Abstract

The invention is directed to a modular electrical system attachable to a modular office partition, including an electrical distribution assembly with at least two projections extending from one side thereof. At least two projection receiving members are associated with the partition, and engageable with a respective projection. At least one resilient retainer device is biased to a retaining position for securably and releasably maintaining at least one of the projections in engagement with a respective receiving member. The resilient retainer device is also movable to a disengaging position allowing the at least one projection to be disengaged from the respective receiving member.
