Abstract: Modular seating sections can be joined to form booth seating that can easily be reconfigured or reupholstered. The seat sections include a generally vertical back element having a lower edge that is connected to the inner edge of a generally horizontal seat section. A gusset extends diagonally between the back section and the seat section to add rigidity and strength.

Abstract: A method for bending a sheet of wood with a plastic laminate applied to its outside face to form a rounded corner on the sheet includes first making a cut across the sheet which is configured to completely wrap around a dowel when the sheet is bent to the desired angle. The laminate is heated prior to bending if heating is required to make it bendable. Adhesive is applied to the dowel, and the dowel is placed on the cutout. The sheet is then bent around the dowel and is held in place until the adhesive has cured and the laminate cooled down. An apparatus attaches to both portions of the sheet and causes it to be bent around the dowel without causing the laminate to stretch or contract.

Abstract: A universal table A-frame that is constructed as a unitary structure for use in a booth seating system including a series of booths. The A-frame is a basic module for the booth seating system. The A-frame includes a pair of spaced apart frame rails arranged in a longitudinal parallel relationship and in the same horizontal plane by means of legs secured to the rails adjacent the ends of the rails. The A-frame includes a pair of elements that are individually secured to the inner edge of one of the rails and each extends upwardly towards the other rail. A horizontal frame element is secured in a cantilevered relationship to the free ends of the pair of elements to thereby complete the frame. The horizontal element is adapted to mount a table top. The legs of the A-frame may be offset for permitting the stacking of the A-frame in a nesting relationship. The frame rails are also provided with mounting plates for permitting the longitudinal adjustability of the frames.

Abstract: A seating frame is provided useable as a settee-cluster frame or individual settee each having an individual table top. The settee-cluster frame is of a unitary construction and is stackable, one frame on top of another. The settee-cluster frames may be arranged in a side-by-side relationship to support bench-type seating units and back rests to provide a settee seating unit providing individual seating with an individual table top.

Abstract: A one piece fan blade for a wind machine is sandwiched between a hub and a plate. A rotatable shaft penetrably engages a bore extending through the plate, the fan blade and the hub and is secured thereto by a teeter pin extending through the bore from opposed passageways in the hub. The shaft is centered radially inwardly in the bore of the hub between opposed journals extending radially inwardly into the bore from the opposed passageways to permit tilting of the hub about an axis coincident with the teeter pin to an angle commensurate with the spacing intermediate the shaft and the bore.
