Abstract
A desk frame (1) for trader desks is described including a first lateral support (2), a first vertical support (5), and a first cross support (11) interconnected to each other at respective ends, a second lateral support (21) superposed onto the first lateral support (2), a diagonal support (23) interconnected to the second lateral support (21) and inclined at an angle with respect to an axis of the second lateral support (21), and a third lateral support (24) interconnected to the diagonal support (23). Supports may be interconnected to each other by three-way corner connectors (67) or angled connectors (73), and they may be directly connected to one another by adding an insert (20) seated within an indentation of a support and a fastener engaging the insert. The desk frame (1) is strengthened by two-way gussets (114) and three-way gussets (84) located at junctions of supports. The desk frame (1) may be further provided with an extension (91) to guide doors (42) allowing for storage and access to wiring within the desk frame (1). A back railing (128) is attached to an upper support (29) to define the back of desk frame (1), to provide accessory mounting attachments allowing installation of such objects as monitor stands, shelves, and lamps, and to facilitate capping of a back-to-back connection of desk frame (1) with another desk frame. A method for permitting side-to-side connection between such desk frames is also described.
