A raceway for a curved wall panel, which raceway is formed by two substantially identical raceway cover members which are of substantially L-shaped cross section and include a substantially vertical leg which defines a side cover and a lower substantially horizontal leg. The vertical leg has a tang which projects inwardly adjacent the upper edge thereof for wedging engagement with the wall panel. The cover member is initially constructed as a straight elongated member having sufficient flexibility to enable it to be bent inwardly or outwardly to conform to the curvature of the wall panel. The lower leg, in the longitudinal direction is formed by a plurality of toothlike projections spaced by intermediate recesses so that the lower leg can be readily bent to conform to the curvature of the panel. Each toothlike projection terminates in a hook so that, when the opposed inner and outer covers members are secured to the panel, the hooks cam past one another and then hookingly engage to secure the inner and outer cover members together.

In combination, an upright space-dividing wall panel which is horizontally curved, and a raceway structure removably attached to the lower edge of said curved panel and extending longitudinally therealong, the raceway structure including first and second removable covers which are positioned approximately coextensive with the opposite sides of the curved panel and project down from the lower edge thereof, each of the covers being of a flexible plastic material so as to be bent into the curved configuration of the panel, comprising the improvement wherein each of said first and second covers has a generally L-shaped cross section and includes a vertical side leg and a bottom leg which projects inwardly from the side leg adjacent the lower end thereof, each bottom leg being of a saw tooth configuration in the longitudinal direction of the cover as defined by a plurality of cantilevered projections spaced apart by intermediate recesses so as to permit bending of the cover to conform to the curvature of the panel, and hook means on said opposed covers at longitudinal intervals therealong for holding the opposed covers in conformance with the curvature of the panel, said hook means being formed integrally on said cantilevered projections adjacent the free ends thereof, the cantilevered projections on the opposed covers projecting inwardly toward one another so that the hook means on one cover engage the hook means on the other cover, said hook means including upwardly and outwardly oriented hooks provided on cantilevered projections of one said cover and downwardly and outwardly oriented hooks on cantilevered projections of the other cover, the upwardly and downwardly oriented hooks being engaged with one another when the covers are mounted on the curved panel to prevent outward separation between the opposed covers.
