Abstract: A knockdown furniture construction includes a member having recesses therein, a support structure having shoulders received in the recesses and configurations mating therewith, and separable fasteners for connecting the member with the support structure having strips of complementary gripping elements secured in the recesses of the member and on the shoulders of the support structure such that the mating configurations of the shoulders and recesses reinforces the connection of the complementary gripping elements to provide a sturdy furniture construction capable of being assembled and disassembled without tools or special hardware.

Abstract: This device is an atmospheric water collector and collects water from the atmosphere by providing a portable cabinet in which the entire apparatus is located, needing only a source of electricity.A dehumidifier is located in an upper compartment separated by a horizontal partition from a lower compartment. In the upper compartment, two opposite walls are perforated to provide access of new moisture carrying air to circulate about the dehumidifier, and a water discharge spout is also located above the horizontal partition, but is outside the dehumidifier compartment. A water feed conduit from the dehumidifier leads to a water collecting tank in the lower compartment, passing through a water filter on its way. An ultra-violet light bulb sterilizes the water in the tank. A water level control in the collecting tank controls the operation of the dehumidifier. A water pump controlled by a combination water discharge spout and pump switch pumps the water to the spout, up through a check valve and another filter.

Abstract: Knockdown upholstered furniture has basic components coupled together by male and female connectors permitting simple assembly and disassembly to facilitate shipping and storage without requiring tools or hardware. Each male connector has hook-like lugs projecting outwardly from the connector with an inclined inner edge for wedging the lugs in place once they are inserted through openings in each female connector, and the connectors are surrounded with resiliently padded upholstery such that the connectors are recessed within the outer edges of the upholstery which resiliently forces the male and female connectors into secure engagement with each other. Preferably, the female connectors have an irregular surface adjacent the openings therein to engage irregular surfaces on the inner edges of the lugs of the male connectors.
