Abstract: A device for lifting modular furniture comprising a base member, an elongated member pivotally connected to the base member and a furniture engaging portion rotatably mounted to one end of the elongated member. The furniture engaging portion includes a plate having a plurality of teeth extending from one end thereof for mating with slots in the modular furniture.

Abstract: A manual wrench includes a plate-like member having a plurality of substantially equally spaced projections extending around the periphery of the plate-like member. A slot is formed between two projections. A handle can be friction fitted over one of the radially extending projections for increasing the amount of leverage that can be applied to the wrench.

Abstract: The cove base is made from a relatively thin extruded vinyl and has a height dimension which is substantially greater than the thickness. Although the cove base is used as a top set base and covers imperfections in the outer edges of floor tiles or the like, it has the appearance of a straight base in that it does not include a rounded toe. The cove base is wedge shaped in that it is thinner at the top and gradually thickens toward the bottom while the front surface remains substantially planar. A flexible projection which is a continuation of the front surface extends slightly downwardly and conforms to any high or low spots that may be in the flooring. This projection also defines a space behind the projection and beneath the remaining parts of the cove base which may be used to contain a foam strip or caulking material. The cove base, the foam strip and/or the caulking material may include an antimicrobial agent therein.

Abstract: A prehung gauged cove base is adapted to be secured to a wall base and cooperates with the outer edges of a floor covering. The cove base of the invention has an upper portion which resembles an extruded vinyl straight cove base. Extending downwardly from the rear of said upper portion is a thin walled lower gauging portion. The bottom of the gauging portion is adapted to rest on the floor and to raise the lowermost part of the upper portion above the floor a distance substantially equal to the thickness of the floor covering whereby the edges of the floor covering can be tucked under the upper portion of the cove base. The forward end of the lowermost part of the upper portion is preferably pointed downwardly to better flex around and hold the floor covering. The gauging portion may have one or more continuous longitudinal grooves so that portions can be removed by stripping areas away in order to change the height of the gauge.
