length such that this and some of its brackets 606 are inserted through the rectangular groove that is formed through lower beams 114 and 120 and posts 54 and 60. In this way, one or more Steps for wiring may be formed below the beams 114 and 120 once the support systems 600 are joined in the manner described above. In another embodiment, the support systems 600 may be used in conjunction with a single top beam having a slot formed therein such that it allows the suspension rods 602 to be inserted and rotated in a manner similar to that described above. In addition, the single beam may be in the form of a U-shaped channel having upper edges that support the lower surfaces of the distal portions 616 of the brackets 612. Access to electronic energy devices is controlled by placing a rectangular planar surface 174 on the job that is formed between beam 114 and beam 136. Planar surface 174 has the same structure as planar surfaces 110 and 129 and has an approximate height of 47.7 cm and an approximate length of 60.9 cm or about 45.7 cm The planar surface 174 may have holes 176 to allow access to the electrical outputs 401 of electronic energy devices. As shown in Figures 69 through 71, the holes 176 may be formed in pairs, where each hole 176 has a rectangular plastic collar 398 with tongue grooves 399 where the edges of the holes 176 are inserted. Each rectangular collar 398 functions to support the tolerance of the trades 376 when the electrical outlets 401 are inserted through them. As shown in Figures 69 and 71, an electrical outlet 401 is inserted into each collar 398. As shown in the figure 71, each of the adjacent collars 398 has Z-shaped ends 402 that overlap and mate with a T-shaped part 404 that is formed on the back of the planar surface 174. The connection with the T-shaped part. provides improved structural stability for collars 398. Planar surface 174 is attached to beams 114 and 136 by 112 locks and C-shaped wedges 119, in the same way that the planar surfaces 110 and 129 are joined to the beams 84 and 114, respectively. The lower portion of the planar surface 174 is attached to the vertical fins 177 which are formed in the extension pieces 138, 140 by means of 2 latches 112 which engage the fins 177 in the same manner that the latch 112 engages the upper edge. 115 of the beam 114. As shown in Figures 18A, 18B and 19, a wing-shaped bracket 179 is bolted to the center of the beam 136 and has vertical fins 181 that engage, by a lock 112 of the planar surface 174 in the same manner as the latches 112 engage the fins 177. The bracket 179 can have movement to adjust the place of attachment with the planar surface 174.

Note that if the linear connection frame 52 is isolated from a permanent wall, then the other side of the linear connection frame 52 extending from the beam 114 to the beam 136 can be similarly covered by a rear planar surface 178 having the same dimensions and structures as the planar surface 174. A skirt 180 is used to cover the area from the floor 72 to the beam 136. The skirt 180 is preferably made of hard plastic, for example extruded PVC, and has a rectangular shape that it has a length of approximately 122 cm and a width of approximately 12 cm. The skirt 180 may have other lengths, for example 61 cm and 45 cm. As shown in Figure 28, the skirt 180 has a cross section that includes a C-shaped channel 182 integrally joined to a planar section 184 having a width of approximately 0.63 cm. A lower start 186 is offset approximately 0.27 cm from the planar section 184 and is integrally joined thereto by an intermediate section 188 that is angled approximately with respect to the planar section 184. The lower start 186 and the intermediate section 188, each one has an approximate width of 1.27 cm. Different shapes for skirt 180 are possible without departing from the spirit of the invention.

The skirt 180 is held parallel to the front faces 64 and 94 of the posts 54 and 56 by joining the skirt 180 to a pair of hinge pieces 190 as shown in Figure 26. Each hinge piece 190 has the shape of an inverted U with a rectangular upper part 192 and a pair of rectangular sides 194. The upper piece 192 has a width of approximately 5 cm and a length of approximately 20 cm. The sides 194 are perpendicular to the top piece 192 and have an identical shape with an approximate width of 3 cm, and a length of approximately 20 cm. A pair of spring-like elements 196 are attached to each of the lines of intersection between the sides 194 and the top piece 192. Each spring-like element 196 defines a hole 198 in which one end of the channel in the shape of C 182 of skirt 180 is inserted. As shown in Figure 26, a second hinge piece with identical shape 200 is attached to the other end of the C-shaped channel 182 of the skirt 180. As shown in Figure 29, each hinge piece 190 and 200 has a slot 202 that is formed in the top piece 192. The slots 202 have a hole with a width of about 2.5 cm in which the posts 54 and 56 are inserted. Once the posts 54 and 56 are inserted into the slots 202 the skirt 180 is lowered in such a way that it rests on the floor 72. The skirt 180 remains on the floor 72 regardless of whether the posts 54 and 56 are raised or they are lowered since the slots 202 in the flap pieces 190 and 200 allow the poles 54 and 56 to move relative thereto. Note that at the end of a run of planar surfaces, the lower part exposed below the cap 330 is covered by a rectangular coating 506, preferably made of wood.

