Patent number: 10094404Abstract: A hardware system for assembly to form an item, such as an item of furniture. The system includes a tension adjustment device, such as a turnbuckle, which may be threadably engaged with two rods, inserted into two rod inserts located on each of the turnbuckle's two opposite sides. The rods may pass through a series of alternating base material components and spacers therebewteen to form an item's body, the turnbuckle being located, for example, in or near the middle of the two series. The ends of the rods opposite the turnbuckle may be threaded into inserts fixed in an end piece of base material of their respective series. The turnbuckle may be twisted or otherwise adjusted to secure or compress the system. A final assembly may have one or more such series and may give the illusion of a solid bar of hardware being passed through the base material.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2016Date of Patent: October 9, 2018Inventor: William R. Chesser

Patent number: 9826829Abstract: Modular constructions made of easily assembled and disassembled light-weight materials, where the structural parts of these constructions are made of multiwall sheets that enclose a supporting structure. The supporting structure may be a plurality of bubbles, corrugated or fluted structure that respond anisotropically to pressure applied towards a bendable surface of the two surfaces along a desired line of bending. The second surface opposite the bendable surface is textured allowing printing graphics on it that is not stretched or harmed in the bending area, thereby enabling continuous flow of graphics along the entire printing area. The line of bending may be formed thermally, mechanically or in a combination of thermal and mechanic operations. The sheets are folded upon themselves to form three-dimensional structures. These structures combine together to form modular constructions such as shelf systems, cabinets, closets, vanities and cupboards.Type: GrantFiled: April 2, 2015Date of Patent: November 28, 2017Inventor: Oren Sitton
