Patent number: 11317724Abstract: Electrified lounge furniture formed from joined furniture sections. Each furniture section includes a lounge back, a seat and a base. The seat is designed to be selectively pivotable away from the base. When the furniture sections are joined to each other, an electrical wiring assembly extends between the furniture sections to provide electrical power to each of the furniture sections. Each of the furniture sections includes at least one electrical outlet. The electrical wiring assembly is received on the base of each of the furniture sections and is concealed beneath the seat during normal usage. When the user desires access to the electrical wiring assembly, one or more of the seats can pivot away from the base to provide access to the electrical wiring assembly. After the electrical wiring assembly has been accessed, the seat can pivot back into contact with the base where it is securely held to both the base and the lounge back.Type: GrantFiled: February 10, 2021Date of Patent: May 3, 2022Assignee: Krueger International, Inc.Inventors: Xeng Xue Vang, Scott J.

Patent number: 11076699Abstract: A movable tablet for use with a chair is disclosed. The movable tablet is part of a mounting assembly that allows the tablet to be used with different types of chairs. The mounting assembly includes a stationary pivot rod and an outer housing that surrounds the pivot rod. A lower bearing is positioned between the outer housing and a mounting plate secured to a back face of the tablet. A guide hub of the lower bearing travels within a guide track on the mounting plate secured to the tablet to limit the pivoting movement of the tablet. An upper bearing is positioned between the mounting plate and the tablet such that the upper and lower bearings are positioned between metallic elements of the mounting assembly. A friction disc is positioned within the mounting assembly to control and adjust the pivoting movement of the tablet relative to the stationary pivot bar.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2019Date of Patent: August 3, 2021Assignee: Krueger International, Inc.Inventor: Dennis Griepentrog