As shown in Figs. 82A-B the rectangular cover 506 travels inside two parallel vertical slots 508 formed inside the cap 330. Like the skirt 180, the cover piece 506 remains on the floor 72 regardless of whether the Posts 56 and 54 are raised or down. Note that in case the linear connection frame is insulated from a wall, then a second skirt 204 identically to the skirt 180 is joined to the other side of the posts 54 and 56 by the other element similar to a spring 196 of the Same way as described above with respect to the skirt 180. The second skirt 204 also rests on the floor 72 and covers the rear area which is defined by the beam 136 and the floor 72. With the above description of the structure of a system linear connection 50 in mind, a novel structure to aid in the construction of a linear connection system 50 shown in Figures 2 to 8, and 16 and 17. In particular, a support 206 is attached to the housings 208 of each post 54 and 56 , which helps to allow the linear connection frame 52 and the system 50 to be autonomous. One end of the holder 206 is inserted into a collar 210 which is attached to one side of the housing 208. As shown in FIGS. 16 and 17, one end 212 of the support 206 rests parallel to the housing 208 extending perpendicularly and vertically toward the floor 72 while the other end of the support 206 extends down towards the floor 72, such that a portion thereof makes contact with the floor 72 and acts as a tripod defining a contact point 582 and two separate pieces 584, 586 that meet at a point of contact 582 and are relatively joined together. As shown in Figure 16, the end of the tripod is a J-shaped portion. 214 that rests on the 72nd floor. The tripod end can also be L-shaped. The J-shaped portion 214 has a cylindrical cross-section and screws itself to provide a support area to keep the post straight. The position of the support area can be adjusted by rotating the support 206 inside the collar 210 on the vertical axis. Note that when the linear connection frame 52 is attached to a panel system, the support 206 can be rotated so that it is not visible. In addition, the support for the post 54 56 has an already known slider 216 whose circular base is joined to a screw 217 which is rotatably connected with respect to the post 54 or 56 in a known manner, so that the rotation of the The screw varies the amount by which the lower end of the housing 208 is positioned on the floor 72. The linear connection frame 52 described above has a structure that facilitates the joining of a plurality of linear connection frames 52 along a single line . Two linear connection frames 52 are joined together as they begin with the construction of a connection frame 52 as described above. Then, a third post is laterally separated from the post 56, such that the third post and the posts 54 and 56 are aligned with each other, and the post 56 rests between the post 54 and the third post. The lateral spacing between the third post and the post 56 is preferably the same as that between the posts 54 and 56. Three support shelves, such as the shelves 58, 60, 62, are attached to the front face 64 of the third. vertical pole. Each support shelf includes an L-shaped bracket 66 that is oriented with respect to the third post, in the same manner as the L-shaped brackets 66 of the post 54. Like the posts 54 and 56, the third post is located centrally with respect to the support shelves, in such a way that each end of the support shelves and the brackets 66 extend based on the lateral faces of the third post. In this way, a portion of each bracket 66 extends towards the misaligned outer ends 102 of the brackets 66 of the post 56. A second linear connection frame is formed by joining three beams to the outer ends 102 of the brackets 66 of the post 56 and the end of the brackets 66 of the third post that are misaligned to the post 56. The structure for joining the three beams is the same as the joining structure that was used for the beams of the posts 54 and 56. Note that two upper beams can be attached to the other side of the post 56 and the third post by joining two additional brackets 66 on each of the other sides of the post 56 and on the third post. Two beams are attached to the additional brackets in the same way that the beams 122 and 1224 are joined to the brackets 66 of the posts 54 and 56. With the above structure, two linear connection frames 52 have been formed and the planar surface can be placed in each linear connection frame 52 in the manner described above. It is clear that having the brackets 66 misaligned with respect to both sides of the post allows a simple structure for joining the beams to the posts and forming additional linear connection frames in any direction in which a linear connection frame 52 extends. Note that When a desired number of linear connection frames have been joined, the run of linear connection frames is discontinued by the movement of the brackets 66 of the last post in the run, such that the ends of the brackets closest to the end of the run. The run is aligned or flush with the side face of the end post closest to the end of the run. The beams are attached to the other ends of the brackets as described above and the planar surfaces are attached to the final linear connection frame in the run. A cap 330 is attached to the bracket 66 of the end post in a manner described later with respect to FIGS. 58 to 60. An upper bushing is also attached to the upper part of the linear connection frames which are connected to each other. An advantage of the linear connection system described above 50 is that it provides greater ease in reconfiguring a horizontal plane for the office. In the past, the horizontal office plans had a tray shape for ice cubes as shown schematically in Figure 72. It is difficult to reconfigure such horizontal office plans since it is required to disassemble the side walls 219 of the central structure 221 and moving the side walls 219 and the central structure 221 to the desired location. The present invention provides an improved method or system for reconfiguring the horizontal planes for office as shown in Figures 73 and 74. In particular, a connection frame in the stationary 52 is placed in an initial position extending from and rests on the floor 72. The planar surfaces connected to both sides of the linear connection frame define a first planar surface connected to said stationary linear connection frame, in such a way that the linear connection system 50 rests substantially along the plane that is perpendicular