Abstract: A strap-tightening structure for a furniture item having a frame that supports an elongate strap. The elongate strap includes a rearward section that overlies the back rest of the furniture and a forward section that overlies the seat section. A rearward end of the elongate strap overlies a transversely disposed rearward end of the frame and is secured against longitudinal displacement when the forward end of the elongate strap is pulled taut at the forward end of the furniture. A pair of tensioning belts are secured to a forward end of the elongate strap. Each of the tensioning belts is disposed in overlying relation to a transversely disposed forward end of the frame. A pair of releasable buckles is secured to a bottom side of the elongate strap and adjustably engages the tensioning belts so that the elongate strap can be pulled taut whenever it develops a sag.

Abstract: The present invention is an elastomeric sling furniture gasket including a substantially rod shaped member adapted to be longitudinally received and laterally retained in a tubing slot, a flexible but resilient gasket sheet depending substantially the length of the rod shaped member and adapted to extend out of the tubing slot, and a fabric affixing means on the gasket sheet distal to the rod shaped member adapted to rigidly secure a fabric material forming a support area for an occupant.

Abstract: A wall mountable free-standing storage rack for compacts disks comprises an open framework forming a plurality of adjacent rectangular receptacles, each being sized to accept a compact disk when the disk is oriented with one of the disk's largest surfaces facing outward of the rack. At least one releasible latch is integrated into each of the receptacles for releasible retaining a disk therein. Each of the rectangular receptacles is formed from four elongated side members releasible joined to four corner members. Preselected ones of the corner members are connectable to other elongated side members for forming the adjacent receptacles. The corner members also include a pin and socket arrangement on a rear surface for attaching a mount to an assembled rack. The rack may be wall releasibly mounted using the mount in one form or be coupled to other racks in various angular orientations using the mount in other forms.

The rack may be wall mounted using Velcro type fasteners or the corner members may include pin holes formed therethrough for attaching the rack to a wall with small brads or pins.

Abstract: Decorative advertising cover for overhead fluorescent strip lighting, the cover having the general shape of a triangular prism, the cover including two rectangular sheets of flexible transparent plastic having two opposite sides slidingly engaged in channel recesses in two opaque triangular end caps having a top edge to fit closely adjacent a ceiling to which the fluorescent lighting fixture is attached and two side edges joined in a rounded corner opposite to the top edge, a cutout portion in the central portion of the top edge and extending downwardly to fit closely adjacent the outside perimeter of a fluorescent strip lighting fixture, laterally slidable finger means to engage the upper side of the fluorescent lighting fixture to support the cover, laterally movable magnet means mounted on opposite sides of the cutout portion to fasten themselves to the vertical sides of the fluorescent lighting fixture by magnetic attraction, three corner spacer members to join the respective corners of the two end caps a
