Abstract:
The proposed connecting system for modular structures, in particular tables and/or desks, includes a junction block, which features a pair of coplanar horizontal plates. Support and stabilization means of a pair of bars are connected to the horizontal plates. The support members support the junction block.
Abstract:
The table includes tubular legs and nodes or technical pieces having a bottom arm to be plugged into the tubular legs and lateral slots for the tongued and grooved coupling of pieces at the end of arms constituted in pairs and connected to each other, those of one pair to the ones of the other pair by means of an intermediate tensor rod so as to configure a horizontal structure associated to the legs. A board is screwed both to the nodes and to the intermediate frame, particularly to plates connecting each pair of arms to the intermediate tensor rod.
Abstract:
A support assembly for supporting an object on a floor. The support assembly includes a leg member and a heel member mounted on said leg member. The heel member is adapted to engage the floor. A foot member is pivotally attached to the leg member. The foot member is adapted to pivot between an upright storage position and a lateral support position. When in the lateral support position, the foot member is adapted to engage the floor at a point spaced apart from the heel member. In a preferred embodiment, a cover is provided to conceal the foot member when placed in the upright storage position. In a preferred embodiment, the heel member comprises a height adjustable glide device that includes a base portion and a stem portion extending upwardly from the base portion. A shaft is disposed in the stem portion and operable engages an actuator disposed in a cavity formed in the base portion. The shaft operably engages the leg member to provide vertical adjustment of the leg member. In a preferred embodiment, the support assembly also includes a support bracket releasably mounted to the leg member. The support bracket and leg member are adapted so as to permit the support bracket to be rotated between at least three positions relative to the leg member.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a beam member for furniture and mainly including a long body having an ellipse-shaped cross section. Two symmetrical L-shaped rails are formed along outer surface of an upper half of the long body to define a sector-shaped channel between them. A similar L-shaped rail and a linear groove are formed along outer surface of a lower half of the long body, and a closed channel having a locating recess is formed inside the long body between the lower L-shaped rail and the linear groove. Different members, such as seat members, back members, supporting arms and leg members, may be correspondingly connected to the L-shaped rails and the channels to form different articles of furniture. The wide usage of the beam member in different furniture enables it to be produced in large quantity at reduced cost.
Abstract:
A desk frame (1) for trader desks is provided comprising 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 means of 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) provided 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 means 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. Means for permitting side-to-side connection between such desk frames is also provided.
Abstract:
An article of furniture includes a frame to which is attached a removable panel having fixed fastening means adjacent its top and bottom edge. The bottom-most fastener means are pivotally engageable with fixed brackets on the frame while the top-most fastener means are insertable through the frame and subsequently locked in an assembled position by means of a reciprocal latch member operable only from within the confines of the furniture article.
Abstract:
In one form a support and its mounting are disclosed as a leg and a plug on which the leg is secured to attach the leg to a pedestal of a desk. Additional fasteners may be used to secure the leg to the plug as well as the pedestal, and the plug is capable of preventing rotation of the leg about its longitudinal axis relative to the pedestal.
