The proximal end of each bristle tuft is secured into each bristle tuft retention element. The platen portion of the brush neck is positioned in relation to the proximal ends of the bristle tufts in the retaining elements to define a space in relation to the proximal ends of the bristle tufts. A flexible material is injected into the space to create a flexible material matrix that at least partially encompasses the neck and the proximal ends of the bristle tufts. At least a portion of an exterior of the flexible material matrix is coated with a protective coating.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 28, 2019Publication date: November 19, 2020Inventors: EVAN DAK WAH DENGLER, GERARD CNOSSEN, RICHARD WILLIAM LIPTAK, YAN GAO

Publication number: 20200359780Abstract: A table may include a tabletop, a frame, and a leg assembly. The leg assembly may include a support element, a translation mechanism, and a lock device. The support element may include an end structure attached to an elongated structure. The end structure may be rotatably coupled to the frame such that the support element is rotatable relative to the frame between a first position and a second position. The translation mechanism may be retained relative to the support element and the frame. The translation mechanism may be configured to translate along the support element as the support element rotates. The lock device may be configurable in an engaged arrangement in which the lock device fixes the translation mechanism to the support element and in a disengaged arrangement in which the translation mechanism is not fixed relative to the support element.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 16, 2020Publication date: November 19, 2020Inventor: Curtis S.

Publication number: 20200359781Abstract: A system and method for communicatively pairing a mobile communication device and a furniture item, such as a desk or table, includes placing the mobile communication device in a communication zone associated with the furniture item. In response to placing the mobile communication device in the communication zone, a communication link is established between the mobile communication device and a communication circuit of the furniture item. A user interface is then displayed on a display screen of the mobile communication device to show a preset height, such as a standing or sitting height, for the furniture device. When a user selects the preset height, an actuator adjusts the furniture item to the specific height. The communication circuit may use any available wireless communication protocol or circuit.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 3, 2020Publication date: November 19, 2020Inventors: Jeff Gibson, Christopher Hoyt, Nicolas Milani, Kurt Dykema, Dave Moelker, Jared Thomas

Publication number: 20200359785Abstract: A modularized fast assembly lift desk includes a preassembled module, a matched module and a clamping member. The preassembled module includes a combined body formed by connection between a desktop platform and a transverse beam. The matched module includes a lift column including a motor housing. The clamping member includes a fixed connecting end and a movable squeezing end. When a user assembles the lift desk, the fixed connecting end of the clamping member is engaged with the preassembled module. The movable squeezing end of the clamping member is pressed to generate a squeezing force between the movable squeezing end and the motor housing. The motor housing and the preassembled module are fixedly connected to implement locking between the preassembled module and the matched module.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 27, 2018Publication date: November 19, 2020Applicant: ZHEJIANG JIECANG LINEAR MOTION TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD.Inventors: Xiaojian LU, Renchang HU, Weiqiang LI