to the floor 72. As shown in Figure 73, a plurality of wing walls 223 are attached to the linear connection frame 52, such that the wing walls 223 rest substantially within planes that are perpendicular to the plane. of the linear connection system 50. The wing walls 223 have a rectangular shape that have a height extending from the part and upper of the linear connection system 50 to the floor 72 where the walls 223 rest on it. The wing walls 223 may be made of steel or transparent plastic and may have adhesion material on the outer surface. The connection of the wing walls 223 to the linear connection frames 52 can be performed in a wide variety of manner, for example the connection of the linear connection frame 52 to the panel systems of Figures 31 to 53, and as described then. The stationary linear connection frame 52 and two consecutive wing walls 223 define the boundary of a U-shaped space 225 in the floor 72. The furniture, such as desks and chairs, is accommodated in space 225. The initial office system of Figure 73 is reconfigured by removing the wing walls 223 of the stationary linear connection frame 52, while at the same time the stationary linear connection frame 52 is retained in its initial position during the complete reconfiguration procedure. Then, the wing walls 223 are reattached to the linear connection frame 52 in the positions to create the desired office system as shown in Figure 74. The re-installed wing walls 223 rest in parallel with each other. in such a way that the linear connection frame 52 and the consecutive wing walls 223 define a new U-shaped perimeter of new spaces 227 in which the furniture of the initial horizontal plane is placed in the new spaces 227. In addition to providing a Improved reconfiguration of the horizontal planes for office, the stationary linear connection frame 52 also provides the advantage that it is lighter and easier to move. In particular, the linear connection frame 52 is a non-permanent structure that allows the frame 52 to move to other locations and can be assembled and disassembled. One of the objectives of the linear connection frame 52 is to provide a reference frame from which other panel systems can be attached. In other words, the linear connection frame 52, with the planar surfaces attached to one or both sides thereof, but acts as the hub of a bicycle wheel in which a number of panel systems can be joined and radiate to different directions from the linear connection frame 52 as spokes in the wheel. In this case, the panel systems will radiate in parallel or perpendicular directions to the linear connection frame 52. Because a main function of the linear connection system 50 and frame 52 is the connection of panel systems, they are not designed to be connected to large load structures, such as work surfaces or higher storage cabinets. Instead, the linear connection system 50 is designed to support light load structures such as paper trays (figure 61 A), diagonal trays (figure 61 B), blackboard (figure 62), hanging boards (figure 63), boards of adhesive material (figure 66A), miniboards made of bondable material (figure 66B), shelves (figure 84A), channel dividers (figure 84B), message supports (figure 84C), media for agendas (figure 84D), files (figure 84E), adhesive tape dispensers (figure 84F), supports (figure 84G), organizing trays (figure 84H) and hanging spindles (figure 84I). The panel systems attached to the linear connection frame can have the same shape or can be a mixture of different panel systems attached to the linear connection frame 52. For example, the linear connection frame 52 of FIGS. 1 through 30 can be attached simultaneously to three panel assemblies of Figures 31 to 54 and to the cabinet of Figures 83 or any combination thereof. In this way, the linear connection frame 52 allows a great flexibility to reconfigure it when it is placed in offices that already have one or more different panel systems. The linear connection frame 52 and the system 50 can be joined to a second linear connection frame 52 and system 50 which is perpendicular to the first linear connection frame 50 and which also can not load large load structures, such as work surfaces and cabinets of superior storage. As shown in the plane of the ice cube tray of Figure 72, the office contains a central structure 221 which is formed of expensive and complicated modular office systems. The cost of reconfiguring such a horizontal plane can be drastically reduced by using the lightweight linear connection frame 52 of the present invention as a structure and using wing walls to define office spaces. As shown in FIGS. 98, the linear connection system 50 may have linear connection frames 52 of different heights that are connected together to form a linear connection. The connection is achieved by a pair of H-shaped connectors 700. Each connector 700 has a pair of arms 702 that make contact on each side of the post 56 of the smaller connecting frame., just below the brackets in the form of upper and lower L 92. The distal ends of the arms 702 are connected to each other by a socket head screw 704 and a hexagonal nut 706. In this way, the connectors 700 are snapped to the post 56. The other arms 708 of the connectors 700 are then fixed Pressing the post 54 of the higher connecting frame in a similar manner, such that the two connecting frames are fixed together as shown in Figures 94 and 95. Once the frames are joined, the exposed side portion of the Higher connection frame is covered with a rectangular end piece 710. The end piece is made of metal having a pair of vertical slots 712 on the edge. As shown in Figs. 95-98, a pair of fastening clips 714 slide into the slots 712, such that they engage expansively with the walls of the slots. 