A panel frame and an acoustical insert frame assembly therefor for office furniture space divider systems, which, as assembled, can be utilized in work stations for both sound attenuation and data and communication cable and wire equipment connection masking and pass through purposes as well as mask
A panel frame and an acoustical insert frame assembly therefor for office furniture space divider systems, which, as assembled, can be utilized in work stations for both sound attenuation and data and communication cable and wire equipment connection masking and pass through purposes as well as masking of slack purposes, in which the panel frame is formed by rigid top, bottom, and side rails to define an open center structure therebetween of quadrilateral configuration that forms the panel frame, and has the usual front and rear sides; the insert frame assembly is mounted on the panel frame to complete the panel, as by being mounted on the front side of the frame, or by having a separate but similar insert frame assembly mounted on the rear side of the frame; each insert frame assembly comprises a supplemental frame that seats within the panel frame open center and mounts within the supplemental frame composite material that both effects sound attenuation and, within the metes and bounds of the supplemental frame, presents an area of and through the insert frame assembly that is cutable, and in “the field”if desired after installation, to form aperturing for local accommodation of data and communications cabling and wiring, as for slack take up of same within the panel, or for pass through purposes through the panel, or both, with the location or locations of such aperturing thus being at the option of the panel user.

A panel of the office furniture type that defines a front side that forms the working side of the panel at which electrically operated equipment may be optionally located, and an opposite rear side, with the panel being arranged at a predetermined area of the panel front side for sound attenuation,
A panel of the office furniture type that defines a front side that forms the working side of the panel at which electrically operated equipment may be optionally located, and an opposite rear side, with the panel being arranged at a predetermined area of the panel front side for sound attenuation, and also for optional local accommodation capability and internal masking capability, of electrical conduiting for operating such electrically operated equipment, said panel comprising: a rigid panel frame of open centered quadrilateral configuration including a rigid top, bottom, and side rail members fixedly assembled to form said panel frame and the front and rear sides thereof, and define an open space of quadrilateral configuration, with said rail members being disposed in marginal relation about said open space, and an insert frame assembly for application to said panel frame over and across said open space thereof at the predetermined area of the panel working side, said insert frame assembly having a rear side and a front side, and means for mounting said insert frame assembly on said front side of said panel frame with said rear side of said insert frame assembly in overlying relation to said panel frame and the front side of said insert frame assembly facing forwardly of said front side of said panel frame and the panel front side, said insert frame assembly comprising: a rigid supplemental generally planar frame of outer and inner quadrilateral marginal configuration, and proportioned to extend between said panel frame side rail members when said insert frame is mounted on said panel frame, said inner marginal configuration of said supplemental frame assembly defining a planar space that is coplanar of said supplemental frame assembly, said insert frame assembly for the area of said supplemental frame space being comprised solely of a continuous and uninterrupted mass of acoustical masking material that has both sound attenuation characteristics and defines the panel predetermined area transversely of the panel, said material being constituted transversely thereof for electrical conduiting pass through providing aperture formation transversely of said insert frame assembly and anywhere within the metes and bounds of the panel predetermined area, whereby the panel at the predetermined area thereof provides the option of later in field providing of such aperture formation therein and anywhere within said metes and bounds of the panel predetermined area, for egress of such electrical conduiting transversely of the panel, as needed for operating such electrical equipment.
