  • Patent number: 10595630
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a system for an adjustable table assembly that can be positioned in as storage and a usage position. The table assembly can include one or more legs supporting a table. The table assembly uses one or more movement control brackets and one or more locking members to secure the table in the usage position and the storage position. The bracket has a defined path that is followed by the locking member as the table is moved between the usage position and the storage position. When the table is in the usage position or the storage position, the locking member moves into a locking position within a corresponding locking portion of the bracket. When the locking member is in the locking position, movement of the table is substantially prevented. Specifically, angular movement of the tabletop is prevented. A user can move the locking member out of the locking portion and into a movement portion of the movement control bracket.

  • Patent number: 9995328
    Abstract: A kit includes a furniture module bracket and a furniture leg. The furniture module bracket has a flange defining a furniture leg attachment opening. Protrusions are attached to the flange to define a keyway between adjoining protrusions. One of the protrusions defines a protrusion aperture. The furniture leg comprises a furniture leg bracket attached to a support member. The furniture leg bracket defines keys which can pass through the keyways. At least one of the keys defines a key aperture. The furniture leg can be attached to the furniture module by (i) inserting the furniture leg bracket into the furniture leg attachment opening, (ii) rotating the support member until the keys are no longer aligned with the keyways and (iii) securing the furniture module bracket to the furniture leg bracket with a fastener disposed within an aligned key aperture and a protrusion aperture.
