First Claim
1. A beam assembly for subdividing a floor plan area, comprising:
- a horizontally extending beam member including an interiorly-facing surface, and a bottom wall having at least one aperture extending therethrough;
at least one horizontally extending lower frame member located below the beam member; and
at least one vertical frame member extending between and coupled with the beam member and the at least one lower frame member,wherein the at least one vertical frame member extends through the at least one aperture in the bottom wall of the beam member and interferingly engages the interiorly-facing surface of the beam member.

Abstract
A beam assembly for subdividing a floor plan area comprises a horizontally-extending beam member including an interiorly-facing surface, a bottom wall having at least one aperture extending therethrough, and at least one horizontally-extending lower frame member located below the beam member. The beam assembly further comprises at least one vertical frame member extending between and coupled with the beam member and the at least one lower frame member, wherein the at least one vertical frame member extends through the at least one aperture and the bottom wall of the beam member and interferingly engages the interior-facing surface of the beam member.

9. A beam assembly for subdividing a floor plan area, comprising:
-
a horizontally extending upper frame member defining an uppermost edge of a beam assembly; at least one horizontally extending lower frame member located below the upper frame member, the lower frame member being the lowermost horizontally extending frame member; a plurality of vertical frame members extending between and coupling the upper frame member with the at least one lower frame member; and a pair of cover members disposed on opposite sides of the vertical frame members, wherein each of the cover members extend from a first location in clear proximity to the upper frame member to a second location located beneath the lower frame member, wherein the pair of cover members cooperate to form a wireway therebetween that is located below the lower frame member. - View Dependent Claims (5, 6, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 22, 23, 24)

17. A beam assembly for subdividing a floor plan area, comprising:
-
a horizontally extending beam member defining an upper edge of a beam assembly; at least one horizontally extending lower frame member located below the upper frame member; a plurality of vertical frame members extending between and coupling the upper frame member with the at least one lower frame member; and a pair of cover members disposed on opposite sides of the vertical frame members, at least one of the cover members including an upper edge spaced from the beam member sufficiently to allow electrical/communication lines to be routed between the upper edge of the at least one cover member and the beam member. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21)