712. After the fastening clips 714 slide into their positions, an end cover 716 slides into the lower portions of the slots 712. Each fastening clip 714 has a U-shaped expansion bracket 718 that attaches a T-shaped base 720 of the body of a fastening clip 722 by a pair of roller pivots 724 and a socket head screw 726. The body of the fastening clip 722 has a pair of arms 728 that are snapped in place. to the post 54 by a socket head screw 730 and a hexagon nut 732, in the same manner that the arms 708 are attached to the post 54. A spacer 734 can be used between the arms 702, 708, 728. A double sided tape 735 can be attached to the end cover 716, in such a way as to act as a light seal. As shown in Figures 31-53, the linear connection system 50 is also capable of joining or linking to other panel assemblies having a wall or panel perpendicular to the linear connection system 50. Note that it is contemplated that the system Linear connection 50 will be able to join various types of panel assemblies with a height equal, greater, or less than the height of the linear connection system 50. In the following description of the embodiments of Figures 31 to 53, the elements they will have numeral designations. An example of joining the linear connection system 50 to a panel assembly is shown in Figures 31 through 40 and 90A and 90-C. The linear connection system 50 can be attached to a panel assembly 218 in a manner similar to that described in the reissued patent of E.U.A. No. Re 32,890, the contents of which are incorporated herein in full, and similar to the panel assembly sold by Herman Miller, Inc. of Zeeland, Michigan under the trade name of ACTION OFFICE. The connection is achieved by joining a transition piece 220 in the beams 84 and 114 after the joining of planar surfaces 110, 129, 174 and 178 in the linear connection frame 52. As shown in figures 39 and 40, the workpiece transition 220 having a W-shape has an approximate length of 172 cm such that it extends from the upper part of the linear connection system 50 to the lower part of the lower planar surface 129. It is possible that the transition piece 220 has other lengths, such that the transition piece 220 fits the height of the linear connection system 50. Other possible lengths of the transition piece are 68.5 cm, 96.5 cm, 104.1 cm, 132 cm and 139.7 cm. The transition piece 220 has two pairs of s 222 and 224 which align with the C-shaped s of the beams 84 and 114, respectively. A pair of connectors 226, as shown in Figure 37, slide into the C-shaped s 108 and are used to join the transition piece 220 to the beams 84 and 114. As shown in Figures 37A, 37D , 38A and 38B, each connector 226 has an irregular U-shaped body 228 with a pair of s that receive the T-bolts or nuts 233 and bolts 232. The connector 226 is made of durable material, such as molten aluminum, and it has a height of approximately 4.44 cm, a length of approximately 5 cm and a width of approximately 1.14 cm. The T 232 bolts have a cylindrical shape with an approximate length of 2 cm and an approximate diameter of 1.5 cm. A channel joining system includes the expansive connector 226, the transition piece or material 220 and the beam 84. The channel joining system operates by means of the connector 226 which is inserted inside a C-shaped 108 rotating first the bolts T 232 in such a way that they can run parallel to the 108. Because the width of the bolts T 232 and the body of the connector 228 is smaller than the width of the C-shaped 108, the connector 226 can Insert all the way into the C-shaped 108 with the T 232 bolts guiding the path. Once the connector 226 is inserted into the 108, the T 232 bolts are rotated 90 °. Because the height of the bolts T 232 is greater than the width of the C-shaped hole 108, the bolts T 232, and subsequently the connector 226, can not return through the C-shaped hole 108. Although the connector 226 can not return through the hole 108, the connector 226 can move freely along the longitudinal direction of the hole 108. As shown in Figures 34 and 35, a portion of the bolts 232 extend out of the hole in shape from C 108. The bolts 232 are inserted into the corresponding holes 222, 224 formed in the transition piece 220 and joined to the transition piece 220 by tightening the outer nuts 233 in the T 232 bolts. The nuts 233 are located on the outside of the C-shaped hole 108. The rotation of the nuts 233 causes the inside of the bolts T 232 to move and engage a surface of the beam 84 that faces into the hole 108. When the inner T-bolts 232 are coupled to the surface, the transition piece 220 is fixedly attached to the beam 84. Note that because the bolts T 232 are coupled to the inner surface of the beam 84, an reduction of natural wear of the beam 84. It is understood that other schemes are possible to join the transition piece 220 to the linear connection frame 52. As shown in figures 75A-B, a lower C-shaped flange 235 is formed on the beam 84. A C-shaped end 237 of the connector block 239 is inserted into the channel 241 formed by the lower flange 235. Once inserted into the channel 241, the connector 239 can slide only the full length of the beam 84. Connector 239 has two pe T 232 connecting to the connector 239 to the transition piece 220 in the same manner as the pins T 232 are attached to the connector 226 to the transition piece 220 (Figure 38A). The connector 239 has a spacer (not shown) located between the bolts 232 which misalign the transition piece 220 of the linear connection frame 52. A second alternative coupling scheme is shown in FIGS. 76A and 76B. The beam 84 has been reformed in such a way that the C-shaped hole is eliminated and the upper side A has a plurality of rectangular holes 243. The bolt T 245 is inserted into the holes 243 where it is desired to join the workpiece. transition 220 along the beam 84. Once the bolt T 245 is inserted into the desired hole 243, it is rotated 90 ° in such a way that the bolt T 245 is prevented from coming out of the hole 243. As shown in FIG. 76A, a bolt T 245 is inserted into a connector spacer 247 and the bolt T is inserted into a corresponding hole in the transition piece 220 where it is joined by a bolt 251. Note that the connector spacer 247 and the bolt T 245 can be replaced by a connector 226 as shown in Figure 86. The connector 226 has a pair of L-shaped arms 550 that are inserted into the slots 243 and moved laterally such that the edges 552 forming the slots 243 are inserted into the 554 separations that form n the arms 550. The lateral movement results in the edges 552 engaging the arms 550. Once the connector 226 is joined, a pressure screw 556 is inserted and engaged in the hole formed in the piece of Transition. A third alternative joining scheme is shown in Figures 77A and 77B. The beam 84 has been reformed in such a way that the C-shaped hole is removed and the upper side A has a plurality of circular holes 253. A pair of screws 255 are inserted through the holes formed in the transition piece 220, the connector spacer 257 and in the desired holes 253 where it is desired to join the transition piece 220 along the beam 84. As shown in figure 77B, it can be attached to the back of the beam 84 a flexible adhesive strip cover 259 for the hole in such a manner as to cover all holes 253 and screws 255.

