Abstract: A quickly erectable structure includes expandable/collapsible top and bottom assemblies that are interconnected to facilitate forming an enclosure and to facilitate taking down the enclosure. Specifically, the bottom assembly includes a plurality of interconnected X-shaped subframes that combine to form a telescoping scissor frame. The top assembly includes a plurality of inverted foldable Y-shaped subframes attached together and to a top of the telescoping scissor frame in a manner that combines the two to form a stable umbrella-like overcenter top frame attached atop the telescoping scissor frame. A drawstring mechanism is attached to a peak of the structure to hold the top frame in an expanded position. Flexible covers are attached to the two frames, and a drawstring arrangement on the top cover allows flaps to be lifted to form 360 degrees of windows.

Abstract: A partition system includes a first partition having a face and a horizontal row of slots accessible through the face, and a second partition having an abutting end adapted to be positioned adjacent the face. The first partition includes a frame and covers on the frame that define a horizontally extending gap for accessing the slots. A connector for interconnecting the abutting end to the face includes a one-piece U-shaped clip having a pair of legs forming a first end with opposing hooks configured to securely horizontally engage the slots in the face, and having an intermediate section forming a second end configured to securely engage the abutting end. The intermediate section is resilient such that the legs can be flexed together to an install position for insertion into a selected slot and can be flexed apart to a retaining position where the hooks are positioned to securely engage the selected slot in the first partition.

Abstract: A storage cabinet is disclosed having a frame and a drawer movable with respect to the frame and a locking system. The locking system includes an input device having an output link movable along a path between a raised position and a lowered position and a lock blade (or coupling link) coupled to the output link of the input device, an output end and a fulcrum point. The locking system also has a lockbar coupled to the lock blade, a first locking element associated with the lockbar, and a second locking element associated with the drawer to be engaged by the first locking element. When the input device drives the output link to the raised position, the input end of the lock blade is raised and the lock blade pivots about the fulcrum point so that the output end of the lock blade is lowered and the lockbar disengages the first locking element from the second locking element.

Abstract: An adjustable height table is provided including a panel forming a worksurface, and a pair of telescopingly adjustable legs attached to the panel for supporting the panel. Each telescopingly adjustable leg includes a first member connected to the panel and a second member slidingly engaging the first member and extendable from the first member. Apertures in the first and second members align as the worksurface is positioned at each of a plurality of selectable heights. The apertures are irregular in shape, and an L-shaped locking pin is extendable through the apertures and axially rotatable so that the locking pin is securely lockingly engages the apertures to thus securely hold the adjustable leg in a desired selectable height. One or more C-shaped covers is releasably attached onto the telescopingly adjustable leg, one of the covers when assembled to the leg preventing inadvertent dislodgement of the locking pin.

Abstract: A quick mounting arrangement detachably mounts a light fixture or the like in an overhead cabinet of a furniture article. Front and rear mounting ledges are located in the lower portion of the cabinet and are oriented to generally face one another. Two fixed latches protrude from the rear of the light fixture and include a clip to hold a power cord and the light, and at least one reciprocating latch protrudes from the front side of the light fixture. Each reciprocating latch is a one-piece molded part including a body adapted to slidingly fit in a shaped aperture in the light fixture, a first leg adapted to abuttingly engage the front mounting ledge, and a second leg extending at an angle from the first leg free end toward the light fixture to form a ramp. During installation, the light fixture is positioned at an angle so that the fixed latch rests on the rear ledge, and the reciprocating latch is positioned ready to be rotated toward the front ledge.
