  • Patent number: 11815126
    Abstract: The Twist-Base Mount couples a single-screw, substrate-penetrating element with an elastically-deformable, concave base element that, once installed, acts as a spring, exerting a downward force upon the substrate around its circumference. Because the base element is rigidly attached to the substrate-penetrating element, a force applied to the Mount parallel to the plane of the substrate is offset by the pressure of the perimeter of the base element against the substrate, resulting in additional strength. The Mount's single-screw, self-boring element allows quick and easy installation. The spring-like base-element permits 360-degree rotation of the Mount while maintaining uniform pressure against the substrate, thereby preserving strength regardless of rotational positioning. The mount remains economical in relation to mounts of similar strength and rotational adjustability due to its insert-molded construction.

  • Patent number: 11793310
    Abstract: The embodiments relate to a geometric under structure, central and outer hub for a GFN plastic chair base. The geometric shape and dimensions are critical components to the overall strength of the chair base hub and arms when either vertical or rotational forces are applied at the central hub. The central hub is of sufficient thickness to maintain dimensional stability when the forces are applied. The overall geometry and material composition enable the hub area to be constructed with minimal plastic wall thickness while optimizing the physical strength of the article and facilitating high production rate.
