The specification discloses a partition system in which any gap between an end partition and an existing wall is concealed by a combination rigid channel and flexible cover. The rigid channel embraces and provides firm anchorage for the end of the partition and a flexible cover on each side of said channel conceals the rigid channel and any gap between the partition and a fixed wall from view. Yet, the flexible cover can be deflected to provide access to hanger bracket slots or the like which might be located at the end of the partition.

A floor-to-ceiling portion system comprising: a partition for placement in proximity to an existing wall; a rigid channel for mounting on an existing wall and including spaced rigid sidewalls engaging the opposite sides of said partition at the end thereof and a base wall joining said channel sidewalls; a pair of flexible cover members, said rigid channel and said cover members including cooperating mounting means whereby one of said flexible cover members is mounted to cover each of the opposite sidewalls of said rigid channel; said mounting means includes a slot at each side of said rigid channel being defined by a pair of back walls, jutting rearwardly from said base wall and then extending in a direction generally parallel to said base wall, and in opposite directions to one another, to thereby define at each side of said rigid channel a slot between each of said back walls and said base wall, and a prong flange on said flexible cover extending in one direction which is frictionally fitted into said slot; and each of said cover members including an elongated flexible cover flap, which is longer than each of said sidewalls of said rigid channel, whereby said flexible cover flap extends outwardly past the end of said partition and into engagement with a side of said partition to present to the viewer a generally flush, continuous appearance at the end of said partition in the vicinity of said pre-existing wall; said flexible cover flap having a resiliency which permits said cover flap to be resiliently pulled outward a significant amount so that access may be had to the covered end of said partition.