Note that an indented portion aligned with the holes 253 may be formed along the entire length of the beam 84 to provide added force. A fourth alternate coupling scheme is shown in Figures 78A and 78B, where the C-shaped hole 108 receives an H-shaped coupling piece 261 extending along the entire length of the beam 84. The part coupling 261 is attached to the beam 84 by a screw 263. A rectangular shoe 265 is inserted into the hole 108 until it is flush with the piece 261. A pair of screws 255 is inserted through the holes that are formed in the transition piece 220, the shoe 265 and in the groove 267 formed in the coupling piece 261. A fifth alternate coupling scheme is shown in Figure 85, an upper L-shaped bracket 558 is attached to a bracket 560, while a bracket in the form of L 562 is attached to the bracket 564. The two L-shaped brackets 558 and 562 are separated from each other and are inverted together so that the free end 566 of the upper bracket 558 points up and the free end 568 from bracket 562 point down. As shown in Figure 85, the free end 566 allows a hook 112 of the planar surface to be attached to it and the free end 568 to be fully engaged by a wedge 118 attached to the planar surface. A sixth alternating coupling scheme is shown in Figs. 87 and 88. The beam 84 has been reformed in such a way that the upper surface 570 has a plurality of rectangular holes 574 formed therein. The connector 226 of FIGS. 87B and 88 has a pair of L-shaped arms 576 which are inserted into the desired pair of holes 574. The set screw 578 is then inserted and engaged in the hole of a transition piece. When the pressure screw 578 is tightened, the connector 226 will move and engage fully with the leading edges 580 of the holes 574. A seventh alternate coupling scheme is shown in Figure 89. The beam 590 has a horizontal face 592 that it joins the poles 54 and 56 by brackets 66 and shelves as was done previously. However, the beam 590 has been formed in such a way that it has a cross shape with 2 faces or two plates 594 and 596 extending vertically. The upper edge 598 of the face 594 engages a latch or hook 112 of a planar surface in the manner described above. The face 596 is engaged by a rotating connecting piece, such as a bolt L 596 which is joined to a transition piece 600 by a nut 602. When the rotary fixing piece is rotated to a first position (see figure 89) it is it engages the beam 590 and is then rotated approximately 90 ° to a second position where it releases the beam 590. Once it is rotated to the coupling position, the nut 602 is rotated to tighten the connection between the transition piece 600 and beam 590. Note that lower face 604 can be fully engaged by one or more wedges 119 of a planar surface in the manner described above. The end of the panel assembly 218 (Figure 38B) has a transition piece 236 that has the same shape as the transition piece 220 and is attached to the panel assembly 218 in a manner similar to the attachment of the frame supports that are described in the U.S. Pat. No. 5,058,347, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein, and similar to the panel assembly sold by Herman Miller, Inc. of Zeeland, Michigan under the trade name of ACTION OFFICE 3. As shown in Figure 38A, the two parts of transition 220 and 236 are compressively secured together by an upper clamping shoe 240 having cuneiform portions 250, 252 extending downwardly. The cuneiform portions 250 and 252 of the upper fastening shoe 240 are inserted into the slots 254 of the upper U-shaped pieces 256 which are fixed to the transition pieces 220 and 236 approximately 5 cm below the top of the transition piece 220 and 236. The lower portion of the transition piece 220 has a lower shoe 242 with a cuneiform portion 250 extending upwards. The cuneiform portion 250 for the lower shoe 242 is inserted into a channel that is formed in a cuneiform portion extending upwardly of a lower shoe (not shown) of the transition piece 236 that has substantially the same shape as the piece. U-shaped 256, with the exception that it is inverted, so its slot opens down. The lower U-shaped part is separated from its upper U-shaped part 256 approximately 173 cm. The U-shaped part 256 preferably has the same width as the transition pieces 220 and 236, and has a pair of legs 260 having an approximate length of 3.8 cm and spaced apart to form a slot having a Approximate width of 2.5 cm. The upper U-shaped pieces 256 and the lower shoes 242 have a pair of holes in which the screws are inserted to join the transition pieces 220 and 236. Once the cuneiform portions 250 and 252 are inserted into the grooves from those of the U-shaped parts 256 and the channels of the shoes 242. respectively, a screw 269 (Figure 38A-B) is inserted through a threaded hole 271 of the clamping shoe 240 and into a threaded hole 273 formed in the U-shaped part 256 of the transition piece 220. The adjustment of the screw 269 causes the cuneiform portions 250 to engage with the base 264 of the U-shaped pieces 256 of the transition pieces 220 and 236 and the wedge-shaped portions 250 and 252 are fastened to themselves to be coupled together by compression. An example of this type of compression coupling is described in U.S. Patent No. 5,058,347, the entire contents of which are included herein, and like the panel assembly sold by Herman Miller, Inc. of Zeeland, Michigan, under the trademark. commercial of ACTION OFFICE. It should be noted that a filler material 532 (FIG. 38A) can be inserted between the transition pieces 220 and 236 to prevent the passage of light through the connection. The U-shaped pieces 256 of Figures 33 and 35 are designed