    Abstract: A tray attachment assembly providing a horizontal surface for placement of items thereon. The assembly includes a tray that defines the horizontal surface and a connection mechanism for fixedly clamping the tray to an attachment surface. The tray includes a first planar section extending between a first lateral edge and a second lateral edge that defines the horizontal surface. A second planar section extends from the second lateral edge of the first planar section at a transverse angle from the first planar section for preventing unintended interaction with the connection mechanism. The transition between the first planar section and the second planar section presents a rounded profile.

  • Publication number: 20200196751
    Abstract: A modular patio furniture assembly and tool-free method of assemblage includes at least one outdoor club chair, at least one patio sofa, and a garden table. The patio furniture includes multiple panels, legs, feet, and cushions that detachably attach through a series of strategically positioned pegs and hooks at their edges. These connecting pegs and hooks detachably mate with corresponding cavities and slots at the edges of the panels and the termini of the legs and feet in a sliding, friction fit locking relationship. The snap, friction-fit connectivity of the connectors can be accomplished by a non-skilled user with no tools. In this manner, the furniture assembly permits rapid assembly, disassembly, and reassembly to put together a variety of furniture configurations. The assemblage of the patio furniture requires no tools to assemble and can be carried out at a location remote from the factory where the patio furniture is manufactured.

  • Publication number: 20200196754
    Abstract: A flexibly partitioned drawer comprises a drawer body formed with an accommodating cavity and at least one partitioning member that moves left and right and is disposed in the accommodating cavity for use in partitioning the accommodating cavity. Leading and trailing ends of the dividing member respectively protrude in the direction of front and rear walls of the drawer body to form protruding portions. The front and rear walls of the drawer body are respectively formed thereon with sliding grooves that cooperate with corresponding side protruding portions so as to provide the dividing member with movement along the left and right directions. The sliding grooves penetrate side walls of the drawer body such that the accommodating cavity communicates with an outer part of the drawer body.

  • Publication number: 20200196758
    Abstract: This base isolation system protects barrel racks from earthquake motions through a pad designed to slide on a prepared surface to critically reduce the amount of energy otherwise transferred to a stack of barrels. The pad is comprised of two layers: a plate, usually steel, and an underlayer, usually a high density plastic. The interaction of the underlayer with the prepared surface depends on a coefficient of static and kinetic friction between the underlayer and the surface that prevents relative movement in normal operation and yet allows the isolation pad to move relative to the surface during a seismic event.
