WORKSPACE WALL PANELS AND SYSTEMS INCLUDING SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240011285 titled 'WORKSPACE WALL PANELS AND SYSTEMS INCLUDING SAME

Simplified Explanation

The abstract of this patent application describes a wall panel for a workspace system. The wall panel includes a monolithic wall portion and a cover carried by the monolithic wall portion. The monolithic wall portion has a first surface, an aperture with a wall opening formed on the first surface, and a second surface opposite the first surface. The cover has a channel adjacent to the first surface, and the channel and the aperture together define an internal chamber. The cover also includes a cover opening coupled to the channel. The wall panel further includes an electrical assembly carried in the internal chamber, which includes a receptacle accessible via the cover opening.

  • The innovation is a wall panel for a workspace system that includes a monolithic wall portion and a cover.
  • The monolithic wall portion has a first surface, an aperture with a wall opening, and a second surface.
  • The cover has a channel adjacent to the first surface, and the channel and the aperture together define an internal chamber.
  • The cover also includes a cover opening coupled to the channel.
  • The wall panel includes an electrical assembly carried in the internal chamber, which includes a receptacle accessible via the cover opening.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Workspace systems in offices, co-working spaces, and other commercial environments.
  • Modular wall systems for dividing spaces and creating privacy.
  • Integration of electrical outlets and receptacles into wall panels.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Provides a convenient and accessible electrical receptacle in a workspace system.
  • Offers a modular and customizable solution for dividing spaces and creating privacy.
  • Simplifies the installation and integration of electrical components into wall panels.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Increases the functionality and versatility of workspace systems.
  • Enhances the aesthetics of the workspace by concealing electrical components.
  • Improves the accessibility and convenience of electrical outlets in a workspace.
