  • Patent number: 11647835
    Abstract: A storage assembly includes top and bottom walls, a pair of end walls extending between the top and bottom walls and cooperating with the top and bottom walls to define an interior space, and at least one end surface configured to closely interfit with at least one end surface of an adjacent storage assembly that is substantially similar to the storage assembly at a predefined angular orientation such that a longitudinal axis of the storage assembly is angularly offset from a longitudinal axis of the adjacent storage assembly when the at least one end surface of the storage assembly is interfit with the at least one surface of the adjacent storage assembly The storage assembly may also include a pair of interior walls and a handle relief extending into the top wall and/or a frame assembly located between one of the end walls and one of the interior walls.

  • Publication number: 20220265051
    Abstract: A support assembly for supporting articles beneath a seat of a chair assembly includes a support member including an upper surface configured to support an article thereon, a bottom surface opposite the upper surface, and a plurality of fasteners configured to be spaced about a periphery of the support member from one another, each fastener including a first portion configured to extend about less than a majority of a circumference of a first leg of the chair assembly, where a weight of the support member is configured to keep the first portion of each fastener engaged with the first leg, and a second portion that is configured to cooperate with the first portion to prevent the first portion from being disengaged from about the first leg.

  • Patent number: 11172757
    Abstract: A leg assembly for a table includes a support that is configured to couple to a table worksurface. A leg member engages the support and is movable with respect to the support such that the leg assembly is configured to support the table worksurface above a floor surface. A first friction reduction member is attached to a first end of the leg member. A second friction reduction member is configured to attach to a second end of the leg member. The first and second ends are configured to alternately engage the support from one another such that the leg member is reversibly received by the support and such that the first friction reduction member abuts the floor surface when the second end of the leg member engages the support, and the second friction reduction member abuts the floor surface when the first end of the leg member engages the support.
