  • Patent number: 6796614
    Abstract: A modular furniture unit is disclosed. The furniture unit includes a base which is capable of releasably securing various furniture modules. The base frame has walls with a plurality of slots for accommodating the insertion of tongue portions extending from the furniture modules. The slots are accessed through the base's cover which may be opened and closed at various locations, for example, by a continuous two-way zipper having a plurality of pull tabs. The cover is opened in selected locations to allow insertion of the tongue portions into the slots, but is otherwise closed to hide the unused slots. The furniture modules can be easily and conveniently removed and repositioned allowing the units to be reconfigured. The tongue may be retained in the slots by a downwardly angled relationship between the slots and the tongues.
