  • Publication number: 20060249060
    Abstract: A height adjustable furniture component has an elongate outer member and an elongate inner member. The outer member has a first end, a second end, and a shoulder at the first end. An inner member is telescopically received in the first end of the outer member to move longitudinally relative to the outer member. The inner member has at least two spaced apart grooves. A locking device in the form of a split ring is configured for selective engagement with the grooves of the inner member and configured such that when engaged with one of the grooves, a portion of the split ring projects from the periphery of the inner member to engage against the shoulder of the outer member to maintain the inner and outer members in their relative longitudinal positions.

  • Patent number: 6779857
    Abstract: A door structure includes a door frame having edge portions of which at least some are curved. The door structure further includes a flexible door panel which is pivotable between an open configuration and a closed configuration. The door panel is resiliently deformable from a substantially flat configuration to a curved configuration which corresponds to the curvature of the curved edge portions of the door frame. In the closed configuration the door panel is adapted to adopt the curved configuration and in the open position, the door panel is freely straightenable to the substantially flat configuration. The door structure may be embodied in a storage structure which includes a framework defining an interior including a storage space and an opening to the storage space. The door panel may be hingedly connected to an auxiliary portion which is slidably mounted substantially within the interior of the framework.

  • Publication number: 20010040205
    Abstract: A work station support comprises two mounting brackets arranged in use to be attached to a work station top at a spaced relationship. Each mounting bracket has a fixing plate and an arm extending from said fixing plate. Two separate key hole slots are formed on each fixing plate at a locus about a center of rotation of the fixing plate. The key hole slots are formed to engage studs projecting from the table top when the fixing plates are rotated in opposite directions. A post upwardly extends from each mounting bracket. Outwardly projecting from the top end of each post is an arm. A shelf is supported on and extends between the arms. A rail also extends between the posts and functions as a back stop for the shelf. A retainer is slidably mounted on the rail and partially extends across the shelf.

  • Patent number: 6289826
    Abstract: A work station support comprises two mounting brackets (4) arranged in use to be attached to a work station top (1) at a spaced relationship. Each mounting bracket (4) has a fixing plate (5) and an arm (6) extending from said fixing plate (5), two separate key hole slots (11, 12) formed in said fixing plate (5) at a locus about a center of rotation of said fixing plate (5). The wider part (13) of each key hole slot is adapted to engage over the head of a mounting stud (17) in use and upon rotation of the fixing plate (5), the stud is moved to the narrower part (14) of each key hole slot (11, 12). The said key hole slots (11, 12) are formed to require the fixing plates (5) to be rotated in opposite directions to move to the engaged position.

  • Patent number: 4636106
    Abstract: A coaxial joint for joining inner and outer cylindrical members permitting rotational and/or linear movement between them, comprises an outer bushing sleeve non-rotatably receivable within the outer cylindrical member, an inner bushing sleeve formed with a central bore for receiving the inner cylindrical member; a first group of longitudinally-extending, circumferentially-spaced ribs formed between the inner and outer sleeves; and a second group of such ribs formed in staggered relationship with respect to the first group on the outer face of the outer sleeve and effective, when forcibly received within the outer cylindrical member, to distort inwardly the portions of the outer sleeve between the first group of ribs and thereby to minimize the distortion of the inner sleeve.
