Patent number: 8876071Abstract: A support assembly for an item of furniture with an elongated support structure having a first pair of feet connected to a lower end thereof; a passage defining unit defining a guide passage connected to the support structure and extending lengthwise; a support member displaceable with respect to the support structure having a second pair of feet at its lower end thereof; the displaceable support member provided with a guided pin complementary to and longitudinally slidably engaged in the guide passage, characterized thereby that the passage defining unit has a hollow adjustable guide member whereby the dimension of the passage is adjustable in accordance with the dimension of the pin; and the passage defining unit is fastenable to the support structure once it has been adjusted, such that the passage defining unit may first be adjusted to conform with the guide pin and then be fastened to the support structure.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2010Date of Patent: November 4, 2014Assignee: Hedera ABInventor: Rory Brooke

Publication number: 20130112821Abstract: This invention relates to a self adjusting furniture stabilising device (10), connectable to the bottom surface of a foot (12) of a table (14). The device (10) comprises a first body (16), connectable to the foot (12) and a second body (18) for resting on a surface (20). The first body (16) includes first ramp formations (22), having a plurality of first engaging surfaces (24) and the second body (18) includes second ramp formations (26), having a plurality of complementary second engaging surfaces (28). The first and second bodies (16 and 18) are coupled to one another with the plurality of first and second engaging surfaces (24 and 28) engaging one another to permit rotational movement of the second body (18) relative to the first body (16), so that the stabilising device (10) self-adjusts in the event of a rotational force applied thereto in order to stabilise the table (14).Type: ApplicationFiled: May 24, 2011Publication date: May 9, 2013Inventor: Rory Brooke

Patent number: 7930980Abstract: An automatically stabilizing table has an elongate support structure (14) supporting a table top (12) at an upper end and having a first pair of feet (50) at a lower end. An elongate guide formation (38) projects from a lower end of the support structure. A displaceable support member (30), having a second pair of feet (32), is engaged with the guide formation such that the displaceable support member is slidably displaceable along the guide formation and is automatically frictionally engageable with the guide formation in response to pivoting of the displaceable support member about a pivot axis which is transverse to the guide formation, to anchor the displaceable support member frictionally against sliding displacement relative to the guide formation. A pair of springs (48) is provided to urge the support member downwardly. The support member is located in channel shaped spokes (20) to inhibit swiveling thereof on the guide formation.Type: GrantFiled: August 2, 2004Date of Patent: April 26, 2011Assignee: Hedera ABInventor: Rory Brooke

Patent number: 7677524Abstract: The invention relates to a self-stabilizing support assembly (14) for an item of furniture, such as a table, stool or chair. The assembly includes a support structure (16) for connection at an upper end thereof to an upper portion of an item of furniture. The support structure has a first pair of feet (50) at a lower end (22) thereof. An elongated guides pin (38) projects from a lower end of the support structure. A displaceable support member (30), which has a second pair of feet (32), is provided with a housing (36) defining a guide passage, in which guide passage the guide pin is longitudinally slidably received.Type: GrantFiled: October 7, 2004Date of Patent: March 16, 2010Assignee: Hedera ABInventor: Rory Brooke
