Abstract

A utility distribution apparatus comprises an inner wall removably mounted on an outer wall within a building structure. The inner and outer walls create a chase for air flow. A floor surface forms a generally closed corner with the outer wall. The inner wall is spaced apart from, and above the floor. One or more horizontally oriented utility conduits are supported from the floor surface or the outer wall and are positioned below the chase. A utility cover is fixed to the inner wall and extends to the floor surface for hiding the utility conduits. A lower and an upper apertures in the outer wall are positioned for receiving and expelling an air flow through the chase.

1. 1. A utility distribution apparatus comprising in combination: an inner wall removably mounted by a means for hanging from an outer wall within a building structure; the inner and outer walls creating a chase therebetween for air flow; a floor surface forming a generally closed corner with the outer wall, the inner wall spaced apart from, and above the floor; at least one horizontally oriented utility conduit supported from at least one of the floor surface and the outer wall and positioned below the chase, adjacent the outer wall within the closed corner; a utility cover fixed to the inner wall and extending to the floor surface; a lower and an upper apertures in the outer wall positioned for receiving and expelling an air flow through the chase.
2. 8. A utility distribution apparatus comprising in combination: an inner wall removably mounted by a means for hanging from an outer wall within a building structure; the inner and outer walls creating a chase therebetween for air flow; at least one horizontally oriented utility conduit supported on the hanging means, a lower and an upper apertures in the outer wall positioned for receiving and expelling an air flow through the chase; plural vertical layers of a sheet material sandwiched between the inner and outer walls within the chase, each of the layers providing a field of spacing elements extending outwardly from a surface of the sheet material and creating open voids between the layers for accommodating the air flow.
