Abstract: An elongated polymer yarn includes a central body from which there extends a pair of spaced apart lateral projections. In one embodiment, the body is in the nature of a cylindrical member, while the projections are in the nature of flat planar members. The projections are arranged opposing one another about the body in co-planar arrangement, although angular arrangements are contemplated.

Abstract: An article of furniture is made from elongated polymer filaments. The polymer filaments may be monofilaments or plural filaments which are twisted together and heat set to prevent their untwisting during the subsequent weaving process. The heat setting of the polymer filaments is achieved by heating the polymer material either before or after the twisting process.

Abstract: A woven panel is formed from at least one first polymer yarn and at least one second polymer yarn wherein the second polymer yarn has a core. The core yarns provide mechanical strength for the woven material in supporting the coreless yarns when used in load bearing articles such as the seat or back portions of an article of furniture.

Abstract: An article of furniture is made from elongated polymer filaments. The polymer filaments may be monofilaments or plural filaments, which are twisted together and woven with polymer strands of non-twisted yarn to form a woven portion of material. The woven portion can be used to form the seat or back rest of a seating article of furniture for indoor or outdoor use.

Abstract: A woven panel is formed from a plurality of elongated yarns, with and without a center core. The core yarns provide mechanical strength for the woven material in supporting the coreless yarns when used in load bearing articles such as the seat or back portions of an article of furniture.

Abstract: An article of furniture is made from elongated polymer filaments which are attached and woven onto a frame forming woven panels. Subsequent to the weaving and attachment process, the completed article is placed in an oven to heat set the resulting woven material. The polymer filaments may be monofilaments or plural filaments which are twisted together and then heat set to prevent their untwisting during the subsequent weaving process. The heat setting of the polymer filaments is achieved by heating to about the softening temperature or above of the polymer material.

Abstract: A stackable arm chair is constructed from the combination of a frame which supports woven material to form the chair's seat, back and side arm portions. Openings provided in the side arm portions enable passage of the rear legs of an adjacent arm chair to provide a nested forward stack occupying a minimum of volume. A second side arm portion is arranged overlying the opening from outside the frame to obscure the openings to enhance the aesthetic appearance of the arm chair.
