This invention relates to a space-dividing wall panel system having a plurality of base panels which are serially connectable one with the other to define a vertically enlarged wall supported on a floor. Each base panel is defined by at least one horizontal box-beam rigidly connected to a pair of laterally spaced apart vertical uprights which are connected at the opposite ends of the box-beam and have a reduced thickness compared thereto. With this clearance between the faces of the box-beam and the uprights, the box-beam, cross rails at the ends of the uprights as well as additional extension panels are formed with longitudinally extending channels which are positioned free of interference with the vertical uprights and aligned with serially-adjacent channels of serially-adjacent wall panels. The channels provide a continuous linear track on the opposite sides of the upright which permit the connection of mounting hooks of furniture components and permit continuous, uninterrupted sliding or adjustment of the furniture components along the entire length of the aligned channels.

[ The embodiments of the invention in which an exclusive property or privilege is claimed are defined as follows:] [1.] A space-dividing wall panel system comprising:a plurality of generally rectangular upright wall panels serially-connected together so as to define a vertically enlarged wall extending upwardly from a floor, each said wall panel having a panel frame disposed in load-bearing relation with the floor;said panel frame comprising a pair of laterally spaced vertical uprights defining opposite ends of said wall panel and horizontal first and second cross members extending laterally between said uprights, said first and second cross members being disposed in vertically spaced relation and having opposite ends rigidly connected to said uprights, each said upright having a width defined between opposite outward facing side surfaces thereof, each of said first and second cross members being horizontally enlarged so as to each have a width defined by laterally extending side surfaces that is greater than said width of said uprights, said first cross member including at least one elongate first channel extending between said opposite ends thereof, said first channel being disposed outwardly of said side surfaces of said uprights in a non-interfering relation therewith and having opposite first and second open ends which open laterally from said opposite ends of said base panel, said first channel being substantially aligned with a serially-adjacent one of said first channels of a serially-adjacent wall panel;each serially-adjacent pair of said first channels having said first open end of one said first channel aligned in communication with said second open end of the other said first channel to define a continuous uninterrupted first track extending laterally between said serially-connected wall panels, said first track being accessible from an exterior of said base panels; andat least one connector assembly having mounting means for mounting a workstation component thereto and connector means for connecting said connector assembly to said first track of said base panel, said connector means having a hook-like member slidably engaged with said first channel, said connector means being slidable between serially-adjacent base panels along said first track.
