Abstract
Panel construction for an office system formed from a frame (18) defining the perimeter of a panel. A septum (14) having a central body portion (14b) supported in a plane internal to the frame is used. The septum has an edge portion (14d) that forms an angle with respect to the central body portion of the septum (14b). The frame includes a septum support (18c) against which the septum edge portion (14d) bears. An outer skin (10) of the panel bears against the septum edge portion (14d) urging the latter against the septum support (18c). Frame pieces (18) are joined at corners by a clip (20) having first and second legs (20b) connected to corresponding first surfaces (18-1) of adjacent frame pieces. An intermediate web (20a) joins the legs (20b), and a tab (20d) is joined to the web (20a) for connection to corresponding second surfaces (18- 2) of adjacent frame pieces.
