Abstract

The present invention relates to office panelling systems and in particular to office panelling systems having improved construction. The frame of the panels provides an improved electrical power feed arrangement within the panel as well as more convenient access to power outlets within the panel. The frame is also designed for enhanced cooperation with filing cabinets and filing bins to provide lower support for such cabinets and bins when hung from the office panel, particularly when the bin or cabinet is intermediary vertical supports of the frame.
