Patent number: 6447067Abstract: An assembly includes a seating unit, and a pair of legs. The legs each engage and support a bottom of the seating unit, and include a protruding attachment member that slides mateably into a pocket in a rear of the seating unit. When the fasteners are installed, the protruding attachment member cannot be removed from the pocket. By this arrangement, the protruding attachment member and pocket form part of a retaining structure for retaining the leg to the seating unit. A back screen releasably fits between the leg and the back, and is retained by the protruding attachment member against the back. The screen can be shipped disassembled from the seating unit, and assembled on site to provide a privacy function while complimenting the chair's architectural appearance.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 2001Date of Patent: September 10, 2002Assignee: Steelcase Development CorporationInventors: Otto N.
