Title:
SELECTIVELY VARIABLE MODULAR SPACE SYSTEM WITH SHELVING AND ENCLOSURES
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2000074524
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
An improved modular space system is shown and described. A first lower frame resting on a support surface such as the floor is coupled to a second frame spaced from and aligned in parallel relationship to the first frame by a plurality of posts. Each post has a bore provided in each of a top and bottom surface to receive a stud extending toward the post from one of the frames. Each of the frames has a substantially tubular cross section, and each of the top and bottom surfaces of the post is provided with a groove, having a curvature to matingly engage the tubular outer surface of the frames. Planar members are received by and extend between slots provided in the posts to provide three sides of a substantially rectangular enclosure. Supports provided on the inner surfaces of the planar members have a series of equally spaced holes, allowing an end user to position sets of rails at selected locations within the enclosure. The rails receive shelves, or slidingly receive drawers, or a combination thereof. If desired, a door is pivotally coupled between opposing surfaces of two of the forward posts. Additional frames are coupled to the enclosure in longitudinally spaced relation to each other via spacers, to form open-sided columns. Two or more columns may be coupled together via boards that extend between and rest along parallel upper surfaces of the frames, to provide a horizontal work surface.
