  • Patent number: 6585117
    Abstract: A modular organizer includes a plurality of walls, two faceplates, and a plurality of shelves. In a storage mode, the walls and shelves of the organizer are stored within the containing walls of the faceplates. The containing walls of the faceplates are each equipped with an exterior edge that presents an uneven outline. When the uneven outlines of each faceplate are positioned adjacent each other, a substantially sealed interface is created containing the walls and shelves within. In an organizer mode, the walls are supported by, and serve to separate the faceplates. The shelves are placed within the structure formed by the walls and are positionable between a display and storage position. Each faceplate of each modular organizer is identically configured to incorporate at least one post and hole pair.

  • Patent number: 5836555
    Abstract: An improved industrial chair having a mechanism for adjusting the position of a support column in relation to a fixed platform, such as a chair base portion. The chair comprises a support column having an exterior surface with a plurality of engaging surfaces arranged along the length of the column for selectively engaging portions of a coupling. The coupling is shaped for selectively engaging the support column and positioning the support column relative to the fixed platform. The coupling has an inner surface shaped for contacting the support column engaging surfaces in a substantially matched shape friction fit, and the coupling further has an adjustable circumference structure for permitting selection between locking engagement and relative movement between the support column and the coupling. The chair further has structure suitable for operably retaining the coupling in fixed relation to the support platform.
