Abstract: A vertical stacking leg-over-leg ganged chair is attachable side-by-side and includes an upper frame adapted to receive and support a seating platform, and a lower frame supporting the upper frame, and a backrest for supporting a user seated in the chair. The ganged chair includes a front pair of legs angled frontward, and a rear pair of legs angled rearward, each pair connected underneath the lower frame. The right legs are connected to a right frame member, and the left legs to a left frame member, with the left frame member being of a lesser length than the right frame member. In a side-by-side ganged setup, the wider spaced apart right legs of one ganged chair fit over the left legs of a second like chair, forming a single width leg unit on either side of the ganged chairs. Each upper portion of the left legs includes an elongated slot that accepts an elongated lug on the upper portion of each right leg, for connective support when chairs are attached horizontally.

Abstract: A stackable chair is provided which is configured to alter the forward shift of the center of gravity of a stack of the chairs such that a larger number of such chairs can be stacked in a stable stack as compared to a stack of prior art chairs. The stackable chair includes a seat member, a seat back extending from the seat member, a plurality of legs secured to the seat member and a seat pan secured to the bottom of the seat member. The seat member defines a wedge shape and the seat pan is disposed at angle with respect to the seat member. The seat member and the seat pan cooperate to alter the forward shift of the center of gravity to an arcuate path when the chairs are placed in a stack. Further, the seat pan is configured to protect the seat cushion upon which it rests against indentations.

Abstract: A stackable chair (10) and an associated stacking support assembly. The chair (10) includes a frame (22) defining at least first and second front leg members (14, 16) and first and second rear leg members (18, 20), with a seat portion (12) being supported on the frame (22). The chair (10) includes a stacking support assembly for facilitating the stacking of the chair (10) upon another chair (10). The stacking support assembly includes first and second lower support bars (26, 28) mounted on opposite sides of the frame (22) below the seat portion (12), and includes first and second upper support bars (30, 32) mounted on opposite sides of the frame (22) below the seat portion (12) and above, and selectively spaced from, the first and second lower support bars (26, 28), respectively.

Abstract: An apparatus is provided for facilitating operation of a computer input device which includes a tracking member. The apparatus includes a sheet having a top surface configured to engage the tracking member and a bottom surface, and a double sided tape having a permanent adhesive on a first side surface and a removable adhesive on a second side surface. The first side surface of the barrier is affixed to the bottom surface of the sheet by the permanent adhesive, and the removable adhesive is exposed to secure the sheet to a support surface. A cover is located over the removable adhesive on the second surface of the double sided tape to protect the removable adhesive.

Abstract: A chair frame and associated chair framing material. The chair frame (10) includes an upper frame portion (12) for supporting a seat (14) and a plurality of leg members (22, 24). The chair frame (10) is fabricated of elongated bar material (26) defining a substantially rectangular cross-section with corners which define expanded areas such that reenforcing ribs (28) are provided along the length of the elongated bar material (26).

Abstract: A device for selectively anchoring a seat assembly, such as a stool or chair, relative to a fixed station, such as a gaming machine or service station. The anchoring device includes a sled or support base for the seat assembly and a quick release anchoring system or connector assembly for releasably locking the sled or support base in a desired position relative to the fixed station and limiting lateral sliding movement of the sled in its locked position. The anchoring system is operable using a very small degree of vertical lifting of the seat assembly and sled base and which is locked automatically in the mating bracket against lateral displacement from the bracket after installation of the seat assembly in the mating bracket.

Abstract: A stacking interface device (10) for altering the stacked disposition of a chair (12) to facilitate the stable stacking of such chair on other chairs. The stacking interface device (10) includes an interface body (14) for being secured beneath the seat bottom (16) of a chair (12), the interface body (14) having a forward portion (18) and a rearward portion (20). The interface body (14) also defines a lower surface (22) for supporting the chair upon the seat cushion (24) of a second chair (12). The lower surface (22) of the interface body (14) is disposed at an angle relative to the lower surface (26) of the seat bottom (16) of the chair to which the device (10) is attached such that the distance between the lower surface (22) of the interface body (14) and the lower surface (26) of the seat bottom of the chair decreases from the forward portion (18) of the interface body to the rearward portion (20) of the interface body (14).
