A space dividing system which includes vertically disposed posts and space dividing panels. Each post includes a center core and a plurality of circumferentially spaced, longitudinally extending T-shaped members having a stem or leg portion integrally joined to the core, and a flange spaced outwardly from the core. The space between the core and inner surfaces of the flanges defines vertical wire ways. Each space dividing panel has upper and lower hook-like connector assemblies fixed to its vertical edges. The T-shaped members have predetermined portions of their associated flanges removed to define access openings having flange-defined support edges for supporting the upper and lower hook-like connector assemblies. Flanges of T-shaped members not associated with a space dividing panel are concealed by one or more post covers having retaining beds which removably engage lateral edges of predetermined flanges.

A space dividing system comprising: a vertically disposed post having upper and lower longitudinal ends and a plurality of sides, at least certain of which are flat, a space dividing panel having first and second vertical edges, upper and lower connector assemblies fixed to a vertical edge of said panel, said post having a longitudinally extending central core which is continuous between said upper and lower ends, and a plurality of longitudinally extending, circumferentially spaced leg members extending outwardly from said central core, with each leg member being substantially co-extensive with said central core, each of said leg members having first and second radial ends, the first radial end of each leg member being integrally attached to said central core, at least one flange member fixed to the second radial end of each of said plurality of leg members to define a substantially T-shaped cross-sectional configuration, with at least one of said leg members having a plurality of vertically spaced flange members, said flange members having first and second lateral edges and inner and outer surfaces, with said outer surfaces defining sides of said post, the second radial ends of said leg members being integrally attached to the inner surfaces of the associated flange members, intermediate the first and second lateral edges, the plurality of spaced flange members associated with said at least one leg member defining upper and lower access openings each having a flange-defined lower edge, said central core, leg members, and inner surfaces of the flange member defining vertical wire ways through the post, with the flange members being dimensioned between their lateral edges to provide access spaces to the wire ways between the lateral edges of flange members associated with adjacent leg members, each of said upper and lower connector assemblies including hook means, said upper and lower connector assemblies respectively entering said upper and lower access openings, with the hook means of said upper and lower connector assemblies being respectively supported by the flange-defined lower edges of the upper and lower access openings.
