Abstract

An enclosure for a movable furniture partition system is provided which includes an elongate housing disposed at an edge portion of a panel member. This housing contains electrical conduits and outlets or similar devices and defines a trough with a top opening and moveable side walls. A cover normally closes this opening; and a connecting assembly connects the cover with the trough. This assembly allows a user to open the side walls of the trough. It also allows a user to lift the entire cover from a position normally closing the opening to a raised position above the trough. When the user raises the cover above its closed position, he or she may also displace the cover laterally of the trough.
