  • Patent number: 11832719
    Abstract: A furniture assembly can include a tabletop with removable legs. The removable legs can be attached to the tabletop with a socket having a threaded member mounted in a non-fixed and anti-rotation registration at the bottom of the socket. The legs can be mounted to the socket by insertion and turning for threaded engagement. The floating engagement mechanism can allow the threaded fastener member to move during installation to provide for enhanced alignability between the leg and the threaded fastener member.

  • Patent number: 10058185
    Abstract: A seating structure employing a thermoplastic flexor defining the flexibility and stiffness of a seatback is provided. The seating structure may comprise a seat portion for supporting a user, a seatback portion for supporting a user, a frame for supporting the seat portion and the seatback portion, one or more base portions extending at an angle from the seatback portion, and one or more thermoplastic flexors affixed to or within the seatback and base portions of the seating structure. The thermoplastic flexor has certain material characteristics which define and limit the deflection and a rebound of the seatback portion relative to the base portion when under load. The seating structure may further comprise one or more anchors securing the seatback portion, base portion, and thermoplastic flexor to the frame.

  • Publication number: 20060189462
    Abstract: The exercise devices disclosed herein are configurable to allow a user to perform various exercises. The exercise device can include an adjustable bench assembly connected with a frame supporting a cable-pulley assembly providing a user interface with a resistance system. A user can interface with an actuation component to pull resistance cables against resistance from the resistance system. Various exercise accessories can be provided that are easily connected with and removed from the exercise device to allow a user to perform different exercises. Some examples of exercise accessories are used to configure the exercise device for squat, abdominal, leg extension, leg curl, and arm curl exercises. The frame can also be configured to selectively place the exercise device in a stationary operating configuration supported by the frame on a support surface and a storage configuration wherein the exercise device is rollingly supported on the support surface by wheels.
