Abstract

A space dividing system which includes vertically disposed posts and space dividing panels. Each post includes a center core and a plurality of circumferentially spaced, longitudinally extending T-shaped members having a stem or leg portion integrally joined to the core, and a flange spaced outwardly from the core. The space between the core and inner surfaces of the flanges defines vertical wire ways. Each space dividing panel has upper and lower hook-like connector assemblies fixed to its vertical edges. The T-shaped members have predetermined portions of their associated flanges removed to define access openings having flange-defined support edges for supporting the upper and lower hook-like connector assemblies. Flanges of T-shaped members not associated with a space dividing panel are concealed by one or more post covers having retaining beds which removably engage lateral edges of predetermined flanges.
