  • Patent number: 10595630
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a system for an adjustable table assembly that can be positioned in as storage and a usage position. The table assembly can include one or more legs supporting a table. The table assembly uses one or more movement control brackets and one or more locking members to secure the table in the usage position and the storage position. The bracket has a defined path that is followed by the locking member as the table is moved between the usage position and the storage position. When the table is in the usage position or the storage position, the locking member moves into a locking position within a corresponding locking portion of the bracket. When the locking member is in the locking position, movement of the table is substantially prevented. Specifically, angular movement of the tabletop is prevented. A user can move the locking member out of the locking portion and into a movement portion of the movement control bracket.

  • Patent number: 10537180
    Abstract: A chair having a seat portion that is capable of selectively moving between a rocking position and a stop position, the seat portion being joined to a bottom support comprising a rocking section, a flat section, and a transitional section, the rocking section having a defined curvature and extending between a front end of the bottom support component and the transitional section, the flat section having a substantially flat portion extending between a back end of the bottom support component and the transitional section, in the rocking position the chair is movable along the defined curvature of the rocking section, in the stop position the chair is configured to limit movement of the chair to the stop position, wherein the chair transitions between the rocking position and stop position by rotating past the transitional section of the bottom support.

  • Patent number: 10368638
    Abstract: Disclosed is a novel furnishing assembly. The assembly is comprised of multiple components, which are nestable or stackable in relation to one another. The components may be of different sizes and may mimic each other in structure. Each component is comprised of a top panel, two opposing legs, and one or more handles. A smaller component can be stacked on a larger component to form a stand up desk or lectern or the like. Each component can be used for various purposes, including as a stool, desk, or chair. Each leg includes two feet, which can be covered with glides. Each component can be secured to a substructure or include a crossmember for added stability. The components can include other components for improved functionality, including a magnet, a door, a drawer, a keyboard tray, or a storage box.
