First Claim
1. A vertical service outlet wall comprising:
- (a) at least one generally planar vertical wall member;
(b) at least one service outlet;
(c) at least one generally linear section of said wall member defining first guide surface means arranged to receive and movably support said at least one service outlet;
(d) at least one service conduit connecting said at least one service outlet to a service source and being of a length sufficient to accommodate movement of said at least one service outlet to different portions along said linear section;
(e) means for housing said at least one service conduit connecting said at least one service outlet to a service source, said housing means being adjacent said at least one generally linear section and being configured to conceal and protect said at least one service conduit; and
(f) said at least one service outlet including second guide surface means mateable with and movable along said first guide surface means so that said at least one service outlet is movable along said at least one generally linear section to permit placement of said at least one service outlet at different positions along said at least one generally linear section and to simultaneously reposition said at least one service conduit connected to said at least one service outlet within said housing to maintain said at least one service conduit in a concealed and protected condition.

Abstract
A service outlet wall comprising at least one generally planar wall member, at least one section of which is adapted to receive one or more service outlets having a service conduits connected thereto and leading to service sources is disclosed. Means for housing the conduits is provided. The housing means is adjacent to the linear sections of the wall member and is configured to conceal and protect the service conduit. The service outlets are movable along the linear sections of the wall member, permitting placement of the service outlets at different positions along the linear sections. The service conduits connected to the outlets are simultaneously repositioned while maintaining the conduits in a concealed and protected position. A rail system for providing service outlets to particular locations in a room while simultaneously positioning service conduit connected to the outlets is also disclosed.