to join the linear connection system 50 with a panel assembly sold by Herman Miller, Inc. of Zeeland, Michigan, under the trademark ACTION OFFICE 3. The parts U-shaped top 256 of the transition pieces 220 and 236 can be replaced by identical shaped insertion pieces 266 so that the linear connection system 50 can be attached to the panel assemblies sold by Herman Miller, Inc. of Zeeland, Michigan , under the trademarks of ACTION OFFICE 1 and ACTION OFFICE 2, as shown in figures 38B and 91A-C. The insert pieces 266 have an upwardly extending channel into which the cuneiform portions 250 of the clamping shoe 240 can be inserted. The lower portion of the transition piece 220 has a shoe 242 with a cuneiform portion extending toward up attached to it by screws. The lower portion of the transition piece 236 also has a shoe 242 attached thereto, but the cuneiform portion extends downwards. In this way, the channels of the shoes 242 of the transition pieces 220 and 236 face each other. As with the embodiment of Fig. 38A, a screw 269 is inserted through a threaded hole 271 of the clamping shoe 240 and into a threaded hole 273 formed in the insert 266 of the transition piece 220. The adjustment of the screw 269 causes the cuneiform portions 250, 252 to engage the channels of the insert 266.

In addition, the adjustment of the screw 269 causes the cuneiform portion of the shoe 242 of the transition piece 220 is inserted into the shoe channel 242 of the transition piece 236 and pulled to connect to each other by compression. An example of this type of compression coupling is described in U.S. Patent No. 5,058,347, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein, and like the panel assembly sold by Herman Miller, Inc.

Zeeland, Michigan, under the ACTION OFFICE trademark. It should be noted that a filler material 532 can be inserted between the transition pieces 220 and 236 to prevent the passage of light through the connection. The inserts 266 also have a pair of holes in which the bolts 232 are inserted. As described above, the bolts 232 are tightened so that the transition piece 220 attaches to the linear connection system 50. It should be noted that the previously described connection of the linear connection frame 52 to the panel system 218 can be used to join the wing walls 223 to the linear connection frame 52. This is accomplished by joining the transition piece 236 to an end of the wing wall 223 and using the same joining scheme as shown in FIGS. 38A or 38B to compressively connect the wing wall 223 to the linear connection frame 52. As shown in FIGS. 32-33 and 35-36, FIG. Transition piece 220 can join the linear connection assembly 50 to various sizes of panel systems 218 and can join the panel assembly 218 in any portion of the entire length of the connecting frame. neal 52. As described above with respect to Figures 32-38, the transition piece 220 can join an assembly of panels 218 having the same height as the linear connection system 50. Figures 32 and 33 show how a lower panel assembly 218 (marked as A) is attached to the panel assembly 50. The connectors 226 are inserted into the C-shaped holes 108 of the beams 84 and 114 as described above and slide through the holes 108 until they are aligned with the end of the panel assembly 218. The transition piece 220 is connected to the linear connection system 50 in the same manner as described above. Due to the lower height of the panel assembly 218, the transition piece 236 is reduced in size to correspond to the height of the panel system 218. As shown in Figures 33 and 39, the transition piece 220 has a plurality of pairs of holes 500 which allow the upper and lower insert pieces 266 to be attached to various vertical positions by the transition piece 220. The lower insert 266 is attached to the transition piece 220 at approximately 10 cm above the lower edge of the transition piece 220. The upper and lower insert pieces 266 have a pair of holes to receive a pair of screws which are then inserted into the appropriate holes 500 so that the upper and lower insert pieces have the same height on the 72nd floor as the upper and lower insertion pieces 266 and 268 of the transition piece 236. As described above, the screws 269 are tightened so that the cuneiform portions 250, 252 are coupled to the channels and are compressively engaged with each other. In each of the modalities of the annexes that appear in figures 32-40, the transition pieces 220 and 236 have upper panels 270 attached to them in a manner already known. In addition, the front panels 272 are attached to the transition pieces 220 and 236 to extend from the upper panels 270 to the U-shaped pieces 256, 258 or the insert 266, 268. It should be noted that for each one of the embodiments, the transition piece 220 can be attached to the panel system 218 in any portion by the full length of the linear connection frame 52. As described above, the connectors 226 are inserted in the C-shaped holes 108 of the beams 84 and 114, and slide through the holes 108 until they align with the end of the panel assembly 218. Another example of joining the linear connection system 50 with another panel assembly appears in Figures 41-53. The linear connection system 50 can be attached to a panel assembly 274 in a manner as described in the reissued US patent number Re 32,890, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein, and like the panel assembly sold by Herman Miller, Inc. of Zeeland, Michigan, under the trademark of ETHOSPACE. The connection of the linear connection system 50 and the panel assembly 274 is achieved by joining a transition piece 276 to the beams 84 and 114 after