Abstract

Cette invention a trait à des améliorations apportées à un ensemble de mobilier de bureau polyvalent. Cet ensemble est équipé d'un nouveau mécanisme d'interverrouillage (70) permettant d'assembler facilement différents éléments de structure selon diverses configurations et ce, de manière à créer des postes de travail des plus efficaces. Cet ensemble est constitué de piliers de support verticaux (27), conçus selon une configuration unique, auxquels vient se raccorder, rapidement et facilement, un certain nombre de différents éléments de structure constituant un poste de travail polyvalent, très attrayant, facile à assembler, à adapter et à démonter, d'une structure fiable et d'une longue durée d'utilisation. Ce nouvel agencement s'adapte facilement à des restructurations du mobilier de travail dans des bureaux.
