US Patent 10258157 Functional rail and worksurface support

A functional rail system is mounted to the top of a modular office panel and supports a worksurface on the rail with the worksurface locked in position along the rail. The rail includes a channel in the upper surface for receiving an accessory, and a side accessory slot for mounting the worksurface. The worksurface may be mounted via an upper bracket and a lower bracket interfitted with each other and the side accessory slot to frictionally lock the brackets in place along the longitudinal length of the slot.