the joining of the planar surfaces 110 and 129 to the linear connection frame 52. As shown in Figures 48 and 49, the transition piece 266 is W-shaped and approximately 172.7 cm long so that it extends from the top of the linear connecting assembly 50 to the lower part of the lower planar surface 129. Other lengths for the transition piece 276 are possible for the transition piece 276 is adjusted to the height of the linear connection system 50. Other possible lengths for the transition piece 276 are 96.5 and 13 cm. The transition piece 276 has two pairs of holes 222 which are aligned with the C-shaped holes 108 of the beams 84 and 114, respectively. As described above with the panel assembly 218, a pair of connectors 226 is slid into the C-shaped holes 108 and joined to the transition piece 276 with the beams 84 and 114 by inserting the pins 232 into the corresponding holes 222, formed in the transition piece 276 and tightening the bolts 232. The end of the panel assembly 274 has a transition piece which is the same as the transition piece 276. As it appears in figures 50 -53, the transition piece 276 and the transition piece at the end of the panel assembly 274 are compressively joined together by a rectangular clamping tube 284, and a cylindrical clamping rod 285 that is inserted through a hole formed in an upper clamping shoe 287. The clamping rod 285 includes a head 291 and a holding portion 301 located at the end adjacent to the upper clamping shoe 287, wherein the clamping foot stop portion 301 preferably has a larger diameter than the remaining portion of head 291. Head 291 further includes a hole 303 for receiving a hex key, such as an alien key. As shown in Figure 50, the lower part of the clamping tube 284 includes a pair of latches 298 which are aligned with the corresponding holes 300 formed in the lower part of the transition pieces. A reaction shoe 534 can be screwed into the back of the transition pieces 276 and 282 to be located between the transition piece 276 and the linear connection system 50. The joining of the panel assemblies 50 and 274 by the tube 284 is very similar to the attachment of the clamping tube to the frames, as described in the reissued US patent No. Re 32,890, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein, and like the panel assembly sold by Herman Miller, Inc. of Zeeland, Michigan, under the trademark of ETHOSPACE. In particular, the clamping tube 284 is attached by pulling the clamping tube 284 upwards until the lower part 302 of the latches 298 engage the upper part 304 of the holes 300 so that the transition pieces 276 are located between the latches 298 and the clamping tube 284. In addition, a cuneiform surface 312 is inserted through a rectangular hole formed in the clamping tube 284 (see Figures 51-53).

The U-shaped nuts 286 provide an additional connection of the linear connection system 50 and the panel assembly 274. As shown in Figures 50 and 52, the reaction shoes 534 attached to the transition pieces have a cuneiform surface 312 that it forms a channel between the surface 312 and the adjacent transition piece. The clamping shoe 287 has a pair of triangular cuneiform pieces 314 which fit into the channels formed between the surface 312 and the transition pieces 276. The wedge-shaped pieces 314 are compressed in the channels by tightening the threaded head screw 288. It should be noted that the screw 288 has a pair of ring shoulders 316 and 318 that form a space in which the grooves 320 and 322 of the upper planar surfaces 308 and 310, respectively, are inserted. The slots 320 and 322 hold the screw 288 in a fixed vertical position so that the rotation of the screw 288 causes the clamping nut 286 to rise or fall vertically, depending on the direction of rotation of the screw 288. It should be noted that a material 532 can be inserted between the transition pieces 276 and 282 to prevent the passage of light through the connection. It should be noted that the union Described in advance of the linear connection frame 52 with the panel assembly 274 can be used to join the wing walls 223 with the linear connection frame 52 (FIGS. 73-74). This is accomplished by joining the transition piece of the panel assembly 274 to one end of the wing wall 223 and using the same joining scheme as shown in Figure 50 to compressively attach the wing wall 223 with the linear connection frame 52. As it appears in figures 42-43, the union of the linear connection system 50 with the panel assembly 274 having a lower height is carried out with elements similar to those described with respect to figures 51-53. For example, an insert, such as the reaction shoes 534 (FIG. 52), joins with the transition piece 276 at a height which is the same as the insert 324 of the panel assembly 274. similar to the transition piece 220, the transition piece 276 has a plurality of pairs of holes (not shown) that receive a pair of screws that are inserted into the holes formed in the insert 324. The adjustment of the screws unites the insert with the insert 276. The upper planar surface 310 has a cuneiform surface 312 that forms a channel as described above with respect to Figure 52. The cuneiform portion of the insert of the transition piece It also forms a channel. In a manner similar to that described with respect to Figures 51-53, the channels receive the cuneiform pieces 314 of a threaded head screw 288 which is attached to a cut fastener tube 284 having a height extending from the upper planar surface 310 to the bottom of the comb system 274. As described above, the screw 288 is tightened so that the cuneiform pieces 314 are compressively engaged to the channels.

