Publication number: 20180328031Abstract: A demountable modular wall system for a building having a floor and a ceiling. The system includes panels having a top end and a bottom end with a movement direction defined perpendicularly therebetween. A height adjustment mechanism is positioned between the bottom end of one of the panels and the floor. The height adjustment mechanism has a mounting bracket that sandwiches the bottom end of the one of the panels. The height adjustment mechanism includes a receiving cylinder that threadingly engages with a first member. The first member also threadingly engages with a second member positioned between the first member and the floor. The first member is moveable relative to the receiving cylinder in the movement direction such that rotation of the first member selectively adjusts the height of the one of the panels.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 25, 2018Publication date: November 15, 2018Applicant: Krueger International, Inc.Inventors: Andrew J.

Patent number: 10018349Abstract: A demountable wall system that includes a base trim that receives an accent lighting assembly. The lower trim of the demountable wall system includes one or more lighting base trim sections that receive an accent lighting assembly. The accent lighting assembly includes an extruded diffuser formed from a transparent plastic material. The diffuser receives a light strip having a series of spaced LED lights each positioned to project light through a curved, projection wall of the diffuser. When the accent lighting assembly is mounted to the lighting base trim member, the accent lighting assembly projects light downward toward the floor and onto an angled face wall of the lighting base trim member. The lighting base trim member can selectively replace decorative base trim members of the demountable wall system.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2017Date of Patent: July 10, 2018Assignee: Krueger International, Inc.Inventor: Shawn D.

Patent number: 9629465Abstract: A lounge chair having a seat shell that defines a chair back and a seat is pivotally movable about a stationary base. The stationary base includes a concave support surface having a shape that generally corresponds with a convex outer surface of the seat shell. A swivel disc is positioned between the seat shell and the base to allow the seat shell to pivot about the stationary base. The interaction between a pivot post formed on the base and a pivot limiting guide formed in the seat shell defines the range of movement for the seat shell. A bias member connects the seat shell to the seat base and creates a bias force to urge the seat shell into an upright seating position. The base includes a series of glide buttons that support the swivel disc to allow the seat shell to pivot relative to the stationary base.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2016Date of Patent: April 25, 2017Assignee: Krueger International, Inc.Inventors: Scott J.

Patent number: 9617732Abstract: A wall panel system including a plurality of wall panels that can be positioned adjacent to each other. Each of the individual wall panels includes an attachment slot that is positioned between upper and lower panel sections. The attachment slot allows external components to be mounted to the wall panel. Each individual wall panel includes a height adjustment mechanism having a support block positioned within an open interior of a bottom cross support rail. The support block receives an adjustment rod that is rotatable to adjust the height of the wall panel. The support block of the height adjustment mechanism includes support flanges that support the weight of the wall panel. The top cross support rail includes an attachment slot that receives a door track for supporting a sliding door.
