Abstract: Provided is a table system that allows for multiple table frame arrangements using various combinations of fundamental building pieces. An adjustable height table leg includes two parallel and horizontal slots adapted to receive and clamp two independent frame members of the frame. The frame members may be bent or angled in a plurality of configurations to achieve a desired shape for the table frame. Sections of the frame members may also include apertures through which fasteners may be threaded to connect two frame members at right angles.

Abstract: Disclosed is an intuitively operable rotation mechanism for a flip top table that includes an offsetting feature that provides aligned table legs when the table is in a use configuration while offsetting the legs when they are in a storage configuration. By offsetting the table legs in storage configuration, the height of the table legs can be more than one half of the length of the table. This feature is of particular importance for folding tables that are positioned at a standing height.

Abstract: Disclosed is a four piece symmetrical compression fastener for a mitered joint. The fastener includes two L-brackets, each L-bracket having two flat plates intersecting each other at angles in two dimensions, the intersecting edges of the flat plates forming two right angles. The L-brackets are spaced apart from each other by both a large L-brace and a small L-brace, each brace interconnecting with each flat plate of each L-bracket. Upon the fastener being inserted into two mitered joining pieces, the flat plates of the L-brackets are compressed into curved plates that press against the interior of the joining piece and secure the fastener within the pieces. The two mitered joining pieces cooperate to fully enclose the compression fastener.

Abstract: Presented is a table with a pivotable table top that is mounted rotatably and lockably about an axis of rotation extending in a longitudinal direction. The table has a pivoting mechanism on a table frame in the upper region of two lateral table legs. The table can be folded out or folded between a horizontal use position and a storage position. A pivoting movement of the table top is achieved, while combining secure operation and simple handling. The pivoting mechanism includes at least one pair of inter-engaging, mutually complementary tooth portions that are arranged concentrically about the axis of rotation. The tooth portions can be moved apart relative to one another by at least the tooth depth in the direction of the axis of rotation in order to enable the pivoting movement. In each pair, one tooth portion is mounted fixedly in terms of rotation with respect to the table leg and the other tooth portion is mounted fixedly in terms of rotation with respect to the table top.

Abstract: A piece of furniture, for example, a table, having a frame, supported on legs and carrying a table top, embodied with two parallel separate longitudinal profiles and at least two connected transverse struts and which has hollow recesses, accessible from an underside thereof, for the upper end sections of the legs. A simple and stable leg fixing is thus achieved, whereby coil-section shaped contact elements are arranged on circumferential inner surfaces in the recesses, and contact elements, cooperating with the above for a play-free fixing of the legs, are arranged on the external surface of the end sections, or conversely the spiral section shaped contact elements are embodied on the end sections and the contact elements are embodied in the recesses.

Abstract: An office furniture piece combination of a plurality of pieces of office furniture, in particular office desks. A frame with a uniform cross piece has lateral legs which can be connected with each other by a non-free-standing coupling elements using bolts and receivers. A simple, rigid connection between the cross pieces of adjacent office furniture pieces and the coupling element, which can be made and released without tools, is achieved with receivers positioned into the front faces of the cross pieces. The exterior cross section of the coupling elements are essentially adapted to the exterior cross section of the cross pieces and support rotatably seated locking bolts which are oriented towards the receivers of the cross pieces. The coupling elements have a preset, identical dimension in the longitudinal direction of the cross pieces. The locking bolts extend from both front faces of the coupling elements with eccentric locking heads or clamping bolts.

Abstract: A work table or office desk having two pairs of support arms which are pivotable attached on a cross brace of the table frame. The support arms comprise two support arm halves which enclose each one of two rails of the cross brace by grooves such that the support arm is captively maintained, but can be adjusted at a preset pivot angle. A definite lockable setting of the support arms in the set pivot position is obtained in a simple manner where at least one support arm half of each support arm is provided with a denticulation in the area of the groove, the segment element has a counter-denticulation which is in engagement with the denticulation of the support arm half, and a pre-stressed resilient element, in a loosened state of a bolt connection holding said support arm halves together, pulls the support arm halves together and adjustably maintains a functional connection of the denticulation and the counter-denticulation by a limited resilience.

Abstract: A work table or office desk with a frame and a work surface supported by the frame, where the frame has a horizontal crosspiece, the ends of which are connected with each one of a table leg having base element. The table legs are fastened by simple structure to the crosspiece in such a way that it is possible to bring them from a space-saving storage position into a stable position of use with only a small assembly effort.

Abstract: A work table or office desk with a work surface which is adjustable in height or inclination, and is supported by two pairs of pivotal support arms on the cross piece of a table support. One pair of support arms is oriented towards the front and the other pair of the support arms towards the back of the work surface. The support arms are hinged on sliders which are adjustable in guide rails extending from the front to the back, on the underside, of the work surface. A simple drive device, which can be integrated into the support arms, provides numerous possibilities for changing the height and/or inclination of the work surface.