It should be noted that prior to the insertion of the cuneiform pieces 314 into the channels, the clamping tube 284 is joined by inserting the latches 298 into the holes 300, and pulling the clamping tube 284 upwards to the lower part 302 of the latches 298 are coupled to the upper part 304 of the holes 300 so that the transition pieces 278 and 282 are located between the locks 298 and the holding tube 284 (see figure 53). It should be noted that the upper planar surface 310 has a groove 322 as described above and the insert has a groove. The screw 288 is inserted in both slots so that the rotation of the screw 288 causes the clamping nut 286 to rise or fall vertically, depending on the direction of rotation of the screw 288. In addition, a front planar surface 328 is attached to both parts of transition to extend from the upper planar surface 308 to the upper planar surface 310 and has a perpendicular flange 330 which is attached to the upper planar surface 310. From the embodiments described above, it appears that the transition piece 220 can join the system of combs 274 in any portion along the length of the linear connection frame 52 by sliding the connectors 226 through the C-shaped holes 108 until they are aligned with the end of the panel system 274. An example of a connector 226 to be used with the union of figures 41-54 appears in figures 81 AC which has a similar size and shape and operates and functions ona in the same manner as the connector 226 of Figures 31-40.

Another example of joining the linear connection system 50 to another panel assembly appears in Figures 79-80. The linear connection system 50 can be attached to an assembly of panels 331 by attaching the transition piece 276 to the beams 84 and 114 in the same manner as described above with respect to Figures 41-53. The transition piece in the shape of W 220 (see figures 39-40) has a rectangular central portion receiving a T-shaped piece of wood or plastic extrusion 502 where the side edges 504 of the piece 502 are inserted underneath. the edges 505 of the transition piece 276. The piece 502 has grooves formed therein with a pair of holes for receiving the connectors 226 and the bolts 232. The end of the panel assembly 331 is attached to the piece of wood 502 by inserting two screws in a manner through holes in the transition piece 536 attached to the end of the panel assembly 331 and in the piece of wood 502. It should be noted that the filler material (not illustrated) can be inserted between the transition pieces 276 and 536 to prevent the passage of light through the connection. A bushing 538 can also be inserted into the upper hole between the transition pieces 276 and 536. It should be noted that the union described above of the linear connection frame 52 with the panel assembly 331 can be used to join the wing walls 223 to the linear connection frame 52. This is carried out by joining the transition piece 276 with the piece in a manner 502 at one end of the wing wall 223 and using the same connection scheme by way of screws, as shown in the figures 79-80. As shown in Figure 83, the linear connection frame 52 can be attached to a movable cabinet 540, such as the cabinet sold under the trademark of LIASON by Herman Miller, Inc. The joint is made in the same manner as the joint of the linear connection frame 52 with the panel assembly of Figure 38B. A transition piece 542 similar in structure and function to the transition piece 220 is attached to a side wall or a rear wall of the cabinet 540. The insert pieces 266 are joined to the transition pieces 220 and 542 in the manner described with with respect to Figure 38B. As described previously, the pieces 266 have an upwardly extending channel in which the cuneiform portions 250 and 252 of the clamping shoe 240 can be inserted (see Figure 38B). The lower portion of the transition piece 220 has a shoe 242 with a cuneiform portion extending upwardly joined thereto by screws. The lower portion of the transition piece 542 also has a shoe 242 attached thereto but the cuneiform portion extends downwardly. In a similar way to that in figure 38A, a screw (not shown) is inserted through a threaded hole of the clamping shoe 240. The adjustment of the screw causes the cuneiform portions 250, 252 to engage the channels of the insertion parts 266 and the shoes of the clamping shoes. transition pieces 220 and 542. In addition, the adjustment of the screw causes the shoes 240 and 242 to pull so that they engage with each other by compression.

U-shaped 332 joins the brackets L 92 of the lower beam 114 in a manner similar to the U-shaped bracket 332 attached to the brackets L 92 of the upper beam 84. Each of the U-shaped brackets 332 has a somewhat rectangular support plate 340 that extends upward and perpendicular to the legs 334. The support plate 340 has a pair of holes and which are spaced and measured to receive the bolts 232 of the connector parts 226 that they are inserted in the channels C 108 of the beams 84 and 114 of the linear connection frame 52B.
